The Detroit Lions gave a special shoutout this week to two unexpected, but wildly popular, visitors to the state of Michigan.
In a post shared on social media, Detroit Lions and Ford Field welcomed Josh and Jase, a British travel duo who have gone viral during their recent journey across the Mitten State.
“All of Michigan has loved having you here, and so did we,” Ford Field wrote, alongside a photo of the pair standing on the Lions’ home turf.
We are speechless… wow! 🥹 pic.twitter.com/ESdgip9XaE

So… Who Are Josh and Jase?
Josh and Jase are UK-based content creators who document their travels across the United States, focusing on small towns, local food, and everyday American culture. Their appeal isn’t flashy production or influencer hype, it’s authenticity.
They walk into diners, talk to locals, explore places most tourists skip, and let each location tell its own story. That approach has earned them a massive following and, lately, a near-legendary status in Michigan.
Why Michigan Fell in Love With Them
Over the past several weeks, Josh and Jase have been spotted all over the state — from lakeshore towns and downtown districts to neighborhood restaurants and hidden gems. Social media quickly turned their trip into a statewide scavenger hunt, with fans tracking sightings, sharing videos, and welcoming them like hometown heroes.
At some point, their Michigan tour crossed from “cool travel content” into full-blown cultural moment.
Ford Field Makes It Official
Their visit to Ford Field felt like a milestone.
Standing on the turf inside one of the NFL’s most iconic indoor stadiums, Josh and Jase officially reached “you’ve made it” status in Michigan. When an NFL franchise publicly welcomes you, it’s safe to say the state has embraced you.
The Bottom Line
Josh and Jase didn’t come to Michigan chasing headlines — but they left with them anyway.
By leaning into the people, places, and personality of the state, they turned a travel stop into something much bigger. And with the Detroit Lions now welcoming them to Ford Field, their Michigan chapter has officially become part of the story.
Honorary Lions?
Michigan seems to think so.

This is so awesome! I have not been to Foord Field myself but that’s why I signed up to join Josh and Have on their journey. I’m from Michigan and wanted to see their journey of what I’ve missed in Michigan.
