It was stop starty because it was televised live so they were stopping for constant television adverts. Sucks, but that's a part of American pro sports unfortunately.
I'm wondering if Joel and Lia know what the name 76ers refers to, and how it relates to the UK. 🤔
@@hawaiijim I'm sure they don't 😂
I think we members should get Joel’s footage inside the arena no matter how loud it is. I’d love to see the footage that was left of the editing room floor.
Get american Express travellers checks. Not a ton of cash
Joel, LOL - “69’ers” 😂😂😂 And you said Americans are filthy … 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️ Glad you guys had fun!
When the game is played in an enclosed area it’s called an arena. When it’s played in an outdoor area ,where you’re exposed to the elements ,it’s a stadium.
Except for one thing - there are enclosed stadiums. I believe the first was the Houston Astrodome where the Houston Astros played baseball years ago. Now several football stadiums are domed like the Dallas Cowboy's home field.
@@auapplemac1976 True. The Chicago Bulls used to play in the Chicago Stadium before they moved into their new home the United Center.
The thing about getting gifted tickets by a friendly American, it’s not necessarily a “once in a lifetime opportunity” in the sense that Americans are really friendly and more than willing to go out of their way to help strangers/foreigners! If y’all continue to travel around the US I GUARANTEE this won’t be the last time some random person shows you kindness like this.
The “once in a lifetime” is the skybox, I think.
Bruh america as a whole might be like that, but as someone from Philly, lemme tell you that it's kinda every man for himself here lmfao the city motto amongst the people living there is literally "bad things happen in Philly"
When you said we’re going to the “match” we knew you didn’t know much about basketball. 😂. Love you guys!
One of the most adorable things I've seen in a long, long time is the way Joel blushed when he called the team "the 69ers" instead of "the 76ers"! So funny! Thanks for sharing the story of the match ('game') in Wells Fargo Stadium.
You guys have been killing it with these Philly videos. I'm from South Jersey so It just really gets me excited to see you guys around my area out of the whole entire world. I'm glad you two had a good time and I hope you come back some day
I loved hearing about your very American experience at a pro basketball game. Your enthusiasm and open-minded attitude to new experiences is what makes you guys so awesome at what you do. Much love to my two favorite Brits!
The reason the action stopped and started like that? Lia nailed it, adverts. The game was being broadcast on national television and they can't let people miss anything during a commercial, so they stop the game for them. Yes, it's a bother. It's better to watch college games, which aren't usually televised, to get a better game.
Yes . Very unfortunate part of American pro sports in my opinion. Even alot of big time college games are frequently stopped for a huge number of adverts.
@@gacaptain mostly basketball, football and baseball. I went to an NHL game last month for the first time and it was so fast-paced and action packed compared to other sports, I was so amazed!
It's the reason nobody pays attention to the game in the arena. The NBA is an event, but the game is unwatchable. It's been that way for decades. If you actually like the game of basketball, then college games are the only choice.
@@blueguitarbob The obvious question is, why does anybody go to the game under those circumstances?
The stops are mostly for fouls and timeouts. There are scheduled TV breaks built into the game clock. Ads aren't the reason for the "stoppy-starty". When they do go to commercials for a TV timeout that's when the Sixers' staff come out with the family entertainment to keep everybody involved.
If you ever go to another sporting event, you should try to get a press pass. You can get in early through a special entrance (usually), and they'll let you bring in any camera gear.
I'd think Joel mixed up the 76ers and the 49ers to get the 69ers, except he's probably never heard of the 49ers either.
In 1776, the US declared its independence. That is why they are the 76'ers.
In Philadelphia!!
@@dickwagenaar3684 From ....Britian!

Basketball games are not "matches" in the U.S. Matches in the U.S. are usually one-on-one competitions, like chess matches, boxing matches, wrestling matches....
I find that most of the difference in English between the UK and North America is that over here we have a much greater variety. Whenever I've been in the UK or even Australia sometimes they'll say, oh you call it an elevator and not a lift. And then I say, no we have lifts also but they're different. You get inside of an elevator it has a roof and doors that close. A lift is something that you get on top of and it lifts you a shorter distance. It's also more commonly used for goods than for people In general it seems they use one word to describe a bunch of different things that are related whereas in the US we have different names for each thing.
Love it, you guys were on Preston and Steve, you've been to a Sixers game, you learned about the drip and got to experience the Philly generosity so we would formally like to adopt you as locals
Are you THE Jon?
@@patrickandrews5166 depends who you ask 😁
They got to see MVP Joel Embiid play! Lucky Brits!
I love how truly grateful y’all are ☺️❤️✨
I bet if you'd stood up and said "Hey we're from the UK and none of our cards are working, can anyone swipe us through " you'd have been.on the subway in seconds.
That's amazing! You got to experience what many Americans can only dream of! Going to a pro basketball game and getting the VIP treatment is no small thing here in the U.S. BTW: You both are awesome. I've been watching your channel since the early days. 😊
Joel, LoL 69'ers too funny. Sounds like you guys enjoyed yourselves. Loved hearing about your experience in attending a Philly/Lakers B-Ball game.🤗🤗🤗🤗
Some of the stoppages in the NBA game were probably media time-outs. Basically for commercials since the games are televised.
To Be Clear: Indoor=Arena, Outdoor=Stadium
With a few exceptions, the Alamodome stadium was originally built for the Spurs but was way too big (60k) for a small market team. Now does mainly football games. Arena tends to be under 20k capacity. Stadiums can have retractable roofs as well
It’s more about the size and sport there. Football even indoor is a stadium. Basketball and hockey are arenas.
@@marcanthony8873 I'm referring to the default terminology that's used for general things (sporting events aren't the the only things that the structures are used for), but I take your point.
This game was on national television so they have to stop for commercials at certain points. That's why some of the stoppages were longer than others. Plus every foul they stop play either for free throws or a throw in, similar to English football.
The 69ers …I’m dying 😂😂😂
Loved every moment of your play by play and glad you had a grand time!!! 🥂
I can't stop rewatching the 69'ers part. Lol, so hilarious
Glad that you enjoyed the game. Your candid commentary was great including Joel's 69ers slip.
Leaving a game in a packed arena, and being a bit frustrated. Welcome to American professional sports.
They probably never go to big football (soccer) matches in England. You hear fans there complain about the same thing. Probably even worse at some stadiums.
I Love that you got to see a professional Basketball game in the US. So much fun!
VIP Suite seats at a basketball game is amazing and lots of fun! Glad you got the VIP experience. Hope you get to do it again in the future. 💜😉👍
The 69ers!!! lmao You guys crack me up!
"There was a guy who got escorted out by police for screaming profanities at the players; but I think that's very unusual"
lmao; I would find it more unusual if Philly fans *didn't* scream profanity and get arrested.
Now gather around and let me tell you about how our old stadium (Veteran's Stadium) had a courthouse and jail built into the basement specifically because Philly fans go hard.
Get into a drunken fist fight? "Alright buddy, come on, lets go downstairs and put you in jail."
J&L are from England...I think their fans even surpass Philly fans for rowdiness.
“This is the third time this week man!”
I can't tell you how happy it makes me that you so enjoyed your experiences in Philadelphia!
Glad you had fun, what a great experience! The way back sounded like a nightmare though, it reminded me of when you were in Toronto on the last trip and had a really stressful time coming back from Niagara Falls. I wonder why they wouldn’t let Lia take the go Pro in but the other camera was allowed. 😕 You should definitely always have some cash with you, you never know when you might need it. Overall sounded like a fun time and experience! 😁👏❇️❤️
Of the two pro teams in the US named after dates, the ‘76 ers commemorate independence, while the 49ers are after the California gold rush.
And to be even clearer, they refer to the years 1776 and 1849
So heartbreaking for Joel and Lia to fail to recognize that their phones come with a camera.
Love that you called it a basketball match XD Tell me you’re British without telling me you’re British
I am so glad you guys had a good time in Philly. Our region gets trashed throughout the nation for the fans being mean and obnoxious, which is not true. So I'm glad you had fun, you'll always be welcome back to Philly. You need to come to a Phillies baseball game during the summer. As for your meal at Bob's Diner, I'm so glad you both loved that food. Diners are a tradition in the Philly and New Jersey area, and the breakfasts are always yummy!
I've been following these two beautiful souls around the world and I loved every minute of it, even when they talk bad about America God is greater than anyone or couple
Glad you enjoyed it
GO 69ers!!!!
Box seats are pretty grand. Someone likes you a lot!
Glad you guys had a great time at the 76ers game! 🏀
Have you guys thought about getting a US bank account? Maybe that would eliminate the awkward declines.
That happens to me sometimes when I visit other states- lol
Or just picking up some Visa prepaid cards at the store would work just as well
I've never been to a basketball game, but I have been to an L.A. Kings hockey game at the Staples Center (the same arena where the Lakers are based), and it was a ton of fun, even though I don't follow the sport.
The hockey game is hands-down 1000 times more exciting than the basketball game
I'm glad you guys enjoyed being at a Basketball game and enjoyed the food. Even you didn't completely understand what was going on in the game.
I died laughing to 69ners😂😂😂😂😂😂
It’s a game. Not match. A game ❤️
You two get way too much love from Americans!
Hockey isnt very "stoppy and starty" so next time you arenin the US, check out a Hockey game! They are so fun!
ALTHOUGH THE FLYERS ARE NOT PLAYING TOO WELL THIS SEASON AND NOT FUN TO WATCH WHEN THEY LOSE BUT I SAID THE SAME THING TOO.
It was stop starty because it was televised so commercial breaks. Ordinarily basketball is not way but televised sports are different.
@@danielflynn8530 worst fans in all sports.. Philly fans
@@gacaptain Ive been to hockey and football games LIVE and there are far more breaks with football. At least basketball is a high scoring game... But football can get painful to watch for me tbh.
@@SherriLyle80s The first time I went to an NFL game I had only been used to going to high school and college football. NFL was so less exciting. SMH. Especially since my high school played in a very good competitive region and were very popular and loved by the community. High school play off and rivalry games I went to were a lot more riveting with the crowd energy almost none stop.
69ers.....Nice Freudian slip, Joel. LOL. Love it that Lia is taking Philly lingo back to the UK. You guys seemed to have soooo much fun ! I'm glad. Great vid !!
I didn’t look up official definitions, but as a US citizen, I’ve always seen “stadium” as open-air and “arena” as enclosed, but I also hear them used interchangeably. I think sometimes “arena” is seen as a smaller venue than a “stadium.”
Need to go see a Baseball and American Football game too.
You were in a suite (SWEET)...food and drinks are paid for in the suites that I've been in...so you have experienced something that only 1% of people in the US will ever experience
Extra cute you called it a match! Xoxo
I think it's hilarious that Joel was saying they were here to support the 76ers, while doing the chest tap peace symbol thing that Curry does when he makes a 3. I mean, I guess it's okay since the Warriors used to play in Philadelphia.
Ha! In Philly the word water is really a tell you are from that general area as well! Glad you had a blast! Not many people from the US get to sit in the box seats so that was quite a lovely surprise I am sure! It is so much fun being there and all the giveaways and events is loads of fun!
Some of us in America don't know what a drip is either.
"69ers," bwah hahaha 😆 I'll never hear that team name again without thinking of Joel's faux pas!
I LOVE basketball, pro and college!!! I live in Chicago so I am the biggest Chicago Bulls fan and the games were the best, especially playoff games. I also went to the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign so I had the pleasure to watch Big Ten games with the fighting Illini.
Come to Chicago and I’d love to show you a good time!!!
That is a great color on you Lia.
Thanks for sharing that experience. I’m
Glad you had a great time.
British Folks not recognizing that something significant happened in Philadelphia in 1776 is kinda funny.
You need to watch the movie with Gene Hackman called "Hoosiers." It will really give you a love of basketball.
Those tickets you guys were gifted weren't "hundreds" of dollars. More like thousands.
Bwahahahaha 🤣🤣 The 69ers! That’s fabulous! 🤣🤣
Halftime shows: A long time ago, the Sixers had halftime shows in which fans could come down and wrestle Victor the Wrestling Bear. They also had Singing Pigs.
They had the most tastiest fries in the world, I'm so impressed.
Love you guys ur having too much fun in America
I love the Philadelphia Sixty Niners too. LoL
You should watch grade school, middle school and high school basketball. They don't stop all the time like college/university and pro. And, honestly, the games can be just as exciting, if not more so. 😁 Those kids take hits whereas college and pro players seem fall on the floor over the slightest thing. The kids are often really good and the multitude of parents, friends, relatives and other community members cheering them on adds to the excitement. We're really proud of all the kids. 😊❤ Oh yeah, college/university and pro also stop a lot for commercials. So, when you're actually in the audience, it kinda sucks! Lol!
So great you had a good time. Pro sports is different from college sports (does vary by school for sure), but hope you get to experience a good tailgating college…. (I’m partial to Clemson Tigers), but any enthusiastic school will do in the south bc we tailgate for HOURS…. Can walk around and everyone will give you food, etc. (but anywhere you go… there’s always the jerk fans that don’t represent the schools); they get escorted out of the stadium too. There’s no drinking inside… so people come in lit. Have fun, travel safe.
Sixers games are some of the best experiences! Btw arena, court, and game are all fine.
Basketball bores me. I didn’t even like playing it in school. Baseball is my sport😁
Bores me too but so does baseball😂 It’s all about hockey
I bonded with my older sister over baseball so it has a special meaning. Granted, I always have to be doing something else, but it’s the only team sport I follow
@@deborahstevens3254 i understand. Just too slow for me and way too many games in a season. I enjoy playing though.
Stadiums are usually outdoor except domes. But for football 🏈 and soccer ⚽. Arenas are always indoor usually under 20k capacity for hockey and basketball.
I'm jealous at 29 seconds into this
Glad you two had fun at the game!
Basketball has timeouts which was probably the constant pausing lol
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣 joe 69 what’s on your mind? Lol
69er!?!?! Oh phillys coming for you now!🤣🤣🤣
If you ever have the chance, go to a college or even High School game. You're more likely to see a lot more continuous action. It can get pretty exciting when the scores are going back and forth between who's in the lead. And of course there's a vast difference in size between an arena and a high school gymnasium, so obviously you're going to be Much closer to the action, making a huge difference in the experience.
Too funny! Love you guys!😃
Games only in America. The only match in America is tennis.
It might be a smart thing to purchase some Visa prepaid cards here when you get into the states so that you have those available purchase things that require a debit or credit card
Cheers from the Pacific West Coast of Canada.
12:13 Geee! I wonder why you said that? Joel's mind in the gutter! 🤣
Yeah, at sporting events in America, it's pretty common that the food and drink is quite pricey
NBA and american sports for that matter have build in TV timeouts, so companys can run ads on tv. hope you enjoyed yalls time! :)
Hope y'all can get to an NFL (American football) game this season!!!
I get canker/cold sores in my mouth (on my gums) when I get stressed. Hate it! Just found your channel. Love your vids!
"LONDON!!!"
Stop and starts are for certain things. Inbounding ball. Fouls. Timeouts. End of quarter. Etc...
Am from Ohio and never heard of the term drip before.
Here in Atlanta some people use the term alot. They will use the expression "Drip Check" to mean stopping to check yourself out in the mirror.
Another word some person with a -30 IQ came up with and a bunch of other -30 IQ people thought it was clever somehow 🤣🤦♂️😂🤷♂️
Great video! The 69’ers are my favorite team!
Maybe you should see a college NCAA tournament game, which is just getting underway.
76ers was derived from 1776 when the USA (13 states at the time) formally became independent from the British empire. But I’m not a historian, so it could have been 1769 in which case 69ers would probably be the appropriate team name.
Just call them the Sixers
11:08 HOLY CRAP I’m the same exact way😂
Y'all need to come over during football season and I'll take you to an Ohio state college football game
Forgot | PHILLY Series! in the title?
Good point. Hope everyone knows this is recorded.
At least they score though. Soccer may have the guys running around all the time, but scoring is too difficult to keep the interest of many Americans.
Yes, please carry some emergency cash. You never know when you’ll need it! 💵
The breaks are for T.V.
Commercials
Carry emergency cash always you can't count on the credit card or cash machines working. Glad you got the opportunity to go to a game and you seem to have enjoyed it. Can't wait for the next video.
