64. 48 Hours in Key West: Sunset at Mallory Square

WEBVTT

1
00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:09.919
The Shark Deck. I'm Johnny Mack
and travel is back. Welcome to part

2
00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:14.279
two of Key West road Trip.
Last week we made the drive from Miami

3
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.000
down to Key West. Now we're
in Key West. I've got the portable

4
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:21.320
recorder and we're going to see what
happens at sunset at Mallory Square. Mallory

5
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:24.879
Square is a bustling square located on
the water's edge and the heart of old

6
00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:28.120
town Key West. As the sun
begins to dip below the horizon, the

7
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.039
crowd starts together and I'm part of
that crowd. You're here in a second,

8
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.640
and the square comes to life with
street performers, vendors and live music.

9
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.640
Yeah, it's a really, really
fun area. You could just feel

10
00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:40.920
the energy and the weather's warm and
the sun is setting and it's great.

11
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:45.000
From jugglers to fire eaters. There's
never a dull moment at Mallory Square.

12
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.079
So what you're about to hear is
Friday night, we went down to the

13
00:00:48.119 --> 00:00:53.039
water to check out sunset. The
clouds were not in our favorite spoiler here,

14
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.840
don't worry when I share the audio
from Saturday. We got to see

15
00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:59.399
the sunset. So we walked around
and we found this awesome Cuban joint.

16
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:02.600
You're about to hear that we stopped
there twice. We actually had dinner there

17
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:04.760
on Saturday night. That'll be one
of the episodes. And then we checked

18
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:10.120
out the strip. I'm still not
sure. Is it Duval Street? Is

19
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:12.439
it Devall Street? I think as
I wandered around, and maybe I had

20
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.159
a beverage or two, I started
calling it Duvall, like Robert Davall.

21
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.599
So if you're a local and you're
mad at me, because I don't know

22
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:19.959
how to say it. I even
took out my phone and I tried to

23
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.480
Google it, and I couldn't get
a straight answer, and I was like,

24
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.079
I don't know, man, I'm
on Google. Here in the studio.

25
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:30.799
The first thing says sounds like Duval
Streets. The next thing says Duval

26
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.400
Vaal rhymes with ball. I don't
know. It's a fun strip, so

27
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:36.920
here that as well. All right, let's kick it off to me in

28
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:42.640
the Porterble Quarter and it's sunset.
Sunset was a bust. The clouds were

29
00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:47.120
not in our favorite. Try again
tomorrow, and we've heard a cool live

30
00:01:47.200 --> 00:01:53.719
band and people actually cheerings right ahead
of that way, here's the b Strokes.

31
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.480
You forty five where you can look
out on sunset. Let's see how

32
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.680
pricey this is. Sixteen dollars salad, fourteen dollars seeson, that's not crazy,

33
00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:09.400
not crazy. Roasted Tuscan chicken twenty
nine bucks, shruffle crusted grouper thirty

34
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:14.360
eight bucks, gets a post for
twenty seven. I would do the sixteen

35
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:16.879
dollars salad, but I'm a cheapo. Here's a nice place to stay if

36
00:02:16.879 --> 00:02:22.039
you can afford it. You look
out at the sunset. Yeah that's because

37
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:25.360
yeah, we're steering in your room. Close his curtains. Ah. We

38
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:32.439
have some sort of man on a
very tall unicycle. He's like eight feet

39
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:37.639
up in the air unicycling. How
are you? What do you got?

40
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:43.280
I got a treasure, treasure,
I like your heart. You have a

41
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:59.520
great night. Government. Here's another
street performer. He's also on a unicycle.

42
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.759
But this guy with the tall unicycle
not as tall. He's gonna do

43
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:16.639
something with knives. This guy's gonna
juggle knives and they're like swords knives.

44
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:30.919
I'm gonna pull him all. This
place looks hopping now, may sound him

45
00:03:30.919 --> 00:03:44.879
heavy Cuban casine, good vibe gift
shop. This place is awesome. I

46
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.840
like this place already. Take a
picture here of a colorful rooster, not

47
00:03:47.919 --> 00:04:00.520
an actual rooster. This is awesome. I love this vibe. What does

48
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.759
this say? Welcome to Kyo Habana, experience the unique charms, sight,

49
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:11.960
sounds and almost an old Cuban.
Key West looks like it's closed, or

50
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.240
maybe we just went in the wrong
way. This looks cool. The monkey

51
00:04:15.279 --> 00:04:18.480
Man, like every small town in
America, Key West had its own monkey

52
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.639
Man, an Italian immigrant to the
island, and ground out happy melodies on

53
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:30.279
his organ Pretty cool. I love
these shirts. Wait, yo, really,

54
00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.839
I guess who's buying shirts tomorrow?
I thought this is gonna be I

55
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:39.000
thought it was. Oh, we're
so spending money here. Wait you have

56
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.040
a bag? Yeah? Why wouldn't
I buy these shirts? These are both

57
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:47.279
amazing. I'm all set for summer
man, all right. I got myself

58
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:53.199
a blueprint shirt with some parrots,
total Miami Vice vibe. And this other

59
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.560
one looks like the opening credits to
Miami Vice with the palm trees. This

60
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:02.720
is awesome. This place, get
it? We got some congas here.

61
00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:06.439
We're looking at t shirts or twelve
bucks. I'm getting these silk shirts.

62
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:14.319
They're only nineteen. We got these
cool rooster t shirts. This is seventy.

63
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.759
Oh okay, so it just so. If you want to look cool

64
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:23.040
like Arturo, it's seventy. If
you want to look like Dad, it's

65
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.319
twenty. Friend, Arturo is a
very nice looking man, all rico,

66
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.279
suave. He would pull off the
shirt. I would be able to off

67
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.399
the shirt. I'm going with the
buffet, look like the rooster shirts.

68
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:44.319
Thanks seven, great night, Thanks
you two. Thank you, sir.

69
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:54.199
That's pretty cool too. All right, we don't need cigars. We just

70
00:05:54.240 --> 00:06:41.759
cut through the street here. It's
amazing. The slice is so much fun

71
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:50.519
on my son to pipe. Oh, look at this nice outdoor here.

72
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:57.759
They got what's an area called the
Sister and you can sit outside. Don't

73
00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:02.920
know. Light's beautiful. What a
cool place. Let's I don't know what

74
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:09.879
is this. We found some sort
of I don't know if it's a cemetery,

75
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:14.519
but there's plaques. That's a really
nice bust. We're looking at Leena

76
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.839
Johnson, who was born in eighteen
seventy made her living baking cakes and making

77
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:23.800
cold candy taffy. She lived until
nineteen thirty two. I'm assuming we're in

78
00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:29.800
some sort of Key West Hall of
Fame. John Lowe passed away in nineteen

79
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:34.399
seventeen, the leading sponge dealer in
Key West. Sponge dealer. This is

80
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:46.639
fun as you can hear another live
man. I didn't walk that far from

81
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:57.839
the Cuman place. The Salty Frog, Oh no, the Salty Frog would

82
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.600
be a British pop This is sally
Frogs, totally different. Are you gonna

83
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:20.519
hear the music? The Mallory Square
Market, this is cute. It's a

84
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:26.120
nice outdoor market. We can get
pepsi or vitamin water kind of stuff onto

85
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:31.480
fit, fancy nick knacks. What
do I get here? Stone coasters?

86
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:39.919
Oh those are cool. Beach a
holic just in a day in paradise,

87
00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:46.799
beach therapy. It's a flip flop
kind of day. The Chicken Coop it's

88
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:52.240
closed by don't see what it is. The Key West Chicken Coop is a

89
00:08:52.320 --> 00:09:01.399
place that sells like rooster things different
than the Cuban Place. Interesting. What's

90
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:09.080
this shell something? Shell warehouse?
It's open, we get some shells or

91
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.639
has the price and then it claims
it's fifty percent off. But do I

92
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:18.320
think that's just like a cool steam? I still can't believe the shirts were

93
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:26.960
in sixty bucks. Well, the
Arturo Arturo shirts are sixty bucks because I

94
00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:28.559
looked at those because it would look
like a short sleep version of what I'm

95
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.159
wearing. It. It's like,
look cute. And then I was like,

96
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.159
oh, I should drop him a
text like the Key West Pineapple Stay

97
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:41.960
Salty shirt four bucks. We haven't
even found the main street yet. We're

98
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:50.080
never going to find the car.
I just thought, I'm never gonna find

99
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:56.879
the car. We're on green streets. Let's check out Deep Yeah, we're

100
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:01.879
gonna check out the Key Lime Pie
Bakery, but I need to pay attention

101
00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:07.559
to traffic and not get run over. Also the Coconut Factory, and they're

102
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:13.080
both the same store. After you, key Line High Bakery. Your options

103
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.519
key Lime Pie Slice five bucks,
key Line Coconut Slice five bucks. How

104
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:22.799
you doing? Oh that's fun.
It's Cookie Monster, except he's eating a

105
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:28.759
chili and it says Chili's peppers of
Key West with a dog with fire coming

106
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:31.799
out of his butt. Chili Chili
Monster is kind of fun. You get

107
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:37.080
matching Chili Monster shirts. Chili Monster
is kind of fun. How much of

108
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:48.120
the shirts? Okay, awesome,
have a good night? This? Oh

109
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:56.679
this, it's a recorder. I'm
recording my travels. That's it's an audio

110
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.519
recorder. Have a good night,
thanks, and I ready to thick.

111
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:05.360
I'm carrying a teaser. I like
it. Nice touch the clocks at the

112
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:11.080
five o'clock, appreciate it. Here's
Captain Tony Saloon. Oh wait wait,

113
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:18.320
check this out at fool Tables.
Good vibe. Right, Fool Tables,

114
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:24.799
live music, good vibe. At
Captain Tony's Cross Street. We've got amigoes

115
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:26.200
a bit of a Nashville vibe.
All right, Well, now that we

116
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.879
found the Ball Street, we're gonna
take a break here and we'll come back

117
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.519
and we'll check out the Ball Street. And we did go check out Duble

118
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.919
Street, Ord Wall Streets. Still
don't know, but there was so much

119
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.480
going on, I decided to split
that into next week's episode. We had

120
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.960
a lot of fun people watching.
It's a big, noisy episode. I

121
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.519
hope you enjoy it. Meet you
back here next week. Travel is back.

122
00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.080
Did you know you can name a
cockroach after your ex lover and have

123
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.879
it fed to the animals at the
zoo. Hi, I'm Johnny Mack with
