Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I'm about to taste test one of my souvenirs from, from Alabama. Oh, that's right, yeah, hey, hey, gave me some Bushwacker coffee. Bushwacker coffee, yeah, which is named after, like the Bushwacker drink, I believe, at the Bama, the floor of Bama.
Speaker 2:Oh, is it gonna be taste like the Bushwacker coffee?
Speaker 1:I don't know. We're gonna taste it right now.
Speaker 2:Because the Bushwacker drink was delicious. You sip up, sip up, sip up, josh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it smells. First of all, it smells like coconut. That makes sense because that's kind of what it tastes like.
Speaker 2:Yeah, here we go yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, that's tasty. Oh, you know what? What I bet you, they're really proud of their coffee down down there. They're proud of it. They're proud of their Bushwacker coffee. I'm gonna make this the start. Do you love to travel? Do you love road trips? Do you love finding hidden treasures in towns all over the USA?
Speaker 2:Hi, I'm Joshua and I'm Craig, welcome to Treasures of our Town, the podcast that explores unique and charming towns scattered throughout the United.
Speaker 1:States. Join us as we venture into some of the country's most intriguing destinations, uncovering hidden gems and local secrets along the way.
Speaker 2:On today's episode we're going part two. That's right, part one was last last episode, part two now of our time in Alabama and the Gulf shores and an orange count, our orange beach. Sorry, not orange county, orange beach Josh.
Speaker 1:We're going back to. Bama. Maybe that's what this, this episode, should be called. Back to Bama.
Speaker 2:That is a good title. Normally for you, josh, normally you have to wait a couple of weeks or whatever for you to actually work out a title, but you know.
Speaker 1:I know it's nice to get it right on the spot.
Speaker 2:Back to Bama. It is there you go. You hit it here. Live guys. You hit Josh. What have you been up to, mate? Since we spoke last, it was like what was it now Two weeks ago?
Speaker 1:It's two weeks. It's been two weeks since we've seen each other and it's not the same. It's not the same to just see you on a screen as it is to see you across a beautiful living room at our beautiful, beautiful cabin that we spent much time in in Bama Ram.
Speaker 3:Very, very true, very true.
Speaker 1:You know I've been back to real life. You have Back to real life Back to work, yeah, Editing some of the. Yeah, back to work, editing some of the footage of all the fun that we had in in Alabama, and so I don't have, I don't have a whole lot to report because I've been just kind of back to real life. However, you, you've, you've been, oh my gosh, nothing is normal in your life right now as you're traveling about.
Speaker 2:No well, last time we spoke, Josh, as you said, we were across the, the lounge room from each other and we'd look out the window and we saw that beautiful sort of lake area et cetera as well, with the, the pier going out and the beautiful serene. It was foggy as well in the morning. Right now I'm I'm looking at Bass Pro Shop in a parking lot. So there you go my window. I'm currently located right on the border. Because I love borders, you know that I brought on the border of Tennessee and Virginia. So there you go.
Speaker 1:That's right in right now You're heading, heading back north, and northeast as well.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So since we spoke, josh, I have driven through into Texas. I then flew from Texas to California for a big, big Munzie weekend events Josh, rob from Munzie, and Lou, his lovely wife as well. They hosted me over there in California. I got to walk up behind the Hollywood sign as well, cause you can walk up.
Speaker 1:I'm so jealous. It's really really cool. I can't believe we didn't do that last year when we were there, but we didn't have time?
Speaker 2:We didn't have time. There was just so much and no, that like it's. It's a bit of a hidden path, Like it's a very secret way to go up there, but anyway.
Speaker 1:My understanding, though, is that there's a Munzie that tells you where to where the secret gate is. There is.
Speaker 2:Absolutely is. There's a Munzie that tells you this is the secret gate. So there you go.
Speaker 1:Is that what it's called? Is it? Did Rob name it the secret gate? Yes, oh funny. Yeah so there's a tip for you If you want to go to the Hollywood sign, download Munzie, find the Munzie that says behind the secret gate, and get there.
Speaker 2:Exactly, exactly, but and it's not, it's a bit of a walk, okay, it's a bit of a hill too. It's about half an hour walk up to the top. But I'm telling you, josh, it is 100% worth it. And you know, you know, rob, he's got his other YouTube channel as well beer snob Rob, cause he loves to rate beers. Josh, we took up a beer and shared a beer together at the top in the morning. It was too so, it was lovely. I love that. Just after sunrise.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's so cool. I have FOMO. I'm so jealous. I could have came along, but gosh, for me two, two weekends in a row. I don't know if I could have swung that one.
Speaker 2:I know, I know, even even our Airbnb, josh, our Airbnb. It had every vantage point that you could see from the Airbnb. Just overlooked the Hollywood sign, like it was right there. You almost touch it.
Speaker 1:I saw pictures. Yeah, I also saw that it had a billiards table as well. We could have played cutthroat. I wanted to play cutthroat, so bad in Alabama.
Speaker 2:You did. So that's what I've been up to. And oh, one other thing. And I lost my voice. So lucky we had to record this a little bit later, because I lost my voice. Where did I lose my voice? I lost it in the Viper room in Hollywood. Oh my gosh, that's so cool. You know much about the Viper room, josh. Not many people do know about the Viper room.
Speaker 1:It's a music venue, right yeah?
Speaker 2:it is, yeah, but like underground dirty dungeness, a lot of history, a lot of rock history, et cetera, there as well. So River Phoenix, that's where he died. Oh, wow, yeah, yeah. That's where two other famous people I can't think actually one of us was Australian that's where they overdosed as well. Oh, wow, yeah, yeah, it was in there and actual fact, they told us as we walked in, because it's all old school, rob and I were, you know, the 40s, and we were the youngest there, josh, the youngest there, really.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah. So it hasn't old school, it hasn't really gone with the times, where, like it's just like it's kind of aging a bit.
Speaker 2:The crowd is aging. The crowd is aging along with the venue, exactly right.
Speaker 1:That's very interesting, Because that is not what is happening. To like First Avenue, which is the most popular music venue in Minneapolis, where you know where Prince Prince's Purple Rain was, was, was filmed, it still has young people.
Speaker 2:No no, not the VIP room mate, not the VIP room Interesting Even the bands themselves. The bands are all in their 50s, the band players. And there was one guy there was a special special guest because apparently he's and he's really quite big in Hollywood. He was playing guitar and sung backup as well. He only did two songs because he's 87 years of age and he's still on in Hollywood playing the guitar on live on stage. Man, that is incredible, absolutely incredible.
Speaker 1:Well, that sounds really cool, yes, but now you're back, you're you're heading up to the Midwest. You'll be probably go through the Midwest, not really. You're going to go up through Virginia.
Speaker 2:West Virginia, Pennsylvania, back to Jersey, and then I'll come Midwest after that.
Speaker 1:So yeah, but the plan is to come to Midwest next, as we have a mania coming out in May, correct?
Speaker 2:Correct, exactly right, so I'll be. I'll be there for that. In May, guaranteed 100% mate. I'll be there for that. So.
Speaker 1:I'll have to be ready. I'll have to be ready to show you some of the sites again that I missed the first time around.
Speaker 2:And then after that I'll be heading a bit further West and going down Wyoming through to, um uh, geo Woodstock which we might have.
Speaker 1:We might have some news about Geo Woodstock soon. It hasn't been confirmed, but something exciting myself and Craig will be there.
Speaker 2:That's for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, 100% in flag staff, and this the memorial day weekend of May Exactly. But we got to talk about Alabama. It was a show that had so much stuff that we couldn't fit it into one show, so we had part two of our experience in the golf shores of Alabama. Um, Craig, do you want to just like review? I would suggest, if you if you haven't listened you should listen to the first episode. Just stop right now, go back and listen to the first episode. But maybe, Craig, we can review a little bit of what we talked about.
Speaker 2:Well, a quick review is that you flew into Pensacola in Alabama. I picked you up. You got your first geocache in Alabama ever on the actual sign saying sweet home Alabama as well, and that was at the floor of Alabama location down on the peninsula.
Speaker 1:So you got that three times at three different visits.
Speaker 2:I really like that place. We get back to the last visit, I think, was the best to be honest with you, even though, oh yeah, even though the second one was good with the geocaching event that I think the uh, the last one, which we speak to about at the end of this episode itself, is the best to be honest with you, um.
Speaker 2:And then after that we booked into our cabins at the golf shore. This is a beautiful place to stay, yeah, gorgeous uh, in golf shores in Orange Beach and again, shout out to Kay as well, she organized that for us as well from the orange beach tourism and we'll talk a little bit more about that in this episode too.
Speaker 1:Yes, we will we will.
Speaker 2:And then we moved into Thursday. We we spoke about the uh, the, the bikes, the push bike hire Josh, remember the push bike?
Speaker 1:hire yes, at the golf shore state park, the geocaching wonderland, perfect for a geocaching vacation.
Speaker 2:It is absolutely. Then we went to flora Bama for the second visit, for the scavenger hunt as well. Uh, we did a lot of high-favorited geocaches as well, which they will be seen over the next I'm going to say six to 12 months on your Tiktok and YouTube In short I have.
Speaker 1:I have 30 days of shorts in the hopper and I still haven't got all the shorts out for my last trip to Gilby in October, so so I have 30 days of shorts. You're going to see more detailed videos of that on Tiktok and Instagram and um and also YouTube, um, but also you'll see high level. You can go right now to my YouTube channel. Right now You'll see high level. We have two really great, well edited highlight videos of this whole trip. So it'll be in the in the links the links in this episode.
Speaker 2:Of course. Of course, now, that was. That was great videos, josh, too they were. They were lots and lots of fun and, uh, as editing goes, you'll find that, uh, I, I, josh, I filmed over an hour and 25 minutes worth of footage and I managed to edit it down to two sort of, you know, 10 to 12 minute episodes.
Speaker 1:There you go, well done. That should tell you how much stuff that we felt worthy was worthy of being filmed, you know so. It just tells you how much sites and and um sounds that there were to capture there.
Speaker 2:We went to the swagger art design studio as well. Then we had the the Cove bar and grill the staff. The stuffed avocado was delicious, that was, and then we actually had. My favorite part of the whole trip, josh, was actually the geo break Number one, which is the uh the track family amusement park, where literally I watched you spin out in front of me like not once, twice, three, but 15 times spinning out in front of me.
Speaker 2:That was loads of fun. I love a good go cart. And then we ended that that day itself and that's only on the Thursday, only at the bonfire, with the actual GAC and community of, uh, that area, the golf shores. They are a great community too. The two laurels.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So then we ended the night at a night with more seafood.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's right, we did too, I'm, but I was a Tim, but anyway, yeah, you know what they always see.
Speaker 1:say don't get seafood unless you're can see the sea. That's true, that's true.
Speaker 2:I'm on a seafood diet at the moment, josh. I just see food and eat it. Just say.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 2:Anyway, moving on, what else did we get up to? This is now brand new. Uh, this we've moved into the Friday session now as well for the for the four days.
Speaker 1:We woke up Friday morning and I just so appreciate traveling with you and Tim, because you know, this is just a tip, like have people that you travel with, just be flexible. And you guys are kind of we're always looking to me like what are we gonna do? And I kind of lay out well, I think we should maybe do this, this and this, and you guys great. Yeah, you guys are so easy going. And so I thought there were so many caches, so many geocaches with high favorite points that we had to check out. I mean, after all, it was a geocaching trip. After all, our mission was to highlight geocaching in the golf shores and let me just say it did not disappoint.
Speaker 1:As I said in the last episode, the state park that we were in, just there, we were having power trails and if you don't know what power trails is, it's just geocache after geocache on bike trails, really accessible, where you get those higher bikes. I would say did you catch that? I did. I said higher bike, higher bike. I know I didn't say higher push bike, but hey, I'm learning, I'm learning to speak Australian Crocky, I would say in the state park there were probably well over 200 geocaches just in this state park alone, I should tell you how big the state park is. But throughout the golf shores, the actual golf shores, proper Orange Beach, and there's another city there. Can you remind me of the others? It's like three cities. Well, there was also little towns a little bit to the north.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1:And actually the main event was in a little town to the north. So, we just hit up several geocaches, mostly gadget caches. Craig, are there any caches that we found that really like in your brain? It's been two weeks. I'm putting you on the spot here. That really stood out to you. That is like wow, unique, I've never seen that before. Anything that you're like well, that's really interesting.
Speaker 2:There was a couple, josh, that stood out to me, but they stood out to me because it was again for me, josh, it's always been more about the experience than the actual hide or the cash container, et cetera, and the experience was enhanced for me through you, basically, and through them as well, but through you. Now, josh. We said this last episode that a lot of these were inspired birdhouses et cetera from Germany and your videos in Germany. There was lots of those, but my favorite part of the whole trip I will say this was, several times and several occasions, you, josh, you were looking around and you were stumped, and you were looking around the bird box and you were going that's a fake hinge, that's the first thing you look for and you're trying to teach me how to do it All the while I'm thinking to myself Josh, you found one exactly like this before in Germany.
Speaker 2:I know you just have to twist it upside down and you're like, oh, that's right, I found one like this in Germany. So watching the penny drop in your mind as you did it for me, that was my favorite part of the entire trip, mate, to be honest with you.
Speaker 1:Well, what I really appreciate? People that see some of my videos and take ideas from my videos, but I love how they put their own spin on it. It's one thing, craig, to say, oh, I've seen this before, but it's another thing to actually look at a bird box or geocache and not realize that it is something that I have done before, but they've put their own little twist on it to make it a little bit different. And it makes me question. I don't know if I ever have seen this before. And then, after I figure out the solution, I'm just like, oh, I've seen a similar concept to this.
Speaker 1:So it's a testament to, I think, geocaching video content, which, when I started doing it 13 years ago, there was a lot more people out there, a little bit more of an old school mentality where they were really worried about spoilers. And just to know that most of the places that I've gone to film geocaches, there are places that a lot of people, like a huge percentage of people, will never get to. So the fact that somebody takes an idea that they see on one of my videos and puts it in their own community, it spreads the joy of geocaching so much wider, and so to see that actually happen before my eyes when we were finding many of these geocaches and, let's be honest, there were some really original ideas out there.
Speaker 2:They really were.
Speaker 1:So yeah, that's just really cool. So, a couple that stood out to me. So San Marcus, our buddy. He's our buddy. Yeah, yeah, he is. He's probably listening. San Marcus, he is the guy that was sort of heading up all of the Bama Ram events. He self confesses I'm not really a gadget cash builder, which is totally fine, but he's taken some concepts and did really creative things that I've never seen before. Like his type of geocaches are the ones that you open and you just get a good chuckle.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, and I know the one you're going to talk about too, I think.
Speaker 1:Well, there's a couple of them. One was like a jump scare, so there's a video of a typical light pole cash and you open up.
Speaker 1:It's like a little ammo box. And you open up and a little spider camp comes out and scares you. And it's so funny that video went semi viral on TikTok and people are saying in the comments I dropped my phone, I jumped Like it's making other people jump, which is really funny. Good job, san Marcus. You not only scared me but scared TikTok. But there's one. So if you're listening to this and you're not a geocacher, you might not get this. But a lot of people sometimes critique small geocaches, especially if they're in pill bottles Like it looks like it could be a mistake. They're like, oh it could be, it could be mistaken for drugs, drugs.
Speaker 2:I know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a good place to hide your drugs.
Speaker 2:That's what people it's a drug drop. It's a drug drop.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, what is this? A drug dropping?
Speaker 2:activity yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:So you open up one of his geocaches, which is in a pill bottle, and what's inside of it? But little pill capsules.
Speaker 2:Yeah, actual little capsules themselves. And if people don't know out there in terms of geocaching land to actually find the geocache, you can find it with your eyes, but you must sign a logbook. And so you then had to open up all these capsules, Josh, because there was only one logbook in one of the capsules. So that's the fun in it too, you see. So that was the whole, that's the geocaching fun. It's like, wow, this is excitement, All these pills. Now what do I do? I've got to sign the logbook. Where's the logbook? And so you've got to find the logbook.
Speaker 1:So we found this pill geocache on a sign and we were like, ok, I wanted to film it. And, by the way, I'm just waiting for, when I put this out on social media, especially on TikTok, for my video and my channel to get banned Because I'm showing how to drop drugs. I'm almost tempted not to put it in the lab. You're worried, josh, you're scared? Well, tiktok doesn't give you the options to warn people. Like if I put it on YouTube, I can click the drug use.
Speaker 3:There's a box you can check.
Speaker 1:And then you're at least warning them that there's some sort of. It could be misconstrued as blah, blah, blah. Anyway, I don't know, I'm worried about putting it up. Here's the funny thing Right next to where the geocache was, there was a church and we're like let's film it over by this church. It was a gazebo, it was the church. So there's three guys going through drugs in a church gazebo.
Speaker 2:Yep, opening up these little capsules and just to try and find a piece of paper A piece of paper after all, that that's all we're after, so I know. And then we're all giggling like school girls after we found it too. So let's think of that as put that in the equation as well. Three or four, including Tim grown men giggling like school girls going through these capsules themselves under a gazebo of a church. That's just yeah. You can't get any better than that, josh. You can't.
Speaker 1:It was funny, I found a lot. We've both found over 10,000 gashes.
Speaker 3:I'm almost 8,000.
Speaker 1:And I've never seen anything like that. I've seen that style Like open up the Easter egg or open up all the Altoids tins, but I've never seen open up the exedron, the portal.
Speaker 2:Exactly exactly. Well, just after all that geocache and we were quite hungry, oh my gosh. And we got told One of our patrons Josh, one of our patrons, great cashers, A big shout out to you, Thank you so much Told us about this lunch place that we should visit. And we did. And again, it did not diss our point. Let's just say the name of this place first by itself. Go, the name is just great.
Speaker 1:What's the name? The Wacked Out Weiner GIGGLE.
Speaker 2:And as you go in, josh, you know how places like I know, bucky's for instance, you have the gas stations. As you walk in they go welcome to Bucky's. You know everyone screams out. As you walk in they scream out a welcome. There's happens in a lot of places in the US. In this place here, you walked in and they said get your wiener out and we'll whack it. You know like wow, ok, that's, that was, that was a greeting. That was a greeting as you walked in.
Speaker 2:Oh, I don't remember that, but that's you're too busy looking because you know what? I don't remember, guys, just to let you know. Now, visual, this Joshua walks in, he screams this you know, welcome to Wacked Out Weiner, whatever it was. And but, josh, your eyes went directly, directly. They had a selfie booth there with like an actual big weiner's dress. Weiner's, and they're not one, two or three, but they had like five weiner's, so the whole family can get dressed up as weiner's and get photos in this photo booth area. And it wasn't just a photo booth, josh, it was a photo wall, you know right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was cool, and let's back up a second. We haven't actually said, if you can't tell, it was a hot dog place.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, hot dog place. Yeah, of course Americans, they call their hot dogs weiner's.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love myself a good hot dog. I think I had three Chicago dogs. You could get all kinds of different types of weiners. It was like you know. It's like you know they have like subway or Chipotle where you can like you know you can you get a sandwich and you can like customize it. Well, that's how it was. It was a hot dog place that you could customize it however you wanted.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we were with the stock standard. So not the stock standard I'm talking about, we went with the options, what they told us, sort of things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they had suggestions, so I got a Chicago dog. Did you get a chili? Chili dogs? What?
Speaker 2:No, no, no, I got I think I got a Floridian dog, because mine actually had mac and cheese on it as well as bacon. So, yeah, that's what I mean. That's the mac and cheese on a hot dog. That got me, that hooked me. I want to go back.
Speaker 1:And we have pictures. If I think, if you go on the gosh, I put it actually, I put it as a story. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to put the Wacked Out Wiener photos. I'll actually put all the behind the scenes photos we don't talk about no, we don't talk about our Instagram very much, no. So, treasures of our town Instagram, I will put a photo set up so you can look and see, because we the picture of us in our Wiener costumes or high costumes, priceless and Tim joined in as well, don't forget, you joined as well, and and Tim's like six foot two, so he was, he's, the biggest winner out of the three of us.
Speaker 2:Let's just be honest. But good old Neil yes, neil, that's an inside joke. Yeah, so that was delicious, absolutely delicious. But I will say this they do have available, like you can have a sides available with it too, and they have all different sides where you can have a bag of chips. So I had, I had the chili, josh, and maybe I shouldn't have had chili just.
Speaker 1:Well, I had. I had baked beans, so maybe I shouldn't have had that, if you get my drift. Exactly, exactly, and the gas was flowing OK. Then we had a north, we had a north and Craig.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:I was so, I was so proud of you. You hosted the only Munze event in the world on that weekend.
Speaker 2:On that weekend, exactly right Now, josh, we headed north to a little, not a little town, but a town called Foley. It was, that's right, that's that's the town north is in Foley. It was a dog park. Now, it had been raining as well. Now, if you've never been to a Munze event, very different, don't you think, josh? A Munze event is very different to a geocaching.
Speaker 1:Yes, they, they're very Munze. Events are very focused on playing the game during the event. Mostly usually especially where geocaching events. Geocaching events are a little bit more like we're taking a break from playing the game and we're going to talk to each other.
Speaker 2:Yeah typically, typically, but the difference is because Munze itself, you can be sitting, sitting down at a Munze event and having cards literally virtually placed on your head, and so you must cap all these cards that are coming through. So that's the reason for it as well. But we we then go for a little walk around the sort of dog park area with umbrellas out because it was raining, but that didn't stop us. I had 10 people in total there, josh, which is which is not too bad for a Munze event.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, that doesn't seem like. You know, if you're a geocacher, that doesn't seem like a whole lot. But but the fact, you know it was a little bit, a little bit impromptu. We hadn't, you know, it didn't get posted till a couple of weeks before the event. Yeah, and it seems like this area, you know, there's pockets of areas in the world that are really like Munze, saturated. This is a little bit, I would say, Munze right now. It's a little bit, I'd say it's not a how do I say it Not a whole lot of players many players in the city Light will call it Munze light.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think geocaching is is the predominant OK, prominent, location based game, but it was great that we had San Marcos the person who led the whole event, I know Show up. He was like I'm going to check this out, I'm going to redownload the app and we enjoyed educating him on it and all the changes and all the things about it. So that was. It was great. It was a bummer, that was raining, but you know what? We still did it, we. We got a badge.
Speaker 2:Still got badges, still got kike, still got all the good things as well. And Joshua will say this, and that is. There's not that many players. There's a lot of players out there, more players out there that we call co exists. In other words, they play geocaching and they play Munze. So there's a lot of us out there that do that, but A lot of them. Josh, a secret Munzi is because they don't, they don't really they go.
Speaker 2:Oh, I just play on the side, you know whatever, but they're not as vocal as you and I and they don't really turn up to events. So there was about I'm gonna say it was gonna be a fort or five other Munzi players that were capping Munzi's around the area. But yeah, she turned up to the event.
Speaker 1:So well, they were probably very focused on geocaching and Most people are traveling with other people that probably are not Munzi players. So this is like I can't really Ask my crew to go to a Munzi event when they don't even play it, you know. So I think, you know, I think that's that was happen, but it was. It brought a little bit of geolocation variety.
Speaker 1:Exactly and variety is a spice of life, yeah, yeah, and actually I broke away while you guys were setting up the little flags. If you don't know, if you've ever been to a geocache or a Munzi event, you set up these little like flags with QR code so you can do like a bunch in the park for the event and I was like I was like I'm gonna go here over here and find a geocache. I couldn't buy the geocache but then I just escaped and I walked the whole downtown of Foley and I did it like Probably 10 of venture labs.
Speaker 2:I just thought you did, I thought you did, but mind you, I will. I will say before you even arrived that night, before you arrived, I actually did those adventure labs myself.
Speaker 1:So yeah, there you go. I didn't miss out, I didn't miss out. It must be nice to have your job be just like one big game, whoa.
Speaker 2:It's not one, it's two years.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it must be nice to have your job be two games.
Speaker 2:Technically Josh adventure labs and geocache. I mean they are games. There we go, there we go my life in the entire game load up Pokemon go.
Speaker 1:You know what we should? We should have a whole show. Hmm, equal opportunity, craig. Yeah, we should have a whole show about Pokemon go and bring on a Pokemon go like, like a power player.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we should, even though, because it'd be good, because I'd had a questions from a non-Pokemon go player. You see, an old Pokemon go player should say right, because a lot is.
Speaker 1:You know Pokemon go is the game has grown a lot, just like Munzee changes and stuff like that. Yeah and I just be curious like is there any? Is it all about gameplay or is it like a lot of location-based games? Does it really bring you to some places that you wouldn't go otherwise? And I would argue probably yes, and I would love. Yeah, I would love and I would love to bring on a younger person, like somebody in their 20s, at place.
Speaker 2:So, and not not just your relatives.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if you're listening. If you're listening, you're. You consider yourself a power Pokemon go player, and what I mean by that. You do, you do like Pokemon go fast and stuff like that. We would love to talk to you, so reach out to us. At Trish's about to have a podcast at gmailcom.
Speaker 2:There you go. So after the Munzee world again, josh. We talk about how geocaching, location-based games, takes us to unique spots on locations. This one here was extremely Extremely unique.
Speaker 1:I'll say that this was so fun.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so we also the same first, before you go for it, go for it. So obviously, josh had all the the high, highly favorite of jacash is downloaded, ready to go, so and we're doing it on, you know, in order as we go along. So the next one itself was like a pirate sort of theme. That was pretty cool. It was like captain crazy or whatever. So, josh, it all it should be here, and we looked. It was like a Strip more as such. So we parked in the strip more and we're looking for it. Couldn't find it.
Speaker 2:The guy comes out from the shop and he looked like a captain crazy himself and he said if you're looking for the jacash, I've put it inside. So we walk inside, we work, ever it worked. We walked inside and it worked because we didn't know what the inside was, josh, we had no clue and we saw the cash. But your eyes and your ears heard the noise, think, think, think. And I thought to myself oh, here we go, because your face just lit up like a pinball machine, because it was a pinball power.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, there were probably I Don't know I'd say there were over 20 Pinball machines. Oh well, I lined up, yeah. Yeah yeah, maybe more of old-school school, new school, and then, of course, we had amongst it our old school arcade. They had a wall you know like. Have you ever gone? Have you ever gone to like a golf simulator place where, you like, you, hit the golf balls against like a sheet and then, and then it's projected or whatever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they had those kind of like booths areas, screens, but they had attached to an old school like Nintendo. My favorite Nintendo game of all time was connected to it Mike Tyson's punch out.
Speaker 2:So like, like life size. I didn't know that was your favorite all the time. But make sense now, because I'll tell you people that he said like it was $10 each person for an hour's play, which is a great pricing, absolutely fantastic pricing. So Josh literally just takes off, he goes. We're staying here for at least an hour. So he takes off and goes in. So then Tim and I pay and then, and then we had to get these wristbands and the guy looks at us, goes where's the other guy? We'd lost Josh. We're like, oh, and I said, I said to the guy he's heard the music, he's heard the sounds, he's, he's addicted to it, so off, his in there.
Speaker 2:So the guy actually came into the, the pinball parlor arcade area to find Josh. Where was he dancing and boxing in front of this Mike Tyson boxing match. And he's like Craig Craig, craig, craig. You said Craig three or four times to me, like get this one, get this on camera, get this on film, look at this. Oh, oh, oh, do the hero shot? Go around me, go around me, go around me. And so here I show you. And this guy, this guy, single self, all I want to do is put this wristband on his wrist to say what time he can stay here till, but here he is, he won't stop moving. So you were like one of those kids you really went to, to your childhood, josh, I do believe.
Speaker 1:I didn't need a stinkin wristband to play Mike Tyson's punch out. I was all in it. I did pay, I did pay. But I was like here's my 10 bucks, Bye.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you literally threw your $10 at him and then like here's my 10 bucks.
Speaker 1:Here's my 10 bucks. My hour starts now.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you bolted in. So, josh, I'll tell you, though, to watch you smile on your face and the joy in your eyes and the gleam, I can now see what your parents saw, you know, when you were 10, 12 years of age, et cetera, and you know, having so much fun and from, from, from. Yeah, from a parent's point of view, mate, I saw you as your childhood. I went you know what this?
Speaker 1:this kid had a really good childhood, so Well, the funny thing is I love what you're saying, but one of the things reasons I was so excited about pinball and the reasons I love pinball is I spent a lot of times in my childhood in a bar, as my parents my parents, you know had a rough day at work. They said that the bars you know having a few, and I'm there just hanging out and I'm playing pinball. There you go.
Speaker 2:So guess what, what? I don't know if you remember it or not, but we actually did an audio clip too, from inside the craziest place. So let's just, let's just actually cut to that right now, shall we?
Speaker 1:Perfect, I know right, it's so good. You know the places that geocaching brings you.
Speaker 2:We are at a place where we just found a geocache you didn't know existed, though, let's be honest, because you know this place existed, josh. No, you would have been here much much earlier and for the entire day.
Speaker 1:It's really nice in here. We're in Captain Crazy's Paradise, which is, of course, a retro arcade, and it's part of in Foley here in Alabama.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Foley, alabama, and they actually had. I just saw they just had a geocaching event here last Sunday.
Speaker 2:Oh, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they had an event here last Sunday and there's a geocache hidden inside Captain Crazy's Paradise, which we've already obtained, which we got it. It was a really fun Gadget cash, yes, but the thing that really drew me in here was the pinball.
Speaker 2:I know you heard the ding, ding, ding, ding. You heard the flippers, josh, and your little ease, little, popped up and your hands snapped off your neck and you switched around and you're like, how much, how much, to play Only $10 for an hour.
Speaker 1:For an hour $10 for an hour $25 all day. I could spend a whole day here. That's what I said before. But it's not just me and you. We have somebody else with us now. Minnesota boy. Yeah, you know what that means when we're at a place that's like an arcade. We've done Axe Rowan in Owensboro. We've done mini golf. We've done lots of different competitions, Tim and I bowling, bowling foosball. It's time Pinball For a pinball competition. We're putting Munzie Zeds on the line.
Speaker 2:We are Tim. Are you a wizard, Are you a pinball?
Speaker 1:wizard, I am not a pinball wizard. I played a little bit when I was a young child In a bar when my parents were having a little after work drinks and I played a little bit of pinball. But, we're going to play a pinball machine.
Speaker 2:Which one are we going?
Speaker 1:to play One that we've not touched yet we make it fair.
Speaker 2:None of us have played it. We're playing Deadpool, deadpool. How do you win at Deadpool? How do you play this?
Speaker 1:I don't know I've never played it but the person that gets the most points is winning all the Zeds, all the Zeds, so a thousand Zeds in total, which is about $10.
Speaker 2:All right, so 500 Zeds off each other person, so there you go, we're going to come back to you in about 10 minutes.
Speaker 1:Here we go. He's a pinball wizard. It's got to be it, something.
Speaker 2:I was waiting for the song to come out. Oh, you've got the spot, you've got the little sweet spot. So just to let you know, right as we're going along now and we'll play it too which is Josh, he's stepping up. So Tim's now done three balls at six and a half million, craig's done two balls at five and a half million and Josh has done two balls at 29 million. 29 million.
Speaker 2:So you can tell Set up. You can 100% tell whose idea this was to play for Zeds at this location. It was not Craig, you can't. And it was not Tim. I've never played this game in my life. You don't need to play the games. You know how to play pinball, josh. I'm going to second. But second place is the first loser, which is fine 500 Zeds if you're a Munzie player, don't forget. You can get your Zeds. It's pretty cheap if from Space Coast Gears store, or with your cruisies as well, if you're a cruisy member. You can get them cheaper that way.
Speaker 1:So I'm so happy Now I can finally do the secret Zups. Oh, you're welcome Give them, the final scores, craig. Oh, we need the final scores. You don't even know how much.
Speaker 2:Tim, with a score of 6,437,060 points. Craig on 14 million and 97,850 points. Josh, over double my score with 32,888,620 points.
Speaker 1:I would like to thank you guys for the friendly competition. Winner winner chicken dinner.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and you did. You did again 500 Z's each from Tim and I Wow, which is only five bucks. It's only five bucks, but still.
Speaker 1:But I won 10 bucks.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know. So really you won what you paid to go in there in the first place, so you did it all for free.
Speaker 1:I got it all for free and I guess I might have. I didn't intentionally hustle, but maybe I didn't share with you my experience playing pinball as a child. I don't think so.
Speaker 2:Although I should have known, because I was doing more of recording than playing and I watched you and the way you were moving. You, you move your hips, josh. You kind of a little bit like what's his name? Not Patrick Swayze, but more of a more of Elvis sort of style as you, as you hit those pins, and the flippers go side to side. Literally your shoulders move and your hips move in the other direction. At the same time you balance yourself out as you as you hit the flippers. So your body is always in fully balanced sequence.
Speaker 2:So I thought to myself this guy, I should have known this guy can play.
Speaker 1:So yeah, I'm a little bit of a pinball wizard. He's got to be. That place was awesome. I love that place. Put my sticker that. Here's the thing that's funny about. I'm so glad I brought my. I brought my geocaching vlogger stickers. I brought the treasures of our town stickers. Everywhere you go. People just stuck stickers places. Yeah there was stuck my sticker on the wall and let's just say it again, shout out yeah, go if you're in golf shores and this is fully just north of there, captain, crazy's paradise.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was the name of the place, but again it was really dark and the front of the windows were all blackened out, so you couldn't really tell unless you Google it and go there. Then you or you're a geocacher and you want to do the cash there. That's a different story too. So that was the pinball parlor, josh. After that we did a few more caches, but we headed to a pirate event.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this was when people really all came out in pirate gear and and. I'll be, I'll be real. We got a little distracted by Captain crazy's paradise. Josh showed up late.
Speaker 2:Josh, who got? Who got distracted? Don't say I got distracted. There you go.
Speaker 1:You played the full hour to. I know you were enjoying yourself just as much. I was doing a lot of video work. Yeah, that's true, you were. Yeah, I was OK, we were late. We were late to the pirate event and it was a really cool location Like this roadhouse. This bar was on the, on the like the water, and this is a place this bar I really kind of. This is a regret. I really wish we would have spent more time there and been there longer, because it was like this, it was kind of a rustic roadhouse. It's a place where a bunch of pirates would hang out.
Speaker 2:Oh, 100 percent. It was very pirate themed as well. And don't forget, there's actually a geocache in the bar, like that was cool. The wall is a geocache hanging on the wall that when you open it up, it's a pirate theme. There's a mannequin head in there with a with an eye patch, etc. There was lots of skeletons, josh, but one of my favorite skeletons I did see hanging up on the as you walk in were two mermaid skeletons. Did you see that? You shook hands with one of them? They had the tail, they had the, the whole thing, and they would look like real, actual skeletons. So you know, it's extremely. They had the fishnets everywhere. They had like plastic fish and they had like we call them in Australia, we call them boys, you call them buoys. They had them hanging around as well. So, yeah, extremely pirate themed. It was awesome. There was a few pirates still left at the event when, even when we got their why? So at this event, josh, they had again hosting these side events that they did before the big event itself was fantastic.
Speaker 2:They did it 10 days beforehand, 10 days of events before, and leaning up to that's that's so many that's so many, and they're all different things, so this one was more pirate themed, but this one actually gave out prices for the best dressed female pirate, best dressed male pirate and Josh, my favorite, the drunken pirate. Yes, they gave out an award for the most drunken pirate there.
Speaker 1:I don't know if we ran into that person. We did, we did. Ok, we'll have to talk about that off air.
Speaker 2:Well, I think she did one of your favorite caches to this. So that Jay Jay Birch. So OK, yes, she was there as well.
Speaker 1:So that was yeah, and if you go to Bama Ramah next year, which you should you should.
Speaker 1:I here's my recommendation is that you show up when it starts or before, because it seems to me, Craig, that people kind of go in, do their thing, they go hard at the event from the start to whatever, and then you know if the event since it's 430 to 630, and you think that you're showing up at six in the full like swing everything you're going to miss. You're going to miss some stuff, yeah, Show up. You got to show up when it starts. Don't think that it's like it's not like an open house where I can show up anytime and have the same experience. No, I would suggest that you start. That was just a part of their, I think, geocaching culture. That I wasn't, I didn't know.
Speaker 2:And I think as well, the main reason for it, josh, I'll be honest, is that the demographic of geocaches are sort of, you know, we're in the, we're on the younger side of the demographic and knowing what we know in terms of how many people show up on time for parties, the younger ones, young, young, they show up late. The older ones, they show up on time or early, so you know. So it just gets to show that that's the reason for it is because the demographic geocaches so you want to be on time for these events.
Speaker 1:That you do if you do, you do.
Speaker 2:So that hard event was we're quite hungry Again, famished. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1:Another place because we were like searching places to go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I'll tell you now this place, this next place was also told to me personally by another one of our patrons.
Speaker 1:Tivia. I love the patrons. Thank you, they put out a Tivia.
Speaker 2:Yeah, tivia told me about this Lambets Cafe. This is the day before you arrived. She told me about this Lambets Cafe and she said you know, if ever you guys are free. And I said, look, I'm going to have to talk to Josh when we are free, etc. Because, again, I didn't realize. But yeah, then you picked out this Lambets Cafe and they have thrown rolls Josh the home of the throne Rolls.
Speaker 2:What's that? Is that like a throne that's been knighted and is a king and queen of thrones, king of Queen of Rolls? They're on a throne. What's the throne?
Speaker 1:Oh, they throw, they throw just baked hot rolls, two of you. They actually chuck, chuck them, chuck them from a distance, from afar. From like across the room and you catch them.
Speaker 2:Well, josh, we also did an audio clip as well from the Lambets. We did, we did an audio clip from Lambets Cafe.
Speaker 1:Oh, let's listen to it.
Speaker 2:You know, no, no, no, no. We won't listen to it, Josh, we're going to throw to Lambets Cafe.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's throw it over there to the Lambets Cafe. Whoa man, I think we just had our best meal in the golf shores.
Speaker 2:Would you call this a restaurant, Josh? Where actually are we?
Speaker 1:We're actually at a cafe, yes, but it's also a restaurant. Yeah, it's Lambets Cafe, tim Minnesota boys here with us still. And you said. You said that you've heard of this place before. I've heard online, but I didn't know it was down here. But when I saw the sign with the Throad Rolls, throad Rolls, what is Throad Rolls? I was like I don't know what that means. Do they throw them before they cook them, I don't know what or bake them? Tell us, tell us, what's Throad Rolls. But now you know, I do know. Now they come out. They come out and they just say hot rolls, yeah, yeah. And then you put your hand up and it got to whip it to you across the room. Did you get whipped with a hot roll? Yes, several times. I caught three of them. I dropped one. It wasn't my fault.
Speaker 2:It never is. It was a say.
Speaker 1:It would have been a great say. It was very low.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you caught yours, tim, as well. I only had one, but I caught my one. And you know what, tim, I was happy with catching just the one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, one for one, we are.
Speaker 2:One for one. We're happy with that.
Speaker 1:I'm going to put a highlight reel of the caught rolls on my TikTok.
Speaker 2:But anyway, they caught the Throad Rolls at just one part of this experience.
Speaker 1:They also have the shareables, and they just keep walking around and offering you more food, like potatoes and vegetables.
Speaker 2:They've been silver buckets.
Speaker 1:Yeah, black-eyed peas, and every time the black-eyed peas came around I went. I got a feeling, of course, get us in Tonight's gonna be my favorite tomato.
Speaker 2:No, thank you.
Speaker 3:There we go See.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we just got offered macaroni and tomato.
Speaker 1:Yep, but we're full. I had the chicken fried steak. Oh my gosh, it was so tasty and guess what I got out of here. My total bill for pretty much unlimited food was $23. And that's unlimited drink as well.
Speaker 2:We had like a gallon of soda.
Speaker 1:It's like a big gulp.
Speaker 2:Big gulp of soda. So yeah, if you're in the golf shores area or actually Foley, I think we're at more Foley than golf shores in Alabama. You need to get here to Lambet's Cafe for the Throad Rolls.
Speaker 1:Absolutely yeah, I like the exact. Oh my gosh, that was so fun and so tasty.
Speaker 2:It was I'll say this, josh my catch when I caught that roll itself. I didn't realize until after, because we filmed ourselves doing it too and those videos are online. I didn't realize it might actually hit. It went through a flag, it went through the flag.
Speaker 1:There's flags. That's where there's flags hanging from the ceiling. Hit the flag that stopped the trajectory of the roll.
Speaker 3:No, the guy that was throwing it.
Speaker 1:he knew he was going to hit the flag, so he just threw it a little bit harder to get it to you.
Speaker 2:And I got it off the lip of the seat next to me as well, so that was pretty cool Then.
Speaker 1:Josh, if you want to see that, you have to go to TikTok, youtube or Instagram and you can see all three of us catching rolls.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and I will say this as well Josh, you, I don't know what. You are an influencer per se, but this night okay, just to give you an example, this night Josh wanted a good video of him catching a roll. So instead of him just catching it from the seat, no, he kind of gets up and has to move around because there was a guy standing in between him and the rolls. So he had to get up and he's put his hands in the air. He's like throw it to me, throw it to me, throw it to me. And so as Josh moves around, the whole restaurant literally almost goes for a full dive to the right-hand side to catch this roll. All these kids I'm talking four, five, six kids watched him do that. So when you got back to the table I'm not sure if you saw or not, you got back to the table all of a sudden, five or six kids jump off their seats and start running crazily around getting rolls chucked to them left, right and so on. You're a bad influence, josh, a bad influence.
Speaker 1:I was doing literal like Because I couldn't get his attention. I was doing like literal football routes oh, is that what it is? I was like I was like on three on three. Yeah, I was. I didn't know that I was going back and forth in the end zone basically to get the attention. Oh, that was cool. And then, you're right, the kids were like that looks fun, daddy. Yeah, I'm gonna go get up and catch a roll.
Speaker 2:But they didn't say that, they just did it. So that was zillish. And I will say again shout out Lambets Cafe. There is actually three in the US itself. This is only the one in Alabama, but there's two others up north in Missouri, missouri. So if you ever near those areas, get to a Lambets Cafe as well, especially if you're carb friendly and you love a good. Those rolls, josh, those rolls are delicious Like hot.
Speaker 1:I enjoyed the food. I enjoyed the food. It was a good change up from seafood.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly, I think you and I had the same thing. Again, to be honest with you Chicken fried steak is what I had. Oh no, I did. I had something different, that's right. I had the fried chicken. Fried chicken, so you had chicken fried steak. I had the fried chicken, so we did the same thing. Oh, with gravy. Oh God, it's good. And just to let people know as well, they come around with the foods in the bowls for free, like as all different sides, for you as well.
Speaker 1:So yeah, yeah, it was great, it was great. So then we move on to the Saturday. We went to a food coma and went to bed.
Speaker 2:Then we did we absolutely did, even though Tim got a box takeaway. I don't know if we finished it or not, but anyway, poor Tim. With Saturday, josh, on the next day, it was the big event day, finally, finally.
Speaker 1:We were at the main event of Bama Ramah on Saturday, but we didn't go there first. No, no, no, no, not at all, not at all. So we had heard from San Marcus, our buddy, that's right. We heard from San Marcus that there was a really special adventure lab that he felt would be great for video, and it was. You know, adventure labs don't have GC codes. It's unfortunate, but it was something about. I think it was called like what I'd have to look. It's called wacky things or something.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:Yep, wacky, wild, large stuff. I don't remember and I I'm going to. I should look it up. I don't remember the name. There was a name for the area.
Speaker 2:Yes, remember the name for the area. It was, it was, it was a marina.
Speaker 1:It was a marina, yeah it was a marina and it was a road that went down to the marina. Yeah and if you just do a quick Google search on um Gulf Shores lady in the lake, you'll find it, or A blame or not.
Speaker 2:Bama Henge is actually on listen on Google as well, okay.
Speaker 1:Bama Henge is there and late. The two big features were Bama Henge and Lady Lake. Apologize, we don't know the name of the area, but that is important because we want. We want that place to still be open. Rumor is is that they don't want. They want to close this area off to geocachers. I Know why. Like we should be ashamed, I don't think they like people parking on the side of the road leading up to it. Oh are you kidding me when we explain what's there? Why wouldn't you expect people to come exactly?
Speaker 2:You built it. They're gonna come like exactly.
Speaker 1:So to describe this, it was 10, a 10 stage at Venture Lab, which is just really exciting because that's 10 fines. Most of them are 5. This is 10 10. They must have created this last year for the event because they give a venture lab credit, 10 10 stage credits to Mega that host.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:But it was just like imagine, like you know, we all we love our roadside attractions and actually like when we do, when we do our Roadside attraction March madness next year, I would say that maybe one or two of these will be, Will be in the running for next year.
Speaker 2:I think possibility, that is a big, big possibility, absolutely so yep, basically it's 10 sort of roadside attractions.
Speaker 1:Let's, let's just ping pong back and forth what we saw.
Speaker 2:Well, firstly, we saw a Bama Henge. Now, what's Bama Henge Stonehenge? It's exactly the same as Stonehenge, but someone's made it because it's in Alabama, or Bama Ramma, so they've made it Out of these what was a plastic of some sort of fiberglass, but it's a something. It's almost. I think it's the same size, josh. Yes, to scale to scale.
Speaker 1:So I never I've never been a Stonehenge, but I imagine that's how big it is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so do I, and they shaped exactly the same, put in the same directions. I don't know whether it's done by aliens or not this one but you know it's a possibility. Or it could be done by Alabamian.
Speaker 1:So it was really, really unique. I mean, the fact that they found it area big enough to put this thing yeah was impressive.
Speaker 2:But there was a pull-off for that one, so you can actually pull off the side of the road. There was a parking bay for that one, so you then you walk through that and you find that after that, josh, there was there was a beautiful Statue of a woman.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm like it was like, almost like a Greek goddess.
Speaker 2:Great goddess. And then there was, there was pillars around her in a circle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and it looked like we were in Rome.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah yeah we were, because we actually we walked to it, so we roamed our way around. But then, better than that, you've got not one, two, three, four, but five in total Mm-hmm, dinosaurs, and they're big, yes, they're big.
Speaker 1:We had a t-rex. They had a bronosaurus, we had a triceratops, which I forgot the name of when we were there you did and a stegosaurus, I believe.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's the ones.
Speaker 1:So they were not life-sized, but almost they're bigger than us, bigger than, oh, they were big, but yeah, they probably weren't life-sized but they were. It was really and it was cool. As I look back on the video and, by the way, there is a great video, not only myself but Minnesota boy, yeah, both made a video. By the time this, this podcast, is out, you'll get to see it Like the area, like when I look at the video I I looked up at the T-rex and the trees behind it. Yeah, like literally looked like I don't know, prehistoric times.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it just looked it looked really kind of real.
Speaker 1:It was really cool.
Speaker 2:We were focused on the actual dinosaurs was so we didn't actually notice the background. That's again. That's another perfect idea in regards to footage of these places so you can get the whole experience. And then we walked down to the marina itself and in the marine we walk around the marina do a few more. There was a big metal spider, josh, that I had to tame as well.
Speaker 1:Which actually we missed. There was a physical cash there that we missed After the fact there is a really cool fountain to that had Neptune. Neptune, the god of fountains, the goddess. I.
Speaker 2:Didn't hear that. On your video you call it, it's Neptune and you like arm, arm, the god, the god of the god of the goddess. But, but it's all led to the, the ultimate roadside attraction slash Weed things in America.
Speaker 1:She's gonna be in the running. I think she will, she will if I don't nominate her, you probably will nominate her. I'll let you have. It is lady. Lady in the lake. Yeah, lady in the lake, which is, imagine, imagine the stat, the, something the size of the Statue of Liberty, yep, yep. Sitting in a lake, yeah, without her crown. Nope, sitting in the lake with her, her shoulders and above and her head hanging out and her knees, that's right, hanging out of the water, like she's taking a bath in the lake.
Speaker 2:That's right. Yeah, perfect, perfect example Josh. Yeah, exactly, so all you look like her knees and her, you know, top of a torso and head.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and they say her face looks like either Sarah Evans, the country singer, or Catherine Zeta Jones. And I looked at, I looked at a picture of Sarah Evans. I was curious and she does it.
Speaker 3:I'd say yes, close to Sarah Evans.
Speaker 1:But this I mean, it's humongous. You had to get like. You had to go out on the dock to get like the right angle. Yeah, they're like.
Speaker 2:See her in her glory because you can actually see her. If you get the right angle, josh, you can see her face through the center of her legs. Just say, yeah, it sounds better, worse than what. It probably what she looks like.
Speaker 1:It was just. I've never seen anything like it in my life. No, no, and the fact that the fact that they just put her in the way I just like it's, I guess she got. She got pretty banged up during the last hurricane, but they fixed her.
Speaker 2:They fixed her up or right. This? That's yeah, she looked fine for me. That's that's exactly right. Will you love your?
Speaker 1:baths Craig.
Speaker 2:I do, I do, and they kind of reminded me and that's what I miss most about being on the road. You're a bath kind of sewer. I am, I'm a bath, I'm a bath bro, I'm a bath bro. Um, after we, after we saw the lady, we then hit Josh, we then hit the Bama Ramma Mega event.
Speaker 1:No, we, oh yeah, we did Skip it. I'm sorry, cuz I looked at the notes. I looked at something else. Yes, we did.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah and here is, here's something interesting about this. Every you know you and I have been to so many mega vans Every mega that has its own Vibe. Yes, it's its own style. Geo Woodstock is a type of event where people go to the event and they pretty much, I think, because there's so many people there and it's the opportunity to connect with people, a lot of people, not everybody a lot Of people to stick around, stick around, and it's a really a social event. It's one day event, yeah, and other events like West Bend cash bash in West Bend, wisconsin, mm-hmm, like the mega that really almost only lasts like a couple hours when everybody comes back to like see who won the prizes, but during that event everybody's out cashing.
Speaker 1:Yep, this one, craig I think to best describe, is sort of a hybrid of that Mm-hmm. The. This event had so many and what I mean so many, I mean a lot of adventure labs that were. They use their adventure lab credits, credits throughout the town To have physical caches, physical bird houses, like every, probably every 30 feet. Oh, on the downtown of, I think it. I think it was Alberta, alberta, is that right?
Speaker 2:But yeah, Alberta.
Speaker 1:They were these beautifully painted Bird houses, like a van go painted one, and that, yes, it was, and you open them up and then, when you open them up, you answer the question on the adventure lab. So it was just a really cool way to stack, kind of stack geocaches throughout the town.
Speaker 2:As you know, the the actual adventure labs themselves. If people don't aren't aware, geocaches physical geocaches have to be 527 foot or 181 meters apart from each other, but these being Adventure lab types, they can literally be stacked on top of each other. Makes no difference. There's no actual radius.
Speaker 1:Yes, so we're at the vent at the park and it's a little sparse, and I know why. Yeah, everybody's out, everybody's out in this little town. Yeah, geocaching. So this is right when we say geocaching, this is a geocaching event where most people are out finding all these adventure labs and we're talking like you had an opportunity. There were fit, you know, physical ones that they built, but there were also questions. You can find over a hundred in this little town. Yeah, couldn't be, couldn't be. More than 2,000 people live in this town.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, it's a small town.
Speaker 1:It was a little less yeah yeah, you could find over a hundred. You can get a hundred finds easily, easily Just from adventure labs, yeah, and a lot of work, you know again temporary for the event. So most people when we were in the park we were looked at each other, crag. We're like where is everybody?
Speaker 2:And even to the point, though I do like that, when you do check in number number one, we used the the feather. We use the feather as the sign in again, like that was nice, that was nice.
Speaker 2:That was a nice touch, but they gave you like a Thing and to go around to each of the sponsors it's a little bit were there and you had to get the sign off. So literally you had to visit every single person or vendor that was actually there to get them signed off. So you go into like another prize draw. I'll. That was a scavenger hunt within the actual event, which is what I liked as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that was. That was really fun. There was that one of the stages for that, for that scavenger. It was a trackable birthday cake or not birthday cake, a trafficable cake cake. Yes, a woman, a woman had made a Pirate ship cake and they made it trackable.
Speaker 2:And and that trackable is actually in your video too, and it was okay because send my. I got Sam Marcus approval because he said, no, it's locked anyway. So yeah, it's already.
Speaker 1:But you can, but you can discover it. So, and then I personally had a cool little adventure Because before the event I was tipped off that there was a special trackable in Minnesota. That's right, there's a special trackable in Minnesota that if you brought it to Bama Ramah, you got an exclusive coin that they only made 50 of. Wow. So I got tipped off. I found it. There's a full video of this whole thing.
Speaker 1:Yep, Yep and I brought it to San Marcus and he, did he give me the coin? No, he gave me coordinates that will go find. So I went off the woods to find it and let me say the courts were off a little bit, took me a little bit longer than I should have probably, and I found the treasure, a treasure box and I had the coin in it. Yeah, and I got and I found it. I went back to San Marcos. Let me keep the treasure box.
Speaker 2:That's pretty cool. He's such a cool guy. But anyway, yeah, you were only one of three that actually found those coins to all that. That right. So one of three, josh, that's it. One of three in the world. That's what you are See. There you go.
Speaker 1:It was cool. Yeah, the it was a great event. I love just I love the variety of Types of mega events. You know, in our community, the geocaching community, I recommend it's such a unique area and it's like to me it's like this area has kind of like a Florida vibe, in that the shore is right there, right, yeah, the sea is right there, but it different than Florida. It has more of a southern vibe. You know what I mean, like the south, the south, yeah, yeah, like home cooking, south, yeah, and so it's, it's a really unique. That's an area that has a really unique mix that I had never experienced before. Yeah, kind of like, kind of Florida. It's like Florida, florida and Louisiana had a baby. Maybe add a little Texas in there, like that. Yeah, that's what it, that's what it felt like.
Speaker 2:It was unique temperature, temperature weather was great as well. And and when it comes to the south, I find this and I found this in my recent sort of travels in general, josh, as well when I'm talking about the south, I've never been to a place where I'm at a restaurant and I'm just a check please, and you gotta pay the check, and they say to you would you like a water to go? I'm like, oh that they, they hydrate you well, like yeah, you got. Apparently that's a very southern thing when they they offer you more Drink to go. Either you know, dr Pepper, whatever you're drinking, or, if you're drinking water, would you like a water to go? So there you go.
Speaker 1:Makes sense, especially in the summer months. Probably yes.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Before we move on from Bama Ramah yeah, yeah, yeah. Bama Ramah 2025 is happening. It's a little earlier, don't have the dates in front of me, but you know what people you have. Google, you can figure it out.
Speaker 2:Oh, it's on your video as well, yeah.
Speaker 1:Bama Ramah 2025. It's in February a little, I think it's mid-February. Yeah and they do a great job you could spend, I Mean you. This year they had 10 events, 10 days 10 events like you could go early, you can stay later, and the theme this year is board games. Yes so with the main events. Theme is monopoly.
Speaker 2:So really cool.
Speaker 1:They do a really good jet, like they go all out down here. They like really dress up. They do. Sometimes you catch man. So like this is the theme, but it's loose. No, they go hard on the theme.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they do, they do everyone, everyone and everyone involved in the actual mega, the whole committee itself. They they really do pull together a great job. And yeah, definitely if you've got time off in that area or if you're retired or whatever, I'm just say, josh, go down for two weeks, go down and start and start the whole 10-day experience of the 10-day lead-up events and then stay a couple of days after, because even after, after the mega event, they have CTO events, you see, so you can clean up the town after you finish. So make a mess of it, make a mess of it. You got to get back to the town, you know. I mean, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's southern hospitality was in full effect, which is, you know, us northerners, you know we don't get to experience that as much you know Minnesota, nice, but the southern hospitality, it's its next level exactly.
Speaker 2:And then, speaking of southern Josh, again, we were famished, famished after our big day at the Bama Ram Omega. And what better place to go if you're famished to eat some delicious, delicious brisket on the board Buckeys.
Speaker 1:Second Buckeys I've ever gone to and I'm you know, I know you had already been, so you were generous enough to To let me go. I think Tim, who was traveling with his Minnesota boy, he was like I felt like he was like a little skeptical. He was. Yeah, he's like, I want to go somewhere where we can sit down, and he had never experienced Buckeys before let me just say hey he after he went there? Mm-hmm, he was. I think he was a believer.
Speaker 2:Oh, he's converted. Now he's got the hat, yes, he does got the shirts.
Speaker 1:He got we I mean, we did have our meal on a hood of our car.
Speaker 2:He got a bucky too, josh, he actually got a stuffed bucky too probably for his grandson. Yeah Well, we don't know that for sure, you never know, Tim, it's I.
Speaker 1:Think he made it. He made a video of it, like yeah, like it. Just it kind of cracked me up. I was, like you know, before I went to Buckeys I was a little bit like all Buckeys it's a kid station and then we took him. We took him, I think he was. He was like a kid in a candy store.
Speaker 2:You saw, you saw, josh, what I saw when I first took you to Buckeys. Yeah, just and just to let you know now, as I said before, I'm in Tennessee right now, on the border of Virginia. Yesterday, josh, I went to two separate Buckeys in one.
Speaker 1:Wow, oh, they're growing in one. They're growing. It's no longer going to be a just a south thing for good, because get this, craig, get this, they're building a Buckeys in Wisconsin.
Speaker 2:Yes, I heard that. I heard, josh, they're doing a Buckeys in in New Jersey. It's gonna take over but in saying that it's I said, I said as well, if they're gonna build a Buckeys in New Jersey, josh, as we know if you don't know Buckeys huge. There's like a hundred gas pumps in every single Buckeys store, minimum a hundred gas pumps. It is huge, josh, in New Jersey you can't pump your own gas, it's illegal.
Speaker 2:So they're gonna have and they get a higher 50, 50 attendees probably probably they and they would they and they paid well too, because they're always looking for for workers and you know as you saw the prices of workers. They were well, well paid.
Speaker 1:I mean it's just an opportunity for them to like show their amazing customer service. I mean the bathrooms and Buckeys from the cleanest gas station bathrooms You'll ever see, because they got people that are like Like Disney, like running, like cleaning them constantly, constantly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you, you walk out of them. I felt bad, josh. Yesterday I walked out of the bathroom after you know my morning coffee, I'll just say that and the guys walk straight in like to clean it after after I've been in there. I was like, oh yeah, I like you know. No, no breathing apparatus or anything like anyway. So Buckeys, have again. Big shout out to Buckeys. If you haven't been to one, try to get one when you're in the south or that sort of area anywhere.
Speaker 1:Okay, so, Hmm, the shows get long, but that's okay.
Speaker 2:It is, it's okay. It is what it is.
Speaker 1:That's okay, so here's the thing by this time, saturday night, mm-hmm, I'm tired.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you are tired. You're tired. I was in the backseat half half asleep. I was having little kips.
Speaker 1:Tim is driving.
Speaker 1:Yeah tired, maybe not as tired, but he's driving, these, driving, and it from the beginning of the trip before we left. I knew about this, this guy, mm-hmm, named Brandon Giles. Now, a little bit of history. Over my childhood I've always been a huge fan of Jerry Lee Lewis. No, jerry Lee Lewis is Whoa.
Speaker 1:Jerry Lee Lewis, great balls of fire. Yep, yep, whole lot of shaking going on that back in the 50s they were thinking that he was gonna be the next king of rock and roll after Elvis, because Elvis, elvis went to the military, so, like, jerry Lee Lewis can be the next king of rock and roll. You know Sun Records, all the whole things. Yeah, this guy, I don't know. The spirit of Jerry Lee Lewis is in this man. Oh, 100% like. I wouldn't say he's necessarily a tribute artist because he's not trying to like, necessarily sound like Jerry Lee Lewis or mimic him at all. We're net, necessarily. But he, but the spirit of Jerry Lee Lewis, this guy, he's got the long blonde hair, he's got he's. His instrument is a piano. Yep, and let me tell you when I say he plays a piano, he, he plays great balls of fire and he starts the piano on fire.
Speaker 1:Yeah, there's videos out there Videos on YouTube on before the trip, before the trip and, by the way, when I was young there's a video of this out there, you can maybe. When I was a child I 13 years old I did a lips and contest in my small town, where I was Jerry Lee Lewis. I started, sort of started the piano on fire. Anyway, did you win? Did you win, jeff? I did win, of course I won, but anyway. So Jerry Lee Lewis has always been important to me. So when I saw videos of sky even before the trip, I was like I really want to go. But at the time, when we were at the end of Saturday night, like I was so tired, I was literally thinking you, you guys, like I don't know if I want to go.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you had second thoughts. You and I'll be honest, I had second thoughts as well because, again, I was tired. But I always thought to myself Push through, we'll get there. And even you said we'll get there. And if you just listen to one song, if we're also tired, we'll just go right, because it was back at the floor of Obama, back at the floor of Emma and it was back in the bra, the Brezee room, like where all the bras were hanging off the ceiling and you can overlook.
Speaker 2:You can overlook him and Josh. He plays the keyboard that hard that he broke a couple of the keys.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, well, I, so he was that hard so we walk in and he's playing like an original, it's okay, he's cool, yeah, ever and. But I'm at that point I think I looked, and I looked at you and Tim and I was kind of like, okay, it's cool, I saw him, whatever. So we go up and we get a go up to the bar and get a drink.
Speaker 1:Yeah and all of a sudden I hear it and he starts playing. A whole lot of shaking going on and I go guys, can you get my drink? I'm gonna go down because I don't want to miss this.
Speaker 2:Josh, just to let you know. You know he said before he starts the the piano on fire for great balls of fire. You, you lit up like a fire behind you as you go down those stairs to watch him play the this song.
Speaker 1:So the guy. Okay, I go down there. The guy, he's amazing. He's so talented and I imagine, if Jerry Lee Lewis, like when he was up and coming, these are this, this is the venue, this is like it's gritty and it's it's a roadhouse. Yes, the dude is okay. He's doing. He's upside down, he's playing that. He's on the chair. He's like all pop up vaping, blowing smoke in the air in between. The guy, he's doing literal acrobat. He's probably in his fifties. Yeah, this guy was a good shape. He was her being this fifties. Yeah, and he's, it was he. It was just an amazing performance. We didn't stay for one set, we didn't stay for two sets, we stayed for all three sets. Greg is Dancing, you're dancing, you're shaking, you're shimmying.
Speaker 1:There was a whole lot of shaking going on yeah yeah, it was you guys. It was so much fun, mm-hmm, and I would say a real highlight of this trip. I'm so glad I went.
Speaker 2:Yes, yeah, and I'm so glad that you you Dragged us along. To be honest with you, josh, there's again like you. Yeah, you were tired, we didn't. I thought I'll go well, have one drink and then. But then you get it. It's addictive. He, he, as a performer, is Addictive. You can't not, you can't not watch him and not move. And if you, if you do, even if you're, even if you're deaf, josh, you still move because you're watching him. He's a performer in in every sense of the word.
Speaker 1:Yeah, a real performer. I didn't go down there. If you got a golf course for any reason, look up the Brandon Giles for the Brandon Giles band. He plays probably three or four times a week in different locations, different locations around, but when he plays at Flora Obama To me, oh, it's the it's the perfect, perfect room, perfect location for him, exactly. I was only one disappointment, you know he ended his show with with great balls of fire and he couldn't I don't think he could find the lighter fluid.
Speaker 2:He was looking for it.
Speaker 1:He's looking for it and so you couldn't. So he didn't start the piano on fire, but what he did instead.
Speaker 2:What he did instead, though, josh, we? He actually picked up the whole piano, the whole keyboard, picked it up and on the underside it had thank you written on it.
Speaker 1:It's like I know I think he does that regardless, even if he starts on fire. But it was so cool. I tipped him on Venmo too, and I and I, when you tip something on Venmo you can put a little note and I just said, hey, I one of the reasons I came down, wanted to come down here was to see you and he, he's like oh, I really appreciate that. He's like I should have got you up on stage to do a little Jerry Lilly with me. Oh, geez.
Speaker 2:See, there's always, there's always a method to your madness, josh you love, you love. So that night, josh, we were then Buggered, we were tired and, yeah, had a good night sleep that night.
Speaker 1:Um, we enjoyed, you know, we enjoyed the Eagle Cottage Cabins and they were just really nice and I don't remember how much we talked about them on the previous episode, but they were great, brand new. So knew that. You know that there was some stuff that you know they need a little bit more shelving. It was so fresh. They were rumoring that we were the first people that had, like, stayed in that died in that cabin. Yeah, but I mean really we could have spent. We could have spent the whole weekend Just there and had a lot of fun at the at the Gulf Shore State Park and we actually, craig, we actually talked to One of the people that worked there and talks a little bit about the cabins, a little bit about the state park. Should we throw it to that? No, absolutely Just like the rolls, throw it to it. We are here at the main office of the Eagle Cottages at Gulf State Park and we are here with somebody that works here.
Speaker 3:Hello, what is your name? Hi, I'm Mary Catherine. Hi, mary.
Speaker 1:Catherine, we just had a fabulous day here, but I thought it would be great if we got directly from you all that this park has to offer. What do people come here for mostly?
Speaker 3:Gulf State Park is really unique. A lot of people come here for a lot of different reasons. As I was just telling them, we've got 28 miles of hiking and biking trails. We've got three different lakes here like. Shelby, middle Lake, little Lake. But then you also have access to the Gulf of Mexico and beach access as well. We've got two miles of beach, so people come here for kayaking, trail riding and then, of course, hitting the beach.
Speaker 1:That's fantastic, so it's so cool to have access to all, like the great food and all the music, all the stuff, but then this is like a little nature heaven right in the middle of it. So that is fantastic. So, if somebody is interested in booking one of these cabins, where do they go? What are they? Where do they go for that?
Speaker 3:Yeah, we've got two different websites. We have our Eagle Cottages website, which is Eagle Cottages at GSPcom, at GSPcom, and then we have the cabins at GSPcom. So the cottages are our larger properties, our cabins are a little smaller, but the websites offer both. You know, photos of each kind of properties.
Speaker 2:You can kind of see what layout works best for you and, of course, josh, all these leads are gonna be in the description, just saying of course, and I just Told you that there are hundreds of geocaches here, so our challenge to you, yes, is to find one of them. There's probably one, just like right outside this office. Well, they really didn't even know it. We found it. Remember it was a day five. That was a tough one over there. It was a tough one over there. It was really hidden?
Speaker 1:well it's, it's in the tree.
Speaker 2:So it's in the tree.
Speaker 3:Yes, yes, I'm not gonna have to climb it.
Speaker 2:No, no, no, no. Okay, it's tricky. Yeah, thanks so much for talking to us.
Speaker 1:Thank you for an amazing stay again, golf State Park.
Speaker 2:What a treasure in your cottage is an actually treasure of this town. Yes, and you know what, josh?
Speaker 1:She's proud. She's proud of this park. She's really proud. That's a rare thing these days.
Speaker 3:I am. There's so much to do here. It's absolutely stunning, it's. You know. You have the lake, you can relax. It's quiet, it's calm. They have the beach a little more hectic, more energetic. So it really is able to suit kind of any kind of needs exactly where the great time.
Speaker 2:Thank you much, so much again.
Speaker 3:Yeah, thank you for being here visiting with us.
Speaker 1:What a great trip it was fantastic. I just want to say another big thank you to San Marcus for inviting us to experience this event, and also to Kay and everyone at the visitor bureau as well for being their hospitality and Point out some of these really cool locations. I really encourage you to check out the show notes if you visit we. We hit a lot. We were able to hit a lot in four ish days, yeah, yeah, but we didn't hit everything. So we could certainly, we could certainly go back and visit again.
Speaker 2:And I think we will, just to be honest with you, next year, 2025. We, maybe we may be back there again. I'm hoping, so that would be cool. That would be cool and it's really cool as well. Josh, we had patreon's there. We had a few patrons there and I missed out as well. We had Another patreon there as well. What's his name? Now, I forget, totally forget his name again Every single time. We met him at the mega event. And well, was it? Yes, tarell.
Speaker 1:Yes, Tarell to that's it.
Speaker 2:That's the one I. The reason why I say this, josh, and a big shout out to him, is he sought me. He sought me down because I had a bag of trackables. If you don't a jacosher, trackables are just like little hidden things that they can go from cash to cash to cash and the owners of the trackables can see their journey. So I I had this bag of trackables, josh, and one of the trackables was his actual trackable that he dropped somewhere I think was in Hawaii or somewhere like that it was, and it had traveled all over the US. And so now he's like okay, now I want it back. And he looked and it was in my hands. So he sought me out. He said do you have my trackable? And I did. I went here, it is.
Speaker 3:I love that.
Speaker 2:Look at that there, it is there, and then he tried to explain to me how he does his trackable so they don't go missing, etc as well. So, yeah, big shout to you to roll to mate, and you're welcome for your trackable to be returned to its rightful, rightful owner. So, josh, if you want to be a patreon, what do they do?
