Miles's Dad finding the most random thing to talk about and his mom buying in and going along with it is the funniest thing ever.

Those white canisters are the actual lifeboats Miles. They automatically inflate when they hit water. That orange boat is a little rescue boat in case someone falls overboard.

Congrats to your mom for her play! And that is a glorious menu shot - fully encapsulates the experience of looking through fogged over glasses.

Watching this video right now while on the poop deck

[@NoLongerBreathedIn]

If you saw someone in a blue rainjacket fall down the steps and start cursing up a storm, that was me. It took weeks for my ankle to heal from the twisting. This is assuming video was taken May 5th.

We need a video where your Dad teaches ASL for common profanities. Congratulations to your Mom!

[@AronNopanen]

I will not watch any future videos unless your parents are featured.

Unbelievably wholesome family content, you are so blessed Miles to have parents like that!

A cool fact about the Long Island Sound is Teddy Roosevelt was the first president to go aboard a submarine when he did so in the Long Island Sound on the submarine torpedo boat USS Plunger (SS-2) in 1905! A sound is connected to a sea or ocean and is often formed by the seas flooding a river valley. This produces a long inlet where the sloping valley hillsides descend to sea-level and continue beneath the water to form a sloping sea floor. Sometimes a sound is produced by a glacier carving out a valley on a coast then receding, or the sea invading a glacier valley. The term sound is derived from the Anglo-Saxon or Old Norse word sund, which also means "swimming". The word sund is also documented in Old Norse and Old English as meaning "gap". In Swedish and in both Norwegian languages, "sund" is the general term for any strait. Along the east coast and Gulf Coast of the US, a number of bodies of water that separate islands from the mainland are called "sounds", like of course the Long Island Sound, a number of large lagoons in North Carolina lie between the mainland and its barrier beaches like the Pamlico Sound and Bogue Sound, and the Mississippi Sound separates the Gulf of Mexico from the mainland, along much of the gulf coasts of Alabama and Mississippi.

That axe is there so if the mechanism for the rescue boats fails, the axe can still be able to release it, in case of fire, you can use an axe to free up a stuck door on the boat, can be used to put out a fire between the layers of the hull, or to cut a mooring or towing cable during an emergency. Worth mentioning from Bridgeport station that you can also straight up walk to a Bass Pro Shop! Bridgeport was incorporated in 1821 as a town, and as a city in 1836. Showman PT Barnum was a resident of the city and even served as the town's mayor in 1871. Barnum built a couple houses there and housed his circus in town during winter. Bridgeport was the site of the world's first mutual telephone exchange in 1877, the first dental hygiene school in 1949, and the first bank telephone bill service in the US in 1981. Harvey Hubbell II invented the electric plug outlet in Bridgeport in 1912 as well, and the world's first Subway restaurant opened in the city's North End in 1965.

I see you still get flashbacks from the Melrose butter cake 😂. Ah yes, Impractical Jokers..."Miles had a rainy trip on the ferry, making him tonight's big loser". Whoa, your mom is a playwright?! That's so awesome! I’ve taken that ferry to see an insect-themed Cirque du Soleil show called OVO at an arena (I’ve also seen Kurios under the Grand Chapiteau on Randalls Island in NYC which they provided free shuttle service from Harlem for)! The first ferry service between Bridgeport and Port Jefferson began in 1872 and after that was a success, the Bridgeport & Port Jefferson Steamboat Company was subsequently founded in 1883 by several backers, including the infamous entrepreneur PT Barnum (who also had ties to Bridgeport), and of course they have a ferry named after him. Barnum owned a tract of land which ran through the village. His intention was to make Port Jefferson the home base for his circus, founded in 1871. The residents blocked his plans, and he eventually sold his land.

Miles's dad is the unsung hero of the show, what a guy!

[@noeonoohno4219]

Your dad rocks ‘you should see yourself!!!!’ lol he loves you lots ❤️

[@goldasian347]

You should look for the bar on the back of the boat. Sometimes you will meet a group of commuters called "Frequent Floaters" that gathers around there on the weekdays.

[@ck4426]

Your parents are so delightful and you are a chip off their blocks!!!

[@delibakerytravel]

You Have Very Kind And Loving Parents, I Am Very Happy For You. Something I Never Had Because Of The Person I

[@liminal-refridgerator]

Your parents are exactly as I would have imagined them. I can imagine everyone at school thought you had the coolest dad AND the coolest mom. You look just like her 😊

[@Frankfurtdabezzzt]
