(00:00):
Ocean City. How was. Wehad a very good time, awesome,
but yeah, it's just not Jerseyenough for me because the people were too
good looking. Here's here's the thingyou pull in the town, and Ocean
(00:22):
City has a reputation that precedes it. And it's totally unfair because you're greet
at first with that massive sign thatis America's greatest family resort, and it
is. It's clean, it's nice, it's not grimy, It's not Jersey.
(00:43):
Did you go to the right place. I'm telling you the people who
the people who think Ocean City isbad have never been to Seaside Heights,
that is true. Looks had aterrible weekend the gunfire, everyone went the
Ocean City. New Jersey had thestabbing right, wild Wood, perfew issues,
(01:04):
so like, it was very chaoticon the Jersey shore. So I
realized that it's odd saying coming offof that weekend that New Jersey had that
I wished Maryland was more like NewJersey. But it just where was the
Italian? Where was all that Italian? It's it was all families. Literally,
(01:27):
there was like there was something atSeaside Heights and other short points in
New Jersey. Like there's this senseof shamelessness. It was. It almost
felt modest like Ocean City, likepeople were too covered up. Yes,
it was it crowded, it hadto be packed. It had to be
(01:48):
packed. It wasn't as crowded,I know. They said the numbers weren't
as good as they had hoped for, but there was some weird weather.
It wasn't the perfect weekend. Theforecasting was completely off. Heading into where
they said it was going to bein the sixties ended up being in the
eighties. The people may have alteredtheir plans, but it was just like
too too nice. It's also earlyin the summer, so that may that
(02:12):
may have played into it a littlebit. There. Whoever's idea and it's
working. Whosever idea it was toput in one thousand garbage cans? People
weren't using them nice. It wasjust like, so it's Ocean City,
honest question, Hey, Christian,will you do me a favor? Like
I'm trying to I'm trying to thinkthe last time that I was in Ocean
(02:32):
City. I mean it's been it'sbeen years. Yeah, I've been to
Bethany, I've been to Rehobith,But the last time that I was in
Ocean City. It's been years,it's been years. The and then it
was all, yes, is ita little more? Is it a little
more fam although that's hard to saybecause Rehob is family and they all are
(02:55):
they. I feel like Bethany Dewey, like you could find fan but like
Ocean City was always a little bitgrunging and but like a lot of like
like trashy like putt putt places andstuff like that. Oh there's still a
lot of miniature golf. Yeah,exactly a lot that I didn't know.
I couldn't believe how many locations therewere. But has has has and remember
(03:19):
Ocean City mayor Chip Shean, RickMehan, whatever have they has? Have?
I not been there recently? Isrecentcy biased? Not on my side?
Maybe? I mean, I'm withyou, I can't. It was
I haven't been there since. LikeI think like cork and barrel, nineties
starboard bottle and cork bottle and corkrather bottling cork, sorry the starboard and
(03:45):
like just stuff up. But that'sthat's going the other way. That's the
that's all the other way. SoI don't even go and go like,
oh, let's go to Ocean Citybecause in my mind, it's trash,
it's condoms, it's cussing, there'sa ton of putt putt, it's nasty.
But maybe maybe they've changed it.Oh that's what I was gonna say,
Christian. Will you find me somepeople that were that were that were
(04:06):
on the Eastern shore this weekend,please? Eight six six to Elliot And
I did eight six six two threefive five four six eight. And I
don't care whether it's Dewey, BethanyRehobeth, Ocean City, like I don't
care which one, but just peoplewho were were at the beach this weekend
Polease eight six six to Elliot eightsix six two three five five four six
(04:29):
eight. Yeah, And I'm notsaying it is leap frogging any of those
other destinations. I've also never beento those places, but I'm not claiming
that I have nothing to base that. Yeah. Sure, you're just basing
this on seaside heights from Well andother points in Jersey. But since I've
I moved down here to go toschool in two thousand, so in almost
(04:50):
twenty five years, I have heardnothing but bad things about Ocean City,
Right, And I've heard most peoplenot say the word city but out and
they're wrong. It's like you,you, you will be embarrassed if you
ever go to uh Seaside because itwas it was clean, it was friendly.
(05:16):
It was not that which is thatItalian? Where where was the green?
Red, white and green? Youknow? Was it skinny? Was
it skinny? Right? Again thepeople are covering up more like I felt
like people. And really it waslike people thought when we go to eat
(05:40):
somewhere, we should put on somesort of topper or you know, dress
or whatever. But there's no ruleslike that in Jersey. No, no,
not at all, not at all. But like I wouldn't. I
would have expected maybe minus the largeItalian turnout, that Ocean City would have
been like Seaside Heights, Ocean City, New Jersey, not like LBI,
(06:03):
which is all Swanksville. But yeah, no, like the Jersey Shore has
a certain amount of trash to it. The but that was always that was
again. I wish I could rememberwhat year I was in Ocean City when
I went that way and not theother way. But that's what it felt
like. And it's interesting, Rickme, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(06:24):
I didn't. I knew it waslarge. I kept telling the kids that
I said, it's you know,with Jersey you have Seaside Heights, but
then you just go south their SeasidePark, and you go north and there's
Lavalette. Like you experience a lotof different uh little towns. Yeah,
with their own characters and their ownfocus, but all unimprovement. I'll have
(06:46):
Italians. But then we got toOcean City and I was like, holy
crap, this is massive, liketen miles is just for it to be
so much boardwalk as well, andjust the the high rise hotels, which
of which we were staying in.One we stayed at the Holiday in which
you guys mocked a lot, butwas very very nice. Was it really?
(07:08):
Yes? Wait, so they havenew carpeting the pool, I'm telling
you, other than the room nothaving a spinny chair. The kids were
like like in love with Ocean City. And I was like, guys,
guys like E were going to Jerseyin a couple of weeks because I need
you to remember where we're going tobe next Memorial Day. Wow, Well
(07:31):
what a what a glowing endorsement ifyou've never been people, yesterday I was
at a barbecue and people are like, well, you've never been to Ocean
City. I had. If you'venever been, it's changed. So I
hear it's it is not what peoplesay it is, right. Do you
think that you went in with thebar so low it was? It was
(07:54):
pretty low, right, So maybethat's it. But I feel like people
have never been have that bar ina similar position. Oh, I'm laying
on the ground, actually buried underthe ground. And you know we didn't
go to secrets, but we didhead up. Well you walked by it,
yeah, And we also we wentto like rope walk, which wasn't
anywhere close to the hotel. That'sthe other thing too, I mean,
not everything's walkable. You do haveto do a decent amount of driving.
(08:16):
Despite the best parking spot at thehotel. Family, I'm like, let's
let's uber. I don't want toa parking spot up. We might have
to go to overflow parking and thenwalk across the street. So we did
see things in north and south.We didn't just stay right there where the
hotel was. We walked all theway down a mile and a half to
the far end with the ferris wheelsand the roller coaster. So like we
(08:39):
did everything, and did you dothat did they liked at all? Did
you do that thing where? Andit's right by secrets where like some people
will go out looking for shells,some people go out looking for condoms.
Did you do that? No?We went for the areas nice as sunset
at the rope walk for a sunsetthe well and you were also gone within
(09:03):
twenty four hours. We were therefor one evening, right, but yeah,
hotel check in was four and checkout was eleven am. We did
get there before four and they saidthey'd call me when the room was ready.
It was like an hour before four. We had been like up and
down the boardwalk for three four hoursand they finally called her, like,
your room's ready. I'm like,okay, yeah, I've only been waiting
(09:24):
for you know, most of ourtime here. But well, that's all
right. Change in the car.We've done it before in New Jersey.
Wait till he goes to the outerBanks. Whoo oh, the outer Banks.
You'll think you're in Beverly Hill.You will. You'll think you're in
Beverly Hills. Absolutely, where amI going? Line three? Hi,
Elliet in the morning, Good morning, Hey, who's this? Hey?
(09:48):
What's going on? Dude? Howwas were you were you out on?
Were you at the beach all weekend? I'll be going to Ocean City.
Got a place in two thousand andseven, So yes, we're at the
beach all week with my two kids. So dude, you you've got your
own house there. Let me askyou this because I feel like when we
end up going we we I feellike more than any of them, whether
it's Dewey Bethany, I feel likewe end up in bethany more than the
(10:13):
single family, more than any ofthe others. Has Ocean City has it
gotten much better over the years.It's the same. I mean it depends
which week you're that. I mean, it depends which week you're going down
get out for bike a week.It's gonna be bike a week. So
just you know, Jaring is wildhigh school kids. And then after that
(10:33):
it kind of mellows out you getdown to White Marlin week. I mean
you think you're at Beverly Hills asyou just said, Oh my god,
am on the outer banks the sobut it still has that certain amount of
like fat and trash to it.That's why we go right, very very
good, thank you, thank you, Oh thank god. All right,
(10:54):
very good very good. Thank you, my friend. No, because I
feel bad if I've been saying allthis and it turns out that it's really
nice. Oh aren't you thinking?Like God, what if I've been missing?
That's the problem. It's like whenyou don't realize how tall your own
kids are getting because you're around them. But that's somebody who hasn't seen them
in a long time, like,oh my god, you're you're so tall
now, right, That's that's whatit is. It. I I from
(11:16):
from all of the stereotyping that goeson with that beach destination, could not
believe I was in that ocean cityMaryland. Well how about you? How
about you let me go to lineone hi Elliet in the morning four five
six? Who is this? Becausethis couper I live in Nation City.

Now, let me ask you that, And you live in Ocean, did
you look at it like did youlook at like Dewey and Bethany and Rehoboth
or were you like nope, OCis my place. OC was the first
bet I looked at Dewey. ButI am way too poor to poor dude.
Well, that's the other problem.Some of those places to get really
(12:24):
really expensive. Yeah, there's along dirty city. Man. Look it
is what you make of it.If you want to come down and have
a trashy weekend, there are trashybars and trashy people to deal with.

(13:07):
restaurants. Really yeah, oh wowmm hmm. I'm telling you, if

it's been a few years. Didyou see the whales? The whales?
Is that some sort of sports teamthe No? No, no, the
whales off the coast in Ocean City. No. Oh, massive whale spottings.
(13:31):
Yeah, massive whales. I wantto say, humpbacks spotted off the
coast of Ocean City that people werepeople were going nuts for talking about the
Hold on, I gotta find itright here. Yeah, here you go.
Whales spotted in Ocean City, Maryland. During Memorial Day weekend, Wales
were spotted in Ocean City, accordingto several pos. Facebook user Pam Taylor
(13:54):
and maybe you saw her there saysshe spotted the whales. She was out
just releasing some sea bass and sawuh and saw the whales. I did
not. People said they could hearthem breaching. Oh yeah, yeah,
that you could hear the uh hearthe whales. Now again, maybe this
is previous. In a previous time, there were a ton of whales in
(14:16):
Ocean City, mostly walking up anddown the boardwalk. But yeah, no
actual whales out off the coast ofOcean City. I see the video right
now. Did you play in thesand at all? Yes, we did
go to the beach. Did yougo in the water? Uh? To
my ankles, no, that thekids playing in the water and they liked
(14:37):
it. I laughed, who wasthe person that were? They like,
where's the oil slick? They didn'trealize that it was me there, and
somebody corrected them my mind and saidit's Tyler's family. Look for the kids
covered in sunscreet who aren't allowed togo in the water, but they were
in the water. Did they wearshoes on the beach? Uh? No,
(15:01):
bear if they would tick their sandalsoff? Yeah, right when we
got off the boardwalk, right andthen go into the thing. I did
that. Uh remember we're walking inshoes? Oh you did that when we
were in Charles And why am I? Why am I the smart one?
You look like a fool? Whyam I the smart one? Why?
What do these things have in common? Some of them? I don't even
(15:22):
know what they are, mrsa ecolhookworms, lee Jonella, giardia, norovirus,
ask Carris, I don't even knowwhat that is? And vibrio one,
two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
(15:43):
What do those eight things have incommon? That Vibrio one is the thing
that people get in lakes, isn'tit? Or is that the thing from
the oysters the I don't know.I don't know what vibrio is. I
don't know what ask caris is.I know what norovirus is. Lee jonella,
I mean that's Lesionaire's disease, Giardiais that's that's feces, hookworms,
(16:06):
eco lion mursa is that stuff you'dfind the beach. Eight most common infections
that you will get from the beachjust from walking barefoot and going in the
water. And they say it allcomes from walking barefoot on the sand or
as you're leaving. And this reallyis for lee jonella. When you spray
(16:30):
your feet off in that little puddlewhere everybody sprays their feet off, that
is a hotbed of Ligjonira, lejonellaand giardia is just crap in the water.
But what will people do, Likethey'll get their stuff together and then
they all run down and they justkind of wash their hands off in the
(16:51):
water. That's washing your hands offin Giardia and then they go and then
they get to the car and they'relike, oh, like, my hands
are still a little salty, andthen they put their in their mouth.
The next thing, you know,boom giardia. Boom. Hookworms, they
said, people, so many peopleget hookworms for walk They said, the
best thing that you can do fromthis point moving forward, and it's gotten
(17:12):
much worse over the years. Putsome shoes on walking the beach. Really
absolutely, I always do. Ihave very sensitive feet. And I don't
want. I don't I do.And you guys made fun. Where were
we myrtle? You guys made fun? Uh huh? You know what.
I don't have mrsa Ecoli, hookworms, li Jonella, Giardia ascaris, neurovirus
(17:37):
or vibrio or if that has notcrossed the vaporridge yet, the and to
me, the grossest of all.I mean, listen, I don't want
merca. You lose your whole legfrom that. I definitely don't want giardia.
Don't you When you get giardia,don't you have to get a fecal
transplant? Is that true? Ithink? So that's where they pump you
full of somebody else's tish in orderto like kill it off. Now,
(18:00):
a lot of times they'll like collectand then insert. I like to just
press butthole to butthole and take ashot at it. Wow, that is
a cold glass of water. Youseed me on the third floor, bend
over and get ready. But yeah, you can get you can get really
really sick walking there. They said. The number of people that end up
(18:21):
with hookworms, no, no,seriously, and people don't even realize they
have them until it's too late.But the number. All you need is
the smallest cut And when you gotinto the water, do you feel any
of those shells and stuff? Allyou need is a is a is A
is a hole in like just alittle scrape that hookworm gets in there.
Uh uh, you got you gothookworms. But those germs can be present
(18:44):
anywhere. You know where they're reallypresent beach And then now I've already got
I've got hookworms. And then Igo up to rinse my feet off in
that and that pot of water justeverybody's fungus on their feet. Yeah,
that's where you get your lee Jonellafrom Oh I didn't use that thing over
(19:06):
the weekend. No, that thingis disgusting. I like to sit there
in the hotel room and just pushthe sand off my legs carpet. That's
my style. And by the way, so you find in that pool of
everybody's like fungus, what are thetwo things you find most often in that
pool of just wash off? Bandaids? Three things? Band aids,
(19:27):
le jionella and M six good enough? No smoking? No smoking in Ocean
City. Oh yes, in thewhole city. Yes you can. Oh
you didn't smell weed once? Ididn't you smell weed? I'm trying to
think in Ocean City. I'm Iwas only there for thirty hours, but
(19:53):
I don't recall smelling it. Maybethe vibrio knocked your sense of smell out,
because you definitely get that. AmI going to line three? I
could do that? Hi, Yolliein the morning? This me Yeah?
Hi? Who's as Hi? Thisis the yes, sir? What can
I do for you? Uh?So pretty much. I didn't go to
(20:15):
Ocean City over last weekend, butI did go there last year. And
I'm gonna say this before last year, I left there maybe a few years
prior to that, and I think, in my opinion, it definitely has
changed. A decent amount because Iused to go to Back to the Beach
instead of Ocean City just because ittended to be cleaner than Ocean City.
(20:37):
But I was really surprised as thetime out last year. I actually was
walking down the boardwalk with my friendson shrooms and we went over to the
amusement park area, and I don'tknow, it was like a perfect balance
of like clean and chaotics. Itwas like that one scene and you're in
living in Las Vegas. I don'tknow if you've seen that movie, but
yeah, no, it was.I don't know, it was a lot
(21:00):
of fun. I thought it.Did you see a lot of people just
walking the boardwalk on mushrooms. Itried not to make all contact with anybody
every one, but I definitely was. I don't know, I felt like
I could hear everybody, and therewere definitely a lot of people on the
boardwalk. One was like whatever,but yeah, but that's good. That's
(21:22):
good. Actually, no, thatmakes me happy to hear. There's another
positive vote that makes me happy tohear. That's a little nerve wracking,
though, because before noon quite afew people are on bicycles, right and
you know, good for them forhaving the no bikes after noon rule,
but a lot of people are strollingthe boardwalk prior to lunch, so you
do find yourself dodging. Uh,not only those bikes, but those big
(21:42):
gyms like carts that have the fourseats and stuff or sometimes I think six
seats. H But people are gettingexercise. It is. It is a
changed from from what I hear,A changed Ocean City. You know what,
I gotta go back, go toOcean's calling you. I have tickets.
I know it's a sold out festival. But if you have tickets and
you haven't been in a while,great lineup and great destination. And I
(22:07):
guess everybody's waiting till Ocean's calling tobring out the weed, because there was
none this weekend. I'm not sayingthat people didn't. I'm just saying maybe
it was mushrooms, Maybe it wasthe gummies, maybe it was stuff that
wasn't as obvious. Because there werealso a ton of police not there running
in call of duty style like SeasideHeights, but patrolling. I mean,
(22:30):
you felt safe. You don't feelsafe at Seaside Heights, right, But
that's the charm and the Italian Ieven when we walked by the H two
o under twenty one night club.I felt safe. Wow. Wow,
you know what that makes me happyto hear? It makes me scared for
(22:52):
Bethany because now maybe that's not whereI'll go. Maybe I'll go to Ocean
City and watch. I'll be therethree seconds and I'll go. You know
what I'm gonna take. My shwas off on the beach, which I
know is a mistake. Next thingI know, syringe and Giardia boom vibrio.
Ocean City. How was. Wehad a very good time, awesome,
but yeah, it's just not Jerseyenough for me because the people were too
good looking. Here's here's the thingyou pull in the town, and Ocean
(00:22):
City has a reputation that precedes it. And it's totally unfair because you're greet
at first with that massive sign thatis America's greatest family resort, and it
is. It's clean, it's nice, it's not grimy, It's not Jersey.
(00:43):
Did you go to the right place. I'm telling you the people who
the people who think Ocean City isbad have never been to Seaside Heights,
that is true. Looks had aterrible weekend the gunfire, everyone went the
Ocean City. New Jersey had thestabbing right, wild Wood, perfew issues,
(01:04):
so like, it was very chaoticon the Jersey shore. So I

honest question, Hey, Christian,will you do me a favor? Like

oh, let's go to Ocean Citybecause in my mind, it's trash,
it's condoms, it's cussing, there'sa ton of putt putt, it's nasty.
But maybe maybe they've changed it.Oh that's what I was gonna say,
Christian. Will you find me somepeople that were that were that were

on the Eastern shore this weekend,please? Eight six six to Elliot And
I did eight six six two threefive five four six eight. And I

Italians. But then we got toOcean City and I was like, holy
crap, this is massive, liketen miles is just for it to be
so much boardwalk as well, andjust the the high rise hotels, which
of which we were staying in.One we stayed at the Holiday in which
you guys mocked a lot, butwas very very nice. Was it really?
(07:08):
Yes? Wait, so they havenew carpeting the pool, I'm telling
you, other than the room nothaving a spinny chair. The kids were
like like in love with Ocean City. And I was like, guys,
guys like E were going to Jerseyin a couple of weeks because I need
you to remember where we're going tobe next Memorial Day. Wow, Well
(07:31):
what a what a glowing endorsement ifyou've never been people, yesterday I was
at a barbecue and people are like, well, you've never been to Ocean
City. I had. If you'venever been, it's changed. So I
hear it's it is not what peoplesay it is, right. Do you
think that you went in with thebar so low it was? It was
(07:54):
pretty low, right, So maybethat's it. But I feel like people
have never been have that bar ina similar position. Oh, I'm laying
on the ground, actually buried underthe ground. And you know we didn't
go to secrets, but we didhead up. Well you walked by it,
yeah, And we also we wentto like rope walk, which wasn't
anywhere close to the hotel. That'sthe other thing too, I mean,
not everything's walkable. You do haveto do a decent amount of driving.
(08:16):
Despite the best parking spot at thehotel. Family, I'm like, let's
let's uber. I don't want toa parking spot up. We might have
to go to overflow parking and thenwalk across the street. So we did
see things in north and south.We didn't just stay right there where the
hotel was. We walked all theway down a mile and a half to
the far end with the ferris wheelsand the roller coaster. So like we
(08:39):
did everything, and did you dothat did they liked at all? Did
you do that thing where? Andit's right by secrets where like some people
will go out looking for shells,some people go out looking for condoms.
Did you do that? No?We went for the areas nice as sunset
at the rope walk for a sunsetthe well and you were also gone within
(09:03):
twenty four hours. We were therefor one evening, right, but yeah,
hotel check in was four and checkout was eleven am. We did
get there before four and they saidthey'd call me when the room was ready.
It was like an hour before four. We had been like up and
down the boardwalk for three four hoursand they finally called her, like,
your room's ready. I'm like,okay, yeah, I've only been waiting
(09:24):
for you know, most of ourtime here. But well, that's all
right. Change in the car.We've done it before in New Jersey.
Wait till he goes to the outerBanks. Whoo oh, the outer Banks.
You'll think you're in Beverly Hill.You will. You'll think you're in
Beverly Hills. Absolutely, where amI going? Line three? Hi,
Elliet in the morning, Good morning, Hey, who's this? Hey?
(09:48):
What's going on? Dude? Howwas were you were you out on?

Got a place in two thousand andseven, So yes, we're at the
beach all week with my two kids. So dude, you you've got your
own house there. Let me askyou this because I feel like when we
end up going we we I feellike more than any of them, whether
it's Dewey Bethany, I feel likewe end up in bethany more than the
(10:13):
single family, more than any ofthe others. Has Ocean City has it
gotten much better over the years.It's the same. I mean it depends
which week you're that. I mean, it depends which week you're going down
get out for bike a week.It's gonna be bike a week. So
just you know, Jaring is wildhigh school kids. And then after that
(10:33):
it kind of mellows out you getdown to White Marlin week. I mean

like fat and trash to it.That's why we go right, very very
good, thank you, thank you, Oh thank god. All right,

feel bad if I've been saying allthis and it turns out that it's really
nice. Oh aren't you thinking?Like God, what if I've been missing?
That's the problem. It's like whenyou don't realize how tall your own
kids are getting because you're around them. But that's somebody who hasn't seen them
in a long time, like,oh my god, you're you're so tall
now, right, That's that's whatit is. It. I I from

Whales spotted in Ocean City, Maryland. During Memorial Day weekend, Wales

and maybe you saw her there saysshe spotted the whales. She was out
just releasing some sea bass and sawuh and saw the whales. I did

that you could hear the uh hearthe whales. Now again, maybe this
is previous. In a previous time, there were a ton of whales in
(14:16):
Ocean City, mostly walking up anddown the boardwalk. But yeah, no
actual whales out off the coast ofOcean City. I see the video right
now. Did you play in thesand at all? Yes, we did
go to the beach. Did yougo in the water? Uh? To
my ankles, no, that thekids playing in the water and they liked
(14:37):
it. I laughed, who wasthe person that were? They like,
where's the oil slick? They didn'trealize that it was me there, and
somebody corrected them my mind and saidit's Tyler's family. Look for the kids
covered in sunscreet who aren't allowed togo in the water, but they were
in the water. Did they wearshoes on the beach? Uh? No,
(15:01):
bear if they would tick their sandalsoff? Yeah, right when we
got off the boardwalk, right andthen go into the thing. I did
that. Uh remember we're walking inshoes? Oh you did that when we
were in Charles And why am I? Why am I the smart one?
You look like a fool? Whyam I the smart one? Why?
What do these things have in common? Some of them? I don't even
(15:22):
know what they are, mrsa ecolhookworms, lee Jonella, giardia, norovirus,
ask Carris, I don't even knowwhat that is? And vibrio one,
two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
(15:43):
What do those eight things have incommon? That Vibrio one is the thing
that people get in lakes, isn'tit? Or is that the thing from
the oysters the I don't know.I don't know what vibrio is. I
don't know what ask caris is.I know what norovirus is. Lee jonella,
I mean that's Lesionaire's disease, Giardiais that's that's feces, hookworms,
(16:06):
eco lion mursa is that stuff you'dfind the beach. Eight most common infections
that you will get from the beachjust from walking barefoot and going in the
water. And they say it allcomes from walking barefoot on the sand or
as you're leaving. And this reallyis for lee jonella. When you spray
(16:30):
your feet off in that little puddlewhere everybody sprays their feet off, that
is a hotbed of Ligjonira, lejonellaand giardia is just crap in the water.
But what will people do, Likethey'll get their stuff together and then
they all run down and they justkind of wash their hands off in the
(16:51):
water. That's washing your hands offin Giardia and then they go and then
they get to the car and they'relike, oh, like, my hands
are still a little salty, andthen they put their in their mouth.
The next thing, you know,boom giardia. Boom. Hookworms, they
said, people, so many peopleget hookworms for walk They said, the
best thing that you can do fromthis point moving forward, and it's gotten
(17:12):
much worse over the years. Putsome shoes on walking the beach. Really
absolutely, I always do. Ihave very sensitive feet. And I don't
want. I don't I do.And you guys made fun. Where were
we myrtle? You guys made fun? Uh huh? You know what.
I don't have mrsa Ecoli, hookworms, li Jonella, Giardia ascaris, neurovirus
(17:37):
or vibrio or if that has notcrossed the vaporridge yet, the and to
me, the grossest of all.I mean, listen, I don't want
merca. You lose your whole legfrom that. I definitely don't want giardia.
Don't you When you get giardia,don't you have to get a fecal
transplant? Is that true? Ithink? So that's where they pump you
full of somebody else's tish in orderto like kill it off. Now,
(18:00):
a lot of times they'll like collectand then insert. I like to just
press butthole to butthole and take ashot at it. Wow, that is
a cold glass of water. Youseed me on the third floor, bend
over and get ready. But yeah, you can get you can get really
really sick walking there. They said. The number of people that end up
(18:21):
with hookworms, no, no,seriously, and people don't even realize they
have them until it's too late.But the number. All you need is
the smallest cut And when you gotinto the water, do you feel any
of those shells and stuff? Allyou need is a is a is A
is a hole in like just alittle scrape that hookworm gets in there.
Uh uh, you got you gothookworms. But those germs can be present
(18:44):
anywhere. You know where they're reallypresent beach And then now I've already got
I've got hookworms. And then Igo up to rinse my feet off in
that and that pot of water justeverybody's fungus on their feet. Yeah,
that's where you get your lee Jonellafrom Oh I didn't use that thing over
(19:06):
the weekend. No, that thingis disgusting. I like to sit there
in the hotel room and just pushthe sand off my legs carpet. That's
my style. And by the way, so you find in that pool of
everybody's like fungus, what are thetwo things you find most often in that
pool of just wash off? Bandaids? Three things? Band aids,
(19:27):
le jionella and M six good enough? No smoking? No smoking in Ocean
City. Oh yes, in thewhole city. Yes you can. Oh
you didn't smell weed once? Ididn't you smell weed? I'm trying to
think in Ocean City. I'm Iwas only there for thirty hours, but
(19:53):
I don't recall smelling it. Maybethe vibrio knocked your sense of smell out,
because you definitely get that. AmI going to line three? I
could do that? Hi, Yolliein the morning? This me Yeah?
Hi? Who's as Hi? Thisis the yes, sir? What can
I do for you? Uh?So pretty much. I didn't go to
(20:15):
Ocean City over last weekend, butI did go there last year. And
I'm gonna say this before last year, I left there maybe a few years
prior to that, and I think, in my opinion, it definitely has
changed. A decent amount because Iused to go to Back to the Beach
instead of Ocean City just because ittended to be cleaner than Ocean City.
(20:37):
But I was really surprised as thetime out last year. I actually was
walking down the boardwalk with my friendson shrooms and we went over to the
amusement park area, and I don'tknow, it was like a perfect balance
of like clean and chaotics. Itwas like that one scene and you're in
living in Las Vegas. I don'tknow if you've seen that movie, but
yeah, no, it was.I don't know, it was a lot
(21:00):
of fun. I thought it.Did you see a lot of people just
walking the boardwalk on mushrooms. Itried not to make all contact with anybody
every one, but I definitely was. I don't know, I felt like
I could hear everybody, and therewere definitely a lot of people on the
boardwalk. One was like whatever,but yeah, but that's good. That's
(21:22):
good. Actually, no, thatmakes me happy to hear. There's another
positive vote that makes me happy tohear. That's a little nerve wracking,
though, because before noon quite afew people are on bicycles, right and
you know, good for them forhaving the no bikes after noon rule,
but a lot of people are strollingthe boardwalk prior to lunch, so you
do find yourself dodging. Uh,not only those bikes, but those big
(21:42):
gyms like carts that have the fourseats and stuff or sometimes I think six
seats. H But people are gettingexercise. It is. It is a
changed from from what I hear,A changed Ocean City. You know what,
I gotta go back, go toOcean's calling you. I have tickets.
I know it's a sold out festival. But if you have tickets and
you haven't been in a while,great lineup and great destination. And I
(22:07):
guess everybody's waiting till Ocean's calling tobring out the weed, because there was
none this weekend. I'm not sayingthat people didn't. I'm just saying maybe
it was mushrooms, Maybe it wasthe gummies, maybe it was stuff that
wasn't as obvious. Because there werealso a ton of police not there running
in call of duty style like SeasideHeights, but patrolling. I mean,
(22:30):
you felt safe. You don't feelsafe at Seaside Heights, right, But
that's the charm and the Italian Ieven when we walked by the H two
o under twenty one night club.I felt safe. Wow. Wow,
you know what that makes me happyto hear? It makes me scared for
(22:52):
Bethany because now maybe that's not whereI'll go. Maybe I'll go to Ocean
City and watch. I'll be therethree seconds and I'll go. You know
what I'm gonna take. My shwas off on the beach, which I
know is a mistake. Next thingI know, syringe and Giardia boom vibrio.
