You remember last year.
If anyone hasn't heard of lastyear, go back and listen to last

A great episode.
Last year as well, we hadShorty Knits on as our third
guest as well.
For that one too, which isawesome, and it was Josh.
As we said before, it was ournumber one listened show for
2024.
So right now, if you'relistening to this, you're
(01:18):
probably listening to our numberone listened show for 2025.
That's my prediction, Josh.
That's my prediction Josh,that's my prediction, mate.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
That is a very good
prediction.
And I actually this week, toget me in the mood, craig, to
get me in the mood I went backand I listened to last year's
podcast.
Oh, you did, you did, yeah, andI'm pumped, I am pumped.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Well, we're not going
to get into the rules and
regulations just yet, but I willsay that you will not hear
anything.
Any one particular from lastyear.
We cannot repeat ones from lastyear.
So even if they didn't win,they're not repeated this year.
These are all brand new, Josh,Every single one of these are
brand spanking new too.
Yes, exactly, exactly.
So, speaking of brand spankingnew, would you like our guests
(01:58):
now, or do you want to do ourdelays and upgrades first mate?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Let's do our delays
and upgrades and then we can
bring in our very special guestCraig.
What are your upgrades anddelays?
Tell me more.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Well, okay, my
upgrades and delays are actually
.
They're kind of linked to thesame thing and it's again.
Josh, hello, I'm a man in a vanliving down by the river.
I don't really have delays.
I don't Like.
It's insane, you know.
But I will say I'll start withmy upgrades.
And, of course, this week Iflew.
Well, last weekend I flew toCalifornia from Houston with Rob
(02:33):
Vardaman, the president ofMunzee, because there was a big,
huge Munzee event over therecalled Munzee Madness.
That's right because it's inMarch and it's sort of a playoff
.
This sort of same thing, againwith the basketball thing Flew
over there for two days of justfull-on Munzee gameplay.
Now, if you don't play Munzee,that's okay, but just listen to
this.
There was a world record gamebeater on Friday, in other words
(02:57):
, one player Tofugil her name is.
She got 7.5 million points, themost ever ever in one day.
And then the very next day,less than 24 hours later, coal
Cracker Seven from Floridaoutdid her with nine million
points on the next day.
Nine million points in one day,josh.
(03:19):
I mean, how many points do youhave over 14 years of your play?
33 million, 33 million 33million over 14 years and this
person got 9 million in one day.
So that shows the difference inthe points value.
But anyway, that's my upgrade.
My delay, Josh, it's going tohave to be my flight back
(03:41):
because it didn't get delayed.
It did not get delayed, it wason time, but it wasn't direct
from Orange County to Houston.
I left Orange County, Josh, at7.30 pm.
I flew into Houston because ofthe time change and daylight
savings change.
I flew into Houston at 6.30 amand only got three hours sleep
(04:01):
on the plane because I had to govia San Francisco.
So anyway, that's my delay.
Is that a really bad delay?
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
It's not too bad.
It is a triple whammy goingeast during daylight savings
springing forward, you lose anhour, then you get the time
change and then you get a redeye at the same time.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
That's a triple
whammy, exactly, and luckily we
only record this as audio,because I do have red eyes at
the moment.
I'm living up to it.
From last night or this morningI arrived in.
So anyway, mate, what aboutyours?
Delays and upgrades.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, I'm going to
project my upgrade because I am
getting out of here.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
I am getting out of
here.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I'm getting out of
Minnesota finally, on Wednesday,
I'm hopping on a plane.
Craig, I just realized this is.
My downgrade is that I have notgone get this.
I have not gone on a geocachingtrip for over seven months.
What have you been in?
Speaker 1 (05:01):
hibernation, josh.
I know In your Minnesota whatdo you call it?
Snowmobile or whatever it is,you're hibernating mate.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
I can't believe it.
I mean, the last geocachingtrip I took was when I was in
Germany in August, and I haven'tdone any geocaching trips since
then.
However, that's my downgrade.
The upgrade is it's allchanging Geocaching season's.
Here we're going to Texaschallenge and when you listen to
this podcast, we were alreadythere I'm sure we had a great
time.
Absolutely, you're gonna hearabout it on this podcast of
(05:30):
everything we experienced infloresville, texas.
But, yeah, I'm just happy thatI'm gonna be getting out of here
very, very soon and, um, thewhite stuff is melting right now
yeah, by the time I'm back.
By the time I'm back, it willbe gone.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
It'll be mud then by
the time you're back, it's
beginning to be mud josh.
When you said you're going topredict your upgrades, I thought
you were going to actuallypredict that you're going to be
the winner on today's episode.
Just saying like uh how is your, how is your, how is your, your
pump up for this, for yourpicks, for this one, for today's
uh, or this year's, thisseason's episode?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I'm feeling pretty
good.
I'm feeling pretty good aboutit because last year, if you
remember, I did win.
My entry was the big winner.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I got second and
third Second and third
respectively, and fourth, Ithink.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
I think you had three
of them in the final four, but
I came out champion.
Yeah, I know.
I know All right, let's get toour guest.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I was going to say,
josh, you think you've got some,
you know, pump up some goodquality ones too.
Our special guest today she didher own research.
She's done one of a few thingsthat she's been to these ones.
She's researched them.
She's seen them in real lifetoo, some of them, some of them,
she hasn't.
It's just an actual researchshow as well.
But do you want to introducethe one, the only?
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Sure, we have with us
the one, the only, mecca Ammon
Courtney from the great state ofMinnesota.
She's here, she's one of us.
Actually, she's from Wisconsin,but we won't hold that against
her, but she lives here inMinnesota.
Welcome, courtney, welcome toour show.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
Thank you for having
me.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Oh, straight away.
Leads in with that giggle aswell.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
The giggling has
started already.
I love it.
It's started already.
It's great.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
And some people.
So, josh, some people out there, they would have listened to a
few of our different shows,whether it be the Treasures of
Our Town podcast, whether it beeven the Munzee, the official
Munzee podcast as well, becausewe've mentioned that Courtney is
a fellow podcaster with ourgood friend Minnesota Boy,
minnesota Boy, minnesota Boy.
And they have a brewery podcasttoo.
(07:29):
So, courtney, yes, tell us alittle bit about yourself, tell
us about your brewery podcast,tell us about Tim, and go from
there.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
So Tim and I do the
Brewery Adventure.
We're at thebreweryadventurecom.
The Brewery Adventure onInstagram.
The Brewery Adventure onurecom.
Thebreweryadventure onInstagram.
Thebreweryadventure on YouTube.
We go to various breweries,mostly in the metro in the Twin
Cities.
Here talk about the ambiance,kind of the feels that we get
when we're hanging out andhaving our beers inside.
We are not beer experts.
(07:59):
We don't talk about all thetechnicalities of what makes a
good kind of beer great.
We don't get into that.
We just like hanging out atbreweries and having beer.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
I did notice that,
and it's true.
It's true, I will say, and it'snot a bad thing.
You are not a beer expert,because those of you who are on
Untappd, for instance, thatbeautiful app where you can
share all your beer reviewsCourtney, you're the type of
person that says if I'll drinkthis again, it's a five.
If I'm not going to drink itagain, it's a zero.
That's what you do.
There's no in between for you.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Well, no, I don't
even know if I can go down to
zero.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Oh, so you do a one.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
I mean, if I can't
drink it again, it's probably
going to look like a three, ohwow.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
See, too nice.
You are wisconsin.
So well, that's, that's veryminnesota.
Nice to uh to rank those beersso generously, that's true, yeah
, well, if you, um, areinterested in breweries and
beers, I suggest that you listento it, even if you're not from
the minneapolis st paul area,because what they talk about is,
like, what are the type ofthings that make breweries great
?
And they talk about theambience, they talk about the
bathrooms, they talk about ifthey can get a they can get a
flight, or not, um, so it'sgreat, very particular about the
(09:13):
bathroom situation at thebreweries if you're, if you're a
person who at the momentthinking about going into the
brewery business itself, makesure you put a one of those foot
grabs on the bathroom doors.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
You've got a foot
grab on the bathroom door.
That's tim's highlight of thewhole brewery adventure.
For him that's that's hisnumber one pick is a foot grab
for the bathroom, bathroomtoilets I think it's the little
things that are important yes, Ithink all public bathrooms
should have the foot grab.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Honestly, I'm kind of
a germaphobe oh geez, I don't
mind.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I even like lick my
hand.
I'm joking.
Anyway, we're not going to godown that rabbit hole.
Courtney, you did some researchfor this show as well.
You did listen to last year'sepisode, yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
I listened to last
year's episode.
I did research.
I do want to clarify, though,that I have not been to a single
one of these locations on mylist.
I think, there were maybe oneor two that I'd been to, on
yours but not mine.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Well, that's good.
That's the case, then, becausehopefully I might get your pick
then from there.
So, josh, do you want to leadin as to how this is going to
play out?
How are we going to do this?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Yes, for sure.
And here's the thing it isessential that Courtney is here,
because we can't have just twopeople, we can't have four,
because we can't have a tie.
For each of these attractions,each of these roadside
attractions, we need to have adeciding person, and so here's
what we're going to do.
We are now entering 2025,roadside attractions, march
(10:44):
Madness, and we are going todetermine the number one, the
champion of all roadsideattractions in the grand US of A
.
But before we get started, weneed to define for y'all what we
believe is a roadsideattraction.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
So here it is and
what Google believes is a
roadside attraction.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
What Google believes,
because Google knows everything
and ChatGBT knows everythingtoo, but I think ChatGBT just
takes stuff from Google.
So a roadside attraction is afeature along the side of a road
meant to attract tourists.
In general, these are placesthat one might stop on the way
to somewhere, rather than beinga destination.
However, if you listen to lastyear's podcast, some of the
(11:25):
places become destinations,especially if you're a geocacher
, because a lot of times thereare geocaches hidden at these
destinations.
That's right.
So we've done this veryscientifically this year.
Last year it was a little willynilly, but this year this is a
scientific formula.
It's going to be completely fairon how we're going to do this.
So what we have done, we'veincluded our patrons in this
(11:48):
whole process.
So Craig submitted six of hisroadside attractions, courtney
submitted six, I submitted six,and then the patrons on our last
show submitted a bunch of themand Craig and I selected five of
those six.
So we have six from each of usand we have five from the
patrons.
Those six, so we have six fromeach of us and we have five from
the patrons.
And then you might be thinking,well, how are we going to make
(12:09):
this fair?
How can we make this thisranked?
How do we rank them?
Yeah, and so what we did?
We went back to our patrons.
I listed all of the, all 23 ofthem, and the, and then their
patrons would have to list fiveof their favorites and by using
that, that determined the onesthat got the most votes, had the
higher seat, which is the oneseat, and the ones that didn't
(12:30):
get any votes.
Actually, there was like onlyfive, I think.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Only five, or six
that didn't get any votes.
They are the lowest seats.
Were they all your picks?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Josh, they were all
your picks I think no, no, not
at all, and there were some ties.
There were some ties, so I userandomorg to decide the ties and
then, when I plugged them in,if there was a situation where a
first round you were, it was acraig submitted pick and a craig
submitted pick, I made surethat you were not going
head-to-head against yourself ona first round on a first round
(13:00):
yeah.
So what's going to happen here?
We, um, we're going to gothrough these matchups.
They're all matched up.
If you're interested, we'regoing to happen here.
We're going to go through thesematchups.
They're all matched up.
If you're interested, we'regoing to put it on our show
notes.
If you want to follow along,you can pause and you can follow
along on our bracket.
We have a full bracket here andwhat we're going to do is I'm
going to name the matchup andthen the people that submitted
those roadside attractions, theywill get to go first and they
(13:21):
will make their case.
They will make their case whytheir roadside attraction is
great, and then the other personwill make their case for theirs
, and then we'll have adiscussion and then we will vote
.
Now, last year, sometimes,sometimes, um, you know, the
person was so convincing thatthey didn't even vote for their
own.
We're gonna be very we're gonnabe very um fair I'll, at least
(13:43):
I'm putting my hand up right now.
I'm swearing that if I believethat the one that I'm going up
against is better, I will votefor it.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah, because we've
got to really determine.
I swear too, and Courtney, doyou swear on your brewery
adventure?
Speaker 3 (13:56):
I swear on my brewery
adventure.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Oh, tim's going to
love that.
That's a nice little soundbitefor him.
Anyway, sounds good.
So I already know, josh, myfirst one in the bracket, anyway
, is going to be it's atop-notch one.
If this one doesn't get throughto at least the third, fourth
round, I'll be crying.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
You know, what's
really fun about this one is
that we have true underdogs nowbecause we have some that didn't
get any votes from our patrons,and we have true favorites too
Somebody that could take it away, and the favorites.
They have an easier path.
They have an easier path to thefinals and that is only fair
because they worked hard, craig.
They worked hard all year tomake their attraction great.
(14:37):
And you know what, whoever madethat attraction, they put it
there because they were proud oftheir talent, and that's a damn
rare thing these days.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
See, finally you get
it in in the first.
What 15 minutes now.
So you don't forget it, likeyou've done the last few
episodes.
So very good, josh, very goodmate, you didn't even put that
in the actual show notes.
I'm proud of you, I'm proud ofyou, I'm proud of my board.
Thank you, anyway.
All right, are we going to geta start?
Are we getting a crack on?
Speaker 2 (15:12):
Oh, that was really
sporty.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
That was very sporty
music.
I thought you'd like that.
I hope it was the CBS.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Okay, I don't know
which one that is, if you can't
find the music.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
If you can't find the
music, just use that, okay.
Okay, I'll just use that.
That's what I'll use.
Actually, I will just use that.
I won't even try and doanything fake.
But anyway, moving on, josh, wehave who we got first up who's
okay.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
The number 23, which
is the lowest seed.
This is the.
This is the true man, the trueunderdog.
It is Courtney's, it is theartistic bathrooms, but, more
specifically, it is the Courtney.
What is it?
What's the full name of whatyou, what you, submitted here?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Well, I don't okay.
I understand why people putthis down at the bottom, because
I don't think it 100% fallsinto the classification of a
roadside attraction.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I don't know about
that, because Craig or I've,
I've, I've been to this place.
I believe you have.
Yes, because this is the placewhere I believe Courtney I don't
know if you know this that theymake the toilets in Wisconsin,
there's the Kohler, the Kohlertoilets.
It's yes.
I think they're there.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
So you know, this is,
this is legit, this is a, it's
the Kohler Art Center and they Idon't know if they've
proclaimed this themselves or ifother people have bestowed this
title upon them, but they havethe world's most artistic
bathrooms.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
In Sheboygan,
Wisconsin.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
In Sheboygan,
Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
I have been here,
guys.
I have been here and, oh mygosh, if you look at the
pictures, these urinals, theseurinals are gorgeous.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
You literally don't
want to use them.
You don't want to use them.
It's like the cathedral of thecathedral of journals?
Yes, absolutely, absolutely,and so this is the thing,
courtney as well.
This is actually technically aroadside attraction.
It is on roadsideamericacom.
It's listed on as a roadsideattraction.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
It is, it is.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
It absolutely is a
roadside attraction.
There's other roadsideattractions out there, like you
know, for instance Bucky's,who's got the world's famous
cleanest bathrooms, you knowthat sort of thing.
So they're a roadsideattraction.
So this is still technically aroadside attraction I like it,
I'll take it.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Then it looks like.
It looks like what they havedone is in their art center and
their kind of like art museumarea.
They have taken their publicrestrooms, kind of given each
one to a different artist, andsaid, hey, you're working with
these Kohler fixtures in thebathrooms, do what you want with
the rest, and each one has likeits own theme.
(17:50):
It has a name to it.
They started out with sixoriginal washrooms that are in
their art center and then theyhave three newer ones that have
been added to an art preservearea.
So every bathroom that you goin there is its own work of art.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Wow, wow, it is.
I really like this one, josh.
I really do like this one.
This is, this is really cooland, as I said before, you have
a look at the the on the shownotes.
There's links all through theshow notes as well.
If you want to actually look,look along, just pause, have a
look.
Let us know as well, josh, letus know your, your, your
(18:25):
thoughts and opinions too.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
So do we have the.
What this one is up against,josh?
What's this one up against?
So again, I've been to thesetoilets, I've been to this
bathroom.
Now I don't want to talk badabout it, but here's the thing I
only knew this was here becauseI decided to just check out the
art museum, and then that's howI knew there was no sign.
There was no.
I was like, oh, there's an artmuseum here, cool.
And then I was like, uh, thelady at the front desk was like,
(18:46):
have you seen it?
I was like, no, I haven't.
She goes, our bathrooms areamazing.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
So I mean I did.
I did put this on the listpartially for Tim my, my co
Bathroom.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Association.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I wanted a cool
bathroom option on the list and
this one seemed very cool.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I don't know whether
Tim should be that proud to be a
bathroom extraordinaire, likeone who officiates bathrooms
more than anything else.
It's probably a little bitbeyond him, to be honest with
you.
Anyway, all right, we've got tokeep moving.
You can't slow up.
What's it against?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
the world's most
gorgeous bathrooms is going up
against another attraction inwisconsin.
Can you believe it?
Wisconsin versus wisconsin.
And this is in wisconsin dells,wisconsin, which the whole town
, you guys, the whole town is aroadside attraction.
But my favorite thing, ifyou're driving along 94
interstate 94 you will see somany signs for wisconsin dells,
(19:49):
but you'll see so many signs forthis, and that is the wisconsin
dells duck tours.
Oh, have you, have you everheard of the doctor?
Speaker 1 (19:56):
yes, and we do have
these in australia as well.
Yes, we do.
Yeah, we do cool the court.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Have you been on the
duck tours?
This is one I have definitelybeen to many times, so if you
don't know what they are, theseare World War II amphibious
vehicles.
They're from the war.
Get this.
They're vehicles that can go onthe road and then they also
turn into boats.
They splash down into the.
It's amazing.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
They literally drive
into the water and the wheels
float off the bottom of the, andthen they also turn into boats.
They splash down into the, theyliterally drive into the water
and the wheels float off thebottom of the, and then they
float all the way through andthey what's the name?
Their motors kick in and theymotor off from there.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
So, yeah, very cool,
very cool indeed.
So it's a, yeah, it's a vehicleand a boat and they're so funny
they have these funny collegeguides that it's their college
job and they have stupid likecheesy jokes the whole time One
of the Disney what's it calledin universal studios, or
Disneyland, whatever it's called.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
when that that the
tray, a tray that Rob's son does
that as well.
On the on the tour, the tourguide, yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Oh yeah, the jungle
tour.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Yes, yes, yes.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Yes, that's the one
jungle boat tour.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, but this isdifferent than the jungle boat
tour because this is real, likeit's real, real beauty, that
Wisconsin River is all amazing,like rock formations, and then
when you're in the land, there'sactual trails for the ducks and
you go through these narrowpassageways and you mentioned
the splashdown.
They go down the hill reallyfast and they just splash down
(21:22):
into the water and then this isthe splashdown.
They go down the hill reallyfast and they just splash down
into the water and then this isthe cheese factor.
Maybe you remember this,Courtney.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Wait, wait, wait.
You just said the cheese factorfor Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yeah, he did, yeah,
he did.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Yeah, he did.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
You think you're done
with the tour and then all of a
sudden the tour guide pulls thevehicle onto the side and
brings out all these postcardsand you are held hostage to buy
these postcards from thiscollege student.
And that's basically how theyget their tips.
They hand them out and thenthey're like if, if you, uh, if
you want them, you can keep themfor free, but you have to make
(21:58):
sure you tip me.
So it's been around since 1946.
It is a must do if you're atthe dells the w Wisconsin Dells
Duck Tour.
That's my submission.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Okay, there we go.
So, Josh, who are you votingfor?
Speaker 2 (22:09):
if that's the case, I
am voting for the Duck Tours.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I've done both.
And, courtney, who are youvoting for?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
No, no, no, one of
them is mine.
I think you need to vote next.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
No, no.
Josh votes, and then the twopeople they need to vote,
because Josh may have swayed you, and then my vote doesn't even
matter.
So what's your vote?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
Courtney, I'm going
for the Duck Tour, because I
mean Wisconsin Dells.
It is a tourist location in andof itself, but I think if
you're going to do a short listof things that you have to do in
the Dells, that Duck Tour, youshould just do it.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
You missed out,
courtney.
I was going to go with thebathrooms, I was going to go
with the bathrooms, and thatwould have been the wrong choice
.
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Because you haven't
done it.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
You haven't done it,
courtney and I have done it and
because the definition ofroadside attraction this is a
tour, not a roadside attractionit is a roadside attraction
because of all the signs thatdirect you.
You got through, Josh.
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Let's move on All
right.
Next one I'm going to tell youwhat it's up against.
So it's going to be 22 versus11.
22 is yours, craig.
Yes, it is.
22 is the paper house which Ialmost submitted as one of of
(23:28):
mine.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
The paper house in uh
, where is it craig?
Is it in?
I'm I'm screaming through theno, no, no, the paper house is
in in rockport massachusetts.
This is in rockportmassachusetts, out there, so you
, and yes, can I.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Can I tell you who
it's against?
First, of course, and thenagainst number 11, which is also
me, which is the giantpresident.
Heads outside of Josh, you'rekilling me.
Outside of?
Where is it Outside ofWilliamsburg, Virginia?
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Courtney, before we
even get any further on through
this, we've got to say thisright now, and that is Josh
can't have the top five in thisMarch Madness this year.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
He can't have the top
five, so we've got to go
against it you swore Craig, youswore that you were going to
pick the ones that you liked thebest, you swore.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
All right, I'll start
then.
The Paper House in Rockport,Massachusetts, is actually a
house.
The entire house is actuallymade from newspaper, including
the furniture as well.
It was built in 1920s and itwas created by Ellis Steinman.
It was a mechanical engineer.
It features the walls, as Isaid before, the furniture, even
the decorative elements, eventhe elements were made from
(24:35):
layers of glued togethernewspaper, not cardboard, not
just random piece newspaperitself.
The structure is insulated withthe newspaper.
So that's the reason why he didit is he thought the newspaper
would make actually goodinstallation for the house
itself, um and so, and it also,at the same time, he wanted to
recycle.
So he's back in the 1920s, josh, and already he's thinking
(24:56):
green in regards to recycling.
And what can I do?
Because you think about it,where does newspaper come from?
Trees, whatrees.
What also builds houses?
Trees.
So it's the same same.
So that is my submission, joshis the newspaper house.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
It is pretty cool.
I would like to visit itsomeday.
I saw pictures, I saw videos ofit.
It was great.
However, the giant president'sheads, which is also a lost
place.
So it's near Williamsburg,virginia, which is also a lost
place.
So it's near WilliamsburgVirginia, and there used to be
in Yorktown, virginia.
There was a place calledPresident's Park, where they put
(25:31):
these gigantic heads ofpresidents in the park.
Well, they couldn't keep it up,so they actually had to get rid
of them and they put them in adump, basically a place outside
of town.
Get rid of them and they putthem in like a dump, basically
like a place outside of townwhere somebody bought them and
get this.
These heads weigh 10,000 poundseach.
(25:51):
Oh, wow, amazing.
And they're just like.
If you see pictures of it,they're just randomly, just in a
field out there.
The park closed in 2010.
And then they moved it to theproperty in 2015, so it's been
out there for only 10 years andI think it's like once a month
they open it up.
People can get tickets online.
I looked into it because I waslike, oh my gosh, this might be
(26:13):
close to geo woodstock.
Um, maybe, uh, maybe we canvisit it, but yeah, you uh go to
the website.
You can get tickets.
I think it's like 30, um, butit looks like it is so worth.
It is quirky fun.
It's a little creepy.
It's a little bit like it kindof looks like because the heads
are deteriorating.
Okay, lincoln, the back oflincoln's head is like crumbling
(26:36):
apart, which is kind of weirdif you think about it.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
That's really weird
I've got a couple of questions.
Josh, you did say before thatthat this is only open certain
periods of time.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah, what was the
time frame?
Again, I didn't even.
I was actually watching through.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
They're open once a
month.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
They open it up Once
a month, courtney, once a month.
If you're driving past this andit's closed, you've got a one
in 30 chance of actually havingthat experience.
If you're driving past as aroadside attraction, I'm just
putting that out there to youSee what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
If I'm making a video
, this is so video worthy.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
Oh, it is.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
The Paper House is
cool.
It is Wow.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Paper House is open
all the time too, so just saying
.
Anyway, anyway anyway, do youwant to get a start?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
on the votes straight
away.
Yeah, I will.
I will vote for the.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I'm voting for the
president heads I am voting for
the paper house only because ofthe other.
I would have voted for thepaper heads, except the one, and
once a month is just too.
I'd rather be like driving pastit and then be able to get out
and do some photos from there.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
So what if you're
driving past it and it's open?
You hit them one time a monthexactly I'm once.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
I'm a one month guy,
so exactly so, but I'm still
going to courtney so you see thepicture, you see the picture in
the show notes you see thepicture of the paper house.
I mean how many years I see thepicture.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
Well, I see the
picture.
I would be really super sad ifI couldn't stop and enjoy it in
person.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
It would.
I wouldn't like that.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I love how see, but
wouldn't you be?
This is what you'd be so happy,when you could Like.
If you had to choose, if theywere both open, which one would
you choose?
Oh, now he's changing the rules.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Now he's changing the
rules.
Courtney, you can't havesplinters in your backside here.
You can't be a fence sitter.
It's one side or the other andthere's no wrong answers.
There is no wrong answers.
I won't mind if you pick his,but he will mind if you pick
mine.
I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Oh my gosh, this is
so hard.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
We told you, we
warned you, we warned you.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
The once a month
thing is really hard.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
I'll be honest with
everyone out there as well.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
You have to plan that
A hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
If, josh, if this was
like even five days a week, I
would have gone for this, youknow, within a heartbeat,
absolute heartbeat, but it's theonce a month that kills me.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
Yeah, but it just
tells you how special it is.
You know they just they don'twant people just wandering.
I believe it used to be open.
People would just show up, yeah, yeah, like it used to be open,
yeah, and people would be like,and basically they were
trespassing.
So they were like, okay, peopleare trespassing.
We got to make this official,let's open it up to the public
yeah, yeah, no, that's fairenough.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
And you think about
two people being people?
They'd be jumping all over it,it'd be crumbling down.
You know people don't lookafter this sort of stuff either.
For photos, yeah, instagram.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
So right, and and got
, and if you drove by it, yeah,
I would stop anyway.
Oh, yeah, be like.
Hey, I'd be okay.
I know you're not open.
Can I just get a couplepictures?
And, I'm sure, the outside fromthe outside you never I could
talk my way into anything.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
I know, I know Well.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
I couldn't get into
the duct tape factory.
Remember that.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Including Courtney's
mind right now.
So, Courtney, it's up to you.
It's up to you.
Which one are you going for thepaper?
Speaker 3 (29:54):
house.
I'm going with the paper house,but it's really only because of
availability.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yes, yes, that is a
big upset.
That is 22 and 11.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
That is.
That is an upset, but there's areason for the upset.
It's like in the real MarchMadness Josh, when the actual
point guard, the realheavy-hitting point guard,
twists his ankle halfway throughthe game.
That's what it was like.
That wasn't predictable.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
If I see a sign that
says cool attraction here and I
go to the cool attraction andthen I can't actually go do it
or see it.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, yeah, see, good
point.
It is a good point, josh, youmust admit that.
So anyway, moving on, who havewe got next, josh?
Who have we got next?
Speaker 2 (30:33):
All right.
The next one is I believe youversus me, craig.
Another matchup, it's 21.
Yeah 21, which is monkey islandcrystal river, monkey island in
homa sasa, florida monkeyisland.
Yeah, yeah, yeah yes andagainst, yeah, against.
(30:54):
This is this will be a toughone against the blue whale of
casatoosa in casatoosa, oklahoma.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
This is an easy one
for me.
This is an easy one for me.
Did you is an easy one for me?
Did you want to start offsaying yours is seated lower,
josh?
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Sure, I'll start off.
So this is an island where youcan kayak.
This is what is really coolabout it.
This is an adventure, and a lotof the ones I picked I wanted
them to be kind of experiential,like interactive in some way.
Experiential, like, uh,interactive in some way.
So this is actually an islandthat you can rent a kayak or
(31:28):
bring a kayak to, and you kayakto this island and this island
has like five monkeys on it, oh,that you could just check out
and just like see they're,they're stuck on this island and
it's like a.
It's like, basically, you floatto a little island, that's a
zoo wait, are they like behindbarriers, or can they come up?
No, they're just free roaming.
(31:49):
They're on the island.
I mean, they're captive, Ithink, on the island.
They can't swim off of it.
But yeah, they're just freeroaming on this island.
It's a small island so you canactually, when you float up to
it, you can actually see, seethe monkeys all over on this
Island.
I just thought it was supercool that, um an interactive,
that you can go visit thesemonkeys.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
And then you become a
.
You know what's it called the,the victim one, you know.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Well, here's the
thing.
Here's the thing.
You can't go on.
You can't go on the Island.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
You have to stay.
You have to stay in your boat.
Speaker 3 (32:25):
That makes sense.
So you float on the island.
You have to stay in your boat.
How can I have the monkeys if Ihave to stay in the boat?
Speaker 1 (32:27):
You can't touch the
monkeys.
You can't touch them.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
That's why I was
asking if they were behind
barriers.
I was thinking the monkeys aregoing to come up and be like hey
, high five.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
I wonder how close
you can get.
They're cute monkeys.
They're caption monkeys.
Yeah, you can watch them playum, but they're, they're cute
monkeys, they're caption captionmonkeys, yeah, yeah, and you
can watch them play and interactfrom the boats or from the dock
okay, actually, so um and it'sa beautiful area.
The home of the home of sasasprings wildlife state park is
right there.
Great fan for families, relax,family friendly and educational.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
So that's my entry
crystal river, monkey island
okay, okay, makes sense, butmine, josh, mine is the is an og
.
It is an original roadsideattraction.
This one here was part of theoriginal, original route 66.
It actually is officially has aroute 66 roadside attraction
(33:21):
original sign out the front.
It's wismical, it is a bluewhale, like a huge blue whale.
It's halfway in the water,halfway out of the water.
People used to stop there allthe time because this is built
I'm talking 1970s.
This was built itself as well.
So back in the 1970s, peopleused to stop there as part of
the Route 66 route and have apicnic, et cetera as well, and
(33:43):
then after that, they then stoppeople from going on it because,
as always just like your one,josh, as well people start
ruining things as well.
So you can't actually swimthere anymore and you can't go
on it.
But it is 80 foot long.
He is smiling with a big, widesmile.
He does still have a slide anda diving platform, but, as I
said, you can't actually use itanymore because it is falling
into disrepair.
(34:03):
And then locals locals, joshrestored it and then today it
remains a quirky, photo worthystop for travelers on the Mother
Road, and I've been there, I'vegot a video on it.
I've got photos of it too, soI've been there.
It is officially a roadsideattraction, an original roadside
(34:24):
attraction.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
And there's a
geocache there.
There is.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Which is pretty cool
too, and a big ammo can too.
So they're the two.
Josh, I'm proudly going to sayI'm voting for the blue whale
over the monkeys any day of theweek.
What about you?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Yeah, it's tough.
This is a tough matchup.
I'm going to vote for yours.
I'm voting for the blue whale.
It is the epitome of a roadsideattraction.
I've never been there, but I'vewanted to be there.
I actually gave Minnesota Boy ahard time because we got close
to it.
I was like Tim, let's go to theblue whale.
And he's like Josh.
(34:59):
He's like Josh, we don't want togo to the blue.
I was don't want to go to theblue, no.
I was like no, you don'tunderstand, we got to go the
blue way.
He's like no, we're not good,and so then?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
then now he regrets
it after he's seen pictures and
videos of it.
Wow, um, so there we go.
Well, portland is excited now.
She doesn't have to.
Even I don't have to vote.
She doesn't have to vote.
You can vote, but you have tovote because it you still have
to vote.
It's good to know if it'sbecause this might influence
later.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
You know that true.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
Is it a three-way?
Is it a three-way or do youthink the monkeys outweigh the
original roadside attraction ofthe big blue whale on Route 66?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
You can't go against
the OG.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
There we go.
I knew it.
I knew it Just quickly as well.
Josh, you ready for this?
My visit to this attraction wasaccidental.
It was just along, literally.
It was literally along theroadside, and I was driving past
I saw the sign for it aheadblue whale and I remember
talking to you about it andtalking to Tim, and I went what
(35:54):
blue whale is that here?
I didn't even know it was there.
So for me, josh, it this was atrue roadside attraction.
I didn't even know it was thereuntil I came upon it.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
so, yes, that's like
last year.
Last year, when I came upon thecabazon dinosaurs the pb herman
dinosaurs.
I did I knew about them, but II drove by them.
I'm like oh my gosh, it's them.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Yeah, yeah, exactly,
exactly all right.
What do we got next, josh?
What do we have next?
Speaker 2 (36:17):
all right, this one
is going to be courtney versus
the patrons oh, we got, we'vegot a patron one.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
Oh no, oh, yes so
number 20.
Speaker 2 (36:27):
Number 20 is Gorilla
Holding a VW Bug.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
It's that one.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Where I don't know?
Is that Vermont?
I think it's in Vermont.
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, Againstthe Museum of Bad Art which,
Craig, we've talked about on ourmuseum episode.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
We did, we did,
absolutely did, exactly.
Well, josh, do you want me totalk about the which one's
seeded lower?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
The lower seed is the
gorilla holding the UW.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
Okay, I'll talk about
the gorilla first.
It's actually in Leicester,vermont, josh.
This one, it's Queen Connie,gorilla and the Beetle.
And this gorilla itself is I'mgoing to gonna say roughly it's
it's gonna be around two storieshigh, including the bug itself.
It is standing.
It's standing up, the gorillastanding up, and he's got one
hand directly up in the air, noteven bending at the elbow, and
(37:15):
there's a real, actualvolkswagen beetle on top of his
hand.
The other hand is facing lowand down, but it's cupped up,
and so a lot of people, when,when they stop here, they get
photos it's a huge photoopportunity.
They get photos of actuallysitting on his hand with the
V-dub above their head.
So that is it from there.
(37:36):
It was done in 1987 by a guycalled Neil, and he's got some
other stuff around the area aswell, but in Leicester, vermont,
it is so Queen Connie, gorillaand Beetle.
So that's what it is this isyours, Courtney.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Oh, I'm kind of
excited about this one the
Museum of Bad.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Art, the Museum of
Bad Art.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
It's in Boston,
Massachusetts.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
It's inside a brewery
in Boston.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Massachusetts.
Oh, look at that, yeah, yeah,yeah.
So now we know why you actuallypicked it.
So tell us more about this onehere.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
So it is dedicated to
the collection, exhibition and
celebration of art that wouldnot be welcomed in a traditional
art museum.
So they, they are artisticpieces of work.
It's not just that somebodydrew like a stick figure and
toss it up on a wall and saidadmire my art.
Um, they, they do find a way ofsaying like this is sincerely
(38:38):
art that has gone wrong in somekind of compelling way that
still makes it interesting tolook at.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
It's just a little
weird a little weird and we look
quirky.
We did, uh we did feature thisone courtney on a couple
episodes ago now, when we'retalking about our our weird,
quirky museums across the us,and this one featured in that as
well, and so, uh, if anyonelistened to that show and looked
at the photos from that,they'll see exactly what you're
talking about.
But yeah, apparently it wasstarted because some guy found
(39:03):
some art in some rubbish dump ora tip what do you call it like
a garbage truck or whatever, andthen decided to collect it and
put it up.
I think that's the reason whyhow it started.
So that's really cool.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Yeah, they've been
around since 1994 in a variety
of different places and rightnow they're in the dorchester
brewing company in boston wow,wow, and it's.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
It's at a brewery too
.
So that's, that's up there too,josh.
What do you think?
Speaker 2 (39:28):
I'm looking at some
of the bad art.
There's one picture that iscalled.
It's called the ugliestportrait of john f kennedy.
It's just him eating an icecream cone and his face is just
all crunched up.
I know.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Alright, let's vote
Alright.
So, Courtney, you decide first.
Who are you going to vote forfirst?
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Well, I'm voting for
my own because I really want to
go there and have a beer andwalk around admiring bad art.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
No, that's fair
enough, josh, you're up next.
That's fair enough, josh,you're up next.
What are you thinking?
Speaker 2 (40:06):
I'm going to the
Museum of Bad Art because I
would say the gorilla is alsobad art.
It's just one thing.
This is a lot of bad things.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
So the more the
better for Josh.
But patrons, if you'relistening out there, and
especially, I can't remember whoselected this One of our
patrons just actually selectedthis too.
Remember, patrons selected this.
I would have voted for thegorilla because I feel like it
is actually again a realroadside attraction where you
drive up upon it and go what thehell is this?
And I'm going to go stop andI'm going to get a photo.
(40:32):
You can sit in the gorilla'shand and get a photo.
So for our patrons out there,don't worry, I've got your back,
even though Josh doesn't, butthat's okay.
That's okay.
So, all right, josh, you've gotthat one down now.
So that is the Museum of BadArt has beaten the gorilla
holding the Volkswagen.
Who have we got up next, mate?
Who's?
Speaker 2 (40:49):
up next.
All right, this is fascinating.
Yeah, we got 19 versus 14.
Oh, 19 is the Monster Mart.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Who owns that one?
Speaker 2 (40:59):
Which is some sort of
.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
That's mine.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Some sort of market.
This is Courtney's, courtney'sAgainst the Unclaimed Baggage
Center.
What the and whose is that?
Speaker 1 (41:10):
one.
Whose is that one?
That's mine, oh no, okay.
So which is the higher ratedone of those two?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
The higher rated one
is the unclaimed baggage center,
so the Monster Mart has to gofirst.
Speaker 3 (41:24):
Yeah, Monster Mart
goes first.
So away you go.
Courtney, Monster Mart, give usyour details.
The Monster Mart is in Folk Ithink I'm pronouncing it right
Folk, Arkansas.
There was a docudrama horrormovie that came out in 1972 that
was about a monster in thatarea that looked kind of like a
big Sasquatch, essentially.
So they did this docudrama withall of these fake interviews
(41:52):
and news articles and, like thismonster that's been terrorizing
the area, monster mart.
That is kind of dedicated tothe legend of this creature and
they're selling like memorabiliathings and just a funny little
place to stop very, very cool.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
I'm looking at it now
and, yeah, it's exactly what it
is.
It's a big, actual market area,but it's all dedicated to like
bigfoot sort of style.
So if you're a bigfoot fanbecause I know there's people
out there then this is yourplace to stop.
I mean, let alone've got theBigfoot on top of the roof there
with the big Monster Mart signand then inside you can even do
you know, josh, you know thosewooden cardboard not cardboard
(42:26):
the wooden cutouts where you putyour face in the middle.
Yes, you can get those onesdone too, where you can put your
face or get your kids, put yourkids in the faces there and do
those good photos for the kidsas well.
It looks actually really,really cool to see and it'd be a
fun place to visit and goinside.
Lots of trinkets as well, lotsof souvenirs to buy too.
Again, if you're part of thatfan club, that Bigfoot fan club,
(42:47):
josh then this would be a placefor you.
All right, josh, what's yourone now?
What's your one?
Speaker 2 (42:52):
Well, first of all I
want to say, courtney, have you
ever been in Treasure City inMinnesota?
No, it looks like Treasure City, which is just all this random
weird stuff.
Anyway, mine is also down inthe south.
It is the Unclaimed BaggageCenter in Scottsboro, alabama.
This is called the UltimateTreasure Hunt, where they have
(43:17):
all kinds of lost airlineluggage for sale surprises,
people that have lost theirluggage and they don't claim it.
It goes to this store and youcan go there and you can
actually shop there.
And it's not just junk.
I mean, when you, when you losesomething, I mean they had some
luxury items, they have somedesigner brands, electronics,
(43:40):
there's weird and wacky things,there's some rare things.
In there.
There's actually a museum ofreally amazing things that they
found, like a basketball signedby Michael Jordan, all this sort
of stuff.
You can watch live unboxings,so you can sit down and they
have like a suitcase or whateverthat has just come in and they
(44:01):
open it in front of the crowd tojust to have them watch what
was in somebody's lost luggage.
Um, so they don't even know.
It's kind of like.
So it's kind of like I don'tknow unearthing, like a geocache
.
It's like a surprise every time.
Speaker 3 (44:15):
So it's like a thrift
shop mixed with a treasure hunt
, mixed with a museum theunclaimed baggage do they do
like storage war style wherethey show you like this is the
suitcase, we're not going totell you what's inside and you
don't fit on it.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Yeah, that's what it
is.
That's what it is, that'sexactly what it is, that's
exactly
Speaker 3 (44:31):
what you're not like
you're not, you're they don't
open them.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
No, no I thought you
were chopping individual items
no, you can do that too, there'sstuff that there's stuff that
is open, but they actually have.
Uh, you can watch stuff beingopen treasure or literally
storage, wars, yeah, storagewars style exactly.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
I'm looking at
through as on as we speak as
well, and again I will say thatactually, no, no, sorry.
Firstly, josh, who are youvoting for in regards to this?
What these two?
Speaker 2 (44:56):
I what you're going
to say.
You're going to say oh,courtney's is more of a roadside
attraction.
Although I know for a fact.
I'm saying who are you votingfor, Josh?
Well, I'm just saying this fora fact.
This is science.
This is an attraction.
People will be drawn towards it.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
They'll drive by it
on an interstate that was.
I did see that and thoughtabout putting it on my list, but
I'm sticking.
Speaker 3 (45:27):
I'm going to stick
with my monster mart this time
and I'm going to put you in theuncomfortable position of having
to pick.
Speaker 1 (45:32):
Yes, that's fine, and
I am quite uncomfortable with
this one.
And I will say this right Inmaking my decision I do look at
both.
I look at both on the internet.
I look at both as terms ofwhat's a roadside attraction,
josh, I had patrons come up tome at Bama Rama patrons more
than one and talk to me atlength in regards to what is
their version of a roadsideattraction.
(45:54):
Now, if, if I was to not lookat all at photos and, just, you
know, go off what you two say,then I would have automatically
picked courtney's, becausecourtney's sounds more like an
actual roadside attraction.
There's the big, uh, the bigfoot itself is at the front and
it's very quirky sort of style.
There's little trinkets, etc.
But yours, josh, is not it.
(46:15):
I'll repeat, this is not just awarehouse.
There's actually things whereat the front where you can get
photos taken, you see, so youcan actually take photos and
selfies with an actual bigluggage like a big suitcase out
the front that is true, I forgotto mention that.
For me, see, I do my researchtoo and, as I I said before, I
(46:36):
am fair Josh.
And so for that reason and thatreason alone, I am picking Josh
, because I like the idea andthe geocaching feel to this one.
But that wouldn't have got meover the edge, except for that
big luggage out the front whichis its own little roadside
attraction you can get a photowith.
Speaker 3 (46:54):
See, I'm a photo guy,
I'm not mad about it.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
I'm a photo guy.
I like having photos asmemories with these places you
go to.
So so there you go.
Josh is happy now too, becauseyou beat courtney for once.
So that's good.
What do we got next, josh?
Which one we got next?
Come on, all right, let's go.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
We've got 18 versus
15.
18 is yours.
It's hole in rock.
I believe in you in utah, yesyes, yes against patrons number
15, which is the check egg inwilson kansas how do you feel
about?
Speaker 1 (47:23):
going up against the
patrons I know, I know well, you
know I will go up against thepatrons on this one, like I we.
I said before I'm gonna be fair.
All right, this one's calledhole in the rock.
It's in moab, utah and josh.
I have been there, except Ididn't actually stop I didn't
realize what it was.
so, as I was driving up, it'sactually a big hole in the rock
(47:47):
and it says, on the big side ofthe rock, hole in the rock.
And I thought to myself, oh yep, I can see there's a hole in
the rock under that.
I had a laugh to myself andthat was it.
I kept driving, and the reasonfor it is because I was driving
south at the time and you got togo around the corner and then I
would have missed the turnbecause the turn itself is on
the left and I kind of missedthe turn.
I didn't see what it was about.
But it is 5,000 square foot home.
(48:09):
It is carved into a massivesandstone rock.
It was built in 1940s and withit as well, there's all
hand-carved furniture inside.
Now you can go in.
It is a quirky roadsideattraction.
It has a small zoo, it hassouvenirs, it has art, it has
engineering.
Now and this is why I'm reallykicking myself for not stopping
(48:30):
and I will stop next time itfeatures all these small little
I call them punny sculpturesaround.
So, for instance, there's agiant lizard.
It's a lizard sculpture doneout of metal and stone, et
cetera as well.
There's a huge rocking chair,because it's a chair made of
rock, so it's classed as arocking chair.
Ha ha ha ha.
There's a two-story outhouse,like a two-story toilet, and the
(48:54):
miners are on the ground floor,but then the miner miners boss
is above them, you see.
So it's oh yep, so he's uh,pooping on the ones below
there's a jailhouse rock andthat, in other words, is it like
a quite a football size rockthat's literally in a jail in
the middle of like you can tripover it like.
It's called jailhouse rock, sothings like that.
Josh a ufo there's a mad ufojust sitting there as well.
(49:16):
It was a metal flying saucer.
So for me, I am kicking myselfbecause it is very punny.
It is a very cool roadsideattraction.
It is really cool to actuallyget photos in several locations
around and you probably couldspend an easy hour, two hours,
getting all the stuff here atthe hole in the rock.
So that's where it is.
Moab in Utah.
Speaker 2 (49:35):
Okay, well, I guess I
will go through the Czech egg,
which we've talked about in thelast episode, and do we have the
notes from?
Speaker 1 (49:46):
that, craig?
I don't see them in our shownotes.
No, no, no, no, no, you didn'tput them in.
No, I didn't put them in there,so you've got to look it up,
okay.
Speaker 2 (49:51):
I'll go off memory.
This is literally in the middleof kansas.
It is what you think it is.
It is a gigantic eggbeautifully decorated in the
checkly, checkly, checkly.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
I can't say it.
Speaker 2 (50:05):
Thank you, that was a
hard one to get out.
Style, style of art, yep, yep,yep.
It has a beautiful, a beautiful, like canopy over to protect it
.
It is, I think it's like over20 feet tall.
Yeah, it is.
It is a sight to behold,certainly, certainly a roadside
attraction, I mean it is theworld's largest check egg.
(50:27):
I don't know if it's the world'slargest egg, but it's the
world's largest check, exactly,exactly, and it's art.
It's also epic.
It's a.
It's a great photo opportunity.
There's a lot of history behindit.
It represents the history ofthe area, of the people that
immigrated over here to Wilson,kansas, and it's on the way to
(50:50):
Mingo.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
That's another thing
for geocachers.
Josh is checking it all inthere.
I will say and, as I saidbefore, I am very, very honest
and that is, I feel, personally,I am voting for the hole in the
rock only for the simple reasonis the amount of things that
you can see, do, photograph, etc.
But the check egg for me itcomes a very, very close second
place because, as you saidbefore, it is a world's largest
(51:14):
thing.
Um, it is a really cool lookingitem, but it is just literally
one item.
So you know, they are bothtechnically roadside attractions
, they're both on roads that youdrive past, that sort of thing
as well.
So, yeah, but I'm still goingfor the hole in the rock, josh,
for that reason.
Speaker 2 (51:29):
I have a question
before I vote.
Yes, is this rock?
I'm looking at the picture.
Is it like a fake rock that yougo inside of the rock?
Speaker 1 (51:37):
picture.
Is it like a fake rock thatthat you go inside of the rock?
It's a real rock, it's a realrock, like a real monolith rock,
like actually a real monolithrock.
Speaker 2 (51:41):
So they had and
there's stuff just built around
it.
Speaker 1 (51:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
built around it itself.
So you can probably see fromthe photo that I put in the show
notes.
You see it says hole in therock and this is this is my
problem.
This is the only problem I havewith it.
I was coming from the wrongdirection and so I saw, saw that
hole in the rock sign, but itwas smaller on the other side,
and I saw literally a hole inthe rock.
I went, oh yeah, hole in therock.
That's funny, that's it Keptdriving Unbeknownst to me.
I went around the corner andit's on the other side of the
(52:05):
rock.
If I had been coming northinstead of south, I would have
absolutely stopped there becauseI would have seen it all.
It's all on the ground, but youcan actually go inside because
the uh, the house, the rock rockhouse itself is actually on the
inside, but it is a real rock,monolith rock so yeah, it's an
earth cache too there we gothere we go.
I'm giving that to the I'mlooking at it.
Speaker 2 (52:28):
There is a little
house built into the rock too.
Speaker 1 (52:31):
Yeah, it's really
cool.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
Yep, that's what it
is all right, I'm good can vote,
or do you want Courtney to?
Speaker 1 (52:37):
vote no.
You vote next because you dothe check.
Speaker 2 (52:40):
I'm doing Hole in
Rock.
Oh yes, it looks really cool.
I really want to visit thisplace.
Speaker 3 (52:45):
It is a roadside.
Speaker 2 (52:46):
It's really quirky,
it's funny.
Yes, it's punny.
Yes, hole in Rock.
Speaker 1 (52:52):
The jailhouse rock
Courtney, who would you have
voted for out of those two?
Speaker 3 (52:54):
I was also going to
do Hole in Rock again because I
had looked at that and thoughtabout putting it on my list and
I think I might have had it onthe first draft of my list and
it got cut somehow.
But really I don't know that itshould have been cut because it
looks really cool.
Speaker 1 (53:09):
Yeah, yeah, I mean,
as I said, and for me, I'm
seriously kicking myself becauseI literally drove past it.
So there we go well, all right,you'll get back I know, I know,
I know, I will absolutely well,what do we got next to us?
What do we get next?
All right, this is gonna be theclosest two so far to me
personally.
Speaker 2 (53:27):
Okay, speaking of
close yeah this next one is 16
versus 17 16 doesn't get anydoesn't get any closer than that
.
Speaker 3 (53:33):
This is a real toss
up.
I don't want to vote on this.
Speaker 2 (53:36):
We've got 17.
I can tell you already Number17 is Enchanted Forest Park in
Oregon, against number 16, beerCan House in Houston, texas.
Speaker 1 (53:49):
Oh, no, no, no.
So who's got the Enchanted Beer?
Can House is mine.
Speaker 2 (53:55):
Who's got the
Enchanted yeah, enchanted Forest
is mine.
It is 17.
It is the lower seed, so I willtalk about Enchanted Forest
Park.
Yeah, you do.
Okay, I had to watch a YouTubevideo Once.
I watched the YouTube video, ifyou have a chance, just click
on it.
This really is a place that Iwant to visit.
(54:15):
It's a really cheesy Think ofWish or Timu version of Walt
Disney World.
Basically it is so kitschy.
It is basically like anamusement park, but it's very
downscale, cheesy.
So it has storybook characters.
(54:35):
You can walk through fairytales.
You can go cinderella's castle,alice's rabbit hole.
There's uh rides, so there's abobsled coasters, that that goes
through like a mountain.
That has a log flume.
It has a laser blaster, darkride, a spooky haunted house
filled with weird, quirkyanimatronics and jump scares
(54:57):
interactive and hands-off.
You can climb and crawl throughthings.
It's in a beautiful forest,like.
The setting is actuallybeautiful.
It's actually in the oregonlush hillside, so it's in a
beautiful location.
People know about this becausethere's just cheesy sign after
cheesy sign as you you make yourway towards the enchanted
forest park in oregon now josh,one question I got before I
(55:20):
start with mine.
Speaker 1 (55:21):
Technically, is this
a theme park?
Speaker 2 (55:24):
yeah, yes it is, but
it's only open like during, like
I think, the summer, summermonths oh, so it's very like,
like the wisconsin ducks ifyou're driving, driving past
during the winter, then youcan't even visit, so just saying
.
Anyway, I'm going to move onfrom mine, but it's open more
than one day, craig.
Speaker 1 (55:45):
Courtney picked up
exactly what I was putting down.
Yeah, no, josh, I'll start thisone here the Beer Can House.
Now, the Beer Can House islocated in Houston, texas.
This's exactly where I am rightnow as we record this podcast
and where I've been for the lastweek.
Now, josh, I had to do someresearch for this show and the
Beer Can House in Houston was onmy list.
(56:06):
I looked at itself and then, asI drove into Houston, I picked
up our good friend, rob Vardaman, who's the president of Munzee.
As we said before, him and I,josh, we visited this exact
roadside attraction last week.
It was a personal museum whereyou can walk in through the
house.
The house is open, uh, fromfive days a week.
(56:27):
Open five days a week.
Speaker 2 (56:29):
It is is purely wait,
you're saying that it closes
sometimes it actually closes?
I don't know what if I'mdriving by and it's closed?
Speaker 1 (56:36):
sometimes you can
still get photos at the front
because there's lots of museumparts there.
And, josh, I will say this whenyou come to houston next week,
when you come, you and I, I'mtaking you there now.
I'll take you kicking andscreaming.
Even if you go, you know what,craig, I don't want to see it.
I don't want to see it.
I'm so angry that I did, Ipicked it and I don't want to
see it.
I'm still going to take youkicking and screaming to see it,
because this house itself isadorned with over 50,000 beer
(57:00):
cans.
It's been transformed into ashimmering art piece.
The owner itself, over twodecades long.
There was a husband and wife.
Now the wife used to and I gotthis now.
I got this firsthand from themuseum curator.
The wife used to go off to workand that's when he would do all
his work behind the sceneswithout her even knowing he
would actually cut out the tincans.
(57:20):
So he'd collect them all.
He'd put them all up in theattic.
She didn't even know they wereup there until the attic was
almost caving in and she's likewhat's up there?
He's like oh, they're my cans.
What are you collecting thosefor?
He said originally again it wasfor, like, the thermal
insulation on the house.
So he'd cut them up and he'dflatten them out.
So he'd keep the top and he'dkeep the bottom and he'd keep
the ring pulls and he'd flattenthem out and he'd put them all
(57:41):
along the actual house, the flatpart, all along the house, all
the layers, the top and thebottom.
He would then and the ringpulls, he would then put them
together like a wind chimesgoing down the sides of the
house from the awnings and theychime in the wind, any little
bit of wind swaying, and you canhear them from a mile away.
So his name is John MikulsvichI really killed that, but he's
(58:04):
from the 1960s itself.
The entire house is in flattenedbeer cans, bottle caps, pull
tabs.
It is a shimmering wind chimingmasterpiece that reflects for
his for beer creativity and isnow actually preserved by the
Orange Show Centre.
So it is an absolutemasterpiece.
You will see it when you getthere, josh.
You can go inside.
(58:24):
So it is actually technically amuseum and it is kept open five
days a week for anyone whowants to go and see it.
I even bought the T-shirt, josh.
I bought a T-shirt while I wasthere.
So, yes, that is it there, theBeer Can House.
And again we can ask a goodfriend, rob Bartman, what his
thoughts were of it too.
Speaker 2 (58:44):
Wow, you've talked
about that a long time.
Speaker 1 (58:46):
One more thing.
One more thing.
It's free.
The entry is free too, so freeentry for the museum.
Speaker 2 (58:51):
Okay, yeah, there you
go, all right, and I think
you're pandering to our brewerypodcast, friend, by the way.
Speaker 1 (59:00):
It is sponsored by
the local brewery, so it is free
for all entry, because thelocal brewery actually pay for
the curators and that too.
So, oh, look at that.
So there we go, josh.
Who are you voting for?
Speaker 2 (59:13):
I am voting for the
Beer Can House.
Speaker 3 (59:16):
I'm voting for yours,
Craig.
Thank you Again'm voting foryours, craig.
Speaker 2 (59:17):
Thank you Again on my
honor.
I picked the one I'd rather ifI had to choose.
It's basically for me.
This is how I pick it.
Speaker 1 (59:24):
If I had to choose
which one I'd rather do, that's
the one I'd rather go to, andyou will see it, josh, too, when
you come fly in on Thursday,you and I, we're going to see
this together and you're goingto look and you're going to go.
Craig, I can see why you're soproud.
You're proud of this house, soI obviously picked the beer can
house and Courtney, what aboutyou?
Speaker 3 (59:40):
Since you both picked
the beer can house, I can
safely and not feel bad aboutsaying I'm picking the Enchanted
Forest.
Speaker 1 (59:52):
Shoot.
Oh, wow, wow.
Speaker 3 (59:55):
Tim is going to be so
disappointed in you, courtney,
I might be disappointed inmyself because the beer can
house looks so cool and I wouldgo there in a heartbeat and I'm
going to be really upset whenyou guys are there and like
experience and all that.
But the Enchanted Forest islike everything I want in life.
It reminds me so, josh.
In the Dells there was a placethat was called Storybrooke
(01:00:15):
Gardens and this reminds me alittle bit about that where
you've got all these storybookfable kinds of themes and
everything going on.
It just looks so cute and it'sin Oregon in the forest Wow.
Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
Yes, oregon is a
great place to visit.
It's one of my favorite statesis Oregon.
Yes, it's funny that, cordy,you mentioned the Storybook
Gardens in Wisconsin Dells.
When I was a child we visitedthere and my brother
accidentally turned on one ofthe sprinklers and got Little Bo
Peep completely wet and cussedout my brother.
(01:00:51):
He was five years old, littleBo Peep cussed out my brother.
She broke character.
Speaker 3 (01:01:01):
She broke character
character.
My parents were so mad, wowisn't that funny.
Speaker 2 (01:01:03):
That's wild.
Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
Wow, that's funny wow
, one thing I will say that's a
probably a negative to the beercan house, and that is, with a
little bit of wind, I would notwant to be their neighbors.
And they have plenty ofneighbors around, like new, new
condo sort of neighbors aroundit.
It's a lot of noise.
Speaker 3 (01:01:18):
It's a lot of noise
in the week you did a really
good job selling it, Greg youdid a great job selling it.
Speaker 1 (01:01:24):
Thank you.
They're going to be proudbecause they'll listen to the
show too.
I'll say that too, so all right, next one.
What do we have next, josh?
Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
Are we finished?
All right, we are now.
Yeah, we are now done withround one.
Now we're in the round twobracket, but we do have one more
competition.
That is two that we have nottalked about yet, and that is
nine versus eight.
Nine versus eight how close isthat?
Number nine, number nine,wisconsin's Wyoming, wisconsin's
house on the rock, ooh, ooh,okay.
Against number eight, mysteryspot, which I believe is yours,
(01:02:00):
craig.
I believe that is in California, that's mine.
Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
Yeah, Mystery Spot's
mine, oh wow.
Speaker 2 (01:02:05):
So the lower seat is
House on the Rock.
Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
House on the Rock is
Spring Green.
Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
Wisconsin.
Speaker 1 (01:02:09):
Go ahead.
Courtney Talk about House onthe Rock and you're up against
me, Courtney.
Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Well, this is another
.
I, regrettably, have never beento House on the Rock.
I feel like it is a place thateverybody in Wisconsin goes to
at some point and I've neverbeen, and it's ridiculous.
I need to just go there.
It is this amazing house thatis built up on this rock and the
research that I was doing forit.
(01:02:34):
I've never looked into thisbefore, but apparently there was
a guy, alex, and he had somekind of discussion with Frank
Lloyd Wright where he wasidolizing Frank Lloyd Wright and
showed him some plans that hehad to build a house.
And Frank Lloyd Wright said Iwouldn't hire you to design a
cheese grate or a chicken coop,you're not capable.
So he took that and ran with itand said I'm going to put up a
(01:02:59):
Japanese style house on thepinnacle of these rocks and
advertise it and make it thiswhole big thing.
This might be a true story.
It might not be a true story butit seems like a fun story.
Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
It's always a fun
story and, josh, we talk about a
lot of fun stories on thispodcast too.
It's always a fun story and,josh, we talk about a lot of fun
stories on this podcast too.
Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
I would recommend
anybody look up on.
Speaker 3 (01:03:22):
YouTube House on the.
Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
Rock from Wisconsin.
Inside inside this place isinsane.
It is like the weirdest stuffthat you could ever think.
It's kind of like a nightmare,oh, like if you were having a
nightmare, like a really weirdnightmare.
That's what it's like walkingto this place.
Wow.
I have never visited myself,but the YouTube videos I have
(01:03:45):
Josh, let's go.
Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
I have almost visited
, let's go, but I ran out of
time I know House on the Rock iseverybody talks about it too.
So there's an infinity roomthat extends, like just out in
the air, 218 feet over thisbeautiful scenic valley, and
it's got 3000 pieces of glass onit and it also since I know you
guys like this kind of thing italso has the world's largest
(01:04:09):
indoor carousel.
What?
269 animals, it's wild 20,000lights, 182 chandeliersandeliers
, like there's, it's a wholething there's.
You can do all these differenttours of the house.
There's three different kindsof tours.
You can do like phase one.
You could do phase one and two.
You could do phase one, two andthree.
You've got options.
(01:04:30):
You can see everything.
Speaker 2 (01:04:31):
You can see just a
little bit yeah, well, yeah, you
have to like have three hoursto get through this.
I've been told to get throughall of it well.
Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
In saying that,
though I think these two are not
only close match up in terms ofseating, but they're close
match up in terms of what theyactually are as well.
I'm not sure if you guys haveheard of the mystery spot in
santa cruz, california.
It's the same type of thing,like it's an actual house and
village area, but this one here,it is a gravitational anomaly.
Anomaly which basically meansis that you can't.
(01:05:02):
You can't see things the waythey normally are, so things
will roll uphill along thisparticular building.
So it's a phenomena, so youcan't.
It changes your wholeperception of physics and
reality.
It is listed one of the mostfamous roadside attractions in
the us.
Since 1940, visitors have beenbaffled by its unusual like
stature itself and all theobjects appearing has especially
(01:05:24):
rolling uphill.
That's the biggest thing theyhave is rolling uphill.
But they also have a, a guidewhich stands people, because I
watched the video for it.
A guide will stand people alonga house and all of a sudden
they'll swap out with the twoedge people and all of a sudden
one person grows, the other onegets shorter.
Like how can people grow andget shorter instantaneously?
And that's what happens.
So it's the same sort of thinghere in terms of your house
(01:05:47):
style, like it's a weird lookinghouse but, uh, great for photos
as well, you can.
You can basically almost stand,uh, on a 45 degree angle, josh,
on a chair inside this house,and you're not falling over,
you're actually standingstraight up, but you're actually
on the 45 still, so it's very,very fun.
It's very much a mystery.
There's lots of YouTube videosout there on this one too and a
(01:06:09):
mind bending experience, so thisis going to be a hard one to
decide.
Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
Is it, though?
I feel like there's a lot ofmystery spots.
There's mystery spots inWisconsin Dells, where you just
were.
Speaker 2 (01:06:18):
This is true.
Wisconsin Dells has the exactsame thing when these it's built
, all it is.
I mean it is cool.
I'll just say it is cool, it'sfunny.
Speaker 3 (01:06:30):
But the houses are
built in a way it's using
gravity.
Speaker 1 (01:06:34):
It's using gravity to
make it look weird.
Let's move on.
Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
Next, the Midwest
ganged up on the.
Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
Aussie yeah, my vote
is house Put the house on the
rock through Easy done.
Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
Next one we have.
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
It's been over an
hour already.
You didn't even let Courtney.
I know what my vote is.
Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
She knew exactly what
her vote was and, just for the
record, my vote only because ofmy research in it, and I hadn't
seen them anywhere else aroundthe US apart from this one here
in California.
I don't know why in my research, but I would have voted for
that one because of my researchmore so than anything else.
Yeah, that's all.
Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:07:20):
I do recommend, craig
, because House on the rock will
be up again.
I recommend maybe just watch alittle bit of youtube.
You're the youtuber, josh.
Speaker 3 (01:07:24):
I look at photos and
you're gonna be kind of driving
through wisconsin later thissummer so you could I'll come.
I'll come meet you there, I'llgrab josh, all three of us can
go.
Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
It'll be great the
australians a house on the rock,
yeah, yeah, and then I canliterally push Josh off the high
glass.
Speaker 3 (01:07:41):
I don't know about
that?
Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
what do we got next?
Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
Josh, we're up to
alright, now, from now on, every
single one we mention is.
Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
We've already
mentioned some of these.
We haven't mentioned no Ishould say no.
Speaker 2 (01:07:55):
I should not say that
we haven't mentioned so well I
know I should say no.
I should not say that wehaven't mentioned some of these
but they're going up.
Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
They're going up
against ones we've already
mentioned.
Speaker 2 (01:08:02):
Yeah, yeah, yes, so
number one.
It's going to be number oneversus number 16.
Speaker 1 (01:08:07):
Okay, this is not
fair.
This is not fair.
Speaker 2 (01:08:18):
This I'm going to.
This is not fair.
This wasn't seated properly.
What have we got, josh?
What have we got?
Yeah?
Number one number one is theeartha, world's largest globe
against the beer can house.
Now eartha is is a patron it isa patron choice.
It got voted.
It got voted the most times bythe patrons, which made it
number one.
Now this is the old building wetalked about in the last
(01:08:41):
podcast.
This is the old building of theDelorme map company, now owned
by Garmin, who makes GPS devices, and inside of it is a gigantic
moving spinning globe.
Inside it is exactly as youimagine.
It lights up from the outside.
You can drive by this thing andit is a beautiful sight indoors
(01:09:04):
.
And also there's a, becauseit's a draw.
It's a draw for geocachers.
There's a whole case filledwith geocoins that you can
discover.
This is a geocacher.
Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
It's got a diameter
of 41 feet 18 inches, which is
12 and a half meters.
It weighs 5,600 pounds, whichis 2,540 kilos for the rest of
the world.
And I love the fact with thisone, Josh, as well that it was
originally the headquarters ofDeLorme and now part of Garmin.
But I also, Josh, I love thisone here.
(01:09:35):
It rotates 24-7 and it lightsup at night, so if you're
driving past any time of the day, Monday to Sunday, any time of
the day, it's going to be openfor photos et cetera as well.
Up against the beer can house.
We've already heard about thebeer can house.
I'm going for Eartha, for thisone, I am so sad to vote against
the beer can house two times.
Speaker 3 (01:09:57):
But I'm going Eartha,
that's okay, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
That's okay, I knew
where you're going anyway,
because you hate the beer, canhouse.
No, I love the beer can house,Even though you've got a brewery
adventure podcast you hate beer, can house.
With the brewery the brewery,the brewery adventure podcast
with Courtney Mecca, mn and theMinnesota boy team.
So, anyway, what's the next one?
We have Josh.
Speaker 2 (01:10:19):
All right.
The next one is number fourversus number 13, which is the
bad art museum against Seattle'siconic gum wall.
Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
So we've already
heard, obviously, about your one
, courtney, as well.
So this is going up against theiconic gum wall in Seattle,
washington.
If you haven't heard about thisone, then you're not a
geocacher, because there is ageocache there.
Apparently, it is a fake bit ofgum.
It's an alleyway near PikePlace Market where visitors have
adhered countless pieces of achewing gum to create a colorful
(01:10:54):
and sticky mosaic.
It has been cleaned severaltimes In 2015,.
It was the last cleanup andthey removed ready for this.
They removed 2,000, over 2,000pounds of gum was removed and
then, within six months, it wascovered again.
So it is classed as one of thegermiest yet most beloved
(01:11:16):
roadside attractions in the USA.
Classed as one of the germiestyet most beloved roadside
attractions in the usa.
That's the reason why Iselected the the gum wall in
seattle as a roadside attraction.
As I said, the actual geocachethere.
Well, it's got a good dt ratingtool or good, good difficulty
rating, as well, how many piecesof actual gum do you touch
before?
Speaker 2 (01:11:31):
you find the geocache
as oh you have to wear gloves
so here's the thing I've been tothat gum wall three or four
times I've never found thegeocache.
Speaker 3 (01:11:42):
How much gum did you
touch?
Speaker 2 (01:11:44):
I've DNF'd that.
I just DNF'd it so many times.
I didn't have gloves, I justthought I could spot it.
It's a fake piece.
I'll just say it's a fake pieceof gum.
Speaker 1 (01:11:54):
But it's so amongst
all real gum.
Piece of gum, but it's so.
It's so amongst all real gum.
It's worse.
It's worse trying to find thatthan what is a fake rocket
amongst real rocks.
Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
You know that sort of
thing too, so yeah, so it
smells really good, though itsmells exactly like gum, like
like strawberry gum, it smellsgood it's weird so that that's
gum was going up against thewhich one, the oh, the museum of
bad art the bad art museum well, I'm, I'm, I'm going Gum Wall
for this one.
Speaker 3 (01:12:19):
I'm going with my bad
art because that gum sounds
disgusting.
That's okay.
Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
That's okay, that
makes sense.
It is disgusting but it is kindof cool.
I'm going Gum Wall, yeah, sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
Courtney, sorry,
courtney.
Gum Wall moves on All right, itgets quicker now with these
ones.
Yes.
Speaker 2 (01:12:40):
All right, this one's
going to be tough.
I think.
I think this is going to be atough matchup.
We're going the Blue Whale 12thseed against the Field of
Dreams in Dyersville.
Speaker 1 (01:12:51):
Iowa, the field of
dreams will come.
Yeah, and they did with theBlue Whale.
Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
The Field of Dreams
is mine All right Josh.
What's the field of dreams about?
Tell us about the field ofdreams, all right.
So I've been.
I've been here.
I've been to the field ofdreams two different times, I've
got actually a video of it.
This is the shooting locationof the classic, iconic movie
field of dreams um, theyactually call.
(01:13:16):
It's kind of like a true storyin itself.
They actually cut out abaseball field.
In the middle of a fieldthere's a beautiful little house
and this is where, uh, theghost players.
They come out of the corn andyou can play.
You can, you can run the bases,you can hit, you can throw, you
can play catch with your dad,just like in the movie.
(01:13:37):
There's, of course, there's, ofcourse, a little walkthrough
museum.
Speaker 1 (01:13:43):
There's ghost players
, events, so if you go at a
certain time, they actually havethe ghost players come out of
the corn and they have.
They have an actual, realbaseball game.
Speaker 2 (01:13:55):
It's so popular, some
of these ghosts out of the
field or something.
Do they walk down?
No, no, don't need it.
This place is magical.
Um, I actually, when the videothat I shot, I had my grandma
come out of the corner and finda geocache, so I should put that
that's actually, I think, inthe show notes.
So, um, actually, the like theNew York Yankees, a year of
(01:14:19):
major league baseball, actuallyplays a major league game at the
field of dreams.
It is pretty cool.
It's a peaceful atmosphere.
It's a rural iowa.
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (01:14:24):
It's great, great
place to visit at sunset and
there is a geocache there, ofcourse, and the field of joy
just to let you know, you soldthat more than what I sold the
beer can house, and everyonelistening will understand that
too.
Now and when you listen back,you go josh, you can't, you
can't rat on craig for sellingthe beer can house when you, you
literally had the dreams ofthat field of dreams.
That's the.
That's what you did.
(01:14:45):
So you created your own youpulled out your grandma.
I know, I know he pulled thegrandma card my grandma.
Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
Yep, if you build it.
So I take it you're going fieldof dreams, josh yes, I am going
well dreams I, the blue, whaleit is iconic it is.
Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
But if I had to pick,
if I had to pick josh, you're
gonna go to the yeah fielddreams blue whale I would pick
the I'm going to pick blue whalefor the simple reason is again
a roadside attraction feeling,and also I would like to put
courtney on the spot because youknow she loves being sitting on
that fence of hers.
Speaker 3 (01:15:21):
So I think that's the
real reason.
Speaker 1 (01:15:22):
That's one of the
reasons, one of many.
So, courtney, it's up to youblue whale or field of dreams,
and I'll be honest with you.
If you pick field dreams, I'mnot going to be upset.
If you pick blue whale, joshwill be upset.
Speaker 3 (01:15:32):
So well, here's the
thing, don't tell me how I feel
if I'm driving down the road andit says go left for the blue
whale or go?
Right for field of dreams yeahI'm gonna go right for field of
dreams I knew we're going therethat's my vote.
It's nothing against the bluewhale.
I get that.
Speaker 1 (01:15:51):
It's iconic and I
would absolutely stop for it,
but it's a field of dreams manyeah and, as josh says, if, if
you sell it, they will come Iwill expect josh's grandma to be
walking out of the field,though.
So all right, well, josh, whatdo we got next, mate?
What's next?
Which one?
Which one?
Which one?
Speaker 2 (01:16:11):
all right, we've got
number two versus number 18.
Number number no.
Number two is the Whirly GigPark, which is I don't know
where it is.
I can't remember where it is.
Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
Do you want me to?
Okay, so the hole in the rockis mine, but I can actually do
the Whirly Gig Park if you wantas well.
Sure.
Speaker 2 (01:16:34):
We talked about it in
the last episode.
Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
Craig against Craig.
I know because you know it'sgoing to Courtney.
Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
you need to watch a
video of this.
Speaker 3 (01:16:41):
Yeah, really.
Speaker 2 (01:16:42):
Of world, yes, of
really good park I'm.
I'm going to pull it up in theshow notes so you can see what
it looks like I really liked theworld.
Well, you can't, you can't,vote on it until you've seen it.
No, no, you've got to see itfirst, and you have a little bit
while I'm actually talkingabout it.
Speaker 1 (01:16:57):
It's in Wilson, north
Carolina.
Josh, this was one of ourpatron picks as well, and I do
believe it was Nancy Tivia thatselected this one too.
This one again, I was not goingto vote for last week because I
thought Willow Geek Park, Ithought it might have been
Adventure Park or Tourism Park.
No, it is an actual roadsideattraction, a real fair dinkum
(01:17:17):
roadside attraction in a localpark inside the Wilson in North
Carolina.
It is made up of I don't knowhow many exactly the amount of
whirligigs themselves.
Whirligigs are likewind-related art and motion.
Windmill kind of things.
Exactly, it is open daily Now,daily as well, from 5 am to 12
(01:17:39):
am, so 5 am to midnight, so it'sgoing to be there all the time,
open up itself.
So, um, that's all.
It is one of those areas whereyou have to see it to believe it
.
You have to see it to look atit and to appreciate all the
actual artwork in which it is,and so my vote is going against
the hole in the rock and goingfor the whirligig park.
I'm putting it straight outthere, josh, I'm getting the,
(01:18:00):
I'm getting the whirligig movingyeah, courtney, yep, courtney,
I'm gonna give you time to lookat the video.
Speaker 2 (01:18:05):
It's at the very
bottom of the show notes.
Is the?
Is the link?
Um, yes, the whirligig park isI, I, you know.
I didn't know what it was untilI saw it, and it's art, it's.
It's chaotic, it's, it's a,it's a spectacle.
It's a spectacle.
That's what it is.
It's the best word you can say.
(01:18:25):
It's a park just filled withall these crazy, crazy windmills
going all different directionsand they're all very different.
Um, I think, gosh, hole, holein rock was pretty cool I want
to visit it, but I am too.
I am too gonna go world nancynancy tibia.
Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
Our patron did a
great job in selecting that one
courtney.
What do you?
What's your choice in regardsto hole in rock or the world gig
park?
Speaker 3 (01:18:51):
I feel like hole in
rock was poorly seated.
It should have been better, butI don't think it beats really
good park I'm an agreeance.
Speaker 1 (01:18:59):
I picked hole in rock
and I fully agree with the
whirligig park thing as well.
So there you go, josh.
Whirligig park moves on.
What do we have up next, mate?
Speaker 2 (01:19:07):
we have next number
10, which is the duck tours in
wisconsin dells.
Yeah, versus number seven,which, which is the Superman
statue, which was a patron pickin Metropolis Illinois.
Wow, this is a tough one.
These are two very, verydifferent things.
(01:19:27):
Yep, I'll talk about theSuperman statue.
Superman statue is in MetropolisIllinois.
Yes, there is a MetropolisIllinois.
It's a small little town inSouthern Illinois.
The statue is a gigantic,beautiful photo opportunity.
In front of the courthousebuilding, across the street from
the Superman statue, is amuseum that is dedicated
(01:19:48):
completely to Superman and ifyou want to explore more
Superman stuff, there's a bronzestatue of Lois Lane.
It's everything Superman.
If you love superheroes, if youlove Superman, you gotta get
here.
It is exactly that.
It is iconic, it is cool.
I think it's great.
This is going to be a toughchoice.
(01:20:08):
I'm going to really listen toyou two to decide.
I mean, I love my duck tours,but I haven't visited Superman's
statue.
Speaker 1 (01:20:16):
Oh, it's up against
the duck tours, is it?
Speaker 2 (01:20:17):
Yeah, the Wisconsin
duck tours.
Speaker 1 (01:20:19):
Oh, this isn't hard
for my decision, then, because I
am absolutely all in for theSuperman statue.
Only, for some reason, ducktours for me is not really a
roadside attraction.
As I said before, when it wasup against the bathrooms, I
picked the bathrooms over theduck tours last round, josh.
So I can't now pick duck tours,especially over Superman statue
.
Plus, I can't now pick ducktools, especially over Superman
statue.
Plus, the Superman statue is apatron pick, and they did a good
(01:20:39):
job again with this patron picktoo.
I didn't even know about theSuperman statue until the
patrons actually messaged aswell and like let us know.
And we did some research andwent wow, that's pretty cool.
So I'm all in for the Supermanstatue up, up and away.
Courtney, what about you?
Speaker 3 (01:20:54):
Wait, doesn't,
doesn't Josh have to vote first?
Speaker 1 (01:20:58):
No, what about you
wait?
Speaker 2 (01:20:58):
doesn't.
Doesn't josh have to vote first?
No, no, because it's patronpicks.
That doesn't really patron pick.
I want to get yours his pickwas the ducks no, it's not, I
can pick against mine.
I I just said, yeah, I haven'tvoted yet, okay I I love
superheroes I love that the cityis actually called metropolis.
Speaker 3 (01:21:17):
Superman is my least
favorite superhero.
Speaker 1 (01:21:20):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:21:21):
You don't care.
Speaker 3 (01:21:23):
I'm not super into
Superman, but the childhood
nostalgia of the ducks.
Speaker 1 (01:21:30):
Oh, it's a childhood.
Wow, wow, wow.
So if it was Batman, would ithave been different?
Speaker 3 (01:21:36):
Who's your favorite.
Oh my God, Nothing's going tobeat Batman.
Speaker 1 (01:21:39):
Oh, I knew that.
Speaker 3 (01:21:40):
Find me a Batman
statue it wins.
Speaker 1 (01:21:41):
Is it the voice it
might?
Speaker 3 (01:21:43):
be the voice I knew.
Speaker 1 (01:21:47):
All right, josh.
Now you're the decider herebetween the Superman statue,
which was a patron pick and is areal, true roadside attraction,
or Duck Tours, which is just,you know, a little, tour guide
you know this is tough.
Speaker 2 (01:22:00):
I I have.
I'm in the power seat, I canmove mine forward yeah, so
choose.
Speaker 1 (01:22:05):
But you did put your
hand on your heart and you said
you were going to choose the oneyou would most likely like to
go to and do a video of as wellit's really tough too, because
I've done the duck tours before.
Speaker 2 (01:22:17):
Yeah, so I know it's
like video.
I didn't see a video, josh.
So if it's really tough too,because I've done the duck tours
before, yeah, so I know it'slike video I didn't see a video,
josh, so if it's not videoworthy for you, then obviously
it's not going to be I'm goingsuperman statue.
Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
Yes, yes yes, I'm
voting against my own poor
courtney.
She just wants the voice that'sall she cares about.
Speaker 3 (01:22:35):
Yeah, there's a
little more brooding to him.
Speaker 1 (01:22:39):
Superman statue goes
through.
Courtney, I do, I believe.
I'm 100% in with you when itcomes to I'm a Batman person, I
have a Superman as well.
So yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:22:48):
I like Superman
better.
He's a real superhero.
Batman's just rich.
Speaker 1 (01:22:52):
That's because you
look like him, josh.
You've got your glasses on whenyou're Clark Kent and then when
you put the vlogger voice onand you do the hair and out come
the muscles, the glasses go offand up, up and away he goes and
he's the Superman of thegeocaching world.
I'll take it, I know you will.
What have we got next, mike?
What have we got next?
Speaker 2 (01:23:12):
All right, this is
going to be.
We got a good one.
Number three Captain Kirk'sbirthplace in Riverside, iowa,
versus the unclaimed baggagecenter.
Speaker 1 (01:23:23):
Who did these ones?
You're the unclaimed baggagecenter, Josh.
Speaker 2 (01:23:26):
Yeah, I'm the baggage
center.
We've talked about baggagecenter.
It's mine, it's so mine Talkabout Captain Kirk's birthplace,
courtney.
Speaker 1 (01:23:31):
Wow Okay.
Speaker 3 (01:23:35):
I could go on for
days about this because I'm so
excited about it, captain.
Okay, I could go on for daysabout this because I'm so
excited about it.
Captain Kirk, they have astatue, a plaque and all this
stuff set up for him inRiverside Iowa.
They've got like a littlemuseum and a place that you can
stop and see all kinds of StarTrek memorabilia.
But like the history behind itis just so crazy.
Captain Kirk, like theyspecified in Star Trek that he
(01:23:57):
was born in Iowa but they nevergave him a birthplace.
So this town in Iowa just said,well, it said some small town
in Iowa that could be us.
So their city council voted tomake their city the official
birthplace of Captain Kirk andit passed.
So they just decided they hadthis Riverfest.
That happened the last weekendin june every year.
(01:24:19):
They decided to change riverfest to trek fest.
So now every year.
This year will be their 40thanniversary of doing trek fest.
Wow, they've just made the, thepersonality of their city, be
star trek.
Um, so captain kirk's birthdayis march 22nd of 2233.
There's some they, I think,declared a year maybe before it
(01:24:43):
was actually entered into StarTrek canon.
So it's a little bit off, butit's close.
Coincidentally, williamShatner's birthday is also March
22nd, so there is that.
But really this whole thing wasjust created by a council
member saying this should be,this should be our city and it
is now officially in star trekcanon because in the most recent
(01:25:06):
star trek movies, um, they did,they did put in that he was
born in riverside wow, they'veclaimed it, they let them do it.
They've let them do, oh wow andeven gene roddenberry like,
chimed in and said like, as faras I'm concerned, the first
volunteer, that's it, you get itso I have been here as well.
Speaker 2 (01:25:26):
I've made a video of
it.
There's a geocaching video ofit well, yeah, there's a there's
a statue.
There's a statue of captainkirk.
There, yeah, there's a big likealmost looks like a gravestone,
where it says future birthplace.
If you go into the bar, on thepool table it says the
conception place of James T Kirk, the museum.
(01:25:50):
If you love Star Trek, I mean,the museum is super cool.
Yeah, against for me, againstunclaimed baggage center.
Speaker 1 (01:25:58):
I pick captain kirk
yeah, yeah, do you pick captain
kirk courtney?
Speaker 3 (01:26:02):
oh, my god, I'm
picking it over everything.
I have not been there.
I am going there this summerand no one is stopping me it's a
, it's a three-way, it's athree-way for captain kirk's
birthplace.
Speaker 1 (01:26:14):
There we go, one of
one of a rare one.
Actually, in this episode, Josh, we haven't really all decided
all three of us together on thatmuch, to be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (01:26:23):
We've had some sweeps
.
We have we have.
All right, last one, last oneof round two and the last one
we're going to mention.
It is number 22.
Ooh, the Cinderella story,craig.
Number 22, the Paper House, oh,yes, versus number six.
Steampunk Treehouse.
Who's this number that's?
Speaker 1 (01:26:44):
mine too.
Well, courtney, it's up to younow, courtney, you're in.
Speaker 2 (01:26:48):
I'm going to look
Steampunk Treehouse.
Speaker 1 (01:26:50):
I'm doing the same
thing.
Speaker 3 (01:26:52):
To be fair, this is
also now.
It is now located in a breweryin Milton, delaware.
Originally, though, it was anart installation that was part
of the Burning man Festivalthat's in Nevada, so they had
this art installation.
They were kind of like lookingaround, for what can we do with
this after Burning man?
(01:27:12):
It's this enormous like metaland wood treehouse structure
that they built for Burning man,which is really super cool.
They ended up selling their artinstallation to this brewery
for a dollar.
Speaker 1 (01:27:26):
Oh, wow.
Speaker 3 (01:27:27):
That which didn't
include the shipping and all of
the stuff that goes into tearingit down shipping it across the
country and restructuring it ina new location.
But this brewery now um, it isdogfish head craft brewery in
milton, delaware now has thisamazing steampunk treehouse
structure.
Speaker 1 (01:27:45):
Um, that's kind of
part of their landscape wow it
looks cool I'm looking at photosof it too, and it's
understandable they sell it fora dollar because they don't want
the the hassle of actuallyremoving it from burning man as
well?
probably not that's, that's allit is.
That's all it is.
They would have built a burningman knowing that, uh, they can
get rid of it for free.
Um, yeah, no, it does lookreally cool.
(01:28:06):
It is actually a full-blowntree house, as a normal tree,
like a fake tree, metal treewith a house on top.
There's a spiral staircasegoing all the way up.
Um, it is quite large as well,like I can see it there.
Speaker 3 (01:28:18):
It is 40 feet tall,
20 feet 40 feet tall.
The total height is 40 feet thetrunk height is 20 feet.
Yep Branches are 40 feet.
Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
And I do like a
dogfish brewery, like I like the
beer, the dogfish beer too.
And this is up against whichone, josh?
I can't even think now it'syours.
Speaker 2 (01:28:36):
It's yours the Paper
House.
He's getting all excited and hedidn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:28:40):
Well, I'm going to go
.
I'm the treehouse, josh, I'mthe steampunk treehouse on this
one over the Paper House.
What about you, courtney?
Speaker 3 (01:28:48):
Oh, I'm all about
this treehouse.
Speaker 1 (01:28:50):
And Josh.
Speaker 2 (01:28:57):
I was going to pick
the paper house.
There's a little bit morehistory.
This is just kind of like aspectacle outside.
You can immerse yourself andexperience the paper house.
This is kind of just likesomething outside.
Speaker 1 (01:29:09):
It does look cool.
Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
It doesn't matter,
though.
It doesn't matter what I think,because it lost.
Speaker 1 (01:29:14):
No, no, no, it's not
a sweep.
It's not a sweep.
Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
So steampunk's all
the way through.
Steampunk treehouse moves on,there we go.
Speaker 1 (01:29:19):
That's all the way
through, exactly All right.
We're getting to round threenow.
This is now getting to thepointy end of the stick, josh,
so what?
Do you have for round three.
Speaker 2 (01:29:41):
Would you like to
hear all eartha yep, whirligig
park, oh yeah, house on the rockfield of dreams, gum wall,
superman statue, steampunk,steampunk treehouse.
Captain kirk, we've got eightleft.
Speaker 1 (01:29:47):
Finally wow, and they
, they're, they are eight
quality.
We, we've done good so far.
I will say we've, we've reallydone this job well.
Um, there's none there thatshouldn't be there.
To be honest with you, yes, Iagree.
All right, what's the firstmatchup we have?
Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
Let's go to the top.
Let's go to number one versusnumber nine, Eartha number one
versus Wisconsin's whimsical,crazy, insane House on the Rock.
Speaker 1 (01:30:10):
Wow, wow, wow.
Well, house on the Rock isyours, courtney.
So who do you vote for, houseon Rock or Eartha?
Speaker 3 (01:30:18):
House on the Rock is
an amazing structure on its own,
but it also has a carousel, theworld's largest indoor carousel
inside of it.
Speaker 2 (01:30:25):
This is true.
She's selling hard, she'sselling hard.
Speaker 1 (01:30:31):
I will say this and
that is.
I did look at both of these now, especially after you spoke
about it the first time as well.
I am still on the Eartha globebandwagon because it's very
geocache related for me, you see.
So that purpose alone.
Really, it hit over the houseon the rock for me.
So I'm an Eartha, josh.
(01:30:51):
This one's all on yours now.
You've got the splinters now.
Oh my gosh, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
I love that look of
pain.
Speaker 2 (01:30:58):
Oh, my god, I'm
watching.
It has a piano that playsitself.
I'm watching a youtube videoright now.
Speaker 3 (01:31:05):
It is so weird and so
creepy there's so much at house
on the rock I know there is alot.
Speaker 2 (01:31:11):
You can spend three
hours there.
Eartha would be really quick.
But if I had to choose, and youdo.
You have to choose your theit's the geocacher in me that's
pulling me.
Speaker 3 (01:31:25):
Yeah, I think it's
because I didn't do my proper
research on geocaches near thelocations that I picked.
Speaker 2 (01:31:31):
No, even if there
wasn't, even if there wasn't a
geocache, it's like, it's prettylike, like the spectacle of
that globe.
Speaker 1 (01:31:39):
And also the fact
that it used to be Delorme and
now Garmin as well, which isjust geocache upon geocache pool
, that earth pool, that magneticpool that's pulling you towards
Eartha, and it's a patron pickas well.
Speaker 3 (01:31:53):
Never get on the
wrong side of Craig.
This is what I'm learning today.
Speaker 1 (01:31:58):
This is the
Australian in me.
This is the Australian in me.
Speaker 2 (01:32:02):
I'm looking at Eartha
.
Speaker 1 (01:32:04):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 2 (01:32:06):
Eartha is just.
It's just epic.
It's Eartha for me.
I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (01:32:10):
That was my hardest.
Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
That was my hardest
decision so far.
Speaker 1 (01:32:15):
And maybe the hardest
out of all of them, to be
honest with you.
But we'll soon see.
We'll soon see.
Speaker 2 (01:32:19):
So there we go eartha
is in the final four patron
patron is in final four.
Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
Well done patrons,
well done, well done.
You see I'm a man of thepatrons too, courtney.
So, yeah, what else?
What else do we have?
Next, josh, what do we have?
Speaker 2 (01:32:32):
all right, we're
going.
Whirligig park versus supermanstatue wow, wow, wow, wow.
Speaker 1 (01:32:40):
Okay.
So whirligig park was patronsas well, and superman statue was
patron, so they're both patronpicks as well.
So we've got another patronpick in the top.
Wow, um before wait, did we?
Speaker 2 (01:32:50):
yeah I'm, I'm going
to go, I'm going out of order,
yeah yeah, he's just a randomorder.
Speaker 1 (01:32:55):
um well, I'm gonna
going to put it out here.
I'm going Whirligig Parkbecause, as I said, it's the
movement factor.
For me, it's the fact that themoving, the sound, the looks,
the whole lot.
Superman statue is cool, butagain, that's just for photo
opportunities et cetera as well,but the Whirligig Park, oh yeah
, I'm in for Whirligig Park.
Who wants to go second?
Speaker 2 (01:33:18):
Which one for
whirligig park?
Who wants to go second?
Which one?
It shouldn't be me because I'mthe only one that voted for
superman last time, so yeah.
So, courtney, what do you think?
I'm going whirligig okay yeah,I I would, I would, I would
actually go whirligig as well ohwow, there's another sweep.
Speaker 1 (01:33:33):
A sweep this late in
the round.
That's really cool.
That is really cool.
Nice job, guys, nice job so wehave two patrons.
Agree, yeah, it feels good whenwe agree well, that's.
Speaker 2 (01:33:44):
It's also interesting
too that if the patrons go
through there's no patron likeselling it.
Speaker 1 (01:33:49):
We're much more we're
much more diplomatic yeah,
exactly, there's no sales pitch.
Exactly right, exactly.
What do you have next?
Speaker 2 (01:33:56):
just which one you
have next one, the the Gumwall
of Seattle versus the Field ofDreams of Iowa.
Speaker 1 (01:34:02):
Wow, this is me
versus Josh, all right, so we've
already done the push on this,well we can sell it a little bit
more because Courtney's goingto decide this one.
Yeah, yeah, exactly, I'm prettysure.
Speaker 2 (01:34:22):
Yeah, yeah, can sell
it a little bit more because
courtney's gonna, courtney'sgonna decide this one.
Yeah, yeah, exactly, I'm prettysure.
Yeah, yeah, you go first andjosh the field of dreams.
The field of dreams, it'salmost like a spiritual
experience.
Speaker 1 (01:34:28):
You can't pull the
grandmother card the second time
around.
You've already pulled that once.
You can't do it again it is soamazing.
Speaker 2 (01:34:35):
The title, like the
whole state of Iowa.
At one point their slogan wasis this heaven?
No, it's Iowa.
Like that was the state sloganbecause of the field of dreams
movie.
And they were so proud, gosh,they were so proud of their town
that they decided to putdecided to film that cash there.
The gum wall.
(01:34:56):
I mean I don't mean to gonegative, but you're right,
courtney, it's gross, and youknow what.
The gum wall.
I mean I don't mean to gonegative, but you're right,
courtney, it's gross and youknow what?
The gum wall.
If you go, if you go to the gumwall at the wrong time, you
could, you could end up going tothe gum wall when they just
cleaned it and there's no gumwall, it just disappears oh wow.
Speaker 1 (01:35:13):
They've cleaned it
once in 2015.
They haven't cleaned againsince in 10 years, so they're
not going to clean it againanytime soon.
Courtney, I will say the gumwall.
There's an actual, real hardquality geocache there that once
you find the gum wall geocache,you're proud.
You then become proud of anactual find.
Can you imagine, courtney, yougo to the gum wall and you put
(01:35:35):
your hand?
You've got your gloves on right, so it's not really too
disgusting, but you've got yourgloves on and you're dedicated.
You're like I need to find this.
You put your hand.
The first thing you put yourhand on is the actual fake gum
and you find that cash.
And Josh has been there howmany times, josh, 15, 16 times.
How many times have you beenthere?
Speaker 2 (01:35:51):
I've been there three
times.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah, I've been there threetimes.
Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:35:55):
Three times.
So you go there straight awayand you get the cash.
You sign your name on thatlogbook.
Josh has been there three timesand has not got his name on
that log.
How good would you feel.
So that alone is….
Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
I'll tell you I
wasn't there three times because
of the gum wall.
I was there three times becausePike's Plakes Market is cool
and, and the first, starbucks isright there as well.
Speaker 1 (01:36:15):
Exactly so you've got
all three now.
Speaker 2 (01:36:19):
Thanks, Josh, for
selling it to me.
We're talking about the gumwall, the worst part of the
Pikes Plain Market.
Speaker 1 (01:36:26):
Whereas the Field of
Dreams, yeah, it's really nice,
it's very, you know the wholelot it's a movie location.
Movie locations for me,courtney, seriously they are
close to my heart.
I do love movie locations, butyou know it are close to my
heart.
I do love movie locations, butit's the gum wall.
It is literally a roadsideattraction as opposed to
actually a destination, which Ifeel like the Field of Dreams
would be more of a destinationthan a roadside.
Speaker 2 (01:36:45):
There's no real road
next to the gum wall.
I'll just say that it's justkind of a dead end.
It's a dead end.
Speaker 3 (01:36:51):
Okay, as a kid I had
this thing called a gum pal,
where you could take yourchewing gum before you go to bed
and you put your gum on the gumpal so then in the morning when
you wake up, you can put thegum back in your mouth and keep
chewing it.
I know what that gum feels like.
I don't want to touch otherpeople's gum.
That feels like that.
Also, you're talking to someonewho takes Tim geocaching with
(01:37:12):
me so he can stick his hand intorandom geocaches, because I
will not stick my hand in there.
I don't want to touch thatstuff.
Speaker 1 (01:37:20):
But, courtney, I will
say, I will say I've seen you
in a lot of Tim's videos as well, and you always have a gum in
your mouth.
You are a gum chewer.
Speaker 3 (01:37:30):
So if you're a, gum.
Speaker 1 (01:37:31):
I know it's your gum,
but if you're a gum lover, why
wouldn't you love a gum wall?
That's what I'm saying.
You know you love a gum wall.
That's what I'm saying.
Just even the look of it.
You don't have to touch it.
Just even the look of it.
It's an art piece, you see.
So that's what I'm saying.
All right, courtney, it's up toyou Field of dreams or the gum
wall.
Field of dreams, oh, courtney.
Speaker 3 (01:37:50):
Yes, I'm really sorry
If that's the case now.
Speaker 1 (01:37:53):
Courtney, next time I
see you, next time I see you I
do not want to see a piece ofgum in your mouth for the
entirety that I see you so Ihave no problem with my own gum.
Speaker 3 (01:38:02):
But if you hand me
your gum, I don't want to touch
it, I'm not gonna hand you mygum.
Speaker 1 (01:38:07):
That's disgusting
exactly.
Speaker 3 (01:38:08):
You should touch
other people's gum.
Speaker 1 (01:38:10):
it's a gum wall you
don't have to touch.
But anyway, field of dreamsmoves on.
There we go, field of dreams.
Well, it's fine, I'm going tobe in the final, that's all
right, it's no problem, whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:38:19):
The last one of the
third round.
The last one of the third round, which is the quarterfinals.
We've got Captain Kirk's futurebirthplace versus the steampunk
treehouse.
Speaker 3 (01:38:30):
Both.
Speaker 2 (01:38:30):
Courtney's.
Speaker 1 (01:38:31):
They're both mine.
I'm out, I'm out, craig, I'mout, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (01:38:36):
Craig is out.
You're done.
I don't have any left.
Speaker 1 (01:38:38):
I'm done, I don't
care.
Now, that's it.
Now.
Patrons, I'm all for you.
Patrons, I'm all for you.
No, you swore I did, I did, Idid, but I can't believe it.
After last year, I'm now allout.
Speaker 2 (01:38:51):
Wow, you didn't no no
, so sorry.
Speaker 1 (01:38:54):
which one was it?
The Captain Kirk's birthplaceversus Future?
Speaker 2 (01:38:57):

Speaker 2 (01:39:06):
Captain Kirk.
Speaker 1 (01:39:08):
Me, captain Kirk.
Speaker 3 (01:39:11):
Courtney's going to
say Captain Kirk as well, isn't
she?
Speaker 1 (01:39:12):
I am going to say
Captain Kirk, there we go.
Speaker 3 (01:39:15):
I really want to go
see them both, but Captain.
Speaker 1 (01:39:17):
Kirk, how can you not
?
Speaker 2 (01:39:18):
that was an easy pick
, that one, that was nice that
was, yeah, that was maybe theeasiest of the whole tournament
it really was.
Speaker 1 (01:39:24):
It really was all
right.
Josh next up, we have the nextround.
Now we're in the next round.
Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
Final four, final
four, we're here, wow, wow,
ready here.
It is eartha, yep, the number.
Eartha, yep, the number oneseed.
Eartha versus Field of Dreams,which is the number five seed,
so it's patrons versus me, yeahyeah, oh boy, you want to go
first, josh.
Sure, well, maybe I shouldn'tgo first, because it's Well.
(01:39:55):
I'll ask you guys this Are youalready decided?
Yes, I am already decided.
Yes, I am not decided, I amdecided.
Are you decided?
Are you courtney's?
Decided yeah okay, so I should.
I'm not decided, so I should.
Speaker 1 (01:40:09):
I should debate
amongst myself well, if you're
not decided, though, why notjust courtney and I, if we well,
that might influence.
Speaker 2 (01:40:15):
It might influence my
decision or it might not matter
all we say.
Speaker 1 (01:40:18):
We see, we say we
won't talk about it, or we'll
just say who we've picked.
That's it, because you knowboth of many Courtney, who have
you picked, which one?
Speaker 3 (01:40:25):
Feel the dreams.
Speaker 1 (01:40:26):
And I'm Eartha.
So there you go, josh.
Oh God, you knew that wascoming, I did.
Speaker 2 (01:40:43):
I knew it was there.
I knew it was coming.
Neither of us, neither of us,are going to sway you, josh,
this is all on you, mate, thisis all.
This is so you.
Here's why it's so difficult.
I've been to the field ofdreams.
I have not been to eartha, so,like, naturally, I would
gravitate, like if I decidetoday which one I would want to
visit, I want to visit the onethat I haven't been to, which
would be eartha.
But if I hadn't visited eitherof them, which one would I
select?
Speaker 1 (01:41:01):
oh, I'm not going to
influence you in any way, josh,
but you know, all I'll say isthat you've been influencing
yourself because you've beensaying gravitational pull.
That's all you've been sayingthe whole time, every single
time we and that's true every ifyou listen back to this episode
, everything's a single time yousaid about ertha, from the
first go you've saidgravitational pull, gravitate,
and you just said it.
Then I'm gravitating towards.
Speaker 3 (01:41:20):
That's what you said
so what are you gravitating
towards?
Speaker 1 (01:41:23):
yeah, which one, josh
?
Which one?
Come on, come on.
This is the longest episodewe're going to have this year,
by the way, just to let you knowunless we split it up.
No, no, we're not going tosplit it.
We can't do that to people.
Two week wait between findingout who's gonna win no no, no
come on, josh.
It's up to you, mate earthait's so hard.
Speaker 2 (01:41:41):
It's so difficult.
Field of dreams.
It's an upset.
Speaker 3 (01:41:48):
Look at craig I wish
everybody could see craig's face
if I had, if I've never visitedeither of them.
Speaker 2 (01:41:55):
Wow, and somebody
said to me wow, just like you
said, courtney, feel dreams.
That way, eartha, that way Iwould go to the field of dreams.
Speaker 1 (01:42:03):
So I'll say this as
well All the patrons out there
listening to this right now nexttime you see Josh and myself at
a next mega event or any eventwhatsoever, do not go up and
shake his hand.
Just come to me and give me abig hug.
I'm for the patrons.
Come and hand, just come to meand give me a big hug.
I'm for the patrons.
Speaker 2 (01:42:20):
Come to me, the hug
patrons and and give, give josh
the cold shoulder the field ofdreams still had.
I'm sorry the patrons stillhave.
Have a horse in this racethough oh yeah, absolutely,
absolutely.
Speaker 1 (01:42:29):
But I'm just saying
ertha was a good horse.
That was the number one.
Josh, that was the number oneyeah, yeah, it was this.
Speaker 2 (01:42:34):
It was the.
That was probably the biggestupset of the whole tourney this
year.
It was tough.
Speaker 1 (01:42:38):
It was really tough
and you made it happen.
You created that upset, butanyway, we'll move on.
Speaker 3 (01:42:42):
Well, Courtney voted
for it too.
You created it.
Speaker 2 (01:42:48):
What's the next one?
Josh All right.
Big final four match Whirly GigPark versus the future
birthplace of Captain James TKirk.
Speaker 1 (01:42:58):
Oh, wow, okay.
Okay, courtney, have you madeup your mind.
Oh, absolutely, Josh have youmade up your mind yet?
Speaker 2 (01:43:06):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (01:43:07):
And I've made up my
mind how about ready On three?
I'll say one, two, three and weall say at the same time, so we
don't influence each other.
Okay, ready, one, two, three.
Captain.
Influence each other.
Okay, ready, one, two, three,captain kirk, oh wow, see again
patrons, see, see patrons.
(01:43:27):
I love you guys, I really do.

All of you.
It was a tough one.
Speaker 3 (01:43:28):
He's not even my
captain is picard your captain,
it's not even real.
100 my captain, it's not evenreal, it's made up.
Speaker 2 (01:43:36):
It's not even real.
Willie park is real, did youknow?
Not even real.
Whirling Park is real.
Speaker 3 (01:43:39):
Did you know in?
Indiana, there is also a statuededicated to Captain Janeway.
Speaker 2 (01:43:45):
Really, that's cool.
Speaker 3 (01:43:46):
And I think it's
Bloomington, indiana.
They have the same thing likefuture birthplace of Captain
Janeway.
Speaker 2 (01:43:51):
Craig, I'm
discovering you're going against
two Trekkies.
Yeah, he's from Australia.
He doesn't know anything.
Speaker 3 (01:43:58):
Get out of here, get
out Just get out.
Speaker 1 (01:44:01):
Yeah, no, we don't
have that sort of technology in
Australia.
Speaker 3 (01:44:02):
Who is Janeway?
Speaker 1 (01:44:04):
No idea, honestly, no
idea, honestly, I'm being
honest with you.
I know All right, so what do wegot left?
Wow, this is fascinating.
Speaker 2 (01:44:11):
This is fascinating.
We two pop culture, we've gottwo movie, slash TV show, movies
in Iowa, both in.
Iowa.
You know who would be happy.
Olio in Iowa would be veryhappy of this result and I will
(01:44:31):
say this.
Speaker 1 (01:44:32):
I will say this I
think I may be the contributing
factor for this one, for thefinale, for the win.
And patrons, I've got your back.
Patrons, don't have anything onhere.
Yeah, I know, that's what I'msaying, but I've got their back.
In terms of who kicked who out?
Yeah, gosh.
Speaker 2 (01:44:53):
So I'll speak my
piece first.
I'm not going to tell him myvote, I'm trying to be as
diplomatic as possible.
Riverside Iowa is very close toOttumwa Iowa, which is the
birthplace of the geocachingvlogger.
Greatness comes from that area,or?
Speaker 1 (01:45:12):
future greatness If
you don't say so yourself.
Speaker 2 (01:45:17):
The Field of Dreams
is a magical place.
It actually feels like.
It feels real, like like themovie obviously is, is spiritual
and it's all the things.
But when you go there,especially at night when the
lights are on, you feel that youfeel like, oh my, this is, I'm
in the movie.
Now, captain Kirk, the wholetown is filled with cool, like
(01:45:45):
it's.
You got the statue, you got themuseum.
They have a whole festival,although in Dyersville, iowa,
they also have a festival aroundthe Field of Dreams.
These are very oh my gosh.
The scales are very equal.
That's my piece.
I'm not.
I haven't decided.
Speaker 1 (01:45:59):
Courtney, do you have
anything to say before forever
holding your peace, this townhas claimed this as their
identity.
Oh, so we already know whoyou're going for.
Speaker 3 (01:46:08):
They made it up, they
made it up and they claimed it,
and then the studio said, okay,that sounds great, you're it,
that's done.
They changed their city logo,they've put all of this stuff
together, just dedicatingthemselves to this thing.
Also, I would like to point outthat if Josh won last year, do
you really want him to win twoyears?
Speaker 2 (01:46:29):
That has nothing to
do with it.
Oh no.
Speaker 1 (01:46:35):
Okay, so this is my
thoughts.
Speaker 2 (01:46:42):
okay, so this is,
this is my thoughts as a
literally I am the uh, like theundecider, the I'm literally I
have not decided.
Speaker 1 (01:46:45):
I have not decided.
I, I understand, but I'm sayinglike, obviously, josh, you, you
have got the, you know, theinkling towards field of dreams.
Courtney, you're all in for thebirthplace.
Um, I will say this is thedeciding factor yes, they are
both iconic.
Yes, they're both.
They're both not real, they'reboth fake.
Let's be honest, they're bothmade up.
In regards to they're bothmovies or TV shows.
There is probably I'm going tosay it's Trekkies, but there's
(01:47:08):
more feelings towards the Fieldof Dreams.
However, that was a biggermovie, but the Trekkies and
stuff as well, is a bigger popculture than what the field of
dreams is.
You see, I'm balancing right uphere.
Okay, I'm not.
Speaker 3 (01:47:21):
I haven't decided yet
, so I'll just let you know,
courtney, because you're lookingat me with those eyes well, I
don't think the field of dreamsbeing one solo movie compares to
like the entire franchise ofstar trek the other thing I was
thinking about as well, and thatis that the how many people
actually attend this location,the field of dreams as opposed
to the captain more more at thefield of dreams I'm sure really
(01:47:41):
more yes, it's more.
Speaker 2 (01:47:42):
I'll just say this I
think the field of dreams is
more well known.
They have major league baseballgames there, the yankees versus
the cubs play there like it'smore it, is more known I, if you
ask people in america?
In america, if you ask peoplein america, in america where is
the field of dreams, they wouldsay it's in iowa.
If you ask people in America ifyou ask people in America where
is the field of dreams, theywould say it's in Iowa.
If you asked somebody where'sCaptain Kirk's birthplace, the
(01:48:02):
average American they would notknow.
Speaker 3 (01:48:04):
This is true, that's
true, and they made it up and
they said it's just going to behere.
Speaker 1 (01:48:10):
And they made up the
field of dreams and said, like
let's make a movie about this.
Speaker 3 (01:48:14):
There's not a movie
there, it's fine.
I movie about this movie there,it's fine.
I mean they, they did shootsome of the newer, the newer
star trek things in riversideafter they like said, okay, you
can have this as the birthplacewilliam shatner was there.
Speaker 1 (01:48:26):
They said he was
lovely to keep this under two
hours.
This episode, courtney, thelongest episode the longest ever
.
Courtney.
What is your pick?
Uh, either field of dreams orthe captain kirk's Birthplace.
For the win.
Speaker 3 (01:48:38):
Captain Kirk's future
birthplace.
Speaker 1 (01:48:41):
There's Courtney's,
josh.
It's on you now which.
Speaker 2 (01:48:44):
Drumroll, please,
field of Dreams, oh, josh I
thought.
I know you thought I was gonnaswerve.
I did, you did the drumroll andyou got me.
I'm like I actually did alittle sigh of relief I like I
like convinced myself when Istarted thinking about how
(01:49:04):
famous they were yeah, yeah,yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (01:49:08):
So for these reasons,
and these reasons alone, that
is, we are a um a tourism slash.
You know travel podcast that'sguided by a love of geocaching.
There are geocaches at bothlocations.
We are a US-based one as well.
So, given those factorsthemselves, I am going to say,
(01:49:34):
and I hate to say it, it's thefield of dreams.
Speaker 2 (01:49:38):
Oh, my gosh, Wow, and
I hate to say it, it's the
field of dreams.
You're letting him play his newrole.
Speaker 1 (01:49:42):
Wow, it's the field
of dreams, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:49:45):
That's awesome.
The winner.
Speaker 1 (01:49:47):
The main reason why I
hate to say it is because Josh,
Josh's pick.
That's a real reason why I hateto say it, more than anything
else.
Speaker 3 (01:49:56):
Every podcast that
you have for the rest of the
year.
You're going to have to know.
He is the two time champion andI was voting.
Speaker 2 (01:50:04):
I was voting for
Captain Kirk all the way to the
end.
You know I I liked it.
It was a good one.
Speaker 1 (01:50:10):
I enjoyed the fact,
courtney, as well, that that all
the patrons that see him nowfor the rest of the year again
they're that.
See him now for the rest of theyear again are, like you know,
give him the cold shoulderbecause they knocked them the
patrons out.
He knocked the patrons out, soso that's what I like about that
too.
So I don't mind him bragging,because he brags to me all the
time anyway about it.
You know his hairstyle and thefact he's got more hair than me
(01:50:30):
and he uses a blow dryer.
Um, so the fact is that thepatrons are now going to give
him the cold shoulder and comegive me a hug instead.
That, to me, is morepleasurable.
Speaker 3 (01:50:40):
There's a price to
pay.
Speaker 1 (01:50:41):
Than winning any
tournament.
Exactly, there's a price to paywhen you're at the top.
Josh isn't there.
Yeah, yes, well done, well done.
I will say well done toeveryone out there.
Well done to the patrons.
Thank you so much to patronsfor picking everything as well.
Well done, josh, on your win.
Courtney, well done on a very,very, very close second place.
And also, you know all yourpicks themselves as well.
(01:51:03):
There's a lot of them we didn'teven know about, especially
that house on the rock that, forme, is now going to have to be
on my list.
Yeah, that's great.
Yeah, that sort of stuff too.
So really, really appreciateCourtney coming along too.
So, josh, what else have yougot to say in regards to?
Speaker 2 (01:51:16):
that Well, I just
want to say the final was a
slight, a very slight upset,because the Field of Dreams was
a five seed and Captain Kirk wasnumber three.
It was a three seed.
Oh, wow but the fact that wehad a three versus five.
That's very close.
That means that the seeding wasthe seeding.
Speaker 3 (01:51:34):
It worked, it feels
like you, still went against the
patrons, though.
Speaker 2 (01:51:37):
Yes, good job,
courtney.
Speaker 3 (01:51:39):
Rubbing it in I went
