Once they arrived and enjoyed some success, that builds confidence upon confidence, especially if each generation enjoys a better lifestyle than the previous generation.

One reason Americans are more confident, if a rich person tries to put a poor person in their place, the poor person is not constrained by law, and therefore free to say what they want back. This promotes open courage.
Yes.. we are free to quit as well... We don't have the false respect for elites that other places seem to. I talk to everyone the same could care less your status nor money.. The rich seem to really let their hair down when around every day ppl whom do this.. like they can finally relax without worrying about being judged or keeping a false front on that isn't necessarily their real personality
ELVIS PRESLEY…yes…but even before Elvis…CHUCK BERRY…and LITTLE RICHARD…and BUDDY HOLLY and THE CRICKETS…and JIMMIE REED…and BILL HALEY and HIS COMETS…AND MORE…❤️🎶
Preach. Plus it's known that Elvis grew up in the hood and went to a black Baptist Church. That's where his music roots came from. And Elvis hired black musicians and singers even though it was not acceptable 💕
The entertainers that sing encourage the audience to join in. They like the fact that the audience knows the words to their songs. They take that as a compliment.
I don't think-based upon my experience-that Americans are more confident. Friendly talk/small talk is just the way it is. It is common, therefore it doesn't require confidence to simply do what everyone else is doing. I think a true measure of confidence is whether a person can be comfortable giving a presentation in front of a group of classmates or coworkers. That is much more rare😉
I'm an introvert but still being an American for some reason if someone came up to me wanting to have a conversation, I wouldn't turn it down and I would carry it on and in a playful manner. It feels too rude to just turn them down
I'm working on 50(see how that goes). I remember the first time I said" kids today". And as soon as it came out my mouth I was " oh my God I just said that". I was in my mid 20's
To worry about the many hands that money goes through is quite silly. Every time you leave your home you will touch thousands of things touched millions of times.
"Dreaming of a cashless society" is a really NPC mindset. The lack of foresight is kind of amazing. Yes, in a world of people getting their bank accounts canceled for wrongthink, let's give power over everyone's livelihoods solely to the government/banks (same thing). Genius.
Hollywood is actually a neighborhood in Los Angeles, A lot of what people associate as Hollywood, the glitz, glamour is actually other neighborhoods in Los Angeles, where the rich tv & movie stars, directors, producers, etc... that are in the film/tv industry live...Beverly Hills, Bel Air etc... There is also a big difference between Hollywood, North Hollywood or East Hollywood, all 3 much lower income than the Hollywood Hills( 3x median income) ,
You definitely got that right. Hollywood is just an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, and it’s not that great of a place. East of Highland Avenue, Hollywood is kind of a ghetto area, with many poor Hispanics. West of Highland it’s better, but it’s not where all the stars hang out. North Hollywood is kind of an uninteresting area, just a housing suburb, but if you go South of Sunset, West Hollywood is very glitzy and expensive and a place where you mind find a few stars. But then, West Hollywood is its own City (incorporated in 1984) and was never even a part of the City of Los Angeles. Worst part of LA is the traffic. It’s horrible, which is why I’d avoid it. Northern California is really the best part of the State, especially along the coast in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Judge dredd is classic 80s dark dystopia. Basically the judge is literally judge, jury, and executioner in a police state dystopia. It’s quite popular in the states only because image comics took the rights
@@AndrewSmith-qw5kt I find them incredibly annoying and not very bright. What made me block their channel from being suggested, was when they visited Hooters without doing any research. They were incredulous that all the waitresses had big boobs, and didn't bother trying to food that Hooters is famous for.
Watched as long as I could, can’t do it. You folks are my number one reaction channel so no slight on you whatsoever. Can’t identify with them though. 🤠
Also, our Dennis the Menace was first published in 1951. What’s the date on the British one? I always assumed that theirs was later; just as we took the idea of “Sanford and Son” from one of their TV shows. But, maybe I’m wrong.
I'm reminded of a comedy routine from the 1950s. The late Gerard Hoffnung joked about being a British tour guide giving advice foreign visitors. Some of his advice included : "When entering a railway compartment, be sure to shake hands with all of the other passengers"; and "Have you tried the famous echo in the Reading Room of the British Museum?"
The USA is the world’s entertainment nation, movies, tv, music, superheroes. This is like advertising for us, others want to visit, buy our movies and music, learn American English as the standard, etc. It has worked well.
Absolutely right! He was followed by Bill Haley & The Comets. Chuck Berry and Little Richard were influenced by rhythm and blues singers like BB King and Ruth Brown. Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry were the first white singers to sing it in the style of the rhythm and blues singers.
I can't hear Natural Woman without thinking of that '90s-ish Herbal Essence commercial with that lady singing it in the shower and her husband comes in at the end and she goes "Steven!"
Ironic she says American music is the Genesis of music. Born, raised, still living in the United States. Genesis, the British band, is my favorite group😂😂
Dennis the Menace was a TV show here in America. The first season was in 1959 in black and white. Link: ruclips.net/video/6UrEFawCZ6E/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Not always. You have to listen to the tone & inflection. If you do something stupid, yes. If you fall ill or something. It’ll be a genuine & heart felt.
There is an American Dennis the Menace. It's a completely different comic with completely different characters and they were thought of completely independently of one another. And they began their runs on like the same week or maybe even same day. It was some insane coincidence. So improbable that it could've propelled a starship all the way to Magrathea. Literature: that's one I gotta give to you Brits. 😁
The Brits contribution to music in America is HUGE. You guys are always very humble in that respect. I grew up during the "British Invasion" era and credit British artists with playing a huge role in shaping my love for music.
There are some good bands from the U.S. but the bands from the U.K. in my opinion are just so much better. The cure, which I feel are the greatest band ever, would not be the same if they were from the U.S., maybe it's the gloomy weather in England.
@kikibigbangfan3540 Where did I say that British music wasn't influenced by American music? I said British music played a huge role in shaping my love for music. Read more carefully.
Piece of advice guys...Bring both cash (converted to dollars) and your credit/debit cards with you when you come to the US. As for sincerity...you can hide behind a wall using sarcasm but you have to let your guard down to be sincere.
Sarcasm is alive and well in some parts of the USA. Like New York City, Boston, Philadelphia (the north east in general). Interestinfly I think the North East is the most like Great Brittain in general any way.
Joel and Lia do it for humor, Joel's family has a 2nd home in Florida. He has gone to the US his whole life. They both went to acting school so they use extreme sarcasm.
The ability to talk to strangers is not just a confidence thing. It's so much more than that. I would say that a good part of it is just curiosity or the drive to acquire information. When you're out and about, and you need to know something that you can't get from Google at the moment, you have to ask other people, and because we're not so obsessed with the Class system like Europe is, the other person will be more than happy to help you in your inquiry.
The British has so many awesome bands & singers as well . Growing up as a teenager in the late 80s & also the club scene in Houston Texas there were more Brittish bands heard in the clubs with New Wave & industrial music. In the 80s with so many great bands it was literally called the British invasion( with great music)
There are British superheroes. Marvel has Captain Britain, Psylocke, Union Jack, Spitfire, Black Knight, Micromax. Peggy Carter/Captain Carter. Irish: Banshee, Siryn, Shamrock, Irish Wolfhound. I believe DC has John Constantine. Doctor Who. Just off the top of my head. There were British comic books in the Golden Age. Marvelman, Knights of Pendragon, Clan Destine, and more.
Many people from other countries will disagree, but we Americans are the friendliest people on Earth, except for, maybe, Canadians. We are also the most blunt people on Earth. If you piss us off, you are going to know about it right then and there, especially in an environment where we are footing the bill, like a hotel or restaurant. If you are friendly, we take note of it. We love to talk and we love being American. Some of the best conversations I have ever had has been with people who's names I still don't know. In order to understand the myriad cultures that make up this country you have to actually spend some real time here. Not just visiting once or twice. I was born in Southern California and have lived in the Midwest, the South, and the Southwest. They are all the same, yet very distinct from each other. I've been looked at like I'm from another planet when I've asked for something common in one part of the country and totally unheard of in another part of the country.
Hollywood has a few cool places to see especially around the studios and the Hollywood sign etc. If you are looking for the famous people your talking Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Malibu and Studio City.
I've lived half-way between Disneyland and Hollywood my whole life. It's Las Vegas that's my favorite trip, though, and partly because I also love driving through the desert. I love the Joshua trees, cactus, all of it.
I remember in the late '60's going to get donuts On Sunday mornings then stopping at a store to get Comic books or teen magazines. Those were some good times.
Motivational speakers... Have you not seen our cheerleaders at high schools and college sports stadiums? We have 'motivational speakers' coming out of the woodwork at every level. ;)
There was a Captain Britain comic book. This was long after Captain America started, but it's at least a British superhero. It was basically a British version of Captain America, same powers if I recall and same origin possibly.
You will be sorely disappointed in 'Hollywood' - however.. however.. if you watch the end credits to any movie.. all the companies mentioned are found there .. usually in dreary non-descript buildings.. The Beverly Hills Hotel is pretty old school hollywood glitz... and there are restaurants and clubs sprinkled around the area - but it's not gonna wow you
I honestly hate to take visitors to Hollywood Blvd. to see the stars in the sidewalk. It’s not the best street in L.A. - it’s pretty grubby & rough around the edges , but there are some good theaters there. If I’m seeing a play there I’d go, but if not, I try to avoid that area altogether. So many better places to see, but people love to look at the stars…
I use to watch these 2 and it got old fast. Millie and James you do not sound like these 2. They are uppity and even though they went to America all they can do is insult. There were many times in this that they said something nice and then put in a "but". They really were not envious in any way. I have many family members in England and they never talk like that over there or when they are visiting America.
I always thought Brits were very confident. There’s also nothing like British sense of humor. My great grandmother migrated from London to America when she was 17, she lived to be 104yrs old, had her sound mind & sense of humor till the end.
Confidence.? Honestly, I've never thought about it really. I was raised down south and from the time I was little, I was told to speak to people that are around you. I pass people, and generally say" Hey , how's it going? " We just try to do our best, be our best. Sometimes it doesn't happen but we tried it. Tomorrow is a new day. I dont know who those people are y'all are watching, but I tuned them out. They started rambling, I checked out.😂 I cant respond to the rest cause I was waiting for them to stop.
I find in larger cities such as Toronto and Vancouver, people are less likely to start a conversation or engage in small talk where as in smaller communities that's not necessarily the case.
Barbecue is low and slow only. Some call barbecuing when they are grilling, different things. I worked in a top-notch restaurant, and steaks were cooked on a broiler (kinda a grill). Had cooks on sauté station, and another was the broilerman.
Greetings from Colorado, USA!!!✌I'm glad you made it over here and got to see a bit of America! Your sweet little boy is precious! Love watching your videos! I'v been subscribed for awhile now. Thank you so much, and come back soon!!
The 1800s British theatre was mostly variety shows. Basically half the acts were classics but the other half were just novelty acts that showed dances that were just fun and entertaining. Usually it was serious then funny back to back. The troops that did these never stayed that long because it near wartime again. So you get a week of shows then they move on. Some actors did well but others did not because of their experience only in one genre. You got skits like the horse trot, the bear, and some stand up comedy but also snippets of Shakespeare or very heavy plays.
Lol!!!!! American Movies and TV shows are made all over the freaking world. Let alone all over the country. I live in a small town in oklahoma. Over 50 major movies, have been made here. Blockbusters even
I could not be a barber. I am an introvert and WILL NOT strike up a conversation with a stranger. When I get my haircut. I close my eyes after some small talk and basically take a nap.
You really need to see Hamilton. It’s a history lesson and a fun time. Hamilton actually allows some audience participation in verses as it help the story move along.
"Hamilton" is a ridiculous show. It started out here in NYC. I guess it was for the tourist crowd as no one that I know wanted to check it out. It's made-up history - more like fantasy.
We got to see the opening of Mama Mia on Broadway, it was brilliant. Someone in the audience had consumed a tad too much alcohol and thought it was a sing-along-long. Only a couple lines into the first song a very quiet, but solemn, man came over and whispered in this man’s ear. They quietly got up and followed him out. I really want to know what he said to get this couple to leave so quick and quietly. They were directly in from of us, we were glad to see them go, but still’d like to know how this man made that happen. Sing in your head, don’t disrupt everyone else’s experience, just because alcohol lied to you and told you can sing like Maria Carrie, YOU CAN’T!

Yes.. we are free to quit as well...
We don't have the false respect for elites that other places seem to.
I talk to everyone the same could care less your status nor money..
The rich seem to really let their hair down when around every day ppl whom do this.. like they can finally relax without worrying about being judged or keeping a false front on that isn't necessarily their real personality
@@virginiarobbins7539 🙂
ELVIS PRESLEY…yes…but even before Elvis…CHUCK BERRY…and LITTLE RICHARD…and BUDDY HOLLY and THE CRICKETS…and JIMMIE REED…and BILL HALEY and HIS COMETS…AND MORE…❤️🎶
Preach. Plus it's known that Elvis grew up in the hood and went to a black Baptist Church. That's where his music roots came from. And Elvis hired black musicians and singers even though it was not acceptable 💕
Ike Turner and the other person's name escapes me are credited for creating rock n' roll.
The entertainers that sing encourage the audience to join in. They like the fact that the audience knows the words to their songs. They take that as a compliment.
I don't think-based upon my experience-that Americans are more confident. Friendly talk/small talk is just the way it is. It is common, therefore it doesn't require confidence to simply do what everyone else is doing. I think a true measure of confidence is whether a person can be comfortable giving a presentation in front of a group of classmates or coworkers. That is much more rare😉
I'm an introvert but still being an American for some reason if someone came up to me wanting to have a conversation, I wouldn't turn it down and I would carry it on and in a playful manner. It feels too rude to just turn them down
I'm working on 50(see how that goes). I remember the first time I said" kids today". And as soon as it came out my mouth I was " oh my God I just said that". I was in my mid 20's
To worry about the many hands that money goes through is quite silly. Every time you leave your home you will touch thousands of things touched millions of times.
"Dreaming of a cashless society" is a really NPC mindset. The lack of foresight is kind of amazing.
Yes, in a world of people getting their bank accounts canceled for wrongthink, let's give power over everyone's livelihoods solely to the government/banks (same thing). Genius.
Really? Do you also lick floors since we traverse them? Money is dirty. I don't think anyone can argue otherwise. This is a weird take.
@@walkerlocker6126 Just because we touch the same things touched by money every time we're in public. Your assertion is absurd.
@@walkerlocker6126everything is dirty, and filled with micro organisms and germs and bacteria. This is life.
might as well wear latex gloves all day, the human body builds up resistance to germs I believe , or we'd of all died off a long time ago.JMO
Hollywood is actually a neighborhood in Los Angeles, A lot of what people associate as Hollywood, the glitz, glamour is actually other neighborhoods in Los Angeles, where the rich tv & movie stars, directors, producers, etc... that are in the film/tv industry live...Beverly Hills, Bel Air etc... There is also a big difference between Hollywood, North Hollywood or East Hollywood, all 3 much lower income than the Hollywood Hills( 3x median income) ,
You definitely got that right. Hollywood is just an unincorporated area of Los Angeles County, and it’s not that great of a place. East of Highland Avenue, Hollywood is kind of a ghetto area, with many poor Hispanics. West of Highland it’s better, but it’s not where all the stars hang out. North Hollywood is kind of an uninteresting area, just a housing suburb, but if you go South of Sunset, West Hollywood is very glitzy and expensive and a place where you mind find a few stars. But then, West Hollywood is its own City (incorporated in 1984) and was never even a part of the City of Los Angeles. Worst part of LA is the traffic. It’s horrible, which is why I’d avoid it. Northern California is really the best part of the State, especially along the coast in the San Francisco Bay Area.
At least thats where wheel of fortune is being recorded and Jeporady.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld neither of those programs are anything to get excited about.
Hollywood is a dump
they mean hollywood as in the metaphor representing the movie industry and/or desirable areas here in California 🙂
British superheroes started in other types of media. Think James Bond, Sherlock Holmes and The Doctor.
Sorry, I could only make it halfway through. I can't take much more than 10 minutes of Joel and Lia, and even that is a bit of a stretch. LOL
Yeah, maybe it's a good thing they went their separate ways. They were so insufferable together.
@@melisamontgomery1846Yeah they just come off as so snooty, not like the down to earth Beesleys and their family.
No Beatles or Rolling Stones without America.
Dr. Who is your superhero even though he's actually from Gallifrey.
Millie "... if we don't, then we're all depressed". In the words of British musician Roger Waters, "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way".
"Time"
That's the first time I heard them say they envy Americana starting up conversations. Usually they say they think it's weird.
You expected those two to be consistent?
Dude says "like" more than a valley girl😂
That explains why their conversation reminded me a high schoolers in a clique from back in the day!! (I just posted this elsewhere)
For sure.
First onstage and audience participation I saw was The Rocky Horror Picture Show back in the early 80’s.
Absolutely the best fun in the world!! We used to go to a place in St Louis, MO and participated with the movie. Soooo much fun!!! Miss that!!!!
My opinion? Those people are delusional. 💜🇨🇱
Love your videos but I personally feel like these guys are both very sarcastic and disingenuous. I think it's why many Americans can't stand them.
The same can be said about our phones They did a study here in America and they said our phones are one of the most dirtiest things we have around
Judge dredd is classic 80s dark dystopia. Basically the judge is literally judge, jury, and executioner in a police state dystopia. It’s quite popular in the states only because image comics took the rights
I almost didnt watch when i saw who it was .
Why don't you like them? They seem pretty positive.
@@AndrewSmith-qw5kt I find them incredibly annoying and not very bright. What made me block their channel from being suggested, was when they visited Hooters without doing any research. They were incredulous that all the waitresses had big boobs, and didn't bother trying to food that Hooters is famous for.
If you're talking about joel and Lia, you're right, they always seemed really snooty.
@@AndrewSmith-qw5kt Too many Americans took Joel and Lia too seriously. They won't accept that it's not serious.
@@AndrewSmith-qw5kt they seemed nice when i first started watching them , now they seem uppity .
I travel to Britain often. While I almost always initiate the conversation I have almost never had a Brit ignore/talk with me.
Yes, us Americans don't understand sarcasm at all... 😛
Watched as long as I could, can’t do it. You folks are my number one reaction channel so no slight on you whatsoever. Can’t identify with them though. 🤠
Yes our Dennis the Menis is Golden Blonde haired.
Also, our Dennis the Menace was first published in 1951. What’s the date on the British one? I always assumed that theirs was later; just as we took the idea of “Sanford and Son” from one of their TV shows. But, maybe I’m wrong.
@@courtneyraymer6586 I imagine you're probably right on that since we have the monkees and they had the beetles.😊
Chuck Berry is the father of Rock & Roll...
I think they are quite naïve they come to the US a handful if times and think they know? How arrogant
Ike Turner and Rocket 88 started Rock and Roll on a national scale in the 50s.
I'm reminded of a comedy routine from the 1950s. The late Gerard Hoffnung joked about being a British tour guide giving advice foreign visitors. Some of his advice included : "When entering a railway compartment, be sure to shake hands with all of the other passengers"; and "Have you tried the famous echo in the Reading Room of the British Museum?"
The original Denis the Menis was an American comic strip from the 1950s.
yes we had dennis the menace. including a tv show in the 60s
Yes, Jay North played him.
British Dennis the menace & American debuts the menace are different, different writers, with different stories, yet the same general premise.
The USA is the world’s entertainment nation, movies, tv, music, superheroes. This is like advertising for us, others want to visit, buy our movies and music, learn American English as the standard, etc. It has worked well.
elvis isn't the one who started rock and roll it was chuck berry and little Richard
Actually, it was Alan Freed.
Absolutely right! He was followed by Bill Haley & The Comets. Chuck Berry and Little Richard were influenced by rhythm and blues singers like BB King and Ruth Brown. Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry were the first white singers to sing it in the style of the rhythm and blues singers.
@@courtneyraymer6586. 😂 Chuck Barry wasn't white. He was black. 🤣
@briansmith48 You’re right! I meant to say Buddy Holly. Sorry about that! 🥴🤪
Harry Potter is the best British super hero.
as far as superhero you guys have 007.
I can't hear Natural Woman without thinking of that '90s-ish Herbal Essence commercial with that lady singing it in the shower and her husband comes in at the end and she goes "Steven!"
Ironic she says American music is the Genesis of music.
Born, raised, still living in the United States.
Genesis, the British band, is my favorite group😂😂
Lol!
LMFAO....Is that what Joel REALLY thinks happened when they landed on Plymouth Rock ..... 😂😂
Dennis the Menace was a TV show here in America. The first season was in 1959 in black and white. Link: ruclips.net/video/6UrEFawCZ6E/видео.htmlfeature=shared
We Can be Sincere But Also Sarcastic as all Get out!😂 example is in the South if they say Bless Your Heart! They're Calling You a Moron.
Are they really?
Not always. You have to listen to the tone & inflection.
If you do something stupid, yes.
If you fall ill or something. It’ll be a genuine & heart felt.
Sometimes.
There is an American Dennis the Menace.
It's a completely different comic with completely different characters and they were thought of completely independently of one another.
And they began their runs on like the same week or maybe even same day. It was some insane coincidence.
So improbable that it could've propelled a starship all the way to Magrathea.
Literature: that's one I gotta give to you Brits. 😁
I carry cash. I love our coins.
Sorry but I would much rather hear your opinions on things than Joel and Lia rambling on and on…
The Brits contribution to music in America is HUGE. You guys are always very humble in that respect. I grew up during the "British Invasion" era and credit British artists with playing a huge role in shaping my love for music.
There are some good bands from the U.S. but the bands from the U.K. in my opinion are just so much better. The cure, which I feel are the greatest band ever, would not be the same if they were from the U.S., maybe it's the gloomy weather in England.
I think you have that backwards. You do know that those British bands like the Beatles, were heavily influenced by American music and artist, right?
@kikibigbangfan3540 Where did I say that British music wasn't influenced by American music? I said British music played a huge role in shaping my love for music. Read more carefully.
@@johns1385 um...the first part. "The British contribution to music in America is HUGE." Most of what they were doing came from here to begin with.
I think Hollywood is more of a concept, movies are not normally made in Hollywood.
Not anymore. It's too expensive. Movies are made in Canada now. They have a special tax credit to lure in filming executive's.
Piece of advice guys...Bring both cash (converted to dollars) and your credit/debit
cards with you when you come to the US. As for sincerity...you can hide behind a wall
using sarcasm but you have to let your guard down to be sincere.
Sarcasm is alive and well in some parts of the USA. Like New York City, Boston, Philadelphia (the north east in general). Interestinfly I think the North East is the most like Great Brittain in general any way.
No we're not
Joel and Lia do it for humor, Joel's family has a 2nd home in Florida. He has gone to the US his whole life. They both went to acting school so they use extreme sarcasm.
Did the Brits ever talk to the Romans when there were there??? 😂
The ability to talk to strangers is not just a confidence thing. It's so much more than that. I would say that a good part of it is just curiosity or the drive to acquire information. When you're out and about, and you need to know something that you can't get from Google at the moment, you have to ask other people, and because we're not so obsessed with the Class system like Europe is, the other person will be more than happy to help you in your inquiry.
I thought for sure someone would say air conditioning.
The British has so many awesome bands & singers as well . Growing up as a teenager in the late 80s & also the club scene in Houston Texas there were more Brittish bands heard in the clubs with New Wave & industrial music. In the 80s with so many great bands it was literally called the British invasion( with great music)
The 80's British invasion was actually the second one.
The first started with the Beetles. 😊
The 80's, good times. 👍
There are British superheroes. Marvel has Captain Britain, Psylocke, Union Jack, Spitfire, Black Knight, Micromax. Peggy Carter/Captain Carter.
Irish: Banshee, Siryn, Shamrock, Irish Wolfhound.
I believe DC has John Constantine.
Doctor Who.
Just off the top of my head. There were British comic books in the Golden Age.
Marvelman, Knights of Pendragon, Clan Destine, and more.
Many people from other countries will disagree, but we Americans are the friendliest people on Earth, except for, maybe, Canadians. We are also the most blunt people on Earth. If you piss us off, you are going to know about it right then and there, especially in an environment where we are footing the bill, like a hotel or restaurant. If you are friendly, we take note of it. We love to talk and we love being American. Some of the best conversations I have ever had has been with people who's names I still don't know. In order to understand the myriad cultures that make up this country you have to actually spend some real time here. Not just visiting once or twice. I was born in Southern California and have lived in the Midwest, the South, and the Southwest. They are all the same, yet very distinct from each other. I've been looked at like I'm from another planet when I've asked for something common in one part of the country and totally unheard of in another part of the country.
Hollywood has a few cool places to see especially around the studios and the Hollywood sign etc. If you are looking for the famous people your talking Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Malibu and Studio City.
I've lived half-way between Disneyland and Hollywood my whole life. It's Las Vegas that's my favorite trip, though, and partly because I also love driving through the desert. I love the Joshua trees, cactus, all of it.
Cash is king. If cash goes away, so does privacy and free choices.
Is a TV show here in the US that played back in I believe 1959 or'60s😎
I had no idea there is a British Dennis the Menace. Lol
I remember in the late '60's going to get donuts On Sunday mornings then stopping at a store to get Comic books or teen magazines. Those were some good times.
When you mention the British Awards I've never heard of them around anybody here in the states
Motivational speakers... Have you not seen our cheerleaders at high schools and college sports stadiums?
We have 'motivational speakers' coming out of the woodwork at every level. ;)
There was a Captain Britain comic book. This was long after Captain America started, but it's at least a British superhero. It was basically a British version of Captain America, same powers if I recall and same origin possibly.
Lia is great "Joel continues to contradict himself saying how he doesn't like things,and then says he does.
You will be sorely disappointed in 'Hollywood' - however.. however.. if you watch the end credits to any movie.. all the companies mentioned are found there .. usually in dreary non-descript buildings.. The Beverly Hills Hotel is pretty old school hollywood glitz... and there are restaurants and clubs sprinkled around the area - but it's not gonna wow you
I honestly hate to take visitors to Hollywood Blvd. to see the stars in the sidewalk. It’s not the best street in L.A. - it’s pretty grubby & rough around the edges , but there are some good theaters there. If I’m seeing a play there I’d go, but if not, I try to avoid that area altogether. So many better places to see, but people love to look at the stars…
I use to watch these 2 and it got old fast. Millie and James you do not sound like these 2. They are uppity and even though they went to America all they can do is insult. There were many times in this that they said something nice and then put in a "but". They really were not envious in any way. I have many family members in England and they never talk like that over there or when they are visiting America.
Marvel and DC comics were the major creators of super heros
I always thought Brits were very confident. There’s also nothing like British sense of humor. My great grandmother migrated from London to America when she was 17, she lived to be 104yrs old, had her sound mind & sense of humor till the end.
Confidence.? Honestly, I've never thought about it really. I was raised down south and from the time I was little, I was told to speak to people that are around you. I pass people, and generally say" Hey , how's it going? " We just try to do our best, be our best. Sometimes it doesn't happen but we tried it. Tomorrow is a new day.
I dont know who those people are y'all are watching, but I tuned them out. They started rambling, I checked out.😂 I cant respond to the rest cause I was waiting for them to stop.
I find in larger cities such as Toronto and Vancouver, people are less likely to start a conversation or engage in small talk where as in smaller communities that's not necessarily the case.
Barbecue is low and slow only. Some call barbecuing when they are grilling, different things. I worked in a top-notch restaurant, and steaks were cooked on a broiler (kinda a grill). Had cooks on sauté station, and another was the broilerman.
Joel and Lia lived in London. They are looking from that perspective.
Greetings from Colorado, USA!!!✌I'm glad you made it over here and got to see a bit of America! Your sweet little boy is precious! Love watching your videos! I'v been subscribed for awhile now. Thank you so much, and come back soon!!
The 1800s British theatre was mostly variety shows. Basically half the acts were classics but the other half were just novelty acts that showed dances that were just fun and entertaining. Usually it was serious then funny back to back. The troops that did these never stayed that long because it near wartime again. So you get a week of shows then they move on. Some actors did well but others did not because of their experience only in one genre. You got skits like the horse trot, the bear, and some stand up comedy but also snippets of Shakespeare or very heavy plays.
Lol!!!!! American Movies and TV shows are made all over the freaking world. Let alone all over the country. I live in a small town in oklahoma. Over 50 major movies, have been made here. Blockbusters even
I could not be a barber. I am an introvert and WILL NOT strike up a conversation with a stranger. When I get my haircut. I close my eyes after some small talk and basically take a nap.
They were a bit long winded but are the sweetest ppl though so I could enjoy sitting a day with them❤
You really need to see Hamilton. It’s a history lesson and a fun time. Hamilton actually allows some audience participation in verses as it help the story move along.
Hamilton is my favorite show of all time. Seeing it live is the best.
I refuse to see Hamilton because of its utterly inaccurate portrayal of Jefferson. I don’t need a derivative Hip Hop show to rewrite our history
"Hamilton" is a ridiculous show. It started out here in NYC. I guess it was for the tourist crowd as no one that I know wanted to check it out. It's made-up history - more like fantasy.
The Brits had some really great Rock especially in the late sixties through the early seventies and they also had really good New Wave Music
We got to see the opening of Mama Mia on Broadway, it was brilliant. Someone in the audience had consumed a tad too much alcohol and thought it was a sing-along-long. Only a couple lines into the first song a very quiet, but solemn, man came over and whispered in this man’s ear. They quietly got up and followed him out.
I really want to know what he said to get this couple to leave so quick and quietly. They were directly in from of us, we were glad to see them go, but still’d like to know how this man made that happen.
Sing in your head, don’t disrupt everyone else’s experience, just because alcohol lied to you and told you can sing like Maria Carrie, YOU CAN’T!
Love the comparison of Joel to Forest Gump! LOL
Judge Dredd is an extremely popular comic.
