The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America!
The greatest country on earth.
you only get:
1 summer with them as a baby
3 as a toddler
5 as a child
3 as a preteen
6 as a teen
so let them run barefoot,
turn on the sprinkler,
cut up the watermelon,
chase fireflies under fading golden skies
because the summers of sticky hands, sun tired kids, and slow evenings filled with the sounds of childhood
do not last forever 🤍
Gonna start making an injury report for the fellas before nights out like
Sam - out (vacation)
Pete - doubtful (wife’s mad)
Chris - probable (working late)
Tommy - active (back injury)
Mike - out (scared)
You get the idea
Parenting life hack: Does your son refuse to eat the food you cook for him? Does he know what push-ups are? Does he want to see you suffer at his hands? Make him an offer he can’t refuse: Every bite he takes is 10 push-ups that you have to do
@TheFFBallers@JasonMoore@AndyHolloway@FFHitman catching up on older episodes where you discussed how the Panthers shouldn’t have been in the playoffs. As a fan for 23 years, I get it. But I think they deserve some flowers on the next episode. Love the podcast. Cheers!
Panthers lose but man, Bryce Young just went dart for dart with Matt Stafford in a playoff game. A roster that’s in Year 2 of a build was 2 minutes from the Divisional Round.
And the Bank? It’s back. #Panthers
JUST IN: Tim Tebow shows horrific map of New York showing every location a person has downloaded CP over the past month, calls for more funding for law enforcement.
"This year, somewhere between 300k to a million people will be trafficked in the US."
"When you defund [the police], you're not actually caring for these boys and girls."
"We are the number one buyer of [CP] for boys and girls around the world. America is."
"In peer-to-peer sharing of this information, we're third worst in the world."
"On our hearts is to get this message out to be able to make a change and support our law enforcement and task forces that are working on this."
"There are some freaking heroes that are fighting us every single day."
God bless him.
Easily this, no doubt in my mind. I was in middle school and had picked this team to follow because they were the worst team in the N64 classic, NFL Blitz. Then they end up doing this and making me a fan for life
