Dude gets over 1000 comments on every post, God knows how many DMs. I can't imagine trying to keep up with all of that, plus figuring out which are real and which are fake (saw one comment claiming to be the CEO of Southwest or some other airline but if you looked at the profile it was some parody account).

He knows this private jet is valid because they offered to fly him HOU to OKC for concert. He replied and turned them down said he wanted to drive.

Challenge is sorting thru so many DMs. They are trying to find someone who has his number to tell him.

This is real suspense lol.

I’m surprised that there is no Polymarket on whether Freddy will make it to Toronto tomorrow…

Crazy thing is, after Toronto, Germany plays in New York, and I think he said they had plans to be there too. Dude is going to get culture shock within culture shock going from the southeast and Texas to NYC.

She's mb question, but I'm not much of a flyer. He talked about checking bags for the KC-DFW flight. If they get the private jet, how hard is it going to be to get those bags back? Does it depend on if the flight was cancelled (unload the entire cargo space) vs a very lengthy delay (everything stays in the belly of the plane)?

To borrow from Top Gun, dude soloed under a lucky star.

How cool that JJ Watt works out the details for them while they are in the air. Us peasants can only dream.

Everyone wants to help him. The problem is its so many and how can he sift thru his DMs timely. He coulda had a private jet a 2nd time but the jet company CEO didn’t have his number.

JJ Watt had his number so thats likely why he was the one to make it happen, mainly because he was only one who could get ahold of him.

One thing I like is Freddy isn’t over posting. He was just going to document his trip but his trip just took off because of how sincere he was and not filming himself (his camera is usually facing outwards not inwards). That resonated with folks and separated him from majority of clout chasers. And its taken on a life of its own.

Americans are proud of our country and him being able to reaffirm that thru his travels is pretty cool. A decent segment of our country doesn’t appreciate it but a majority of our country does. And he’s showing our hospitality and human side like no one else can just due to circumstances.

I love that companies and people are stepping up. Its really a cool story of one visitor who spent over 2 years planning his trip. Rare do we get an honest glimpse of real America like this. We are a greater country than most press wants you to believe.

Not how JJ Watt saved the franchise Friday night, but how his in auspicious part of the story began.

^^^^

He’s really enjoying the trip and all the people who have done things. He always blocks out his face too unlike most attention grabbers.

Here’s a back and forth with someone meeting him at OKC airport. Gavan is just another normal dude only has 320 followers so just a normal encounter.

Absolutely love that you hid their faces. It shows how much people respect their privacy. How was your encounter with them, by the way?


Gavan Byrd
@gabyrd22
Just respecting their wishes. I think it surprised them that I spotted them. But they were very friendly and I think overwhelmed with all the attention their American journey has brought to them.


David Bezic
@junkbond2000
How did you recognize them? Or were they wearing big smiley face masks?


Gavan Byrd
@gabyrd22
OKC is a small airport. And I thought they looked like two German tourists. So I just asked. But didn’t draw any attention to them or our conversation.

Wait, what did they do with the 3rd one?


Gavan Byrd
@gabyrd22
They told me that the third buddy had to fly home to Germany to get back to his job
