WEBVTT

00:00:18.388 --> 00:00:18.628
Thank you.

00:00:37.704 --> 00:00:38.485
Hey, y'all.

00:00:38.606 --> 00:00:40.726
It's me, Tara Strong, a.k.a.

00:00:40.807 --> 00:00:42.749
Miss Minutes for Bama Geeks.

00:00:43.228 --> 00:00:44.210
I hope you're ready to watch,

00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:45.110
and if you don't,

00:00:45.490 --> 00:00:46.771
I will have to prune you.

00:00:47.093 --> 00:00:49.353
Stay on your sacred timeline.

00:00:56.780 --> 00:00:58.161
And hello.

00:00:58.521 --> 00:00:58.822
Hi.

00:00:59.201 --> 00:01:01.965
Howdy.

00:01:02.645 --> 00:01:04.186
How's everybody recovering from the time

00:01:04.206 --> 00:01:04.587
change?

00:01:06.325 --> 00:01:07.527
One minute into the future.

00:01:07.546 --> 00:01:09.769
Doing all right, I think.

00:01:09.789 --> 00:01:10.368
Great Scott.

00:01:10.409 --> 00:01:12.471
Yeah.

00:01:12.490 --> 00:01:13.891
I didn't really affect me.

00:01:13.992 --> 00:01:14.673
I mean,

00:01:14.753 --> 00:01:15.853
I guess it's a good thing that it

00:01:16.013 --> 00:01:17.094
changes on the weekend.

00:01:17.456 --> 00:01:17.676
You know,

00:01:17.695 --> 00:01:19.096
we just lose the hour instead of like

00:01:19.137 --> 00:01:20.698
losing it on Sunday night.

00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:21.239
That would suck.

00:01:21.278 --> 00:01:21.358
Yeah.

00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:23.221
Yeah.

00:01:23.260 --> 00:01:24.882
My favorite one I saw was Devo's reminding

00:01:24.902 --> 00:01:26.603
you tomorrow to go forward and move ahead.

00:01:26.664 --> 00:01:27.665
Mm hmm.

00:01:30.019 --> 00:01:32.262
Yeah, it really, normally I hate it,

00:01:32.882 --> 00:01:35.102
but I'm now the age where I crave

00:01:35.123 --> 00:01:36.463
the afternoon daylight.

00:01:36.605 --> 00:01:37.745
So I'm happy it's here.

00:01:38.525 --> 00:01:39.667
And I don't know,

00:01:39.706 --> 00:01:42.328
today just kind of our sleeping pattern

00:01:42.367 --> 00:01:42.968
last night.

00:01:43.049 --> 00:01:43.888
And then today,

00:01:43.948 --> 00:01:45.170
I guess because we were so tired

00:01:46.010 --> 00:01:46.631
yesterday,

00:01:46.932 --> 00:01:50.493
we just slept really hard and a lot.

00:01:50.614 --> 00:01:52.915
And so it really hadn't bugged me at

00:01:52.956 --> 00:01:53.316
all yet.

00:01:53.855 --> 00:01:54.075
No,

00:01:54.537 --> 00:01:56.457
I hadn't had a problem today at all.

00:01:57.379 --> 00:01:58.859
That probably bothered me less.

00:01:59.890 --> 00:02:01.772
now because I'm still readjusting to this

00:02:01.811 --> 00:02:02.712
time.

00:02:04.575 --> 00:02:05.016
That's true.

00:02:05.996 --> 00:02:06.456
That's true.

00:02:07.506 --> 00:02:09.667
But welcome into Bama Geeks.

00:02:09.926 --> 00:02:11.728
It feels like seven o'clock,

00:02:11.768 --> 00:02:13.508
but it's eight o'clock central time.

00:02:14.430 --> 00:02:15.550
And so that means we're here.

00:02:15.591 --> 00:02:18.292
We're live on YouTube X and Twitch with

00:02:18.312 --> 00:02:18.472
you.

00:02:18.512 --> 00:02:19.793
We thank you for being here.

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:33.681

As Dan Housen says, no cursing.

00:03:45.254 --> 00:03:46.776
That's right.

00:03:46.796 --> 00:03:48.437
You can leave us a message.

00:03:48.478 --> 00:03:51.100
We'll play it on the stream for you.

00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:52.062
We might.

00:03:52.301 --> 00:03:52.723
We might.

00:03:53.082 --> 00:03:56.066
And I know that most everybody that is

00:03:56.126 --> 00:03:58.268
listening to this is our age anyway,

00:03:58.307 --> 00:03:58.729
probably.

00:03:59.049 --> 00:04:00.491
So you guys know how to use phones.

00:04:01.350 --> 00:04:02.652
Younger generations don't know how to use

00:04:02.673 --> 00:04:02.973
phones.

00:04:03.252 --> 00:04:05.656
So you guys know how to leave voicemails.

00:04:07.409 --> 00:04:08.311
They know how to use it,

00:04:08.330 --> 00:04:09.852
but some reason why people are scared to

00:04:09.891 --> 00:04:11.051
speak on the phone nowadays.

00:04:11.072 --> 00:04:11.973
Yeah, it's crazy.

00:04:12.052 --> 00:04:12.552
That's me.

00:04:13.653 --> 00:04:14.495
I've become that way.

00:04:14.694 --> 00:04:15.975
I'd rather text.

00:04:16.156 --> 00:04:17.817
Yeah, I'd rather have somebody text me.

00:04:17.857 --> 00:04:18.416
Don't call me.

00:04:18.658 --> 00:04:20.077
Text me.

00:04:20.139 --> 00:04:21.699
And I'll get back to you on my

00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:22.060
time.

00:04:23.380 --> 00:04:24.862
I just assume you're spam when you do

00:04:24.882 --> 00:04:25.101
that.

00:04:25.322 --> 00:04:26.562
Whenever somebody sends me something,

00:04:26.603 --> 00:04:27.704
it's like, you've got to be spam.

00:04:27.723 --> 00:04:29.785
Are there other people who call anymore?

00:04:30.846 --> 00:04:31.086
Yeah,

00:04:31.105 --> 00:04:32.146
I automatically assume you're a

00:04:32.166 --> 00:04:32.766
telemarketer.

00:04:33.127 --> 00:04:34.168
Or the dentist office.

00:04:34.668 --> 00:04:35.329
They're really good at that.

00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:36.600
Hey,

00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.122
unknown callers are silenced and calls are

00:04:39.182 --> 00:04:42.122
screened coming into my phone now.

00:04:42.983 --> 00:04:44.204
And I don't know if it's just on

00:04:44.384 --> 00:04:44.824
iOS,

00:04:44.845 --> 00:04:46.225
but they've got a new feature where

00:04:46.985 --> 00:04:48.927
people, it won't answer.

00:04:49.427 --> 00:04:50.247
It'll ring your phone,

00:04:50.307 --> 00:04:52.869
but it won't answer until they give a

00:04:52.968 --> 00:04:53.430
reason.

00:04:53.509 --> 00:04:55.151
And then it transcribes the reason for

00:04:55.190 --> 00:04:56.891
calling on the phone, on the screen.

00:04:57.291 --> 00:04:58.291
And then you can pick up.

00:04:58.351 --> 00:04:59.213
Yeah.

00:04:59.312 --> 00:05:00.834
I'm screening calls all the time, y'all.

00:05:00.954 --> 00:05:01.093
Yeah.

00:05:01.843 --> 00:05:03.946
I do like me making calls at work.

00:05:04.045 --> 00:05:04.987
I have to do that several times.

00:05:05.007 --> 00:05:05.228
It's like,

00:05:05.288 --> 00:05:07.490
please state your name and the reason for

00:05:07.511 --> 00:05:07.951
your call.

00:05:07.971 --> 00:05:10.375
And I'll see if this person is available.

00:05:10.396 --> 00:05:10.975
That's what it says.

00:05:13.372 --> 00:05:15.153
yeah okay cool yeah yeah i've got a

00:05:15.173 --> 00:05:18.595
google pixel and with with a google five

00:05:18.634 --> 00:05:20.016
there they do that as well it's like

00:05:20.055 --> 00:05:21.836
built into it and it'll just automatically

00:05:21.877 --> 00:05:24.958
screen uh as well and it's it's like

00:05:25.038 --> 00:05:27.218
it's it's not just that smart as well

00:05:27.278 --> 00:05:29.279
too so it likes it'll play it back

00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:30.860
to you it'll like you can sit there

00:05:30.880 --> 00:05:32.502
and watch on your phone what they're

00:05:32.541 --> 00:05:34.642
saying oh yeah immediately it's really

00:05:34.663 --> 00:05:34.762
cool

00:05:35.956 --> 00:05:36.076
Yeah,

00:05:36.156 --> 00:05:37.836
I had this unknown number at work call

00:05:37.857 --> 00:05:38.536
me the other day.

00:05:39.177 --> 00:05:41.338
We were getting ready for an event and

00:05:41.478 --> 00:05:44.598
it was calling and I wouldn't answer it

00:05:44.619 --> 00:05:45.819
because I didn't recognize the number.

00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:47.360
Turns out it was the guy who was

00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:48.240
delivering our food.

00:05:48.661 --> 00:05:50.100
And so finally on the third time,

00:05:50.581 --> 00:05:51.961
he finally said,

00:05:52.461 --> 00:05:54.081
I'm here to deliver your food.

00:05:54.101 --> 00:05:56.002
I picked it up like, I'm so sorry.

00:05:56.483 --> 00:05:56.603
Yeah,

00:05:56.622 --> 00:05:57.983
I didn't recognize your number and I'm not

00:05:58.004 --> 00:05:58.504
going to pick up.

00:05:58.603 --> 00:05:58.983

House on Haunted Hill poster I found.

00:07:21.576 --> 00:07:22.137
I want that.

00:07:22.158 --> 00:07:23.718
Where do we find that?

00:07:24.059 --> 00:07:24.999
I don't know who made that,

00:07:25.019 --> 00:07:27.220
but I was just like, no, this audience,

00:07:27.500 --> 00:07:28.841
this group needs to see this.

00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:29.922
This is appreciated here.

00:07:30.122 --> 00:07:31.343
Yeah, absolutely.

00:07:31.642 --> 00:07:33.004
I would hang that in my bathroom.

00:07:33.024 --> 00:07:35.345
That'd be amazing.

00:07:35.365 --> 00:07:36.725
Well, scattered and covered.

00:07:38.747 --> 00:07:39.648
Talk amongst yourselves.

00:07:39.668 --> 00:07:40.307
I'll be right back.

00:07:40.807 --> 00:07:42.028
Well, the way you're going, all right.

00:07:42.569 --> 00:07:44.810
But anyway, she's going to get her mug,

00:07:44.891 --> 00:07:46.211
I bet.

00:07:46.252 --> 00:07:46.791
Did I ruin it?

00:07:51.406 --> 00:07:52.487
So anyway, speaking of Mike,

00:07:52.526 --> 00:07:54.646
thank you so much to Jamie and Mike

00:07:54.726 --> 00:07:56.387

00:08:22.632 --> 00:08:23.153
You can find it.

00:08:23.752 --> 00:08:24.853
I just wanted to share one of my

00:08:24.934 --> 00:08:26.615
recent estate sale finds.

00:08:28.156 --> 00:08:29.115
I was a big spender.

00:08:31.577 --> 00:08:32.158
Nice.

00:08:33.578 --> 00:08:36.360
I paid fifty cents for this.

00:08:36.400 --> 00:08:38.101
That's like an early two thousands Waffle

00:08:38.121 --> 00:08:38.522
House cup.

00:08:38.542 --> 00:08:38.761
Yeah,

00:08:38.782 --> 00:08:40.363
they don't look either like that now.

00:08:40.884 --> 00:08:43.207
Well, they are still on the website.

00:08:44.809 --> 00:08:45.630
In that design?

00:08:46.371 --> 00:08:46.552
Yeah.

00:08:46.631 --> 00:08:47.734
I think so.

00:08:47.813 --> 00:08:50.037
And they want like, you know, fifteen,

00:08:50.356 --> 00:08:52.559
twenty bucks for it.

00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:53.140
Fifty cents.

00:08:53.461 --> 00:08:55.043
Somebody probably stole that from Waffle

00:08:55.062 --> 00:08:55.464
House anyway.

00:08:55.504 --> 00:08:57.687
Let's be real.

00:08:57.947 --> 00:08:58.548
They might have.

00:08:59.788 --> 00:09:01.590
old people just walked up walked right on

00:09:01.669 --> 00:09:06.413

00:09:18.086 --> 00:09:19.447
Well, Mike, again, thank you for the, uh,

00:09:19.707 --> 00:09:20.489
the super chat.

00:09:20.548 --> 00:09:21.389

00:09:21.409 --> 00:09:21.970

Sunday night hangout.

00:09:30.918 --> 00:09:31.238
That's right.

00:09:31.258 --> 00:09:32.599
It's going to be a Sunday night hangout

00:09:32.658 --> 00:09:33.078
tonight.

00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.662
Cause the two gentlemen down there,

00:09:36.261 --> 00:09:39.625
they took some big old trips, uh,

00:09:39.705 --> 00:09:41.145
over the last couple of weeks since we've

00:09:41.186 --> 00:09:41.927
not been around.

00:09:42.067 --> 00:09:42.687
And I really.

00:09:43.950 --> 00:09:45.291
we have not talked about it we haven't

00:09:45.331 --> 00:09:48.091
heard how they've gone we want the world

00:09:48.172 --> 00:09:53.472
exclusive the Alabama exclusive now Bo is

00:09:53.572 --> 00:09:56.313
added to the elite group of us that

00:09:56.354 --> 00:09:58.715
have been to New York City so Bo

00:09:58.735 --> 00:10:01.255
finally checked that off of his bucket

00:10:01.296 --> 00:10:03.697
list there we were saying it earlier Bo

00:10:04.096 --> 00:10:05.537
Bo flew to New York and when he

00:10:05.576 --> 00:10:08.437
got there boy were his arms tired yes

00:10:11.653 --> 00:10:12.293
So you want me to,

00:10:12.352 --> 00:10:14.394
you want me to lead for the conversation

00:10:14.433 --> 00:10:14.793
tonight?

00:10:16.355 --> 00:10:17.695
I guess I'll get the lead into me.

00:10:17.715 --> 00:10:17.794
Yeah.

00:10:17.815 --> 00:10:19.995
We'll let you guys just have fun with

00:10:20.015 --> 00:10:20.056
it.

00:10:20.076 --> 00:10:20.836
All right.

00:10:20.876 --> 00:10:22.437
Well, I guess for me, I guess, yeah,

00:10:22.456 --> 00:10:23.317
like I said, I, uh,

00:10:23.357 --> 00:10:24.477
got to knock two big things.

00:10:24.498 --> 00:10:26.198
Like I, you know, uh, first of all,

00:10:26.298 --> 00:10:27.438
I, I am, like I said,

00:10:27.479 --> 00:10:28.220
as of recording this,

00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:30.941
I am forty four years old and I

00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:32.260
flew on the plane for the very first

00:10:32.301 --> 00:10:32.561
time.

00:10:32.640 --> 00:10:33.802
Never been scared of flying.

00:10:33.861 --> 00:10:34.881
I just never,

00:10:35.383 --> 00:10:37.663
we always drove or we took a plane.

00:10:37.702 --> 00:10:38.823
I've been on a cruise, been on.

00:10:39.163 --> 00:10:40.504
you know, very forms of transportation,

00:10:40.524 --> 00:10:41.524
but not flying.

00:10:41.605 --> 00:10:41.884
So,

00:10:42.705 --> 00:10:43.926
and I think I was always not really

00:10:44.145 --> 00:10:45.806
not, not scared of flying.

00:10:45.826 --> 00:10:46.647
I just hadn't done it.

00:10:46.667 --> 00:10:48.126
So I was just nervous about doing it.

00:10:49.628 --> 00:10:51.048
It was actually, it was, you know,

00:10:51.067 --> 00:10:52.327
it was, you know, I was a little,

00:10:52.688 --> 00:10:53.849
little anxious just cause you know,

00:10:53.889 --> 00:10:54.908
it's something you've never done.

00:10:54.928 --> 00:10:55.990
Right.

00:10:56.009 --> 00:10:57.649
But it was, uh, like I said, for,

00:10:57.690 --> 00:10:58.591
for my first time flying,

00:10:58.610 --> 00:10:59.311
I have to say it was,

00:10:59.551 --> 00:11:01.412
it was not, not as, uh, not,

00:11:01.552 --> 00:11:02.351
not as like, I guess,

00:11:02.892 --> 00:11:04.231
worrisome as I thought it would be.

00:11:04.312 --> 00:11:05.092
It's yeah.

00:11:05.113 --> 00:11:06.212
We had a smaller plane.

00:11:06.253 --> 00:11:07.253
It wasn't one of the bigger,

00:11:07.354 --> 00:11:08.014
bigger planes.

00:11:08.053 --> 00:11:08.734
It was, uh,

00:11:09.735 --> 00:11:11.576
You guys went direct to LaGuardia, right?

00:11:11.895 --> 00:11:12.017
Yeah,

00:11:12.037 --> 00:11:13.116
we went direct from Birmingham to

00:11:13.158 --> 00:11:13.597
LaGuardia.

00:11:13.618 --> 00:11:13.857
Yeah,

00:11:13.878 --> 00:11:15.479
they still use their connector planes for

00:11:15.499 --> 00:11:15.659
that.

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:17.400
I've done that before.

00:11:17.801 --> 00:11:19.523
It's not tiny,

00:11:19.602 --> 00:11:20.923
but it's a little bit bigger.

00:11:21.163 --> 00:11:22.024
It was delta,

00:11:22.804 --> 00:11:25.267
a single row in the middle and two

00:11:25.287 --> 00:11:26.288
chairs on each side.

00:11:26.408 --> 00:11:26.869
It wouldn't...

00:11:27.729 --> 00:11:28.029
Like I said,

00:11:28.750 --> 00:11:30.331
the first class was just separated by a

00:11:30.371 --> 00:11:31.092
little mini wall.

00:11:31.133 --> 00:11:31.633
That was it.

00:11:31.653 --> 00:11:36.017
Did they make you guys check your carry-on

00:11:36.258 --> 00:11:38.259
baggage to pick up in the jetway?

00:11:38.860 --> 00:11:39.701
Eventually, like I said,

00:11:40.241 --> 00:11:42.123
we had our personal bag, like a backpack,

00:11:42.182 --> 00:11:43.745
and then a carry-on luggage.

00:11:44.205 --> 00:11:45.726
Well, they wound up there, I guess,

00:11:45.886 --> 00:11:47.729
because it was a full flight.

00:11:48.208 --> 00:11:49.210
So they just went ahead and just took

00:11:49.230 --> 00:11:50.932
our checked bags and threw them in there.

00:11:51.467 --> 00:11:51.828
Yeah.

00:11:51.869 --> 00:11:52.529
Okay.

00:11:52.549 --> 00:11:53.070
That makes sense.

00:11:53.190 --> 00:11:53.630
Okay.

00:11:53.691 --> 00:11:54.392
Yeah.

00:11:54.471 --> 00:11:55.533
A lot of times I use that as

00:11:55.573 --> 00:11:57.216
a way to gauge how big the plane

00:11:57.296 --> 00:11:58.778
is because some of the planes are so

00:11:58.837 --> 00:11:59.158
small,

00:11:59.458 --> 00:12:01.302
they literally can't get them in the

00:12:01.381 --> 00:12:03.865
overhead to get everybody's baggage in

00:12:03.904 --> 00:12:04.085
there.

00:12:04.385 --> 00:12:05.947
And then they'll just check them at the...

00:12:05.967 --> 00:12:06.808
Ours could...

00:12:08.471 --> 00:12:09.792
going by the measurements it could have

00:12:09.812 --> 00:12:11.131
gone underneath our chair but i think they

00:12:11.153 --> 00:12:13.173
were just doing that just for yeah i

00:12:13.214 --> 00:12:17.556
guess for the the the birmingham airport

00:12:17.576 --> 00:12:21.038
uh they hate for you to to stick

00:12:21.077 --> 00:12:23.359
your luggage in the overhead bin mind you

00:12:23.399 --> 00:12:25.519
coming back from new york to birmingham is

00:12:25.659 --> 00:12:28.642
the exact same plane exact same you know

00:12:28.682 --> 00:12:30.982
model and laguardia is like

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.061
stick it in the overhead bin.

00:12:33.181 --> 00:12:34.062
Those will fit.

00:12:34.302 --> 00:12:35.283
Those will fit.

00:12:35.322 --> 00:12:36.465
But for some reason,

00:12:36.585 --> 00:12:40.889
Birmingham Delta employees are like, no,

00:12:41.350 --> 00:12:42.029
you have to check them.

00:12:42.049 --> 00:12:42.870
I'm like, they fit.

00:12:42.890 --> 00:12:43.471
They're like, no.

00:12:43.511 --> 00:12:44.812
I'm like, they fit.

00:12:45.413 --> 00:12:46.054
Yeah.

00:12:46.735 --> 00:12:48.336
Coming back, LaGuardia was just like,

00:12:48.376 --> 00:12:50.239
we had just assumed because it was going

00:12:50.259 --> 00:12:50.798
to be the same thing.

00:12:50.818 --> 00:12:51.980
So they just took it right there from

00:12:52.020 --> 00:12:52.260
when we

00:12:52.748 --> 00:12:54.009
checked in and then threw it on the

00:12:54.029 --> 00:12:55.392
little conveyor and then it went on.

00:12:55.451 --> 00:12:56.352
So we didn't have to worry about it.

00:12:56.373 --> 00:12:58.517
We figured the same, but, but yeah, no,

00:12:58.716 --> 00:12:59.818
uh, we, uh, like I said,

00:12:59.859 --> 00:13:00.840
my first time flying wasn't,

00:13:00.980 --> 00:13:02.722
wasn't too rough because we went in after

00:13:02.763 --> 00:13:04.184
the, this was, uh,

00:13:04.404 --> 00:13:05.866
a week ago from Friday that we had

00:13:05.888 --> 00:13:07.330
that good bit of storm system running the

00:13:07.389 --> 00:13:08.191
night before, uh,

00:13:08.630 --> 00:13:09.812
So it was a little bumpy once we

00:13:09.831 --> 00:13:11.894
got up to got up to the to

00:13:12.033 --> 00:13:14.254
actual, you know, I guess cruising speed,

00:13:14.294 --> 00:13:15.495
height or whatever altitude.

00:13:15.515 --> 00:13:15.736
Yeah,

00:13:16.096 --> 00:13:17.557
it was interesting seeing clouds above the

00:13:17.597 --> 00:13:19.840
clouds was very, very neat to witness.

00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:22.480
That was because I mean, like I said,

00:13:22.500 --> 00:13:23.341
the whole time was up there.

00:13:23.621 --> 00:13:23.883
Never.

00:13:24.003 --> 00:13:25.803
It was just cloud cover all the way.

00:13:25.864 --> 00:13:26.264
So.

00:13:26.965 --> 00:13:28.446
Tanner Iskra was that the first time in

00:13:28.466 --> 00:13:30.027
an airport for you?

00:13:30.047 --> 00:13:30.888
I'd been in the airport,

00:13:30.908 --> 00:13:33.950
but I hadn't been past like past security.

00:13:34.269 --> 00:13:35.110
Yeah, past security.

00:13:35.149 --> 00:13:40.293
Even this was like... Oh, go ahead.

00:13:40.312 --> 00:13:41.955
Oh, I didn't get the full show.

00:13:42.034 --> 00:13:44.275
I just had to take my belt off

00:13:44.316 --> 00:13:45.616
and all my stuff, you know.

00:13:46.118 --> 00:13:47.317
TSA didn't get a little handsy with you.

00:13:47.479 --> 00:13:48.019
No, they didn't.

00:13:48.078 --> 00:13:50.360
Actually, my wife,

00:13:50.561 --> 00:13:52.261
she had some baby wipes in her bag,

00:13:52.341 --> 00:13:53.923
like just some wet wipes in her bag.

00:13:53.962 --> 00:13:55.224
And then that went through there and it

00:13:55.244 --> 00:13:56.144
got flagged twice.

00:13:56.164 --> 00:13:57.826
And then they had to check her bag.

00:13:57.846 --> 00:13:59.226
They put something on her baby wipes to

00:13:59.246 --> 00:14:00.368
make sure we wasn't trying to...

00:14:01.548 --> 00:14:02.369
cause any chaos.

00:14:02.389 --> 00:14:04.089
That is so funny when they do that.

00:14:04.509 --> 00:14:06.309
It's crazy.

00:14:06.389 --> 00:14:07.630
And then they have to wipe it down

00:14:07.650 --> 00:14:10.751
to make sure it's not a bomb.

00:14:11.111 --> 00:14:13.052
Or an explosive device.

00:14:15.514 --> 00:14:17.793
You look like the type of people.

00:14:17.833 --> 00:14:19.674
You look like a big target.

00:14:20.274 --> 00:14:20.774
Exactly.

00:14:21.176 --> 00:14:22.576
They don't even make you take your shoes

00:14:22.655 --> 00:14:26.017
off anymore like they used to.

00:14:26.076 --> 00:14:26.798
I was expecting that.

00:14:26.837 --> 00:14:27.738
We didn't have to do that.

00:14:27.798 --> 00:14:30.259
You didn't have TSA pre-checked?

00:14:31.433 --> 00:14:33.095
Uh, all I know is, like I said,

00:14:33.115 --> 00:14:34.235
I went through the,

00:14:34.275 --> 00:14:35.856
we put everything on the conveyor,

00:14:35.917 --> 00:14:37.717
went through the, uh, went through the,

00:14:38.038 --> 00:14:39.679
the, the little metal, the, the,

00:14:39.700 --> 00:14:41.100
the MRI machines, what I called it,

00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:42.041
because that's what it looked like.

00:14:42.061 --> 00:14:43.822
So did all,

00:14:43.981 --> 00:14:45.702
did all that and hold your hands up

00:14:45.722 --> 00:14:46.043
like this.

00:14:46.082 --> 00:14:46.964
Yeah, I did that.

00:14:47.004 --> 00:14:47.224
Yeah.

00:14:47.244 --> 00:14:48.264
Or I had to do the pose or

00:14:48.284 --> 00:14:50.086
it's the guy like this.

00:14:50.145 --> 00:14:51.866
Yeah, exactly.

00:14:52.226 --> 00:14:52.707
Exactly.

00:14:52.727 --> 00:14:54.808
You had to do the AJ styles.

00:14:55.089 --> 00:14:56.009
Yeah, exactly.

00:14:56.028 --> 00:14:56.168
Yes.

00:14:56.188 --> 00:14:57.269
I had to AJ Styles it.

00:14:57.308 --> 00:14:57.649
Yes.

00:14:58.309 --> 00:15:00.190
And, uh, but yeah, after that, and then,

00:15:00.289 --> 00:15:01.590
um, we got there super early.

00:15:01.610 --> 00:15:03.691
Like our flight wasn't until like six

00:15:03.711 --> 00:15:04.471
forty five.

00:15:04.510 --> 00:15:08.370
And we got there at like fifteen ish.

00:15:09.412 --> 00:15:10.572
But that worked out good.

00:15:10.591 --> 00:15:11.412
You know, just make sure.

00:15:11.572 --> 00:15:12.631
But I actually did that.

00:15:12.912 --> 00:15:14.192
Uh, flying was cool.

00:15:14.211 --> 00:15:14.873
We got there.

00:15:14.893 --> 00:15:15.192
Like I said,

00:15:15.212 --> 00:15:16.552
it was it was very interesting.

00:15:16.572 --> 00:15:17.732
You know, hey, I'm sitting on the ground.

00:15:17.753 --> 00:15:18.673
Then the next thing I know, hey,

00:15:18.692 --> 00:15:20.173
the ground's way down there.

00:15:20.212 --> 00:15:22.874
But, you know, did your ears hold up?

00:15:23.855 --> 00:15:24.154
I was,

00:15:24.174 --> 00:15:25.636
somebody told me suggested to chew gum.

00:15:25.657 --> 00:15:26.618
So I was chewing gum.

00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:28.980
And, uh, I guess that was,

00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:30.221
it was just, it didn't feel real.

00:15:30.261 --> 00:15:31.683
Like, you know, it was just like, Hey,

00:15:31.823 --> 00:15:33.326
we're way up in the sky going,

00:15:33.566 --> 00:15:34.326
but it was also neat.

00:15:34.366 --> 00:15:35.148
Like once we got going,

00:15:35.227 --> 00:15:36.370
I was just tracking my flight on my

00:15:36.429 --> 00:15:36.610
phone.

00:15:36.629 --> 00:15:39.092
I was like, Oh, Hey, we're in Virginia.

00:15:39.133 --> 00:15:39.373
Yeah.

00:15:39.393 --> 00:15:40.433
Hey, we're here now.

00:15:40.674 --> 00:15:41.875
Or no, we're in South Carolina.

00:15:41.895 --> 00:15:42.777
Then we were in Virginia.

00:15:42.797 --> 00:15:43.076
I was like,

00:15:43.802 --> 00:15:45.203
Cause it was about a two hour flight.

00:15:45.403 --> 00:15:46.543
Yeah.

00:15:46.604 --> 00:15:47.365
Yeah.

00:15:47.384 --> 00:15:47.845
I stayed awake.

00:15:47.865 --> 00:15:49.365
That's a really easy flight to,

00:15:49.426 --> 00:15:49.946
to cut your,

00:15:50.446 --> 00:15:51.586
to cut your teeth all there.

00:15:51.606 --> 00:15:51.687
Yeah.

00:15:51.706 --> 00:15:52.506
That's what they said.

00:15:52.527 --> 00:15:53.687
Said two hours is a good way to

00:15:53.727 --> 00:15:54.268
start out.

00:15:54.288 --> 00:15:56.028
So yeah, I was, it was,

00:15:56.089 --> 00:15:57.509
it was a good experience, you know,

00:15:57.610 --> 00:16:00.250
I mean, wasn't, uh, wasn't too bumpy.

00:16:00.331 --> 00:16:01.611
Like I said, it was a little bumpy,

00:16:01.652 --> 00:16:03.153
but I mean, it wasn't nothing like, uh,

00:16:03.592 --> 00:16:06.153
terrifying inducing but you know yeah i'm

00:16:06.173 --> 00:16:07.533
glad you guys i'm glad your first

00:16:07.573 --> 00:16:09.235
experience wasn't doing the puddle jumper

00:16:09.274 --> 00:16:11.816
from birmingham to to uh atlanta and then

00:16:12.176 --> 00:16:14.316
atlanta somewhere because atlanta's once

00:16:14.336 --> 00:16:16.177
you do it a couple times like a

00:16:16.297 --> 00:16:17.616
few well not a couple probably a few

00:16:17.677 --> 00:16:19.817
times it's really not a bad airport to

00:16:19.837 --> 00:16:21.197
get around but the first time you go

00:16:21.238 --> 00:16:23.918
there it's so gargantuanly massive that

00:16:23.958 --> 00:16:25.759
it's overwhelming yeah yeah

00:16:26.577 --> 00:16:27.177
Well, it's like I said,

00:16:27.278 --> 00:16:27.938
once we got there,

00:16:27.958 --> 00:16:29.438
we landed in LaGuardia Airport.

00:16:29.458 --> 00:16:29.798
Apparently,

00:16:29.818 --> 00:16:31.399
it looks like it's been redone here

00:16:31.419 --> 00:16:32.200
because it was beautiful.

00:16:32.220 --> 00:16:33.081
LaGuardia looks great.

00:16:33.321 --> 00:16:34.380
Yeah, LaGuardia's gorgeous.

00:16:34.400 --> 00:16:36.461
I love LaGuardia.

00:16:36.481 --> 00:16:38.243
I will say JFK is catching up.

00:16:38.342 --> 00:16:40.464
I think that JFK saw that LaGuardia got

00:16:40.484 --> 00:16:42.124
a little facelift and they've got like

00:16:42.144 --> 00:16:43.764
some kind of nineteen billion dollar

00:16:44.504 --> 00:16:46.546
renovation going on there at JFK,

00:16:46.566 --> 00:16:47.807
which I'll tell you guys about later.

00:16:47.866 --> 00:16:48.147
But yeah.

00:16:50.292 --> 00:16:51.793
They definitely have some jealousy issues.

00:16:51.932 --> 00:16:53.513
Yeah, LaGuardia is really nice.

00:16:54.472 --> 00:16:55.832
Brightly lit, beautiful.

00:16:56.474 --> 00:16:57.413
You could definitely tell within,

00:16:57.533 --> 00:16:58.514
I don't know when it happened,

00:16:58.533 --> 00:16:59.354
but it's been recent.

00:16:59.374 --> 00:16:59.774
Yeah,

00:16:59.833 --> 00:17:02.715
it's been the last two or three years.

00:17:03.115 --> 00:17:05.476
We landed there and then took us about.

00:17:06.276 --> 00:17:07.935
The fun part was getting from the airport

00:17:07.955 --> 00:17:09.816
to our hotel.

00:17:10.277 --> 00:17:11.616
Our hotel was Hotel Edison,

00:17:11.636 --> 00:17:14.376
which was basically theater district slash

00:17:14.416 --> 00:17:15.157
Times Square.

00:17:15.657 --> 00:17:17.218
Let's talk about that traffic.

00:17:17.478 --> 00:17:17.999
Oh yeah.

00:17:18.019 --> 00:17:19.019
I guess it, uh,

00:17:19.058 --> 00:17:20.619
New York traffic tells Atlanta traffic to

00:17:20.641 --> 00:17:21.260
hold his beer.

00:17:22.061 --> 00:17:25.804
How did you get from the airport?

00:17:25.923 --> 00:17:27.685
Well, Uber, we got an Uber, like a,

00:17:27.726 --> 00:17:29.287
we, uh, got there.

00:17:29.307 --> 00:17:30.347
It was a lot of speed up,

00:17:30.407 --> 00:17:30.768
slow down.

00:17:30.788 --> 00:17:32.249
Cause this was by this time,

00:17:32.288 --> 00:17:34.451
this was ten o'clock New York time,

00:17:34.490 --> 00:17:35.751
ten thirty New York time.

00:17:37.054 --> 00:17:38.174
And it was pretty, it was,

00:17:38.194 --> 00:17:38.494
like I said,

00:17:38.515 --> 00:17:39.655
it was very stop and go,

00:17:39.776 --> 00:17:40.376
stop and go.

00:17:40.396 --> 00:17:41.938
And I'm like, people do this every day.

00:17:41.958 --> 00:17:43.719
I was like, was it aggressive?

00:17:43.739 --> 00:17:44.500
Stop and go too.

00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:44.940
Yes.

00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.042
You got the full New York experience with

00:17:49.063 --> 00:17:49.762
the drivers.

00:17:49.782 --> 00:17:49.863
Yes.

00:17:49.943 --> 00:17:52.164
And they'll change a lane in a heartbeat

00:17:52.184 --> 00:17:52.244
too.

00:17:52.265 --> 00:17:52.705
Oh yeah.

00:17:52.786 --> 00:17:52.925
No.

00:17:53.006 --> 00:17:53.185
Yeah.

00:17:53.205 --> 00:17:55.067
Like our driver did the same thing too.

00:17:55.146 --> 00:17:56.147
So it was just, you know.

00:17:57.628 --> 00:17:58.869
But that was like, it was,

00:17:59.089 --> 00:17:59.769
it was really cool.

00:17:59.789 --> 00:18:01.109
Like I said, we got in,

00:18:01.130 --> 00:18:02.691
then we got into our hotel, which it's,

00:18:02.911 --> 00:18:03.310
oh, I think,

00:18:03.330 --> 00:18:04.531
I don't know what year that hotel,

00:18:04.551 --> 00:18:05.711
but it's called Hotel Edison.

00:18:05.751 --> 00:18:06.511
It's very nice.

00:18:06.772 --> 00:18:07.133
Of course,

00:18:07.173 --> 00:18:08.553
my Egon brain went to Art Deco.

00:18:08.593 --> 00:18:09.133
Very nice.

00:18:09.153 --> 00:18:10.054
You know, it was very,

00:18:11.094 --> 00:18:13.055
it was more roaring twenties and thirties.

00:18:13.075 --> 00:18:13.174
Very.

00:18:13.194 --> 00:18:13.275
Yeah.

00:18:15.056 --> 00:18:16.355
But it was, like I said,

00:18:16.395 --> 00:18:16.996
like in the,

00:18:17.036 --> 00:18:18.477
but probably the smallest bathroom ever

00:18:18.497 --> 00:18:19.537
been into a hotel room,

00:18:19.576 --> 00:18:21.038
but I understand that major city.

00:18:21.298 --> 00:18:21.557
Older.

00:18:21.617 --> 00:18:21.857
Yeah.

00:18:21.897 --> 00:18:21.978
Yeah.

00:18:22.117 --> 00:18:23.778
It's an older hotel.

00:18:23.798 --> 00:18:24.019
Did your,

00:18:24.058 --> 00:18:25.779
did your hotel have scaffolding on it?

00:18:26.420 --> 00:18:26.779
No.

00:18:27.520 --> 00:18:28.000
Really?

00:18:28.121 --> 00:18:29.481
Is it like the only building there with

00:18:29.501 --> 00:18:30.001
no scaffolding?

00:18:30.021 --> 00:18:30.103
Yeah.

00:18:30.123 --> 00:18:32.344
We were one of the few buildings without

00:18:32.384 --> 00:18:33.003
scaffolding.

00:18:34.045 --> 00:18:34.905
That was one thing we saw.

00:18:34.965 --> 00:18:37.287
That was my wife remarked.

00:18:37.307 --> 00:18:37.626
She was like,

00:18:37.708 --> 00:18:38.667
everything is under construction.

00:18:38.688 --> 00:18:38.907
I was like,

00:18:38.988 --> 00:18:40.469
I was told this is what we need

00:18:40.489 --> 00:18:41.069
to expect.

00:18:41.329 --> 00:18:42.190
You should, Bo,

00:18:42.250 --> 00:18:44.551
you should go down the rabbit hole when

00:18:44.571 --> 00:18:47.693
you have time of why everything has

00:18:47.733 --> 00:18:48.815
scaffolding in New York.

00:18:48.954 --> 00:18:51.175
It will fascinate you how the scaffolding

00:18:51.215 --> 00:18:52.076
rules work there.

00:18:52.477 --> 00:18:54.679
And then it's all like a racket.

00:18:55.772 --> 00:18:56.594
Oh, I'm sure.

00:18:57.433 --> 00:18:59.175
Somebody's getting their pockets stuffed.

00:18:59.736 --> 00:19:00.415
Oh, yeah.

00:19:01.817 --> 00:19:05.160
There's this whole conspiracy thing with

00:19:05.180 --> 00:19:09.782
the scaffolding and stuff.

00:19:09.863 --> 00:19:10.603
Once we got in there,

00:19:10.942 --> 00:19:12.904
it was a very interesting thing.

00:19:13.444 --> 00:19:13.924
On the way in,

00:19:13.964 --> 00:19:14.965
I didn't get to go to it,

00:19:15.006 --> 00:19:16.926
but we did drive by the NBC,

00:19:16.946 --> 00:19:19.808
the Rainbow Room entrance.

00:19:19.868 --> 00:19:21.170
We went with Joe by it.

00:19:21.190 --> 00:19:22.490
That was one of the highlights of me

00:19:22.510 --> 00:19:22.810
driving.

00:19:22.830 --> 00:19:23.731
I was like, oh, hey, that's cool.

00:19:25.472 --> 00:19:25.953
There were a bunch of,

00:19:25.973 --> 00:19:27.395
a bunch of things that we walked by

00:19:27.536 --> 00:19:28.217
Rockefeller center,

00:19:28.237 --> 00:19:29.117
but we never went in it.

00:19:29.659 --> 00:19:31.422
But like, um, like that was just,

00:19:31.501 --> 00:19:33.284
cause it was just a three days goes

00:19:33.305 --> 00:19:34.165
by quick in New York.

00:19:34.185 --> 00:19:36.648
Oh yeah.

00:19:36.669 --> 00:19:36.869
Oh yeah.

00:19:36.890 --> 00:19:36.970
Yeah.

00:19:36.990 --> 00:19:38.551
We landed at ten o'clock Friday and then

00:19:38.571 --> 00:19:39.814
we left Monday mornings.

00:19:39.973 --> 00:19:40.434
But, uh,

00:19:43.148 --> 00:19:45.028
But as one of the other things y'all

00:19:45.048 --> 00:19:45.429
described,

00:19:45.469 --> 00:19:46.829
it's a lot of interesting smells.

00:19:46.869 --> 00:19:47.650
It was very interesting.

00:19:47.890 --> 00:19:49.411
You'd have food for one second.

00:19:49.431 --> 00:19:52.211
Then you would have the herbal enhanced

00:19:52.251 --> 00:19:53.652
pens or whatever you want to say.

00:19:53.672 --> 00:19:53.751
Yeah.

00:19:53.833 --> 00:19:57.854
And then raw sewage and then garbage and

00:19:57.894 --> 00:19:58.614
then food.

00:19:58.693 --> 00:20:00.194
Yeah.

00:20:00.234 --> 00:20:01.315
Sometimes all at once.

00:20:01.634 --> 00:20:02.375
Yeah, exactly.

00:20:02.395 --> 00:20:04.816
Sometimes you hit that sweet spot.

00:20:04.876 --> 00:20:05.096
Yeah.

00:20:07.028 --> 00:20:08.308
You just got to find the hot dog

00:20:08.328 --> 00:20:09.789
stand on the corner that doesn't smell

00:20:09.829 --> 00:20:10.351
like sewage.

00:20:10.611 --> 00:20:11.632
Yeah.

00:20:12.092 --> 00:20:13.692
I paid ten bucks for a New York

00:20:13.732 --> 00:20:15.134
hot dog and say I did it.

00:20:15.194 --> 00:20:16.736
You know, it's a hot dog.

00:20:16.756 --> 00:20:17.676
Did you get a piece of pizza?

00:20:18.446 --> 00:20:19.548
Yes, we did do a piece of pizza.

00:20:19.587 --> 00:20:20.807
It was a good size one.

00:20:21.209 --> 00:20:23.329
Our hotel gave us some food vouchers,

00:20:23.369 --> 00:20:24.470
and we went to a place that was

00:20:24.490 --> 00:20:25.191
right there next to them.

00:20:25.211 --> 00:20:27.912
They recommended, yeah.

00:20:28.152 --> 00:20:28.291
Yeah.

00:20:28.332 --> 00:20:28.511
Oh, okay.

00:20:28.633 --> 00:20:30.252
I'm surprised what you can get when you

00:20:30.353 --> 00:20:32.054
ask the hotel to comp you stuff and

00:20:32.355 --> 00:20:32.894
do vouchers.

00:20:32.994 --> 00:20:33.375
It's crazy.

00:20:33.494 --> 00:20:36.076
Like I said, they had it available,

00:20:36.096 --> 00:20:36.497
and I did.

00:20:36.616 --> 00:20:39.198
I had a Hawaiian-style pizza at our

00:20:39.657 --> 00:20:39.979
restaurant.

00:20:39.999 --> 00:20:41.038
I wish I could think about the name

00:20:41.058 --> 00:20:42.180
of that place we had pizza from.

00:20:42.579 --> 00:20:43.079
But it was a big,

00:20:43.140 --> 00:20:45.480
giant slice of pizza, which was delicious.

00:20:46.381 --> 00:20:49.142
We don't have any New Yorkers on the

00:20:49.182 --> 00:20:51.663
chat here or listening because they'd be

00:20:51.702 --> 00:20:52.542
like, Hawaiian?

00:20:53.663 --> 00:20:54.324
They offered it,

00:20:54.364 --> 00:20:56.183
so you can't be mad at me if

00:20:56.223 --> 00:20:56.903
they offered it.

00:20:57.223 --> 00:20:58.625
I had a piece of the Hawaiian pizza

00:20:59.105 --> 00:21:01.486
at the place that we ate across from

00:21:01.526 --> 00:21:01.965
our hotel.

00:21:03.866 --> 00:21:03.987
Yeah.

00:21:04.007 --> 00:21:04.847
I love Hawaiian pizza.

00:21:05.648 --> 00:21:05.769
Yeah.

00:21:05.788 --> 00:21:06.769
We walked around a good bit.

00:21:06.809 --> 00:21:08.330
Like I said, we were like, we,

00:21:08.371 --> 00:21:10.113
you walk out our hotel and go up

00:21:10.133 --> 00:21:11.534
a block or two time square was right

00:21:11.574 --> 00:21:11.794
there.

00:21:11.814 --> 00:21:12.414
Yeah.

00:21:12.434 --> 00:21:12.615
Yeah.

00:21:12.775 --> 00:21:12.934
Yeah.

00:21:12.974 --> 00:21:14.076
You, you, you stayed,

00:21:14.135 --> 00:21:15.517
I think I'd looked at where your hotel

00:21:15.537 --> 00:21:15.738
was.

00:21:15.758 --> 00:21:16.979
You stayed like right around the corner

00:21:16.999 --> 00:21:17.699
from where I stayed.

00:21:17.739 --> 00:21:18.799
I stayed at the Maritana.

00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:18.920
Yeah.

00:21:19.780 --> 00:21:21.102
Which was like right around the corner

00:21:21.122 --> 00:21:23.203
from it was like right across from one

00:21:23.223 --> 00:21:23.825
of the theaters.

00:21:24.285 --> 00:21:24.605
Yeah.

00:21:24.625 --> 00:21:27.007
But I know I wanted to also ask

00:21:27.027 --> 00:21:27.147
you,

00:21:28.327 --> 00:21:30.169
Maybe jumping ahead here a little bit.

00:21:30.189 --> 00:21:32.009
What did you think of the subways?

00:21:32.029 --> 00:21:33.030
Did you guys do subways?

00:21:33.090 --> 00:21:34.191
Yes, we did do the subway.

00:21:34.230 --> 00:21:35.912
The subway was how we pretty much got

00:21:35.932 --> 00:21:37.333
around up and down.

00:21:37.613 --> 00:21:38.932
We took the subway when we went to,

00:21:39.473 --> 00:21:40.534
which I'll bring it up here in a

00:21:40.554 --> 00:21:40.693
minute.

00:21:40.713 --> 00:21:41.334
But yeah, the subway,

00:21:41.714 --> 00:21:43.234
I was nervous about it just because you've

00:21:43.255 --> 00:21:44.875
seen all the horror stories or wherever.

00:21:44.895 --> 00:21:48.018
But we only encountered probably two

00:21:48.137 --> 00:21:49.917
people that are typical of the subway.

00:21:49.938 --> 00:21:51.618
Just one person who seemed very irritated

00:21:51.659 --> 00:21:52.880
at the world and everyone.

00:21:53.859 --> 00:21:55.621
And then just someone that made their way

00:21:55.661 --> 00:21:57.001
through the cars, kind of.

00:21:57.781 --> 00:21:59.544
Just, you know, you know, somebody,

00:21:59.564 --> 00:22:01.865
you know, but beyond that, yeah.

00:22:02.326 --> 00:22:03.987
But, uh, beyond that, it was really nice.

00:22:04.028 --> 00:22:05.388
Like our first subway went too bad,

00:22:05.409 --> 00:22:06.410
but then the second time we get on

00:22:06.430 --> 00:22:06.809
the subway,

00:22:06.829 --> 00:22:08.590
they had like a nice little led board.

00:22:08.631 --> 00:22:09.051
It says, Hey,

00:22:09.071 --> 00:22:11.594
this next stop is this five stops up

00:22:11.614 --> 00:22:13.336
this, which that was really cool.

00:22:13.355 --> 00:22:15.096
It depends on the train you're on.

00:22:15.116 --> 00:22:16.157
It really does.

00:22:16.198 --> 00:22:16.798
We took the red,

00:22:16.979 --> 00:22:18.440
we took the red line and the yellow

00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:18.740
line.

00:22:18.779 --> 00:22:20.741
I think the yellow line was,

00:22:22.323 --> 00:22:22.443
No,

00:22:22.463 --> 00:22:24.786
the red line was the more up-to-date one,

00:22:24.826 --> 00:22:25.386
I believe.

00:22:26.007 --> 00:22:27.388
But our first time we went in,

00:22:27.628 --> 00:22:28.789
we went in on the wrong side,

00:22:28.829 --> 00:22:29.830
so we had to go out and then

00:22:29.851 --> 00:22:30.491
come back around.

00:22:30.571 --> 00:22:32.614
So that was one thing we had to

00:22:32.653 --> 00:22:33.494
learn that first time.

00:22:33.535 --> 00:22:34.836
But after that, it wasn't too bad.

00:22:35.356 --> 00:22:35.957
Tourists.

00:22:36.397 --> 00:22:37.138
Yeah.

00:22:37.519 --> 00:22:40.382
But yeah,

00:22:40.402 --> 00:22:42.124
the one thing about it is you get

00:22:42.243 --> 00:22:43.025
on, you get off,

00:22:43.085 --> 00:22:43.965
or you're not going to get on at

00:22:44.026 --> 00:22:44.165
all.

00:22:45.291 --> 00:22:45.491
Mm-hmm.

00:22:45.511 --> 00:22:46.333
Hey, you got to be ready.

00:22:47.614 --> 00:22:47.854
Yeah.

00:22:47.874 --> 00:22:49.115
So just being in that city,

00:22:49.134 --> 00:22:51.217
being in the subway, I'll tell you,

00:22:51.277 --> 00:22:52.577
so many movies I've watched in New York,

00:22:52.637 --> 00:22:53.699
I said the whole time sitting in the

00:22:53.719 --> 00:22:54.599
subway while we're waiting there,

00:22:54.619 --> 00:22:55.921
and my brain goes into the early nineties

00:22:55.941 --> 00:22:58.344
Ninja Turtles mode with April encounters

00:22:58.364 --> 00:22:58.683
the foot.

00:22:58.703 --> 00:22:59.565
That's where my brain went.

00:22:59.585 --> 00:22:59.904
I was like,

00:23:00.865 --> 00:23:03.508
it is nothing like that anymore.

00:23:03.587 --> 00:23:03.949
Oh, I know.

00:23:05.395 --> 00:23:06.455
You should have, you know,

00:23:06.717 --> 00:23:08.616
they are doing like wrestling on subway

00:23:08.656 --> 00:23:09.237
trains too.

00:23:09.257 --> 00:23:12.038
Have you seen those videos?

00:23:12.137 --> 00:23:13.439
We did see one of the cliche New

00:23:13.479 --> 00:23:14.959
York City rats in the subway.

00:23:14.979 --> 00:23:15.420
It wasn't too big,

00:23:15.500 --> 00:23:18.941
but it was a good size rat.

00:23:20.141 --> 00:23:20.320
Yeah.

00:23:20.340 --> 00:23:22.521
Master Splinter?

00:23:22.662 --> 00:23:23.041
Yeah, Alex,

00:23:24.383 --> 00:23:26.443
the first day we just walked around and

00:23:26.544 --> 00:23:27.884
I didn't realize we were so close to

00:23:27.903 --> 00:23:29.365
it was when we went,

00:23:29.444 --> 00:23:30.605
I'll share some of my pictures here.

00:23:30.684 --> 00:23:32.746
Oh, jeez, we're doing pictures.

00:23:33.900 --> 00:23:36.142
I just thought about it.

00:23:36.622 --> 00:23:37.942
I wasn't prepared for pictures.

00:23:40.403 --> 00:23:42.006
But of course we were just randomly

00:23:42.026 --> 00:23:43.666
walking around and then we run into this,

00:23:43.707 --> 00:23:45.107
which just, it was like,

00:23:45.147 --> 00:23:46.228
it was so unexpected.

00:23:46.288 --> 00:23:48.029
I was like, Oh, Hey,

00:23:51.011 --> 00:23:52.271
and unfortunately we walked in,

00:23:52.291 --> 00:23:53.492
but unfortunately they were done doing

00:23:53.532 --> 00:23:54.374
tours for the day.

00:23:54.834 --> 00:23:56.154
And which is like, that was,

00:23:56.255 --> 00:23:56.535
I was like,

00:23:56.555 --> 00:23:57.816
that was my technically my first

00:23:57.836 --> 00:23:59.116
ghostbuster picture, which I'm like,

00:23:59.457 --> 00:24:00.018
I'll go with that.

00:24:00.057 --> 00:24:00.637
That's, you know,

00:24:00.678 --> 00:24:01.979
the opening of the original movie.

00:24:02.494 --> 00:24:03.055
No, that's good.

00:24:03.596 --> 00:24:04.016
That's good.

00:24:04.537 --> 00:24:06.117
Cause y'all were, y'all were going to,

00:24:06.317 --> 00:24:08.680
did y'all go to Empire State when you

00:24:08.720 --> 00:24:10.000
passed the library?

00:24:10.381 --> 00:24:10.601
Yeah.

00:24:10.800 --> 00:24:11.761
Okay.

00:24:12.501 --> 00:24:14.384
Let me go back to,

00:24:14.403 --> 00:24:16.184
let me go through my other pictures here.

00:24:16.505 --> 00:24:17.425
So you did go, you get,

00:24:17.665 --> 00:24:18.926
you did get to go inside?

00:24:20.172 --> 00:24:20.852
We got to go in,

00:24:20.892 --> 00:24:22.113
but we didn't get to go into the

00:24:22.153 --> 00:24:24.795
main area where Egon and Ray and Venkman

00:24:24.815 --> 00:24:25.015
are.

00:24:25.035 --> 00:24:28.038
We didn't get to do that because they

00:24:28.057 --> 00:24:29.259
quit doing tours for that time.

00:24:30.259 --> 00:24:31.079
I got to peek in my head and

00:24:31.099 --> 00:24:31.220
look.

00:24:31.240 --> 00:24:32.201
I was like, ooh, neat.

00:24:34.323 --> 00:24:35.564
The cool thing about it for me, though,

00:24:35.844 --> 00:24:38.425
is that first opening era of the library,

00:24:39.026 --> 00:24:40.626
They recreated that for the video game.

00:24:40.646 --> 00:24:41.747
I was like, holy crap,

00:24:41.787 --> 00:24:45.048
this is spot on to the video game.

00:24:45.388 --> 00:24:46.568
That was really cool.

00:24:46.789 --> 00:24:47.910
That whole area,

00:24:48.089 --> 00:24:49.250
there was the paintings on the ceilings.

00:24:49.270 --> 00:24:51.151
It was beautiful.

00:24:51.412 --> 00:24:54.032
It's a gorgeous library.

00:24:54.053 --> 00:24:56.054
That's the same for Brock and myself.

00:24:56.074 --> 00:24:58.795
We went inside and just got to peek

00:24:58.835 --> 00:24:59.315
inside.

00:25:00.355 --> 00:25:01.875
From the hallway,

00:25:01.895 --> 00:25:05.097
just look inside to the room.

00:25:05.137 --> 00:25:05.978
The whole tour thing.

00:25:06.713 --> 00:25:06.794
Yeah.

00:25:06.814 --> 00:25:07.114
And I said,

00:25:07.134 --> 00:25:08.555
I sent the picture to Brock and Jess

00:25:08.615 --> 00:25:10.576
and, but, uh, we went, uh, we,

00:25:10.635 --> 00:25:11.455
we walked by it,

00:25:11.496 --> 00:25:12.836
but we went by what's now the hard

00:25:12.875 --> 00:25:13.436
rock cafe,

00:25:13.457 --> 00:25:15.076
which at one point in the early, late,

00:25:15.297 --> 00:25:17.498
the early two thousands was WWE New York.

00:25:17.518 --> 00:25:20.278
So we walked by that.

00:25:20.318 --> 00:25:20.638
Yep.

00:25:20.679 --> 00:25:21.358
And then let's see,

00:25:21.378 --> 00:25:22.920
what else did I have here?

00:25:24.433 --> 00:25:25.755
That was our first day walking around.

00:25:25.795 --> 00:25:26.535
Of course, also,

00:25:26.954 --> 00:25:27.935
I think we did that later in the

00:25:28.016 --> 00:25:28.276
evening.

00:25:28.296 --> 00:25:28.915
But either way,

00:25:29.277 --> 00:25:30.237
our first day we got there,

00:25:30.656 --> 00:25:31.837
and also I think I said this to

00:25:31.877 --> 00:25:32.377
you guys,

00:25:32.417 --> 00:25:34.898
we went to the best place to get

00:25:34.939 --> 00:25:37.520
cheesecake in my good Lord life.

00:25:37.661 --> 00:25:38.601
You are correct.

00:25:38.922 --> 00:25:40.481
I had the salted caramel swirl,

00:25:40.501 --> 00:25:41.742
and that might be one of the best

00:25:41.782 --> 00:25:42.743
things I've ever ate.

00:25:43.683 --> 00:25:44.364
If you're in New York,

00:25:44.403 --> 00:25:45.545
definitely go to Junior's.

00:25:46.265 --> 00:25:47.465
That place is amazing.

00:25:47.925 --> 00:25:48.727
It is wonderful.

00:25:48.747 --> 00:25:50.847
I hate we didn't go back again.

00:25:51.992 --> 00:25:53.354
I hate you miss the hamburgers there.

00:25:58.335 --> 00:25:59.155
That's a good place to eat.

00:25:59.596 --> 00:26:01.215
I don't have the actual full photo from

00:26:01.236 --> 00:26:01.557
me here.

00:26:01.616 --> 00:26:02.576
It's on our, on the Twitter,

00:26:02.596 --> 00:26:03.196
but of me standing,

00:26:03.416 --> 00:26:04.617
we went to the firehouse.

00:26:05.577 --> 00:26:06.518
Like I said, we went, we went,

00:26:06.557 --> 00:26:08.038
we went to the firehouse, uh,

00:26:08.058 --> 00:26:08.578
which I mean, here,

00:26:08.659 --> 00:26:09.239
I can show you this one.

00:26:09.259 --> 00:26:11.059
Me, I took a cliche selfie.

00:26:11.811 --> 00:26:12.251
Yeah.

00:26:12.291 --> 00:26:13.173
Standing in front of it.

00:26:13.472 --> 00:26:14.712
We went there the first time.

00:26:15.054 --> 00:26:16.374
Yes, let me tell you, like,

00:26:16.994 --> 00:26:17.694
it was so funny.

00:26:17.714 --> 00:26:19.155
It was like we got out of the

00:26:19.195 --> 00:26:22.237
subway and walked up on the street.

00:26:22.277 --> 00:26:23.178
Like, our subway came up.

00:26:23.198 --> 00:26:24.417
We started walking down, and, like,

00:26:24.718 --> 00:26:25.558
I just knew it was kind of looking,

00:26:25.578 --> 00:26:27.680
which I would tell you, Egon lied.

00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:28.400
That place is not, like,

00:26:28.420 --> 00:26:29.721
a demilitarized zone.

00:26:29.760 --> 00:26:32.201
Tribeca is absolutely gorgeous.

00:26:32.221 --> 00:26:33.063
It is beautiful.

00:26:33.083 --> 00:26:33.442
It was.

00:26:34.383 --> 00:26:36.443
Like, it is a beautiful, like,

00:26:36.604 --> 00:26:37.384
I was like,

00:26:37.424 --> 00:26:38.765
is this even the same city?

00:26:38.845 --> 00:26:39.346
Like, it was...

00:26:40.145 --> 00:26:40.906
It was incredible.

00:26:40.987 --> 00:26:43.307
I was like, this is... I mean,

00:26:43.327 --> 00:26:46.449
it was just clean, nice, organized.

00:26:46.469 --> 00:26:47.250
I mean,

00:26:47.309 --> 00:26:48.711
it was still part of the same city,

00:26:48.750 --> 00:26:50.771
but it didn't look like it was.

00:26:51.352 --> 00:26:54.653
Well, when you... It's like going to...

00:26:55.294 --> 00:26:56.615
Y'all went to Greenwich Village, too,

00:26:56.775 --> 00:26:56.954
right?

00:26:56.974 --> 00:26:57.755
Y'all went to that area.

00:26:57.775 --> 00:26:58.454
I think so.

00:26:58.474 --> 00:26:58.796
We may have.

00:26:58.816 --> 00:27:02.076
That's where the Friends...

00:27:02.397 --> 00:27:03.438
Did y'all go to the Friends apartment?

00:27:03.458 --> 00:27:04.398
We were going to try to go...

00:27:04.459 --> 00:27:05.298
I think we walked by there.

00:27:05.558 --> 00:27:07.460
There was a Friends cafe or whatever near

00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:08.921
Times Square we were at, because our...

00:27:09.800 --> 00:27:11.682
the neighbors his wife was wanting and we

00:27:11.702 --> 00:27:12.803
were going to try to visit there and

00:27:12.843 --> 00:27:14.243
carry Bradshaw's apartment but

00:27:14.284 --> 00:27:15.625
unfortunately I don't think we they were

00:27:15.664 --> 00:27:17.747
just it turned into like we'll just keep

00:27:17.767 --> 00:27:20.608
going so that Tribeca and Greenwich

00:27:20.628 --> 00:27:22.809
Village and all that it's like you're in

00:27:22.849 --> 00:27:24.371
New York but it's like you're in a

00:27:24.391 --> 00:27:26.112
whole different world of New York it's the

00:27:26.352 --> 00:27:29.634
settings are vastly different you know you

00:27:29.654 --> 00:27:31.736
got your touristy Times Square and then

00:27:31.776 --> 00:27:33.717
you just go down to places like Greenwich

00:27:33.757 --> 00:27:35.778
Village and Tribeca and it's just a

00:27:35.818 --> 00:27:36.179
different

00:27:36.638 --> 00:27:37.919
yeah it's a different vibe it's a

00:27:37.959 --> 00:27:40.839
different feeling in that you know being

00:27:40.859 --> 00:27:44.661
in new york but being set apart from

00:27:44.800 --> 00:27:47.221
all the the hustle and bustle of yeah

00:27:47.261 --> 00:27:48.882
you know after we left there we went

00:27:48.902 --> 00:27:51.162
to soho to kind of look at some

00:27:51.201 --> 00:27:53.103
of the stops there but then after that

00:27:53.163 --> 00:27:55.242
we made our way up we went to

00:27:55.743 --> 00:27:57.104
i didn't take too many pictures well we

00:27:57.144 --> 00:28:00.404
start yeah we went to uh uh all

00:28:00.444 --> 00:28:01.944
crud chinatown yeah

00:28:02.502 --> 00:28:04.223
Which Chinatown was really cool because we

00:28:04.243 --> 00:28:05.365
happened to go at a perfect time because

00:28:05.384 --> 00:28:06.684
they were still celebrating Lunar New

00:28:06.704 --> 00:28:06.945
Year.

00:28:07.645 --> 00:28:08.886
Oh, that's good timing.

00:28:08.906 --> 00:28:09.527
That's cool.

00:28:09.606 --> 00:28:10.007
Yeah.

00:28:10.067 --> 00:28:10.948
So, I mean, like here,

00:28:11.087 --> 00:28:12.489
I'll bring up a couple of photos here.

00:28:13.568 --> 00:28:20.032
Or video street parades with like.

00:28:20.093 --> 00:28:20.413
Yeah.

00:28:20.573 --> 00:28:21.993
I can't think what they're called,

00:28:22.013 --> 00:28:23.355
but like they had that going on,

00:28:24.556 --> 00:28:26.116
which that was really cool to experience.

00:28:26.957 --> 00:28:27.396
Oh, yeah.

00:28:27.537 --> 00:28:28.077
Look at that.

00:28:28.657 --> 00:28:29.838
The dragons and stuff.

00:28:29.898 --> 00:28:30.118
Yeah.

00:28:30.990 --> 00:28:31.431
Let's see.

00:28:31.471 --> 00:28:31.990
But yeah, like I said,

00:28:32.010 --> 00:28:33.413
I took a few photos.

00:28:33.432 --> 00:28:34.874
Nice.

00:28:35.115 --> 00:28:36.856
Then I hate because we ate earlier,

00:28:37.096 --> 00:28:38.818
but then we made our way over to

00:28:38.898 --> 00:28:39.700
Little Italy,

00:28:40.220 --> 00:28:42.202
which everything smelled amazing.

00:28:42.222 --> 00:28:42.522
Oh, yeah.

00:28:43.223 --> 00:28:44.625
It looked delicious.

00:28:44.726 --> 00:28:47.087
Like I just want to go one day

00:28:47.107 --> 00:28:48.829
to eat at Little Italy and just I

00:28:48.849 --> 00:28:50.352
would spend a evening there all day.

00:28:51.856 --> 00:28:54.077
But yeah, you can, you can find,

00:28:54.278 --> 00:28:54.498
I mean,

00:28:54.858 --> 00:28:56.559
just around there where the firehouse is,

00:28:56.579 --> 00:28:58.039
you just venture off into these little

00:28:58.140 --> 00:28:59.461
areas and it's, it's, it's,

00:28:59.840 --> 00:29:00.321
it's wonderful.

00:29:00.342 --> 00:29:01.241
You had a chance to do all that.

00:29:01.281 --> 00:29:01.922
We'll see.

00:29:02.202 --> 00:29:02.942
We went through all that.

00:29:02.962 --> 00:29:03.482
Well, then we're like,

00:29:03.563 --> 00:29:04.324
we're going to go back and go to

00:29:04.364 --> 00:29:05.884
go back the way the subway we came.

00:29:05.904 --> 00:29:07.085
Well, then when we did that,

00:29:07.144 --> 00:29:07.766
I got to take my,

00:29:07.865 --> 00:29:09.185
probably my favorite picture I took.

00:29:09.205 --> 00:29:09.926
Like I said, it's a,

00:29:10.426 --> 00:29:12.167
this here the firehouse at night which was

00:29:12.208 --> 00:29:13.848
just i just seeing it lit up at

00:29:13.888 --> 00:29:15.349
night made it even like i was even

00:29:15.390 --> 00:29:18.071
more like a giddy kid the only thing

00:29:18.112 --> 00:29:20.253
was unfortunately with the firehouse i

00:29:20.273 --> 00:29:21.634
don't know if this is something new but

00:29:21.674 --> 00:29:23.695
like when we knocked the first time nobody

00:29:23.776 --> 00:29:25.136
answered so we assumed maybe the

00:29:25.156 --> 00:29:26.657
firefighters were asleep or whatever

00:29:26.678 --> 00:29:28.499
didn't want to bother them but then uh

00:29:28.558 --> 00:29:29.900
my neighbor when he got back he got

00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:31.480
to the side door knock and they were

00:29:31.500 --> 00:29:33.021
doing roll call but he said that they

00:29:33.041 --> 00:29:34.784
were no longer doing the patches or shirts

00:29:34.824 --> 00:29:35.223
anymore

00:29:36.304 --> 00:29:37.865
really well they couldn't do it so i

00:29:37.884 --> 00:29:39.145
don't know if that might be a shift

00:29:39.185 --> 00:29:42.326
thing or what but that's what that was

00:29:42.386 --> 00:29:43.948
a polite way of telling them to saw

00:29:43.968 --> 00:29:46.630
it off yeah which that's fine i understand

00:29:46.650 --> 00:29:48.570
i mean i've got badges and pins from

00:29:48.611 --> 00:29:49.871

00:29:49.891 --> 00:29:51.711
it myself for once but we're gonna go

00:29:51.731 --> 00:29:54.114

00:29:54.134 --> 00:29:55.453

00:29:55.673 --> 00:29:57.315

And then I want to say then the

00:30:04.257 --> 00:30:05.758
last bit, but then like I said,

00:30:05.778 --> 00:30:06.479
that was all Saturday.

00:30:06.499 --> 00:30:09.922
Then Sunday we went to, uh, or Saturday.

00:30:09.942 --> 00:30:10.241
Yeah.

00:30:10.281 --> 00:30:11.222
Well, yeah, that was Saturday.

00:30:11.482 --> 00:30:12.644
And then Sunday we decided,

00:30:12.663 --> 00:30:14.684
which this is something like I tell

00:30:14.704 --> 00:30:15.086
everybody,

00:30:15.125 --> 00:30:16.826
if you were alive during that day,

00:30:17.326 --> 00:30:17.887
we went to the nine,

00:30:17.928 --> 00:30:21.250
eleven Memorial museum.

00:30:21.289 --> 00:30:21.651
Hey, go ahead.

00:30:22.590 --> 00:30:23.731
Before we head off into the subject,

00:30:23.771 --> 00:30:25.353
just because we're on Ghostbusters,

00:30:27.493 --> 00:30:29.174
Jess had an objuary, Geeks.

00:30:29.194 --> 00:30:29.316
Yeah.

00:30:29.336 --> 00:30:30.615
Oh, yes.

00:30:30.675 --> 00:30:31.896
Go ahead.

00:30:31.957 --> 00:30:34.699
Jennifer Runyon has passed away.

00:30:34.719 --> 00:30:37.560
I saw that today while I was looking

00:30:37.601 --> 00:30:37.661
on.

00:30:37.701 --> 00:30:39.182
Yeah, she died two days ago.

00:30:41.423 --> 00:30:42.864
She was the blonde that Venkman was

00:30:42.884 --> 00:30:44.244
hitting on at the very beginning of the

00:30:44.265 --> 00:30:44.924
original movie.

00:30:46.185 --> 00:30:48.126
It was also Cindy Brady in A Very

00:30:48.166 --> 00:30:49.367
Brady Christmas.

00:30:49.407 --> 00:30:49.548
Yeah.

00:30:50.949 --> 00:30:53.109
yeah um yeah so sad to hear about

00:30:53.150 --> 00:30:56.291
that yeah and both i i don't want

00:30:56.432 --> 00:30:57.792
to i don't want to veer too off

00:30:57.833 --> 00:31:00.513
course but i just want to know how

00:31:00.534 --> 00:31:02.714
did it how did it feel to finally

00:31:03.236 --> 00:31:04.655
oh stand in front of the firehouse well

00:31:04.717 --> 00:31:06.718
like it was it was very surreal like

00:31:06.877 --> 00:31:08.499
i i didn't get too emotional like i

00:31:08.558 --> 00:31:09.858
thought i would it was just it was

00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:12.401
it was it was i honestly i was

00:31:12.421 --> 00:31:14.301
like it's smaller in person yeah

00:31:14.801 --> 00:31:15.903
That's where my brain went.

00:31:15.963 --> 00:31:16.384
It is.

00:31:16.483 --> 00:31:17.265
It really is.

00:31:17.325 --> 00:31:18.846
It is much smaller in person.

00:31:18.886 --> 00:31:19.207
But I mean,

00:31:19.247 --> 00:31:21.849
it was still like I still like it

00:31:21.869 --> 00:31:23.712
was just it was very surreal like to

00:31:23.792 --> 00:31:24.292
be there.

00:31:24.773 --> 00:31:26.255
And like now now that I've seen so

00:31:26.296 --> 00:31:27.856
many like my friends be there and now

00:31:27.876 --> 00:31:28.317
I'm like, oh, hey,

00:31:28.377 --> 00:31:28.999
I know where this is.

00:31:29.038 --> 00:31:29.259
Yes.

00:31:29.659 --> 00:31:30.500
I'm like, yeah,

00:31:31.101 --> 00:31:32.903
I'm maybe one of these days I'll make

00:31:32.923 --> 00:31:34.144
a trip when everybody's up there.

00:31:34.184 --> 00:31:34.884
But, you know.

00:31:35.645 --> 00:31:36.686
Maybe when I know it's more of the

00:31:36.787 --> 00:31:40.229
old folks up there, you know,

00:31:40.249 --> 00:31:41.529
you stand there and you just think about

00:31:41.569 --> 00:31:42.570
you kind of in your mind.

00:31:42.611 --> 00:31:43.271
I mean, I know it's,

00:31:43.311 --> 00:31:43.971
it's happened to me.

00:31:43.991 --> 00:31:45.393
You just play out all the scenes that

00:31:45.432 --> 00:31:47.234
happened in front of, you know,

00:31:47.275 --> 00:31:50.636
you're a mother and you can't park that

00:31:50.676 --> 00:31:51.057
here.

00:31:51.116 --> 00:31:53.098
And I did do on step looking for

00:31:53.138 --> 00:31:54.220
my ex for the commercial.

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:55.780
That was the one thing I did.

00:31:55.800 --> 00:31:56.040
Yeah.

00:31:57.156 --> 00:31:57.217
I,

00:31:57.317 --> 00:31:58.317
I'd sit there and reveled in it and

00:31:58.337 --> 00:31:58.798
it was cool,

00:31:58.838 --> 00:31:59.819
but also I didn't want to, you know,

00:31:59.920 --> 00:32:00.681
also that's just me.

00:32:00.701 --> 00:32:01.421
My brain went overdrive.

00:32:01.441 --> 00:32:01.741
I was like, well,

00:32:01.761 --> 00:32:03.083
I don't want to be like around the

00:32:03.123 --> 00:32:03.804
firehouse, you know,

00:32:03.844 --> 00:32:06.185
causing any lingering or loitering,

00:32:06.266 --> 00:32:07.426
you know?

00:32:07.527 --> 00:32:07.807
Yeah.

00:32:07.847 --> 00:32:08.627
But like I said, I got there.

00:32:08.647 --> 00:32:08.748
Yeah.

00:32:08.768 --> 00:32:08.788
I,

00:32:08.807 --> 00:32:12.132
I'm going to go back next time and

00:32:12.152 --> 00:32:12.912
carry one of my shirts.

00:32:12.951 --> 00:32:14.134
I'm not going to go full flight suit,

00:32:14.153 --> 00:32:15.255
but I'll carry one of my shirts.

00:32:15.355 --> 00:32:16.756
I was thought about carrying it.

00:32:16.796 --> 00:32:17.497
I was like, eh.

00:32:17.757 --> 00:32:18.797
we'll just, you know, next time,

00:32:18.836 --> 00:32:19.817
one of my little button ups,

00:32:20.337 --> 00:32:21.317
but it was, like I said, it was,

00:32:21.417 --> 00:32:22.078
it was really cool.

00:32:22.138 --> 00:32:22.358
I was,

00:32:22.499 --> 00:32:23.979
I was glad to finally knock that,

00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:25.099
knock that off the list.

00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:26.800
I think it was just, it was,

00:32:26.881 --> 00:32:28.020
it was, it was a good feeling.

00:32:28.060 --> 00:32:28.681
Like it was, you know,

00:32:28.721 --> 00:32:29.622
I thought I was going to be like,

00:32:29.642 --> 00:32:31.102
Oh, you know, crying baby, but no,

00:32:31.122 --> 00:32:32.282
I was, I was, you know, it was,

00:32:33.182 --> 00:32:33.603
It was, it was,

00:32:33.702 --> 00:32:35.064
it felt good to be there.

00:32:35.325 --> 00:32:36.586
Well, and you were also like,

00:32:37.086 --> 00:32:38.507
you had to still be in dad mode,

00:32:38.547 --> 00:32:38.807
right?

00:32:38.926 --> 00:32:40.288
So you, no, no.

00:32:40.888 --> 00:32:41.048
Okay.

00:32:41.068 --> 00:32:41.189
Okay.

00:32:41.269 --> 00:32:43.770
It might be different when I bring the

00:32:43.790 --> 00:32:44.490
kiddo next time.

00:32:44.932 --> 00:32:45.271
Okay.

00:32:45.372 --> 00:32:45.731
I got you.

00:32:45.771 --> 00:32:46.153
I got you.

00:32:46.512 --> 00:32:48.574
So, so, but you are also,

00:32:48.994 --> 00:32:50.115
if you were anything like me when I

00:32:50.134 --> 00:32:51.076
was up there, it was like,

00:32:51.115 --> 00:32:51.777
you're overwhelmed.

00:32:51.817 --> 00:32:53.057
You still have all this other stuff in

00:32:53.077 --> 00:32:53.518
your mind too.

00:32:53.538 --> 00:32:53.637
Yeah.

00:32:53.897 --> 00:32:54.898
All the things you want to do.

00:32:55.298 --> 00:32:57.121
So, you know, it, it, I mean,

00:32:57.161 --> 00:32:59.001
it hit me about as about the same,

00:32:59.481 --> 00:33:00.363
um, whenever I went there.

00:33:01.143 --> 00:33:02.604
I was really appreciative to go,

00:33:03.704 --> 00:33:05.085
but I had the same first thought.

00:33:05.105 --> 00:33:07.547
I was like, wow, so that's it.

00:33:08.967 --> 00:33:09.627
No, but I mean,

00:33:09.748 --> 00:33:12.548
I was still happy to see it.

00:33:12.608 --> 00:33:14.589
It was just weird because I guess it

00:33:14.750 --> 00:33:17.811
didn't seem real because it's been one of

00:33:17.832 --> 00:33:19.752
those places I've always wanted to go and

00:33:19.772 --> 00:33:19.972
just...

00:33:21.345 --> 00:33:21.704
For me,

00:33:21.744 --> 00:33:24.085
it's like whenever I've been up there and

00:33:24.105 --> 00:33:26.885
been places where I know certain things

00:33:26.925 --> 00:33:27.445
are filmed,

00:33:27.925 --> 00:33:29.945
it is kind of a surreal experience because

00:33:30.267 --> 00:33:32.527
you realize this is a real place.

00:33:32.686 --> 00:33:35.787
This wasn't built for a movie.

00:33:35.826 --> 00:33:36.807
It's not a set.

00:33:36.887 --> 00:33:39.008
It's a real living,

00:33:39.347 --> 00:33:41.768
actively people live and work and walk

00:33:41.847 --> 00:33:43.229
through this all the time.

00:33:43.288 --> 00:33:44.868
And I'm here and I'm seeing these things

00:33:44.888 --> 00:33:48.269
that I've only seen on a movie screen

00:33:48.309 --> 00:33:49.450
or on my TV before.

00:33:49.470 --> 00:33:50.730
And I'm standing here.

00:33:50.930 --> 00:33:52.192
That was the other thing I noticed about

00:33:52.231 --> 00:33:52.813
Tribeca.

00:33:53.854 --> 00:33:56.557
It was a much older resident area.

00:33:56.698 --> 00:33:58.560
I noticed everybody in Tribeca was my age

00:33:58.601 --> 00:33:59.142
or older,

00:33:59.182 --> 00:34:02.946
where Midtown was more my age and younger.

00:34:02.967 --> 00:34:04.128
Right, right.

00:34:06.134 --> 00:34:08.315
but it was good like i said it

00:34:08.335 --> 00:34:10.157
was it was just like well my wife

00:34:10.177 --> 00:34:12.179
will probably say i i probably was geeking

00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:13.219
out like i had to find it i

00:34:13.239 --> 00:34:14.661
don't know if she got it i think

00:34:14.701 --> 00:34:16.121
she's got a video of me like walking

00:34:16.161 --> 00:34:17.181
up to it at first i'll have to

00:34:17.242 --> 00:34:19.384
find it i we're still like still going

00:34:19.423 --> 00:34:21.284
through but like it was yeah it was

00:34:21.485 --> 00:34:22.706
it hit me hard like i said it's

00:34:22.905 --> 00:34:24.186
it was a very good fit like i

00:34:24.246 --> 00:34:25.847
i know i'm not downplayed but it's it's

00:34:26.027 --> 00:34:27.768
it was it was well worth it like

00:34:27.849 --> 00:34:30.150
i i i one of the things i

00:34:30.170 --> 00:34:30.530
thought i was

00:34:30.951 --> 00:34:31.492
I was going to like,

00:34:31.612 --> 00:34:32.353
I wanted a picture.

00:34:32.373 --> 00:34:33.273
Like I have a picture of me as

00:34:33.313 --> 00:34:33.534
a kid.

00:34:33.635 --> 00:34:34.576
I was like, I wanted to hold it,

00:34:34.596 --> 00:34:35.817
but I completely forgot about it.

00:34:35.856 --> 00:34:37.298
But at least it's,

00:34:37.980 --> 00:34:39.201
it's still like I said, it's still, it's,

00:34:39.601 --> 00:34:40.884
it's got me excited to go back.

00:34:40.923 --> 00:34:41.965
I think that's the main thing.

00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:44.722
yeah but it was really it was really

00:34:44.742 --> 00:34:46.663
good like i was very happy to witness

00:34:46.822 --> 00:34:48.804
this or see that it's and i'm glad

00:34:48.844 --> 00:34:49.905
they were nice if we went back and

00:34:49.945 --> 00:34:55.469
saw it twice yeah now you said jen

00:34:55.510 --> 00:34:57.431
your world trade center you're yes the

00:34:57.452 --> 00:35:00.514
nine eleven memorial museum like i think

00:35:00.574 --> 00:35:01.815
if like you said you witnessed that

00:35:01.954 --> 00:35:03.757
everybody should go see that that is

00:35:03.817 --> 00:35:05.538
impressive did y'all guys visit it yet oh

00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:06.298
yeah

00:35:06.518 --> 00:35:12.161
We haven't visited the museum part of the

00:35:12.201 --> 00:35:14.021
memorial or anything like that.

00:35:14.842 --> 00:35:15.882
We've just been on the outside.

00:35:16.563 --> 00:35:18.123
Did you go up in the tower?

00:35:18.483 --> 00:35:19.503
No, we didn't go up in the tower.

00:35:19.545 --> 00:35:21.244
The only building we went up in was

00:35:21.264 --> 00:35:22.186
the Empire State Building.

00:35:22.206 --> 00:35:25.706
We went to the eighty-sixth floor and

00:35:25.726 --> 00:35:26.427
looked out that way.

00:35:26.487 --> 00:35:27.208
That's insane.

00:35:27.427 --> 00:35:28.527
That's the other thing about it.

00:35:29.068 --> 00:35:29.789
You look this way,

00:35:29.809 --> 00:35:30.889
the city goes that way.

00:35:31.710 --> 00:35:33.530
It just never ends except for the water.

00:35:33.550 --> 00:35:34.010
That's it.

00:35:34.150 --> 00:35:34.490
Right.

00:35:36.561 --> 00:35:36.641
Yeah.

00:35:36.661 --> 00:35:36.742
Yeah.

00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:39.760
But the nine eleven, like I said,

00:35:39.780 --> 00:35:40.641
the nine eleven museum,

00:35:40.661 --> 00:35:41.742
like anybody who's seen that,

00:35:41.762 --> 00:35:42.802
you need to visit that.

00:35:42.822 --> 00:35:46.844
And then we went to the the Harry

00:35:46.885 --> 00:35:47.726
Potter New York store.

00:35:47.945 --> 00:35:48.465
All the store,

00:35:48.586 --> 00:35:49.827
the theme stores was really cool.

00:35:49.847 --> 00:35:51.007
We went to Nintendo New York,

00:35:51.047 --> 00:35:52.048
which was really cool.

00:35:52.869 --> 00:35:56.192
M&M store, our Hershey Reese's store.

00:35:56.211 --> 00:35:57.152
Did you go to FAO Schwartz?

00:35:58.012 --> 00:35:58.193
Yeah,

00:35:58.612 --> 00:36:01.675
we went into we went into the Macy's

00:36:01.695 --> 00:36:03.016
and rode the wooden escalators,

00:36:03.036 --> 00:36:04.536
which is really cool.

00:36:04.577 --> 00:36:04.996
We did that.

00:36:05.016 --> 00:36:06.438
That is a really cool Nintendo store.

00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:08.579
I have like two shirts from that store.

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:10.402
We happened to be in there during Pokemon

00:36:10.422 --> 00:36:10.621
day.

00:36:10.661 --> 00:36:11.422
It was insane.

00:36:11.503 --> 00:36:13.804
Oh, I have one.

00:36:14.085 --> 00:36:16.487
I have one Super Mario Brothers shirt that

00:36:16.527 --> 00:36:17.628
I got from there that every time I

00:36:17.688 --> 00:36:17.909
wear it,

00:36:17.929 --> 00:36:19.431
it gets compliments like more than any

00:36:19.471 --> 00:36:20.552
shirt that I have.

00:36:20.592 --> 00:36:21.152
Oh, yeah.

00:36:21.753 --> 00:36:23.134
I'm trying to see if there's any other

00:36:23.474 --> 00:36:24.795
pictures I got here.

00:36:25.356 --> 00:36:26.016
Then, like I said,

00:36:26.056 --> 00:36:27.097
we finished up Sunday night.

00:36:27.117 --> 00:36:28.360
We went and saw Harry Potter and the

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:29.400
Cursed Child.

00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:29.721
Mm hmm.

00:36:30.574 --> 00:36:31.034
Which, like I said,

00:36:32.056 --> 00:36:33.896
according to the sorting hats here thing,

00:36:33.916 --> 00:36:35.077
like I said, even though I'm Mr.

00:36:35.117 --> 00:36:36.679
Nice Guy, I got sorted into Slytherin.

00:36:36.978 --> 00:36:37.519
Oh, man.

00:36:37.739 --> 00:36:39.840
I blame because of the interest in all

00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:41.041
the spooky stuff.

00:36:41.481 --> 00:36:43.563
There are good people in Slytherin.

00:36:43.583 --> 00:36:44.403
That's what I'm saying.

00:36:44.423 --> 00:36:45.885
You're more predisposed to be bad.

00:36:46.065 --> 00:36:48.286
And that's one of the things I liked

00:36:48.306 --> 00:36:49.947
that was really neat about the Cursed

00:36:49.967 --> 00:36:50.188
Child.

00:36:50.208 --> 00:36:52.128
They kind of redesigned the house emblems.

00:36:52.510 --> 00:36:54.871
And I really like that because y'all guys

00:36:54.891 --> 00:36:55.931
saw it here just last week.

00:36:56.811 --> 00:36:57.932
We saw it yesterday.

00:36:57.992 --> 00:36:58.413
Yeah.

00:36:58.432 --> 00:36:59.012
Yesterday.

00:36:59.112 --> 00:37:01.514
And then that was the inside of the

00:37:01.554 --> 00:37:02.034
theater.

00:37:02.153 --> 00:37:03.273
We tried to take some, but like,

00:37:03.293 --> 00:37:04.894
of course I'm wearing a very flattering

00:37:04.934 --> 00:37:05.715
shirt, by the way.

00:37:06.054 --> 00:37:06.315
I was like,

00:37:06.355 --> 00:37:07.235
I'm not wearing that shirt again,

00:37:07.295 --> 00:37:09.615
tucked in because it's a good incendiary,

00:37:09.755 --> 00:37:14.038
but, but like that was the theater.

00:37:14.057 --> 00:37:15.777
The inside of that theater was beautiful.

00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:17.699
Yeah.

00:37:17.778 --> 00:37:19.380
I've seen the videos from inside the

00:37:19.420 --> 00:37:19.760
theater.

00:37:19.980 --> 00:37:20.659
That was a really,

00:37:21.179 --> 00:37:22.800
really beautiful place for y'all to be in

00:37:22.840 --> 00:37:23.260
to see that.

00:37:23.795 --> 00:37:24.474
Yeah, like I said,

00:37:24.815 --> 00:37:26.715
we were like right there across the street

00:37:26.735 --> 00:37:27.835
from us with Stranger Things,

00:37:27.856 --> 00:37:30.896
and I was like, oh.

00:37:30.916 --> 00:37:30.956
Oh.

00:37:30.996 --> 00:37:32.077
Did they have the Stranger Things

00:37:32.137 --> 00:37:32.777
experience?

00:37:33.157 --> 00:37:34.077
No, the Stranger Things.

00:37:34.117 --> 00:37:34.518
The first Shadow.

00:37:34.538 --> 00:37:36.577
Oh, snap.

00:37:36.657 --> 00:37:36.737
Okay.

00:37:36.757 --> 00:37:38.159
Which is coming to Netflix, by the way.

00:37:38.478 --> 00:37:38.798
Yeah.

00:37:38.818 --> 00:37:40.998
It's coming to Netflix.

00:37:41.079 --> 00:37:42.139
I was really tempted because I was like,

00:37:42.179 --> 00:37:44.599
ooh, to see this live would be great.

00:37:44.619 --> 00:37:44.820
Yeah.

00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:46.061
Apparently, I can't think of his name,

00:37:46.081 --> 00:37:47.780
the guy that played One.

00:37:48.221 --> 00:37:49.021
Oh, crud.

00:37:49.041 --> 00:37:49.621
Apparently,

00:37:49.661 --> 00:37:50.942
he'll show up ever so often and play

00:37:50.961 --> 00:37:51.882
his character in the play.

00:37:53.286 --> 00:37:56.168
wow oh uh jamie camelbar yeah yeah

00:37:56.208 --> 00:37:58.690
apparently he's he's done it once or twice

00:37:58.710 --> 00:38:01.030
wow imagine being there the night he does

00:38:01.070 --> 00:38:02.911
that that'd be amazing yeah that's that's

00:38:02.931 --> 00:38:04.092
what we wound up for that was the

00:38:04.112 --> 00:38:05.733
whole basis of that trip was my wife

00:38:05.773 --> 00:38:07.193
and the neighbor they wanted to go see

00:38:07.233 --> 00:38:08.894
tom felton and harry potter and the cursed

00:38:08.914 --> 00:38:11.775
child yeah which like i said let me

00:38:11.795 --> 00:38:13.376
let kevin get his his his talk out

00:38:13.396 --> 00:38:15.538
no you're good i don't want to i

00:38:15.557 --> 00:38:16.938
want to cut into your talk you you

00:38:16.958 --> 00:38:17.599
had a lot more fun

00:38:20.422 --> 00:38:20.483
No.

00:38:20.503 --> 00:38:21.242
I mean, keep going, man.

00:38:21.262 --> 00:38:22.023
Well, I guess the play,

00:38:22.043 --> 00:38:23.244
I don't want to, well,

00:38:23.284 --> 00:38:24.864
I'm trying to do nothing too spoilery

00:38:24.885 --> 00:38:25.706
because I don't want to spoil it for

00:38:25.726 --> 00:38:28.086
anybody who's watching if you haven't seen

00:38:28.126 --> 00:38:28.226
it.

00:38:28.786 --> 00:38:29.967
But the whole base is that it takes

00:38:30.007 --> 00:38:32.628
place twenty years after the events of the

00:38:32.648 --> 00:38:33.409
Deathly Hallows.

00:38:34.289 --> 00:38:37.871
Harry's son and Draco's son, we have,

00:38:38.012 --> 00:38:38.572
well,

00:38:38.592 --> 00:38:40.992
Harry's son is Albus Service and Scorpio

00:38:41.072 --> 00:38:41.994
is Draco's son,

00:38:42.614 --> 00:38:44.514
which the guy who's playing Scorpio in our

00:38:44.534 --> 00:38:46.096
production was amazing.

00:38:46.155 --> 00:38:47.436
Like, his character is

00:38:48.456 --> 00:38:50.617
sympathetic and hilarious at the same time

00:38:50.958 --> 00:38:54.541
yeah yeah but it basically it turns into

00:38:54.601 --> 00:38:56.322
they they're trying to write some wrongs

00:38:56.362 --> 00:38:59.023
from the past and it winds up creating

00:38:59.063 --> 00:39:01.065
whole other nice nice little things that

00:39:01.085 --> 00:39:03.726
happen as time travel does yeah i was

00:39:03.746 --> 00:39:04.606
about to say it had a lot it

00:39:05.067 --> 00:39:08.309
had back to the future vibes yeah there's

00:39:08.429 --> 00:39:10.690
alternate timelines there's time travel

00:39:10.789 --> 00:39:12.331
yeah there's a lot of clocks on that

00:39:12.371 --> 00:39:13.592
stage yeah yeah

00:39:13.811 --> 00:39:14.032
Well, like,

00:39:14.072 --> 00:39:15.012
I don't know how they did for your

00:39:15.032 --> 00:39:15.771
effect, but ours,

00:39:15.793 --> 00:39:17.253
like there was a clock on there.

00:39:17.333 --> 00:39:18.432
They stayed up there the whole time.

00:39:18.452 --> 00:39:19.293
There was like two or three,

00:39:19.592 --> 00:39:21.074
but like whenever they would travel

00:39:21.114 --> 00:39:21.594
through time,

00:39:21.673 --> 00:39:22.914
they would use the time Turner for the

00:39:22.934 --> 00:39:23.773
Harry Potter folks.

00:39:23.813 --> 00:39:24.534
Right.

00:39:24.635 --> 00:39:25.534
And like, it would do like,

00:39:25.594 --> 00:39:26.954
you'd see the clock spin and then it

00:39:26.974 --> 00:39:29.036
would do like this shadow ripple effect.

00:39:29.056 --> 00:39:29.175
Yes.

00:39:29.556 --> 00:39:29.735
Yes.

00:39:30.016 --> 00:39:30.536
I don't know how they,

00:39:31.076 --> 00:39:32.056
I guess it was a projector,

00:39:32.076 --> 00:39:33.177
but that was incredible.

00:39:33.217 --> 00:39:34.137
But it was incredible.

00:39:34.157 --> 00:39:34.456
Yeah.

00:39:34.617 --> 00:39:36.838
all the special effects in that were

00:39:37.018 --> 00:39:39.878
amazing that was cool the dementors was

00:39:39.918 --> 00:39:42.519
very cool yes yeah like some of the

00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:44.260
characters doing the apologies potion

00:39:44.280 --> 00:39:47.382
where they would change yes yes yeah that

00:39:47.402 --> 00:39:49.541
was really cool and i really i really

00:39:49.581 --> 00:39:51.163
liked when when harry got into the

00:39:51.603 --> 00:39:53.824
To the phone booth to go into the

00:39:53.844 --> 00:39:55.025
Ministry of Magic and all of a sudden

00:39:55.045 --> 00:39:56.646
he's just poof.

00:39:57.086 --> 00:39:58.648
How they sucked his robe in there and

00:39:58.668 --> 00:40:00.148
he was gone.

00:40:00.168 --> 00:40:00.989
Some of that was quick.

00:40:01.050 --> 00:40:03.492
It was just sleight of hand and like

00:40:03.632 --> 00:40:05.293
probably that and oh,

00:40:05.492 --> 00:40:06.733
I'm trying to remember what I just lose

00:40:06.753 --> 00:40:08.155
my train of thought about that I liked.

00:40:08.175 --> 00:40:08.896
It was really cool.

00:40:10.384 --> 00:40:11.864
You know, Back to the Future,

00:40:11.905 --> 00:40:13.286
the musical had a really,

00:40:14.067 --> 00:40:16.929
really nice set of special effects.

00:40:17.889 --> 00:40:19.130
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?

00:40:19.610 --> 00:40:20.530
Yeah.

00:40:20.550 --> 00:40:21.652
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child?

00:40:22.152 --> 00:40:22.492
Dang.

00:40:22.773 --> 00:40:23.132
Yeah.

00:40:23.152 --> 00:40:24.114
I don't know if they made it for

00:40:24.134 --> 00:40:24.213
you,

00:40:24.233 --> 00:40:25.775
but there's a certain character reveal.

00:40:26.275 --> 00:40:27.416
There's a character that I don't like,

00:40:27.436 --> 00:40:28.297
so I'm not spoiling for everybody else,

00:40:28.317 --> 00:40:29.637
but there's a character that reveals

00:40:29.677 --> 00:40:31.559
himself when they're finding all the

00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:33.601
writings on the wall with the black light.

00:40:33.621 --> 00:40:34.420
I don't know if they did that in

00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:34.981
your production.

00:40:35.001 --> 00:40:35.101
Yeah.

00:40:35.442 --> 00:40:37.222
But in our production, they're like,

00:40:37.322 --> 00:40:38.143
it's everywhere.

00:40:38.164 --> 00:40:39.284
And when they did like this review,

00:40:39.324 --> 00:40:41.724
the whole entire theater went like to a

00:40:41.764 --> 00:40:43.365
black light and there was stuff written

00:40:43.726 --> 00:40:46.208
all over the theater, like on the walls.

00:40:46.248 --> 00:40:48.088
I mean, there was not an area,

00:40:48.588 --> 00:40:51.650
nothing was not written on.

00:40:51.789 --> 00:40:51.849
No,

00:40:51.990 --> 00:40:54.331
everything was confined to the stage at

00:40:54.371 --> 00:40:55.052
that part.

00:40:55.492 --> 00:40:56.952
But it's just like at the Winter Garden

00:40:56.992 --> 00:40:58.474
when Back to the Future was there.

00:41:00.596 --> 00:41:01.577
all you know when if you go to

00:41:01.617 --> 00:41:03.960
the touring version of back to the future

00:41:04.121 --> 00:41:05.722
all the circuits and everything are kind

00:41:05.762 --> 00:41:07.706
of limited right there to the stage area

00:41:07.806 --> 00:41:09.768
yeah and at the winter garden they were

00:41:09.947 --> 00:41:12.572
all over the walls so yeah time circuits

00:41:12.592 --> 00:41:14.054
were flowing everywhere it was really cool

00:41:14.074 --> 00:41:15.795
yeah but i will say with the back

00:41:15.815 --> 00:41:17.177
to the future version they're

00:41:17.989 --> 00:41:20.130
other than obviously if you'd seen the

00:41:20.170 --> 00:41:21.931
original and then you go see the touring,

00:41:21.952 --> 00:41:23.492
you saw the differences, but it's still,

00:41:23.572 --> 00:41:24.952
it really didn't take much away from it.

00:41:24.992 --> 00:41:26.014
It was, no,

00:41:26.034 --> 00:41:27.534
I guess this is nothing that like ruins

00:41:27.554 --> 00:41:27.614
it,

00:41:27.635 --> 00:41:29.434
but it was just a really neat effect

00:41:29.454 --> 00:41:30.036
to witness.

00:41:30.436 --> 00:41:30.556
Yeah.

00:41:30.576 --> 00:41:31.817
There's different things I know that they

00:41:31.836 --> 00:41:33.757
can do when it's a, you know,

00:41:33.777 --> 00:41:35.197
when it's permanent stage.

00:41:35.217 --> 00:41:35.277
Yes.

00:41:35.297 --> 00:41:35.438
Yes.

00:41:36.159 --> 00:41:36.719
Yeah.

00:41:37.684 --> 00:41:38.646
And like, and for like,

00:41:38.706 --> 00:41:39.887
so the main reason why we went to

00:41:39.907 --> 00:41:41.067
the seat, Tom Filton, his,

00:41:41.568 --> 00:41:42.929
his portrayal is Draco.

00:41:42.989 --> 00:41:44.769
Like you really sympathize with his

00:41:44.809 --> 00:41:46.431
character and you see where he's grown up

00:41:46.490 --> 00:41:48.592
and what he went through, you know,

00:41:48.652 --> 00:41:50.974
even though he was the bad kid, he,

00:41:51.094 --> 00:41:52.235
he, you're sympathetic to him.

00:41:52.295 --> 00:41:53.715
Like he had a lot of pressure on

00:41:53.735 --> 00:41:53.835
him.

00:41:54.155 --> 00:41:55.896
yeah he had a lot of pressure on

00:41:55.936 --> 00:41:58.057
him from his dad and the whole legacy

00:41:58.117 --> 00:42:01.059
and and well that was huge and that's

00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:02.920
there's like there's a good line like you

00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:04.960
understand it as a parent too like the

00:42:05.260 --> 00:42:06.981
with harry and his son because like at

00:42:07.021 --> 00:42:08.181
one point him and his son you know

00:42:08.302 --> 00:42:10.722
they get he did the bar he did

00:42:10.742 --> 00:42:15.164
uh i'm sorry i'm sorry game freakness over

00:42:15.204 --> 00:42:17.826
here trying to bring it in

00:42:21.311 --> 00:42:22.751
Is this a delayed one?

00:42:23.211 --> 00:42:23.771
I don't know.

00:42:23.871 --> 00:42:26.952
He says the one who watched Casper as

00:42:26.972 --> 00:42:28.913
a kid and saw the Ghostbuster cameo and

00:42:28.932 --> 00:42:30.994
didn't understand it then.

00:42:31.094 --> 00:42:32.733
As a kid, probably, yeah.

00:42:32.773 --> 00:42:34.635
But as an adult, you do.

00:42:34.875 --> 00:42:36.914
Oh, yeah.

00:42:36.934 --> 00:42:37.996
Especially the father, Guido.

00:42:43.737 --> 00:42:44.657
And Game Freakness,

00:42:44.777 --> 00:42:47.697
if you are a little bit delayed, hi,

00:42:47.797 --> 00:42:48.938
and we'll see you in a few minutes.

00:42:48.958 --> 00:42:49.498
Yeah.

00:42:52.139 --> 00:42:53.360
The whole production is really good.

00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:56.001
If you're a fan,

00:42:56.041 --> 00:42:57.643
even if you're a casual or hardcore fan,

00:42:57.663 --> 00:42:58.304
definitely watch it.

00:42:58.324 --> 00:42:59.143
If you get a chance to watch The

00:42:59.184 --> 00:43:00.385
Cursed Child, watch it.

00:43:00.465 --> 00:43:03.927
It is really good.

00:43:03.947 --> 00:43:05.407
Yeah, it was.

00:43:05.467 --> 00:43:06.248
Unfortunately,

00:43:06.929 --> 00:43:09.510
we got to see it yesterday in Atlanta

00:43:09.851 --> 00:43:10.831
at the Fox.

00:43:12.072 --> 00:43:15.355
Our seats are pretty high up.

00:43:17.255 --> 00:43:18.317
We've all talked about this.

00:43:19.556 --> 00:43:19.737
We...

00:43:22.233 --> 00:43:24.054
We watch TV with subtitles.

00:43:24.574 --> 00:43:24.936
Yeah.

00:43:25.016 --> 00:43:25.956
And then Brock...

00:43:26.396 --> 00:43:28.458
Especially with Doctor Who and other

00:43:28.498 --> 00:43:29.199
British shows.

00:43:29.938 --> 00:43:31.239
Sometimes, you know,

00:43:31.260 --> 00:43:33.340
the British accent kind of throws us off

00:43:33.380 --> 00:43:34.782
a little bit when you're just trying to

00:43:34.802 --> 00:43:35.302
hear it.

00:43:35.543 --> 00:43:37.503
And they do move pretty fast and talk

00:43:37.543 --> 00:43:38.925
pretty fast in this play.

00:43:39.465 --> 00:43:39.686
So...

00:43:40.173 --> 00:43:43.396
So I miss half the play pretty much.

00:43:43.416 --> 00:43:44.597
I didn't understand half of what they

00:43:44.617 --> 00:43:44.836
said.

00:43:44.896 --> 00:43:46.237
I just like, oh, those are cool effects.

00:43:46.257 --> 00:43:47.358
I just went with it.

00:43:47.677 --> 00:43:48.739
When we had intermission,

00:43:48.798 --> 00:43:50.480
I had to kind of like, okay,

00:43:50.539 --> 00:43:53.601
here's what's going on.

00:43:53.641 --> 00:43:55.322
If you've kind of missed this along the

00:43:55.342 --> 00:43:55.402
way,

00:43:55.422 --> 00:43:56.384
which I don't know if they served it

00:43:56.403 --> 00:43:57.523
for you, by the way, Kevin,

00:43:57.563 --> 00:43:58.364
I want you to know that,

00:43:58.465 --> 00:44:00.925
but that butter beer and captain Morgan is

00:44:00.945 --> 00:44:02.106
a very good combination.

00:44:05.329 --> 00:44:06.710
I saw you post that and I'm like,

00:44:06.769 --> 00:44:09.452
I got to try this now.

00:44:09.472 --> 00:44:10.813
Victoria was immediately like,

00:44:10.853 --> 00:44:11.815
we got to lose weight, babe.

00:44:11.875 --> 00:44:19.760
Tom had big reactions when he came out

00:44:19.820 --> 00:44:22.943
because I've seen the videos.

00:44:22.983 --> 00:44:26.567
When he first steps out, he'll say,

00:44:26.606 --> 00:44:27.887
I think he addresses it because Potter,

00:44:28.128 --> 00:44:29.610
but as soon as he got it out

00:44:29.630 --> 00:44:31.150
of his mouth, he was there.

00:44:31.490 --> 00:44:32.952
he's probably there for about a good solid

00:44:33.012 --> 00:44:34.693
minute to two minutes before everybody

00:44:34.713 --> 00:44:36.735
stopped cheering yeah because i mean it's

00:44:36.755 --> 00:44:38.318
you know it's cool like it's that's one

00:44:38.338 --> 00:44:40.159
thing that's one thing i enjoyed about it

00:44:40.199 --> 00:44:42.001
too is you know you see him portray

00:44:42.021 --> 00:44:43.382
his character and i like that that's you

00:44:43.402 --> 00:44:44.784
know and he's of the age he would

00:44:44.824 --> 00:44:46.465
be really yeah he's his exact age yeah

00:44:46.525 --> 00:44:49.648
no it's good he's able to come back

00:44:49.688 --> 00:44:51.150
and now play this part at this point

00:44:51.170 --> 00:44:52.490
in his life too yeah yeah

00:44:52.811 --> 00:44:53.431
And like the,

00:44:53.512 --> 00:44:55.074
I guess the guy playing Harry was really

00:44:55.114 --> 00:44:55.434
good.

00:44:55.474 --> 00:44:56.615
Like he, he, him and his,

00:44:56.856 --> 00:44:58.077
you understand like he's, he's,

00:44:58.297 --> 00:44:59.518
he's worried about the weight of being

00:44:59.539 --> 00:45:00.679
Harry Potter still.

00:45:01.161 --> 00:45:01.581
Like there's a,

00:45:01.621 --> 00:45:03.063
there's interaction where he's, uh,

00:45:03.483 --> 00:45:04.844
he's dealing with his son and his son's

00:45:04.885 --> 00:45:05.927
like, you know, uh, you know,

00:45:05.967 --> 00:45:07.208
I don't think it wouldn't, it was like,

00:45:07.929 --> 00:45:09.231
I, I, I hate that you're my,

00:45:09.311 --> 00:45:10.411
you know, I'm your, uh,

00:45:11.108 --> 00:45:12.608
I'm you're my dad or whatever.

00:45:12.708 --> 00:45:13.409
And like, and when he,

00:45:13.630 --> 00:45:14.349
when he files off,

00:45:14.389 --> 00:45:15.871
I think the intention was, I'm sorry,

00:45:15.891 --> 00:45:17.072
you have to live the weight with being

00:45:17.112 --> 00:45:17.452
my son.

00:45:17.472 --> 00:45:17.931
But he was like, well,

00:45:17.952 --> 00:45:18.972
I hate that you're my son.

00:45:19.032 --> 00:45:19.353
Or he says,

00:45:19.413 --> 00:45:20.873
I dislike that you're my son.

00:45:21.693 --> 00:45:22.574
And that was him trying to,

00:45:22.635 --> 00:45:23.474
I know he was trying to say,

00:45:23.494 --> 00:45:25.376
you know, I think it was intention was,

00:45:25.755 --> 00:45:26.117
I'm sorry,

00:45:26.137 --> 00:45:27.077
you have to deal with all this.

00:45:27.097 --> 00:45:27.918
Cause you're my son.

00:45:28.277 --> 00:45:28.438
Right.

00:45:28.478 --> 00:45:28.818
You know,

00:45:28.858 --> 00:45:30.179
I dislike you that you're my son.

00:45:30.978 --> 00:45:32.960
There's also really not an easy way of

00:45:33.000 --> 00:45:34.601
saying that without sounding pretentious.

00:45:35.322 --> 00:45:35.902
I'm so sorry.

00:45:35.942 --> 00:45:37.302
You got to deal with this because you're

00:45:37.342 --> 00:45:37.963
my son.

00:45:38.282 --> 00:45:38.583
Yeah.

00:45:38.603 --> 00:45:39.184
You know,

00:45:39.672 --> 00:45:40.532
but that was just, it was like,

00:45:40.952 --> 00:45:41.472
as a parent,

00:45:41.492 --> 00:45:42.833
there's a lot of good conversation that

00:45:42.853 --> 00:45:43.353
happens in it,

00:45:43.373 --> 00:45:46.094
but see that play and then flying back.

00:45:46.375 --> 00:45:46.855
Cool.

00:45:47.355 --> 00:45:48.114
No worries.

00:45:48.195 --> 00:45:49.474
Same, same thing in reverse.

00:45:49.514 --> 00:45:50.255
I slept this time.

00:45:50.295 --> 00:45:50.876
So that was nice.

00:45:50.896 --> 00:45:52.576
It was like, Oh, Hey, we're back home.

00:45:52.715 --> 00:45:56.317
So, and there's bows.

00:45:56.777 --> 00:45:56.936
Yeah.

00:45:57.277 --> 00:45:58.257
I think of all the time here.

00:45:58.297 --> 00:45:59.117
So you go ahead, Kevin.

00:45:59.177 --> 00:45:59.657
I'm sorry.

00:46:00.438 --> 00:46:00.757
Yeah.

00:46:01.297 --> 00:46:04.719
Uh, so looking at flights, um, uh,

00:46:05.739 --> 00:46:08.101
When we first started off, we, you know,

00:46:08.141 --> 00:46:09.021
we went to, well,

00:46:09.041 --> 00:46:11.463
I'll preface this by saying my fiance and

00:46:11.643 --> 00:46:11.764
I,

00:46:13.244 --> 00:46:15.746
I arranged a trip that we could go

00:46:15.806 --> 00:46:17.186
to Iceland for her.

00:46:17.806 --> 00:46:18.947
She's turning fifty this year.

00:46:19.407 --> 00:46:20.128
Sorry, honey,

00:46:20.409 --> 00:46:21.369
if I'm telling everybody your age.

00:46:22.469 --> 00:46:24.070
But you tend to be okay with it.

00:46:24.110 --> 00:46:24.891
We're all getting there.

00:46:24.971 --> 00:46:26.210
It's okay.

00:46:26.231 --> 00:46:27.311
She does not look like it.

00:46:27.331 --> 00:46:28.291
No, she does not.

00:46:28.311 --> 00:46:29.092
No, she doesn't at all.

00:46:30.753 --> 00:46:32.313
But yeah, she's turning fifty this year.

00:46:32.512 --> 00:46:34.554
And we're getting married a little bit

00:46:34.594 --> 00:46:35.434
later this year.

00:46:35.474 --> 00:46:36.494
So we want to go ahead and get

00:46:36.634 --> 00:46:38.195
her birthday thing out of the way.

00:46:38.215 --> 00:46:39.235
So I said, well,

00:46:39.715 --> 00:46:40.976
where would you want to go for your

00:46:40.996 --> 00:46:41.335
birthday?

00:46:41.356 --> 00:46:41.835
And she said,

00:46:42.195 --> 00:46:42.896
I want to go to Iceland.

00:46:42.956 --> 00:46:45.496
I was like, okay, let's do it.

00:46:46.137 --> 00:46:47.737
So I got this thing planned last year.

00:46:48.489 --> 00:46:51.554
And of course, as trips as trips happen,

00:46:51.853 --> 00:46:54.617
ours wasn't quite as stress free as Bo's

00:46:54.998 --> 00:46:58.061
because we had to kind of we had

00:46:58.081 --> 00:46:59.663
to win the panic mode because, you know,

00:46:59.702 --> 00:47:02.686
New York got like eighteen inches of of

00:47:02.746 --> 00:47:03.206
snow.

00:47:03.788 --> 00:47:04.289
Right.

00:47:04.889 --> 00:47:07.032
And thankfully we were I was watching it

00:47:07.112 --> 00:47:08.414
all the way up until like the day

00:47:08.514 --> 00:47:08.733
of the

00:47:09.134 --> 00:47:11.516
The day before, my fiancee,

00:47:11.675 --> 00:47:12.516
she's stressing out.

00:47:13.177 --> 00:47:15.498
And we got on the planes.

00:47:15.619 --> 00:47:17.681
Everything went no problem whatsoever.

00:47:17.940 --> 00:47:18.961
We got the JFK.

00:47:20.483 --> 00:47:21.643
I work with a lot of folks that

00:47:21.684 --> 00:47:25.146
live up in the northeast and south.

00:47:27.188 --> 00:47:29.289
and Maryland and Michigan and things like

00:47:29.309 --> 00:47:29.449
that.

00:47:29.610 --> 00:47:31.070
And they're like, dude, you have no,

00:47:31.152 --> 00:47:31.871
it's no problem.

00:47:32.072 --> 00:47:32.492
It's New York.

00:47:32.532 --> 00:47:33.452
They deal with this stuff.

00:47:33.512 --> 00:47:34.914
They've got the infrastructure for it.

00:47:35.375 --> 00:47:36.255
It's not a big deal.

00:47:36.335 --> 00:47:36.775
They've got a,

00:47:37.096 --> 00:47:38.536
they've got a mayor up there now who

00:47:38.556 --> 00:47:40.679
was literally giving people jobs to shovel

00:47:40.699 --> 00:47:41.639
snow, you know?

00:47:41.699 --> 00:47:42.800
So it's not going to be a big

00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:43.041
deal.

00:47:43.061 --> 00:47:44.442
And it really wasn't when we got there.

00:47:44.501 --> 00:47:47.583
So our, our flight to, to JFK,

00:47:47.603 --> 00:47:49.666
you know, Bo did LaGuardia.

00:47:49.786 --> 00:47:50.246
I did JFK.

00:47:51.487 --> 00:47:54.708
Because we took Iceland air left from JFK.

00:47:56.050 --> 00:47:58.711
We land just south of Reykjavik,

00:47:58.731 --> 00:48:01.594
which I'm probably butchering that word,

00:48:02.653 --> 00:48:04.775
which is the capital of Iceland.

00:48:05.476 --> 00:48:08.777
And it was interesting because we started

00:48:08.818 --> 00:48:12.239
off that morning, flew until midday.

00:48:12.601 --> 00:48:14.262
That evening, we got on the plane,

00:48:15.061 --> 00:48:16.143
flew to Iceland.

00:48:16.463 --> 00:48:17.583
And then as soon as we get there,

00:48:17.603 --> 00:48:18.844
we get on the bus and start our

00:48:18.864 --> 00:48:19.065
day.

00:48:19.965 --> 00:48:20.186
Right.

00:48:20.306 --> 00:48:21.746
So we're talking like, you know,

00:48:21.766 --> 00:48:23.467
twenty four, almost thirty two hours.

00:48:23.567 --> 00:48:25.067
We're going like constant.

00:48:25.447 --> 00:48:27.907
So that first day I'm going to show

00:48:27.927 --> 00:48:28.947
you guys some pictures.

00:48:29.347 --> 00:48:32.248
There's a very good I'm very glad that

00:48:32.289 --> 00:48:35.250
we didn't just like crash out and we

00:48:35.269 --> 00:48:37.010
were just running on adrenaline pure

00:48:37.730 --> 00:48:38.429
toward the evening.

00:48:38.911 --> 00:48:41.570
But basically it was an arranged tour by

00:48:41.710 --> 00:48:43.371
I will totally plug them by a company

00:48:43.411 --> 00:48:44.572
called Gate One Travel.

00:48:45.052 --> 00:48:46.692
I've used them before when I went to

00:48:46.791 --> 00:48:47.353
Australia.

00:48:47.432 --> 00:48:48.612
I used Gate One Travel.

00:48:48.833 --> 00:48:48.853
I

00:48:49.273 --> 00:48:51.054
fully if you ever need a what a

00:48:51.094 --> 00:48:53.195
recommendation and you want to talk to me

00:48:53.215 --> 00:48:56.759
about it they're good folks um a plus

00:48:56.778 --> 00:49:00.101
but um they they it was a pre-arranged

00:49:00.141 --> 00:49:01.782
tour with a whole lot of different

00:49:01.802 --> 00:49:03.224
destinations and things that you could go

00:49:03.264 --> 00:49:05.445
to uh the big thing is is this

00:49:05.465 --> 00:49:07.108
was a northern lights pursuit um

00:49:07.907 --> 00:49:09.307
Anybody that knows me has probably heard

00:49:09.347 --> 00:49:10.889
me jawing about it before.

00:49:11.329 --> 00:49:13.068
I went to Alaska.

00:49:13.088 --> 00:49:14.590
I've been to Alaska twice in my life,

00:49:14.650 --> 00:49:19.391
both times during very high ratios of

00:49:19.510 --> 00:49:20.210
northern lights.

00:49:21.490 --> 00:49:22.271
The first time I went,

00:49:22.291 --> 00:49:25.552
the northern light scale goes from like

00:49:25.592 --> 00:49:26.291
zero to nine.

00:49:26.311 --> 00:49:27.112
It was like a seven.

00:49:28.132 --> 00:49:28.793
The second time I went,

00:49:28.813 --> 00:49:29.452
it was like a six.

00:49:30.507 --> 00:49:33.289
And neither times I saw the Northern

00:49:33.309 --> 00:49:35.630
Lights because there is massive cloud

00:49:35.650 --> 00:49:37.371
cover both times.

00:49:37.751 --> 00:49:39.253
Was so upset about it both times I

00:49:39.273 --> 00:49:39.534
went.

00:49:39.974 --> 00:49:41.936
So this time it was the same thing

00:49:41.956 --> 00:49:42.635
for my fiance.

00:49:42.655 --> 00:49:43.896
She had never seen them either.

00:49:44.657 --> 00:49:45.958
Thankfully with this trip,

00:49:45.998 --> 00:49:46.739
we got to see them.

00:49:46.778 --> 00:49:47.860
The first night was the best.

00:49:47.900 --> 00:49:50.722
We actually had a KP index of three,

00:49:51.161 --> 00:49:52.943
which doesn't sound like it's pretty big,

00:49:53.123 --> 00:49:55.264
but I'll show you guys really quickly.

00:49:56.485 --> 00:49:58.588
This, when we got in in the evening,

00:50:00.083 --> 00:50:00.903
This was our hotel.

00:50:01.425 --> 00:50:03.427
It was in Helga, Iceland,

00:50:03.869 --> 00:50:06.132
which is spelled Hela, Iceland,

00:50:06.152 --> 00:50:06.853
but it's Helga.

00:50:07.855 --> 00:50:08.976
I'm sorry, not Helga.

00:50:09.077 --> 00:50:09.396
Jeez.

00:50:10.277 --> 00:50:11.500
Icelanders are looking at me and like

00:50:11.539 --> 00:50:11.981
facepalming.

00:50:12.141 --> 00:50:12.501
Hekla.

00:50:12.954 --> 00:50:14.615
It's Hekla, Iceland, Jesus.

00:50:15.677 --> 00:50:16.677
Yeah, you got it right.

00:50:17.498 --> 00:50:17.797
No,

00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:21.219
this hotel is called the Land Hotel in

00:50:21.360 --> 00:50:21.719
Iceland.

00:50:21.860 --> 00:50:22.721
You can look it up.

00:50:22.981 --> 00:50:24.742
It's a really cool hotel that was very

00:50:24.782 --> 00:50:25.382
purpose-built.

00:50:26.744 --> 00:50:28.804
As you can see from the pictures,

00:50:28.885 --> 00:50:30.766
likely all of those little lights that are

00:50:30.786 --> 00:50:31.586
on the side of that building,

00:50:31.847 --> 00:50:34.347
those are hotel rooms that point out into

00:50:34.387 --> 00:50:35.449
an open pasture area.

00:50:36.201 --> 00:50:37.623
into the Northern sky.

00:50:37.663 --> 00:50:38.923
So you can sit in your,

00:50:39.083 --> 00:50:40.286
in your room and you can look at

00:50:40.326 --> 00:50:42.108
the Northern lights if you want to.

00:50:42.288 --> 00:50:43.188
I wasn't going to do that.

00:50:43.289 --> 00:50:45.010
I brought awesome cold weather gear.

00:50:45.090 --> 00:50:47.434
It was super cold, like giga cold.

00:50:47.949 --> 00:50:50.152
But we were out there, darn near asleep,

00:50:51.273 --> 00:50:52.574
getting some really cool photos.

00:50:52.653 --> 00:50:53.414
Let me show you guys.

00:50:53.735 --> 00:50:54.034
I mean,

00:50:54.215 --> 00:50:56.436
how many times in your life would you

00:50:56.476 --> 00:50:58.759
have the opportunity to do this?

00:50:59.179 --> 00:51:00.820
I'm like, look, we're bundling up.

00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:02.742
We're getting out there.

00:51:02.822 --> 00:51:03.302
Exactly.

00:51:04.324 --> 00:51:07.065
So this is after we did a couple

00:51:07.085 --> 00:51:08.827
of different rounds of this.

00:51:08.867 --> 00:51:10.068
This is the first time we went out.

00:51:11.530 --> 00:51:12.630
And the thing I will say about the

00:51:12.670 --> 00:51:13.331
Northern Lights,

00:51:14.010 --> 00:51:16.492
our guide warned us that people experience

00:51:16.512 --> 00:51:17.592
the Northern Lights differently.

00:51:17.612 --> 00:51:20.355
It depends on its biology.

00:51:20.514 --> 00:51:22.036
It's just the quality of eyes.

00:51:22.115 --> 00:51:24.817
And my eyes are as bad as Brock's

00:51:24.916 --> 00:51:25.197
ears.

00:51:25.438 --> 00:51:27.719
Okay.

00:51:28.018 --> 00:51:30.621
I'm so sorry.

00:51:30.641 --> 00:51:34.503
Apparently, it's interesting.

00:51:35.322 --> 00:51:37.764
I'll try to describe seeing them if you've

00:51:37.804 --> 00:51:38.684
never seen them before.

00:51:39.206 --> 00:51:39.726
It's like...

00:51:41.768 --> 00:51:43.110
If you're looking at that right there,

00:51:43.150 --> 00:51:43.869
you see the green.

00:51:44.469 --> 00:51:44.971
The thing is,

00:51:45.010 --> 00:51:47.251
is everything that we've seen on the

00:51:47.291 --> 00:51:49.311
internet and you've seen in the past and

00:51:50.012 --> 00:51:51.632
the videos of all the stop motion and

00:51:51.672 --> 00:51:53.273
everything, that's done with a camera.

00:51:53.313 --> 00:51:55.034
Cameras can naturally see better than we

00:51:55.054 --> 00:51:55.255
can.

00:51:55.275 --> 00:51:57.195
They can pick up northern lights better

00:51:57.215 --> 00:51:57.715
than we can.

00:51:57.735 --> 00:51:58.936
They can see the colors better than we

00:51:58.956 --> 00:51:59.155
can.

00:51:59.757 --> 00:52:01.416
When I was looking at that exact same

00:52:01.456 --> 00:52:01.677
thing,

00:52:01.777 --> 00:52:03.577
it looked like wispy clouds running

00:52:03.617 --> 00:52:03.898
across.

00:52:04.137 --> 00:52:05.219
It was black and white.

00:52:06.063 --> 00:52:07.826
I didn't see that green at all.

00:52:08.246 --> 00:52:10.148
It was, but the thing is,

00:52:10.208 --> 00:52:10.869
is once you,

00:52:11.429 --> 00:52:12.731
once you've seen them and you've seen them

00:52:12.791 --> 00:52:15.333
refract, like almost like a prism,

00:52:15.934 --> 00:52:18.936
you start to notice them.

00:52:19.016 --> 00:52:21.259
It's almost like really thin clouds, like,

00:52:21.378 --> 00:52:23.460
like a really long chemtrail from a,

00:52:24.081 --> 00:52:25.463
from a, I say chemtrail,

00:52:25.503 --> 00:52:27.963
like an exhaust trail from a plane or

00:52:28.023 --> 00:52:28.384
something.

00:52:29.264 --> 00:52:30.724
Like it's really been thinned out,

00:52:30.764 --> 00:52:31.485
like really long,

00:52:31.844 --> 00:52:33.186
that you can see through really good.

00:52:33.746 --> 00:52:34.726
It looks like that.

00:52:35.567 --> 00:52:37.608
And once you identify them and you're able

00:52:37.648 --> 00:52:38.947
to like pull up your camera and go,

00:52:39.068 --> 00:52:39.929
oh, that's what that is.

00:52:40.208 --> 00:52:41.889
You're able to spot it every single time.

00:52:41.949 --> 00:52:42.670
It's not a big deal.

00:52:43.050 --> 00:52:44.570
So this was one of the first ones

00:52:44.590 --> 00:52:45.291
that we spotted

00:52:46.291 --> 00:52:46.771
And after that,

00:52:46.831 --> 00:52:49.215
I was kind of like the lookout and

00:52:49.255 --> 00:52:50.978
I was watching for all of the different

00:52:53.079 --> 00:52:53.561
displays.

00:52:53.601 --> 00:52:56.844
And it's the same as weather watching

00:52:56.885 --> 00:52:57.365
anything else.

00:52:57.385 --> 00:52:58.266
You have to be there a while.

00:52:59.648 --> 00:53:00.909
These things will pop up and then they'll

00:53:00.929 --> 00:53:01.371
go away.

00:53:01.951 --> 00:53:03.273
But then they'll move and then you'll see

00:53:03.293 --> 00:53:04.373
some over here and they'll go away.

00:53:05.144 --> 00:53:07.786
um there's another really good one oh

00:53:07.806 --> 00:53:10.369
that's good yeah that was very very clear

00:53:10.730 --> 00:53:12.652
um that you could see and there were

00:53:12.731 --> 00:53:15.494
some times and granted we only had a

00:53:15.534 --> 00:53:17.096
kp index of three so there were some

00:53:17.135 --> 00:53:18.376
times where it would get bright enough

00:53:18.396 --> 00:53:19.958
that i could see faint green

00:53:21.106 --> 00:53:23.387
Um, so when you do, when, when,

00:53:23.608 --> 00:53:25.288
when the KP index is high,

00:53:25.327 --> 00:53:26.168
you do see colors,

00:53:26.188 --> 00:53:29.268
you start seeing reds and purples kind of

00:53:29.289 --> 00:53:30.849
like we did here in Birmingham when we

00:53:30.889 --> 00:53:32.269
saw that really far South where we saw

00:53:32.289 --> 00:53:35.090
like the deep red and the purple colors,

00:53:35.630 --> 00:53:36.891
but you still really could only pick that

00:53:36.931 --> 00:53:38.411
up really well with your camera.

00:53:38.451 --> 00:53:41.692
So, um, so yeah, the first night we,

00:53:41.711 --> 00:53:42.811
you know, after this,

00:53:42.851 --> 00:53:44.532
we crashed out because it was like two

00:53:44.572 --> 00:53:45.532
o'clock in the morning and we, we,

00:53:45.672 --> 00:53:47.974
and we had to be up at seven

00:53:48.034 --> 00:53:48.893
and it's, it's,

00:53:50.344 --> 00:53:51.806
I will say if you do a gate

00:53:51.865 --> 00:53:53.427
one tour, if you want to relax,

00:53:53.586 --> 00:53:55.608
don't do one because they want to get

00:53:55.648 --> 00:53:57.409
you as much value out of the tour

00:53:57.449 --> 00:53:58.050
as possible.

00:53:58.489 --> 00:53:59.251
So they're going to,

00:53:59.911 --> 00:54:00.931
you're going to be getting up at a

00:54:00.972 --> 00:54:02.032
regular time in the morning,

00:54:02.572 --> 00:54:03.974
getting your breakfast and then getting on

00:54:04.014 --> 00:54:05.434
a bus or getting on a plane or

00:54:05.474 --> 00:54:07.036
getting on something and going and doing

00:54:07.056 --> 00:54:08.836
things and going and seeing this and going

00:54:08.896 --> 00:54:09.097
here.

00:54:10.097 --> 00:54:10.297
Yeah.

00:54:11.670 --> 00:54:14.112
Yeah.

00:54:16.235 --> 00:54:16.936
This one's actually,

00:54:17.117 --> 00:54:18.338
I'm kind of going in the future here

00:54:18.358 --> 00:54:18.659
a little bit.

00:54:18.679 --> 00:54:19.619
This is one of the last days I

00:54:19.639 --> 00:54:20.380
was in Iceland.

00:54:21.702 --> 00:54:23.543
You might be able to see him behind

00:54:23.585 --> 00:54:24.405
me a little bit.

00:54:24.485 --> 00:54:27.329
It's kind of small, but there is a...

00:54:29.547 --> 00:54:31.509
a supermarket chain in Iceland called

00:54:31.548 --> 00:54:32.090
Bonus.

00:54:33.170 --> 00:54:34.471
And that's Bonus the pig.

00:54:34.650 --> 00:54:37.713
So I made it a goal of mine

00:54:37.753 --> 00:54:40.153
that when I went to Iceland that my

00:54:40.173 --> 00:54:41.135
fiance, thankfully,

00:54:41.474 --> 00:54:42.815
was very amenable to this.

00:54:43.096 --> 00:54:45.378
She walked from the hotel to this place

00:54:45.398 --> 00:54:46.818
with me, took the picture.

00:54:47.139 --> 00:54:48.539
We went in and got our groceries and

00:54:48.579 --> 00:54:48.880
stuff.

00:54:49.760 --> 00:54:51.963
Food in Iceland is as expensive as you

00:54:51.983 --> 00:54:52.262
heard.

00:54:52.463 --> 00:54:53.324
It is expensive.

00:54:54.786 --> 00:54:58.829
But I got several of the reusable bags

00:54:59.510 --> 00:55:00.311
with Bonus the pig,

00:55:01.934 --> 00:55:06.038
who is the illegitimate cousin, child,

00:55:06.518 --> 00:55:07.940
or whatever of Piggly Wiggly.

00:55:08.260 --> 00:55:10.262
I'm convinced because he's very similar.

00:55:10.891 --> 00:55:11.853
Yes.

00:55:11.913 --> 00:55:13.474
Roxy, if you look at the resemblance,

00:55:13.494 --> 00:55:14.195
it's uncanny.

00:55:14.536 --> 00:55:17.000
This is the Piggly Wiggly of Iceland,

00:55:17.059 --> 00:55:17.840
right?

00:55:17.880 --> 00:55:17.981
Yes.

00:55:18.581 --> 00:55:19.083
The pig.

00:55:19.262 --> 00:55:20.103
We both call it the pig,

00:55:20.143 --> 00:55:21.085
either way you're going.

00:55:22.838 --> 00:55:25.601
This beautiful sculpture is called the Sun

00:55:25.641 --> 00:55:26.222
Voyager.

00:55:26.461 --> 00:55:27.242
As you can see,

00:55:27.302 --> 00:55:28.364
we can see the shape of it.

00:55:28.384 --> 00:55:29.324
It's a Viking ship.

00:55:29.405 --> 00:55:30.327
Yeah.

00:55:31.208 --> 00:55:32.469
And that in the background,

00:55:32.509 --> 00:55:35.211
those are some of the mountains that these

00:55:35.231 --> 00:55:37.153
people see all the time in Reykjavik in

00:55:37.574 --> 00:55:37.875
Iceland.

00:55:37.894 --> 00:55:38.876
This is just their backdrop.

00:55:38.896 --> 00:55:40.538
Yeah, just every day.

00:55:40.577 --> 00:55:41.338
That's like every day for them.

00:55:41.358 --> 00:55:42.500
I'm like, wow,

00:55:42.539 --> 00:55:43.661
you guys have it so bad.

00:55:43.701 --> 00:55:44.141
And granted.

00:55:44.181 --> 00:55:44.461
Yeah.

00:55:44.855 --> 00:55:47.476
we're there in the winter and it it's,

00:55:47.856 --> 00:55:49.097
you know, the weather's pretty poopy.

00:55:49.259 --> 00:55:50.940
It's, it's not, it's not great.

00:55:51.780 --> 00:55:52.501
You know, it's, it's,

00:55:52.601 --> 00:55:53.481
it's snow everywhere.

00:55:53.501 --> 00:55:54.041
And, but if you're,

00:55:54.101 --> 00:55:55.103
if you're used to that and you're an

00:55:55.123 --> 00:55:56.403
Icelander, you know, you're,

00:55:56.443 --> 00:55:57.364
that's just kind of,

00:55:57.445 --> 00:55:58.545
that's just kind of life.

00:55:58.686 --> 00:55:59.045
Yeah.

00:55:59.065 --> 00:55:59.927
That's just what it is.

00:56:00.007 --> 00:56:00.327
Yeah.

00:56:00.387 --> 00:56:01.088
It's just, yeah.

00:56:01.208 --> 00:56:01.949
It's just Tuesday.

00:56:02.349 --> 00:56:02.568
Right.

00:56:03.909 --> 00:56:06.731
um and reggie victor is a very beautiful

00:56:06.831 --> 00:56:09.054
building called the harp um which is like

00:56:09.074 --> 00:56:10.795
a concert hall this is the inside of

00:56:10.835 --> 00:56:12.996
it and all of that is made out

00:56:13.117 --> 00:56:15.878
of uh the same stuff that uh like

00:56:15.898 --> 00:56:18.721
the glass that that comes from uh the

00:56:18.740 --> 00:56:22.322
formation of lava oh and it's it is

00:56:22.923 --> 00:56:24.065
some of the most beautiful

00:56:24.605 --> 00:56:25.365
It was,

00:56:25.385 --> 00:56:26.748
we spent as much time in there as

00:56:26.768 --> 00:56:27.068
we could.

00:56:27.088 --> 00:56:29.050
And I was just like, like looking around,

00:56:29.331 --> 00:56:31.012
like going full tourist mode on it.

00:56:31.994 --> 00:56:33.175
But thankfully everybody in there was a

00:56:33.215 --> 00:56:33.657
tourist too.

00:56:33.697 --> 00:56:34.338
So it was a little too bad.

00:56:36.990 --> 00:56:39.753
This right here actually made me laugh so

00:56:39.793 --> 00:56:40.072
much.

00:56:41.715 --> 00:56:42.175
Apparently,

00:56:42.295 --> 00:56:43.376
at some point in their history,

00:56:43.416 --> 00:56:44.737
they were obsessed with American school

00:56:44.757 --> 00:56:45.117
buses,

00:56:45.177 --> 00:56:47.920
so much so that they stripped them down

00:56:48.440 --> 00:56:50.981
and they sent them over to Iceland because

00:56:51.081 --> 00:56:52.362
they have school buses there.

00:56:52.402 --> 00:56:54.724
They just use charter buses like we would

00:56:54.784 --> 00:56:57.387
use for going to a football game when

00:56:57.407 --> 00:57:00.208
you're highfalutin and you rent the

00:57:00.248 --> 00:57:00.829
charter buses.

00:57:00.869 --> 00:57:02.130
They use those for school buses.

00:57:02.811 --> 00:57:03.251
Here,

00:57:03.990 --> 00:57:06.672
they were so obsessed with our school

00:57:06.692 --> 00:57:08.472
buses that they had several of them sent

00:57:08.492 --> 00:57:08.652
over.

00:57:08.672 --> 00:57:10.853
So there's actually a chain of restaurants

00:57:11.833 --> 00:57:13.914
in Iceland that are American school bus

00:57:13.994 --> 00:57:14.394
restaurants.

00:57:14.414 --> 00:57:15.815
Did you go eat at a school bus?

00:57:17.036 --> 00:57:18.255
Wow.

00:57:18.655 --> 00:57:20.277
And the lights are flashing and

00:57:20.436 --> 00:57:21.016
everything.

00:57:22.005 --> 00:57:23.344
I love it.

00:57:23.425 --> 00:57:24.226
It blew my mind.

00:57:24.246 --> 00:57:26.286
I was like, talk about some culture shock.

00:57:26.306 --> 00:57:27.827
That looks like the same bus that I

00:57:28.226 --> 00:57:30.947
went to school on when I was a

00:57:30.967 --> 00:57:31.047
kid.

00:57:31.088 --> 00:57:32.789
Cheese wagon.

00:57:32.829 --> 00:57:33.969
Did they serve cheese in there?

00:57:35.929 --> 00:57:36.329
I don't know.

00:57:36.349 --> 00:57:40.411
Did the VIPs get the short bus?

00:57:40.431 --> 00:57:41.652
You can get less people in there.

00:57:41.751 --> 00:57:45.052
It was full.

00:57:45.592 --> 00:57:47.034
There were cars there and everything.

00:57:47.074 --> 00:57:47.713
It was pretty full.

00:57:48.054 --> 00:57:49.594
That's hilarious.

00:57:51.983 --> 00:57:52.943
We see one every morning.

00:57:53.744 --> 00:57:54.324
And this is,

00:57:54.463 --> 00:57:55.965
I think this one is Skolfoss,

00:57:56.045 --> 00:58:00.226
which is one of the largest waterfalls

00:58:00.586 --> 00:58:00.827
there.

00:58:01.547 --> 00:58:03.487
And that's glacier water, by the way.

00:58:03.507 --> 00:58:04.867
That comes straight off glacier water.

00:58:04.887 --> 00:58:05.909
You can just walk up there and drink

00:58:05.929 --> 00:58:05.989
it.

00:58:06.009 --> 00:58:07.728
Not like I was going to because it

00:58:07.748 --> 00:58:08.409
was freezing.

00:58:08.429 --> 00:58:10.090
You know, at that point,

00:58:10.110 --> 00:58:12.150
you get close to it and the water's

00:58:12.170 --> 00:58:13.452
hitting you and it feels like you're,

00:58:13.492 --> 00:58:15.693
you know, it's crazy.

00:58:15.713 --> 00:58:16.472
It was pretty bad.

00:58:17.702 --> 00:58:19.284
Um, and just to give you an idea,

00:58:19.304 --> 00:58:20.726
I threw this one in there.

00:58:21.206 --> 00:58:22.806
You see the snow blowing across the road

00:58:22.827 --> 00:58:23.467
and everything.

00:58:23.568 --> 00:58:23.847
Yeah.

00:58:24.369 --> 00:58:24.588
Yeah.

00:58:24.688 --> 00:58:26.690
It was, uh, that was the entire time.

00:58:27.110 --> 00:58:29.092
Like they never, that never stopped.

00:58:29.393 --> 00:58:31.414
Um, we, we, we ran into snow.

00:58:31.474 --> 00:58:34.056
We ran, it was the full experience.

00:58:34.076 --> 00:58:35.797
And I work with, uh,

00:58:35.818 --> 00:58:37.639
folks from Michigan and they were like,

00:58:37.699 --> 00:58:39.701
why would you voluntarily go to that?

00:58:40.121 --> 00:58:41.204
We deal with that all winter.

00:58:41.324 --> 00:58:42.686
I'm not going to go because I was

00:58:42.726 --> 00:58:43.387
telling them this.

00:58:44.009 --> 00:58:45.291
And the last night we were there,

00:58:46.293 --> 00:58:49.960
it was negative twenty Fahrenheit.

00:58:50.798 --> 00:58:51.079
Of course,

00:58:51.139 --> 00:58:53.081
I did also learn that at around

00:58:53.141 --> 00:58:55.123
negative-seventeen Fahrenheit and Celsius

00:58:55.202 --> 00:58:57.784
actually kind of merge and cross.

00:58:58.565 --> 00:58:58.806
Cold, cold.

00:58:58.826 --> 00:58:59.746
Because of the way that it works.

00:58:59.766 --> 00:59:01.929
Yeah, cold is cold.

00:59:01.949 --> 00:59:03.110
They basically get to the point where they

00:59:03.130 --> 00:59:04.510
agree that this is freaking cold.

00:59:04.911 --> 00:59:08.114
This is effectively cold.

00:59:09.094 --> 00:59:10.795
And there was a thirty-five mile an hour

00:59:10.876 --> 00:59:11.956
wind going on as well.

00:59:11.976 --> 00:59:13.157
So the windshield was nuts.

00:59:13.197 --> 00:59:14.739
That's going to cut right through you.

00:59:15.500 --> 00:59:17.362
Well, the thing was, I will say

00:59:18.688 --> 00:59:19.668
I got the right jacket.

00:59:20.510 --> 00:59:21.710
I had multiple layers on.

00:59:21.869 --> 00:59:23.911
I stood outside looking for the Aurora for

00:59:23.931 --> 00:59:25.472
an hour without getting back in the bus.

00:59:25.592 --> 00:59:26.472
People thought I was crazy.

00:59:26.492 --> 00:59:27.253
I'm like, I'm warm.

00:59:27.552 --> 00:59:28.193
I feel great.

00:59:28.552 --> 00:59:30.853
I think our parkas would take to that

00:59:30.914 --> 00:59:31.414
kind of weather.

00:59:31.815 --> 00:59:33.155
Yeah.

00:59:33.175 --> 00:59:35.235
The key is layers, by the way.

00:59:35.255 --> 00:59:35.775
It's layers.

00:59:35.876 --> 00:59:39.318
I had one of those middle-aged man vests

00:59:39.818 --> 00:59:43.099
on that had there and then a layer

00:59:43.139 --> 00:59:44.480
under that and then long sleeves and I

00:59:44.500 --> 00:59:45.179
was fine.

00:59:45.239 --> 00:59:45.661
It felt great.

00:59:45.701 --> 00:59:45.820
Yeah.

00:59:50.527 --> 00:59:52.909
This is in Vik, which is Vik,

00:59:53.309 --> 00:59:55.971
which is the southernmost point of

00:59:56.451 --> 00:59:56.891
Iceland.

00:59:57.452 --> 00:59:59.112
And those are called the Three Trolls.

00:59:59.969 --> 01:00:00.909
Everything in Iceland,

01:00:00.929 --> 01:00:01.730
everything's about trolls.

01:00:01.769 --> 01:00:02.670
Everything's trolls.

01:00:02.690 --> 01:00:03.552
They came from trolls.

01:00:03.592 --> 01:00:06.893
It's trolls this, trolls that.

01:00:07.233 --> 01:00:08.815
I'm totally smashing on their culture.

01:00:09.275 --> 01:00:12.378
Anyway,

01:00:12.398 --> 01:00:13.938
there's a lot of troll mythology there.

01:00:13.978 --> 01:00:14.599
It's a big thing.

01:00:14.659 --> 01:00:17.322
Trolls, bridges, it's all a thing.

01:00:17.762 --> 01:00:19.202
and the whole deal with this is that

01:00:19.302 --> 01:00:21.445
anytime you see big statues things like

01:00:21.465 --> 01:00:23.565
this is that that's when a troll attempted

01:00:23.606 --> 01:00:26.728
to to uh cross the uh water but

01:00:26.768 --> 01:00:28.228
then got hit by stone and it was

01:00:28.248 --> 01:00:30.610
frozen in place there so those are

01:00:30.650 --> 01:00:32.291
supposed to be three trolls i mean it

01:00:32.311 --> 01:00:33.873
looks like it it it looks like it

01:00:33.932 --> 01:00:36.494
could be yeah yeah yeah okay and that

01:00:36.514 --> 01:00:38.056
was one of the rare instances that day

01:00:38.076 --> 01:00:40.036
it was really clouded that the sun peeked

01:00:40.077 --> 01:00:41.398
through so i got a really good shot

01:00:41.418 --> 01:00:42.438
that's a great that's a gorgeous shot yeah

01:00:42.458 --> 01:00:44.239
that's a great shot

01:00:45.682 --> 01:00:49.684
And this was another waterfall.

01:00:49.864 --> 01:00:51.045
Fiance is going to kill me for not

01:00:51.105 --> 01:00:53.405
remembering which one it is,

01:00:53.425 --> 01:00:59.268
but it was absolutely gorgeous.

01:00:59.289 --> 01:01:01.090
They told us a story that at some

01:01:01.130 --> 01:01:04.311
point there was a company that was trying

01:01:04.331 --> 01:01:05.211
to put a, a,

01:01:06.701 --> 01:01:08.541
like a hydroelectric dam here.

01:01:08.561 --> 01:01:10.043
And, and actually,

01:01:10.083 --> 01:01:11.503
cause it has a really good headflow on

01:01:11.563 --> 01:01:11.664
it.

01:01:12.784 --> 01:01:14.525
And apparently there was a woman who was,

01:01:14.965 --> 01:01:16.626
she was some sort of like a spiritual

01:01:16.706 --> 01:01:19.208
activist that threatened to throw herself

01:01:19.387 --> 01:01:22.068
from this waterfall if they did it.

01:01:22.670 --> 01:01:24.490
And somehow that electrified the nation.

01:01:25.431 --> 01:01:26.052
They were like, oh, man,

01:01:26.072 --> 01:01:26.992
this must be serious stuff.

01:01:27.012 --> 01:01:28.054
And then they got a lot of attention

01:01:28.074 --> 01:01:29.815
to it and they stopped this company from

01:01:29.855 --> 01:01:33.217
doing it so that they're they are very

01:01:33.798 --> 01:01:37.202
pro environment in Iceland because they

01:01:37.222 --> 01:01:39.244
have natural geothermal energy everywhere.

01:01:39.264 --> 01:01:39.623
I mean,

01:01:39.884 --> 01:01:41.565
it's basically on top of a volcano.

01:01:42.346 --> 01:01:44.025
as it is there's like tons of active

01:01:44.045 --> 01:01:46.407
volcanoes they have this place in iceland

01:01:46.447 --> 01:01:49.588
that's that's between veek and um rejavik

01:01:49.947 --> 01:01:52.068
that is called the golden circle that's

01:01:52.228 --> 01:01:54.309
it's where most of the big features in

01:01:54.409 --> 01:01:55.628
iceland are and that's where we

01:01:55.708 --> 01:01:57.909
concentrated our visit was in the golden

01:01:57.949 --> 01:02:00.670
circle um so you could basically go to

01:02:00.829 --> 01:02:02.451
iceland and granted an icelander would

01:02:02.471 --> 01:02:04.451
probably tell you otherwise but you could

01:02:04.471 --> 01:02:06.371
go to iceland and you could just visit

01:02:06.391 --> 01:02:07.871
the golden circle and see most of

01:02:07.992 --> 01:02:08.831
everything that you should

01:02:10.032 --> 01:02:11.873
a good representation of the entire island

01:02:12.193 --> 01:02:13.014
from that area.

01:02:13.034 --> 01:02:17.657
Okay.

01:02:17.818 --> 01:02:19.438
And a little bit of trivia for you

01:02:19.458 --> 01:02:19.878
guys.

01:02:21.360 --> 01:02:22.021
Geysers.

01:02:23.141 --> 01:02:25.143
The word geyser is Icelandic.

01:02:25.163 --> 01:02:25.402
Okay.

01:02:27.115 --> 01:02:28.416
So anytime you got like, you know,

01:02:28.597 --> 01:02:29.557
obviously Old Faithful,

01:02:29.597 --> 01:02:30.858
we know of Old Faithful in Yellowstone,

01:02:30.898 --> 01:02:31.400
it's a geyser.

01:02:31.420 --> 01:02:32.460
Right.

01:02:32.481 --> 01:02:33.782
That term is Icelandic.

01:02:33.802 --> 01:02:34.682
That's this, this,

01:02:34.862 --> 01:02:36.824
this area right here where this geyser is,

01:02:37.224 --> 01:02:38.385
is literally called geyser.

01:02:38.405 --> 01:02:40.327
Okay.

01:02:40.347 --> 01:02:40.467
Yeah.

01:02:40.487 --> 01:02:41.989
It's just like, it's just geyser.

01:02:42.809 --> 01:02:43.690
So that, you know,

01:02:43.730 --> 01:02:46.413
the world decided to adopt that for that

01:02:46.492 --> 01:02:48.554
sort of formation, that sort of thing.

01:02:48.875 --> 01:02:50.635
And everyone else calls it geysers now.

01:02:50.677 --> 01:02:50.797
So.

01:02:51.396 --> 01:02:51.757
Okay.

01:02:52.056 --> 01:02:52.777
Very cool.

01:02:52.876 --> 01:02:53.898
Yeah.

01:02:54.117 --> 01:02:54.237
And.

01:02:54.838 --> 01:02:55.277
Tomato soup.

01:02:55.898 --> 01:02:56.157
Yes.

01:02:56.597 --> 01:02:57.617
Is that grilled cheese and tomato?

01:02:57.637 --> 01:02:58.217
I'm sorry.

01:02:58.297 --> 01:02:59.059
Look, look,

01:02:59.539 --> 01:03:01.179
I have to share the tomato soup.

01:03:01.199 --> 01:03:02.918
We have this really cool place.

01:03:02.938 --> 01:03:03.719
I'm going to have to go forward a

01:03:03.739 --> 01:03:04.019
little bit.

01:03:04.059 --> 01:03:09.460
It's called, uh, Fred, um, that, uh,

01:03:10.501 --> 01:03:12.260
you can only get these tomatoes,

01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:13.942
these cherry tomatoes in Iceland.

01:03:14.681 --> 01:03:15.641
They only sell them there.

01:03:15.742 --> 01:03:16.621
They don't ship them out.

01:03:17.322 --> 01:03:18.722
It is the best cherry tomatoes I've ever

01:03:18.742 --> 01:03:19.262
had in my life.

01:03:19.302 --> 01:03:19.922
And this, this,

01:03:21.021 --> 01:03:22.382
This tomato soup was made of it.

01:03:22.782 --> 01:03:24.083
It is the best tomato soup I've ever

01:03:24.123 --> 01:03:24.324
had.

01:03:24.483 --> 01:03:25.065
I believe it.

01:03:25.744 --> 01:03:26.626
It was incredible.

01:03:26.925 --> 01:03:29.128
They had this whole facility.

01:03:30.048 --> 01:03:32.791
Everything was fed with geyser water,

01:03:32.831 --> 01:03:36.034
which doesn't actually have minerals in

01:03:36.054 --> 01:03:36.155
it.

01:03:36.175 --> 01:03:37.835
So they had to put minerals into it.

01:03:38.137 --> 01:03:40.097
So they have tight control over exactly

01:03:40.478 --> 01:03:41.420
what goes into the water.

01:03:43.681 --> 01:03:44.342
That was amazing.

01:03:45.284 --> 01:03:46.485
I could have ate that bread all day.

01:03:46.585 --> 01:03:47.385
That bread was insane.

01:03:47.405 --> 01:03:48.788
Let me tell you something.

01:03:49.789 --> 01:03:52.552
After having gone to Europe several times

01:03:52.592 --> 01:03:54.393
now, tried bread in different places,

01:03:54.755 --> 01:03:56.255
we don't know how to make bread here.

01:03:56.597 --> 01:03:57.617
No, we don't.

01:03:57.818 --> 01:03:59.760
We really don't.

01:03:59.840 --> 01:04:00.240
I'm sorry.

01:04:00.260 --> 01:04:00.641
If you guys,

01:04:01.202 --> 01:04:02.362
if you're listening to this right now or

01:04:02.382 --> 01:04:02.922
watching us,

01:04:03.751 --> 01:04:04.773
If you ever get a chance to go

01:04:04.813 --> 01:04:05.514
to Europe,

01:04:05.653 --> 01:04:07.614
make a point to get some good like

01:04:07.695 --> 01:04:09.137
German bread, European bread.

01:04:09.177 --> 01:04:10.577
I'm not talking about German bread that

01:04:10.597 --> 01:04:11.458
you can get at Publix.

01:04:11.918 --> 01:04:13.360
Some that you get in Europe.

01:04:13.920 --> 01:04:14.842
Or Aldi.

01:04:15.402 --> 01:04:16.143
Or Aldi, right.

01:04:17.523 --> 01:04:18.525
It's a good substitute,

01:04:18.545 --> 01:04:20.867
but it's also still with the standards and

01:04:20.907 --> 01:04:21.927
rules in the United States.

01:04:21.947 --> 01:04:23.429
And I'm not saying that they are lax

01:04:23.509 --> 01:04:24.789
on rules in Europe,

01:04:25.170 --> 01:04:26.371
but the bread is just better.

01:04:26.731 --> 01:04:27.952
And we just don't know how to make

01:04:27.992 --> 01:04:28.313
bread here.

01:04:28.672 --> 01:04:29.494
We really don't.

01:04:29.514 --> 01:04:29.594
Yeah.

01:04:29.614 --> 01:04:29.773
Yeah.

01:04:31.954 --> 01:04:33.476
Um, no, that looks great.

01:04:33.677 --> 01:04:34.637
And, uh, Oh,

01:04:35.579 --> 01:04:36.659
you guys know me near and dear to

01:04:36.699 --> 01:04:36.920
me.

01:04:38.282 --> 01:04:39.222
Um,

01:04:39.342 --> 01:04:42.766
Iceland has superchargers of all of them.

01:04:42.786 --> 01:04:42.985
Granted,

01:04:43.005 --> 01:04:44.387
they don't use the North American charging

01:04:44.407 --> 01:04:45.349
standard like we do here,

01:04:45.768 --> 01:04:46.550
but they have super,

01:04:46.690 --> 01:04:47.731
they have chargers everywhere.

01:04:47.811 --> 01:04:49.072
Everywhere we stopped at chargers.

01:04:49.512 --> 01:04:52.235
There were more EVs on the road there

01:04:52.255 --> 01:04:52.916
than I see here.

01:04:52.956 --> 01:04:53.016
Hmm.

01:04:53.856 --> 01:04:57.038
wow like the the ratio was insane like

01:04:57.057 --> 01:04:59.018
they had so many evs there they still

01:04:59.039 --> 01:05:00.820
had regular cars you know like ice cars

01:05:00.860 --> 01:05:03.860
but um more often i saw tons of

01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:06.503
people using these it's crazy and it's and

01:05:06.563 --> 01:05:07.902
it actually really wasn't that expensive

01:05:08.322 --> 01:05:10.224
electricity in in iceland is not that

01:05:10.264 --> 01:05:12.545
expensive because it's it's so easy to

01:05:12.585 --> 01:05:14.786
generate because they have an abundance of

01:05:14.826 --> 01:05:17.286
the ability to generate yeah the resources

01:05:17.367 --> 01:05:18.847
yeah they're allotted yeah

01:05:20.208 --> 01:05:22.391
Um, and, um, you probably,

01:05:22.411 --> 01:05:23.751
you guys have probably seen this Lutheran

01:05:23.791 --> 01:05:24.512
church before.

01:05:24.873 --> 01:05:27.755
Um, this is in Rejavik and it's, uh,

01:05:27.835 --> 01:05:28.695
I forget the name of it.

01:05:28.795 --> 01:05:29.856
I will totally butcher the name.

01:05:29.876 --> 01:05:30.998
So I'm not even going to try.

01:05:31.739 --> 01:05:34.942
Um, it's a beautiful, uh, stately church.

01:05:35.302 --> 01:05:35.983
Um,

01:05:36.043 --> 01:05:39.224
I even made a point to take good

01:05:39.244 --> 01:05:41.367
pictures of the organ and then I posted

01:05:41.407 --> 01:05:43.849
it to our friend Gary Jones to let

01:05:43.889 --> 01:05:44.250
him know.

01:05:44.269 --> 01:05:44.349
Yeah.

01:05:45.170 --> 01:05:45.411
Um,

01:05:45.550 --> 01:05:46.632
and I showed it to him and he

01:05:46.672 --> 01:05:47.391
liked it as well.

01:05:47.592 --> 01:05:47.833
So yeah.

01:05:48.592 --> 01:05:51.014
Um, but one, one really cool picture,

01:05:51.054 --> 01:05:52.853
probably my favorite picture from the

01:05:52.893 --> 01:05:54.434
entire trip was this one here.

01:05:54.873 --> 01:05:57.175
They have a nice rainbow road that runs

01:05:57.715 --> 01:05:57.875
up.

01:05:57.954 --> 01:05:59.255
And then if you see at the very

01:05:59.315 --> 01:06:01.635
end of it, that church is the thing.

01:06:03.076 --> 01:06:04.476
And that was gorgeous.

01:06:04.635 --> 01:06:05.076
Yes.

01:06:05.416 --> 01:06:07.556
That was an absolute gorgeous shot.

01:06:08.297 --> 01:06:11.818
Um, I, I, I will summarize by saying,

01:06:11.838 --> 01:06:11.878
um,

01:06:13.003 --> 01:06:14.545
Um, Iceland is one of those.

01:06:14.565 --> 01:06:15.525
It's just same as Alabama.

01:06:15.605 --> 01:06:17.646
It's got extremes in the wintertime.

01:06:17.686 --> 01:06:18.186
It can be really,

01:06:18.346 --> 01:06:19.306
it can be cold ish.

01:06:19.985 --> 01:06:20.126
Um,

01:06:20.385 --> 01:06:21.927
and in the summertime it can be like,

01:06:21.967 --> 01:06:22.726
you know, you know,

01:06:22.806 --> 01:06:23.907
everything's sticking to you hot.

01:06:24.668 --> 01:06:26.929
It's just, it's similar there that they,

01:06:26.949 --> 01:06:28.588
they have a lot of temperature extremes in

01:06:28.608 --> 01:06:28.989
the summer.

01:06:29.028 --> 01:06:29.349
It gets,

01:06:29.489 --> 01:06:30.929
it gets not never as warm as it

01:06:30.949 --> 01:06:32.550
does here, but it'll,

01:06:32.630 --> 01:06:33.570
it'll get warm as well.

01:06:33.610 --> 01:06:35.791
So I really look forward to potentially

01:06:35.811 --> 01:06:37.192
going back in the summer one day.

01:06:38.733 --> 01:06:39.875
or you know doing another trip in the

01:06:39.914 --> 01:06:41.456
summer just to see what the difference is

01:06:42.056 --> 01:06:44.940
but i am in no way whatsoever disappointed

01:06:44.981 --> 01:06:47.043
with this trip it was very fun i

01:06:47.262 --> 01:06:50.527
highly recommend especially if you want to

01:06:50.586 --> 01:06:52.489
go and see the northern lights it's one

01:06:52.509 --> 01:06:54.811
of the best places in the world to

01:06:54.851 --> 01:06:56.673
see it um it's

01:06:57.653 --> 01:07:00.396
either that or like Norway or Finland or

01:07:00.476 --> 01:07:03.139
one of those other Northern Nordic type

01:07:03.179 --> 01:07:03.641
countries.

01:07:03.661 --> 01:07:03.740
Yeah.

01:07:04.862 --> 01:07:06.083
It does a really good job there,

01:07:06.463 --> 01:07:09.807
but just be prepared that you usually see

01:07:09.847 --> 01:07:10.929
the best in the winter and,

01:07:11.675 --> 01:07:14.057
So dress accordingly and you are going to

01:07:14.177 --> 01:07:15.338
freeze your bonkers off.

01:07:15.398 --> 01:07:16.500
I don't care what you wear.

01:07:17.880 --> 01:07:19.262
It's going to be very cold.

01:07:20.043 --> 01:07:21.003
You cannot escape it.

01:07:21.864 --> 01:07:23.005
You're going to have to prepare.

01:07:23.465 --> 01:07:24.447
And let's just put it this way.

01:07:24.467 --> 01:07:25.507
It was so cold.

01:07:26.387 --> 01:07:28.590
My fiance was using her iPhone to take

01:07:28.630 --> 01:07:29.971
most of the pictures because iPhones do a

01:07:30.010 --> 01:07:31.833
really good job of colorizing immediately

01:07:32.552 --> 01:07:33.213
and make pop out.

01:07:33.733 --> 01:07:35.135
Her iPhone was shutting down.

01:07:35.155 --> 01:07:36.577
Yeah, it was so cold.

01:07:37.971 --> 01:07:39.612
Just to give you an idea that it

01:07:39.652 --> 01:07:40.851
was like not wanting to work.

01:07:41.452 --> 01:07:42.353
She would have to put it in her

01:07:42.393 --> 01:07:44.373
pocket to warm it up to bring it

01:07:44.393 --> 01:07:45.594
back out to do it.

01:07:45.614 --> 01:07:45.994
Wow.

01:07:46.054 --> 01:07:49.215
So I've only seen him over overheat.

01:07:49.255 --> 01:07:51.976
Yeah.

01:07:51.996 --> 01:07:53.655
I've never seen cold be a problem for

01:07:53.695 --> 01:07:53.775
him.

01:07:53.856 --> 01:07:54.817
Yeah.

01:07:54.836 --> 01:07:55.016
Yeah.

01:07:55.056 --> 01:07:55.177
Yeah.

01:07:55.496 --> 01:07:57.418
That's all I had.

01:07:57.637 --> 01:07:58.057
Yeah.

01:07:58.077 --> 01:07:59.757
I, I really enjoyed that.

01:08:00.099 --> 01:08:00.998
The trip back was,

01:08:01.139 --> 01:08:01.938
was not a big deal.

01:08:02.878 --> 01:08:03.960
We did on the way back.

01:08:04.655 --> 01:08:07.117
We did stay in JFK.

01:08:07.137 --> 01:08:09.818
They had an old, in Terminal Five,

01:08:09.838 --> 01:08:11.820
they had an old hotel called the TWA

01:08:11.860 --> 01:08:12.239
Hotel.

01:08:12.681 --> 01:08:13.740
Anybody that's familiar,

01:08:13.780 --> 01:08:16.743
TWA used to be an airline that was

01:08:16.762 --> 01:08:18.163
like a large,

01:08:18.203 --> 01:08:20.125
almost a monopolistic conglomerate

01:08:20.645 --> 01:08:21.104
airline.

01:08:22.586 --> 01:08:26.167
And this TWA Hotel basically sat abandoned

01:08:26.488 --> 01:08:27.168
for decades.

01:08:27.509 --> 01:08:28.869
And they finally – they worked on

01:08:28.930 --> 01:08:29.590
reopening it.

01:08:29.630 --> 01:08:33.132
And it's very Jetson-style, mid-century,

01:08:33.212 --> 01:08:34.493
modern, futuristic.

01:08:36.154 --> 01:08:37.836
It's definitely a boutique-type hotel

01:08:37.855 --> 01:08:39.436
where you go for the experience and not

01:08:39.457 --> 01:08:39.856
the rooms.

01:08:40.117 --> 01:08:41.337
The rooms weren't great.

01:08:42.418 --> 01:08:44.140
And we went during a time where they

01:08:44.180 --> 01:08:46.341
were setting up for a Robin Hood event,

01:08:46.421 --> 01:08:48.662
like the investment thing.

01:08:48.682 --> 01:08:49.823
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:08:50.463 --> 01:08:50.604
Yeah.

01:08:50.623 --> 01:08:52.104
And so they were setting up for that.

01:08:52.324 --> 01:08:53.725
And it was –

01:08:54.685 --> 01:08:56.246
it was still an interesting experience.

01:08:56.265 --> 01:08:58.448
I mean, and I, and of course being,

01:08:58.528 --> 01:08:59.128
being me, I,

01:08:59.269 --> 01:09:01.871
I got everything that wasn't nailed down

01:09:03.391 --> 01:09:05.012
as a TWA hotel stuff there.

01:09:05.472 --> 01:09:06.935
And I got pencils and all kinds of

01:09:07.114 --> 01:09:08.975
neat things that they really don't care

01:09:09.076 --> 01:09:09.657
one way or the other.

01:09:09.676 --> 01:09:10.136
If you take,

01:09:10.596 --> 01:09:12.158
they had a really nice TWA,

01:09:12.219 --> 01:09:13.739
had a really nice store there.

01:09:15.220 --> 01:09:15.962
So I, I,

01:09:15.981 --> 01:09:17.983
this year I'm proud to say that my

01:09:18.023 --> 01:09:21.485
Christmas tree will have TWA ornaments on

01:09:21.525 --> 01:09:21.605
it.

01:09:24.396 --> 01:09:26.179
and some really cool mid-century modern

01:09:26.198 --> 01:09:27.801
you know like the long ones that have

01:09:27.820 --> 01:09:30.864
like the indenture indented part in it

01:09:31.484 --> 01:09:33.927
yeah I really had to grab those and

01:09:33.948 --> 01:09:35.470
they really weren't that expensive so yeah

01:09:37.872 --> 01:09:38.594
That was cool.

01:09:38.634 --> 01:09:40.034
Plus it was, I mean,

01:09:40.055 --> 01:09:42.197
the hotel was right at the terminal five.

01:09:42.237 --> 01:09:43.497
So we literally had to go to terminal

01:09:43.618 --> 01:09:43.819
eight.

01:09:43.838 --> 01:09:45.780
And we, and we took,

01:09:46.060 --> 01:09:47.702
we went a little more roundabout than Bo

01:09:47.721 --> 01:09:47.801
did.

01:09:47.842 --> 01:09:48.603
Bo did a direct.

01:09:48.643 --> 01:09:51.326
We went from JFK to Charlotte and then

01:09:51.386 --> 01:09:53.427
Charlotte to, to Birmingham.

01:09:54.488 --> 01:09:56.130
The fiance insists on using American.

01:09:56.210 --> 01:09:57.492
I'm kind of more of a Delta guy

01:09:57.511 --> 01:09:59.434
and I'm hoping she'll come around at some

01:09:59.493 --> 01:10:01.996
point, but you know, so yeah.

01:10:03.632 --> 01:10:04.493
It was a very fun trip.

01:10:04.974 --> 01:10:05.875
I really look forward to it.

01:10:05.895 --> 01:10:06.574
Like I said,

01:10:06.614 --> 01:10:09.257
I do want to go back when it's

01:10:09.278 --> 01:10:09.698
summertime.

01:10:12.024 --> 01:10:12.704
Well, that's awesome.

01:10:12.826 --> 01:10:14.426
I really appreciate both the guys sharing

01:10:14.447 --> 01:10:14.867
your, uh,

01:10:14.926 --> 01:10:16.627
your travel stories with us this time.

01:10:16.648 --> 01:10:18.729
That was a rare that both of y'all

01:10:18.748 --> 01:10:22.350
were gone at the same time to first

01:10:22.390 --> 01:10:23.231
time places.

01:10:23.271 --> 01:10:25.592
So I just wanted to hear all about

01:10:25.632 --> 01:10:25.693
it.

01:10:25.752 --> 01:10:26.673
I'm excited for y'all.

01:10:27.154 --> 01:10:28.074
Appreciate y'all sharing.

01:10:28.414 --> 01:10:29.595
Yeah.

01:10:29.636 --> 01:10:30.055
Me and the wife,

01:10:30.076 --> 01:10:31.516
we enjoy a trip taking the trip.

01:10:31.537 --> 01:10:32.677
We're like, we need to travel more.

01:10:32.717 --> 01:10:33.998
Like we, we, you know,

01:10:34.019 --> 01:10:35.158
we'll go to the certain places,

01:10:35.198 --> 01:10:35.699
but I told her, I was like,

01:10:35.720 --> 01:10:36.119
we need to,

01:10:36.180 --> 01:10:38.782
we need to go places we haven't been.

01:10:39.122 --> 01:10:39.341
Yeah.

01:10:42.465 --> 01:10:44.286
I kind of want to bring a travel

01:10:44.326 --> 01:10:47.868
story to the podcast before we end today.

01:10:47.908 --> 01:10:50.110
We're talking about Kevin's travels and

01:10:50.230 --> 01:10:51.271
Bo's travels.

01:10:51.332 --> 01:10:53.734
Well, there's a lot of things from Bama,

01:10:54.135 --> 01:10:54.994
from the Alabama,

01:10:56.577 --> 01:10:58.257
state of Alabama that travels.

01:10:58.478 --> 01:11:00.640
And I don't know if y'all have seen

01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:03.282
the story about the trash bin that washed

01:11:03.362 --> 01:11:04.122
up in England.

01:11:04.162 --> 01:11:05.765
Yes.

01:11:05.784 --> 01:11:06.024
So...

01:11:08.614 --> 01:11:09.175
There you go.

01:11:10.055 --> 01:11:12.037
So a Baldwin County,

01:11:12.176 --> 01:11:14.918
Alabama trash can was found on Weymouth

01:11:14.979 --> 01:11:16.659
Beach in England in January,

01:11:16.699 --> 01:11:17.760
twenty twenty six.

01:11:18.400 --> 01:11:20.881
After traveling approximately four

01:11:20.921 --> 01:11:23.104
thousand miles across the Atlantic Ocean,

01:11:23.823 --> 01:11:26.506
the bin likely lost during Hurricane Sally

01:11:26.546 --> 01:11:28.987
in twenty twenty two was identified by its

01:11:29.067 --> 01:11:31.769
Baldwin County Waste Management Serial

01:11:31.809 --> 01:11:32.069
Number.

01:11:33.750 --> 01:11:35.872
It was found by a photographer by the

01:11:35.912 --> 01:11:37.472
name of Ryan Stalker.

01:11:38.372 --> 01:11:41.015
They traced it to Fort Morgan based on

01:11:41.055 --> 01:11:42.975
the partial serial number.

01:11:43.615 --> 01:11:44.096
And again,

01:11:44.417 --> 01:11:46.198
the belief is that it swept away during

01:11:46.238 --> 01:11:47.259
Hurricane Sally.

01:11:47.819 --> 01:11:50.119
And the container was covered in goose

01:11:50.260 --> 01:11:50.900
barnacles.

01:11:52.261 --> 01:11:53.783
And you know somebody had to pay to

01:11:53.823 --> 01:11:54.923
replace that container.

01:11:55.203 --> 01:11:59.546
Hey, hey, there's my trash can.

01:11:59.567 --> 01:12:00.247
It's proof.

01:12:00.306 --> 01:12:02.969
Now give me my money back.

01:12:03.969 --> 01:12:05.050
It was an act of God.

01:12:05.130 --> 01:12:06.150
I couldn't help it.

01:12:08.152 --> 01:12:09.592
So I just kind of thought that would

01:12:09.632 --> 01:12:12.333
be a funny Alabama tie-in,

01:12:12.574 --> 01:12:14.576
international travel tie-in to the

01:12:14.615 --> 01:12:15.195
podcast.

01:12:15.336 --> 01:12:16.617
That's impressive to think about.

01:12:16.716 --> 01:12:17.957
It could have been at the bottom of

01:12:17.978 --> 01:12:18.337
the ocean,

01:12:18.358 --> 01:12:20.979
but somehow it made it to England.

01:12:23.021 --> 01:12:24.944
Speaking of that and shipwrecks and stuff,

01:12:25.645 --> 01:12:27.246
back in the late nineties, it was like,

01:12:27.265 --> 01:12:29.467
I think it was around ninety seven.

01:12:30.088 --> 01:12:32.811
There was a container ship that was

01:12:32.851 --> 01:12:35.515
shipping Legos across the Atlantic,

01:12:35.534 --> 01:12:36.676
which you could, you know,

01:12:38.237 --> 01:12:39.578
Legos come from Europe anyway.

01:12:39.899 --> 01:12:40.920
So, you know,

01:12:40.979 --> 01:12:42.362
it was it was shipping them over.

01:12:42.742 --> 01:12:44.323
And turns out.

01:12:45.304 --> 01:12:46.805
One of they had really a really bad

01:12:46.845 --> 01:12:48.206
storm and one of the containers that

01:12:48.246 --> 01:12:51.226
contained Legos went overboard and then it

01:12:51.247 --> 01:12:53.167
broke open to this day.

01:12:54.149 --> 01:12:57.970
There is a Facebook groups and big groups

01:12:57.990 --> 01:12:59.771
that have been tracking these things.

01:13:02.594 --> 01:13:04.515
and track and recovery of the items that

01:13:04.595 --> 01:13:05.435
wash up on shore.

01:13:05.957 --> 01:13:06.917
You'll see like little,

01:13:08.118 --> 01:13:09.298
they say one of the most popular things

01:13:09.319 --> 01:13:11.039
to wash up are the little pirate swords.

01:13:12.220 --> 01:13:13.520
They'll just wash up and it'll just be

01:13:13.541 --> 01:13:15.922
just random Lego bits because apparently

01:13:15.943 --> 01:13:17.783
they break out of the plastic containers

01:13:17.823 --> 01:13:20.104
and the paper containers and then they

01:13:20.125 --> 01:13:22.247
just float along because they're plastic.

01:13:22.926 --> 01:13:24.689
Same as that container.

01:13:25.128 --> 01:13:26.650
Well, like the Garfield phones.

01:13:26.671 --> 01:13:28.112
You've heard the story about the Garfield

01:13:28.152 --> 01:13:28.813
phones, right?

01:13:30.554 --> 01:13:32.695
Oh, you haven't heard that story?

01:13:32.735 --> 01:13:36.899
There's been Garfield phones washing up on

01:13:36.960 --> 01:13:37.661
French beaches.

01:13:38.041 --> 01:13:40.403
that were apparently the same situation

01:13:41.024 --> 01:13:43.666
yeah y'all need to check what is it

01:13:43.706 --> 01:13:49.270
with this orange cat um it's it says

01:13:49.591 --> 01:13:51.832
uh yeah it's like much of the same

01:13:51.872 --> 01:13:54.454
situation these were lost at sea or fell

01:13:54.494 --> 01:13:55.975
overboard or whatever and they've just

01:13:55.996 --> 01:13:58.158
been washing up on the on this beach

01:13:58.198 --> 01:14:00.139
in france just garfield phones so yeah i

01:14:00.158 --> 01:14:03.042
had one as a kid

01:14:05.061 --> 01:14:06.103
I wanted one.

01:14:06.162 --> 01:14:06.802
I never, I never had one.

01:14:06.823 --> 01:14:07.783
My fiance collects them.

01:14:07.943 --> 01:14:09.122
So I'm getting, I'm getting,

01:14:09.323 --> 01:14:10.764
I'm getting them whether I want them or

01:14:10.804 --> 01:14:11.003
not.

01:14:11.024 --> 01:14:12.144
You either had that,

01:14:12.243 --> 01:14:13.265
you either had the Garfield phone or the

01:14:13.305 --> 01:14:15.984
Mickey phone or the sports illustrated

01:14:16.024 --> 01:14:16.824
football phone.

01:14:20.525 --> 01:14:20.805
Oh yeah.

01:14:20.826 --> 01:14:22.827
They make adapters now that you can plug

01:14:22.886 --> 01:14:24.726
into old phones that make it work with

01:14:24.747 --> 01:14:25.408
your cell phone.

01:14:25.427 --> 01:14:27.167
Like you can actually like pick up the

01:14:27.188 --> 01:14:29.368
phone and use it, you know,

01:14:29.389 --> 01:14:30.529
like no one has landlines anymore.

01:14:30.569 --> 01:14:30.809
Right.

01:14:30.828 --> 01:14:30.929
So.

01:14:31.493 --> 01:14:32.574
We need to do that because we've got

01:14:32.595 --> 01:14:34.155
a couple of old Mickey phones in the

01:14:34.176 --> 01:14:34.515
house.

01:14:35.596 --> 01:14:37.137
It's just like a USB connector.

01:14:37.158 --> 01:14:40.460
It cuts into the... I think it's like...

01:14:40.579 --> 01:14:41.420
You can get different kinds.

01:14:41.460 --> 01:14:42.701
I think it's a Bluetooth connector.

01:14:43.020 --> 01:14:45.042
It just Bluetooths and it basically makes

01:14:45.063 --> 01:14:46.944
it into a speaker.

01:14:47.463 --> 01:14:48.404
That's not creepy at all.

01:14:48.625 --> 01:14:50.025
No, that's not creepy at all.

01:14:51.649 --> 01:14:54.011
I'm hungry, John.

01:14:54.032 --> 01:14:56.033
A French coastal community has finally

01:14:56.073 --> 01:14:57.555
cracked the mystery behind the Garfield

01:14:57.574 --> 01:14:58.956
telephones that have played its

01:14:59.055 --> 01:15:01.318
picturesque beaches for decades.

01:15:02.338 --> 01:15:03.619
Since the nineteen eighties,

01:15:04.020 --> 01:15:09.323
the Iros Irosi coast in Brittany has

01:15:09.363 --> 01:15:11.326
received a supply of bright orange

01:15:11.386 --> 01:15:13.268
landline novelty phones shaped like the

01:15:13.307 --> 01:15:13.828
famous Irosi.

01:15:13.948 --> 01:15:18.128
cartoon cat uh anti-litter campaigners

01:15:18.149 --> 01:15:20.109
have been collecting fragments of the

01:15:20.128 --> 01:15:22.409
feline for years as they clean the beaches

01:15:23.069 --> 01:15:24.710
but now the source the problem has been

01:15:24.750 --> 01:15:27.451
found a lost shipping container yeah oh

01:15:28.570 --> 01:15:30.331
there you go so a lot of times

01:15:30.350 --> 01:15:31.770
they don't report these things they don't

01:15:31.810 --> 01:15:33.532
report what was in them they'll just be

01:15:33.572 --> 01:15:35.391
like yeah they lost a shipping container

01:15:35.431 --> 01:15:36.712
and then it just gets marked off the

01:15:36.731 --> 01:15:39.012
inventory in some warehouse and then no

01:15:39.073 --> 01:15:40.132
one says anything you know

01:15:40.729 --> 01:15:42.310
And then they start showing up on beaches.

01:15:42.590 --> 01:15:43.730
Yeah.

01:15:43.791 --> 01:15:44.351
Here they are.

01:15:44.752 --> 01:15:45.372
Yeah.

01:15:45.391 --> 01:15:46.012
The whole, you know,

01:15:46.073 --> 01:15:47.554
message in the bottle thing too.

01:15:47.854 --> 01:15:49.635
That's kind of always been fascinating.

01:15:49.654 --> 01:15:53.118
There you go.

01:15:53.137 --> 01:15:53.757
Well, all right.

01:15:54.958 --> 01:15:55.960
