Uh So, I 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:03.200 was on Vaca and as you know, um, I love 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:09.680 palms South Carolina. Um bought tons, well not tons, pounds 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:14.120 and pounds of seafood to cook and was having a 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:18.800 great week grilling fish and scallops and shrimp. Nice. Did 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.039 you so you went to like the local seafood market. 0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.240 That's like just one big long encounter of seafood and 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.960 it's super cold inside. And I love those places. There's 0:01:27.959 --> 0:01:32.440 always like a few bottles of Tony Cocheri's Creole seasoning. Oh, 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.440 and all the local stuff like here's the crab boil 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.399 in a ziplock that we make. Yes, I love those 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.679 places there. Nothing makes a beach vacation more than a 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.080 visit to the local seafood places, agreed. And I will 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.960 even shout out Simon Seafood and Mount Pleasant Seafood. They're 0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:53.280 gonna send you a box of shrimp un refrigerating. Bought 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:56.000 a box of one oysters while we were there, and 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.240 we uh, we had oyster happy Hour every night, and 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:03.240 I learned to shuck oysters like a pro nice um. 0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.160 And I made my own version of frog Moore stew 0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:09.120 one night. Can I come on vacation with you guys 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.120 next time? We we do it right, man. I bought 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:15.919 probably seven or eight pounds of shrimp, five or six 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:23.200 pounds of scallops, stone crab claws, king crab claws, flounder, snapper, salmon, 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.280 you name it. Dude, Did those guys have like a 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:29.120 lean on your house? Now? No? I did spend a 0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.480 ton of money on the stuff. The other thing that 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.040 we enjoyed was um the dips like crab shrimp dip 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:41.040 and salmon dip. Anyway, everything speeding along. It's the final 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:43.880 second to the last night. And I make my own 0:02:44.240 --> 0:02:48.280 version of frogmore stew, which is the low country boil 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:53.240 basically of Charleston. Uh, and I bite. We have these 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.240 Christini's that we baked. And you know, the one tooth 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.560 that I've been saying is going to go. They got 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:04.040 hurt in college and it's been loose for whatever twenty 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.400 plus years, and I've been afraid that my daughter's going 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:08.920 to kick it in one day, I was just like 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.799 counting down. Uh that that clock. And I've been into 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:17.919 a Christini, heard the felt the crack uh, and immediately 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.880 was like there it goes. And Emily and my friends 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:24.160 were like, no really, oh yeah, I know that. I 0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:28.400 know that crack that s It does suck if it 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.799 hurt at all. Now it never hurts. Um. That is 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:34.880 the one good thing. Like I finished my meal very 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.120 gingerly eating on the you know, I've learned how to 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:42.280 eat in the back of my mouth. Yeah, like a Neanderthal. 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.760 Use your eyes like a frog. They just go inside 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.200 your skull and push the food down, so and made 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.120 an appointment the next day. I called around. It was like, 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.040 do I go home that, Do I like tough out 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.000 the rest of the vacation here and be stressed and 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.839 go home and do it, which means I probably can't 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.640 get until Friday. Or do I ruined part of a day, 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.120 my final beach day doing this locally? Uh? And so 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.600 I decided to go in and get it done there, 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.000 and two hours out of my day was all I wasted. 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:14.360 Oh wow, that's pretty pretty good, not bad. So big 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:20.560 big shout out to apex Oral and uh Maxila, Maxima 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:25.920 Facial Surgery and Janitorial Services of Mount Pleasant and Dr 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:31.680 Charlotte's marvel She was great? Was she marvelous? She was? 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.640 And you know, when I get it done here, I 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:37.560 go under twilight sleep, which I don't feel a thing, 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.400 and it messes me up. The whole rest of the day. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.640 I'm just groggying in bed. And I didn't want to 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:42.960 do that. And I was like, I'd like to enjoy 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.359 the beach and go out to dinner to night. We 0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.719 had reservations this great place on our final night, you know, 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.040 the last night dinner out deal. And she said, well, 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:54.600 I can just inject you and if you're okay with needles, 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.920 and you know, I've long talked about the needle and 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.880 the gums is the worst thing. And she said, well, 0:04:59.880 --> 0:05:02.039 this will also be needle in the roof of your mouth, 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:06.320 and uh, I was like, all right, I gotta do it. 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.840 And she stuck me in the roof of my mouth 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:12.599 and my eyes just started running water and I literally said, 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:19.599 I'm not crying, that's just a reaction. Uh. Yeah, it 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.440 was fine. I mean it numbed it up so much. 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:22.919 I didn't feel a thing. And it was kind of 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.560 interesting being awake for once during this procedure of abstraction 0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:36.000 and bone what do you call it? Yeah, because now 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:38.919 I've learned when they when they take out a tooth, 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:44.039 Now the best practices are you immediately graph bone to 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:47.520 it because you lose it so quickly. Pocket protection is 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.440 what it's called. That's awesome. That is so nerdy awesome. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.640 I love it. But man, it is a rough procedure. 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.560 They are so rough And now I know why they 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.560 knock you out because they don't want you to know 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.440 how rough they are with you. Yeah, felt like I 0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.880 was getting assaulted. Yeah. Yeah, they don't play Dennis don't play, 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.200 And that's not the knock Dr Marvel. She did great. 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.160 I mean you gotta get in there and do it, 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.279 you know. So Anyway, I was literally on the beach 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:14.880 two hours later with a Gin and Tonic. That's great. 0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.800 That is really great, good story story, had it all. Yeah, 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:23.359 I had food surgery. Yeah, the beach, Dennis with a 0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:27.040 great name, the beach, Yeah, the whole thing. Uh. And 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.479 also this also means for people coming to see us 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.400 on tour for the remainder of the year. I'm not 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.880 even bothering with a insert tooth, thank goodness, because I 0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:37.400 had to sit there with it right next to me 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:40.880 staring at me during each show. Nah. I'm used to 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.240 it by now. I'm just gonna bubba it up for 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.720 the next nine months or whatever. They're gonna love it. 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:51.039 We should start charging double for tickets thing. Um, So 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.960 thank you for indulging that story. Well. It leads to 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:56.720 a burning question that I've been trying to ask this 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:04.640 whole time. Were you knew on the beach at any point? No, no, 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.040 nude beach at Isle of Palm Huh No, I thought 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:13.800 about during uh a nighttime ocean swim doing it. Uh. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.680 Poto grante. Is that how they say that? Yes, But 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.120 then I thought, you know what, I'm being sort of 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.720 brave swimming in the ocean at night anyway. Yeah, I'm 0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:26.480 not gonna have things exposed. There's something really creepy about 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:30.280 swimming at night in the ocean, particularly agreed. But I 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.200 did it and it's great. Yeah, it's really like I 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.680 think that's part of the exhilaration is I don't know 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:40.240 what's out here. Yeah, I guess as long as you say, 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:43.000 and I don't care. I'm just gonna enjoy myself and 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.640 it would be enjoyable. Yeah, but I did keep saying, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.720 but at least I've got my pants on. My pants Well, 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:50.880 I did have pants on, ad tuxedo pants on, but 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.960 there's a lot of at tuxedo pants on, as is 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:58.200 per tradition at Isle of Palms to cover your junk 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.080 from the sea turtles. Yeah, that's what you do, that 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.000 you swim the beach and tux pants. Right, So this 0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:07.520 is that's almost the exact opposite then, of a traditional 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.720 New beach, which is what we're talking about. Have you 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:14.360 ever been to one? I have, Uh, there, No, I 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:16.440 went and visited. I just went and looked for a second. 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:20.640 Yeah no, But I wasn't like poking people with a 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.320 stick or anything like that. Like I just wanted to see, like, okay, 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.760 what is this? And I'll tell you. I'll tell you 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:31.120 what really drew me over to look? Um you mean? 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.800 And I were down in Florida and there's a there's 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.680 a nude beach. It's a clothing optional and I believe 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:44.200 unofficial nude beach at the Canaveral National Seashore there and uh, okay, yeah, 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:48.040 that's right. We'll share our stories, okay. And um, like, 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.760 we drove down at one point just just to kind 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:53.560 of see, you know, and sure enough, there was a 0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:57.760 woman walking around just wearing shorts and that was it. Um. 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:00.960 But what really got me to go check was we 0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.439 saw this girl who must have been seventeen or something 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:07.719 and she was totally closed, like fully dressed, not even 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.080 wearing like a swimsuit, She's just dressed. And she was 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.199 coming back from the beach with her hand over her 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.960 mouth and her eyes like the size of bread plates. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:20.800 And her mom was sitting there laughing at her, waiting 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.160 at the car, watching her come back like this. And 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:24.800 I was like, I gotta go to seat. So I 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:26.600 went and looked, and I was like, yeah, there's a 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:31.240 couple of naked people. Um, they're all dudes, and uh, well, 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.080 I've seen the nude beach now. But at the same time, 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:36.040 I was like, I would love to like just go 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:39.600 nude in a nude beach. But the more I did 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.360 this research tomorrow, I was like, I could take or 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.040 leave it. I have no problem and probably would still 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.480 like to like go nude at a very secluded nude beach. 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:52.679 But I get the impression that public nude beaches and 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.920 I don't even think I would enjoy like a nudist 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:56.800 resort nude beach. It would have to just be like 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.120 a remote, deserted island. Not because of any shame or 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:03.480 anything like that, but because I just I think that 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.000 that would be the way that I most enjoyed the 0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:10.040 experience of just being nude out there on the beach. 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:11.720 You know what I mean, nude on the beach with 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:15.560 just like you and your wife, right, and that's it, Yeah, 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:18.000 you know, just hanging out. You want to own your 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.520 own beach. I guess I think that's what I'm getting at. 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.280 I'm hoping a wealthy listener will send US one. Uh 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.160 so here's my experience with that very beach. Was that 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:32.960 play Linda or Klondike? All right, So my deal was 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.040 many years ago. I did a long, like three month 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:40.200 out west trip with my best friend Brett, and we 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.920 we started in Atlanta and said, all right, what's where 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.240 should we go first? And this is pre internet and 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.920 you know when you're doing book research. And I said, 0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:54.000 there's this place in Florida, your Canaveral that's called Klondike Beach. 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.800 And I said, and I don't know if this is true, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.200 but what I read is that there is a law 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:04.800 enforcement acuum there because no one if there's some overlap 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.959 with counties, national land where there's a space where there's 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:12.160 no law. Yeah, there's supposedly a place. And I think 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.480 Yosemite National Park that's like that too. Well, yeah, I've 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.560 heard that stupid story where you can like kill somebody 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.640 and getting I don't think that true. Well, I don't know. 0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.720 I don't think this is they would remember reading the 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:28.160 article and there they would get just you know, somehow. Um, 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.160 but I think there wasn't like I think it wasn't 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.800 no law, but there wasn't technically there was no legal 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:39.199 overseer of this one area, and that was Klondike Beach, 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:42.600 and there were you could there were hippie smoking weed 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.840 and nudis, and I was like, that's where we should start. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:49.240 I have no idea what drew me, because you know, 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:50.880 it wasn't like I was going for either one of 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:53.839 those things. There's that sounds a bit like a place 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.520 called Wreck Beach in Vancouver, where it's not like there's 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:02.560 no jurisdiction or questionable jurisdiction, it's just really hard to 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.840 get to. There's like four hundred steps down to the beach. 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.600 So apparently the cops a long time ago said whatever, 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.520 you guys can do whatever you want, we don't care. 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:13.480 So not only is it a nude beach, it's like 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:18.120 a drug adult um, drunken beach um. But apparently it's 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.840 a lot of fun. But I supposedly they started cracking 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.120 down on it recently and it's not as fun as 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:25.560 it once was. Well, I do remember. Actually what drew 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.360 me was you can you can camp on the beach there, 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:32.120 which is sort of rare too. It wasn't a campground. 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.120 There's like back country camping on the sand, uh, and 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.280 there's not a ton of places in the States where 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:40.040 you can do that. Yeah, that sounds kind of fun. Actually, 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:42.120 it was waking up to the sound of waves like that. 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:44.640 It's wonderful. Uh. And we did go down there and 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:46.439 we did camp and it was a great way to 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.240 start the trip, and we did There's this dude walked 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:51.600 up to us this and of course I think this 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.120 is usually the story this. You know, probably fifty something 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.120 year old man but naked, walks up to us and 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:02.240 just starts a conversation. Oh huh. So I got a 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:08.440 lot of like differing advice from doing research on this. Yeah, well, 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:12.359 how so the guy started a conversation with you, Um, 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.640 what did you do? Did you go, hey, Bob, good 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.920 to meet you. A nice penis like that Saturday Night 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.520 Live sketch. No, I think we just tried to treat 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.920 it like a normal conversation, which it was. The I 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.240 guess what I've been hearing differing things on is that 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:30.440 at nude beaches you will possibly be surprised by the 0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:37.079 standoffishness of the nude bathers. Um, you might be expecting 0:13:37.120 --> 0:13:40.640 free spirits like Bob, the guy you met, right, Yeah, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.920 I think the deal is and we will be corrected 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.240 through listener mail. But I think if you are clothed, 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:50.040 they may be a little more standoffish. But from what 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.679 I understand, if you're not clothed, that's that's all kind 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.360 of part of the community, and we should do a 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.320 larger one on nudists. At some point I could not 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:01.000 agree more. I I had an idea, but I had 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:09.160 no idea how um lengthy and longstanding the the nu 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:14.400 nudism movement is, or the naturism movement, I should say, yeah, naturalists, Like, 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.840 from what I understand, there very much a community, and uh, 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.000 that's the whole point is to normalize it to where 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.200 it's just like talking on the beach with anybody, right, Like, 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.960 it's not like any different than being clothed. And that's 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.080 their whole bag is Hey, this is just this is 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:35.200 how we come into the world, and we have all 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.000 shamed each other with our bodies over the years to 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.960 where we have clothed ourselves. And of course, I you know, 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:44.119 me growing up, Southern Baptists have a very weird relationship 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:49.480 with nudity, to the point where I'm like, yeah, man, 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.160 like what's the big deal. Europeans have got it right, 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.960 It's just your body who cares? And then the other 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.760 half of me says, oh my god, put some clothes on. 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.120 You know, do you want to go to Hell today? 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.080 And it's not even that it's just I guess I'm 0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:07.320 kind of shy. Yeah, but I mean I'm sure it's 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:13.080 it's ingrained shyness for sure, from from an upbringing like that. Um, 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.600 so you you definitely hit on something, right. So when 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:19.680 you're talking about the naturist movement, like if you go 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:23.200 to a naturist resort, like a specific a nude beach 0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.240 that's part of a naturist resort where you have to say, 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:31.520 be a member to get in or something like that, Um, yes, 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.480 you're going to find people who are very happy that 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.040 you're there, and they're very happy to be naked, and 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:42.520 everybody's very happy that everyone's naked, right, Um, but you're 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:47.680 also probably going to encounter something like compulsory uh, compulsory 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.400 nudity where if you're there, you have to be naked. 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.520 They don't want anybody coming along and be like, what's 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.760 this all about? What are you guys doing over here? 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:58.200 Shake your shake your money maker for me? You know, 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.560 they're not into that, so they have to have. They 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.560 have to have their own UM set aside resorts. It's 0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.840 like their own place. It's like a private area UM. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.320 But it's say like a different kind of beach, like 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.480 a clothing optional beach, where it's a public beach that 0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:19.120 allows nudity but it isn't compulsory. That's when it seems 0:16:19.160 --> 0:16:23.480 to UM. It seems to be kind of like paradise 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:29.880 lost for the naturists. Historically speaking, there definitely is yeah, 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.120 and it seems like just about every country that has 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:38.080 beaches has nude beaches, and if they are public nude 0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:42.480 beaches where clothing is optional, it seems like the naturists 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.080 who are actually there to just enjoy being naked, it 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.120 has nothing to do with sex. Their kids are running 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.720 around naked, the whole families there. It's very family oriented. 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:56.720 Naked beach UM tend to lose control of it because 0:16:56.920 --> 0:17:01.960 outside elements usually come in, start like partying, having public sex, 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.680 and then all of a sudden, this nude beach gets 0:17:04.720 --> 0:17:08.960 a terrible reputation and the government steps in. Local people 0:17:09.040 --> 0:17:11.840 complain and usually when they do, it's successful, and the 0:17:11.880 --> 0:17:15.560 government steps in and nobody can be naked anymore, and 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:18.560 it's ruined for all the naturists. Yeah, and that that 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:21.440 is not the same thing at all as topless speeches 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:25.520 that you find um in in Europe and in some 0:17:25.560 --> 0:17:27.960 places here in the United States. I went to one 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:31.520 of those two, and I mean you call it topless speech, 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.080 it was I think it was just a beach, you know. 0:17:34.440 --> 0:17:36.320 I think a lot of the beaches in europea topless. 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.560 It's not like a big thing. And we saw, you know, 0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:43.600 ladies with their uh, with their no bikini top on. 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:47.239 And of course, being a kid I was young, I 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:52.760 was like, oh, hey, you're like that wolf. But I 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.199 was respectful because I knew even then, like, you know, 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.560 you don't want to ugle somebody because that's probably not 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.920 too cool. But then even as a young guy, it 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.159 normalized and I was like, oh, well that's just a 0:18:04.200 --> 0:18:07.359 body part. It ain't a big deal. Yeah. Yeah, that 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:12.120 after you turn i don't know, nineteen or twenty, it's 0:18:12.160 --> 0:18:14.879 really easy to become desensitized to that kind of stuff, 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.720 you know. So let's take a break. Man had a 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:20.600 lot of good set up there. Yeah, that was a 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.880 lot of set up ethan penises and all kinds of moves. 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:30.080 The whole shebang. We'll be right back everybody. That's why 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:38.040 Ska that you should know, why skin should know knows 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:56.040 but Clarkin sk so Chuck, You've mentioned it a couple 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.040 of times, and it seems like anybody who even basically 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:03.439 knows about New Eaches tends to think of Europe. And 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.000 for good reason too. There was a survey in two 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:10.080 thousand and sixteen that surveyed I think like um ninety 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:12.480 different countries or something like that was a pretty extensive 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:16.000 survey to find out what the attitudes were towards nude 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:21.680 sunbathing on public beaches, and they found that Austrians, the Austrians, 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.280 I really would not have guessed the Austrians, and I'm 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:28.520 not I'm not missed speaking Australians. I mean the people 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:36.440 from Austria, I don't know. I don't know. I wish 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:39.240 I did, but I don't know. At any rate they're 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:42.120 fine with nudism. They at the very least, I'm sure 0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:46.119 they have sandy lakes. They're fine with with nude sunbathing 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:49.159 at the beach. Um Something like seventies six percent of 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:53.439 Austrians say it's quote absolutely acceptable to sunbathe in the 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:58.000 nude in public um. It used to be Germany was 0:19:58.040 --> 0:20:01.639 the was the champion of cool with nude some babe 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.440 and their Paymoent's very famous shore line but they yes, 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:08.359 and the North Sea, but they they fell the second place. 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:11.720 German say it's absolutely acceptable, and you're sure it didn't 0:20:11.720 --> 0:20:14.879 say Australians right because they're waiting. Okay, yeah, I know. 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:22.240 Well Australia has a has a um a roller coaster 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.960 relationship with nude beaches. I think it depends on who's 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.440 in charge of the culture at any given point in time. Yeah. 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:31.200 Well maybe while we're there will be in charge of 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:39.640 the culture for a short time. Nudity everywhere gets grossed out. 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.240 Our shows are about to get raucous. You never know 0:20:42.320 --> 0:20:46.439 a nude show, how about that? So no, no, absolutely not. 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.520 I mean the audience, not us. So I'm still not 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.040 comfortable with that either. Well that's how they say. To 0:20:52.320 --> 0:20:54.639 the reason I say that is because to Live Cruise 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:56.960 show they say, the picture of your audience in the nude. 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:02.720 If you're nervous, I think they say underwear. Oh okay, gotcha, 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:08.719 I remember that Brady Bunch. That's all I know. Uh oh, 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:13.240 so I don't know Australians but I do know eight 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:16.200 percent of Americans say it's absolutely acceptable to somebody in 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:18.720 the news. That seems about right, pretty low percentage, that's 0:21:18.720 --> 0:21:21.720 what i'd figure. Well, you know who had an even 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:29.399 lower percentage, UM, it's Italians. Italians say they are not 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:33.080 okay with having somebody's somebay nude by them in on 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:37.080 a public beach. It surprises me as well, but such 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.119 as the way, but they're kind of an outlier as 0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:42.520 far as Europe goes. In Europe actually again have some 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:47.520 of the earliest nude beaches around. UM. This article says 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:52.000 that like the first one was in Bordeaux in France, 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:56.919 that that um started around after World War Two. But 0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.359 I actually saw footage of a nude beach in Georgia, 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:03.840 a country not the state from dating from the nineteen twenties. 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.520 So as far as nudity goes, Georgia is even more 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:12.440 progressive than France. Apparently. I don't know about progressive. I 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:15.679 think sometimes it's just you know, freaks are gonna let 0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.760 their flag fly. No, you got it, you got it, 0:22:18.840 --> 0:22:21.160 And and if you've got a group of them together, 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.720 I don't care. If it's nineteen twenty and Georgia then 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:28.200 they find each other, they're gonna do it. I don't 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.040 think that necessarily means that Georgia was super progressive, you 0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:32.760 know what I mean? Okay, I see what you mean. 0:22:32.920 --> 0:22:34.760 Or maybe it does. I don't know, but I'm just saying. 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:36.399 And that's the case with these a lot of these 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:39.480 nude beaches. Is it bears pointing out. Some of these 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:43.360 are sanctioned and some of them are just have happened 0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:47.119 over the years to this extent where like you said, 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:49.959 the local cops are just kind of like they're not 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:54.160 hurting anybody. This is sort of where they gather and 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:57.480 everyone knows that, so they can either choose to go 0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:00.000 there or stay away from there. And these places are 0:22:59.840 --> 0:23:04.320 are usually somewhat removed too. Not all the times, but usually, 0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:07.800 Like I remember with Klondike Beach, it wasn't that it 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:09.520 wasn't like the main beach. You had to kind of 0:23:09.520 --> 0:23:12.560 work a bit to get there. Yep, it's almost always, 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:16.399 if not remote as far as just beaches in general go, 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:20.479 it is like the say, the northernmost part or the 0:23:20.520 --> 0:23:25.400 southernmost part, so it's secluded in some way, shape or form. 0:23:25.440 --> 0:23:29.159 I read this fascinating article about um a nude beach 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:35.000 off of Palm Beach called air Force Beach, and it 0:23:35.080 --> 0:23:40.679 was a private island owned by John D. MacArthur of 0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:45.400 the famous John D. And Catherine Tine MacArthur. And he yeah, 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:48.959
