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 RUclips 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.
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
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 👍🤝
You chose the best city to end in, those guys from YO1 Radio did our fellow countrymen proud with their hospitality towards you. An amazing series of vlogs these have been Joel and thankyou for sharing each day in our beloved country.
@@joanie3452 Wayne Chadwick. I think you're conflating being a fast-paced radio presenter (they have to keep a segment to plan in a relatively short window) with being rude.
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?
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!
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. 😁👍😉
York is an amazing city and for me as a Norwegian, it's even got some viking history as well, which is really cool. It's got the Yorvik Viking Museum (idk if you guys were there) and the story about how Scots and Englishmen didn't get along to the point where Scots had to knock on the wall to get through, is particularly interesting as I've got Scottish roots as well. I've been to York twice, in 2010 and 2013 respectively on study trips courtesy of the University of Bergen and I have tons of awesome memories from these trips. I recognize the fountain, the cathedral and the church ruins you guys saw and it feels like being right back in York! I sadly never went to the top of Clifford's Tower but the view from up there does indeed look amazing! Hopefully someday when I go back to York I'll check it out because I definitely want to come back to this amazing city! You ate some amazing food it seems as well and the locals seemed really nice too! And how cool that the radio station interviewing you also showed you the sights of York and you look really good repping their shirt! I've bookmarked their website and will definitely give their radio station a listen. It's been a fun experience getting to come along with you and Will on your journey around the UK, you must be filled with so many memories and impressions from everything you've seen and done during your time in the UK! :)
I remember about 10+ yrs ago i was at my friend's sisters house,i had all my Christmas dinner in a Yorkshire pudding used as the deep dish it was lovely, greetings from Cornwall 💙💎🕊️
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.
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 .
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? 😄
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!
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
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.
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.
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. 🙏👍
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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 RUclips. 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 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.
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!
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 👍🍺🇬🇧🙏
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
Joel and Will, what a fantastic set of videos you have given us. Many thanks for showing us your week in the UK and hope to see more in the future. I bet Mum and Dad were pleased to see you back and a really big thanks to Will for not just the camera work but also for being there for you should you have run into any problems.
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
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
10/10 lads…my favourite vid of yours…amusing, informative,great quality…hope your trip back to US was ok..looking forward to more of your travel vids..
It has been wonderful following your progress throughout your visit to the UK, and seeing my country with your fresh perspective. Thrilled at just how much you enjoyed and appreciated the scenery. Hope you come back again soon, and maybe next time you will visit us in Manchester. Best wishes to Will and thanks for his excellent camera work.
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 from England and I watch your videos and have done for a long time you and will were great in how you was so interested in trying new things. I hope one day you both come back again and you enjoyed the trip here as much as I enjoyed watching you guys also I’ve not been to many places that you visited so I’ll have to travel and have a look myself . Best wishes guys from the UK thank you for coming and peace out to you both x
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 🇬🇧
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.
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.
I came across these videos of your tour by chance and thoroughly enjoyed them! You're obviously both very well brought up, polite and open minded guys. I'm so pleased you had an amazing time 👍🏾 I'm an Anglo-Caribbean man born in the UK living in the beautiful countryside of Somerset and I can relate to the idea of pre conceived notions only to find out that most people are really nice 😊 Hope you make it back here some day and good luck in everything you do 😁👍🏾
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.
Hi really enjoyed yours and wills journey in our country visiting different cities and new adventures hope you enjoyed our country as much as we enjoyed your videos snd adventures have a safe trip back home 😀
Love that you made it to York. I'm a Yorkshire lass living in Canada. I live so close to York growing up. It's my 'hood. So I was sooooo excited to watch the video. The accent is like balm to my soul. Yorkshire folk are the salt of the earth...decent, friendly, wholesome people. I'm glad they demonstrated their natural generosity towards you, on your visit. X
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 !!!
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.
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! 😉
York's a lovely city built to a Roman grid layout then built over by each group that then controlled it. There are still the old Roman sewers which can be accessed via basements and there is even a basement in a pub with a skeleton in it.
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.
It's been a great journey!! Thanks for sharing with it us all! You've both been on a real rollercoaster ride through Britain, hopefully it won't be too long before you come back!
Glad you had so much fun Joel! It turned out to be a lot of fun for the rest of us as well! Reminded me so much of my trips to Edinburgh, York and Bath about 3 decades ago. Hope you get another chance before too long and can stay longer!
Awesome videos Joel, glad you and Will had an amazing time. We are off to York in September and so looking forward to it. Next time in England come to the beautiful Devon and Cornwall with our beautiful beaches.
I used to live near York, 60+ years ago and used to often go to the top of Clifford Tower, it used to be in the bus station. Back then though, there were NO railings or wooden floor at the top! I found your speech at the end , "This was a life changing time" as I wrote something very similar when I was 21 and my parents bought me a trip from Wales to do a 14 day tour of the US to watch the launch of Apollo Xl . I wrote it down as we were waiting to take off for the trip back home from JFK. As it turned out , it was a life changing trip for me as I ended up moving to Canada !
Well done guys, what an adventure. I've alot of admiration there too. This series of diary of your travels were brilliant. And we look forward to welcoming you back to the UK soon for the next venture
Great series. I just watched all of your trip back to back wholesome stuff to watch such an enthusiastic and well cultured young American enjoy the uk.
Joel and Will are, despite their young age, the best mannered US Americans I have seen on RUclips. 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.
@@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.
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.😘🙋
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.
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
So pleased you enjoyed York. As always said, us Northerners are a friendly bunch. Sunday dinner yes, not Sunday roast looked delicious. I believe the thing you called a chip was parsnip and the bacon wrapped around sausage is called pigs in blankets. Your potatoes were roast potatoes. Cover in hot fat/oil salt and roast in the oven. Some say par (part) boil first.
Yup part boil, drain then give 'em a little shake to rough them up and make the surfaces a bit gnarly to form the ultimate crisp shell with fluffy spud in the middle when you baste them in the hot meat fat from the roast and bung 'em in the oven while the meat rests.
I never parboil the potatoes prior to roasting them, but always use duck or goose fat when cooking them, and I've only ever been complimented on them... They generally only take an hour on the floor of the oven whilst the meat is in. But cook them how you like them; as with a lot of these things, there is no right or wrong way...
Really enjoyed watching your travels Joel, and it looks like you had a good time as well. My Mum was a British war bride and she made us a roast beef dinner with Yorkshire pudding every Sunday. I loved Yorkshire pudding so much, I could make a meal of it all on it’s own,
Thanks you both for sharing your journey for someone who lives here I have never been up north so it was a lovely experience I hope you have enjoyed your visit and have a safe journey home and tell your parents I loved the way they got on the radio with you take care both of you x x
Hi Joel,have to say I'm sad it's come to an end as I have loved watching you and Will experience all that you have and the smiles and laughter you have brought me watching you both. Hope you enjoyed your trip to our beautiful island and you loved being here. Would be great to have you back one day,hopefully soon x again thank you Joel and Will
I’ve enjoyed watching your trip to the UK but it’s such a shame you didn’t make it all the way down southwest to Cornwall. You’ll have to plan another trip! Cornwall has stunning views and beaches, rolling hills, castles, harbours, the Eden Project (which includes the largest indoor rainforest in the world) and of course quality pasties and cream teas. You’d love it.
@@vallee3140 I have spent many a week there. It was not expensive at a holiday bungalow near Gulval out of season, when the dogs could go on the beach, but the popularity has raised prices somewhat.
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 RUclips 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. 😂
@@shavedphil The Trip to Olde Jerusalem and the caves under the city are fantastic! I miss going to Nottingham.. 😁
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!)
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.
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
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
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.
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
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 👍🤝

Lovely comment x
That presenter at the radio station wasn't very nice I found him rude tbh.
@@joanie3452 Wayne Chadwick. I think you're conflating being a fast-paced radio presenter (they have to keep a segment to plan in a relatively short window) with being rude.
The YO1 researcher that gave you the tour seemed nice too.
Well done YO1 Radio great job x
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'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 👍👍👍

Glad you enjoyed your visit, come back soon.
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?
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.

Man a Sunday roast wrapped up in a Yorkshire pudding... that is something I didn't know I needed in my life. What a time to be alive
I remember about 10+ yrs ago i was at my friend's sisters house,i had all my Christmas dinner in a Yorkshire pudding used as the deep dish it was lovely, greetings from Cornwall 💙💎🕊️
@@waynen6996 I sussed this out about ten years ago myself and now is the only way to eat a roast 😋.
I'm only going to York for one of those! ❤️
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
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.
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 .
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? 😄
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!
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
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.
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.
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. 🙏👍
Loved watching the pair of you discovering some parts of our country - please come back soon xxx
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.
I must say guys you did an excellent job with with your videos on your visit to the U.K. I enjoyed every video.
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.
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.
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
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
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! 👍❤️
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 RUclips. 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😊
Watching US types struggling with a knife and fork is always entertaining!
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.
So glad you enjoyed york I'm a yorkshire lass and I'm proud of my roots x
God's own county! 🙂
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!
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 👍🍺🇬🇧🙏
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
Joel and Will, what a fantastic set of videos you have given us. Many thanks for showing us your week in the UK and hope to see more in the future. I bet Mum and Dad were pleased to see you back and a really big thanks to Will for not just the camera work but also for being there for you should you have run into any problems.
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
A couple of great guys that kept us all informed and entertained. Has been a joy to watch.
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
10/10 lads…my favourite vid of yours…amusing, informative,great quality…hope your trip back to US was ok..looking forward to more of your travel vids..
It has been wonderful following your progress throughout your visit to the UK, and seeing my country with your fresh perspective. Thrilled at just how much you enjoyed and appreciated the scenery. Hope you come back again soon, and maybe next time you will visit us in Manchester. Best wishes to Will and thanks for his excellent camera work.
I'd love to see Joel visit bigger cities in his next visit. Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol, Brighton, Cardiff etc :)
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.
Love you guys loved your UK adventure it helps us appreciate our beautiful country hopefully you can come back again
I’m from England and I watch your videos and have done for a long time you and will were great in how you was so interested in trying new things. I hope one day you both come back again and you enjoyed the trip here as much as I enjoyed watching you guys also I’ve not been to many places that you visited so I’ll have to travel and have a look myself . Best wishes guys from the UK thank you for coming and peace out to you both x
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 🇬🇧
Followed you every step of the way. You and Will are two great guys and we were lucky to have you visit our shores. Safe journey home
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.
I discovered this channel just as you arrived in England and followed your whole journey, enjoyed every vlog and subscribed, wonderful 👏👏👏
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.
I came across these videos of your tour by chance and thoroughly enjoyed them! You're obviously both very well brought up, polite and open minded guys. I'm so pleased you had an amazing time 👍🏾 I'm an Anglo-Caribbean man born in the UK living in the beautiful countryside of Somerset and I can relate to the idea of pre conceived notions only to find out that most people are really nice 😊 Hope you make it back here some day and good luck in everything you do 😁👍🏾
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.
Hi really enjoyed yours and wills journey in our country visiting different cities and new adventures hope you enjoyed our country as much as we enjoyed your videos snd adventures have a safe trip back home 😀
You must've been truly knackered, that was some itinerary you had ! Stay longer next time Joel .
glad you had a good time Joel! Hope you come back to London to see more of it and maybe even say hi to you haha
So glad you have enjoyed our beautiful country, it’s been a learning curve for the pair of you. Save trip home boys.
Love that you made it to York. I'm a Yorkshire lass living in Canada. I live so close to York growing up. It's my 'hood. So I was sooooo excited to watch the video. The accent is like balm to my soul. Yorkshire folk are the salt of the earth...decent, friendly, wholesome people. I'm glad they demonstrated their natural generosity towards you, on your visit. X
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 !!!
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.
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! 😉
York's a lovely city built to a Roman grid layout then built over by each group that then controlled it. There are still the old Roman sewers which can be accessed via basements and there is even a basement in a pub with a skeleton in it.
Safe Travels Mate. Glad you enjoyed the UK. All the best 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
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.
It's been a great journey!! Thanks for sharing with it us all! You've both been on a real rollercoaster ride through Britain, hopefully it won't be too long before you come back!
I was born just short way from York. So it was great to see it. Live in Sweden now and miss Northern England very much.
Glad you had so much fun Joel! It turned out to be a lot of fun for the rest of us as well! Reminded me so much of my trips to Edinburgh, York and Bath about 3 decades ago. Hope you get another chance before too long and can stay longer!
Awesome videos Joel, glad you and Will had an amazing time. We are off to York in September and so looking forward to it. Next time in England come to the beautiful Devon and Cornwall with our beautiful beaches.
I'm so pleased you enjoyed York, such a lovely city. Us folk 'up North' are generally a nice bunch and usually very friendly 😀😀
I used to live near York, 60+ years ago and used to often go to the top of Clifford Tower, it used to be in the bus station. Back then though, there were NO railings or wooden floor at the top!
I found your speech at the end , "This was a life changing time" as I wrote something very similar when I was 21 and my parents bought me a trip from Wales to do a 14 day tour of the US to watch the launch of Apollo Xl . I wrote it down as we were waiting to take off for the trip back home from JFK. As it turned out , it was a life changing trip for me as I ended up moving to Canada !
this series is great. i've seen other american travel vlogs and this was the most fun
Well done guys, what an adventure. I've alot of admiration there too. This series of diary of your travels were brilliant. And we look forward to welcoming you back to the UK soon for the next venture
Thanks for visiting UK Joel i enjoyed the vlogs .come back soon 🇬🇧
Great series. I just watched all of your trip back to back wholesome stuff to watch such an enthusiastic and well cultured young American enjoy the uk.
Sad your leaving both. Its been great seeing you react to being over here in Blighty! Have a safe trip back guys.
Joel and Will are, despite their young age, the best mannered US Americans I have seen on RUclips. 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.
Brilliant Vlog! Can see by your neck on the train you experienced some British hospitality 😂😂
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
Every Christmas Eve me and my family walk round the city walls for the exercise before eating loads of turkey and rubbish. It normally rains.
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.😘🙋
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.
Great to hear you enjoyed north Yorkshire. 👏🏽
So pleased you had a wonderful time in our green and pleasant land.. it's been an absolute pleasure following you both on this fabulous journey
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. 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
Glad you both really enjoyed our country, hope you both visit again but for longer next time, there's so many more beautiful places.
So pleased you enjoyed York. As always said, us Northerners are a friendly bunch. Sunday dinner yes, not Sunday roast looked delicious. I believe the thing you called a chip was parsnip and the bacon wrapped around sausage is called pigs in blankets. Your potatoes were roast potatoes. Cover in hot fat/oil salt and roast in the oven. Some say par (part) boil first.
Yup part boil, drain then give 'em a little shake to rough them up and make the surfaces a bit gnarly to form the ultimate crisp shell with fluffy spud in the middle when you baste them in the hot meat fat from the roast and bung 'em in the oven while the meat rests.
@@darthwiizius drool
@@darthwiizius Man knows his spuds!
And the orange mash would have been swede and carrots.
I never parboil the potatoes prior to roasting them, but always use duck or goose fat when cooking them, and I've only ever been complimented on them... They generally only take an hour on the floor of the oven whilst the meat is in. But cook them how you like them; as with a lot of these things, there is no right or wrong way...
Really enjoyed watching your travels Joel, and it looks like you had a good time as well. My Mum was a British war bride and she made us a roast beef dinner with Yorkshire pudding every Sunday. I loved Yorkshire pudding so much, I could make a meal of it all on it’s own,
Awww so glad you enjoyed your trip to the UK!! Would love to meet up next time you're over here and you would of course have a place to stay!
My wife and I were married at York Minster in 1977. It’s a great place…and so says a Lancastrian.
Thanks you both for sharing your journey for someone who lives here I have never been up north so it was a lovely experience I hope you have enjoyed your visit and have a safe journey home and tell your parents I loved the way they got on the radio with you take care both of you x x
Hi Joel,have to say I'm sad it's come to an end as I have loved watching you and Will experience all that you have and the smiles and laughter you have brought me watching you both. Hope you enjoyed your trip to our beautiful island and you loved being here. Would be great to have you back one day,hopefully soon x again thank you Joel and Will
What a great tour, so glad it exceeded your expectations apart from a couple of disappointments. Hope you get a chance to come back again.
Midwest Americans and yourself both shared videos from York at a similar time. Would have been awesome if you'd met.
I’ve enjoyed watching your trip to the UK but it’s such a shame you didn’t make it all the way down southwest to Cornwall. You’ll have to plan another trip! Cornwall has stunning views and beaches, rolling hills, castles, harbours, the Eden Project (which includes the largest indoor rainforest in the world) and of course quality pasties and cream teas. You’d love it.
@Katrina Kent. I am from Yorkshire, but recommended Cornwall to Joel.
a week at least there would be needed, so much beauty to see.
@@vallee3140 I have spent many a week there. It was not expensive at a holiday bungalow near Gulval out of season, when the dogs could go on the beach, but the popularity has raised prices somewhat.
A visit to Cornwall would be a whole week on its own, if you wanted to do it justice! 😎
@@alansmithee8831 we used to go to Polzeath every year till the journey got too much, felt like our second home
I just spent 3 years doing my degree in York, such a lovely place, one of the nicest places i've lived, a little expensive especially as a student
