World Cup fans are blown away by 'free refills' in the United States, Gen Z hits massive Vegas pot & MEAT!
The sun is shining bright, the birds are chirping out my window as they get excited for another edition of Screencaps and I completely screwed up the Team USA schedule. Trust me, readers emailed in to correct me.
Team USA-Australia IS THIS FRIDAY at 3 p.m. ET. I want to correct the record on that. The premise remains the same –– we'll get the U.S. Open and Team USA soccer during the same afternoon. Don't even think about going back to work Friday after those lunch beers. Call it a day. You have sports to watch.
Let's get this edition rolling with more of the Europeans losing their minds over the greatness that is the United States. From Walmart to Waffle House and our rodeos, the Euros can't believe how much fun there is to have across the pond. They're even getting free refills and it's blowing their minds.
Take this video from Euro World Cup influencer Leah Ray who is in Dallas for England's match today against Croatia (Fox; 4 p.m. ET). From what I can tell, she bought some sort of frozen mixed drink at an outdoor event for $30, which sounds astronomical, but then she found out there are "free" refills.
"What is the deal with free refills in America?" Leah Ray asks.
We like to be hydrated, Leah, even if it's a frozen mixed drink that has alcohol in it. That means we need to drink at least three to four of them to make up for the hydration the sugar is pulling out. At $30, you drink six of those and you're talking real value. Now, do you see why this is the greatest country in the history of the world?
Leah wasn't only mesmerized by refills. "I love how friendly everyone seems to be in America, always willing to answer your questions when in a lot of countries tour guides have a bad attitude," she wrote on X.
Never forget just how great this country is and why the depressed, angry, vile LIBS hate such praise. They want the U.S. to be as angry, and mean and vile as they are. We cannot let the disgusting LIBS win the war on culture.
– Moron Ken emails: Joe, taking credit for saving Cracker Barrel is like the Atlantic giving Mamdani credit for the Knicks winning the championship. Cracker Barrel didn't change their minds by what you said. They changed their minds because thousands of customers all on their own rejected the CEO's new look and the billion-dollar loss of stock value that followed. Giving yourself credit for something you didn't do is awfully leftist of you.
Kinsey: Yes, Ken really is this stupid. I'm not going to re-litigate this story. OutKick was the very first media outlet in the U.S. to report on Cracker Barrel making its stupid decision to whitewash stores in June 2025. We were the very first media outlet to report on the absolutely stupid hoedown Cracker Barrel threw in New York City. We even ripped CEO Julie Masino's Maddow glasses until she swapped them out to seem less woke.
THURSDAY NIGHT MOWING LEAGUE WANTS 40 MILLION AMERICANS TO STOP WASTING WEEKENDS ON THEIR LAWNS
How does Ken think customers found out about the changes that Cracker Barrel was about to ram through? That's called reporting, Ken. That's what OutKick did very well.
– Will in Mississippi emails: You’ve written about bringing back classic Pizza Huts which I wholeheartedly agree with. As a youngster I can remember going to the Pizza Hut in my hometown (Greenwood, MS) on the all you can eat buffet night and watching football players from Mississippi Valley State University in Itta Bena just destroy the buffet. Truly, it was a thing of beauty to watch those guys eat that much pizza. They kept the kitchen staff busy on those nights.
Kinsey: I have my concerns. I would assume we'll see stores closed and the brand stripped down to the bare bones so the buyers can start to get paid. The company that bought Pizza Hut owns 24-Hour Fitness, so we'll see if there are any crossover events planned.

Kinsey: On the front passenger door, the mother of the groom is begging for people to send her money and congratulations on her son getting married.

And with that, I have to run. Screencaps Jr. had a bike chain issue on the way to basketball open gym while I was writing this edition, so I had to run out and fix that for him. That put me behind a little bit, but I was able to play the role of dad for a minute.
It's Wednesday, we're supposed to get rocked by storms this afternoon and there's soccer to watch. Let's keep the good times rolling. Messi had a hat trick on Tuesday. Who's next?
Go have a great day.
