Have a you know have have my um have my dinner and I’d overhear people talk about how everyone was so excited to get snow so for all you people who love snow all of you in Savannah right now that’s something that you don’t have to worry

About or maybe you miss out on because we who get snow really enjoy it so that’s my little uh I was in Maine Jeff is in the house it’s raining here too that’s Upstate New York right Jeff yeah it’s it’s raining all up and down um crazy the Northeast right now it’s just

A massive Stormfront that um is just you know I you know I bet you they’re just losing all their snow too now it’s becoming ice so I’m glad I got out of there when I did uh who else have we got a full house watching Grove California wonderful just outside of Savannah

That’s Joyce Dixon Claxton Georgia New Hampshire in the house all right Jessica you got did you get snow Southern New Hampshire got snow the coast did I think Inland strangely enough may not have gotten snow it was a strange storm so I have a question your question who got to

See our first episode of season 7 anyone see it yet Darwin Australia our opener our Premiere really excited about that really excited it’s interesting that was our last episode we shot physically shot we shot it in September and to have this quick of a turnaround is very hard for

Our crew especially for our editors and everything that needs to go into pushing that out it takes months and months to edit a show and we didn’t have that so but uh so it was really great to get that out I hope people enjoyed it um

Darwin is a place that feels um just at the edge of the Earth and even people in Australia don’t um haven’t been to Darwin uh Regina saw it thank you Regina thanks Regina um so it’s really cool being in like Melbourne Australia say and when people said well where you

Going next where else are you enjoying Dar uh you know Australian we would say Darwin they’re like Darwin wow we don’t we’ve never been to Darwin and everyone wants to go so it’s a it’s a great um really cool D destination because just it’s so unique and I think more and more

The world is trying to find Travelers are trying to find more unique places that the crowds aren’t just flying talking to because uh yeah there as you can tell and as you’ve seen in the news people are traveling big time and places are crowded they’re over touristed and

The whole kitten Kaboodle and so um you know that Darwin is one of those really special places that is not of this Earth is so unique so oh my gosh exotic and uh really just um a really unique place to go and and you have it to yourself I’m

Curious Mark how you seen the first two episodes cuz the second one hasn’t even posted the PBS yet curious cuz I thought you said last week you already saw the Darwin one and it hadn’t been posted either so it’s where are you seeing these Mark tell us are you on the inside

Somehow are you bootlegging is this like a matrix thing are we going to have to send over somebody yeah um we got oh who we got your vintage fan Andy Wooten since 1999 well all right thank you vintage fan I love that yes so you great hotels right great hotels actually that might

Be V right 99 that’s true n yeah yeah 199 yeah I think that yeah I think you’re right that’s my first year of working with the Travel Channel yeah that would be great vacation homes um to talk about some kind of our our business uh Brent booked his first Amma waterways

Cruise um we’re really excited about that Brent question is did you book the one with Samantha for uh for July 28th um speaking of which we have uh we have a website now it’s am waterway.com Samantha Brown one word Samantha Brown that’ll take you to the site that a

Little more details about the cruise uh July 28th of this year doing the upper denu and June 15th of next year doing the lower denu both of those are on the Amma Magna which is her boat I am the Godmother yeah and I said that right because usually I say I the

Grandmother okay I am the Godmother of the Amma Magna and that Amma Magna is the largest river Cru ship sailing on uh in Europe I believe it’s about it’s double the size of most river cruise ships and um and maybe just a third more of the passengers and that’s a really

Great thing to know because you you still get that excellent service they don’t want it to be sort of a cruise ship um experience with thousands and thousands of people um it still has a a small amount of people and like a a small um not not necessarily a one to

One ratio between the people and the staff but they still want that really special service that you get that experience my good friend Dan asked if I’m going and you know yes you are I filled out a big questionnaire this week that I didn’t understand why I had to

Fill it out no one else did but um I submitted it and I hope you know I hope I pass muster the handwriting look really familiar that you know I hope I hope it’s approved that’s all I’m saying um yeah um so uh we talked about last

Week’s Chad’s in the house Chad Finley’s here he is our sound engineer amazing so as you listen to these episodes as well as our our next one really pay attention to the sound because Chad does and he does a lot of work um just sort of collecting pieces of sounds whether it’s

Church bells especially in Savannah or maybe a fountain um or maybe like you know a a carriage going over cobblestones Chad always makes sure that we get that sound isolated so we can lay it and really add to it because I’ve always felt um that sound is a really

Important part of a travel show that it’s not just all music that you know laid in or M me talking like we just sometimes want it to breathe and that’s where Chad’s sound comes in yeah and since we’re talking about the new season well we have that was darom was our

First episode this week well I guess this weekend unless you’re Mark somehow Mark’s got the inside track um the I don’t understand how it aired today because today’s Tuesday it it launches to the PBS on Thursday that’s interesting um but anyway uh someone’s in trouble heads are going to roll Mark

Trouble big trouble um but yeah so we had a little sneak peek this week to talk about our second episode which is coming at you this weekend and that is Route 66 in the state of Illinois I’m traveling a destination that offers an incredible road trip

Adventure but not just any road trip the road trip that long and winding American icon that beckons us all it travels through eight states starting in Chicago and ending in California and since I don’t have the time to go the whole way I’m going to focus on the first date

Which will give me the full experience and the short time I have it’s the place where the Mother Road Journey began and for me begins I’m in the state of Illinois driving it share of the famous root 66 I got to tell you out of all the travel that I do road trips are my absolute favorite started taking them in 1970s in my parents station wagon and I never looked back I love road trips I love Road food I love staying in motor lodges overnight packing up the next day

Um so you’re going to really I feel like sense that in the episode how much I just love driving I love driving and being on the road and just going uh from town to town city to city and it was a fantastic experience I’ve never um I

Mean I’ve been to Chicago Illinois um and so that’s about it for me in in the state of Illinois so it’s wonderful exploring that state and really getting a very different perspective uh depending on who you are what you do of how you um experience the road the

Mother Road um and so I’m really excited for everyone to see it except Mark who’s already seen it yeah um but since we’re here today to talk about Savannah in our amazing episode there we have a special guest we do we have a special guest and

A lot of people here know him I give it away him you know what it is now it’s him it’s him with a capital no not a capital um but yeah so we have our uh very good friend and special guest Mr David Dean hi everybody how’s it going hello good

Evening everyone I think Mark sees it on the dark web oh we got a talk Mark while you chat with Samantha I’m going to shake our cocktail for tonight which is the chatam artillery punch which is the most famous cocktail from Savannah and if you want a good laugh read about the

History of this there’s just the history gets funnier and funnier one one of the on liners was how how is it not a surprise that the most strongest cocktail of all time was invented by the US government my I can smell it’s crazy it’s so strong it’s I’m

Gonna pass out right now that is freaking crazy oh my gosh yeah so I’ll come back in a second all right so David is our special guest he’s always a special person but he’s our special guest because uh he actually went on the pre-production of this Savannah episode

He joined Kevin uh they had a a a a a buddy vacation and um well it wasn’t a vacation no um and so David was part of got me out of the house um but so and I realized so is the reason why you haven’t done more of this

Like why don’t you do more of this where you actually go on the pre-pro I mean it’s it really helped I think understand the show as from superp nuts and I know you would love to join us on more things but why was Savannah the first well I

Happen to live in Northeast Florida which is like hours away from s so I was it was very convenient for me to actually get in the car and drive up there I’ve wondered about this over the years most of the most of my adult career in the last 20 years or so has

Been on travel shows in one way or another it it hasn’t always intended to be that way but I’ve always wished I always used used to wish that I’d be on the shoot that I would be there I could I could witness what was happening

There I would work on the thing at night overnight they could you could see the stuff in the morning uh if you wanted to at the very least I’d be able to have all the great food that you guys have um but I came to kind of a realization

Recently that you know we have a a really small crew there are only about eight people of us that make this great national television show it’s not like a Netflix show with a with a crew of 500 I’m the only one of this group of eight who isn’t on the

Set and so all I have to work with is what I get on the heart hard drive what you actually shot and and I C have I can look at it from a much more objective standpoint than if I had actually been there and say oh that was so wonderful oh I wish

We’d gotten that I can’t wish that all I’ve got is what I’ve got and as much as I would love to be alongside you guys I think it’s almost better that I’m not that I think it gives me much more of a cleare eyed view of what

You did and doesn’t really tell the story you hoped it would and and let me let me interpret that for you invite me anytime invite me any other time I’m fine yeah but but but what he means is um because he’s not there he has a very different like clean

Perspective where he’s watching a show and that’s when I’ll get like Sam you never even said this why didn’t you ask that I’m not thater I wouldn’t talk to you like that I talk to Kevin like that but I wouldn’t talk to you well speaking of talking to

Me you know I had a great time with David on this scout because I’m usually alone having these experiences on my own just kind of talking to myself yeah and having a wingman was kind of fun and I I I have some kind of photos from our trip

Oh no here’s David learning how to make it Manhattan at the American prohibition Museum which was an amazing scene we just didn’t it just didn’t work for the collective group of things that we did but the the recipe tonight for our cocktail was actually from them um

Here’s a shot of David and I after one of the long days at work having some Ry at the local God who shot these uh uh we went to the gray which is one of the most famous restaurants in America it’s a beautiful restaurant I had an awesome

Gimlet there we were you know that was hard work so I’m sorry did you guys do anything other than well and then we you know it was after you know the hotel after afterwards you we had to celebrate the the busy day we had and then we

Actually went to a concert that night the last night to see Lake Street Dive Lake Street Dive um yeah was so you know we worked really hard yeah we did yeah we worked really hard it was great yeah um anyway before we move to the show this is the chadam

Artillery punch that was supposedly George Washington was involved in he goes all the way that far back and it’s like a bottle of brandy a bottle of bourbon a bottle of rum three bottles of champagne put in a horse bucket with ice and and the the funniest again the

History of this the funniest thing I saw was um they used to let the women make it sensibly and then whenever the women went around the men would put another bottle in the punch bowl cheers is rum bourbon I put a crush yeah I put crushed

A so it’s got a lot of lot of water in there gosh I will be slurring the rest of this this is about two alcohols too many for me yeah wow R wine well you know what that is very refreshing yes it’s not it’s not bad it’s a punch

Um Cindy where is it someone’s someone’s commenting on this we have so many people saying David we’re so excited you don’t see this David we have this whole like great list of wonderful questions and people chiming in and looks like Kevin and Dav were trying to create their own

Version we so which one of us is Bradley Cooper uh neither of us both of us the guy left on the roof I think um yeah so um anyway we we had a great time David and I scouting the show it made a a lot of sense to have David as

Our special guest because didn’t the whole bar know who David was David knew everybody at the hotel bar when I arrived y yep a fan favor they were fabulous um so uh do you want to get started yeah let’s get started all right I love this show I know it’s a

Great show yeah I love this one of my fav I’m in a destination that everyone loves an elegant city where the Spanish moss drifts and his historic squares that are just off a vibrant Riverfront but what it is known for could be misleading for what the city actually is

Like an epicenter of Art and Design education where creativity flows and acts of service to others where history is not settled but still being excavated and forged it’s where strong acts of leadership got their first start and still flourish today I’m in Savannah Georgia I’m Samantha Brown and I’ve traveled all

Over this world so we shot the savann episode in April mid April of 2022 we shot it right after we were in St Augustine so we did those back to back which was really nice nice place to be and uh yeah it’s um for me I’ve been to

Savannah I don’t know 10 times and what I love about this episode that you’re about to see is we really were able to capture a part of it that isn’t um isn’t what you see all the time I think people just generally Love Savannah I think everyone wants to go to Savannah and

They have their General ideas of why they should go and yet um I feel like and I’m sure David and Kevin agree because of all the drinking they accomplished and we got this beautiful show is that in the end we really showed it for the the strength of the people

That are just some of the strongest most um Innovative at the Forefront of history of progress that I’ve ever met and I think we really showed it for a city that’s not sort of just so preserved and you go to preserve history you’re really seeing how you know how

History is playing out now and the people who kind of put it in motion so I I hope that makes sense I’ve had one sip of their drink which has 22 alcohols in it and there’s just going to be some diminishing returns it’s Colonial Long Island I where just everything pour in a

Bottle the reolution show work because of the people in them and and the cast in this is exceptional you will love absolutely I love what you said the cast absolutely they they really are and that’s how we kind of present you know approach the show we are casting people um for their yep

Okay so the last time I was in the city was maybe 10 12 years ago and this to me is completely brand new this section of the Riverwalk how new is it so this is the plant Riverside District and it opened in July of 2020 so it is

Phenomenal for Savannah what did it used to be an old Power Plant and it’s such a good addition for the town and you have potentially thousands of people walking by you almost every day and it’s just the small little glass box of of of joy as soon as someone steps right into this

Space that’s my arms are wide open Amelia is a graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design or scad the college has helped transform the city into a vital community of Art and artists Amelia’s own art focuses on women and inspiration oh inhale the

Future exhale the past we all need to do that right right people say oh that’s that one resonates with me or just a really special thing to have someone connect over it like we’re on this always say we’re on the same page and it’s really special too when people it

Inspires other people they’ll say you really made my day I’m going to bounce around some and share that Joy I’m like hey that’s what it’s all about Savannah is so I think you saw a little bit of Da David magic there at the very beginning where I’m just kind

Of walking where and while I’m walking this voice over starts happening as you’re seeing me walk and you don’t see who I’m talking to but you’re kind of more interested and then it’s only to the very end that we then see me enter into the art studio and now we’re in the

Scene and that’s something that David does just perfectly right David I’m gonna let you explain it a little more yeah yeah I love that intro to her I love the fact that we have a drone shot from above of you walking into that into that studio true yeah and it is so hard

To get drone shots in cities there’s a lot of there’s a lot of Regulation against that and it was totally illegal that we got that drone shoing I’m not kidding I’m totally kidding you can’t you can’t bring up a drone the Drone won’t fly um but uh yeah so you’re so

Right but I love that beginning because it kind of whenever we do these shows we really work hard not to make it like Sam enters the store Sam talks to the artist Sam learns about this we really there’s there’s sort of this layering where you don’t know what’s happening as an

Audience member but you know at some point you’re going to see where I land and I love where I land there you know one of the things things that we really worked hard on for this episode David and I is we knew we wanted to get scan

Scad involved in the show somehow that’s so true we we looked at three different at least three different potential things that touched on scad and in the end us walking that ourselves and we w we literally walked in that store we we hadn’t we didn’t know we didn’t know her

And was just started talking to her and there was a little little thing on the on the I think we got shot of it that basically said she was a SC scad alumna and um you know I think my very uncultured opinion I I’ve never lived in

Charleston or Savannah but I think you know Charleston and Charleston and Savannah are rather close to each other some people you know get them kind of mixed up a bit sometimes but I think scad scad Chang is one of the the things that really changed Savannah not like it

Was a bad place to start with but just it’s got a very different feel to Charleston I think cuz I think all the scad graduates stay and they they had so much culture and and nuance in art to an already beautiful city in a modern way

That you you just go to up and down the streets of Savannah and you see it you see interesting things and and it usually has something to do with scad either someone at scad or something scad themselves did as as as a school or true someone that went there y all right it’s

True that that we met we met Amelia at the last minute and and and she was absolutely perfect for it and I’ve actually I’ve actually met her a couple of times since is that right I have and and I have this very now we’re over here

Yeah yeah yeah is the piece where are you where where’s my camera there you perfect perfect right there there it is this actually I bought this this is actually the piece that she showed you oh my go and and I met her and um and she is by far is for its neighborhood

And your ability person I’ve ever met yeah wonderful okay to the next well this neighborhood is called Starland district and it has a beautiful blend of Scat students the locals the tourists you can see even the architecture of the houses you know it’s Victorian it’s absolutely just a great

Blend of everything wonderful about Savannah I’m K Heritage I’m from the other South South Korea and we created big bond to have a community space that serves with our bagels and with our pizza so I’m sure you’ve gotten this before because you’ve got a good uh Jewish Community here in Savannah what’s

A nice girl from South Korea what does she know about making a good ethnic Jewish Bagel right did you get any kind of blowback from that oh yeah all the time like what you know South Korean making uh Bagels they just couldn’t you know uh comprehend but I had no idea how how

Hard making Bagels was so why did you go with the bagel then because we didn’t have it in Savannah we didn’t have wood fire Bagels so these bagels are Montreal inspired so Montreal Bagels you know they’re handroll Woodfired it’s not like the New York Bagel which is a more dough

These are thinner and when I saw the video for the first time I’m like oh my gosh we’ve got to bring that to Savannah yeah whenever I talk to people who are in the food business whether they’re restaurant owners or chefs they always talk about the fact that their

Ingredients are the key to their success but you really feel like your success begins with your employees oh yeah absolutely you actually open your books to them so they can see what it means to to own a business run it see the profits coming and going so they have a greater

Knowledge they’re just figuring things out and I I was figuring things out too and I thought if I can just share a little bit what I’m learning as I go uh whether it’s a business or life skills you know how to communicate with each other a little bit better how to have a

Little bit more respect for each other if we can just instill that a little bit you know to these young people that everything is about relationship I think they’ll do better you know make the world a little brighter Place Travelers will say Savannah is I love her and there’s so you know

You there’s so many restaurants we could have done in Savannah right yeah and we chose um K because of the idea that she keeps her books open and how that serves then the community because that was the inter that was a real theme with Savannah is how everyone that you’re

Going to see everyone we cast is a part of the community and they feel that that that responsibility and to be sort of a mentor to younger people as they understand and want to own their own businesses that’s just a level of that community that we’ve never seen before in places to

Love so we really wanted to show that because um you would never know walking by that beautiful Corner Restaurant that that’s what was going on so that’s something we wanted to share the bagels are great that’s right and they’re great really and you used to live in New York

City so I know you know I know well I miss them you know I miss them terribly um yeah and I’ve actually uh met her again I actually went back to Savannah last last year and stopped by her shop and she was telling me that NE the next

Week she was going to be filmed Again by Guy Fieri and and I told her gez it’s probably not going to feel the same as when we shot you and I have seen the segment that features her in the Dives and Drive-ins show that he does it’s very

Energetic no more it’s very energetic that’s their brand so so I we were lucky to have her and she’s this wonderful sweet person and she was so happy to remember me and and and I and and I brought home a dozen bagels and they were gone in two days so you showed us

Uh em is painting are you going to show us a k Bagel are you going to pull that up and have some avocado yes I froze it and just brought it out for just this very moment why not it’s a great walking City but locals now is the time for you

To show what you’ve got say it’s a great running City 3 2 and two Everybody Run go get that mile so earn that beer I’m joining the service Brewing run club which meets every Thursday and welcomes those Travelers as well as locals craft breweries embed themselves

In the community in a great way for us to bring the community to the brewery is by establishing a run club I’m Kevin Ryan I graduated from West Point served in the Army for eight years uh commanded two companies in Iraq in 2003 2004 uh after I came home found my way into

Craft beer our mission with craft beer is to give back to those who serve the country and Community First people took care of me while I was in the service and now I get to to give back to those who served uh through our beer and if you run the mile Kevin

Treats you to a beer service Brewing started only 10 years ago when Kevin’s partner in life Meredith gave him a home brewing kit on Valentine’s Day 2 years later they founded the brewery together one thing I have found in talking to a lot of people like you is it’s never about the beer

It’s about what that beer does in terms of increasing a community and what you do is so unique as well absolutely yeah so a portion of every pint we sell is going to a charity that we’re focused on at that time we’ve done dog rescue Charities we’ve done um better own Farms

You’ve got a pint of beer here so you just donated a dollar to charity nice everything that’s in this Tap Room is an homage to uh my military service and others military service so Meredith listened to the stories that I told her about my military experiences and put

Them into um representations that are humble but recognized sure uh the walls up here are parachutes cuz I was in an Airborne unit in Alaska um the containers I lived in a 20 foot container in Iraq for 7 months so we decided that she wanted to have the beer

Come out of the containers she commissioned 22 artists to make patriotic theme tap handles for us and so that is our tap handle project all unique one-of a kind pieces of art that honor people’s service but also honor our artists and their commitment to the military as well even though this is a

Very veteran Centric the idea that we all serve in some way is really really promoted within this Brewery like how do you serve and people can write yeah and people don’t give themselves credit uh you know I’ll be over at the at the board and somebody will be reading it

And I was like well what have you put on the board they like oh I’m not a veteran but you are serving your community you’ve done things that are helping others and they probably just don’t recognize or give themselves credit for it right right you know you’re having an

Impact and that’s all it’s all we need and then you know you have those folks that have their bumper sticker on their car says a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work yes well no matter how bad the day we have cold [Laughter] beer my name

Is I mean obvious like that yeah there’s there when when we found out you know we always want to put in some sort of drinking scene and and we’re always you know aware of the fact that we don’t want these things to get redundant you know we want there to be a different

Angle a different perspective into a beer scene we know craft beer is huge um but okay how else can we show it and uh he was just fantastic Kevin I mean it’s what he does and in giving back to um veterans and the military and how he

Served I do want to point out when Whenever there is a couple he and his partner Meredith own that together uh we want we want her we want the other part partner to be on as well and she did not so we always were like we got it you got

It but we we always extend the invitation to both people who own it and you will um maybe it’s not surprising there are a lot of people like heck no I am not going on camera and so uh so yes so Meredith was there but we weren’t we

Didn’t show her and I got to talk to her and she was wonderful but what they are doing is is exceptional and every oh and then we we also highlighted the fact that Savannah has all these run clubs like they’re very run uh Centric it’s a run Centric

City and there’s run clubs everywhere and so that was kind of a cool thing to show as well yeah and I think you know it’s a brewery but we’re not really talking about the beer it’s about about the people the passion and what they do and and adding the running thing was a

Fun element to it cuz I remember I had so many questions like so so what happens do we drink and then run is it like a beer crawl is it a race it’s like no you everyone just kind of goes offal group and it’s like yeah there’s like a

Half a mile Loop there’s a mile Loop there’s a two mile Loop and then what happens like everyone gets here and they drink a beer and that’s it’s it like okay and then when I saw the footage like yeah that’s exactly what it was yeah just basically a camaraderie while

While while while running and then drinking go back a few seconds if you can oh all right um speaking of uh drinks we have our two drink minimum here for our comedian part-time comedian Rabbi is that is that what you want just to start the scene cold Dave yeah sure I

Just I just want to go right to him yes well no matter how bad today we have cold beer my name is Rabbi Robert hos and I am the 14th spiritual leader in the history of congregation mikah Israel we’re the third oldest synagogue in America having been founded in

1733 and we’re also the second oldest house of worship of any religion in the great state of Georgia 75% of my household believe we’re the best synagogue in all of America my 2-year-old son is a hold out right now the largest group of Jewish immigrants to the new world to the colonies came

Here to Savannah by far the largest I mean we think they’d heard about what was going on with oal Thorp okay he was very open to people of different religions very open to people basically of everything they received 100% full rights from the moment they got here

Jews have always had full rights in Georgia which is almost unheard of right and really quite remarkable that even after Ogle Thorp was no longer here and after he died these kind of Rights still remained how many people know this history when they walk through your

Doors to get that I mean this is this is absolutely unknown I I feel in in my world and the history that I’ve learned that there was this group of immigrants just Against All Odds got here at a time that was just perfect the idea that there were more Jews in Savannah Georgia

Than New York is really not even a thought in their mind they came in imagine that I mean there were more Jews in the South than the North until probably the 1840s W so this congregation is founded close to 300 years ago and this room really represents the treasures of those 300

Years most importantly this one this is the first tourist scroll to come to America it was brought here in 1733 on the boat with the first Jews it was already old so we think the congregation that owned it beis marks in England sent their oldest tour scroll not believing

That 300 years later we keep it m because when you stop reading the tour scroll because it’s got damage you bury it like you bury a person it’s like the soul has left it but of course here they didn’t have any other ones so they kept

It and then four years later they s another tour scroll their other old one so we have two 15th century Scrolls wow and you actually have a letter from the very first president of the United States which really kind of sets the tone of how long you have been here that

You you’ve been here before there was even the signing of the Declaration of Independence this is the first letter ever from a president to a Jewish Community but you were also a part of Girl Scout history which is awesome Girl Scouts were founded in Savannah and when Juliet Gordon low founded Girl Scouts

She picked five women to be the first girl scout leaders and three were from our congregation probably my favorite piece of history is not the tour schools which are amazing it’s not the letter it’s not the first circumcision kid to come to America but it’s this one right over here

That is the first receipt for Girl Scout cookies what because got Le’s kosher bakery won the contest with oatmeal chocolate chip so this Bakery actually baked the cookies for the first time here in Savannah and since that time for the most part Girl Scout cookies have been kosher and they’re still kosher to

This day the Girl Scout oh you know that was just one of those scenes yeah me too Everything is Everything is a revelation everything and and then him again the cast like he couldn’t have been better right David we don’t mention this I mean you

Alluded to it earlier but the rabbi is a standup comedian oh that’s right he does he does stand up you know a minister a priest and I walk into a bar you know and and and that’s why I mean his his timing is so good and and and yet

And and yet his stories I mean the first Torah to arrive in America and it’s there and you’re looking at it yeah yeah it’s breathtak we had we had to cut out we had to cut out a lot I realized that because we did we had that in the show

Where he talks about being a stand-up comedian but okay that’s has to go because there’s so much and then the other thing we had to cut was above um I don’t I’m I’m not religious at all so I don’t know the the icons or whatever but

Was um the hand like this like Spock oh yes yes there were stained glass windows throughout St glass windows and there was the hand with this symbol and I was like what why do you have a isn’t that Spock and he said well Spock Leonard Nebo was Jewish and that’s a that’s a

Symbol for help me out here my team uh peace I I don’t know it’s some it’s something like I had no you know boom I had no idea now everyone who’s Jewish probably knows that but for those of us who aren’t that just I couldn’t believe

It like well Leonard neoy was Jewish and he was giving a you know basically a Jewish symbol you know and like peace you know and um one of another funny story about the rabbi is that his previous um congregation was in Houston and if anyone remembers our season five

Houston episode the deli owner Ziggy oh Ziggy was in the same congregation yep they knew each other I didn’t know that yes they knew each other absolutely I didn’t know that yeah it’s a small world Yeahs have certainly grown from that original five and today I’ve come to the

Birthplace of Juliet Gordon low to join a few current Scouts for an endearing ceremony called over teacups tea and of course cookies are served to young women who are transitioning out of the Girl Scouts as they are graduating from high school we are right now in the room

Where it happened right this is sort of where where the the movement uh was was born not only the founder but but a a movement do you feel that energy being here it feels weird because like this was once the place where this was just

An idea and now we are the idea coming to life I feel so much more like I’m supposed like I’m in the presence of somebody I feel like I should be proper and poised and like proper posture and smile and yes ma’am thank you you just of assume this time period

Formality so what’s one of the favorite things that being a Girl Scout really taught you was it confidence was it empowerment it’s definitely the leadership for me I gained a lot more confidence and I got a lot more courage to you know speak out and help out

Around around like all the things we do in our troop it’s more fun to talk to people when you have more confidence in yourself and you can show your personality more I like that being a Girl Scout you have to ask people to get the the cookies right so you can’t just

Like look at them and hope they just come and buy for you you have to talk to them you have to talk to the people in your troop so you can make friendships and like yeah just socialize in general so many people visiting Juliet Gordon Low’s house might have this impression

That the Girl Scouts was something that happened in the past what would you like people to know as they tour the house about the Girl Scouts about being a Girl Scout that they might not get by going from room to room this is a place of empower for women but also that girl

Scouts is here and Girl Scouts is here to stay because we have a job to do and that job is to inspire future generations of young women to be themselves and show the world what we can do well I’m going to eat a thin mint on that that’s for

Sure I love that Jeff rumck how do they leave the Girl Scouts stomp on a cookie yeah EXA that would be a good good way to leave but no we were you know this was such a nice um discovery that this is what they do and this and

We were invited to this anyone walking through the house wouldn’t see it and usually this is sort of not normal for us that we show things that not everyone gets access to but one thing that we realize is that every single person who goes to Savannah goes visits the you

Know Juliet Gordon low house and wouldn’t be an amazing knowledge to understand that this takes place and how wouldn’t that sort of Infuse and inform you now uh to go back because everyone goes back to Savannah as well right you always return and I love that I loved understanding from girls um themselves

What this what this um group meant to them and uh yeah I mean I I’d say that this this scene might be one of my favorite yeah I agree scenes that the idea of it when David and I were there scouting is that yeah this how did you

Find out that they did this this is a museum there’s a museum there but we wondered like well what what happens in in that museum for the Girl Scouts yeah and they’re like well we have the ceremony we don’t do it like every day on the hour kind of thing but for

Special occasions and the right kind of I you know again I don’t know how you book that but you know a troop will come in and have this moment they that they’ve they’ve done their whole career in Girl Scouts to the point they’re transitioning out and they’re allowed to

Have that moment in the place the Girl Scouts was formed and and what does that mean to them and so again David and I you know two guys kind of talking about this just this idea like we we want to Foster that kind of conversation and then I remember seeing that footage and

Was like it’s exactly what we were hoping for such a beautiful scene we we were brought into Kevin and I went and met some of the the the people from the Girl Scouts and we were just just chatting and talking about what could we do and they brought this up they brought

Up this this Tea Ceremony yeah and and we both perked right up W without about this but the thing is we didn’t know who was going to show up that day who they would pick to be in that group and they were wonderful they were

All wonderful and and I as an editor I made absolutely sure that everyone had something to say exactly which was kind of tough which was kind of tricky because sometimes you know it was just maybe a phrase but everybody in that room says something on camera

And and and we just didn’t know going into it what the scene would be but the Girl Scouts the the people who chose them delivered Sam my gosh you are so relatable to them they all spoke to you and felt comfortable with you and and you’re right it’s it’s a wonderful

Scene y yeah love it so our our viewer Allison Bentley um he posting some nice links if you go to the comment section we just a little more detail about the Juliet Gordon L birth place um I want to call something attention to the next scene I want to point out something to

The next scene okay um this is sort of these uh behind the scenes inside baseball sort of things there’s a scene in the in in the next scene where we are in the basement of a of a house that’s being renovated and will become uh a a major part of the history

Of this house it was still under construction and all we had were two shots of Samantha and the woman she speaks to and they’re wide shots and there’s duct work hanging down over over the thing and and Sam in her notes said is there any way that we can get out of

This that we don’t have to show these two frankly un attractive angles and something the woman said and I’m sorry I I’ve forgotten her name we’re going to find it out in a minute um she said something that led me to come up with what I think is a phenomenally lucky transl

Transition between two different areas of the house so I want you to to pay attention to that is it’s coming up near the end of the sequence awesome all Right every visitor to Savannah loves to just walk the streets admire the homes imagine which home we would buy if we could live in one of these homes and we owe all of that daydreaming to this house right here the Daven pous because without the saving of this home we would

See none of this none of this would have happened correct that’s right you’re exactly right in 1955 the Davenport House was a beat up all apartment building slated for demolition but there were seven Savannah ladies who were working together to save the old city and so they decided to buy the property

For $22,500 they took up a collection amongst their friends and neighbors they formed historic Savannah foundation in 1955 the saving of this house began the first effort of the organized preservation move mement it’s now a museum where you can get a clear idea of what it was like for some people to live

In 19th century Savannah but you also can’t help remembering that Isaiah Davenport originally built it in the Anabell South and how he had it built I would say that every house built before the Civil War was built with African-American labor and with with black hands um this city uh is all about

Those Craftsmen Davenport but also the enslaved workers as well as free people of color that were um skilled Builders currently the museum centers on the upstairs living spaces but downstairs a new exhibit is being created that will allow the Davenport to broaden their history telling well this is a

Revelation to us this was our gift shop and office space for for 50 years in the past few months we’ve taken out the false walls to reveal the history that we didn’t know about and so um this area is going to talk about primarily the people who lived here the 13 enslaved

Workers of Isaiah Davenport we have a hearth we never knew where the cooking Hearth was you never knew this was here no it’s behind a bookshelf for for years and years and years and so we’ve also got another part of this above ground basement where we can talk about life

When people the enslaved household were teaching their children how to survive in the enslaved institution as well as spirituality and things that were beyond their enslave labor I love it and and the way that you’re sort of Excavating the walls you’re Excavating a history and letting that come to life once again

Gives us lots of opportunities to tell a richer and Fuller story about this house and about the city you made very nice edit there I love that that’s that’s the one that’s the one beautiful beautiful wow yeah I think for us I’ve been back I’ve been back there since it it it it’s

Not I a year ago it still wasn’t quite ready but it it looked a lot it’s coming around nice yeah you know I think for us we were looking for just a little deeper than just old house renovated rich people used to live there this is what

It looked like it’s more just about the work that that Foundation did to protect these homes and and continue to be able to tell these stories because you know I think if if they that was torn down who knows what Savannah would look like today and they’re still telling stories

I think that’s the rich part of Savannah they’re still telling their story and they’re still learning about it and there’s always more history to tell which is leads us to our next scene yeah have heard of pinpoint oysters but you may not realize that pinpoint is an

Actual place just south of Savannah and that’s where the oysters were harvested and processed those facilities have recently been transformed into a museum which also highlights the Vibrant gagi Community whose emancipated ancestors from nearby Barrier Islands founded pinpoint in 1896 my name is Gail Smith and I’m a historical interpreter at the pinpoint

Heritage Museum my great great grandfather was one of the original founders of the pinpoint Community I still live here today so they’re newly emancipated and they live just over there but they settle here why did they choose this spot you know I believe it was a revelation the old folks believed

That God ch chose this land especially for them and they also believe that this land was made for them because the only way you could have got into these properties where by boat okay and they believe that water is soothing and supposed to relax you and calm you so

They believe that all that intertwined with them having this particular property but they were very smart I mean this is a beautiful spot Beau and I would imagine um being isolated with something you’d want to be at that time after surviving what they did and that protection really allowed this culture

To thrive to the point where now we can experience it ourselves is it hard to have um a museum like this that sort of puts your culture out there and you have visitors who kind of come in and have no idea what what even gulla means it took

Us a while to warm up to it of course now people are coming down that road and they’re um from all over the world they are so excited about galag GP people and um how self-sustaining we are and were for so many years and not relying on the

Outside world for little or nothing yeah yeah now in this room there would be four tabl set up in this area and the ladies would clean the crab and they would then start picking the crab okay and they would pick crabs in the spring and the summer or just in the winter

Months but in this building you could have anyway from 30 to 40 people working in here women working at one time every single woman that worked in here was gagi women you see some of the pictures that are on the walls the ladies would sit there all day singing gospel songs

And picking crabs in this room right here the men would build the boats and they call them bat which is just a French Road for Bo flat bottom flat bottom boat but we had had a couple of men in pinpoint that actually knit the crab nets okay they started off with the

Crab nets and then later on they went to the craft trap my name is Isaac Martin Jr and I am called the net man right now it’ll take me almost 30 minutes to knit a cram that maybe 20 to 30 minutes but during the young days I could knit in

About 15 minutes I love it here I’ve been here 74 years I don’t want to go nowhere else the gichi believe that Spirits were captured nightly in Indigo bottles like these and released with the sunrise this bottle tree at the Museum was forged by a local Artisan blacksmith named Gilbert

Walker and I’m meeting him at a nearby Waterfront restaurant called The Wild it’s oyster roast night and Gilbert is ready for it he’s brought his portable Forge with with him and he’s showing me how he makes his signature Cobra shaped Oyster Shuckers from Iron railroad spikes for Gilbert this work is personal I look at it as part of my DNA I was

Born and raised here in the South I’m also gagi people and um I used to ride horses with the city of Savannah Police Department you were a Mounted Police offic I was a Mounted Police Officer so uh you’re our favorite police officers everyone loves everyone loves a police

Officer on a course the kids love me what did you learn about your ancestry your ancestors and and blacksmith even though I’m a historian you know by choice I started thinking about the enslaved started thinking about the enslaved Africans that were imported here for that skill level the Heritage

Itself is very important for me the culture itself the endurance of the Africans you to to last and still show their skill levels it’s very important to me that I participate in things like this just for history’s sake if if anything happens tell you before we get to the

Last scene just three great characters with Gail Isaac and Gilbert no kidding no kidding yeah that tell their story that you know want want to tell their story and be a part of that story and to really promote like he said the resilience the endurance and the skill

Level of of um you know enslaved and then free uh just um yeah they they were the I love this this that sort of there’s a Trant with the with the three of just kind of setting that tone of the people you will meet in Savannah yeah we did not meet Gail I

Remember that when Kevin and I went to scout this Museum so uh she was just recommended to us and my gosh I mean who who better to tell that story and we did have a sequence where the the net man tried to teach uh uh Samantha how to do a crab net yeah

And he had tried to teach that to me on the Scout it’s it was pretty pathetic I’ll be honest with you it was it was it was yeah uh I was glad that you were doing that for us because I was I would be way worse than that you know I don’t

Know you you might see a I think I think you see a little bit of him trying to do that with Sam in like the ending I can’t remember whether maybe yeah because I think because I remember I remember now see yeah that the fact that you’re like

This is really hard and what then with him he really wants to teach it to you and I know this is going to be really hard and the scene isn’t about me learning to make a net it’s about watching this Artisan really so we I I

Think I we did it and I remember telling the the camera crew we’re just doing this just just to do it but don’t shoot it it doesn’t matter it’s all about him keep your camera on him because it is not about me and he again he he’s doing

Is so amazing and that that happens a lot where I’m like this is not about me so I make sure our camera team knows you don’t have to get a lot of like because they’ll go in and get my hands and and they’ll really focus on me um but we

Make sure and but you gave me the heads up David because I remember just like this is not going to look good and this is not what the scene is about um so yeah yeah and then and then later I mean in the Scout Uh Kevin and I went to Gilbert’s Workshop

And it’s Way Beyond it’s Way Beyond the the Cobra shaped oyster shers he does extraordinary work just incredible well he he did that bottle he did the bottle sculpture yes he did treat and and and we were talking about the iron work that we had seen in

Charleston and and he knew yes was he an apprentice Kevin I think he studied under the guy that was that founded the blacksmith School in Charleston I think that was the story the man yeah and he’s that good and and I I just want to say

One other thing we don’t do a heck of a lot of slow motion but in this sequence boy did it pay off I mean uh it was it was just wonderful and now let’s eat wow all right I have no idea what to do there’s no R reason just go forward let’s

Go the oysters are ready and joining me are some of the great people I met on my trip here you go out and you grab them bring nice I also got to try out one of Gilbert’s Cobra Shockers and he’s right it fits perfectly in my

Hand that and now I’ve got it open all right and I might find a pearl you might find a little just eat there you go um there’s hot sauce oh my gosh this tast wonderful Cast down the lemon andish do you eat crab I eat the crab I eat the crabs for Sure you can’t get a better setting than this right here being here at this restaurant this view this weather oh my gosh this is like Thanksgiving and so when you come to Savannah you’re going to find beauty everywhere I mean the trees are beautiful the architecture is beautiful there’s so much to do I’ve even heard they may even sell alcohol somewhere in town not sure but I think so and of course people love to come

Here because it’s a very walkable City these squares are like a a green necklace throughout the landmark District they’re quite Pleasant and a human scale it’s always moving with great and it’s it’s Fascinating People from all over the world just the different things that people are talented with

It’s inspiring on its own we want to show the talents we want to get back to Dignity of these people because before they were enslaved they were family members people who had everyday Liv just like anybody else but you know it’s an incredible place because it’s so

Welcoming and it has been and my wife has been very supportive she said you know what if you want to move to another place that’s wonderful just come and visit me and the kids here whenever you want when we interact with courage and Leadership from all ages when we enjoy

Strong communities built on creativity when our connection with the past is through the passion of people today that is when we share a love of travel and that’s why Savannah Georgia is a place to Love I love this show I love love this episode gosh that’s fun yeah wow I mean I and I think you we talk about leadership and service and you know that that’s such a theme in the city I don’t know yeah yeah absolutely and I think you know people

So many people who uh told me um like even from Savannah like I had no idea uh and that’s when we know we’ve done a really good job when people even their own sort of citizens are surprised Ur rised delighted and uh yeah just how um

Just how what you know what a great City it is and every I think it’s funny because everyone loves Savannah we didn’t have to convince a single person um why you know why they should go to Savannah initially but I think we gave them more to discover and we really gave

Them that motivation to get to know the people because it really is the people there that make that City all that beauty that that city holds the river the gorgeous AR architecture it’s really those people and I think we we found the right ones yeah and and I and I was I

Was happy that David was with me on the Scout because it must be nice just to have someone to like to work off of you know I was I was this Goose to the Maverick right there and you know it was it was good to

Have um yeah uh but you know I think the um we met so many great people that we didn’t feature in this episode it was so difficult we’ve looked into Irish history we went into a pub and we got a we got a wonderful Irish uh background

You this like the second largest St Patrick’s Day if not the largest the largest in the world the largest New York and Chicago the largest one St Patrick’s State oh that’s right they turned the river green right right uh no Chicago I don’t think they do

That they with the river it’s huge it’s a huge thing there we we we just ran out of time with it it was just uh but yeah there was that much to to explore yeah and it was um yeah but we had you know again different stories

With related to scad we had um you know I think some other food things the American prohibition Museum which was fun a great cocktail you know obviously I love my cocktails and they have a museum there which is interesting about Prohibition but but they do serious cocktail classes there really interesting true tastings

Of things and it was you know it was a really legit um thing so Lynn saying they do die the river green there that’s no we don’t we don’t visit Savannah says we don’t visit savan well I guess I guess you the fountain the fountain is turned

Green where is where’s V oh so maybe it’s this one weird um The Fountains that’s what okay so maybe it’s yeah okay um but yeah so it’s you know it’s one of those things that it’s always why do we pick who we end up featuring

And this was a real tough one for us because we had some amazing people that we ended up not featuring in the show and you mentioned that Irish story it was so interesting how all the Irish you know that Savannah was an Irish City for a while like there was so many Irish

Immigrants and they were welcoming to the Irish immigrants as where places like New York they were not and they all came from Wexford Wicklow I think um but yeah it was it was uh just really really interesting had a great great time there great time hanging out with

David the the team at visit Savannah was so helpful for us to put us in front of the right people and you know just just to meet as many people as we huge huge uh good good people I loved them uh Cindy’s asking a um question how many

Hours does it take to edit and put together an episode oh about three three hours yeah um I guess about a month Al Together Al together because um we get the footage I have to look at it I have to get familiar with it um I I want to beili amiliar with the

Footage as much as I can before I actually sit down and do it and and then Sam will write a script or maybe she won’t uh maybe there isn’t one uh but but bullet points things to to follow and our first cuts are are significantly longer are always

Significantly longer than what you wind up with because our shows are typically about 23 minutes of material and that doesn’t count the the the the opening the the teaser all the commercial breaks the end titles all that about 23 minutes is all we’ve got and so to whittle that

Down from the first cut which could be like 20 32 minutes and just okay here it is here’s all the good stuff what can we lose and it hurts sometimes I mean it truly hurts to take out stuff that we know is great yeah um so it is the

Collaboration between mostly the three people you’re looking at right now uh to get that down to the 23 minutes that that it winds up and then my job is not only to do that to get the the whole picture and the thing together I have to

Pick all the music and I have to cut all that in to the right time I put all the sound effects in that s that they’re supposed to sound like they’re really there oh oh there’s a clue uh there some of the sound you’re hearing is not really the sound you’re you’re hearing

But that’s all part of it and and and and the whole thing is to get it down to about 23 minutes so I guess it’s about a month or or a few days earlier than that but yeah I think that’s about right um Rosanne asked a question just about when

Is it on and a few people have kind of chimed in just to kind of establish that this episode was from last season and we try to use this window of time and preparation and launching of our new season to kind of recap the previous season um because honestly we’re not

Allowed with our license with PBS we’re not really allowed to broadcast our own version of these shows for 6 months anyway um on our own platform uh you know it’s it’s only available at PBS .org so to be able to watch this episode um you can go to the PBS app or pbs.org

Or go to our website it’s embedded into our website if you just go to Samantha brown.com uh TV season 6 and then go to Savannah and it’ll be embedded in the thing there so you can watch it anytime you’d like um but you know our new episodes coming out this weekend is

Route 66 that’s that’s the new one um uh Dave David just uh Michael Dain was at the show we we could have we could have done a little high five yeah we were we were in the back uh that was I tell you that was the

First it was it was the kickoff of their tour of their tour and and I wished it wasn’t we weren’t all standing you know I I’m not a very tall person and and I was just doing this most of the time listening to to to

Rachel and and and Bridget and uh but it was it was a wonderful show and yeah and I I tell you that was March of 2022 and that was the first concert I went to in years you know it was just it was still you didn’t know band you didn’t know the

Band either I not well but I knew knew some of their songs well that’s a good one cuz we could talk about where we stayed this one yeah um places to stay in in in Savannah there are and actually the the team stayed in a really great Hotel um called

The Thompson and it was right along the River on the E on more East um so away from the plant side going east uh towards towards you know the ocean you really H Thompson Oh I thought you said you said that they stayed there you

Stayed we all stayed okay yeah it was it reasonably new hotel too Reon so it’s a whole new area so that’s why I want to point that out to you Vera because a lot of times some of those hotels especially the really historic ones fill up maybe

They’re out of your price range but there’s some really great new hotels going in right there along the Waterfront of that River and uh highly recommend the Thompson really beautiful views I was just sit there and and watch all the big shipping containers go by

Which is so cool it’s just such a neat great bar up at the roof loved it overlooked the whole city so great place to stay um David uh Lisa Burton was asking is that the wait I know you wait a minute the wait a minute are you from from from Travel

Channel days that Lisa Burton who used to show up on on on on on the oh like the forums youan did she work for Travel Channel or no she was a fan she was a fan from the start Sam what from from all those years ago when when and and she was on

Oh okay all right yes you mean like you know the captain Tuttle Captain Tuttle mother or father orange hi Lisa hi Lisa um is it is noticed uh something that that’s similar between David’s background and our background is that we both have these hard drives here yes that’s right oh

Yeah that little behind the scenes each hard drive is a as one episode yeah that’s right this this is my new episode I’m working on it now yeah it’s it really happens I I don’t even know why I’m I’m I’m able to be here tonight I’m I’m I’m busily editing

Recent Cruz we did cuz I give a speech and then and then David was there so we just brought him up and the the crowd ate it up because again when it comes to the behind the scenes and creativity David’s kind of the guy like you know I’m just the cute

Face oh where mother orange father orange go up there yeah mother orange father orange so Dan way back this is probably you probably 10 um before there was Facebook and you know anything um there was four forums and so that’s how people and Travel Channel kept forums

And you would write in after the show and be like I thought that show was awful and she was awful or I love the show and then basically there was just this really great community and they’ve been with me for almost 30 no sorry 25 years and it was Mother orange father

Orange because we were fellow orangan we all uh father orange was a professor at Syracuse University and I went to Syracuse um she still orange they’re probably you do too uh that we we are still in touch there was ex Ashley Christen X and we are still in touch she

Joins me every year at our big um party that we hold for places to love Captain Tuttle remember him David um of course I do International doc uh so so no one had their real name so was Lisa was that her real name cuz no one no one had their

Real name you would have an alias and know I knew who she was you know that name I’m so sorry I I I met her one night I I I think we met at Disney World yeah no I’ve met quite a few of my vintage fans as well it’s just wonderful

And speaking of meeting David I I forgot to mention that when this show did Premiere you know we’re talking about Route 66 airing this weekend well a year or so ago this was our new episode airing and David went back to Savannah to the to the they had an awesome

Watching party viewing party true yeah and David kind of represented us there unfortunately we couldn’t make it uh David Jeff’s asking a question why 23 minutes isn’t that the time for shows with commercial breaks and obviously on public television we don’t have the kind of commercials that commercial

Television has we there’s a there’s a few in there uh for our sponsors but but a lot less than normal commercial television so why 23 minutes that’s how uh the show itself if if you watch it on your television runs 27 minutes and 45 seconds that’s

The that’s the a lot of time and yes he’s counting I well they make us count that’s his job now you’ve got the opening title sequence which varies uh you’ve got the opening title sequence which is 20 seconds you’ve got the sponsors which are currently three

Minutes a minute and a half on the beginning a minute and a half at the end you’ve got a 14-second thing saying for more information go to our website and then you’ve got 30 seconds for the end titles if you subtract all of those what

You wind up with from the bulk of the show from the point of the first Fade up after the first commercial break to the fade out before the for more information thing that’s 23 minutes and now you know great um Lisa said she doesn’t remember her username but maybe photographer

Okay but hey your story checks out if David remembers you do absolutely So Lisa thank you so much you are truly a vintage fan you’ve been there I’m really glad we’re reconnecting and I’m really glad you’re here thank you um speaking of fans following our footsteps uh Tanya
