Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!
If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)
If you want to know HOW I make my videos including gear, lighting, all the tiddly bits that connect it all together, (with cheaper alternatives and kit I used to use), I've listed each item, what it's great at, and why I use it on the gear section of my website here:

Evan you're starting to develop a very slight British accent and it's making me chuckle
There are some words he says like he grew up in London. Similar to how I grew up in Oxford so I have the accent of the poshos, but I’ve been living in Yorkshire for years so my family thinks I say ‘school’ and ‘pool’ all weirdly.
like how he says long
We will civilise him eventually.
0:31 assoomption 😂
"bUht-"
Let’s be honest… Everyone loves Dodie. Like what’s there not to like she has a incredible voice, she’s funny, and she’s super pretty.
I think people in general like to imagine there's more going on behind the scenes than the really is, that they have some kind of insider knowledge/intuition, and so they want to will it into existence, hoping it really happens so they can say that they knew all along. a similar thing happens when there's drama, acting like they have some insider knowledge. I'm ashamedly just as guilty of it. It's easy to forget we only experience 10 minutes out of the 1140 minutes of a daily vloggers life. or **0.007** of their day. in Evan's case one video is about 0.001 of his week... that's not a lot to know... in fact it may as well be nothing at all
Cmon - we all got a lil crush on Dodie
This is probably totally different from Evan's case, but I also quite often get 'crushes' on people or at least find them charming and get really giddy and happy when spending time together - totally feeling similarities to actual romantic crushes I've had in the past - but when thinking more closely I can't at all imagine us dating, nor feel any pleasure in fantasizing about such (rather the thought feels odd). Eventually I resigned to just tell myself that I tend to develop very deep platonic attachments. My best friend is one of those cases. I'd gladly move together and spend the rest of my life with them, but any romantic interactions? Nah.
@@user-om5tv5fd9s A lot of asexual or aromantic people would call that a "squish" - It's like a crush but for platonic feelings!
Either that or blisss 🤣
"I don't dumb things down for people"
Thank you Evan.
Right? Had a friend tell me to cut open a bag of mycelium with a sterile knife and proceed to include that "sterile means very clean." It was honestly just insulting and demeaning lol. Ain't gonna hold it to 'em but man 👀
@@ZebrasAreAwesome011ugh. Like unless I ask, I don’t need a “explain it to me like I’m five” explanation. Like no. Just don’t
@@ZebrasAreAwesome011 what type of mushies ya got there boyo
@@evan Lion's mane! Coolest part is that this mushroom culture is the same one that I gifted to this pal a year ago that kicked off his interest in keeping and growing mushrooms from spore. 😁 Genetically the same! It all came full circle haha
I remember this from like 10 to 15 years ago. One of my fellow staff members was inviting a rather young American to Europe to give a talk at a conference. And that person missing the flight because he thought he could pickup a passport the day before the flight.
And everyone on the staff team was like... "WHAT YOU MEAN!? HE DOES NOT HAVE A PASSPORT!?" and "WHAT YOU MEAN!? HE THINKS YOU CAN PICK ONE UP WITHIN 24H?".
That always stuck with me... down to giving specific warnings to people we invite that they need a passport and need to pick one up well in advance.
But it always gave me the impression that it was pretty uncommon for "normal" Americans to travel abroad.
Iirc only like 40% of Americans have passports. I don't have one but i do have an enhanced license and that allows me to go to Canada, Mexico, and a few Caribbean countries passport free.
I'd say, as an American, that most of us have not travelled abroad ourselves but most of us do know a couple of people who have travelled. So while it's not a thing everyone does, it's not this super strange thing to hear that someone is going out of the country.
I've noticed this too, my partner recently got connected to a fellow American moving to NZ by a former co-worker, as she had a few questions she wanted to ask. She admitted to being quite surprised by how expensive and lengthy the process was to get her visa approved, and how she couldn't sort out most things (a bank account, tax ID etc.) until she was actually in the country. None of this is unique to NZ, but having never applied for a visa anywhere before, she had no idea 'it was so complicated'.
I lived in the US in the early 90s. Most of our friends were well educated Americans who had travelled and so had passports. What surprised me was their attitude to the passports. They were told that it is a super important document and so many of them stored their passports in bank safety deposit boxes. We kept ours in a desk drawer, or occasionally I’d even have mine in my handbag. I’ve never even seen a safety deposit box let alone used one. I did also meet a large amount of people who had never been outside of the US and who had no idea how to even go about it. It was just some vague, nebulous concept that they’d never given any thought to. The fact that we had moved to the US with work, but weren’t planning on staying was also very strange to them…like why would anyone want to leave? Talking to some of these people, even ones who had been to college made me realise just how little some Americans understood about travel and the outside world. I’m not sure that much has changed in 30 years.
@@Punchgirl4 American here and I can unfortunately confirm all of this in 2023. I never realized keeping your passport locked away was weird until just now.
As a fellow immigrant in the UK (Wales though!) I can't tell you how often Ive been told in the past to 'just leave if I don't like it here!!!1!'. Pisses me off. I'm allowed to live here and point out the many flaws of this island, why shouldnt I? Being quiet and accepting everything with a smile is unhelpful. If I chose to live here I want it to become a better place for everyone, it's not that hard to understand.
As a native Brit, I greatly appreciate the opinions of those that have chosen to live here. It's not like you woke up one day and decided to be here, either you or your parents (or circumstances) have brought you here and you've gone through a whole world of change and probably soul searching before actively deciding yup, this is where I am going to be and I am going to go through the hoops to stay here. Different perspectives, different life experiences, different thoughts. Hell, by choosing to be here rather you've made a conscious decision to be part of this society rather than just being born here.
Keep up with those opinions about the flaws and talking about them. That's way different than whining or complaining about everything around us (which maybe a common Brit past time), or than telling Brits that they are wrong. Opinions are good. Discussing them even better.
As a native Brit married to a non-Brit people really don't understand how hard it is to emigrate to here if you're not supported by an employer or an educational institution... Or the tory party. 😅
Too true. I was born in the UK and moved to New Zealand as a tween. Despite spending my entire adult life in the country, I've come across my fair share of Kiwis who've told me (due to my slightly English accent) that my opinion isn't welcome or valid. I found that telling people that I've been a taxpayer since the age of 15 shuts people up and makes them uncomfortable. Morale of the story is don't judge on accents, people!
As a Brit all I can say is don't feel privileged that people tell you to move away if you don't like it where you are, or to go back to where you came from. I have had them all said to me, and as I said I'm a Brit, and pointing out that you are British/English does not make it better, it can make it a lot worse.
The thing is that people feel proud of where they are from, even if it's a shithole, it's their shithole. They may make fun of the place, slag it off, but anyone not from there, well that's a no no.
Complaining about the state of the country is a national pastime and should be encouraged.
Is it odd that I've made no assumptions about you? I just like the videos and you're fun to listen/watch. :)
Same!
The "I hate reading" thing might be connected to aphantasia, the inability to see with your minds eye/ visualizing while reading. It's my current favourite topic. I don't visualise while reading and still love it but I know a few people who do not enjoy it for the that reason. Other people I think don't read well so it's really exhausting and not fun.
I learned about aphantasia in a discussion about Tolkien. Tolkien uses a lot of descriptions in his books, and people either love it or hate it... Turns out that about half the people in that discussion who hated his style had some form of aphantasia.
I think a lot of it is people who've struggled with reading, e.g. they're dyslexic. Why would you enjoy something that you struggle with?
I know someone who doesn't even like reading instructions because of their dyslexia!
That doesn't mean that they don't enjoy stories or learning, but they'd rather listen to an audio book or podcast or watch a play, film or video instead of reading about it.
@@hannahk1306a lot of people with dyslexia are mistreated by teachers. They are forced to read and produce texts in the standard learn procedure. I have dyslexia and I’m from 1970. I my primary school years a lot of teachers didn’t know anything about dyslexia so my teacher labelled me as dumb because a had troubles with left and right a “b” was for me the same as a “d”. My parents helped me by finding the ook I could read and had a subject I liked, school was a hell until I did go to a technical collage. The problem for a lot of people with dyslexia is the learn in a different way than the standard education methods and dyslexia has very different forms
I think speaking to everyone in the same way is good. You’re respecting them. It’s nice 😊
Never getting bored because you never allow situations to get boring sounds... stressful to me. As you say, Evan, you like to keep occupied. I've heard that there's a school of thought within psychology that occasional boredom is healthy and actually boosts creativity, although I could be misremembering a misrepresentitive media report I read years ago... I had quite a boring job for a while when I was living in Australia for a year and I loved it! I felt like Albert Einstein in the Swiss patent office (just without the world-changing insights into physics or, well, anything). My imagination was so much more fertile. Now I have a very engaging job, and all my brain wants at the end of the day is sweet, mind-numbing television and CZcams. Not that you're mind-numbing. Excuse me while I scramble out of this hole I just dug myself...
I find that a "boring" job that doesn't require much effort or thought and so leaves space to think on other things is much more interesting vs a job that involves a lot of work and concentration, but is focused on something you wouldn't choose to do in your free time is actually a lot more bording.
@@VtorHunter Oh, very true, I also have had a job like before 😅
Love this type of content! Thankyou for addressing the non-relationship thing (again) I have a male best friend, as does my daughter. People need to deal with it
Yes! My best friend is a woman-we’re basically brother and sister. There’s nothing romantic at all about our relationship, but people always assume we’re in a relationship or I’m flaming gay. We just shrug it off, but assumptions like that are just silly.
My best friend is a woman, and throughout my life I've always tended to get along better with girls/women than other boys/men. I can only assume that people who think close platonic relationships across genders are "impossible" or "weird" both (a) are heteronormative, and (b) don't view particular sexes as individual humans outside of romance/sex objects. Which... ya know, kinda messed up.
@@IceMetalPunk Much agreed
I put this video on whilst making breakfast, and you started talking about beans on toast with cheese just after I’d finished grating the cheese and WHILST I was stirring the beans I’m heating up to bung onto my toast in a minute 😮😮😮
The stars have aligned, mind blown 🤯…
Just found your channel today and I am a fan of your stuff!! Excited to watch more
Thank you! I'm doing a big amount of #content for June I hope you like :)
Evan, the warriors bond we share from learning HTML via Neopets has made me feel closer to you than anything I've ever learnt about you. 😭👍 Much love, brother. 😆 (My favourite was the Chomby.)
I had a chomby!! Saved up ages of neopoints for one. Even got a biscuit paintbrush to make it… a cookie one :)
@@evan I had/have(?) a Sketch Chomby! I was on "The Chomby Guild" and did their 'website' where I saved JPGs of all the omelettes from the Giant Omelette, then fed one bite to my pets, then saved the new jpg and coded it so on the site you'd have a row of whole omelettes and it would get a bite taken out of it when you hovered. 🥹 and Neopets would do scavenger hunts where they'd hide clues in HTML comments which taught me to snoop in the code of differents sites. what a blast from the past haha :)
The whole thing about “well you can leave” is partially because you have made the biggest step of choosing to come in the first place is something that people from here feel they could never do. You have a freedom that most people feel they never have themselves. Doesn’t mean they want you to go, just they feel you could and they can’t (even though they could!)
I was in the gifted and talented program in the UK. What that meant was we met twice a term at lunchtime and the teachers said ‘you are in the gifted and talented program’ and literally nothing else was done/said about it 😂 they may as well have not botheres
I've a feeling that maple tree, oak tree story is going to stick with me.
I'm similar where i want to correct so we can both learn, however when it comes to social interactions it doesn't do anything except make you look really petty
Correct, generally being pedantic and correcting people on inconsequential things like types of trees in casual conversation will most likely annoy the person regardless of if you are correct or not. Save it for things that actually need correcting.
There's this weird and delicate balance between "I just think everyone is better off if we all learn as much as possible, myself included" and "but other people don't want to learn, they just want to say what they believe and have people nod and smile". I don't yet know how to navigate that, because even if I just "let it go", it eats me up inside to act like I agree with something which I know to be patently false.
@@IceMetalPunk I used to have this problem too, and I have mostly overcome it. My one tip is to be confident and secure that you're a smart person with nothing to prove.
The reason it used to eat me up was because it looked like I had agreed with a wrong thing and what if other people knew or found out it was wrong and then they'd think I didn't know and etc...
But it doesn't matter. I'm smart. I know stuff. I think most people who meet me won't go away with the impression that I'm not smart, and if someone does, it doesn't matter what they think.
But idk godspeed, it's so hard to unlearn 😂
I'm an American living in the US, and I had Heinz Beanz on toast for breakfast this morning. It is a nice, lazy comfort food!
I'm in the UK and I don't know anyone who eats beans on toast for breakfast, that's more of a lunch dish.
I used to have beans on toast for breakfast (I'm a brit). Usually with bacon and egg. It was my family's version of an English breakfast growing up.
You have to have butter on the toast , hot.
As a fellow Brit I am horrified other Brits have said you're not allowed an opinion about the Monarchy.
I feel you have just as much opinion as anyone who calls the UK home!
💜
I feel like the Monarchy is THE most British thing to have an opinion on. That and what shade of tea is correct 😂😂😂
@@danielwebb8402 I am not Spanish and I do not live in Spain. But I do have an opinion about their royal family, because I can read. Equally, I am not American and I do not live in the United States, but I have very definite opinions about Trump, from afar, and have, I believe, quite a strong handle on his domestic policies. Again, it's because not only can I read, it's also because I choose to do so. I am not unique in having this ability and I am hardly privy to state secrets. The relevant information is all out there and is available to all who care to look. And quite often the opinion of an outsider has more validity and more perception than the opinion of those on the inside. So, yes, Evan's opinion about the British constitution has as just as much weight as yours, if not more so. And, needless to say, it has as much weight as mine. (Well, conceivably anyway!😉)
I'm australian and technically the king is our head of state, are they saying that I don't qualify to have my opinion about the monarchy because I wasn't born in brittain?
@@danielwebb8402 As with many younger australians we don't want the monarchy as our head of state.
@@danielwebb8402 I wouldn't care to venture an opinion about the level of taxation in Mexico because I know precious little about it.
Whereas if you, on the other hand, have degrees in politics and international relations then I'd imagine that you probably ARE better informed about Trump and his policies than many Americans. In fact, it's quite possible that you know a good deal more than the majority of them.
If studies are to be believed, the level of ignorance amongst voters in most (all?) countries in the English speaking world is pretty woeful, so an interested outside observer is likely to be far better informed than an uninterested (or misinformed) resident. The mere fact that in America, to choose one country out of many, is split fairly evenly down the middle in terms of political opinion, means that for every resident who is "right" there must be another resident who is "wrong". Your opinion, assuming you are interested and informed, is at least as valid as anybody else's, no matter where you, or they, happen to come from.
I looove these types of videos and it's great to have more insight into various aspects of your life! I am a sucker for videos like this but I have always loved the more personal oldschool CZcams sit-down-and-hang-out videos. Now you just have to break this up into little shorts and multi-post it for the kids x.x
I adore your content Evan, I feel like you've been coming into your own so much and it's been awesome to see the journey and also that you have so much more in store!
I'm surprised assumption videos don't get high ratings - they're one of my favorites to watch.
I can't watch them, they are too cringy, just here for the comments.
Can't wait for the London video next week I am hoping to visit London next year and it'll be great to have a little cheat sheet to give me a heads up on some areas in the really big city that is London.
Yes, search engine proficiency should be taught! Can find the answer to pretty much any question somewhere, or a tutorial for something.
Looking forward to the new prints!
this was fun to watch, very chill and the format remind me of old youtube days with the q&as
I STRONGLY recommend that you try any OTHER language than Spanish when interacting with Portuguese people! Especially for the older generation that is a sure way to ensure they will be as unpleasant to you as possible! Don’t say you haven’t been warned. Also FYI: most people in Portugal that have been born from 1940 through 2000 have learned in school : French, English and sometimes a third language, often German. NEVER Spanish! Finally, Portugal is one of the European countries with the highest English proficiency, so stick with Obrigado and “fala ingles?” And you will be golden!I could go on, but hopefully you will get the gist of it: DO NOT SPEAK SPANISH IN PORTUGAL.
I thought the same but so many people in Madeira I would say I speak English and Spanish and they’d look relieved and converse with me in Spanish.
Whereas in mainland Portugal if you use Spanish you’ll be shot pointblank 😂
@@evan I found in the Azores that German was useless and Spanish and French helpful as lots of folk just didn't speak English proficiently enough to feel confident conversing with three Scots! Everyone wanted French or Spanish as a lingua de franca not. So I would say I would agree. English Was kind of if I have to but please don't make me. We actually googled French and my parents used their very rusty French. And I kept using godawful Spanish. And it went better than English with literally everyone we spoke to so yeah, I agree. Also I did eventually meet someone who knew German but only shipping terms 😂
@@niallblack2794 I speak english fluently but even then I find the thought of conversing with scots intimidating 😅
I'd say that when a person first states that they do not know portuguese and then asks the portuguese person if they can understand spanish, it's perfectly fine and no one gets mad. What might piss some potuguese people off is speaking to them in spanish off the bat, assuming that they'll understand you - which they will, because the languages are so similar (and there's a lot of contact), but it'll make them feel like you're treating Portugal as a part of Spain and THAT will definitely not sit right with them (as a result of the whole history of Portugal).
And as others have stated, there's plenty of people in this country that do not at all understand english, so any spanish is welcome - being able to communicate is the whole point of a conversation after all.
Your long hair is so lovely. I'm low-key jealous. :) This video made me giggle, especially the last comment about maths vs sport, so thanks!
Agree on the study abroad thing (this was how I met my Californian fiancee 7 years ago when he studied abroad in New Zealand!). We have been living in NZ for almost three years now, but it was only once we bought a house a couple of months back that a lot of our U.S. friends went "Oh, so you're definitely staying in New Zealand?" In my experience, most Americans assume that you are going to, come back to the U.S. to live permanently at some point. But that could be shaped by my fiancee coming from a more rural/conservative area where people tend not to go very far afield. I have also noticed this with people living in more cosmopolitan cities like LA, though.
Evan just think about this, 2 slices of toast, buttered, a thick ayer of xxstrong Cheddar cheese on both slices, splash with Worcester sauce, grilled until slightly brown and burned slightly crisp put beans thickly on one slice. Y 😂YNow cover the beans with the grilled cheese side of the other slice and you have the perfect beans sandwich. Now slice in half and try not to get beans down your shirt. A quick meal and a trial all in one with drama thrown in, can’t beat that. Brand new sandwich on your show Hoozah!!!
Love your chats always have done it's how we have watched you grow.
love these types of videos, keep them up!
I have to admit I love when you do these kinds of videos. You're an interesting character...sending much love...
I like these types of videos Evan. :) I find them interesting and fun. Hope you're getting in some rest!
Hey Evan, I've watched a fair amount of your videos over the years. Just wanted to say you seem like a really good person and I think you deserve to know. 😊 thanks for keeping me entertained !
Evan this was so fun, thank you for sharing a bit more of your personality.
I enjoyed this and I watched it all the way through xx
I have to say I actually fully gasped when I saw your photography print at 12:48 that is so stunning
I must comment, because you mentioned how the platform wants you to do a certain type of video. However it is these types of sit down and talk about random things and answering questions are my favorite videos from you. It is why I subscribed years ago and still watch your videos today.
Haven't watched you in a while, omg I'm loving that hair! ❤️❤️🥰
Love this type of content !
Can't wait for those prints!
For me reading is hard, but I do really enjoy articles rather then books even though I've had great experiences reading I can't follow a book I forget everything and have to re-read it constantly but articles are much easier to follow
Maybe anthologies are your genre then
Never had the opportinity to do this, so even if this might feel somewhat immature here it is: FIRST!
Third
second actually
@@rulnaesafo7936 No, they were the third person to comment if you sort by newest.
I can’t watch anymore Evan the beans on toast is the last straw 😂
This was a really fun video to watch! I thought it was fun to hear all these random Evan facts
I love these personal type videos. It's really refreshing not to have any over the top stuff or drama: it's just you being a really funny awesome human being
7:20 Heyy glad you showed my assumption haha❤ great video again, Evan😊
I hated reading as a kid because I wasn’t a very good reader! I went to school in French and struggled to read in both languages until high school. Even now I have a hard time visualizing things (aphantasia) and so I don’t like reading fiction very much. Maybe that helps understand why some people hate reading! :)
Evan, your incredible passion for such minor things is an inspiration to us all.
Ive watched your content for years now and its been nice to see you on your journey to different places i really liked the leaving Chiswick video you did, it made me understand you have fond memories of Chiswick and your friends there.
I am fond of travel myself on the train and on a electric bicycle.
Do you have any plans to climb any mountains in different countries in the future? My assumption is that you are a explorer as well as enjoying travelling.
Beans on toast is really not as gross as people make out, its just a vegtable in a tomato sauce and some toast, its simple. People like to make it out to be so gross but idk its like the british equivalent of something like kraft mac an cheese, not exactly fine dining but if you're hungry and can't be bothered to make real food its surprisingly decent.
I am already assuming this is a great video within the first five seconds of the video and I clicked LIKE😅
I have no idea how you do not get bored ! I get so bored all the time haha
I really didnt expect us to be so similar! My childhood room was the same controlled chaos and if someone cleaned it while I was out, I was lost for days. Suddenly all my stuff were in the weirdest places or even worse, thrown away! And within a week, tops, Ive had created the chaos again. Some brains just work different, the chaos nourishes us, I guess.
Hey Evan. I just wanted to remind you to not forget to keep up the duolingo!! I followed yesterday on it and just want to remind u :)
Great video!
I’m a Brazilian-American who’s been living in Austin Texas for the past 21 years and I have no regrets ! It’s my life ! Love yours in the UK . Claudia , Austin Texas .
Good to know you’re not leaving anytime soon Evan
My assumption is: Even though I was born in, have grown up in and still continue to live in London... I will never actually bump into Evan. What makes that worse is there are so many men in London that look like Evan. And I can't go tryna chat to all of them for verification purposes.
I enjoy ALL your videos. Smart and funny are hard to come by in the ‘sticks” of northern Virginia.💕
Evan and I have such a similar mentality on the way we view life and living its creepy but also explains the comfort I feel at watching his videos
Don’t put yourself down Evan . I find it interesting just listening to your point of view whether I agree with your point of view or not . Did you learn Java script ?
You can always teach yourself basic sewing, for when you have a hole or make shorts out of jeans. Takes longer than a sewing machine but my mum taught me some basic sewing techniques, and a practiced by sewing on my brownie badges to my sash (I had the nineties uniform)
Wow, I guess I know now why I like watching your videos. Almost every single answer you gave was exactly the same as I would've had people been saying the same about me.
no matter what in the end you're gunna end up 6 feet under. Your day can be productive so long as you've enjoyed what you've done for the day, regardless of what you do. I often still feel productive when I play video games because of the enjoyment I get from them. Not much different from reading a book imo except you interact with it which also (depending on the game) can help improve other mental capacities such as problem solving, creativity, memory, and reflexes plus a few more i probably haven't mentioned.
I love watching more personal videos as well. I guess they are a bit easier for you to prepare an d edit. You need the break. You are interesting as you🎉
Now you can "tolerate" Beans on Toast, you need to add an egg. Fried egg on Beans on Toast is divine! There's something about the fatty yolk and the tomatoey sauce that is just MWAH! When my husband was a student many years ago, apparently he used to break the egg into the beans whilst they were heating and got a whole different texture to the beans! That's students for you!
That thing about alwayd correcting people. I was like that as a child, but had it literally beaten out of me by the other kids. Thankfully, my friend group now would, like me, rather be corrected than have their feelings spared .
Evan I find pretty much everything you put on YT interesting, wether it be content or a chat to camera. Would seem the algorithm is not the brightest thing on YT😊.
correct me if you've already done this i forgot, but you would love studying formal linguistics, evan! i went into college as a math major and spanish minor and ended majoring in linguistics because it is just the perfect blend of math and language!
Lovely video. Kaiser Evan 👑
I'm from NJ, but we called it Gifted & Talented, so G&T. 😅😂
I find it weird how its allowed to have an opinion about a foriegn government from your own home, but its somehow suddenly not ok after you move there??? like especially in the case of you and moving to the uk. the uk government definitley has flaws, as someone who also lives here but also grew up here however i dont see that as much of a positive lmao, i think that everyone is allowed an opinion on anything, especially when being critical about how things are run IN A VOTED IN BY THE PEOPLE government. I think being critical is allways a good thing and people who are trying to invalidate your critisisms just means their brains arent wrinkly enough to form an opinion of their own and probably want essentially to just follow along with the crowd (not that thats allways a bad thing)
Only discovered you today. I assume you absolutely know what you're doing, and that you want to do it in London.
Good luck with that :)
Indeed, Respect Wood. 😂👏 ✨
I have watch most of your videos, UK vs US and so have many other you tuber's, if i have one assumption, roled in to one,
is great content, accurate as it can be, alot of work and research goes into you videos, OK, they may be slight differences from the time it was made to a few months or a year on, your pretty accurate, and i have been here in UK 57 years, i have lived oxford, sunderland, isle of whight, poole, bournemouth, London and few months in birmingham, so i have pretty goos grasp, of regions, your content also helps americans, who want to know about our great culture, and the best country in the world
On the note about books, I used to love books but highschool beat it out of me and now I can't read more than half a page of a book without getting a really bad headache - glasses or no glasses. I just don't have an attention span for books, but I can listen to an audio book for 5+ hours or play my violin and read music for 5+ hours. But I can't read a book for leasure...
My assumption is that I wasn't going to hear the term onion jizz in the video! It made me laugh and cringe at the same time.
In our town, we had a pullout program for gifted students called "Academically Able", aka AA. Which is kind of awkward, as it's also the abbreviation for "Alcoholics Anonymous".
OMGOSH my comment is in this video!!! The very first one!!! This has literally never happened to me before so I'm surprised & excited?
Try adding brown sauce to your beans.
I would've assumed you could do juggling because you remind me SOOOO much of my best friend, and he did a lot of jugling and circus stuff when he was young
Finding out you love Donald glover has to be the highlight of this vid for me😂
In response to BelleetlaBete, most British people don't like the way Britain is run and yet we choose to live here. Evan fits right in :)
Holy moley I never thought to try to wiggle my ears independently! It took a bit of concentration but I can wiggle them both separately! Thanks for giving me the jdea!
Hahaha glad to be of service
Asked to be grateful for the English monarchy is dystopian
Your videos are wholesome, inspiring and genuine. Never any expectations, just glad to hear your thoughts on stuffs.
Plus with the travel side, I'll assume its arisen due to one leaving the US and realising how much more is out there? Or , not being able to travel much abroad as a kid...But thanks to you am heading abroad this year !
My guess about stand up: Nailed It!!!
My guess about juggling: Doh!!!
Can’t beat spaghetti hoops on toast! 😅
Okay so you were the one that sparked my curiosity to learn a language because it's an interesting thing and I did initially plan on learning Spanish because my mum and step dad moved to Spain to live there in 2020 (yes literally in the middle of the pandemic) but then my relationship with my mother broke down and has become very strained so because I am a petty b**** I decided to learn any other language that wasn't Spanish. If things begin to repair and improve with my mother and I, I may consider learning Spanish for if I ever go over to visit her but for now I am gonna stay petty.
Evan my room was the same. It was a mess but an organised mess. Plus I too had my computer very organised with everything in folders.
Middle class East Coast American here. Studying abroad while at uni was 100% normal and par for the course when I did it (very early aughts).
Love your opinions on the royal family 👍🇬🇧🇪🇺
The "you're not from here so you don't get to have an opinion" really resonates with me. Moving to the UK and not being able to vote in general elections purely because I don't have a UK passport is ludicrous. A person can live here and pay their taxes, and yet they can't have a say in how the country they live in is run? The devolved assemblies don't seem to have an issue with this, it's just good ol' Westminster
I mean it's dodie, she's amazing. Jokes aside, I despise the view that people of different genders can't just be friends, and it always seemed so obvious that you two were just friends.
Can you please make some more UK / US price comparison videos, whether it's food, internet, cell phone costs etc.
Evan! If you love to teach yourself funny tricks ypu absolutely need to train yourself to stop hiccups at will! Sounds crazy but it's possible and not only is it a good party trick, it is actually useful. My friend's brother taught her and she taught me and a couple other friends and now almost our whole friend group can do it.
i cannot describe how shocked i am that you're not secretly an amazing juggler
Not yet
I like how he did end up correcting his friend of a friend but in this video and not in the moment
Hehe! I look forward to you having a kid, it's gonna rock your world so much. First thing one have to do is littery just let go... 😊
I used to really like reading but I can't really tolerate doing it anymore. Still love books though so I listen to many, many audiobooks.
