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.

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

When Kobe Bryant said his insane level of confidence came from knowing he’d done all he could to prepare, it taught me that anytime I’m nervous it means I didn’t prepare enough.

@dangambardello They killed Jesus, brother

We can endure reading/dealing with negativity.

It’s not easy, but nothing worth having is.

Raising children isn’t easy

Marriage isn’t easy

Crypto isn’t easy, but crypto pales in comparison to the aforementioned

Keep going, Dan. God bless

Skenes Night: He’s due. So here’s the deal. If Paul strikes out 9 or more. Like he did the last time he faced the Dodgers. And the Buccos win. I’ll give away 5 Paul Skenes jerseys. Just follow me. And retweet this post. And you’re good. Let’s go Bucs!

@barryaustin434 @Alex_Kozora *on him being ineligible

[Tristan Strother @StrottyT]

@barryaustin434 @Alex_Kozora And my argument on Pete rose is the same. It’s bullshit. Everybody knows it. Even the MLB. They lifted the ban on him being eligible for the hall of fame after he died.

[Tristan Strother @StrottyT]

@Steelergirl1215 @Alex_Kozora I’m speaking from the judge’s perspective. Not from the CFB perspective. The guy shouldn’t be slandered like he’s Terry Rozier because he’s far from that

The best time to acquire bitcoin is when normies are convinced that it's 'dead', crypto bros are crying all over the timeline, and nocoiners are gloating, dunking on it, and talking about how it will never hit another all time high.

Do with this what you will.

I really don’t understand the hate Jaxon Dart got for introducing President Trump. Good or bad..if you support Trump or not..you're in a lose lose situation. Politics and religion are difficult for sports. Folks have the right to believe in whatever the fuck they want.

I don't know..I just live by a code..As long as it's not interfering with my shit..do whatever you want because you've got to take whatever you're on up with God. I'm too much of a sinner to be judgmental and political.
