Eastern Standard Daylight Time...

Season 3 Episode 6: Coach in Love (Part 1)
Airdate:
November 08 1984
Cliff has been on about his Florida trivia and everyone is scared to say anything to him as it will only set him off rambling again.

As Cliff is leaving and just about out the door Sam says "Later".


Well, it's not really later in Florida Sammy. It's a popular misconception. It's Eastern Standard Daylight Time down there too. Speaking of time, boy it really stops still when you're in the Everglades. They've got huge gators, you know gators are, what we who are familiar with Florida call alligators. Yeah, they got huge gators and giant crocs. You all know what a croc is?
(Sam, Carla, Norm: "Oh yeah!")
Well, the first morning there was crystalline as I was stepping onto the hydrofoil. The captain, Bill Bob Dupries, I think his name was, asked me not to bring the beach umbrella, well, cause it got caught in the prop on the way out...
(Opening theme song starts)


We have to hand it to Cliff, that was some pretty impressive rambling.

The truth:

First off there's Eastern Daylight Time and Eastern Standard Time but no Eastern Standard Daylight Time.

Although most of Florida is in the Eastern Time Zone like Boston, Western Florida is in the Central Time Zone so it's actually earlier in Western Florida.

About crocs and gators, Cliff is right, both can be found in the Everglades.

Crystalline is basically a crystal so if he saw it in the morning it was either freezing or salt crystals had formed.

Finally the hydrofoil prop is under water so it would be hard for Cliff to get his umbrella caught in it. What he was actually meaning was the airboat, which is the common mode of transportation for touring the Everglades.
