uh the flight starts boarding 10 minutes but don't worry i packed the essentials we have
tsa pre-checked so we should be good cross our fingers start of a good kevin adventure right
now so apparently if you're flying and traveling right now
you have to travel with the mask i'm gonna be honest i haven't worn a mask in like two months
because in florida everything's pretty much back to normal okay uh current updates are
boarding in uh five minutes right now that's the current line okay we're about to start boarding
um tsa does not like when you bring on two and a half pounds of gideon's cookies but uh
they started boarding four minutes ago so we should make it there in time let's let's hope
okay good news we made a little bit of a change of plans right we started off the day running behind
thinking we weren't gonna make it they overbooked the flight by five seats so they're like hey does
anybody wanna take a gift card and get a flight later today so we have a new flight we're leaving
at 11. it's only three hours later they gave us a thousand dollars so the vacation started off
pretty good yeah now we're gonna go to the delta lounge all right so we're gonna go into the delta
sky club since i have a delta card it's only like 30 bucks i've actually never been in the sky club
you get like drinks and coffee and a place to sit all right oh gosh here's a little rundown so
it's 39 a person um i forgot my shaving cream and shaver so they gave it to me for free so they have
like food drinks they have like starbucks coffee up here free wi-fi we're sitting in these one like
lounge chairs so let's do a little rundown of what they have to offer they got a little like
nook over here where you can print some stuff shred some paper work on your computer and they
got yogurt we got wraps fruit cups if sam was here i'm sure she would just take this whole rack of
milk they got scrambled cheese omelette then they got roasted potatoes interesting sausage and they
got fruits over here cereal i got bagels and i'm having these little waffles for breakfast we have
our wonderful breakfast now okay you know i gotta do it waffles very good kind of tastes like a
java juice waffle this egg farmer egg is one of the grossest things i've ever had in my entire
life the sausage and the potato are palatable you're gonna want to go like the pre-packaged
stuff all right we just finished it's time to hop on our plane quite enjoyed the experience
i don't know if it was worth 40 though but 10 out of 10 bathrooms and 10 out of 10 just chilling i
enjoyed just sitting there charging my phone the food itself was eh all right okay we're on we've
made it we're still sitting next to each other it could be like an hour and a half flight to Atlanta
hop up
we're here now i gotta appreciate the architecture here we're hopping on uber and then we're ubering
into atlanta i believe eventually we've made it to atlanta i want to show you this view this view is
so breathtaking it looks like i'm on some sort of alien planet right now the next day okay so
we're in atlanta oh god sorry the one thing that i've recognized is that it's i feel like i'm going
to die every 10 feet everywhere you go it's just like open holes and wires now if you're worried uh
the bourne show is sold out but the my name is not mom is not sold out yet atlanta is a weird
city we've been here for like a day it's very odd okay now one of the things i want to do today is i
want to go to the center for puppetry arts as you know i love puppets so they have a huge jim henson
exhibit here we're not even in yet and i already love it next to the stairs to go up
we have a little tiny door what does it say welcome to the center for puppetry arts i might
be able to squeeze it through though because your head's a little squishy but let's try and
sneak in through the front okay good sign i see the gift shop they have a miss piggy hand puppet
we just came in they have a little photo spot it looks exactly like they have it at sea world
where big bird comes out does a little story time oh that's for puppets only over there
they have a little door for puppets only as you can see they have a little kermit up there all
right let's go let's go i see jim henson's reflection already the museum has a lot of
them up it's a lot of like movie puppets but it's also kind of about like the history of puppetry
okay rachel's gonna perform a puppet show for us must have been about seven eight years ago
me and the little lady was out on this boat you see all alone at night when all of a sudden
a huge creature and giant christian from the paleolithic era comes out of the water we were so
scared lord and mother jumped up in the booth at that time what on earth is that creature it stood
above it looking down with these big red arms and i yelled i said what do you want from us monster
and the mother bent down and said i need about 350. one of my favorite shows as a kid mystery
science theater i watch it all the time on the sci-fi channel you get to see tom servo in person
and crow the robot now one of my favorite little details is so crow's mouth is just a bowling pin
and then his eyes are made out of like ping pong balls this is how you feel after riding
the velocity your soul leaves your body then they have these very british puppets the doctor
the devil judy then they have the stop motion puppetry so you got classic gumby
santa claus this is really cool from the corpse bride it's just crazy to see these things in
person i just find it very interesting like the artistic choices that they choose to sculpt
the puppets all right it's time to enter into the jim henson exhibit i'm so excited i love all
the little characters that they have around the entrance there he is the man the myth the legend
and then they got my boy gones up there now my favorite muppet is kermit but i feel like i
most relate to gonzo though jim up there pre-beard and they got jane henson helping make the puppets
right there so it says that this is omar jim used him on the original show sam and friends
which is like predates all the muppets this is jim's office and jim's desk i would love to see
walt disney's office one day but like to see jim henson's desk and how it was set up is awesome
just some emmys chilling over there kermit with a little umbrella and it looks like a paper mache
moose that he had look at these behind the scenes photos it's insane so this is a replica
apparently of the bird and ernie stained glass that they have in new york at the jim henson cut
the creature shop there's jim and frank oz now i don't think i've ever seen this puppet before
here's like little storyboards of the sketches look to have to have him breathe fire behind
the scene shots with the ankles now this is the dog from storyteller but it just reminds me of
rover from carousel progress like a little beaker popsicle stick a little fuzzy mug
a little swedish chef over there it's just crazy just to think like okay we're gonna make a puppet
you're gonna have to stand in it like that and that's what the pup is gonna look like
he's talking about the refinement process there's so much engineering that goes into puppetry which
just blows my mind oh so this is like okay this is the concept art that we want to make for a puppet
they got a show at the gym oh i love seeing this process talking about the different fabrics they
have to use so okay the note is it's gonna be a little more lightweight now ben if you're watching
that one's for you man the rubber chicken okay to see burton ernie in person it's bottle caps
i crazy like that i was not expecting to see this okay they have oscar the grouch here and they have
the life-size big bird sister street started in 1969 so they got cookie monster right here then
they got our boy elmo look how cute he is then they got grover and then they got franklin right
there you've made it you've made it on television so the puppeteers can see look at you guys on tv
it's supposed to be let's say the puppeteers are back here the guest is right here so you guys can
see the camera and then the puppeteer can see what they're doing right there
the man in his element right there it looks like a grimace's brother his name is splurge
we've made it to the real kermit here we are this is what we've been waiting for right here kermit
now the best is on the back of his little chair it says kermit how small little scooter is
this is from the seven deadly sins i don't remember his hands these are these are very
interesting for muppet treasure island i didn't realize that they used a miniature for the ship
these are from emmett otters if you want to see a good like
outtakes watch the emmett outer outtakes they're like cursing as puppets it's great
my god it went right in the studio floor
my feet are stapled do we get hazard pay for this i thought i was gonna get
hit that time i'm a munchkin they also have all the fraggle rock puppets here
so
okay allison what do you think that puppet looks like i think it looks like the night
sure now we're heading out they've stained glass of kermit and i'm sorry they don't have a sam the
eagle for you though no eyebrows well i guess you are the same the eagles here it is a tribute to
all nations but mostly america the final quote is please watch out for each other love and forgive
everybody it's a good life enjoy it we're gonna be going they have like a puppet theater show
we're gonna go to then we're gonna build a puppet afterwards it's time to watch the ugly duckling
so much fun uh they didn't allow us to film but we're gonna build our own puppets now okay so
this is the create a puppet workshop okay so maybe that's not a good way
making a little swan what's the theme that you're gonna go for with your swan that's like funny
funny okay allison is going for uh chris i changed my name mine's gonna be evil
you can't make it yet what if mine is evil and i don't decorate it because the evilest
people you can't tell it's social commentary are you talking about hollywood right now
so we're gonna have one of the guys who works here jeff he's gonna rate them all i might have to slip
him a uh washington you know yeah that'll get you far okay well rachel's already built it that's
right ready take that kevin she's really nice you can't tell and just does this switch rooney on
you oh she's even more she could start out evil and then turned out really nice i'm just saying
freckles i got stiff competition right now so it's time to bring out the big guns time to sneak it in
the swamp so this is what i'm doing oh god oh my god you got that uh-huh uh-huh and then there's
a little surprise on there you know i got this here's some view i'm going to work right there you
want to present okay you're going to turn around we're going to start with contestant number one
this is number one i would say pick it up jeff and uh you know look at it oh oh is there i think you
love the color red blue purple and green and me oh there we go is there anything inside there i think
oh yeah so someone is trying to maybe perhaps uh ride the sunglasses are good the hairstyle is good
oh is that a little bit too much to drink oh this one's got a rosy cheek yes so it's kind
of like a doctor jack type situation you know all right you know yeah flip it over and then
is this a nostril or like drop down glass it is actually a nose ring oh a bill ring
some nice details on the wings there thank you chef this one thank you
this one's not falling over it's not just been drinking like kool-aid or something instead
this one has chickenpox
this is either an elf or is trying to be santa claus
he forgot his beard to avoid any sort of conflict
it's the golden goose you know the golden goose the goose is cheap
look at them disqualified you lucky people keeping you in this is
i will say this that everyone if there were 100 points then um everyone here would be losing 12
because they did not do the last step which is folding the wings down oh
dr jekyll mr hyde thing and this one sort of has that too
and for some reason oh it's falling apart lost another five points
bro you had a rough 20 20. that's right gains five more so it's about to a 90 now
i i'm gonna have to say
a very very close second except for losing the five points congratulations on the win
congratulations so yes good job two different personalities takes a lot to do that i have
performed two different puppets at one time and you know that each one had to have a different
personality you perform this one for us real quick um yeah so it goes like this
so you can make it look like a swimmer's blue water okay we can make it swim
looking around for food this side's looking a little angry
and then over here a little more friendly so we can move around like that but also we could
just show like this but it can tear parents head up and down they can look side to side
they can look up looking for something else a predator or a predator down there like that like
that world's smallest underpants all right we're in the gift shop real quick they have a miss
picky hand puppet a fozzie hand puppet look at all these different types of hand puppets they
have all these weird little hand puppets little dcp kermits brothers right there
jeff suggested we go to bell street burritos all right jeff i hope this is good
jeff toast get the pulled chicken burrito yes it looks pretty decent
salad uh burrito i did nine out of ten nice and flavorful chicken was nice and tender i
really enjoyed the rice and the salsa inside it is now time to go to the aquarium now you
guys are gonna have to wait for part two of the video the aquarium is mind-blowing and one of the
coolest things i've ever done in my entire life but guys i had a ton of fun at that museum today
it was like one of the i think it was one of my favorite museums i've ever been to or just kind of
like nerding out the entire time but let me know down in the comments like your favorite puppet or
muppet i just find puppets so fascinating that you can just turn just like a piece of fabric
or just an object and bring it to life i just find it so fascinating and fun and very interesting so
guys on that note i love you all please stay safe and i will see you all on wednesday bye
this is a rupaul's muppet drag race you didn't know about that i want to know what it was used
for though like why do they need to make a puppet of carol channing as hello dolly
