BONUS - Global Survey Reveals What the World Thinks Americans Do Best

A hilarious new international survey reveals what people around the globe think Americans truly excel at—and some of the answers hit a little too close to home. From over-the-top gender reveal parties and red Solo cup culture to turning minor inconveniences into lifestyle brands, this episode of The Jubal Show dives into the quirks and clichés that define American behavior.

We break down the global perception of U.S. habits like:

• Melting cheese on everything

• Hoarding bulk items like it’s doomsday

• Avoiding vacation days (even when we have them)

• Racking up credit card points like a badge of honor

• And of course—dominating the fast food game

With plenty of laughter and “yep, that’s us” moments, this segment highlights the strange, funny, and sometimes concerning ways Americans stand out on the world stage. Grab your giant soda and join the ride.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I think Americans are the global leaders in yelling whoo
in every social setting. That's a text message. We just
got in at four one oh six one because they
just did a survey asking citizens from other countries what
things Americans do better than any other country. Oh, what's
the number one thing that people across the world think
Americans are the best at. We'll tell you in a second,

(00:21):
but first let's go over some of the other things
that citizens of different countries think that we're great at.
Really are throwing gender reveal parties that end in flames.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
That was on the list that people think.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
We're great at, and they're not wrong. No, Americans are
very good at that.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Do other countries also do gender reveal parties? Or is
that really just an American thing? I think it's the
fact that ours always, for some reason, do sometimes end
in flames, Like people will put like firecrackers to like
forests or like trylie background.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, and then there was a plane crash one time
because of a gender reveal thing. Yeah, yes, insane what
people will do.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Somebody said, only in America can it's a boy be
followed by a wildfire. And at this point it's less
of a celebration and more of a pyrotechnic competition. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Again, they're not wrong about that.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Man when the drones capture it though, it's pretty.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Impressive sometimes what people can do. Are you not entertained?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
They just did a survey asking people from other countries
what they think Americans are the best at. And here's
another one, turning minor inconveniences into personality traits.

Speaker 4 (01:30):
But like, like example.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
It just says I hate mornings becomes a full blown
identity with a coffee mug shirt and a bumper sticker.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Also mild lactose intolerance. I'm basically dying, but I'm still
gonna eat the mac and cheese real yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Are cute. I feel sorry for those ones because cheese
is just so good.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
This is what the rest of the world thinks of us.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
They just did a survey asking people from other countries
what they think Americans are the best at. Buying in bulk,
like they're stalking for a bunker. That was another thing
that they said.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
We are really great at that. And it is a
fun invention. Man load up the car and let's roll
to Costco.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Yeah, it says, who needs one bottle? Of ketchup when
you can get three gallon jug at Costco.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Why do we do that?

Speaker 2 (02:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
It's kind of exciting too, write, especially when you get
all the toilet paper. I love looking at all of
the shelves just stucked with toilet paper and paper towels
like this is nice. I mean maybe it's wasteful too,
I'm not sure, but it like it feels good.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Well, all these suckers from other countries aren't going to
be prepared when doomsday comes, are they.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
I mean they go to the store every day like
they do both, like shop for weeks at a time.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
They go, Okay, what am I at for dinner tonight,
I'll go get that at the store today. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
They eat fresh or whatever over there, we also do.
It's called subway suckers.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
You can go there every day and many people do.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
You're right, we're going over a survey of what the
rest of the world thinks about US Americans and what
were the best at Another person said drinking from red
solo cups like it's a national sport.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
I mean, come on, on the fourth of July, who's
not playing beer pong and drinking out of those cups.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
No other country associates one specific cup with partying this hard.
You haven't truly celebrated in the US unless someone played
beer pong with the little warm light beer in a
driveway warm and.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
We always don't like think about that cup and then
it just gets warm after refrigerated.

Speaker 4 (03:32):
No I know, but like business.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Idea, a refrigerated beer pong table.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
The solo cups.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
It's too cold, then you chug it. If you can't
chug it as fast.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
But I kind of because you could use the table
for other things too.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
You can chill your booty.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
What you see what.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
I'm saying, because when it gets hot and you got
another thing that the rest of the world thinks that
Americans are the best at inventing ways to add cheese
to everything.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yes, I'm here for that, and we take that crown
please and put cheese on it.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Apple pie?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Thank you?

Speaker 4 (04:12):
Wait what shut the cheese on apple pie? Melt? That
sucka You're alone there.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
I think I'm not going to join you on that island.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
You're not American, are you?

Speaker 1 (04:20):
If it's edible, Americans have tried melting cheese on it,
salad cheese, donut cheese, coffee.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
Not yet, but.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Actually no, there is like a weird crumbly cheese some
people put in their coffee.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Really yeah, yeah, we do put cheese on everything.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Oh there is coffee cheesecake.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Oh, there you go.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
That's if you're to go to another country and you
go to a restaurant, you realize how little cheese they
put in things.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's nuts it straight up. I saw a picture of
a pizza from Italy the other day. It had you
could see some of the red sauce on it. I
was like, what is that. That's not a pizza.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
You shouldn't go to see the sauce. It's the fresh
mot you should be covered in.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Geez, what do you do?

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Here's another thing from this survey where they ask people
from all over the world what they think Americans are
great at. They said, avoiding using vacation days.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
We don't have them.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
For you to say you got six months of vacation
for no reason.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
We do get a few vacation days, but a lot
of times people don't take them.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Which is very unfortunate because there's a story today that
says that if you work more than fifty hours a week,
you actually are breaking your brain.

Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah, well, no danger of that in this room. It
bro You know.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
People are like, I, dude, I grind non stop. I'm
working twenty four hours a day. Oh your brain damage. Yeah,
I'm chilling. I'm on vacation and I still worked eight
hours today. What do the rest of the world think
that Americans are great at? Using credit cards is also
on the list. Yes, because Americans are all heavily on

(05:58):
credit cards for every day spending. The US has more
credit debt per capita than most countries.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Use credit cards, They probably don't glorify it the way
that we do here.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Get points. You just qualified for a new card. It's
pretty It makes you feel special. I'm like, oh my gosh,
I qualified, Thank you.

Speaker 5 (06:15):
Okay, I did.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
It's number one thing according to the survey from citizens
all over the world of what they think America is
the best at, saying, it should be no surprise consuming
fast food. The US has the highest per capita rates
of fast food consumption. Change like McDonald's, Burger King, and
Taco Bell are deeply embedded in American daily life. Absolutely, guy,

(06:41):
Have you ever taken anybody from another country to one
of our fast food places?

Speaker 2 (06:45):
It will blow their mind. Besides their mind.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Yeah, be sizes.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
I took an Australian dude through McDonald's drive through one
time because they wanted to try it, and you got
a medium soda.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Like mate, I said medium. I was like, that is
a medium? That were they give you for the larger
swimming pool.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Basically pretty much
