Randy goes solo to settle the locals vs. tourists debate—starting with the question of what actually makes someone a local on the Outer Banks (spoiler: even 30 years here doesn't necessarily qualify). From restaurant perks and pool hopping to bypass lane rules, grocery store chaos, beach safety, and why middle-aged men shouldn't challenge the Atlantic after eight White Claws, this hilarious episode is packed with insider Outer Banks vacation tips, local stories, and plenty of laughs. You're at the beach... act like it.

John Head has called Hatteras home for over 25 years. As Director of Sales at Resort Realty, he's built a career on knowing this community inside and out — but ask anyone who knows him and they'll tell you that's only part of the story. In this episode, John talks about what it means to truly be part of the Outer Banks and how that shapes the way he works with clients one on one. We also dig into his involvement with OBX Room in the Inn, a Dare County nonprofit dedicated year-round to serving people experiencing homelessness. Right now they're able to provide transitional housing from November through April — and John opens up about what it will take to expand that mission, including an urgent push to secure land of their own. If you care about the people behind the beaches, this conversation is for you.
