SHIRLEY: I'M A SHIRLEY MIN.

HI, REGINA: I'M REGINA MITCHELL.

A DELAWARE THEMEPARK HELPING ROLE ALONG WITH HELP FROM THE PAST.

SHIRLEY: THE WORLD'S FIRST MUSEUM DEDICATED TO PIZZA.

>> DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LABEL FROM YOUR FAVORITE BEER?

I WILL EXPLAIN IT COMING UP.

REGINA: PLUS, FOSTERING CAREERS FOR FUTURE MEDIA JOBS.

♪ SHIRLEY: THANKS FOR JOINING US.

THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN BECAUSE WE ARE STARTING OFF OUR SHOW WITH A COUPLE STORIES PRODUCED BY OUR INTERNS THIS YEAR.

REGINA: IT HAS BEEN SO NICE HAVING OUR INTERNS HERE IN PERSON.

AT WHYY THEY GET LOTS OF HANDS-ON TRAINING.

DID YOU HAVE AN INTERNSHIP IN COLLEGE?

SHIRLEY: I HAD SEVERAL, NOT MANY WERE HANDS-ON.

MANY WERE GOPHERING OR RUNNING ERRANDS OR BEGGING TO TAG ALONG WITH REPORTERS.

REGINA: THAT IS WHAT YOU DID THEN.

SHIRLEY: WHYY'S PATHWAYS TO MEDIA CAREERS GIVE STUDENTS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WHERE THEY LEARN BY DOING.

REGINA: AND THEY GET PAID TO DO IT, A SEVEN WEEK INTERNSHIP FOR PHILLY STUDENTS.

>> EACH YEAR THE WHYY EDUCATION DEPARTMENT SELECTS YOUNG ADULTS TO INTERN ACROSS PHILADELPHIA.

THEY EXPAND SKILLS IN MEDIA PRODUCTION AND COLLABORATE ACROSS THE MEDIA LANDSCAPE.

REGINA: JOINING US NOW, OUR GUESTS.

SHIRLEY: THESE GUYS INTERNED HERE THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS FOR "YOU OUGHTA KNOW."

SEVERAL WEEKS IS NOT A LONG PERIOD OF TIME.

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR TAKEAWAYS FROM YOUR INTERNSHIP.

>> IT HAS BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE WORKING HERE.

I ENJOYED HAVING THE CREATIVE FREEDOM TO PITCH AN IDEA AND GO THROUGH WITH IT ON TV.

IT HAS BEEN FUN LEARNING ABOUT THE PROCESS OF MAKING A TV SHOW.

SHIRLEY: WHAT ABOUT YOU?

>> BEING ABLE TO BE A PART OF THE SHOW, PITCH YOUR IDEAS.

WE HAD A LOT OF FREEDOM AND WHAT WE PITCHED AND BEING ABLE TO WORK THE TELEPROMPTER IN THE BACK WAS A COOL EXPERIENCE.

REGINA: EVERYONE HAS TO START ON A PROMPTER.

THAT IS A DAUNTING TASK.

WE HAVE ALL DONE IT AND DREADED IT.

SPEAKING OF PROJECTS, YOU JUMPED RIGHT IN LIKE YOU HAD SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO BRING TO LIFE.

YOU DID A VERY GOOD JOB.

CAN YOU TELL US WHAT YOU SEE?

NOEL: MY PIECE IS ABOUT A MEXICAN RESTAURANT IN SOUTH PHILLY.

THEY STARTED DURING THE PANDEMIC WHILE A LOT OF BUSINESSES WERE CLOSING, AND THEY ARE STILL GOING STRONG, WHICH IS COOL.

REGINA: WAS THIS A PLACE YOU LIKE TO GO AND EAT, OR SOMEONE YOU KNEW?

NOEL: ONE OF MY CLASSMATE'S PARENTS OWNED THE RESTAURANT.

IT WAS COOL TO LEARN ABOUT THEM AND HOW THEY RUN IT.

REGINA: YOUR PROGRAM WAS MORE PERSONAL WITH THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE.

LAMAR: I DECIDED TO DO A PIECE ABOUT PA DRIVERS LICENSE.

I DID NOT SEE INFORMATION ONLINE ANYWHERE ABOUT WHAT IS EXPECTED.

I THOUGHT I WOULD TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO MAKE A VIDEO WITH TIPS AND POINTS AND WHAT TO DO ON EACH SECTION OF THE TEST.

SHIRLEY: I THINK THAT WOULD HELP A LOT OF PEOPLE.

REGINA: IT WOULD HELP ME, I FAILED THREE TIMES.

SHIRLEY: THAT EXPLAINS A LOT.

LET'S GO TO VIDEO.

NOEL: DRIVING -- LAMAR: DRIVING HAS BEEN A STAPLE OF AMERICAN HISTORY AND DRIVING IN PENNSYLVANIA IS NO DIFFERENT.

NOT ONLY IS IT CONVENIENT WHEN IT COMES TO VACATIONS AND GOING TO THE MARKET, THERE ARE CAREER OPPORTUNITIES LIKE RIDE SHARING, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, BIG RIG TRUCKING AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.

NOW YOU'RE READY TO BUCKLE UP.

HOWEVER, ONE THING STANDS BETWEEN YOU AND THE OPEN ROAD.

THE DREADFUL PENNDOT EXAM.

AS ONE WHO RECENTLY CONQUERED HIS EXAM, LET ME SHOW YOU TRICKS TO PASS.

THERE ARE THREE MAIN PARTS OF THE EXAM.

THE KNOWLEDGE TEST, PARALLEL PARKING TEST, AND THE ROAD TEST.

ONCE YOU ARRIVE, YOU PULL UP BEHIND A YELLOW LINE AND WAIT FOR THE EXAMINER TO COME TO YOU.

YOU WILL SHOW THE EXAMINER YOUR PERMIT, THE CAR INSURANCE AND REGISTRATION, AND THE OTHER PERSON'S LICENSE.

YOU TAKE YOUR FIRST TEST AT THE YELLOW LINE.

TO PREPARE FOR THE KNOWLEDGE TEST, WRITE DOWN THESE CONTROLS.

ONE, TURN THE CAR ON.

TWO, TURN YOUR SING -- SIGNAL TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT.

THREE, HAVE YOUR LIGHTS OR EMERGENCY FLASHERS.

FOUR, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HIGH-LOW.

FIVE, PARKING BRAKE OR EMERGENCY BRAKE.

SIX, STEP ON THE BRAKES.

SEVEN, PARKING LIGHTS.

EIGHT, LOW BEAMS.

NINE, HIGH BEAMS.

HAVE SOMEONE READ THEM TO YOU OUT OF ORDER SO YOU CAN BE PREPARED FOR WHATEVER ORDER THE EXAMINER ASKS YOU TO DO THIS IN.

AFTER THE KNOWLEDGE TEST OF THE INSTRUCTOR WILL GET IN THE CAR WITH YOU AND TELL YOU TO PULL UP TO A PARALLEL PARKING SPOT.

WHEN PULLING UP, TURN ON YOUR SIGNAL THREE SECONDS FOR YOU ARE ABOUT TO PARK.

THIS IS TO LET OTHER DRIVERS KNOW AHEAD OF TIME YOU'RE PLANNING TO PARK SO THEY HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO REACT.

AFTER THIS, YOU TAKE THE ROAD TEST.

FOR THE ROAD TEST, YOU GO WHERE THE DRIVER INSTRUCTS YOU TO, THEN DRIVE BACK TO THE STARTING POINT AND PARK YOUR CAR.

THAT IS WHEN THE TEST ENDS.

-- TEST ENDS.

WHEN I FIRST TOOK MY DRIVER'S TEST, I FAILED TO COMMUNICATE.

I WAS SO UPSET, I RESCHEDULED IMMEDIATELY.

I WENT BACK TWO DAYS LATER AND PASSED WITH FLYING COLORS.

I HOPE TO SEE YOU ONE DAY ON THE OPEN ROAD, TOO.

SEE YOU LATER.

♪ >> [SPEAKING SPANISH] ♪ >> [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] >> THE FIRST THING, WE OPENED OUR DOORS.

IT WAS NOT BUSY.

ONCE WE STARTED GETTING THE FIRST ORDERS, $10 ORDERS FOR EMPANADAS OR TACOS, WE REALIZED THROUGH WORD-OF-MOUTH OUR BUSINESS WAS REALLY TAKING OFF.

>> [SPEAKING SPANISH] >> EVEN AGAINST THOSE ODDS, MY PARENTS THANKFULLY WERE ABLE TO HOLD THE LINE.

MY BROTHERS TOO WERE ABLE.

THE ONLY REASON WE ARE HERE AND THE LIGHTS ARE ON IS BECAUSE OF THE COMMUNITY AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND US.

I CANNOT STRESS THAT ENOUGH.

>> [SPEAKING SPANISH] [SPEAKING SPANISH] SHIRLEY: YOU GUYS DID A GREAT JOB.

ONE, I LOVED YOUR TIPS OF WHAT TO EXPECT, SO HELPFUL.

REGINA: AND THAT PARALLEL PARKING.

SHIRLEY: YOUR STORY WITH THE RESTAURANT OWNERS WAS REALLY COMPELLING.

I LOVE HOW YOU GOT THEM TO SPEAK THEIR HEART.

REGINA: AND OPEN UP WHAT THEY STRUGGLED THROUGH.

REALLY GOOD.

ALWAYS HUNGRY.

WE DEFINITELY HOPE TO SEE MORE STORIES FROM BOTH OF YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

SHIRLEY: I AM SURE WE WILL.

WE WISH YOU MUCH SUCCESS AS YOU HEAD BACK.

THANK YOU, GUYS.

FOR MANY OF US, SOCIAL DISTANCING INTERRUPTED HOW WE INTERACT WITH ONE ANOTHER.

JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY DOES NOT MEAN WE CANNOT STILL BE POLITE.

>> COMMUNICATION ETIQUETTE IS ALL ABOUT HOW THE ENERGY FEELS.

IF YOU REALLY PAY ATTENTION, YOU CAN TELL, BACK UP.

I HAVE A RULE I LIVE BY, BE NICE TO PEOPLE AND TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED.

YOU CAN FEEL WHEN SOMEONE IS SMILING AT YOU.

EVEN IF YOU ARE WEARING A MASK, IT SHOWS IN YOUR EYES.

-- YOUR EYES.

IT IS ALWAYS IN STYLE TO BE POLITE AND KIND.

ASK PEOPLE HOW THEY ARE.

WHAT IS NEW, WHAT IS HAPPENING?

PEOPLE WANT TO ENGAGE, SHARE STORIES.

IF SOMEONE DOES NOT WANT TO SHARE OR ENGAGE, WE NEED TO RESPECT THAT, TOO.

BEING MINDFUL AND PAYING ATTENTION.

WHEN YOU WALK IN A STORE AND SAY GOOD MORNING TO SOMEBODY, YOU MAY BE THE ONLY PERSON THAT DAY SAYING GOOD MORNING.

BE TRUE TO YOU.

IF SOMEBODY GOES OUT OF THEIR WAY, ACKNOWLEDGE IT.

A TEXT IS GREAT.

MAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF, BE KIND TO OTHERS.

SMILE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN.

MOST IMPORTANTLY, LET'S ALL GIVE PEOPLE A PASS.

SHIRLEY: WHYY CHECK OUT WHYY'S LATEST PODCAST, HALF-VAXXED.

IN THE PHILLY SCANDAL AND WHAT IT SAYS ABOUT OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.

REGINA: EVEN BEFORE THE PANDEMIC, MENTAL ILLNESS WAS A GROWING PROBLEM FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.

WE ARE NOW IN AN ALL-TIME CRISIS WITH SCHOOL BEGINNING AND MASK MANDATES BACK IN EFFECT.

DOCTORS LIKE DR. LEWIS SAY IT IS TIME FOR ALL HANDS ON DECK.

>> THERE ARE INCREASES, BUT THIS YEAR, IT HAS BEEN MORE SIGNIFICANT IN FAMILIES, PARENTS REACHING OUT TO US, EXPRESSING CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR KIDS.

REGINA: AS DATA POURS IN FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THE NUMBERS ARE ALARMING.

INCREASES IN DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND OTHER MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS AMONGST CHILDREN.

ALL SIGNS POINT TO THE PANDEMIC AS THE PROBLEM.

>> THIS WAS A PARTICULARLY CHALLENGING STRESSOR BECAUSE OF THE LENGTH IT HAS BEEN OCCURRING, AS WELL AS THE GLOBAL IMPACT.

IN TERMS OF ACADEMIC FUNCTIONING, SOCIAL FUNCTIONING.

WE ARE SEEING LOTS OF CHILDREN STRUGGLING.

REGINA: DR. JASON LEWIS, DIRECTOR OF THE MOOD, ANXIETY AND TRAUMA UNIT AT THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL OF PHILADELPHIA, SAYS SOCIAL DISTANCING, LEARNING VIA ZOOM, AND THE CONSTANT DEATH TOLL, CREATED A STRESSFUL INSIGHT -- ENVIRONMENT FOR KIDS.

SOME WITH DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.

ACCORDING TO THE CDC, EMERGENCY VISITS FOR SUICIDES WERE UP 50% FOR TEEN GIRLS THIS YEAR COMPARED TO 2019, AND UP 4% FOR BOYS.

HOSPITALS AROUND THE COUNTRY SAW A 31% INCREASE IN CHILDREN 12 YEARS OLD TO 17 YEARS OLD SEEKING HELP FOR MENTAL ILLNESS.

AND A 24% INCREASE FROM AGES FIVE TO 11.

IT IS EVEN HIGHER FOR PEOPLE OF COLOR AND THOSE WITH NO ACCESS TO CARE.

IT IS MAXING OUT HOSPITAL BEDS, LEAVING KIDS IN EMERGENCY ROOMS SOMETIMES FOR WEEKS.

DR. LEWIS: THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNFORTUNATELY A GAP BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS NEEDING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH TREATMENT AND THE NUMBER OF PROVIDERS.

THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GAP.

WITH ANXIETY AND FAMILIES LOOKING FOR SERVICES INCREASES, IT ONLY WIDENS THE GAP.

THE STRESS THE SYSTEM IS UNDER IS SIGNIFICANT.

REGINA: IF THERE IS A SILVER LINING, TELEHEALTH HAS BEEN GREATLY IMPROVED OVER THE LAST YEAR, OFFERING HELP IN PLACES THERE WAS NOT ANY READILY AVAILABLE.

DR. LEWIS SAYS PARENTS STILL NEED TO PLAY THEIR PART.

DR. LEWIS: FIRST THING IS TO LISTEN AND CHECK IN WITH THEIR KIDS.

BEING SAD IS NORMAL.

HAVING A TOUGH DAY, FEELING ANGRY, IRRITABLE IS NORMAL.

BUT LISTENING, SEEING, IS THIS HOW MY SON OR DAUGHTER TYPICALLY IS, OR IS THIS DIFFERENT?

IS THE SADNESS EXTENDING BEYOND A DAY, SIX DAYS?

IS SHE HAVING A HARD TIME SLEEPING FOR A WEEK?

REGINA: DR. LEWIS SAYS KIDS LEARN A LOT FROM THEIR PARENTS.

IF THEY SEE THEM COPING AND MANAGING STRESS WELL, THE BEHAVIOR WILL TRICKLE DOWN TO THEM.

DR. LEWIS: WE DON'T KNOW YET THE LONG TERM AFFECTS COVID WILL BE IN TERMS OF MENTAL HEALTH FUNCTIONING, BUT WE DO KNOW CHILDREN ARE EXTREMELY RESILIENT, OFTEN TIMES MORE RESILIENT THAN ADULTS.

WE HAVE TO LEAN ON THOSE RESILIENCY FACTORS AND LEAN ON COPING STRATEGIES THAT HAVE WORKED.

SHIRLEY: AROUND -- REGINA: AROUND THIS TIME MOST KIDS ARE DUE FOR A VISIT WITH THEIR DOCTOR.

YOU CAN HAVE THEM SCREENED FOR MENTAL WELL-BEING.

IT IS BEHIND AN EFFORT IN DELAWARE TO BRING MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES TO ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

SHIRLEY: WHEN THEY WERE SHORT STAFFED DURING THE PANDEMIC, THEY ASKED FORMER EMPLOYEES FOR HELP.

MANY JUMPED AT THE CHANCE TO GET BACK TO WORK AT THE PARK.

♪ >> ABOUT A MONTH AGO, FUNLAND PUT OUT A NOTE TO ALUMNI, AS YOU ARE AWARE, WE ARE SHORT STAFFED AS SUMMER BUSINESSES ARE.

IF YOU ARE IN TOWN AND WOULD LOVE TO PICK UP A SHIFT, LET US KNOW.

>> STAFFING HAS BEEN A PROBLEM.

THE J1 VISA PROGRAM, IT WAS A BIG BLOW NOT TO HAVE THOSE KIDS THIS YEAR.

WE HAVE A FORMER FUNLANDERS FACEBOOK PAGE.

WE HAD SPOKEN AS A FAMILY.

WE HAVE EMPLOYEES COMING BACK TO SAY, WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO WORK HERE AGAIN?

WE CALLED THEIR BLUFF.

♪ >> I WAS INTERESTED FROM THE MOMENT I SAW IT.

I ENJOYED WORKING THERE, THE SIX SUMMERS I WORKED THERE IN THE 1980'S AND THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE FUN TO RELIVE TODAY.

>> WE USUALLY HIRE HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE-AGED PEOPLE.

NOW WE ARE HIRING PEOPLE IN THEIR 30'S AND 40'S.

EMPLOYEES 30 PLUS YEARS AGO THAT ARE COMING BACK.

♪ >> ONE OF THE BEAUTIES OF FUNLAND IS, EVERYTHING THAT WAS THERE THEN IS THERE NOW, 36 YEARS SINCE I HAVE WORKED.

IT WILL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW I DO, HOW DIFFERENT IT FEELS TO ME AND HOW TIRED I FEEL AT THE END OF THE NIGHT.

I AM REALLY EXCITED.

I HAVE BEEN AT THE PARK ALMOST EVERY YEAR.

I HAVE TWO KIDS IN THEIR 20'S THAT HAVE SPENT THEIR CHILDHOOD AT FUNLAND.

THEY SEE WHY I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

VERY EXCITED.

THE FAMILY AND THAT WORK EXPERIENCE GOING BACK 36 YEARS AGO HAS HELPED SHAPE ME AS A PERSON.

ESPECIALLY THE PATRIARCH OF THE FAMILY.

THE FACT I CAN CONTINUE TO WORK WITH HIM 40 YEARS LATER, I AM THRILLED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PAY THEM BACK IN SOME WAY.

♪ >> I THINK THERE IS DEFINITELY A FUTURE TO HAVE ALUMNI COME BACK.

ESPECIALLY IN THE SHORTER SEASON WHEN WE NEED HELP THE MOST.

>> THIS IS MEANINGFUL TO ME AND MAY BE THE LAST CHANCE I GET TO DO THIS.

I AM SUPER EXCITED.

♪ ♪ >> IT HAS BEEN A LOT OF WORK TO GET TO WHERE WE ARE NOW.

IT WILL BE KIND OF EMOTIONAL WHEN I DO ALLOW MYSELF TO THINK ABOUT IT.

WHEN YOU ARE ON THIS TRIP, THIS RIDE, NO PUN INTENDED, BUT WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY AS FAR AS STAFFING GOES, IT IS NICE TO SEE THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE WILLING TO COME OUT AND SUPPORT US AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.

WE ARE VERY THANKFUL FOR THAT.

♪ SHIRLEY: MY FAMILY AND I ARE HEADED TO THE DELAWARE BEACHES NEXT WEEK AND FUNLAND IS ON THE AGENDA.

CAN'T WAIT.

NO SPINNING RIDES FOR ME ANYMORE.

THROUGH LABOR DAY YOU CAN FIND A LINK FOR MORE INFORMATION AND A LINK TO CHRIS' BOOK "LAND OF FUN" ON OUR WEBSITE.

REGINA: THE CRAB INDUSTRY IS HOPPING.

SOME ARE GETTING CREATIVE WITH THEIR LABELING.

WE ASKED A BEER EXPERT TO DECIPHER THEM FOR US.

>> I WILL DO MY BEER SHOPPING FOR THE WEEKEND, BUT I HAVE TO DECIPHER THE LABELS TO MAKE SURE I AM GETTING THE RIGHT PRODUCT.

♪ >> LESS THAN 40 YEARS AGO THERE WERE ONLY 80 BREWERIES IN THE U.S. NOW THE NUMBER IS APPROACHING 9000.

WITH THIS INCREASE IN BREWERIES, A BIT OF A PROBLEM FOR CONSUMERS.

HOW DO I KNOW WHAT I AM BUYING?

YOU WILL SEE SHELVES FILLED WITH CRAFT BEER.

MOST OF THESE BREWERIES ARE VERY SMALL.

HOW DO THEY GET THEMSELVES KNOWN?

IN MOST CASES IT IS BECAUSE OF PACKAGING.

THE PACKAGING WILL BE THE ARTWORK OR PERHAPS A VERY COOL NAME SUCH AS THIS ONE.

THIS BEER CAME OUT 10 YEARS AGO FROM A COMPANY IN MARYLAND.

IT IS CALLED SWEET BABY JESUS.

THE LOGIC, THIS BEER IS SO GOOD, SWEET BABY JESUS, DO I LOVE IT!

WHEN YOU ARE GOING INTO A STORE AND YOU WANT TO BUY A BEER, WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR?

ALCOHOL BY VOLUME, THAT IS CRITICAL.

PEOPLE ARE COMING OVER TO YOUR HOUSE, WANT TO HAVE A BEER OR TWO.

DO YOU WANT TO SERVE THEM A 12% BEER AND HAVE THEM DRIVING?

I DON'T THINK SO.

YOU NEED TO BE AWARE WHAT YOU ARE DRINKING.

THE OTHER THING I LOOK FOR IS FRESHNESS.

YOU WANT THE FRESHEST FRUIT POSSIBLE.

THE SAME THING APPLIES TO BEER.

HERE IS A BEER CALLED SUMATRA BROWN.

IF YOU TURN THE LABEL OVER, YOU CAN SEE IT WAS BOTTLED THE TAILEND OF MARCH.

BEYOND FOUR TO SIX MONTHS, IT IS A BIT SKETCHY.

ANOTHER THING I LOOK FOR IS AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE CONCERNING THE INGREDIENTS OR THE FLAVOR.

HERE IS A BEER FROM UP NORTH IN NEW ENGLAND.

IT SAYS FINAL -- PINEAPPLE AND CITRUS NOTES BURST FROM THE AROMA OF THIS STRAW COLORED BEER.

IT IS TELLING ME THE HOPS AND GRAINS USED.

IT IS A GOOD DESSERT BEER, LINDEMAN'S FRAMBOISE.

THE FRUIT OR THE USE IS STEVIA.

IT IS PLANT BASED AND CAN CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTIONS IN SOME PEOPLE.

IT IS ALSO RELATED TO RAGWEED.

I HOPE THESE TIPS WILL HELP YOU AS YOU ARE SHOPPING, LOOKING FOR NEW BEERS.

I WILL DO SOME SHOPPING FOR MYSELF.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME.

REGINA: DOES IT SEEM LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT BEER A LOT THIS SUMMER?

SHIRLEY: BECAUSE WE HAVE.

NOT THAT I AM COMPLAINING.

REGINA: THIS NEXT STORY GOES WELL WITH BEER.

SHIRLEY: IT IS ALL ABOUT PIZZA AND GUINNESS, BUT NOT THE BEER.

WE ARE REFERRING TO THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS AND A FIRST OF ITS KIND MUSEUM THAT MADE THE CUT.

♪ >> WOW.

WHAT IF WE DID SOMETHING FOR PIZZA CULTURE IN THE FORM OF A SMALL MUSEUM?

SURELY, SOMEONE ELSE HAS DONE THIS, SURELY THERE IS A PIZZA MUSEUM IN ITALY, NEW YORK, CHICAGO?

THERE WAS NOT.

AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS IN 2011 OF COLLECTING STUFF, WE ALSO WONDERED IF THERE WAS A GUINNESS WORLD RECORD OUT THERE.

THERE WAS NEITHER ANOTHER PIZZA MUSEUM NOR A GUINNESS WORLD RECORD WE COULD FIND.

THE NEW YORK TIMES WROTE AN ARTICLE ABOUT US.

THEY TOOK A LONG TIME BECAUSE THEY DID THEIR DUE DILIGENCE TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS ANOTHER PIZZA MUSEUM.

THERE WAS NOTHING, SO WE ARE UNIQUE.

WE WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WHY PIZZA WAS SO BIG TO ALL OF US, WHY DO WE LOVE PIZZA SO MUCH?

WHAT IS IT ABOUT PIZZA THAT DRAWS US?

WITH EACH ITEM WE COLLECTED THERE WAS A STORY, WHETHER A TOY, BOOK, MOVIE.

WE WERE AMAZED AT HOW MANY THINGS ARE OUT THERE THAT ARE PIZZA-THEMED.

THAT IS WHAT THE RECORD IS FOR, THE LARGEST SELECTION OF PIZZA-RELATED ITEMS.

♪ >> SOME PEOPLE CALL IT MEMORABILIA, SOME PEOPLE CALL IT JUNK.

ONE MAN'S JUNK IS ANOTHER MAN'S TREASURE.

THIS IS A HISTORY MUSEUM, BUT WE WANTED TO TELL THE STORY ABOUT HOW PIZZA BECAME POPULAR, THIS BIG THING.

ESPECIALLY TO AMERICANS.

THIS IS WHAT IS AROUND US, THROUGH ALL THE OBJECTS THAT CELEBRATE PIZZA OR ARE ABOUT PIZZA.

WE HAVE 70 YEARS OF RECORDS.

PEOPLE WERE MAKING MUSIC ABOUT PIZZA LONG BEFORE PIZZA BECOME -- BECAME A HOUSEHOLD WORD IN THE U.S.

SAME WITH COMIC BOOKS, TV SHOWS.

SOME OF THESE RECORDS ARE COOL.

SOME HAVE PRINTS WITH PIZZAS ON THEM OR PATTERNS WITH THE WORD PIZZA WRITTEN ALL AROUND THEM.

IT IS REALLY AWESOME TO GO BACK AND SEE THE ALBUM ART AND ALL THE EFFORT THAT WENT INTO NOT ONLY THE BAND, BUT CONVEYING IT IS ALL ABOUT PIZZA.

I ALSO LOVE HOW PIZZA IS A BRAND USED TO PROMOTE OTHER BRANDS.

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE EXAMPLES.

A $100,000 CAR THAT IS SOLD TO YOU THROUGH PIZZA.

THAT IS AMAZING TO ME.

HANDS-DOWN PERSONAL FAVORITE, THERE ARE THREE PUZZLES FROM THE 1960'S.

IT WAS RIGHT WHEN PIZZA WAS BECOMING POPULAR.

THEY ARE PUZZLES WITH MOTHER GOOSE NURSERY RHYMES, BUT THEY ARE IN A PUZZLE WITH A PIE CRUST AROUND THEM AND THEY ARE CALLED PIZZA PUZZLES.

PEOPLE LOVE ANYTHING TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES.

WE HAVE A GIANT MICHELANGELO FRAMED PIZZA AND PEOPLE GATHER AROUND AND PAY HOMAGE TO THE TURTLES.

WHAT IS UNIQUE, IT TOOK SILLY TO -- PHILLY TO TELL THIS STORY.

TO ME, IT IS AN INTERESTING PART OF OUR VIBE THAT DOES NOT EXIST IN OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.

THE CREATIVITY, THE WILLINGNESS TO DO SOMETHING NEW, TO MAKE IT TOP-NOTCH AND EXCITING.

THAT IS PHILLY.

♪ REGINA: I CAN'T BELIEVE PHILLY HAS THE FIRST AND ONLY MUSEUM DEDICATED TO PIZZA.

SHIRLEY: IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT, THEY SERVE PIZZA, TOO.

REGINA: THAT IS A REASON TO GO.

THAT WILL DO IT FOR TONIGHT'S SHOW.

WE WILL SEE YOU BACK ON OCTOBER 1.

SHIRLEY: WE WILL BE WORKING ON NEW STORIES "YOU OUGHTA KNOW."
