We'll get to at some point 133 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: here throughout, but we're gonna begin with this and I'll 134 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: go back. I failed to mention this last week. Bad 135 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: job by me, bad job by me, and this was 136 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: one of the coolest, most unique things that I was 137 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: blown away by. When I was in the state of 138 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: North Carolina, there's a lot of history there, some of 139 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: it very dark history in the South. For example, I 140 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: was in Charleston. They have one of the tourist destinations 141 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: they have. I guess it's the I guess the Ellis 142 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: Island for slaves. It's this port where they brought the 143 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: slaves over and they kind of broke them up and 144 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: sent them on their way from this location in Charleston. 145 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: I think I'm describing it right. So that was, you know, 146 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: depressing thing about what happened at that point. But there's 147 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 1: a lot of Civil War history, but there's just all 148 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: kinds of random history from the past. For example, we 149 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: went out to have a nice walk and have a dinner, 150 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: me and my in laws, and we were walking along 151 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: this river walk right next to the Cape Fear River 152 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: in Wilmington, North Carolina. We had gelatto. We had a 153 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: nice gelato right next to the Cape Fear River. And 154 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 1: that is where Edward Teach made a name for himself 155 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: in the seventeen hundreds. In seventeen hundreds, he's working for 156 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: Britain's North American colonies in the Carolinas, and he was 157 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: a pirate. And when my brother in law told me 158 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: about this, I said, ah, that you're you know, that's bullshit. 159 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: So he kind of told me the story and I 160 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: was like, wait a minute. And so he had he 161 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: was more known for his as Looney would say, his 162 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: gangster name or his. 163 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 4: Nickname, Kirstime Looney. 164 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: All right, So this guy had a very thin beard, 165 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: a thin bill, rather, he had a beard kind of 166 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: a fearsome appearance, and he he became one of the 167 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: most legendary pirates of all time. When I was a kid, 168 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: I heard about this guy. They made movies featuring him. 169 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: Edward Teach went by his nickname Blackbeard. 170 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: I think he's the most famous pirate, right. 171 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: I can't think of any pirate more famous than black Beard. 172 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: But three hundred years ago, Blackbeard the pirate was brought 173 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: to justice off the Carolina coast. I had no idea 174 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: that he was, you know, he died in what is 175 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: now American soil, but I never put it together that 176 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: that he you know, he did that for Britain in 177 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: the American colonies, and he had sailed across the high 178 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: seeds from you know, from New York to the Caribbean, 179 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: all over the place, and they have all kinds of 180 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: like shops and souvenirs. With black Beard and the Cape 181 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: Fear River, which I was told is the dirtiest river, 182 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: dirtiest waterway in the Carolinas, That's. 183 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 4: What I was told, looked like San Antonio. 184 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, he resided in the town of Bath and spent 185 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: a lot of his years. Obviously he was robbing merchant ships. 186 00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: Although I did hear, actually I read this that he 187 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: was not seen as a pirate, as like a bad 188 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: guy for the British government. He was seen as like 189 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: a wing of their military. That he was helping the 190 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: British government gain gold and stuff. 191 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 3: The greatness of the raiders. 192 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 1: So it was it was interesting. So they had a 193 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: bunch of stores and stuff. But I was wandering away 194 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: eight Gelatto, right next to the famous river where Blackbeard 195 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: the pirate made a name for himself. Now, as far 196 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: as the Mallard travelogue, we have the twelve pack Mallard 197 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: Travelogue two point zero, and this is the part where 198 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: we went. I went from Wilmington to Charleston for the Malametrie. 199 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: So we left the house, now did We planned to 200 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: go to BUCkies, but BUCkies was out of the way 201 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: and out of the way by like one hundred miles 202 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: total extra one hundred miles. Yeah, that's too far, not 203 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: so fast. But anyway, it's not that bad, Danny, if 204 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 1: you just go from point A to point B. That's 205 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: not how the mallards roll. That's the crow flies. Yeah, 206 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: it's one of those birds going. So we started out. 207 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: My wife's like, all right, there's this really good bakery 208 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: in Wilmington that my my mother in law's titles. But 209 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: the mother in lawge she liked it, and so we 210 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: went there to get some some pastries or whatever. So 211 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: we were at the bakery and it's it's a good 212 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's a nice bakery. Let me have good 213 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: bakeries here. It's a good bakery, good local bakery. And 214 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: so we get a text that back in my father 215 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: in law's house, the gator had shown up across the street. 216 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: So we then had to high tail it back to 217 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: the house because the week, we know, the week we 218 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: were there, the alligator lives in this little retention pond 219 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: to cross the street from the house was not there. 220 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: He was out crawling around in the forest. So this 221 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: is like big. We had to see the alligator. How 222 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: many times you don't see alligators aroun here unless you 223 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 1: go to a zoo. And I did go to a 224 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: zoo by the way, and I saw al get her zoo. 225 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: But anyway, we went back to the house and sure enough, 226 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: there's the gator going for a swim. And so I 227 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 1: asked him, I said, well, is it safe to walk 228 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: around the retention pond? And he's like, yeah, yeah, he said, 229 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: they won't bother you. He said, just don't, you know, 230 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: don't run at them or don't come too close to them. 231 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: But they'll just they won't worry about you. They'll'll do 232 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: your own thing. They'll do your own thing. And they did. 233 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: They did their own thing all right. So then we 234 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: left there. We then had to go back on the road. 235 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 1: We then went to my sister in law's house to 236 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: see her baby. Right, so we still haven't left Wilmington 237 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: and she lives on the other side of town, so 238 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,600 Speaker 1: we had to go over like a couple of bridges 239 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: and whatever. So then of course we get back on 240 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 1: the road and where do you think we had to 241 00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: stop Danny Starbucks, right there to start start, I had 242 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: to stop at Starbucks, so you got a refresher. So 243 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: then we drive a little bit and then wait a minute, wifesight, 244 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: we hat to get some food, so we ate what 245 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: I think was the first lunch. We stopped at bo Jangles. 246 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: I stopped number five by the way at bo Jangles. 247 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: So then right across the street from bow Jangles, we realized, 248 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: wait a minute, there's a Pigley Wiggly, So I want 249 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: to see the Pickley Wiggly. So then we went to 250 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: the Pickley Wiggly and I did a little video in 251 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: the parking lot at the Pickley Wiggly and and you know, 252 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: promoting the Malor Maiden greet. So there we were. I 253 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 1: was at the Pigley Wiggly. Uh. Then we got back 254 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: in the car and we drove and we drove and 255 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: we drove. So we've had six stops and we're finally 256 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 1: leaving the Wilmington area. Then, and I mentioned this on 257 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,479 Speaker 1: the Overnight show, had one of the most surreal stops 258 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: I've ever had, a place called South of the Border. 259 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of South of the Border? Danny 260 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 1: never never? I never heard of it either. I was 261 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: blown away. I was told you got to go check 262 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: this out. It's wild that it still exists, and that's 263 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: not a lie. So South of the Border, how would 264 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: I describe this? It is like being in a time 265 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: capsule from a time far far ago. It's like a 266 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: roadside attraction that used to have a lot of these. 267 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: It is right on the state line from North Carolina 268 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: to South Carolina on I ninety five, the main thoroughfare. 269 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm told it is halfway. That point is halfway between 270 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: New York and Miami on I ninety five. So there's 271 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people that will stop there because it's 272 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: a halfway point or whatever, and it's you gotta look 273 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 1: it up. Then I could say you this some photos, 274 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: but it's it's Nutso it has every stereotype you could 275 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: possibly want right out in front there. It was built today. 276 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: As I said nineteen forty nine, I'm going to look 277 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: it up south of the border in South Carolina off 278 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: I ninety five. 279 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm looking at it right now. 280 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: Originally we stopped to go to the ath room and 281 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: then it was like, wait a. 282 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 4: Minute, here this there's like lots of old, big like statues. 283 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. I took some photos in front of the the 284 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: statues there. It's very very bizarre. Let's see, there's some 285 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: souvenirs here. I don't know which ones I want to 286 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: send here, we'll skip over that one. Blah blah blah 287 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah blah. All right, I should you 288 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: should have fireworks and yeah, and some of some of that. 289 00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: But this, this place was I had never seen anything 290 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: like it. I didn't know it existed. I thought, how 291 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: bad could it be? How crazy could it be? But yeah, 292 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: right there, I just sent you a bunch of photos. 293 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: You'll get at a little taste there. Danny should take 294 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: a second. But the magic of telecommunications and text messaging. 295 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, different things there. 296 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 4: Right, look at that. You're standing next to a racist statue. 297 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 4: It's like Speedy Gonzales Burrito loco. Oh nice, yeah, nice 298 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 4: gift shop. Yeah, there's the big chicken statue. Yeah, very cool. 299 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 4: A couple of chickens there. Yeah. 300 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 1: So it opened originally nineteen forty nine. And check this out. 301 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: What I sent you is actually the cleaned up version 302 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: because it used to be more racist, more on the 303 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: racist side, I guess, back in the day. But they 304 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: made it more of a cartoonish type thing. After they 305 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 1: had to take all the Confederate flags down. Oh you 306 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: still see them, You still see them anyways. So that 307 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: was our stop at South of the Border. Then we 308 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: kept going and shortly after that, about forty five minutes 309 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: I think it was, we got the BUCkies in Florence, 310 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: South Carolina, Gas and dinner, Gas and dinner, or usually 311 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: dinner and then gas. But we were at BUCkies. Awesome, 312 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: live up to the hype recommended. Love my BUCkies. Love 313 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: My BUCkies was everything I thought it would be. And 314 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: then some people were not lying when they talked about Buckies' 315 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: biggest gas station I'd seen, and they had unbelievable food options, 316 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: endless amounts of food. I went with the brisket sandwich, 317 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: which was just delicious, just wonderful. And then we did 318 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: something Danny by the way, where eight stops in on 319 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: the Mallard travelogue two point zero from Wilmington, North Carolina Charleston, 320 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 1: South Carolina. So I went to BUCkies, got back in 321 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: the car, and we we audibled audible, audible audible. Leaving Florence, 322 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: South Carolina. We then drove all across South Carolina and 323 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: we stopped we were monster hunting. Danny Monster Hunting stopped 324 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: at a small town in the boondocks of South Carolina. 325 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: Most towns are small in South Carolina. Have you heard 326 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 1: of the lizard Man of scape or swamp? 327 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 4: Negative? 328 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, neither did I. But one of our close confidants said, hey, 329 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: you got to check this out. There's like their version 330 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 1: of Bigfoot. And so this goes back to the nineteen eighties, 331 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: late nineteen way back in the late nineteen eighties in 332 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: Lee County, South Carolina, there's supposedly a creature walking around 333 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: a swamp, the lizard Man of Scape or swamp. So 334 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: we punched in the GPS where the swamp was. We'll 335 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: go there, we'll check it out, and we did. We 336 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 1: went there and we drove off this dirt road, just 337 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: like you'd think in all those movies about the South 338 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,200 Speaker 1: dirt Road. We went to the end of a dirt road. 339 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: It had rained a little bit. Everything was all muddy, 340 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,919 Speaker 1: that thick southern mud all over the car. So we 341 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: then parked the car. Then the GPS says, we have 342 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 1: to walk about a mile to the swamp. 343 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, and we did. 344 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 3: Well. 345 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,159 Speaker 1: We were wearing we all had like sandals on for 346 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 1: the drive, so we made a last second decision to 347 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: I walked a little bit down the path to the swamp, 348 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: but there were so many beer cans, like a bunch 349 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: of like dudes were hanging out drinking beer all over there, 350 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: probably thinking they're going to find the lizardman of the swamp. 351 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: So we didn't actually end up getting all the way 352 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: to the swamp, but we were out. We were close enough, 353 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: but we were worried the car was gonna get stuck 354 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 1: in the mud, the rental car, and then we. 355 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 4: We totally totally screwed. 356 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: So we we did try to find the swamp monster, 357 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: but we didn't. And then on the way out of there, 358 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 1: driving through South Carolina, our tent stop was unexpected. We 359 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: were driving through Sumpter, South Carolina, and right on the 360 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: side of road was a historical site. Who were like, oh, 361 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: what could that be? And sure enough that was a 362 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: battle from the Civil War right there on the side 363 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: of the highway, Battle of Dingles Hall. Now I had 364 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: never heard of that. That's not the most famous Civil 365 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: War battle, but this was one of the final battles 366 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: of the Civil War before it ended, and in fact 367 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: it had actually ended. According to the sign there, but 368 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: communication was not good. They didn't have text messaging back 369 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: in the eighteen hundreds, and so even though the South 370 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: General Lee had given up, the soldiers in Sumter did 371 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 1: not get the message. So they were fighting still, even 372 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: though the war had already been decided. That the North 373 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: beat the South. That sucks. Yeah, that's pretty bad. But 374 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: they had a memorial. 375 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 4: They had some dude, imagine losing your left leg in 376 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 4: a fight that didn't even count anymore, I know. 377 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: And there were dudes that had died there and they 378 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,400 Speaker 1: had their their they were buried right there on the battlefield. 379 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: Now here's where it gets at awkward, Dady. So we're 380 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: out in the middle of nowhere, off the side of 381 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 1: this country road, Battle of Jingles Hall. I gotta go 382 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: to the bathroom. So I want to be respectful. I 383 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: can't go go to the bathroom on a Civil War battlefield, right, 384 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: you know that that'd be rude, even though I don't 385 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: think the people there will complain because they're not around anyone. 386 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 1: So but I had to go partly. So what I 387 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: did is I walked. I made a technical decision. I 388 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: walked out into the to the woods behind the battlefield, 389 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: and uh, and I took care of business back there, 390 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: but it was a pretty decent one. I felt like 391 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,359 Speaker 1: it would be rude to do it right out, and 392 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: we were the only ones there was. There was no one, 393 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: you know, as far as I could see. And then 394 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 1: on the way we got back and we were driving, 395 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: that was the ten stop. We did not stop in Darlington, 396 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: but I am amazed. I'm not a big NASCAR guy, 397 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 1: but we we drove past Darlington, which is home of 398 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 1: the Lady in Black. The Darlington Raceway, it is nuts. 399 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: It reminded me of lambeau Field. That's the comp I 400 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: would give the Darlington Raceway because I've been to Green Bay, 401 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: and you go to Green Bay, there's nothing there, and 402 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you have this Matt monstrosity 403 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: lambeau Field. Well, Darlington, South Carolina has about six thousand 404 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 1: people that live in it, and they have this fifty 405 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: thousand seat NASCAR stadium right there, right in the middle 406 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: of the town. So that that was pretty pretty nuts. 407 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: So and then we kept going ahead and stop at 408 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 1: Target to go to the bathroom. 409 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 4: Again. 410 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: I guess I drank too much. I had to keep 411 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: going to the bathroom. Then we had dinner at Zaxby's. 412 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: Zaxby's we had. I guess that's the second dinner we had. 413 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: I think that was the second dinner at Zaxby's. And 414 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: that led to a great debate, Danny, between me and 415 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:03,160 Speaker 1: a key member of the entourage. Zaxby's or bo Jangles. 416 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: Which is better Zaxby's or bow Jangles. Not bo Jangles, 417 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: but I was debating zaxby We agreed raising Canes is 418 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: better than both of them, and bo Jangles is coming 419 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: to LA next year. I believe Zaxby's is fine, but 420 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 1: bo Jangles is better. It's more options, more side dishes 421 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,880 Speaker 1: at bo Jangles. We were there a couple of years 422 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: ago for a wedding, and I don't know how often 423 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to be in the South, though I guess 424 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: more than I would anticipate, because my father in law 425 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,880 Speaker 1: bought a house there in Wilmington, so I would think 426 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: I'll probably end up going back a fair amount of time, 427 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: at least every few years, every you know, three or 428 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: four years, something like that. 429 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 4: It'll be a bo Jangles Jangler club member. 430 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: My right hand was getting a workout. Yeah, exactly, we 431 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: do have though, Danny, I mentioned on yesterday's podcast, we 432 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: had the phrase of the week, but now we have 433 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: the marketing slowgan of the week. Are you ready for that? 434 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,679 Speaker 4: Marketing slogan of the week? 435 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: All right, and the slogan of the week this week 436 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: is finger licking good. Now. I love this phrase from 437 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 1: Kentucky Fried Chicken. The advertising slogan pimpsah yeah, baby looking good. 438 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: Kentucky Fried Chicken has used that in It goes back 439 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 1: to the nineteen fifties, and it's rather obvious what it 440 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: refers to that their food is so delicious and you 441 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: have to lick your fingers to savor all the juices 442 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: and the crumbs of the chicken left behind it. It's 443 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: so amazing, you have to enjoy it. It's just greats. 444 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: But I looked up the backstory. How did they come 445 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: up with it? It must have been some slick marketing firm 446 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: that came up with it, a Manhattan marketing firm that said, okay, 447 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: this is a good slogan for a chicken restaurant, finger 448 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: looking good. 449 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 3: No. 450 00:24:54,480 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: No, The slogan finger linking good happened by accident. It 451 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: came about by accident during a commercial. A customer featured 452 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: in a commercial for Kentucky Fried Chicken was eating the 453 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,280 Speaker 1: chicken in the background, and if view were called in 454 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 1: to complain about the customer licking his fingers, and the 455 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: manager who was part of the ad, this guy named 456 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: Ken Harborough, responded to the person complaining about the back 457 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: in the nineteen fifties, if you're licking your fingers, that 458 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: was a sexual act. And this guy Ken, the manager 459 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: of the chicken place it, responded by saying, well, it's 460 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:36,719 Speaker 1: finger licking good, and that slogan from that point forward 461 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: has been used by Kentucky Fried Chicken. So a guy 462 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: named Ken the manager there, telling telling the tail, and 463 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: that's how that Originally. It wasn't some slick marketing firm 464 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: that came up with it. It was just some dude 465 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: trying to calm down a disgruntled customer who was offended 466 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: by someone licking their fingers after eating the chicken. So anyway, 467 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: that is the marketing slogan of the week, finger licking 468 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: good and anything else, Danny that we forgot here, anything 469 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,639 Speaker 1: that we did not get to that we should have 470 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: gotten to. I'm trying to think, what do we have? 471 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 4: Well I have I'm glad I didn't have to drive 472 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 4: on this trip. I'm going to be headed to the 473 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 4: airport here in just a little bit on this Saturday Thursday, 474 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 4: when I got home from work. This is we could 475 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 4: use this as a PSA. I don't know if these 476 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 4: are necessary on podcasts, but on our network we have 477 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 4: to do a certain amount of psa time, and I 478 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,479 Speaker 4: know you give those from time to time on your 479 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 4: overnight show. 480 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: At one point I was the king of the PSA. Yes, yep, 481 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: mister PSA. 482 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 4: Don't do a lost cat magnet. 483 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 1: Don't do a lost cat magnet. 484 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,959 Speaker 4: This is called slow down or have nightmares forever. So 485 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 4: the first time this happened was a few months back 486 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 4: when the WiFi and I went on a little Mini 487 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 4: Vaca when we were in Waikiki. We jumped from one 488 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 4: hotel to another one halfway through the trip. As we 489 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 4: left the first hotel, we got the rental truck, threw 490 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 4: all the luggage in, and thank goodness, I did not 491 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 4: speed off of the property. I took my foot off 492 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 4: the brake and I started to move this big truck slowly. 493 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 4: Thank god, Ben, because out in front of the truck 494 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 4: came a little kid, just a couple of years old, 495 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 4: who ran away from his mom and dad, and he 496 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 4: made a beeline straight into the valet area and ran 497 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 4: right in front of my moving truck. Whoa that was 498 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 4: Klausch I hit that brake so hard, came within a 499 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 4: few inches of hitting this kid.
