what's going on everyone happy new year's eve to you although you've probably already celebrated
your new years uh i'm in memphis still i went ahead and moved over to the pyramid here at
bass pro shops of uh memphis tennessee what you got on the other side is all the rvs packed in
right next to each other and just like uh two or three years ago i asked the security guard
here if it was okay if i went and parked by myself on the other end he said absolutely
you can park anywhere you want overnight here so good that uh bass pro shop still allows that
also now that i'm here in tennessee you know as an rver you got to think about the events that
occurred in nashville with the rv exploding over there and everybody uh citizens police security
they're just on edge with the rvs i figured it'd be a good thing to introduce myself to
the security guard they patrol the whole lot all night so now now they now they've seen me and
they've seen my rv and tater tots so there won't be any suspicion or anything like that i feel
so got tater tot unhooked still super eat so much easier it's about half the work as getting
my motorcycle off the rv disconnecting the car super easy man and i took the advice of some of my
friends here on on youtube that told me to take these out because people like to steal them
i guess so yeah they're they're they're gonna be off and we got famous beale street here in
memphis just a half mile away i could even walk there if i wanted to i'm gonna take tater tot uh
over into and see what's going on you have to wear a mask down there and the state of
tennessee made them close up beale street by 10 pm so i can't even spend physically the new year
countdown out i'll be with jax for the actual stroke of midnight but yeah i'm gonna hang out
here and then hopefully by the end of this video we should be down into mississippi i'm hoping i'm
hoping let's go into uh bass pro see if i can need anything maybe they have a magnet yeah and jax
we're back to boondocking how do you feel about that i feel like you're pretty good at this then
yeah we're getting solar 99.7 percent currently so we're basically fully charged got a dish network
set up here because i got a clear shot of the southern sky with my dish outdoors satellite
there so we got tv and i don't know feels good so yeah it's possibly one of the strangest bass pro
shops you will see in this country it used to be an old sports complex and bass pro bought it
and moved right in it's it's pretty darn unique actually look at those doors how cool is that
there you go it's a city of memphis ordnance masks no biggie i can handle
it we can manage i feel like we're in disney world or something look at this store y'all
that crazy looking at their own freaking lake pawn here in the store at bass pro
and those are stalagmites stalagmites on the bottom if we were in a cave
stalag tights would be up at the top look at the pyramid in here though
and you can ride the elevator all the way to the top all the way up to the top of the
pyramid up there i don't know if their bar is open though because kovid they may have shut
down the restaurant bar well look there's even fish in here lots and lots of fish
that big guy over there that catfish i don't know it's a pretty unique store though pretty unique
the big scary bear there's some goats up there and some rams and then a whole aquarium here of fish
uh-huh they're fishy fishes look at those guys down there big big lots of lots of fish gosh it's
so cool the last apartment i lived in i had an aquarium i had an angel fish and a ball of shark
and forgot what else do you miss having an aquarium well this looks like a nice cozy
little habitat do we have anything in here hmm oh my we have gators we have baby gators
there's another one right there yeah they're just chilling in the water that's cool let's
stay out of there though old gmc pickup truck filled with uh fleece blankets and stuff there
red head okay it's pretty cool i love the effort here oh look at all the little bacons over there
the little bacon animals oh and baby quackers little tiny quackers you guys are tiny
what's your name is it mr quackers you look at mr quackers to me okay oh what's that guy he's
huge he's so huge look at this i found the bass pro magnet section there's some cool
i'm sure i can find something on here yeah you know what i actually like the old-school trout
bass pro shop look i think i really like that magnet yeah there's nothing here with
a pyramid on it so there's nothing specific that actually says memphis but still and
i this is the one i got last year he's in my collection not last year i think it was 2018.
yeah so i'll have that one and i'll have this one that's good the arcade now i'm really gonna miss
base camp it is a very neat detailed fun shooting gallery with the old boat and everything however
they uh they just decided to close it because
the only place in the whole store where they can't manage kovid okay okay yeah they have their own
general store here that's pretty cool look at this old school coca-cola cooler i don't know
where you would have put the money in but you just grab your coke out of there as i say have a coke
huh very cool all sorts of hots i like this hillbilly hot sauce i'm not really a hot sauce got
trailer trash what sauce so the lookout to go up it's still ten dollars to go up however it's all
closed so all you do is go up and come back down because the observation deck is closed right now
probably probably not worth it i'm gonna skip it this year oh my gosh how quirky is this mailbox
y'all oh my i just love it it fits me so much but it doesn't lock i have a i have a locking one at
the house that stores all my stuff while i'm gone but these are so cool though is that a mailbox
no it has to be i don't know how you open it up it's a mailbox though but it's
oh okay i see what you did there shawn and jill you guys watching they had monster tootsie rolls
and they're delicious you wouldn't like it you should have come to memphis
you want something too no it's chocolate you can't have any so i just changed my mind
actually um i do want to go to beale street in the daytime so i'm going to take the car down there
not not to drink or anything or get crazy but just to explore some of the stuff in in the daytime
and then i'll i don't know if i'm going to go back tonight i'm going to find out how it feels
during the daytime i may go back and just take an uber over there it's like one mile away i could
even take the e-bike over there later i don't know but i do want to go explore stuff while it's still
bright outside and nice like it's it's comfortable outside finally i'm happy yeah let's take tater
tot on down to beale street that's cool the old trolley well we're here about as close to beale
street as you can get i'm parked here just on the other side of the road there's the sign it says
beale street it's three bucks to park here for two hours and that's all i needed so this is perfect
i love that trolley that's really cool you know it's actually better that i'm here in the daytime
because last time i was here years ago it was it at night so we're gonna do something totally
different yeah who's this guy in his blue suede shoes the king of rock and roll that's right we're
close to graceland even but people ask me pretty often why i've never taken my youtube channel
to graceland and i kind of mention it every time i'm in this area near elvis's home no videography
allowed so if you wanted to see what it's like when i go to graceland it would be that would be
about the extent of it there's nothing to show because no cameras at all allowed in graceland
and it's like 150 bucks to go on the tour and see it i might still want to do it one year but since
i can't share it with youtube and you guys here we are the start of famous beale street
in memphis tennessee think i'll be able to find a magnet today i don't know how many there are but
they have some huge guitars all over the place and it's art you know oh a record store here's
some good music in there look tater reds okay lots of stuff is uh closed i don't really know why it's
only 3 p.m on a pretty busy touristy day but lots of stuff is closed up and beale street is not busy
yeah it's gonna get busy tonight i i don't think i'm gonna come back it's just gonna be too hectic
but i'd like to think that some of these places are gonna open later yeah i didn't waste any time
getting my beale street magnet i mean it doesn't quite look like that often close right i always
wanted to learn how to play the harmonica look at those vinyl clocks that's really cool could learn
to play the washboard guitar there little three string oh look at that guitar very artsy fartsy so
you don't know beale street covers two full blocks and they have they have it blocked off the road
so you can't drive through here you can just walk right down the street not two places open for dine
in so i'm gonna put my mask on and go dine in here at rum boogie cafe okay there's so many guitars
hanging from the ceiling look at all those guitars everywhere that's a pretty cool place i don't
know if they're going to play live music while i'm here people have signed the lamp in there
just checking in on jax on my phone here you see him on the recliner there just chilling there
sleeping in my spot yeah i like keeping an eye on him all right food's here i went with the uh local
this is mississippi farm fresh uh catfish sandwich here with french fries and some extra stuff
i know we're not in mississippi but mississippi's catfish is more famous
they actually do something kind of unique they deep fry their catfish
oh that's my good catfish deep frying man that was some good good uh catfish i forgot how much
i like catfish i don't really like fish and chips very much but fried catfish is the way
to go and it's starting to get a little busier here on beale street i wanted to find the old
elvis fortune teller or at least zoltar but most of the shops are closed i mean look how empty
beale street is that's the end down there that's it should we be worried about the recovery of the
economy postcoded because looks like people are afraid to go outside i am going to continue to
be as safe as possible please don't get triggered triggered guys i'm doing everything i got to do
when i gotta do it while still enjoying my life the way i want to enjoy it you know just a few
things concern me with the lack of people willing to try i have lots of viewers out there who have
been telling me that they don't they don't leave at all they've been they've been stuck in their
house and they've been ordering out all their groceries since march of last year so i mean
the green room that sounds good i don't know if they just went out of business or they're
just thinking about going into business but it is shut down for now this is so sad to see i wonder
what new orleans is like right now there's coyote ugly across the street it says now open it says
now open the signs lit the doors are locked like securely locked and then duct taped up with no
note no hours and that's the end of beale street let me go look one more time and try to find elvis
all right well let's check out blue city general store see if they got a zoltar or elvis in here
weird i'm pretty sure i filmed in that store before just got told to put the camera away
no cameras are allowed in this store it's a magical store where can't have cameras
okay uh i'm gonna head out of here i'm gonna say if you're dying to see beale street
wait it's kind of meh right now i'm gonna head on back to the rv before it gets dark hang out with
jax and celebrate the new year with my kitty cat all right back at the rv before it's dark look at
those pink clouds over there that tennessee sunset at night they'll uh light up the pyramid i don't
know if it's on all sides actually maybe over only on the other side that they actually light it up
how do you like to celebrate the new year how how do you like to do that would would you like a
a kitty roll up no let me let me squeeze it so that it comes out
it's almost there you go all right is that pretty good then is that a good way to celebrate i don't

it's comfortable have you ever seen a cat go so crazy over a roll up a squeezm's
he is just too cute to toot it's hilarious how he bites the package hey can you take
a breath or something like take a break and just kind of live life for a second
