trying to rain up on us and the folks if this gets blurry here and there the camera can yeah almost rain drops up here in the corner close up here cause it's just a dumb old camera and it don't know no better does it hey that was great oh my goodness that was that was one of the best uh phillies i've had it was you gave me a big bite you looked like a big butt it was there may be better there really may be but but uh that that is awful good man it's good i will definitely love that again and i want to try the harlem [Music] uh so i'm going to try that because it it it it's that kind of tanky sound try the railing oh they have a railing pizza yes oh man that that may shoot you before you eat it i don't know that was legal this sandwich was so good the salad was so good it had chunky chunky chicken in it raylen was the lead character from the television series justified and in the television series he shot more than a few people so and and the salad was great yes the salad was so good yeah yeah and of course and there it is i don't think you're gonna see it through the rain drops she robbed mine had a couple of big old bites of it and she loved it and like i said if you're passing through here and you want some local flavor don't fool with a franchise you know uh stop here and get this that salad was really good yeah you know i think i think you said that and the rack salad the rack salad salad and their salads are great they're the best salad in harlan around here you know racks is kind of local if you think about it because you know it was a chain at one point in time there's a couple of them in illinois i think but uh our little harlan racks here is the only one in kentucky you know i think it's the only one east of illinois so and that makes it local don't it oh yeah i mean that sandwich was so good i've got to get that one i haven't had that these folks are doing well down here but they're cooking my compliments to shift whoever he or she may be uh that they've really done well that's a great sandwich stop in okay we're not going to well we're not hacking to do this because they there's music in there yeah yeah the reason we i love music it's just more we're videoing we can't have music because we won't be having videos yeah the reason we do our food reviews in the vehicles is restaurants plays music most of them does and uh you get it you get a copyright strike uh on them and if your channel's monetized that means they can actually the record company to take the monetization away from oh yes big time yeah real fast yeah some record companies are worse than others some bands are worse than others some let some stuff slide but um i remember my son when he was like 14 he posted a video of him doing a cover of a youtube uh song which him and me loves you too uh there and uh i thank the record company is island or something like that they they monetized his video and took it over in case if he made any money off of it you know he only had a few subscribers in here he was really young too yeah yeah but no they wouldn't want to let that slide man so you got to be really careful with these record companies [Music] but i love that atmosphere in there i want to go back and have a sit down dinner oh yeah i want to get me some a steak dinner and they have bands they have bands play sometimes upstairs yeah local bands i think it was too long ago they had to take you killers yeah the local fans yeah they're great yeah absolutely it's a great place if you're not from harlan and you're looking like i said that here as you pass through or visiting you gotta eat there and if you're from harlem you've not eaten there uh get busy man and what i was saying i want us to go back i want to sit have a sit down dinner and eat in there i love the atmosphere i hear that hungry goat is good here on the left yes over there next to the cricket warriors check those out there's a hungry goat on there that's what i hear i think somebody should feed it i mean it's cruel with animals like that man if there's a hungry goat over there i'll go feed it yes no that's a restaurant and they say it's good it's got uh curry out and dining there's hungry grunts and pigeon boards yeah as it always goes on the roof outside and that don't make any sense to me either because you know they're gonna eat the shingles and just cost you a bunch of money up there so yeah i i just i don't know if i don't eat with goats or not but anyway what i'm saying is i love the atmosphere of the portal yeah and this hungry goat place will definitely be a place we'll check out back here yes i love that it's real quarter i love you oh yeah i want to go in there and sit down and eat dinner um i love the atmosphere but i'm a coal miner's daughter so yeah because it's cold centered they've got like a wood or cold hard grill or something in there so so it's very centered around coal and you'd think it'd be centered around the banking industry towards an old bank but they chose coal mining yes it is it's really nice hey folks we appreciate you so much for coming along with us taking a ride through going out with us and when he talks he drives and just keeps driving he's talking i don't stop driving i crown state lines until i've got my story told is that right yeah that's right i know but anyhow uh we thank you guys come out with hey uh we have got some really nice great comments and uh uh don't apologize for your comment being alone we read every single one we love your comments that's what keeps us going we'll respond to them as you well and don't worry yeah he keeps us going sometimes you'll be depressed or not feeling like it's not gonna do a video and it seems like right at that time somebody makes always pulls us back out about what your video meant to them how much it helped them yeah they watched it while they were sick or it reminded them of something in their childhood and wendy's and man that means so much yeah and if you do want to eat at a franchise restaurant there's a good wendy's wendy's is one of my i love me some weenies yeah but anyway so so don't hesitate to comment that
