Speaker 1:

Are you ready for the confession? I know you're just her. Neither myself or Reese has ever gone inside the Corvette Museum, but everybody says you got to go.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, I'm not like a huge, like car girl.

Speaker 1:

Do you love the outdoors? Do you love to travel? Do you love finding hidden treasures in towns all over the USA? Hi, I'm Joshua.

Speaker 3:

And I'm Craig, and welcome to Treasures of Our Town, the podcast that takes you on a journey to explore the unique and charming towns hidden throughout the United States.

Speaker 1:

Join us as we venture to some of the country's most intriguing destinations, uncovering hidden gems and local secrets along the way.

Speaker 3:

On today's episode, josh, we have a very, very special guest. I felt like I've known her since she was like a real young child or such we're probably about 10 years of age but I only actually met her in person like a month or two ago. It is the one the only. Some people call her Reese's buddy, but you call her my daughter and Reese Johnson. She's going to be on the show today.

Speaker 1:

Can you believe it? I know Daughter Reese is on the show and she's taken us to a special place. Yeah, she's taken us to a state that we have been to together, and that is we're going back to Kentucky. Oh good, old Kentucky.

Speaker 3:

I remember the bourbon we had from Kentucky. They can take all this delicious. I had some last. I finished a bottle last night.

Speaker 1:

actually, you finished the Green River bottle last night, yeah, yeah. Wow. Yeah, you just like drink it. Do you drink it straight up, or what?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, straight up with ice, and remember that's what they told us to do. We went on that. We went on the tour, the bourbon tour, and they told us how to drink it. And what I do is because, yeah, it made the fire in my throat, like always, like just one ice, but I put a little like I'm talking like a thimble of watering and bam, it changed it straight away and made the nice, the flavoring in the mouth and then smoothed down the throat. So, yeah, that was good. There you go. So, yeah, I finished the bottle.

Speaker 1:

I have so much left. Oh really, I have so much left. You know I need to try to mix it into a Bloody Mary. You know I love my Bloody.

Speaker 3:

Mary's yes.

Speaker 1:

And it does. We tried one at the airport when we left Kentucky. Yeah, we did it has a kind of a smoky, a smoky taste to the Bloody Mary. It was very unique. I love the Bloody Mary's. Anyway, craig, do you need to?

Speaker 3:

How have you been? I've been good, mate. I've been good. The GIF reel has been released now from the GIFFF. People don't know what GIF reel is. Gifff stands for GIFF, international Film Festival, and if you didn't actually realize that I had a, I submitted a film for the film festival and it was proudly say it was actually selected as a finalist, and so there was 18 finalists in total. All the festival is now completed and finished and the full reel is now available on YouTube, or mine itself is available on my channel and I do like a prelude to it as well, so I give people a bit of more of a backstory about it, because it's not just the stock standard funny, or FTF or let's go find a cash type style. It's basically how I started geocaching, so so, yeah, that's now out and that's now done. I've got a lot of support on from the geocaching community, which is great. You know a lot of people reach out in so many different ways now it's incredible.

Speaker 1:

That was really awesome. Really loved your film. I got to see it before anybody else, yeah, you did. Which was really cool. I got to see it before the final product and it was great because, you're right, a lot of those films tend to go on the funny, funnier side yeah.

Speaker 1:

And this one talked about just the very important issue of mental health and really appreciated your authenticity and your transparency, and I think the geocaching community really appreciated it too. So they did check it out. It's in our show notes, certainly. Is called echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes, echoes.

Speaker 3:

Echoes. Now do you know the reason for the actual name? Josh, you think about it.

Speaker 1:

I think I kind of think you do no, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Basically, just a quick, quick rundown is that echoes is because I suffer from PTSD, you see, and so it's the echo that features in my brain from the things that I've seen and done and experiences of the pad in my journey as a police officer. So yeah, it goes in my brain. So that's where it comes up with echoes.

Speaker 1:

So anyway, let's get on to some nice and friendly stuff.

Speaker 3:

Thanksgiving We've just had Thanksgiving as well. A happy Thanksgiving to you, mate.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, thanksgiving's the best Thanksgiving's my favorite.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, what did you do for the Thanksgiving?

Speaker 1:

It's like one of my favorite American holidays. What did you do? What did you do? Oh, we just had family over. We hosted, as you know, we remodeled our level, our first level of our house.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So it was perfect for hosting. I went to Walmart and I bought a six foot table. I extended our table out. Wow, so it was like a large, large, like boardroom table. We just had a good old fashioned meal. My parents were here my brother, my niece and nephew. We had a great time. We got to watch football. There's not a lot of pressure around Thanksgiving other than the meal.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know, in the holidays Christmas can be a little bit like gifts for everybody, but this is just about spending time and being grateful, which I love, and you had all three kids there with you this year as well. Yeah All three Wow Wow.

Speaker 3:

Wow.

Speaker 1:

First time in five years, that's cool. Yeah, we flew Jonah home. He's still in college in Bowling Green, which is what we're talking about today.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Perfect, and yeah, it was really amazing to have the whole family here.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And speaking of Thanksgiving and one of our favorite games, yes, monsie. Yes, I have to mention this. So if you don't know what Monsie is, it's another location-based game, like Geocaching, like it's based on QR codes, but you get a lot of badges. Yeah, A lot of badges I love the badges, craig yes, you do, I love the badges, and they put out a badge this week that was based on trains, planes and automobiles. What you know, that I do, you know. Don't be surprised.

Speaker 3:

I do. I'm trying to act surprised like I'm actually interested in what you're saying which I am no let me know, but planes, trains and automobiles. Well, I mentioned it in my other podcast with Rob, the president of Monsie, as well. We discussed it.

Speaker 3:

And Josh, he didn't. I said that. I said that because it's about Dylan, one of the one of the the, the staff of Monsie, and it's his, it's his. And so it was planes, trains and automadiles, not automa, yeah, so that was pretty cool. And I said to him at the time, rob, I said, oh, you know what Dylan, you know what he's, he's proud of his town. I said that's a rare thing these days. I said that in the podcast and then and he just agreed with me like it was no, no, no, no, no, laugh, no, nothing. And I said to him you do know, that's actually a line from the show he goes what are you talking about? And so I had to educate him, josh, like you do with me all the time when you say this is a line from that particular show. So, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

I love it.

Speaker 3:

I love it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's so funny because it's a parody it has the president of Monsie is the Steve Martin character and then Dylan. Dylan is a giant candy character. I had to go out and we had to cap in the game. We had to cap these VHS tapes basically.

Speaker 3:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

And I got all three badges and maybe really happy.

Speaker 3:

That's really cool. That's really cool. Speaking of Monsie, one more thing we're running down as well. Guess what's just been released to. As this one goes live, as this episode goes live, a brand new Monsie tutorial series on my personal channel. Yes, Wow. Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1:

So if you're listening to this and you don't know we're talking about, you can go to Craig's channel and he can educate you on how to play, and it is a beginner series too.

Speaker 3:

Josh, I will say that.

Speaker 3:

So, those people who play and play often. They can watch it. Of course they can, you know, I'm not going to stop them from doing it, but they won't benefit from it. The ones who will definitely benefit from it are the ones who thinking to themselves yeah, exactly what is this Monsie that they're talking about? What is QR codes? What are the points? And, to be honest, josh, monsie is a lot more intricate let's just say the geocaching In my mind More complicated, there's more rabbit holes to go down, there's a lot more things to learn, and so this is just literally a beginner tutorial series. There's eight episodes in the series as well, talking from anything to what is Monsie, all the way through the virtual Monsies, physical Monsies, things like that. So just the basics.

Speaker 1:

I love that, just the basics. I love that. Yeah, yeah, that's all live Well, that's fantastic. But this isn't a geocaching podcast. No, it's not. This isn't a Monsie podcast. This is a travel podcast based on the places that geocaching and games like Monsie bring us Exactly, and so we need to get to our very, very special guest?

Speaker 3:

We sure do. Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and everyone else as well, please welcome the star of the show today, and that is Reese Johnson. How are you going, reese?

Speaker 2:

Hey, please, please hold the applause, please. I wonder where she gets it from.

Speaker 3:

You're going to have to edit some applause in there. I will, I will, don't worry. I wonder where you get it from.

Speaker 2:

I just mentally hear it all the time.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So it'll be nice to hear just like a little added applause in there.

Speaker 3:

And rightfully so too. Let's say say rightfully so. So, reese, you're Josh's eldest child. How old are you?

Speaker 2:

I'm a whole 24 years old, 24. I've been 24 for about two months.

Speaker 3:

Wow. So I've been watching videos of you since you were about 10. So that's 14 years of oh, over half Double your lifetime. I've been watching you on your father's videos. Tell me, going back, a little bit of history on you itself as well. So, going back to when your dad started doing videos itself, did you want to be in the videos? What did you think when he started geocaching in videos and stuff like that too? Did you enjoy what were you doing? Or?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, absolutely. It sounds probably pretty cheesy, but I think, just as kids, we all just enjoyed spending time with our parents, and so not only were we spending time with our parents, but we were also doing two other things that kids love doing, and that's being outside and then, on top of that, being creative. I think that was something that was kind of been instilled in us since forever. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Well, I'm not sure if you know this Reese or not that when I started geocaching my kids the first day that we went geocaching, I came home and I was cooking dinner and I heard your dad's voice in the living room. I was like what is that? And it was my son watching YouTube videos of you and your dad and geocaching. And so it was because of your family unit. My kids then said to me can we start videos, dad? So it was their idea, as well as kids to start videos because they watched you, they watched Jonah and they loved watching you with their dad and playing this awesome game, which is really awesome. So thank you for that. Just saying Absolutely.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

And you know what, what? We don't have this in the show notes, but I just realized, yeah, reese just got back from a trip, yeah, and I think she needs to share about it because she had some amazing things happen to her when she went to New York and to Paris and beyond.

Speaker 3:

Tell us about your trip, Reese. Where did you go? Where did you go?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I did basically a world tour in 10 days alone. What, yes?

Speaker 3:

Australia not included, though I'll take it.

Speaker 2:

No, it's really not included, so not really a world tour. It wasn't really a world tour it was a northern hemisphere tour.

Speaker 3:

Northern hemisphere tour, absolutely.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I went to New York for about four days, and then, after New York, I flew to Paris, where I spent another five days, I think, and then I flew to Oslo, norway.

Speaker 1:

And then I came home.

Speaker 3:

Wow, it was really fun.

Speaker 1:

She had a very special meeting with somebody in New York. You should tell them about that, oh.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I did, I did. I'm not going to go into too much detail.

Speaker 3:

No, I don't think she can go into too much detail as yet.

Speaker 1:

Let's just say that she's got connections.

Speaker 3:

But she does have connections and, yeah, I heard about it at the time. What can you tell us about the connections that you're referring to?

Speaker 2:

Yeah. So I had the opportunity to go to an event this summer for a pretty major publication and there I actually had the opportunity to speak with the CEO of this publication. And then we swapped numbers and basically I was like, hey, I'm going to be in New York City because I was making some content for an artist in New York City. And she was like, well, come on by, We'll show you the headquarters. And so I went there and I ended up her meeting. After me was the Olympic skier, Lindsay Vaughn.

Speaker 3:

Wow.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, who just happened to actually go to my middle school. So it was really cool that I got to say to her like hey, lindsay, I've always looked up to you, like literally your pictures in my middle school and she's like you go to blank middle school. I was like, yeah, I go to blank middle school. So it was a really wild experience.

Speaker 1:

The CEO of this company must have been like this woman. Reese knows everyone.

Speaker 3:

Exactly, josh. I will say Josh, reese just said blank middle school because she can actually, you know, edit herself as she goes, unlike her dad. You know, like Josh, just I have to edit Josh so much more than what I can read. That's really cool, reese. That's congratulations, by the way. But you know what Well deserved because you are a hard worker at it, but all your family are hard workers. I'll say that I've known the family for a while now and and all five of you are extremely hard works, including your mother as well Beautiful, beautiful, such a hard work, exactly, exactly.

Speaker 3:

So we're going to move now on to bowling green. So where is bowling green? Josh, you messaged me about bowling green and I'm like what, where's bowling green? Bowling green.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think there's a bowling green Ohio too. Oh, okay, don't confuse it with bowling green Ohio. This is bowling green Kentucky, and bowling green Kentucky is about our north of Nashville, okay, and it is the location of Western Kentucky University. This is my connection to it, because not one, but two of my children are on the nationally recognized champion speech and forensics team there. Oh okay. So I have had many visits to bowling green, and Reese and her brother Jonah have lived there for quite some time.

Speaker 3:

Oh wow. So what made you go to bowling green, then Reese.

Speaker 2:

It really wasn't on my radar until my senior year of high school, where I was pretty heavily involved in speech and debate and I was offered an opportunity to compete on the team and also a very, very good deal for school and so which father really appreciated.

Speaker 2:

Yes, yes, and so I remember I told my dad I was like dad, I guess you know what I'm going to school in rural Kentucky, and that wasn't the plan at all. I think it was like a month before school started where I actually like signed the contract and made a decision to go, and so we took a road trip all the way through down to bowling green Kentucky.

Speaker 1:

That's a good accent, Reese.

Speaker 3:

That really is.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I did, I did. It's another one of my egos at this point.

Speaker 3:

So basically, so it's a school down there itself. Is it the call the bowling green college or what's it called?

Speaker 2:

It's called Western Kentucky University.

Speaker 3:

Western Kentucky, western Kentucky.

Speaker 1:

They're the hill toppers. Oh, and if you look at what their mascot is like a big red blob.

Speaker 2:

It's not a hill, it's the top of a hill.

Speaker 1:

Oh, that has eyes. He looks like a red grimace, like grimace from the gold. And his name is big red. Right, I think his name should be toppy because he's a hill topper, but it's big red.

Speaker 2:

Well, our slogan is tops on top. Oh, that's fair enough.

Speaker 3:

That's fair enough. So, josh, when you said to me about, like you know, oh, let's go to bowling green, and think to myself well, I don't know, I don't know if you or Reese know, have you either of you ever heard of the sport slash hobby of lawnmills?

Speaker 1:

Lawn bowls. Lawn bowls yeah, is it the same thing as Bachi?

Speaker 3:

ball. No, no, very, very different. So lawn bowls is a is a more of a British game, british, I think. Maybe Canada play it as well, but it's even in the Commonwealth Games, which you're not a part of because you're not part of the Commonwealth, but Australians play it and I, when I was growing up, it was was one of my hobbies that I had, apart from, believe it or not, ballroom dancing, but I played. I played lawn bowls as well.

Speaker 3:

Lawn bowls is predominantly an older person's sport or hobby, you know. And all of these is very similar to Bachi, except you don't actually throw the ball itself. The Bachi ball it's a lawn bowl and it's got a bias on one side, so it's heavier on one side than the other. And so you, you bowl the ball down the green, and it's a bowling green that you're on, so you see. So you bowl the lawn bowl down the green and it goes out wide and then comes into a white small jack, and so it's how many closest to the jack wins that. You know that end, so to speak. So yeah, so there you go. You learn something new every day. You're welcome.

Speaker 1:

I don't really know why bowling green is called bowling green. Do you know, Rhys?

Speaker 2:

I mean, I think a Google search might answer that question. No, that wasn't part of orientation at all.

Speaker 3:

Imagine that in your orientation now, the reason why we're called bowling green is everyone, all the young people would be like we don't really care, just come on, let's get on with it.

Speaker 1:

So the reason I wanted to talk about bowling green, of course my kids have lived there. I've visited there many times. I believe it fits the. You know the theme of this podcast which is it has lots of hidden treasures. People don't think think of bowling green all the time. No, a lot of people. When you bring it up, they think it's in Ohio and bowling green has a lot to offer once you discover it.

Speaker 3:

Well, we're going to go through very soon, like in regards to Rhys' highlights the top five, if you not, of the places that you've been to in or around bowling green that you actually really enjoy. And again, I read through the show notes, rhys, I didn't realize the quality of tourism that can be, you know. And again, Josh, the little small towns that no one really knows about, and that's exactly what this podcast is about the treasures of your town. So that's really cool. But before we start, any good place to eat, rhys, that you can think of what sort of places that you like to eat at, absolutely.

Speaker 2:

Well, here's the thing. Bowling green is actually I believe this is true and someone can fact check me on this post show, but I believe it has the most restaurants per capita than any others like a town in the US. Wow. So literally the entirety of bowling green is restaurants, and it's I believe.

Speaker 2:

Someone told me it was because it's often the place where travelers will stop coming from the north, going into the south. So a lot of chain restaurants specifically will have like test stores there, basically to see how these restaurants work, how they play out, and so literally the entire landscape of bowling green is pretty much restaurants.

Speaker 1:

Wow, yeah, that main strip is every chain you could ever think of, Including my favorite Texas Roadhouse. Oh, there he is the definition of America.

Speaker 2:

Don't you have Shays in Texas Red House?

Speaker 3:

Is that the one? What's that? Oh yeah, Shays, in Texas Red House. Oh, you know I'm a stockholder.

Speaker 1:

Yes, we talk about that. We talked about that on the Grand Forks episode All right, give us some of the stuff that you're talking about.

Speaker 3:

All right, give us some of the ones that you actually like to eat at Rhys. What are some of the names of the ones you like to eat at?

Speaker 2:

So if you're going to get coffee or something to eat in the morning, the number one place that people will tell you to go is Spencer's Coffee. They have two locations. It is amazing coffee for both the summer and the winter, and I mean it's packed with college students, but it's not just a college spot. Literally everyone in the town goes to Spencer's Coffee. There's also my favorite restaurant, and a lot of people might not agree with me on this, but I have literally traveled all over the world. I've been to Europe, I've been to Africa, I've been to New York, which is like the heaven of the world, but I will say my favorite restaurant of all time is this place called Shogun Express.

Speaker 1:

Now, it sounds like a chain. It sounds like a chain restaurant.

Speaker 2:

It's not a chain restaurant, it is a drive-thru sushi restaurant. It's small. There's two things that you must get. There is the Boston Roll, which is amazing, but they also have this roll called the Pink Lady Roll, and it is like the South and Sushi put together into this beautiful, unhealthy mess of amazingness.

Speaker 1:

The South and Sushi put together Interesting.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely.

Speaker 3:

See, I don't get that and maybe it's just me, because I'm from Australia and predominantly 98% of our population is literally on the coastline. I don't understand eating sushi or fish-related products inland. So you're in the middle of Kentucky and yet here they have as a sushi place and it's your favorite place of all time which is a huge, that's a huge call.

Speaker 2:

Like I don't get it either.

Speaker 3:

I don't understand it.

Speaker 2:

I don't know what goes on in there and I, honestly, I don't really even want to know, but what I do know is that my friends got to the point with me where I was so obsessed and I didn't have a car in college so I had to use them to, like, go through the drive-thru and I was so obsessed with this restaurant that they created a fake article that said it burnt down what Just to prank you.

Speaker 2:

They were like Reese, we can't go, it burnt down. And I was like no, it didn't. And they're like no, look, here's the news article that says it burnt down. And I cry and then, like a couple of weeks later, I walk by it and I'm like it's not burnt down and it was a rift in our actual culture.

Speaker 3:

So you walk by it but you can't eat it because you don't have a car. Is that what you're saying? It's drive-thru only.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you can't eat inside. I mean, I guess you could walk through the drive-thru, but that's pretty desperate.

Speaker 3:

Have you done that, Reese? Have you walked through the drive-thru? Have you been that desperate?

Speaker 2:

I haven't. They did get on DoorDash oh there you go, problem solved.

Speaker 3:

Problem solved Exactly Any other places before we move on Reese.

Speaker 2:

And then if you want some like actual, like high quality food, there's this restaurant called Hickory and Oak. It is really well known in Bowling Green and they have an amazing brunch where it's unlimited brunch. It is like $100, but it is so worth it. It is, people come from all over just to have Hickory and Oak. So 10 out of 10 would recommend Hickory and Oak.

Speaker 3:

Fair enough, hickory and Oak. It even sounds like actually a good name for a restaurant as well, like an upper class sort of restaurant. Hickory and Oak, as opposed to Shogun Express.

Speaker 1:

Shogun Express sounds like something you get at the mall. Yes, incredible.

Speaker 3:

I do have a Shogun restaurant near me. I've never actually been to it, but it is a restaurant that is attached to a golf course, so it's going to be totally different.

Speaker 2:

It's a very common name, but I've learned that they're definitely not the same Shogun to Shogun.

Speaker 3:

And I see in the show notes there's one more. One more on the show notes as well Hyligans what's Hyligans about?

Speaker 2:

Okay, so Hyligans is for a very specific crowd of people. Hyligans is I lived like, literally a block from it. It is a very cheap place to get drinks that are very good. It definitely has a college vibe to it.

Speaker 3:

I was going to say college town.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, depending on when you go, maybe a summer wouldn't be too bad.

Speaker 2:

No, no, and it's also just like. It's kind of like a cultural experience too, where it's like very southern. A lot of my friends have worked there. It's a great atmosphere, even though when you first see it it might come across as kind of like dirty. It's a great, it's a fun time.

Speaker 3:

Well, I've been. The only thing I can relate to, Rhys, is that I've been geocaching around Rutgers College here in New Jersey and in going around there and geocaching around Rutgers itself, I've seen these dive bars that you're referring to that literally sell like one or two dollar beers, you know, in plastic cups and like sticky floor, and is that the sort of style that they're sort of vibing talking about? You know, like the real good college, Absolutely.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely. But the food on top of it is actually really good, so like people will literally go there for lunch, like in between classes and stuff.

Speaker 3:

Same with this, same with this bar as well. They had like amazing paninis, like the paninis were out of this world that they were actually serving, you know, and cheap, because it's a college town. It's so cheap, it's so cheap. So that's really cool, rhys, I've got to ask you another question, by the way, going back to you know, you and your dad and you know geocaching since you were 10. Do you geocache without him at all?

Speaker 2:

I think whenever I would, if I would geocache without him, it would be for other people to experience it.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I should teach them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Like I probably would never go alone. I view it I view it personally as like something you do to like have an experience with someone else.

Speaker 3:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's how I've always viewed it, and so if I did do it, it would usually be like to show like my friends, or something like hey, look, what's like right here at this place.

Speaker 3:

So so did you go geocaching in Paris. Then Did you find a cash in Paris. This is painful.

Speaker 1:

She didn't. She didn't go to a cash in Paris. She didn't go to a cash in Norway. She didn't go to a cash in Portugal. She Are you kidding me? I don't even have those countries, you just need to find one race, doesn't I? You just need to find one, just you could have made a video, I would have put it on my channel. Missed opportunity big time, but she did go to frost Frost. She went to frost, was frost Frozen?

Speaker 2:

so yeah, well, you just gave away the ending. Sorry, I was like alone at night in Oslo and the thing is, norway shuts down at like 7 pm.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, like Australia.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah. And so I was walking on the street and I'm like, oh, there's a theater, let me go in the theater. And I walk in. I'm like, hey, is there like any shows tonight? She's like, yeah, there is a show. And Every Oslo is also the most expensive city in the world. Yeah, I was like how much is?

Speaker 1:

it.

Speaker 2:

And she was like it's $60 or like $65, and I was like I can't. And she's like are you American? I was like yeah, and then she was like well, how about this? How about I just give you the student ticket and you come back? That's like okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah cool, I'll come back. And I came back and she gives me the ticket and it's the front row of this show, wow. And she's like oh, by the way, it's all in Norwegian, but you, you won't have a, you won't have a hard time understanding it. I was like, are you sure I'm not gonna? I don't know Norwegian. She's like no, you'll understand it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I understand the song they go like okay.

Speaker 2:

And so I walk in and it's, it just says frost. And I'm like, okay, what is this? And then I hear, as like, the curtains pull back. It's like, and it's that, that, that, that, that. Do you want to build a snowman? I'm like, oh, it's frozen oh Sing it.

Speaker 1:

Sing it in Norwegian though.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that'd be so fancy.

Speaker 1:

You do it like the Swedish chef. That's not.

Speaker 3:

No, no, no, that's still. That's still not. Not really going back to geocaching again. Reason the reason why I asked if you geocache without your dad is if you're in bowling green, for instance. Did you actually find any geocache with your friends in bowling green to sort of show them what it's about then I?

Speaker 2:

Think I actually did a couple of times. But that was more like my sophomore freshman year of college. Oh, okay.

Speaker 1:

There is a very special geocache in bowling green. Yeah, that Recents gone to with me. Jonah's been there with me and that is the cash across America Geocache. Oh, for, kentucky is in bowling green.

Speaker 3:

Wow, there you go now, josh. Did you actually find it, though? Because I've just watched your latest. I'll just watch your latest video, which, by the way, I'll say is a great video. Fantastic video. You and sorry, not you, but Jonah did a great job, and Goliath Goliath was an absolute star in that video. What a star an absolute star, although, yeah, it does get a little bit, let's just say, you know, emrated when you see Goliath have a little shower. But apart from that, you know.

Speaker 1:

My gosh. Yeah, so there's a cash America in Kentucky and I think this is really important for people to know because this is really about the show is about right. Yeah, this is cash across America is a series of geocaches. There's one special geocache that's designated a cash across America cash in each state in the United States. Inside each of those caches there's a little code. After you've found all 50, you get, you do a little bit of math and it takes you to the final one in Washington DC. So there's lots of people that it's a challenge to try to get every single one of these, yeah, across America geocaches, to find them all. And I have found three of them. Well, no, I found two of them. I've DNF one and you can see that on the video. I did if the one in my own state.

Speaker 3:

I haven't stayed. That's 15 minutes away from you. Yeah Well, in saying that, though, you'd rather DNF that one than DNF one in Alaska or Hawaii, just this, this is so true, yeah, but but the cash across America geocache.

Speaker 1:

They're often hidden at special places, and this one is right outside the National Corvette Museum. Oh, we're kind of angry.

Speaker 3:

You can't give too much away because we got to get the list very very soon Okay we guys to the top, the top five. I thought that's where we were going. Next, the reason the reason why I asked about geocaching as well Is that there's an old virtual. Josh, did you? If you found the old virtual there, it's from October of 2001.

Speaker 1:

I'm not sure.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, gc, gc 228 C is the actual GC code. It's an yeah, october 2001, an old school virtual. So, um, yeah, that's there itself. And this sort of virtuals again is one of those ones where I think it's just a photo or it's some questions and that's all it is. So it's okay. They come like in the middle of town, I do believe to. So it's just really cool, reese, when you do geocaching with your friends, you don't do the virtual, you just do the traditionals, do you? Just to find something, a container of sorts, to get them excited about it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, for sure. It's usually based on like where we are in that moment. So if we're, like you know, in like the historic downtown, then I'm like hey guys, by the way, under that lamppost, go, look underneath.

Speaker 1:

Be like what's the drug?

Speaker 3:

Drugs? Yeah, it's a dropbox. That's right what you want me to lift? Your skirt. What are you talking about, you know? No, no, the lamppost, the lamppost skirt. Well, reese, we don't have those lamppost skirts in Australia, so we we don't have those hides. And Just a quick story when I first came here to America, the first cash I found it was actually in New Jersey, believe it or not. Yeah, I first cash I found in New Jersey and it was a LPC lamp post. It was a pill bottle. I was so excited because I'd seen all the pill bottles and lamp postcashes all on your dad's videos, but I'd never actually found one myself and I was like you know six or seven thousand, you know Fines into my geocaching lifetime and, yeah, I'd never found a pill bottle under a lamppost skirt until that day. So there you go.

Speaker 2:

They're my favorite.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, they're my least favorite but they're so easy to get some time. Let's be honest.

Speaker 1:

Welcome to America. Here's our grungy drive-through geocache grungy Walmart, geocache, spiders and Carblabs, let's get into Reese's top five in no particular order.

Speaker 3:

Josh, you've already mentioned you just mentioned this Corvette Museum. Reese, reese. What's going on with that? Is there a Corvette Museum in Bowling Green?

Speaker 1:

Are you ready for the confession? I know you asked her. Neither myself or Reese has ever gone inside the Corvette Museum, but everybody says you got to go.

Speaker 2:

Yeah yeah, I'm not like a huge like car girl. Everyone, like literally everyone at my college, when their family comes to town they like go do like the Corvette Museum and they're like it was super cool. So it's. I guess it's really cool.

Speaker 3:

I just in my four years living there, I never, I'm not one time and yet, josh, here, it's rare for you not to actually attend a museum, josh, because you are to me, you're the king of museums. You know, you've got me to the more than not.

Speaker 1:

I'm not really a big car person either.

Speaker 1:

True true but, but this is very interesting. I think there's an earth cache there. I think, oh really, because the whole city of Bowling Green, yeah, it's pretty much built on a cave system and in 2014, a sinkhole happened right on the Corvette Museum and all these really expensive Corvettes fell Into. What a sink, a sinkhole. And now, if you go there, there's a piece of glass and you can see the sinkhole and see all these destroyed Corvettes in the sinkhole. Wow, that's cool. That's cool. That's that's worth a price of admission.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that one, that one there, and getting some photos of that would be awesome as well.

Speaker 3:

I can't find the earth cache Josh on there, so maybe there's not a cash there but there should be, this should be one, and when I, when I attend, then there will be one after I, after I leave, just saying because I like my earth caches. So, josh, you mentioned what it's, let's, let's go on the mute. The cave theme you mentioned about the caves. Well, there's several caves, yeah, but what's what? What do you mean? Back this whole cave system around Bowling Green?

Speaker 1:

Well, very nearby, I'd say it's a probably about 15 minute drive from Bowling Green.

Speaker 2:

Nearly everything in Bowling Green is a 15 minute drive.

Speaker 1:

That's true, except Nashville, that's an hour away. But Mammoth Cave is there, which is the, I think, the world's longest cave system in the world. In the world, it is a national park, mm-hmm. And yeah, 560 miles of cave tunnels. It's fantastic.

Speaker 3:

Well, not 560 yet. Eventually there'll be 560. At the moment there's 370 miles, if you read the show notes correctly.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Well, like that's okay, so what they've already discovered, but there's so much more.

Speaker 3:

There's so much more to discover. So the actual map 370 miles Second, I saw as well is in Russia at 119 miles long, so more than double of what the second place is in Russia. So this is a caving system. It is incredible. I have seen photos. I did do some research, had a look at some photos. Mammoth Cave it's called and Mammoth it is Like it is huge. It is huge. I mean I went to the Carlsbad National Park down in New Mexico and I thought that caving system was incredible. But I have to put this on my bucket list now. So Mammoth Cave in or near Bowling Green, kentucky, is on my list now.

Speaker 1:

I think. I mean I think there are some rooms that are large as football fields. It's unbelievable down there. That's insane. And there's so many different types of tours you can take. You can take history tours, you can take actually geological tours. There's every day they have multiple different kinds of tours, so you can visit this cave multiple times and get a different experience every time. It's really a sight to see.

Speaker 3:

And geocaching related again. There are plenty of earth caches there as well. I think there's like four or five different earth caches there too. Now, rhys, I can ask you this question have you been to Mammoth Cave?

Speaker 2:

I have been to.

Speaker 3:

Mammoth Cave. Tell me your experience about Mammoth Cave then.

Speaker 2:

It is quite overwhelming, like it feels almost like I don't know, like a wonder of the world. You will never experience anything like that other than Mammoth Cave, and the tour is pretty intense, like you have to crawl, oh, wow.

Speaker 1:

On some of them. On some of them.

Speaker 2:

And it truly kind of feels like you're going back in time a little bit, and they also give you the history of the people who use these caves throughout history, so it's a really cool thing.

Speaker 1:

I believe there were like hideouts in the Civil War and stuff. Oh yeah, Lots of these caves. Yeah, there would be.

Speaker 3:

What's the temperature like down there? In a guy Is it very mild sort of temperature and it's pretty constant throughout the whole time as well. I only say that because I found that's what it was like in Cullsbad in their caves.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think it varies a little bit, but.

Speaker 1:

I think it's pretty cool 40s and 50s, yeah, and it's constant, which can feel pretty cool when it's like a hot summer day.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. It's a constant temperature, so even when it's snowing outside, or whatever as well, it's still the same temperature inside the caves. So it's amazing that, in regards to the caving system so mammoth caves Now on the list, reese is number two, a cave which is a Lost River Cave. I love this place, lost River Cave. This one, though, is actually closer to Bowling Green itself, though, isn't it? It's like in town. Yeah, reese, have you been to Lost River Cave?

Speaker 3:

I have been to Lost River Cave. Tell me about it. Tell me about it.

Speaker 2:

Well, I've been there one for the cave, but two, there's also zip lining that we did for a couple of people's birthdays on the team that I was on. But Lost River Cave is super cool because, one, it's a venue spot, so there's a lot of people that will have weddings or events in the cave, which is really cool. But then there's another part of it, which is the tour part, and you get into boats actually, so it's like it's literally a boat tour. You get into boats and they paddle down into the cave and there's moments where you have to lay down in a cave so you don't hit your head. It's a beautiful, beautiful spot. It's also known to be extremely haunted.

Speaker 2:

Along with a lot of Bowling Green. In fact, ghost Hunters did a whole episode on Bowling Green and WKU in Lost River Cave, because it is a very spooky spot.

Speaker 3:

I love the idea, though, of the boat tour, like actually getting on a boat. And, Reese, as you say in some parts, you have to lay down Is it available? If people are listening to this podcast itself and think to themselves you know what, I'd like to go and visit this place as well, but I'm elderly, or I'm not, as have the abilities of others, et cetera. Is it still, like you know, terrain One? Can people in wheelchairs still attend?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so it's extremely accessible.

Speaker 3:

Accessible to everyone, yeah.

Speaker 2:

I think literally everyone can.

Speaker 1:

It's probably more accessible than your average cave. It's really set up nicely.

Speaker 2:

It's probably more accessible actually than Mammoth Cave. This is true, this is true.

Speaker 3:

Especially if you have to crawl at some point through Mammoth Cave, depending on the tour you do. You know like, yeah, that's incredible.

Speaker 1:

Now I'm just going to say the park, the whole area outside of Lost River Cave. It is just filled with geocaches. As a matter of fact, it's the Lost River Cave geocaching account, so they really embrace this whole area. I think it's privately owned land, but there's nine geocaches on the property, so it's a great place to go geocaching to.

Speaker 3:

And there is an earth cache there as well, josh, I see as well the Lost River Cave and Valley Earth Cache as well, so that's pretty cool. Yeah, I do see the, and actually, in fact, there's an event coming up there too, josh. Just to let you know Very soon. Oh, guess who? The event's held by Josh. This person is one of our listeners, by the way. It's Jim RKY. Oh yeah, he's local of practical geocaching Practical geocaches. So yeah, shout out to him. I think he listens to this show as well. So there you go. He's the local of the town too.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, he'll be really excited about this podcast. I'm sure he will. He'll have to write in and tell us all the stuff we missed.

Speaker 3:

Absolutely, because there will be plenty of stuff we missed anyway. So now, Rhys, let me go and move on to another one of yours on your list, and it is the downtown square. What's so special about the downtown square of Bowling Green?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so I lived so close to the downtown square where I could walk there every day. So it is surrounded by historic homes that are beautiful to look at. It is right at the top. It's like there's a top of the hill, the historic homes that go down into this historic downtown square, what is pretty much like preserved for a while in Bowling Green. So you have all these historic homes, you have City Hall, but in the square specifically you have about three bars, you have a record store, you have Spencer's Coffee, you have antique stores and that's typically where a lot of the events for the city are held, like the International Festival or the Pride Festival, or the Halloween time, christmas time, stuff like that.

Speaker 1:

It's really refreshing because on the outskirts it's that main strip with all the chain restaurants, and then you go into the downtown square you're like, oh, this is the authentic Bowling Green, which is similar for a lot of towns, but this one there's such a sharp contrast between the downtown and then sort of the strip of chain restaurants, Exactly.

Speaker 2:

It's also where Hickory and Oak is located.

Speaker 3:

Oh, there you go. Well, I'm just looking again. Just some research, looking it up as well. The Fountain Square Park is directly in the middle and that's the one where it looks like a beautiful fountain, right in the middle and, as you said, the backdrop of the actual old town style buildings. Yeah, it takes you back in time that looks. It's very picturesque, extremely picturesque.

Speaker 1:

It looks like a movie. It looks like we're at Forest Gump sat, you know, with his box of chocolates. Yes, life's like a box of chocolates.

Speaker 3:

That's the one. Yeah, it does. It really does. It really does, I like it. Now, moving on from the downtown, you have one more. It's called Shanty Hollow. Shanty Hollow, what the.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, which is like I'm thinking about it now. It sounds like a song or like a movie or something like that.

Speaker 1:

Going on up to the Shanty Hollow.

Speaker 2:

That's exactly what it sounds like, but this is. This is a trail, actually, that my friends and I randomly found and it is truly a hidden gem. It literally feels like you're walking in like a Lord of the Rings movie. There's like these huge boulders that are like the size of a house that you can like climb around, and at the end of the trail there's actually a waterfall, so it's kind of like a little Valley or Canyon. It's stunning, it's beautiful, especially in the fall, and I guarantee there's the geocaches there. It's a little difficult to get to because it is kind of hidden, but it's north of Bowling Green, probably about 15, 20 minutes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it looks like you take some country roads out there.

Speaker 3:

Oh right, yeah, it looks like it ends on a lake of some sort. Yeah, and just to let you know, reese, just for your future reference. There are two traditional ones, one multi and a earth cache. Find them soon and by the looks of it, I think let me just check for you. I do believe the out cache, the earth cache, could be the actual waterfall, because it's right at the tip. That makes sense yeah which makes sense as well. So that's pretty cool.

Speaker 2:

It's one of those waterfalls that you can actually stand underneath it. It's not very strong, but it's really beautiful.

Speaker 3:

That's really nice.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, Careful though another haunted area.

Speaker 3:

And again, Josh, again, this is the thing. It's one of those places where Reese said she, her and her friends just randomly found it, randomly come across it. And this is what this podcast is about the gems of these the secrets of these small towns that no one normally knows about, right, only the locals, only the locals, and geocaches normally. So that's really cool. Going on to other museums that are in the town there's a train museum and aviation museum Reese. Have you been to any? Tell us about it. Have you been to those two?

Speaker 2:

I have.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, what did you think?

Speaker 2:

10 out of 10 would not recommend.

Speaker 3:

Oh, there you go. You hear it here first we're not dissing any of the places but you know, the aviation museum is not a museum.

Speaker 2:

It is four planes in a parking lot. I don't understand what qualifies it as a museum, but I remember me and my friend were like we're going to be adventurous, we're going to go and like find cool things in the town, and we show up. It's literally four planes in a parking lot and I'm just like this does not count.

Speaker 3:

Where that's in the town actually, is it?

Speaker 2:

I have no idea, I don't even remember. I blocked it out.

Speaker 3:

She's a racer from a memory. So that's the aviation. What about the other one, the train museum? I mean, if you're not a trainee, it is not even a museum.

Speaker 2:

It is literally a train that I feel like they just didn't want to move, and it has, like, a building next to it and then, they called it a museum.

Speaker 1:

I know I found a geocache on the train.

Speaker 3:

Of course this is geocache on the train. I am looking now and, yeah, at risk, you're right, it looks like a train that didn't want. It's an old school train. So if you're a train nerd and you love these old school trains, then maybe it's worth a photo or two. You don't know what I mean. Let's be honest.

Speaker 1:

Or if you're an airplane nerd, you might like those four planes.

Speaker 3:

Exactly, exactly. So you may like it, but if you're a 24 year old college student, probably not go to these things.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I don't get it personally, but do what makes you happy.

Speaker 3:

Exactly Do what makes you happy. Now, Reese, this is not on the show notes. I was looking around the map itself as well. Have you been to the disc golf course? That's there.

Speaker 2:

I actually have, but not for disc golf, for walking dogs. Yeah, same, same Some of my friends have dogs, and so Bowling Green actually has some amazing dog parks, because every single human being in that city owns a dog. So I've been to the dog park.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, that's really cool. Yeah, they just looked at the disc golf course as well and it looks really really nice too, the disc golf park there too. So, as you said, reese, and as we always say, there's these hidden gems throughout the whole town itself and they've got something for everyone when it comes to the trains, or the planes and the automobiles.

Speaker 1:

You know what, as I listened to Reese talk about Bowling Green, you know what makes me really think? It makes me think that, man, she's proud of her town. She's proud of her town. That is a damn rare thing these days.

Speaker 3:

Reese has no clue what you're talking about. She's looking at you with open eyes right now going what the hell dad like? Seriously, she knows. She knows, Reese. Do you know what he's talking about?

Speaker 2:

Here's the thing about my dad. My dad has so many catchphrases that we've just accepted as a part of our daily life. We might not know the genesis of this quotation, we might not know the root of it, but we accept it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and usually it's there from movies or shows. And we say them so often that my mother, reese's grandmother, calls myself, my dad, rerun. Yes, like that's our nickname, rerun.

Speaker 3:

It's rerun. Well, you would have watched this movie then Reese on Thanksgiving, I dare say with your father. If not, he would have been by himself. The trains planes and automobiles. It's one of his favorite all time movies and it's his favorite number one Thanksgiving movie, I do believe.

Speaker 2:

We did watch it and now I do. I do recall.

Speaker 1:

We watched it. Of course we watched it. We watched it every year, like you should.

Speaker 3:

Thank you so much, Reese. Anything else that you'd like to add in regards to Bowling Green in Kentucky?

Speaker 2:

I do have one little wrap up statement about Bowling Green in Kentucky. I think for a lot of the people who don't live in the South in the United States and actually even outside of the United States, there's this narrative about the South that isn't really completely true. It's not a whole truth, and there's this idea that the South is uneducated and full of tractors and bad food and bad people and it's just. It's simply not true.

Speaker 2:

Bowling Green is one of the most diverse places that I've lived. It has a huge international community. They have a rich culture in the South and a lot of really smart, intelligent, artful people, and so I think that a lot of the time, the South has kind of a bad rap for people who don't live in the South. And there are so many beautiful parts of our country and the South is one of them, and if you feel like, especially if you're a travel person and you have this idea of what certain places are, I would really encourage you to go there and break that stereotype that is in your mind, because there are so many people to experience, there's so many places to experience, there's so many different types of cultures to immerse yourself in, so the South can be a beautiful, great place to live and visit and you should go and support those places.

Speaker 3:

So well said, rhys, so well said and, yeah, absolutely true, and I do believe that too, coming from very, very South, so to speak. But yeah, in my travels across the US, like even New Jersey, people said to me you know, oh, you're moving to New Jersey. For instance, people have this misconception of places due to social media, due to media in general, due to other, even older cast of stereotypes. So, yes, very, very well said, very well said, rhys, you do have. I want you to shout out now a little bit of your place as well. I'm going to get links from you. What have you been up to in regards to your social media stuff? I see you, you've got a beautiful I must say, an absolutely gorgeous camera that I own one as well. That's why I love it. Yeah, so what have you been up to in regards to that? Where can people find you, rhys, if they need to, you know, reach out to you in regards to your filmmaking stuff as well.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. So I'm not going to say too much, because I do want to say that I'm in a season, I say, of building. I have some really, really big ideas and some really big dreams that I'm moving towards and I would love for people I'm not ready to share exactly what those things are, but I am here to say that I would love for people to follow me in the process. So you can follow me at Rhys the Rock Johnson on Instagram. Slash also fly off the wall video on Instagram. So those two things, but also I would like to shout out my little brother, jonah Johnson, who is really grinding it out. His Instagram is Jmotion Media, I believe.

Speaker 3:

So and, of course, all these links are going to be in the show notes as well. But, yeah, definitely, rhys, I follow you and I follow your brother and, to be honest with you, I'm exceptionally proud, like a father, of myself, I'm exceptionally proud of what you guys are doing. You know, and I can only just so I can actually see Josh's heart like literally fill up with joy as, as you go through your life and and build these things that you want to do, and build your own dreams and live you out your own dreams and life, which is really cool, josh, how proud of you, of you Rhys and Jonah and and oh, I nearly forgot your third child, hayden.

Speaker 2:

Hayden's coming up.

Speaker 1:

He's coming up. He's the younger one. Watch out for Hayden.

Speaker 2:

Johnson.

Speaker 3:

A hundred percent, he's more talented than any of us A hundred percent and I think Hayden, hayden, I believe personally this is just again. Correct me if I'm wrong but Hayden is going to be front of camera, not behind as much as what Rhys and Rhys and Jonah are more behind camera work, whereas Hayden's going to be front of camera work. Just saying it's a possibility. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

It's not only proud of my town.

Speaker 3:

Yes. Also proud of my kids, yeah, it's so good to say, so good to say mate, so good to say Now, josh, we can't do this show without our patreons themselves. You know, we're proud of our patreons as well.
