[Music]
all right first stop in South Carolina Kazooie kazoos uh the home of the famous kazoo let's
go check it out all right so they're doing a guided tour here in about 10 minutes it's
uh 14 50 for the tour of the kazoo we've got some time to check out the souvenirs first
the famous kazoo if you have not played on a kazoo then you have not lived life but there's
a bunch of these at the world's loudest acoustic kazoo right there okay lots of different colors
look this one has a quarter inch plug you can plug into your amplifier and be part of
the band with a plastic kazoo that's pretty funny interesting they make a bunch of stuff
I think they also here at the Museum they put the logos on stuff too I'm pretty sure
they do can hear people playing kazoos in the background you can see they got a pin
they got postcards and they have a magnet I guess it's shaped like a kazoo but it looks
like a submarine too so I'll have to get a magnet here for sure there's a red French
horn kazoo I wonder how many kids have put their mouth on this display one here already
that's interesting though [Music] just a wall of kazoos here and the world's largest kazoo
the kazoo funny
it is so weird that looks really weird what he's holding there looks really awkward it's
her leg but like from here up like I'm just you know oh my gosh look at this it's like
Leia from Star Wars oh they got some old aluminum steel kazoos there are interesting there's
some wooden ones right here as well the one-man band machine with the fry pan and the washboard
and the can I really want to turn it and see what it sounds like and then look at all the
kazoos on top that's interesting there's some really old ones this one has a valve on it
okay there's the hum and drum so you could play the kazoo and play the drum oh a bunch
of old toys the fads and kazoos there's the slinky that's Rubik's Cube oh remember those
trolls yeah sure that's a Furby didn't have one of those I did have an Etch A Sketch and
I did have a light bright they also had a Magic 8 Ball anything else there's some yo-yos
in there I took you guys to the yo-yo Museum a couple years ago a lava lamp and Teddy Ruxpin
the uh what do you call that view Master thing yeah and there it is the original 1884 kazoo
okay well I'm gonna have to add that to my search now there's a Mickey band kazoo a blue
Mickey Mouse kazoo that I do not have in my Mickey collection so I'll have to get that
later there's the California Raisins and Turtle Power with kazoo a book okay there's another
Mickey thing never seen that before and I would probably never see it again oh my gosh
the famous kazoo kid remember remember this one [Music] Jim Henson's uh Muppets kazoo
sing-along and even some old McDonald's toys that you would get in the Happy Meal that
are two different kazoos there's a whole timeline here of kazoos in history dating back again
to 1884 where you could see Henry Dixie fellow that plays the kazoo The Beatles played the
kazoo okay Emmett otters Jug Band Christmas premieres on CBC in Canada looks like a creepy
Disney character here's the complete how-to kazoo there's a whole book about it I thought
you just buzz into it she's the expert though all right there's another version of that
electric kazoo that they're selling in the gift store released in 2009 oh Mr Rogers playing
the kazoo I actually remember this episode I'm serious I remember that episode of Mr
Rogers I think that's when I really really wanted a kazoo back then and then in 2019
Facebook premieres a television commercial during the Grammys that features the international
kazoo Players Association I had no idea there was such a thing look at that one it's like
an electrical saxophone there some more wood creations uh Big Dave's fish collar I wonder
if that actually works Colleen fish and try it and then a nice wooden kazoo there has
got to be at least a million kazoos in this place guys I mean they make a lot of them
here and we're just getting ready for our tour to start there's this huge American flag
made out of you guessed it kazoos probably close to 10 000 kazoos in this American flag
love it America well change of plans um that's weird kind of dumb um you actually paved your
14.50 at the end of the of the tour and as we're getting started as we're getting ready
to start the tour a lady came up to me I guess runs the place and she says sir there's no
videography allowed uh in in the tour I said oh well what about all the video I've gotten
out here and she said well that's fine you just can't take videography because we can't
let any of our faces be on
I just I just turned around and walked out I said yeah so you can't you can't film on
the tour I can't share it with my audience so I'm not gonna sit through it I'm not gonna
pay kind of grumpy about it but it is what it is I'll uh save my 14 bucks and take it
in here to the KFC love me some KFC chicken yeah yeah only thing is can't share this with
you like I was going to share the kazoo Museum love it love me some KMC [Music] so good I
always get the same thing kind of weird but I get the three piece but all drumsticks and
mashed potatoes I love the dark meat drumsticks and of course you guys know I've I've enjoyed
KFC for quite some time Colonel Sanders I've got my big KFC sign in storage in Arizona
which I want to display at some point but do you call it fast food is KFC fast food
I think it is a fast food restaurant so it's my favorite fast food restaurant by far oh
that made me feel better you know there was a time right before I started collecting Harley
stuff where I was gonna try to collect Kentucky Fried Chicken stuff turns out the good thing
I didn't do that because you can't find much stuff I mean go to antique stores thrift stores
finding something KFC is not likely finding Harley stuff Mickey Mouse stuff and Camel
cigarette stuff lot more better chance
trying to decide trying to figure this all out because I don't know what it is about
the last few weeks it's just I don't feel like I'm on the right page with what I want
to do and things are just not working out like I planned them in my head and it's throwing
me off my game and and I just can't seem to I just can't seem to put together a a good
day you know on the road like I used to be able to there's just so much out of my control
lately and um behind the scenes it's it's frustrating me a little bit and I don't know
what to do but I'm a I'm a pretty spontaneous person I mean unless I absolutely have to
buy tickets in advance I don't like to do that because I changed my mind so quick um
when I get back to Camp so I'll show you where we're camping it's a really pretty spot and
uh we'll see the kitties and uh we'll just we'll just go from there and I'll figure something
else out okay all right so I get back to Camp open up YouTube and I search for the kazoo
Museum in South Carolina lots of stuff there's lots of video from that place including this
one right here this is a Carolina Tony he's from Carolina and he goes to the same Museum
here and ironically look at this he's filming the lady who said she cannot be filmed she's
even making eye contact with him and his camera at the factory tour and there's lots of other
videos in there too I so I don't know guys I guess she was just in a weird mood today
and magically No cameras are allowed on her or her employees today on my one visit uh
speechless I don't know I don't know uh nestled amongst a bunch of pine trees here with uh
a view of the water down there in fact we'll go walk to the water Pond right now I'm actually
utilizing Passport America service a resource that I don't talk about a whole lot on this
channel because um I just don't feel like I need it that much but I mentioned many years
ago that I had purchased a lifetime membership to Passport America which in essence it gets
you away from the big RV resorts and parks and takes you to more of these very small
family Run RV parks and campgrounds and you get 50 off your stays although the reason
why they're not very popular is because the rules are very very very specific many times
it can only do one or two nights at that rate at that 50 off discount rate also a lot of
times most of the times weekends are excluded holidays are excluded and some of the parks
even have seasonal restrictions where you can't use it in their busy time you know so
uh for me I never use it for something that I would need for a week you know I really
just needed to relax for a couple nights do some laundry uh dump my tanks get fresh water
it's kind of like my my recharge spot here on the road so for the passport America it's
20 bucks a night to stay here for literally full hookups it's really really really good
deal and uh most of the time that's that's probably what I pay if I stay a night or two
at one of these around the country it's uh anywhere between 10 and 25 a night at the
very most I am more of a boondocker so uh you know I don't need to stay plugged in all
the time but sometimes you just you just need a break and uh this this is a really nice
Campground but we're gonna we're gonna do something different now because I am aching
to Boondock in natural areas and I want I want to continue on I wanna I wanna even though
even though it might be too early uh I'm gonna Venture up north and into Tennessee and see
how things go I think we're done freezing overnight in most places yeah Tennessee next
guys Okie Doby tell everybody how you're doing you're doing good ready to travel buddy oh
I get kisses thanks buddy Tara bobera you get comfortable girl and go to Tennessee yeah
and after that be kind of creeping my way uh Northwest ish I need to land in Kansas
City for some more work the exciting tater tot smart car lift series soon in a few weeks
couple weeks but also if you're looking for some RV work because my buddy Robert's going
