Thanks for joining me on this journey everyone. It was such an amazing week and I made so many memories I will never forget. I’m sure I will be back across the pond soon to make more videos and memories. Thanks for all the support on these videos and the rapid growth of my channel. It means more than the world. Gonna take a break from UA-cam for a few days so I’ll see you all when I get back.
Lads, at your age a week was right as you weren't sure what you were going to see or do. Now you know make sure your next visit here is longer. I hope you'll fit Nottingham into your schedule as Robin Hood will want to show you around our great city and up to Sherwood forest. 😂
Enjoy the break after all that editing! Would love a vid from you and Will on your reflections of the trip if you were interested in doing that, sounds like you had a great time overall (and hopefully you were totally put off Scotland and would be up for a repeat visit, maybe Radio Forth and Radio Clyde could try and equal the excellent hospitality YO1 showed you!)
Seems you had a great time, I enjoyed watching your videos! One suggestion: Please could you do ONE more video of you and Will chatting about your week in the UK, reminiscing about what you liked/disliked/surprised you etc etc? (Please thumbs up this comment if you'd like to see it too!)
You and Will are such humble, polite and intelligent young men. Most men your age do not have such great heads on their shoulders. Your parents should be very proud. As should you. You did America proud 👏. I truly hope you visit again sometime. Hopefully for longer so you can have some more chill time in between. 🥰
Someone out there make these guys honorary English men. They have done so much for the tourism etc of this country & represented their own country so well. Top job fellas 😃
@@lyndaodell3619 It's the way Americans do it, for some reason. They'll cut it up like us (normally), then put down the knife and swap hands with the fork, then use the fork like a spoon. So when they come to doing it like us in the UK, it looks all cack-handed.
You are now an honorary Brit. 🇬🇧🇺🇸So good to watch you enjoying the UK. Loads more to see here and lots of more incredible history to explore. Forever connected with our cousins across the pond 👍🤝
I do find it funny, as a child had I used a knife and fork like the Americans do I would have got such a slap on the hands, my older brother did try in once in front of our Grandmother and my dad made him eat his Sunday lunch on the floor next to the dog bowl.
@@marycarver1542 Not strictly true though is it? There's plenty of food that "Europeans" don't use cutlery for. For example, a bread appetiser in restaurants is normally broken by hand and dipped, in say, olive oil/balsamic vinegar. Pizzas are nornally eaten by hand. Plenty of finger food is eaten by hand. Burgers, Kebabs, Fried chicken etc . The list is extensive. What I do find funny/strange is how many Americans use cutlery. It's sometimes like watching a child first learning how to use them.
I searched and searched until l found someone that mentioned that 🤣 Everyone else was wearing a T Shirt. Obviously not all Scots were mean 😄 Loved every minute if these vids. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations Joel and Will, you survived and thrived and entertained us along the way. There's a vast World out there for you to discover but we are all hoping this will be the first of a series of visits here
So now you know it doesn't rain every day and our food is fab. Go tell the US the good news. Glad you had an amazing week. Hope to see your adventures in Wales next time.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels sad that we've come to the end of this awesome travel series. After watching this it feels like I did as a kid when I knew it was the last day of the holidays and school was starting the next day :( I guess we still have the extended version to look forward to on Patreon though :) That radio presenter on YO1 was hilarious :P Awesome journey, awesome vlogs... have enjoyed watching every minute. Hopefully next time Mac and Cameron will be able to join you and Will and all go have an adventure together somewhere. I see a travel series in the making! Well done Joel & Will 👍👍👍
I miss Anthony Bourdain. His genuine and insightful commentary on people, travel and cultures were inspiring. Maybe Joel and Will could grow into that space?
I know there's differences between the US & UK when it comes to food, but who knew they have a completely different technique with knives & forks 😂 Orange 'mash' = Rutabaga in American.
@@antonyberry1632 It's because the American way to use them is to put the fork in the Left and right with the knife as we do to cut. Then they put the knife down and switch the fork to their right hand and eat the food. Well that's how it's supposed to work, but rather than do it, most seem to ditch using the knife and just try and cut cut etc with the fork in the right hand. Someone really needs to show them the British or European way, it makes way more sense
Oh Joel So pleased you enjoyed visiting us. It looks as if you had a blast! It’s been a privilege watching your journey around the UK. To see the joy on your face when seeing the views around you and trying the foods you’ve been longing to try! I’ve loved watching you. I think you accomplished so much in your short time. Hope it’s not to long before we see you back on our shores again. See you soon in your home town Joel. Thanks for the brilliant vlogs. 😁👍😉
Joel, as a 66 year old I have been watching your videos and have regained my youth and wonder at my beautiful country. I am situated in the East Midlands not far from Nottinghamshire but if you come over again I hope you will take in the Northumbrian coast. The people are very welcoming and you can visit Hadrians Wall and the Farne Islands to name but a few!
@@peteregan7864 It looks like a 'love bite' ( as we called them when I was young)on his neck. It may not be, but i'm fairly sure that is what Ricky was referring to.
Never will I tire of watching these videos, its sheer enjoyment, no bad language, manners, actions and from young fellas too its is quite miraculous! Talking manners though, maybe watch how we use our cutlery, don't fold your meat up like you are building a tower, use your knife to cut the meat and add to same what is on plate. Keep yorkshire pud on plate when it is with a meal and again add the food surrounding it to a piece of the yorkshire you have cut off! The holding in the hand bit is done when a yorkshire is sold 'on the street'! All your meals looked fab, especially the fish and chips with the exception that in the North West of England the fish would be cod not haddock. Mushy peas?? Oh these are a definite, lol, spread on slice of bread and butter with a couple of chips - bliss !! Come back soon boys and at some point make sure you visit an indoor northern food market - brilliant!
It's interesting watching you guys eating and struggling with a knife, I'm an Englishman living in the USA and I can't say I've seen the people here not using a knife and fork together when eating, they might be using them the opposite way around to the British, but they are using both to eat. maybe not using a knife is a young people thing since I'm in my sixties I can't say!! I'm pleased you had a good time in Britain, I used to live about 40 miles north of York so it's nice seeing the place again.
I have enjoyed seeing every minute of your trip to U.K. you are two lovely young men. Will was brilliant on the camera and Joel you are brilliant on the radio
Ha ha, as an australian, watching you eat a meal like that with your fork in your right hand was triggering :) Thanks very much for you videos. Brought back lots of memories. Looking forward to my next trip to the UK. I'm sure people told you, but I was shocked how dry everything looked. It is usually far greener and more beautiful. I think you'll be surprised next time you go back how different it looks.
You've got to hit Liverpool, home of the beatles, unbelievable architecture, super friendly people, night life second to none, right on a river. You would love it.
You packed such a lot into your week, and shout out to your amazing cameraman, Will! York is a wonderful city and easy to get around, glad you enjoyed your time with the radio station, and it was good of them to show you the sights and tell you about the history. Those open top buses with commentary run in most major towns and cities and are a good way of getting an overview of the major places of interest in a short space of time. PS I wonder how much Cadbury chocolate did you pack to bring home? 😄
Hay guys Sweed and pigs in blankets were also on your meal,pigs in blankets are the sausages wrapped in bacon, glad you enjoyed it. Next time come to Wales.....you missed out this time, any way take care.
heyas Joel and Will and this week's prize for stuffing your face goes to Joel and runner up is Will for his whole roastie and slice of beef in one go!!! Next time you visit enjoy more tourist London so you can appreciate everything the UK has on offer. Cheers DougT
Yay,,,, you made Yorkshire pudding boats.! The only way to do it!!!! It’s like human instinct.😁👍 glad you had a great time on this side of the pond. Lancashire Uk 🇬🇧
Joel please come back but have a safe journey home, it’s a real pleasure to watch your vlogs. You are one hell of a nice guy, natural and honest about stuff. Be safe at home and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Take great care. 🙏👍
Thank you for your positive comments on our beautiful country its been a pleasure to have you and I hope you come again and go to Cornwall and Devon if you do .
I hope that the trip was everything you both wanted it to be and more. It was certainly nice to see you have the chance to experience some of the things you previously watched. Hopefully you can make it back soon for at least a couple of weeks.
Such a shame to have concentrated on so many cities, and not to have gone that little bit further North to the amazing scenery and mountains of Scotland !
Scabby Arse FM, I had forgotten about that! It is funny that both Joel, and Ethan and Angie, the Midwest Americans, the two great current "reactors" to UK content, both hit York at about the same time. Both equally wonderful in their own way. These videos just radiate joy. What a world it would be if we could all learn to share and enjoy each other's culture.
@@SoulDamnFunky All three are very likeable, and Ethan really rocks his "Peaky Blinders" haircut. Goodness only knows how that will go down in the Midwest though!
@@simonjones7727 they really are likable. I've become very fond of all of them, and so excited that they have come over. It's very different content to what I usually watch which is actually a nice change.
@@simonjones7727 Hello...I've been watching the Midwest Americans vid's as well, the current one dropped yesterday is in York, as for the haircut it will certainly stand out in Kansas; lol.....Keep The Faith
You're not bad for a Yank!! I mean that sincerely as an English Scotsman, bit of Welsh and Irish, dutch and French thrown in!! Joel, you are a natural, how did you get that radio spot??
As an Englishman, I’ve really enjoyed watching you and Will experience and enjoy my country (and Scotland). I’m glad you had such a great time here and will be back in the not to distant future. The guys from YO1 Radio really looked after you, which was great to see and they made you very welcome. Before your U.K. visit Joel, I have to admit to only watching your vlogs intermittently, but when I heard that you were coming to the U.K., I wanted to see if it met with your expectations. Now your visit has come to an end, it seems to have exceeded them. Come for two weeks next time and see so much more. I feel as if I’ve really got to know you so much better and both you and Will come across as thoroughly nice guys who also happen to be incredibly polite. Your parents must be very proud.
Great way to end, that Sunday Roast looked great, and well done to YO1 radio for looking after the boys. I think you can some more videos out of the trip though, if you and Will reflect on what you noticed about differences between the UK and US, perhaps weather, trains, shops, pubs, night clubs and the people you met, all those different accents. Talk about them and illustrate with clips where you can. Well done and come back soon.
Joel and Will are, despite their young age, the best mannered US Americans I have seen on UA-cam. Whilst their visit to the UK was too short they took in parts of our islands that few American visitors have experienced. Whilst there is much more of the British Isles and Eire to explore, given their limited vacation time and expensive air fares their next trip should be to anywhere else in Europe; France, Germany, Italy etc. Living in Southern England it is common to drive, via Eurotunnel or ferries, for a fortnight vacation, day trip or long weekend in Europe. Some of us even frequently vacation in America or occasionally spend a fun weekend Christmas shopping in New York in December.
Loved my visit to York. My late partner was a Yorkshire man he was going to take me back to show me his York. Sadly that never happened. Glad you enjoyed York and the UK. Lived watching your Vlogs
I would so love to see a vid of you both learning to actual use cutlery lol. I worked in the US for a few summers so know its not just you 2. Attacking a Sunday Roast like 2 cavemen sends shivers down my spine lol. Glad you liked it though, there really is nothing better. Hope to see you over here again very soon
Yeah what Americans call bandaids we call plasters. It's a shame you didn't check out Wales & Ireland too, you would love it in these places too. But glad you had an awesome time tho Joel. 👌
I just watched all your UK vids in one sitting. Australian here, with UK ancestors. My grandmother was a first gen Aus. Loved all the vids. I should have commented on each separate one. I get my UK fix watching Escape To The Country on TV UA-cam. We get so much great British TV here and eat similar food. Oh the Sunday roast my grandmother, my mother and I still cook sometimes. Might the vids again😊
Great content Joel, stumbled on channel by mistake, short but packed with interesting clips, you appear mature beyond your years, your parents must be so proud, if half Americans are like you then the world is a better place, I have scrolled through some of your old content, it's on point, off the charts, look forward to future vlogs take care safe flight to 🇺🇸 USA from Stansted.
Loved what your mum said in the email. Loved the phil Collins song 'take me home' i bet your family are glad you are home. Take care and come back in the near future 👍🍺🇬🇧🙏
So chuffed you’ve enjoyed your trip to the UK 🇬🇧 😊 Am especially glad you enjoyed York , including your Sunday lunch ( and Yorker pud wrap 🤗) . Hope you and Will got home safe. Take care lovely boy !!!
I am really glad that you had a great time in the UK. Hopefully you will come again. It has been fun watching your travels and your reaction to the encounters you have had.
You've been an amazing host/presenter along with cameraman Will these past few days - I've thoroughly enjoyed every minute - Great Stuff. Hope your hotel is comfortable and that your journey back home goes smoothly. See you on the other side of the pond .... Take care boys.
Hopefully next time you can bring your brother and when you are back home can finely tell your fellow American's are food is not as bad as they think. Safe journey home and don't forget to fill your suitcase with goodies to share back home with friends and family 😂
Damn this the most British non British individual I’ve ever seen, as a fellow American turned Brit its beautiful to see, give this man a citizenship right now
What a great last vlog from your week in the UK. York is beautiful as are the Yorkshire folk. Thanks to Will on "steady cam". He did a great job and stayed chilled throughout. Glad you enjoyed your visit!
It was great to experience Britain through your eyes, the laughs, the pleasure, and also the disappointments. You come across as two lovely guys who look with wonder and delight at all these new experiences, it was a pleasure to watch, and I looked forward to all your updates but now there is nothing to look forward to. 😪 Take care, and come back soon, there is so much more for you to see 👍😎
WELL DONE YOUNG JOEL & WILL, I'm glad you both had a blast, the joy just shines from your faces.. Lots seen, but so much more to see next time eh! Lovin' the posts, as always, it would be interesting to see what you took back home with you and your Lil Bro's reaction to your 'haul'.. Best wishes from Wales :D
i'm an old guy in UK, When as a lad i visited Yorkshire, my aunt was a Yorkshire 'lass' when i visited he for Sunday lunch, , the true Yorkshire pudding was always flat and served with gravy, and served first, before the roast meal, i asked why, she told me that it was to 'fill you up' before the roast part, as meat was expensive then, so you didn't need much meat, as the Yorkshire pudding filled you up.
In my 9 years stationed there I managed visit every one .... The most beautiful setting is Salisbury Cathedral. Each one has so much History but Canterbury takes the prize for that!
Lincoln Cathedral is amazing. With it's long-since-gone central tower it was the world's tallest building for over 200 years and it was the first building to be taller than the pyramids in Egypt. Stunning building.
this is why we brits eat always holding knife and fork in both hands at all times ,so we can easily mix and mash food items together, i think u did react to a video of americans vs british etiquette using cutlery before
Yes the word(s) for what Americans call bandaids is very different. Sticking plaster is the full expression, though most just shorten it to a ‘plaster.’ By the way, the big ‘pocket’ in the Yorkshire pudding is for pouring in gravy. I’m glad you had a good time, come back again soon 😉
So glad you got to visit my home town l love York so much I moved here from London 5 years ago and never regretted it it's the most beautiful city I know So happy you had a good trip around the UK and safe trip back hone
I think this series will be life changing for you, as you say. There is a great career in the media ahead of you if you choose to find it. You are a natural, and deserve great success. It’s been such a pleasure to see you over here enjoying your experiences. A huge shout out to Will for the camera work. I feel sure you will both be friends for life. Thank you so much for visiting our country. I think you’ve been impressed, but surely not as much as we have been impressed by you.
Glad you enjoyed your first trip to the UK Joel. You crammed an awful lot in ...a real whirlwind tour..and yet you only scratched the surface really. As you no doubt realise, although the UK may seem pretty small compared to the US it is bigger than you might think, extremely diverse both culturally and geographically. Hope you will want to come back again and visit some other regions, perhaps at a more leisurely pace next time.. Safe journey back to the States.
On behalf of UK its been a delight to 'host' you and your chum - try and get down south next time (coastal?) - so much more to see and do on these tine Islands of ours which make up UK - have a safe trip home.
This was great! After your experiences in Scotland, I'm so pleased your trip ended on a high note. Shout out to YO1 and the people of York for making you boys so welcome. As a rule, we don't tend to use our hands when eating Sunday dinner (unless you're mopping up the left-over gravy on your plate with a slice of bread), but a good host will always make exceptions for a guest! Your roast looked really good, and it's great that you both enjoyed it - Our cuisine doesn't deserve the poor reputation it often has abroad... Wishing you a safe and uneventful journey home. Many thanks, Joel and Wil. :)
We dont "tend" to use our hands for eating at all, unless it is a sandwich" I watched them eat, with open mouth, mine that is, at how awkwardly they deal with food !
@@marycarver1542 Are you expecting me to believe you eat fresh fruit, chocolate bars, a bag of chips, and biscuits, etc. with a knife and fork? Whilst I agree, the American way of using cutlery looks clumsy and inefficient, if that's their way, then it's their way. Remember our own way of using tableware grew out of simple snobbery, with the noble houses of Britain and Europe attempting to outdo each other in attempts to appear more cultured and refined. I shudder to think how you must feel watching someone use chopsticks...
@@marycarver1542 You were so shocked you literally sat there with your mouth open? Lol come on. It does look a bit awkward how they use cutlery but using hands for food isn't that odd in the UK nor in many cultures around the world. It's really not that shocking. We have burgers in Britain too, hot dogs, wraps, toast, pizza, baguettes/rolls/buns/sandwiches, fruit, naan bread alongside a curry, pasties, sausage rolls and so on that surely almost everyone eats with their hands. So you must have seen people eat with their hands loads of times 🤔
Mate, I am honestly so sad this has come to an end! 😂 Glad you guys enjoyed your last day and enjoyed the trip overall. Also hope the recovery is going well, I know it takes some time getting over the jet lag.
Amazing week Joel, thankyou so much for all of the vlogs on Patreon and youtube, you have definitely spoilt us. I'm so pleased you had an amazing time in our country and I really hope it has inspired you to come back again. Keep doing what you're doing joel. Lyd x
On your plate also was a sausage wrapped in bacon, they are called 'pigs in blankets' to my knowledge they only started doing them recently on Sunday roasts as they where usually just a Christmas dinner thing...
Somebody PLEASE teach those boys to use a knife and fork effectively. That said, I have enjoyed the open-minded and bright was you have reacted to everything and everyone. Safe journey home
Yes, Americans lost their table manners somewhere along the way….. sort of like a horse at a trough… but they’re great guys anyway, and we so appreciate their great channel!! ❤
I hope you guys enjoyed your first time in the UK as much as we enjoyed following along with your vlogs! Every single food item you tried on your trip looked outstandingly delicious, but the wrap and the dinner blew everything else out of the water! Hope your hand recovers quickly, all the best from Portugal and do start looking into visiting this amazing country as well! 😉
The mashed veg was turnips (swede/rutabaga). I suspect the thing you called a chip was a roast parsnip. Was it sweet? Also, next to your turnips was a pig in blanket. The whole meal looked delicious.
Joel what a fantastic time you have had. The Vlogs are there forever now to watch and enjoy. So glad the hospitality of York came through and you got the Sunday roast with Yorkies in my beloved Yorkshire. There are so many more beautiful parts of Yorkshire you could come back and visit and combine with other beautiful parts of the UK. Rest up and I look forward to your next post.😘🙋
Thanks for joining me on this journey everyone. It was such an amazing week and I made so many memories I will never forget. I’m sure I will be back across the pond soon to make more videos and memories. Thanks for all the support on these videos and the rapid growth of my channel. It means more than the world.

Glad the trip went well 👍. Bet you're going to miss not being able to go to the pub. 😂🍻
Next time go to the South Coast. Devon. Dorset, Hampshire. Lovely!
Seems you had a great time, I enjoyed watching your videos!
One suggestion: Please could you do ONE more video of you and Will chatting about your week in the UK, reminiscing about what you liked/disliked/surprised you etc etc?
(Please thumbs up this comment if you'd like to see it too!)
definitely
Absobloodylutely
Yeah, that would be great.
In fact - I'd even consider doing a livestream! I bet there's loads of questions us Brits have for you! (again, thumbs up if you agree!)
Yesss, would love to see that ☺
You and Will are such humble, polite and intelligent young men. Most men your age do not have such great heads on their shoulders. Your parents should be very proud. As should you. You did America proud 👏. I truly hope you visit again sometime. Hopefully for longer so you can have some more chill time in between. 🥰
GB kids at their age are a bunch of drugged up crooks.
The worse language they use the more they drink and smoke the better they think it makes them.
Someone out there make these guys honorary English men. They have done so much for the tourism etc of this country & represented their own country so well. Top job fellas 😃
not unless they learn to use a knife and fork😀
Make him the Prime Minister. He is now more in touch with Britain than Liz n Rish
Plus you know how to use a knife.
Americans attempting to use cutlery is hysterical! LMAO
I know...always looks like they're tying themselves in knots! 🤣
I know lol
They are too used to eating with their hands. Chicken, burgers and fries etc...
At least Joel made an attempt.
Why so awkward with knife and fork ?
@@lyndaodell3619 It's the way Americans do it, for some reason. They'll cut it up like us (normally), then put down the knife and swap hands with the fork, then use the fork like a spoon. So when they come to doing it like us in the UK, it looks all cack-handed.
Just wanted to say, you are both fine ambassadors of America well done. Your parents should be very proud.
Hear, hear. Their politeness and good manners shame us.
If they had taught you table manners !
That radio station looked after you so, so well.. and to gift you with food and a tour of York..you're blessed x
I thought that would give you both a radio goodie bag each
You are now an honorary Brit. 🇬🇧🇺🇸So good to watch you enjoying the UK. Loads more to see here and lots of more incredible history to explore. Forever connected with our cousins across the pond 👍🤝
Watching US types struggling with a knife and fork is always entertaining!

Never seen anyone eat a roast like that lol. With hands and just a fork. Joel looked so awkward with a knife and fork. 😂
Why didn't you put gravy on the Yorkshire pudding before eating it?
When I say that Joel DEMOLISHED that Yorkshire Pudding, it would be an understatement.
With his HAND S? Seriously, dont Americans realise that Europeans do NOT pick up their food , but use cutlery?
@@marycarver1542 They could do with a lesson in how to use a knife & fork!!
@@marycarver1542 That maybe because he is not European(!) Let him off, he can enjoy our food anyway he likes.
@@marycarver1542 Not strictly true though is it? There's plenty of food that "Europeans" don't use cutlery for.

Joel: "We did things at night ..."
Was one of the things you did at night getting that love-bite? 😆 (US translation: 'hickey')
literally about to message this 😂😂
Noticed that aswell! Ha ha 😂
I noticed the hickie too :)
hahaha saw that as well 😂
I searched and searched until l found someone that mentioned that 🤣 Everyone else was wearing a T Shirt. Obviously not all Scots were mean 😄 Loved every minute if these vids. Keep up the good work!
Congratulations Joel and Will, you survived and thrived and entertained us along the way. There's a vast World out there for you to discover but we are all hoping this will be the first of a series of visits here
So now you know it doesn't rain every day and our food is fab. Go tell the US the good news. Glad you had an amazing week. Hope to see your adventures in Wales next time.

A special mention for Will who documented all the travels with first class camera work. Great work and hope you both enjoyed our little island.
Yes agreed. Super calm head on that guys shoulders. Great job Will 👍 we appreciate you
You must've been truly knackered, that was some itinerary you had ! Stay longer next time Joel .
Please come back soon really loved your UK visit.
Can’t believe how much you’ve done in a week.
Hope you both arrived back home safe & sound.
I know there's differences between the US & UK when it comes to food, but who knew they have a completely different technique with knives & forks 😂
Orange 'mash' = Rutabaga in American.
Looked like mashed swede and carrots. Have that every Sunday with roast dinner.
I think it was prob. mashed swede
I did.
I've noticed most Americans can't use cutlery properly just seem to use a fork
@@antonyberry1632 It's because the American way to use them is to put the fork in the Left and right with the knife as we do to cut. Then they put the knife down and switch the fork to their right hand and eat the food.

Mmm...explanation required!!
@@peteregan7864 It looks like a 'love bite' ( as we called them when I was young)on his neck. It may not be, but i'm fairly sure that is what Ricky was referring to.
Maybe they are BF's
Never will I tire of watching these videos, its sheer enjoyment, no bad language, manners, actions and from young fellas too its is quite miraculous!

I'm pleased you had a good time in Britain, I used to live about 40 miles north of York so it's nice seeing the place again.
I have enjoyed seeing every minute of your trip to U.K. you are two lovely young men. Will was brilliant on the camera and Joel you are brilliant on the radio
Ha ha, as an australian, watching you eat a meal like that with your fork in your right hand was triggering :) Thanks very much for you videos. Brought back lots of memories. Looking forward to my next trip to the UK. I'm sure people told you, but I was shocked how dry everything looked. It is usually far greener and more beautiful. I think you'll be surprised next time you go back how different it looks.
American table manners are non existent it seems ! Dont bother with knives
just shove the whole thing in, or use your hands ! really disgusting.
This was taken in the middle of a massive 40 degree plus heatwave that
summer !
You've got to hit Liverpool, home of the beatles, unbelievable architecture, super friendly people, night life second to none, right on a river. You would love it.
@Ste Devo. This Yorkshireman recommended a night out there to Joel.
the Scousers are NOT friendly lad
@@anonymous99923 They always were to me, but then I have a northern accent and they did not think I was talking down to them.
Glad you got to see British food isn't trash, can finally break that American misconception
You packed such a lot into your week, and shout out to your amazing cameraman, Will! York is a wonderful city and easy to get around, glad you enjoyed your time with the radio station, and it was good of them to show you the sights and tell you about the history. Those open top buses with commentary run in most major towns and cities and are a good way of getting an overview of the major places of interest in a short space of time. PS I wonder how much Cadbury chocolate did you pack to bring home? 😄
Put table etiquette on your 'next to learn' vlog.
Hay guys
Sweed and pigs in blankets were also on your meal,pigs in blankets are the sausages wrapped in bacon, glad you enjoyed it.
Next time come to Wales.....you missed out this time, any way take care.
heyas Joel and Will and this week's prize for stuffing your face goes to Joel and runner up is Will for his whole roastie and slice of beef in one go!!! Next time you visit enjoy more tourist London so you can appreciate everything the UK has on offer. Cheers DougT
Yay,,,, you made Yorkshire pudding boats.! The only way to do it!!!! It’s like human instinct.😁👍 glad you had a great time on this side of the pond. Lancashire Uk 🇬🇧
Thanks for visiting my beautiful homeland. Safe flight home
Safe Travels Mate. Glad you enjoyed the UK. All the best 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
So glad you enjoyed york I'm a yorkshire lass and I'm proud of my roots x
God's own county! 🙂
Joel please come back but have a safe journey home, it’s a real pleasure to watch your vlogs. You are one hell of a nice guy, natural and honest about stuff. Be safe at home and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Take great care. 🙏👍
Thank you for your positive comments on our beautiful country its been a pleasure to have you and I hope you come again and go to Cornwall and Devon if you do .
I hope that the trip was everything you both wanted it to be and more. It was certainly nice to see you have the chance to experience some of the things you previously watched. Hopefully you can make it back soon for at least a couple of weeks.
Such a shame to have concentrated on so many cities, and not to have gone that
little bit further North to the amazing scenery and mountains of Scotland !
Your reaction makes me realise how lucky I’ve been to live here for over 70 years!
Great to hear you enjoyed north Yorkshire. 👏🏽
You are both such nice lads. It was great see you live your dream. I hope you can come again for a bit longer next time. Safe journey home xx
Brilliant!! Have a safe journey home boys.
A band aid is a plaster xx
Surprised receptionist didn't play the band aid song.. 🎶 🎵
For a moment I didn’t think you had got out of Scotland unharmed 😂
@Vikki B. Yes but then is it said plasster or plarster? It is like sconn or scoan for scone. I know people who say elastoplast to save a fuss.
@@alansmithee8831 depends on the dialect I guess…I’ve a really broad Yorkshire accent so plaster for me,as for Elastoplast too long!!
@@vikkib6337Aye. 'Appen.
Scabby Arse FM, I had forgotten about that! It is funny that both Joel, and Ethan and Angie, the Midwest Americans, the two great current "reactors" to UK content, both hit York at about the same time. Both equally wonderful in their own way. These videos just radiate joy. What a world it would be if we could all learn to share and enjoy each other's culture.
@Simon Jones. This Smith's comment is very similar. They have alas both gone home.
Yeah I noticed that too about both joal and the Midwest couple ended their journey in York. Just watched their video too.
@@SoulDamnFunky All three are very likeable, and Ethan really rocks his "Peaky Blinders" haircut. Goodness only knows how that will go down in the Midwest though!
@@simonjones7727 they really are likable. I've become very fond of all of them, and so excited that they have come over. It's very different content to what I usually watch which is actually a nice change.
@@simonjones7727 Hello...I've been watching the Midwest Americans vid's as well, the current one dropped yesterday is in York, as for the haircut it will certainly stand out in Kansas; lol.....Keep The Faith
You experienced the hottest day in the history of the UK with no Air Conditioning 🤣
You're not bad for a Yank!! I mean that sincerely as an English Scotsman, bit of Welsh and Irish, dutch and French thrown in!!
Joel, you are a natural, how did you get that radio spot??
Gravy on yorkshires
As an Englishman, I’ve really enjoyed watching you and Will experience and enjoy my country (and Scotland). I’m glad you had such a great time here and will be back in the not to distant future. The guys from YO1 Radio really looked after you, which was great to see and they made you very welcome. Before your U.K. visit Joel, I have to admit to only watching your vlogs intermittently, but when I heard that you were coming to the U.K., I wanted to see if it met with your expectations. Now your visit has come to an end, it seems to have exceeded them. Come for two weeks next time and see so much more. I feel as if I’ve really got to know you so much better and both you and Will come across as thoroughly nice guys who also happen to be incredibly polite. Your parents must be very proud.
Great way to end, that Sunday Roast looked great, and well done to YO1 radio for looking after the boys. I think you can some more videos out of the trip though, if you and Will reflect on what you noticed about differences between the UK and US, perhaps weather, trains, shops, pubs, night clubs and the people you met, all those different accents. Talk about them and illustrate with clips where you can. Well done and come back soon.
Joel and Will are, despite their young age, the best mannered US Americans I have seen on UA-cam. Whilst their visit to the UK was too short they took in parts of our islands that few American visitors have experienced.
Whilst there is much more of the British Isles and Eire to explore, given their limited vacation time and expensive air fares their next trip should be to anywhere else in Europe; France, Germany, Italy etc.
Living in Southern England it is common to drive, via Eurotunnel or ferries, for a fortnight vacation, day trip or long weekend in Europe. Some of us even frequently vacation in America or occasionally spend a fun weekend Christmas shopping in New York in December.
Loved my visit to York. My late partner was a Yorkshire man he was going to take me back to show me his York. Sadly that never happened. Glad you enjoyed York and the UK. Lived watching your Vlogs
I would so love to see a vid of you both learning to actual use cutlery lol. I worked in the US for a few summers so know its not just you 2. Attacking a Sunday Roast like 2 cavemen sends shivers down my spine lol. Glad you liked it though, there really is nothing better. Hope to see you over here again very soon
Lol 😂 ditto lol 😂
Have watched each vlog……so pleased you like the U.K., my home, and that you both had fun and felt we gave you a good welcome! 👍❤️
My wife and I were married at York Minster in 1977. It’s a great place…and so says a Lancastrian.
Yeah what Americans call bandaids we call plasters. It's a shame you didn't check out Wales & Ireland too, you would love it in these places too. But glad you had an awesome time tho Joel. 👌
I just watched all your UK vids in one sitting. Australian here, with UK ancestors. My grandmother was a first gen Aus. Loved all the vids. I should have commented on each separate one. I get my UK fix watching Escape To The Country on TV UA-cam. We get so much great British TV here and eat similar food. Oh the Sunday roast my grandmother, my mother and I still cook sometimes. Might the vids again😊
I'm so pleased you enjoyed York, such a lovely city. Us folk 'up North' are generally a nice bunch and usually very friendly 😀😀
A couple of great guys that kept us all informed and entertained. Has been a joy to watch.
Great content Joel, stumbled on channel by mistake, short but packed with interesting clips, you appear mature beyond your years, your parents must be so proud, if half Americans are like you then the world is a better place, I have scrolled through some of your old content, it's on point, off the charts, look forward to future vlogs take care safe flight to 🇺🇸 USA from Stansted.
Loved what your mum said in the email. Loved the phil Collins song 'take me home' i bet your family are glad you are home. Take care and come back in the near future 👍🍺🇬🇧🙏
So chuffed you’ve enjoyed your trip to the UK 🇬🇧 😊 Am especially glad you enjoyed York , including your Sunday lunch ( and Yorker pud wrap 🤗) . Hope you and Will got home safe. Take care lovely boy !!!
Joel, you've been brilliant . Lovely seeing the UK through fresh eyes. Bravo. 👏
I am really glad that you had a great time in the UK. Hopefully you will come again. It has been fun watching your travels and your reaction to the encounters you have had.
Loved watching the pair of you discovering some parts of our country - please come back soon xxx
You've been an amazing host/presenter along with cameraman Will these past few days - I've thoroughly enjoyed every minute - Great Stuff.
Hope your hotel is comfortable and that your journey back home goes smoothly.
See you on the other side of the pond ....
Take care boys.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@ItsJps You have a real gift Joel and you manage to light everyone up .... thank you.
You are both such genuinely decent young men..... though I'm not surprised you feel sick after all the rich food!. It's a pleasure to watch . Thankyou
Hopefully next time you can bring your brother and when you are back home can finely tell your fellow American's are food is not as bad as they think. Safe journey home and don't forget to fill your suitcase with goodies to share back home with friends and family 😂
Damn this the most British non British individual I’ve ever seen, as a fellow American turned Brit its beautiful to see, give this man a citizenship right now
What a great last vlog from your week in the UK. York is beautiful as are the Yorkshire folk. Thanks to Will on "steady cam". He did a great job and stayed chilled throughout. Glad you enjoyed your visit!
It was great to experience Britain through your eyes, the laughs, the pleasure, and also the disappointments.
You come across as two lovely guys who look with wonder and delight at all these new experiences, it was a pleasure to watch, and I looked forward to all your updates but now there is nothing to look forward to. 😪 Take care, and come back soon, there is so much more for you to see 👍😎
WELL DONE YOUNG JOEL & WILL, I'm glad you both had a blast, the joy just shines from your faces.. Lots seen, but so much more to see next time eh!
Lovin' the posts, as always, it would be interesting to see what you took back home with you and your Lil Bro's reaction to your 'haul'..
Best wishes from Wales :D
i'm an old guy in UK, When as a lad i visited Yorkshire, my aunt was a Yorkshire 'lass' when i visited he for Sunday lunch, , the true Yorkshire pudding was always flat and served with gravy, and served first, before the roast meal, i asked why, she told me that it was to 'fill you up' before the roast part, as meat was expensive then, so you didn't need much meat, as the Yorkshire pudding filled you up.
There is a lot of cathedrals in the UK.the Lincoln cathedral is really massive and impressive on top of a steep hill overlooking the city.
I agree - so many beautiful cathedrals in Britain.
In my 9 years stationed there I managed visit every one .... The most beautiful setting is Salisbury Cathedral. Each one has so much History but Canterbury takes the prize for that!
Lincoln Cathedral is amazing. With it's long-since-gone central tower it was the world's tallest building for over 200 years and it was the first building to be taller than the pyramids in Egypt. Stunning building.
this is why we brits eat always holding knife and fork in both hands at all times ,so we can easily mix and mash food items together, i think u did react to a video of americans vs british etiquette using cutlery before
Yes the word(s) for what Americans call bandaids is very different. Sticking plaster is the full expression, though most just shorten it to a ‘plaster.’
By the way, the big ‘pocket’ in the Yorkshire pudding is for pouring in gravy. I’m glad you had a good time, come back again soon 😉
Bandaid. I have never heard it. I'm bad with Trumpish words
So glad you got to visit my home town l love York so much I moved here from London 5 years ago and never regretted it it's the most beautiful city I know
So happy you had a good trip around the UK and safe trip back hone
I think this series will be life changing for you, as you say. There is a great career in the media ahead of you if you choose to find it. You are a natural, and deserve great success. It’s been such a pleasure to see you over here enjoying your experiences. A huge shout out to Will for the camera work. I feel sure you will both be friends for life. Thank you so much for visiting our country. I think you’ve been impressed, but surely not as much as we have been impressed by you.
I’m so glad you and Will had a great time in the UK. So much more to see. Maybe next time you can visit Northern Ireland and Wales
Glad you enjoyed your first trip to the UK Joel. You crammed an awful lot in ...a real whirlwind tour..and yet you only scratched the surface really. As you no doubt realise, although the UK may seem pretty small compared to the US it is bigger than you might think, extremely diverse both culturally and geographically. Hope you will want to come back again and visit some other regions, perhaps at a more leisurely pace next time.. Safe journey back to the States.
Hope all your memories of the British isles was more than you hoped for, well done lads! 👍
Midwest Americans and yourself both shared videos from York at a similar time. Would have been awesome if you'd met.
On behalf of UK its been a delight to 'host' you and your chum - try and get down south next time (coastal?) - so much more to see and do on these tine Islands of ours which make up UK - have a safe trip home.
Funny The Midwest Couple also posted visiting that Yorkshire pudding place today too, small world
Love you guys loved your UK adventure it helps us appreciate our beautiful country hopefully you can come back again
The potatoes are usually coated in fat and put in the oven to roast, duck fat is considered the best for it...
this series is great. i've seen other american travel vlogs and this was the most fun
Thanks for visiting 😊🇬🇧
Hope you both had a great time.....
Safe journey home....😘
This was great!
After your experiences in Scotland, I'm so pleased your trip ended on a high note.
Shout out to YO1 and the people of York for making you boys so welcome.
As a rule, we don't tend to use our hands when eating Sunday dinner (unless you're mopping up the left-over gravy on your plate with a slice of bread), but a good host will always make exceptions for a guest! Your roast looked really good, and it's great that you both enjoyed it - Our cuisine doesn't deserve the poor reputation it often has abroad...
Wishing you a safe and uneventful journey home.
Many thanks, Joel and Wil. :)
We dont "tend" to use our hands for eating at all, unless it is a sandwich"
I watched them eat, with open mouth, mine that is, at how awkwardly they
deal with food !
@@marycarver1542 Are you expecting me to believe you eat fresh fruit, chocolate bars, a bag of chips, and biscuits, etc. with a knife and fork?
Whilst I agree, the American way of using cutlery looks clumsy and inefficient, if that's their way, then it's their way.
Remember our own way of using tableware grew out of simple snobbery, with the noble houses of Britain and Europe attempting to outdo each other in attempts to appear more cultured and refined.
I shudder to think how you must feel watching someone use chopsticks...
@@marycarver1542 You were so shocked you literally sat there with your mouth open? Lol come on.
It does look a bit awkward how they use cutlery but using hands for food isn't that odd in the UK nor in many cultures around the world. It's really not that shocking.
We have burgers in Britain too, hot dogs, wraps, toast, pizza, baguettes/rolls/buns/sandwiches, fruit, naan bread alongside a curry, pasties, sausage rolls and so on that surely almost everyone eats with their hands. So you must have seen people eat with their hands loads of times 🤔
So glad you have enjoyed our beautiful country, it’s been a learning curve for the pair of you. Save trip home boys.
Mate, I am honestly so sad this has come to an end! 😂 Glad you guys enjoyed your last day and enjoyed the trip overall. Also hope the recovery is going well, I know it takes some time getting over the jet lag.
Amazing week Joel, thankyou so much for all of the vlogs on Patreon and youtube, you have definitely spoilt us. I'm so pleased you had an amazing time in our country and I really hope it has inspired you to come back again. Keep doing what you're doing joel. Lyd x
On your plate also was a sausage wrapped in bacon, they are called 'pigs in blankets' to my knowledge they only started doing them recently on Sunday roasts as they where usually just a Christmas dinner thing...
Somebody PLEASE teach those boys to use a knife and fork effectively. That said, I have enjoyed the open-minded and bright was you have reacted to everything and everyone. Safe journey home
Yes, Americans lost their table manners somewhere along the way….. sort of like a horse at a trough… but they’re great guys anyway, and we so appreciate their great channel!!
❤
Hacking away at it like they had a pitchfork! 🤣
They are following the American table manners in stead of the European. 😊
I discovered this channel just as you arrived in England and followed your whole journey, enjoyed every vlog and subscribed, wonderful 👏👏👏
York is a lovely city. Went a few years ago, and would love to go again.
A train ticket from London would cost more than the flight to the Trumpish States
Buy yourself a Rhode wireless microphone when you get home, make life so much easier for you, and no more trailing wires, awesome uploads all week 🙏
I hope you guys enjoyed your first time in the UK as much as we enjoyed following along with your vlogs! Every single food item you tried on your trip looked outstandingly delicious, but the wrap and the dinner blew everything else out of the water! Hope your hand recovers quickly, all the best from Portugal and do start looking into visiting this amazing country as well! 😉
The mashed veg was turnips (swede/rutabaga).
I suspect the thing you called a chip was a roast parsnip. Was it sweet?
Also, next to your turnips was a pig in blanket.
The whole meal looked delicious.
Joel what a fantastic time you have had. The Vlogs are there forever now to watch and enjoy. So glad the hospitality of York came through and you got the Sunday roast with Yorkies in my beloved Yorkshire. There are so many more beautiful parts of Yorkshire you could come back and visit and combine with other beautiful parts of the UK. Rest up and I look forward to your next post.😘🙋
