Let me explain why I think Freddy resonates.
Lots of Europeans visit the USA as tourists. They visit New York City, or Washington DC, or Hollywood, or Las Vegas, and if they visit natural beauty too, they go to really crowded places like the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone.
So while they see our cultural and natural icons, they are mostly in blue cities and they therefore also see the decline, the homeless, the drugs, the dirt and the rude, rude Americans.
But Freddy is not doing that. Freddy is driving, and he’s doing it through the heartland, where people are kind and polite, the skies are wide open, and the bounty of Buc-ees and Bass Pro Shops are overwhelming.
Freddy is not seeing fentanyl and decline.
He is seeing the real, hopeful, patriotic, kind America that European tourists rarely traverse.
And he loves it.
That’s why Freddy is a phenomenon.

Detroit Lions HC Dan Campbell - Meeting Structure
- "First of all I know this, you can give them deadhead if you're not careful, so hit them in spurts. You give them 20 minutes, hit them on what you need to hit them on & get them out for a couple minutes, bring them back & keep going."
- "It needs to be interactive, ultimately we're teachers. We're teachers in football, so how do you communicate & articulate what you're trying to get across to those players. Don't make it more complex than it needs to be, keep it simple where they can play fast, know what to do & make it interactive, make it fun."
All of America watching Euros rave about Waffle House, Chilis apps, buying Combos at a rural gas station, floating the Chattahoochee, and ranch dressing on the internet:
When I was a kid I was so confused how Chick Hicks could be tied for the season points with Lightning and King despite only coming in second every single race
Then you watch NASCAR and you immediately understand the dynamic lol
One of the most important deleted scenes in Star Wars history. 🔥
Jocasta Nu explaining Count Dooku's past to Obi-Wan adds so much depth to his character long before the fall of the Republic.
Well it’s official. I have been officially offered and board approved by Meeker and I have accepted the position of HS assistant baseball & football.

#KUBaseball's Dan Fitzgerald gets choked up reflecting on this season with the Jayhawks:
"...This was a wild one and one I'm incredibly grateful for, you just don't want it to end."
