Another best day ever! I love you!💕

[@frankfeldhaus9042]

[@SerbTerm]

Same I love it more than Daytona

[@garfixit]

Love that place good memories. Great places to eat

[@AdventuresofmalibuandDad]

Love John Pass. Beautiful area. Enjoy.

[@InsideTheBunkerAdventures]

Under the boardwalk…. Watching the video now! Looks like a fun time.

[@OliverAndDarin]

I love John's Pass, I go there every few years.

[@donnytucker]

One of my favorite childhood places to visit. I would ride my bike all the there from the Indian rocks beach area. Long ride but it was fun to hang out.

[@bas4116]

I am jealous of your childhood. I had to grow up in God forsaken Tampa :(

[@donnytucker]

@@bas4116 Yeah, it was nice to live next to the beach and get to surf after school if there was waves(which was never lol) so we would always just go skate. I spent a lot of time skating at the skatepark of tampa.

[@edwardbrehm484]

Tampa jay love the adventures surprise us every time Rays up 😊

[@MC-342]

Our Florida beaches are so beautiful. They smell wonderful too. Lovely day. Too hot for me now, but I'm visiting in a couple of months. I only live 30 miles away but it's like a different world. Pure paradise 🌴

[@PhotoGearFun]

Looks like a very cool place and looks like you had a great time! Thanks so much for sharing. Cheers.

[@helgabullabong]

Wow, dolphin jumped out of the water as the pirate ship pulled out. I went there in 1989, thanks for the happy memories. Cheers

[@trish5556]

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that!

[@CosmicKingGeorge]

That is a beautiful place!

[@bmcc4379]

John's pass is always a good time. Definitely a can't miss.

[@paranormalpineapple1928]

I Love living in Florida!!! Every weekend there is something new and somewhere new to explore. Thank you Tampa Jay and Cris the girl for your adventures you take us on every weekend.

[@ChinaDollTravels]

I love seeing the water and all the boats 🚤

[@Jenee1020]

I loved hearing Sloop John B by the Beach Boys in the background at Bubba Gump's. That was my father's favorite song and John's Pass, Maderia Beach and Treasure Island were some of his favorite places. Lots of memories!

[@dpmart3275]

Nice enjoyed

[@Shelly-in-Tampa]

Oh we visited John's Pass! Loved it there gotta go back. That place is so enormous we did not even see all of it.

[@paranormalpineapple1928]

If you ever decide for a day trip or 2 day trip to Key West try the Key West Express ferry out of Fort Myers. Nice 3.5 hour boat ride to Key West and saves a lot of driving.

[@deanaspivey1557]

Love this place! Love you and Cris the girl also!! Can’t wait for next video!!! We are huge fans!!

[@RusstheTroubadour]

Jay thanks for sharing your day w/ Cris the girl. Looked so chill there. Great video as always.

[@awaits9402]

Cool, looks like you caught a dolphin on video at 14:23!

[@OldMovieRob]

Great stuff. Its been ages since I was last at John's Pass but it looks much the same.

[@TheREELGEEK]

Tom Selleck wore about a dozen different variations of Hawaiian shirts on the television show Magnum PI and the red parrot shirt was the most famous of them all. Sadly the one you were looking at looked nothing like any of them. 😔 But still a very nice shirt.

[@TampaJay]

You should have seen the ones I didn’t show. Love Magnum.

[@bjornemccomb8262]

Plethora of interesting things! Especially the surfboard with “lick me til ice cream” CHEEKY!!!!!

[@sandypetro8907]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU....This makes me want to come visit that area again. I plan to visit again in 2023 if all goes well. Also looking fwd to your video from Treasure Island. Thats where we stayed when we visited last year. I absolutely love you two. This video made my day. Im actually so excited to see this. Thank you for taking us along. 💕💕💕💕

[@applevalleyhillbillygarden1093]

Cool area. Can't wait tell you go back to that upstairs wildlife place. It sure has the gaudy Florida touristy vibe I like so will . I think that was Punch from Punch and Judy's old puppet shows. Cool flamingo shirts.. Hopefully you-all will be wearing them at the Comic Com.....

[@Elyse1997]

We went to the alligator place years ago. Super fun. I don't know what it's like now but would recommend based on the past experience. Didn't know about the duck tour, might have to venture that way again ..thanks for sharing!

[@wynflaeth]

Yet another great video! Florida native here. I can't believe all the places I have never heard of that you are discovering. Very cool. Keep up the great work! By the way, that's pronounced 'madeera' beach. Not 'madera'. Just think of Madeira wine!😊

[@Luv2tickt]

I imagine that John's Pass Village was once a nice quiet little hidden gem like Siesta Key Village. Now...at least it looks like there's a lot more room to move about at John's Pass; Siesta Key not so much! I could put that wave sound on and just drift off to sleep...no melatonin with a Tylenol PM and Whisky chaser!

[@ellee8459]

Hello 👋 For Hawaiian style 👕 with Flamingos , look at 21 pinapples shirt co and have fun. Hello to Chris the girl & Bella🐾🧚‍♀️

[@robertrich9336]

Enjoyed both of y’all’s Vlogs! We are heading to Surfside Beach, SC, for a week away… got the whole family going… 😊

[@BostonMark67]

Tampa Jay, ty brother. Ur videos cheer me up and because of u I’m moving to Florida. Can’t wait ✌🏻

[@drwhodsds3778]

Hey guys, when you were filming the pirate ☠️ ship backing out of dock, there was a Dolphin🐬 breaching in the water to the right, lol

[@Bejennuine]

We were just at John’s Pass a week ago feeding the gators with family that came down from Indiana. When we did it a year ago they used sticks with hotdogs attached , but they stopped bc ppl were hitting the gators with the sticks. 🙄. Ppl always ruin things. Now it’s just pellets you throw. It was still fun to hold them.

[@anital5020]

We were there for Memorial Day Weekend. Really enjoyed our visit. We will be going back.

[@dennisud]

ANOTHER place I'll have to visit! Thanks you 2!

[@sandyb.5287]

We stay at Sunset Vista over the bridge in Treasure Island… Couple times a year from the Midwest.This is where we hang out and eat all the time when down there. We love to eat at Doc Side Dave’s in Madeira also great grouper Reuben’s… we love this whole area…can’t wait to return

[@christianbair3342]

Is Madeira beach crowded? My boyfriend, his parents and I are wanting to go somewhere that isn’t crowded. We were going to go to Fort Myers but unable to due to the hurricane.

[@gilbertgranby9339]

As the pirate ship is departing; at 14.23-14.25 a Dolphin can be seen in the Right Corner 🐬

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Hey, there's ya'lls matching "Flamingo" Hawaiian shirts! 🦩

[@joshwilliams4976]

Hey Tampa Jay. What are your favorite Spongebob Episodes?

[@joselassalle9292]

Great video, guys! It motivated me to visit John's Pass Village!

[@damenwalker66]

The sands is a great little place to stay. We love johns pass. Hopefully when we go back we’ll be able to check out the gator attractions.

[@kristinabunker54]

Very cool video today! We will have to check that place out, Thank you for sharing 😊

[@georose33]

[@TampaJay]

Thanks so much :)

[@robertrich9336]

The Gator 🐊 is in “The Upside Down,” Stranger Things 🤔

[@cyrbuzz6615]

I need to check out that John’s Pass. I’ve only been to that area once but it was a job I was doing and didn’t get to check out the local scene.

[@debramottaz4793]

I lived a block away from John’s Pass for 3 years.

[@johnwarren7845]

really enjoyed the video, getting ready to go back to mad beach ,it's a great place.

[@floridacycling4842]

The ice cream stands on Virgin Voyages cruise ships also have the same clever double entendre as their name.

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Fun vlog as usual Jay! Ahh the beach, looks nice there.

[@Hodi9999]

Why was the fish flopping on the sand. Because he wanted to get fried.

[@abbykilroy9065]

Y'all missed the dolphin in the water at minute 14:23!! 🐬

[@ezzz1109]

Jay and Chris, when are your live chats scheduled every week?

[@markimoofan1239]

This was a fun video ^_^ hope you guys have a great week

[@john_cubero]

I thought I was watching Adam the woo during the first 3 mins or so

[@dustinplemmons]

As the draw bridge is going down i'm singing "who made who". LOL The worlds largest breast in Hooters and Cris' expression....i laughed way to hard watching this at work.

[@TampaJay]

Perfect hahah

[@bjornemccomb8262]

“He’s got a weapon” “His weapon is XXL too” 😂😂😂

[@brianburman6580]

Does anyone know if the Casino boat left from John's Pass at one point in time?

[@bas4116]

Tampa Jay need to bring Adam The Woo here !!!

[@Jsteng08]

Great video Love the vibe of the town 👍👍👍

[@donttouchmysilver8202]

[@CoastalFloridaLife]

Hi Jay, John's Pass looks like a neat place to visit/tour. 👍😀 love those boardwalks and shops! Wow...great pirate ship. 🏴‍☠🏴‍☠ We are planning a trip to John's Pass very soon. Thank you and "Cris the Girl" for sharing your adventures. Safe travels and have a great week! 👍like 414.

[@brendacarter3714]

Great Vlog as always

[@robertrich9336]

You need to take Cris out on the deep see! 😉

[@robertrich9336]

Did you see the size of that chicken…. “Young Guns” 😂

[@robertrich9336]

Finger licking good! 😋

[@TonyBurchard]

Ask this question earlier and I guess you've been too busy to being able to answer, but was it Adam Sandler that said flamingos in a movie or on SNL?

[@TampaJay]

Hey Tony. This is the first time I’ve seen you ask anything. I do my best to try to check every comment but sometimes they get out of hand and I miss a few. That being said. I don’t know the answer to your question. If you happen to find out yourself. Please let me know. I am now* interested and intrigued. Have a good day.

[@TonyBurchard]

@@TampaJay Jay I respect you very much! We are all human and don't worry about it. I will tell you when I find it. I have seen it somewhere and the mission is under foot! Take care!

[@garfixit]

Love you guys ❤️

[@cindypowel7517]

Awesome Sunday Adventure! Reminds me of your other video a while ago when the Pirates came to plunder Tampa. The Flamingo Hawaiian shirt perfect 4 you & not a bad price. Thx 4 taking us all along

[@ericvdwilt4741]

NICE VIDEO, WELL DONE!

[@jennymodgoddess]

HI Jay! 🙋 I didn't know there was other Bubba Gump Shrimp Companies around the USA. We went to the one in San Francisco. It was awesome to see the area and different shops. Thank you for sharing this video.

[@robertrich9336]

Lots of good grub! 😋

[@davehitt]

Awesome!

[@JoeJoyHaveLanded]

It looks so cool, thank you for sharing it. We tried to go in October when we were down filming in Florida but just did not have the time. We made sure at least to drive over that drawbridge so Joe could at least lay his eyes on the worlds largest chicken wing. Was the wood jester Punch based from Punch and Judy puppet shows?

[@ForeverPositively]

Well Done!!

[@ToddEWalnuts]

20:21 ❤ 🤗

[@ToddEWalnuts]

That was the most perfect response she could have said, and I could tell from your face that you felt that in your heart. Ol’ Walnuts peepers got a little misty, I ain’t gonna lie. I’m sorry I’ve been out of the loop for awhile Jay but I’m so happy for you man. You deserve it all. Peace bro

[@robertrich9336]

It’s all of it! 🥰

[@ParadiseInPinellas]

Always love going here when we can. I was commenting on Cris the Girl’s video saying that big Parrots of the Caribbean boat tour has a Groupon deal right now if y’all want to check that out without spending full price on it.

[@charleskimberly3601]

Thanks!

[@debrareeves3982]

[@robertrich9336]

Hi 👋

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Happy day for a happy couple! 🤗 Thank you for sharing ya'lls adventure with us. Beautiful location! God bless 🙌

[@trish5556]

I was wondering what jumped out of the water as the pirate ship was heading out. I thought it was either a dolphin, manatee, or a mermaid-lol! It was so cool to know that Summer Rental was filmed there. I love John Candy movies.
