00:00So a couple of weeks ago, I said to my daughter, hey, let's go see the sunset.
00:02And she's like, I've seen the sunset a hundred times.
00:04I've never seen the sun rise, though.
00:06Did she go, like that?
00:08She's never seen the sun rise?
00:10That's like that guy on YouTube.
00:12You know what I'm talking about?
00:13Ed Bassmaster.
00:15He's awesome.
00:16Will you look at it?
00:18Just look at it.
00:19So she Ed Bassmastered me and goes, I've seen the sunset.
00:24I've never been to the beach to see the sun rise.
00:26I'm like, well, we live in the wrong side of the state.
00:29She says, well, let's go to the other side of the state and see the sunrise.
00:31So your nine-year-old daughter talks you into driving to the East Coast just to go to the beach to watch the sunrise at 7.
00:39What time was sunrise?
00:40Sunrise was at 6.41.
00:426.41.
00:42We left at 5.
00:43We left at 3.45.
00:46What?
00:46We left the house.
00:47What the hell?
00:48I get up early every day.
00:49It's no big deal.
00:50We hit the road.
00:50That was yesterday.
00:51Yesterday.
00:52I wonder why you're tired.
00:53I wonder why you fell asleep at your desk before showtime today.
00:56So I'm telling my wife the idea.
00:57Hey, I'm going to take the kids to the other coast to see the sunrise.
00:59And she goes, that is the dumbest thing ever.
01:01What else are you going to do?
01:03And I'm like, uh, go to Bucky's in Daytona?
01:08Yeah.
01:08Bucky's is this chain of gas stations.
01:11I think they have like 40 locations in what?
01:14Texas, Alabama, Georgia.
01:18To say Bucky's is like a chain of gas stations is to say Disneyland is like about a mouse.
01:22Or Disney's like one of those little carnival rides they set up in a parking lot.
01:28It was awesome.
01:31Bucky's is crazy.
01:32Now, I did stop at one in Texas.
01:34I was driving.
01:35What interstate did I drive?
01:37I was driving from.
01:38You'd be 10.
01:39Was I on 10?
01:39I was driving from San Antonio to Houston.
01:43And I'm looking up ahead.
01:44This is like 11 o'clock at night.
01:46I look up ahead and there is a glow on the horizon like there was just like a hundred megaton nuclear bomb test.
01:55I'm like, what is that glow?
01:57And I'm getting closer and closer.
01:59It's getting brighter and brighter.
02:00And I look over.
02:02I'm like, oh, my God.
02:05It's like it's like Clark Griswold's Christmas light display.
02:09Remember when he blinds the neighbors?
02:12I'm like, what is it?
02:13So I pull off because I had to see what this was.
02:15You can't drive past it.
02:17It was like as bright as the sun.
02:20That's what this place looks like at night.
02:22It's as awesome as the sun.
02:23I've only been to one in Texas like you, MJ.
02:25I've never been to one.
02:25Is it the same sort of deal?
02:27I guess.
02:27I've never been to the one in Texas.
02:29So Fester goes to a.
02:31Fester's weekend recreation is driving to a gas station on I-95.
02:35Is it a destination place?
02:37It could be for the two-hour drive it takes to go to Daytona.
02:39It was awesome.
02:40MJ, they had 104 gas pumps.
02:43A hundred.
02:44Come on.
02:44Ice machines.
02:45Look at these ice machines.
02:46They have these ice machines all around the whole building.
02:48Right.
02:48They had.
02:49If I told you they had 500 barbecue sandwiches and they were all delicious.
02:53This is like a convenience store theme park.
02:55Is that a good way to describe it?
02:57It's a gooder way.
02:58They had a 30.
02:59Hold on.
02:59It's what?
03:00I thought you said, is that a gooder way to describe it?
03:02Is that what you said?
03:02No, I just said it's a good way.
03:04Look at the swag he's got.
03:05I got kids t-shirts.
03:07Oh, my God.
03:07He's got a Bucky's kids and Bucky's a beaver, right?
03:10This is his brain.
03:10Yeah, Bucky's a beaver.
03:11I got.
03:12Dude, you're the ultimate.
03:13Bucky's service.
03:14You're the ultimate sucker customer.
03:16You're buying all their.
03:17You bought a bunch of tchotchkes and crap.
03:18I got.
03:19You're buying their merch.
03:21Did you buy a Bucky snow globe while you were at it?
03:23All right.
03:23That's ridiculous.
03:24But I did buy Bucky toothbrush for the kids.
03:26Oh, my God.
03:27Did you buy beaver nuggets?
03:29Okay, the beaver nuggets were great.
03:31We bought a bag of beaver nuggets for home.
03:33Is it real beaver?
03:34No, it's got to be chicken.
03:35No, no, no.
03:36Okay.
03:36They sell beaver nuggets?
03:37It's extruded corn.
03:39Like, it's like a.
03:40Picture a beaver.
03:41Would they poop corn?
03:42No, no.
03:43Picture like a cheese doodle.
03:44Picture like a cheese doodle, like a corn curd cheese doodle thing.
03:46But in like glazed donut covering.
03:51It was amazing.
03:52How many square feet is this convenience store, the new one?
03:54Because I think they've gotten bigger.
03:55It's enormous.
03:56It's like a mall.
03:57It's like a convenience store, mall, amusement park.
03:59A large supermarket-sized building.
04:01It's like a convention center of gummy bears and beef jerky.
04:05They've got 12,000 varieties of beef jerky.
04:08And they had every crappy hillbilly tchotchke thing you can imagine.
04:13They had a whole department store-sized section of, like, all that crap that you see in Cracker
04:16Bowls.
04:17Like little signs that grandmas hang up in their kitchen.
04:19God bless this mess.
04:20Oh, yes.
04:21Wine time.
04:22Stress spelled backwards is dessert.
04:25Oh, my God.
04:26When are you going back?
04:27That's the question.
04:28I can't wait to go back.
04:29Fester drove three hours over and three hours back to go to a gas station on I-95.
04:33I told my wife we could camp out there, like, for Memorial Day weekend.
04:36And she's like, I'm not camping out in a freaking gas station.
04:38I mean, it's not a gas station.
04:40It's like awesome.
04:40Ladies and gentlemen, this is Fester's Vacation, a gas station, Buc-ee's on I-95.
