it's incredible i can't believe it
3:28
all right let's keep let's move on
3:30
and this is something i never knew
3:32
there's a mural back here i've never
3:33
noticed this before
3:36
but the chili peppers
3:38
they played on top of this building
3:40
yeah i would i think it was either this
3:42
building or the next building what uh i
3:44
never knew that performing on top of it
3:46
yeah they did kind of like a beatles
3:47
thing almost where they went up on top
3:49
of the building they just did like
3:51
impromptu
3:52
yeah they just came in one day and
3:54
played and it was chaos there was
3:55
thousands of people in front of it
3:58
no kidding and that's the mural to kind
3:59
of designate it
4:00
whenever i think of la i think of the
4:02
chili peppers that's like they're in la
4:03
band 100 when i travel i hear the chili
4:06
peppers i always kind of have a little
4:07
nostalgia for l.a and then flea just a
4:10
fun fact it wasn't back to the future as
4:12
well oh yeah back to feature two that's
4:14
right he was needles
4:16
that's right
4:20
fun fact
4:20
now i'm remembering back in 2020 they
4:23
didn't want anyone out here so to deter
4:25
skaters from the skate park they filled
4:28
this all with sand
4:30
that's right did you get to witness the
4:31
sand first off i was here today and the
4:34
next day the kids actually brought some
4:35
shuffle
4:36
and they cleaned up the whole place
4:38
again and they so the skaters came out
4:41
here and removed this thing skaters came
4:42
out here
4:43
and they cleaned up so much that they
4:45
can actually skate in it you cannot stop
4:46
a skater from skating you can't that's
4:48
true good point
4:50
over in orange county there's a skate
4:51
park and they put up caution tape all
4:54
around it and boards and stuff and they
4:57
just jumped over the tape and the boards
4:58
and fun fact if i was to get on the
5:00
board and attempt this i would probably
5:02
break my leg you asked if i was going to
5:04
get on the board and try to
5:06
try to go across go in the little pool
5:08
area here that would be a good video but
5:10
i think that would be your last video
5:12
like i said in yours just now you're
5:14
also filming i'm filming so we're kind
5:16
of filming the same stuff you gotta
5:17
check out his channel german and venice
5:19
put the link obviously in the
5:20
description i appreciate it but i'm kind
5:22
of reiterating what i said in your video
5:24
it would get a lot of views if i broke
5:27
every bone in my body on a skateboard
5:29
back there but it might be my last video
5:31
so let's just we don't want to do that
5:33
we love your videos so keep doing what
5:35
you let's just say i did
5:37
but i'm not going to
5:44
they're working on it
5:48
yeah it's pretty nice but he
5:51
let me use this this really comes in
5:52

10:12
here
10:13
you were also before before i noticed
10:15
the clowns and interrupted you you were
10:16
talking about something that was filmed
10:19
right over there what were you what were
10:20
you talking about uh they had like
10:22
charlie's angels filmed right here on
10:24
the boardwalk charlie's angels as well
10:26
as
10:27
woody harrison came out right here at
10:29
the beginning of the scene
10:31
when those people were playing right
10:33
there were singing
10:35
white men can't jump and tenacious d did
10:37
their little beach scene around here too
10:38
somewhere do you know where that is
10:41
where they were singing when that was
10:43
right here they were sitting right here
10:44
with kyle gas was right there kyle
10:46
gaston and jabel's
10:49
i don't know that's what jack black
10:50
calls himself he calls herself jabels
10:53
i did not know that i was just informed
10:55
in a woody harrelson wesley snipes movie
10:57
when they're playing basketball
10:59
the basketball court was not where i
11:01
thought it was which was way down there
11:02
by past the skate park that is new since
11:05
the late 80s when the movie came out the
11:07
basketball court was right in here where
11:09
this parking lot is and looking back
11:11
across at where that mural was
11:13
they walked out of in xanadu there at
11:14
the cadillac
11:16
yeah right next to where the basketball
11:18
court was now this looks totally
11:20
different
11:21
right here
11:22
this building is new this number 201
11:25
the last time i was here there was a lot
11:27
of a lot of graffiti and paint here on
11:30
another building that has been cleaned
11:31
up
11:32
considerably but if you've ever seen the
11:34
movie falling down
11:36
one of my many favorites from the 80s
11:39
the house that defense goes to try to go
11:42
after his ex-wife
11:44
their home was over here now it looks
11:46
totally different
11:47
than it did but i believe the parking
11:49
not parking but the fire hydrant
11:52
is still kind of in the same area where
11:54
robert duvall punched
11:57
his police chief right here at the end
12:00
but the house was right over there it
12:01
does look totally different no i think
12:03
the house was right here this is oh it
12:04
was right here i think yeah okay it was
12:08
in this section this is all impromptu we
12:11
didn't plan any of this we're just kind
12:12
of like winging it that's right
12:15
but there's the
12:16
there's the one scene where her phone is
12:19
ringing and she's kind of running up
12:21
she has her daughter with her she's
12:23
running up trying to to get to the phone
12:26
not realizing who was calling and she
12:27
goes right into her house
12:29
it was right over here in this area
12:35
such a great movie now i just looked up
12:35
the scene and he doesn't
12:37
doesn't punch the police off the police
12:38
captain but when he's doing the police
12:40
captain's doing a news
12:43
interview he kind of just he kind of
12:45
interrupts it and kind of drops the
12:47
f-bomb tells him to f-off tell
12:52
can you say that on youtube i think you
12:54
could say
12:55
maybe let's not say it again let's not
12:57
chance it all right
12:59
but you said back in the day
13:01
before this house was destroyed you came
13:02
by here and saw it yeah and you said
13:04
that they when they were filming at the
13:06
the pier
13:07
you didn't know what they were filming
13:08
but you were there the day of that they
13:10
were doing it i was there today and i
13:11
didn't know that they were filming that
13:13
movie i didn't even know
13:15
what was going on but a lot of people
13:16
were there that's the scene where he's
13:18
like
13:19
so i'm the bad guy
13:21
i'm the bad guy
13:23
remember that that's right yeah
13:25
and he just wanted to go home he just
13:27
wanted to go home to his wife that's all
13:29
he wanted to do and this is how
13:31
la is sometimes you just want to mind
13:33
your own business and you get
13:35
interrupted by people around you this is
13:37
the way venice beach is now walking back
13:39
out
13:41
onto the main area
13:43
we're still going to head over to santa
13:45
monica
13:46
which is that way i've drawn a line in
13:48
the sand here
13:50
are you allowed to venture over into
13:52
santa monica because i am technically in
13:54
santa monica
13:55
are you about to be
13:56
german in santa monica in a minute i've
13:58
been in german and santa monica you're
14:00
right but uh right now i'm german and
14:02
venice you're german what if you're half
14:04
and half so you got the the line there
14:06
why not there you go half of you is
14:08
german and venice the other half is
14:11
german and santa monica so
14:13
santa monica is the way we're going
14:15
venice is that way
14:17
and the reason i know that well you told
14:19
me but
14:20
there's also
14:22
there also this documentation here
14:24
was it about a mile that direction to
14:26
get over to the pier yes about a mile
14:28
yep good thing we got these
14:30
let's get moving to santa monica out of
14:33
venice here in this little area there's
14:34
a ship upon the shore oh there's a vw
14:38
volkswagen bus pulling out of there
14:41
that's nice and this was being utilized
14:43
to rent surfboards
14:45
such as
14:46
surf lessons okay
14:52
very cool over off on the horizon there
14:52
we got the motorized boat going by but
14:54
also these sailboats
14:58
this is a pretty good way to work out
14:59
you're saying these are 30 an hour yep
15:02
to rip one of these mobilized bikes and
15:03
stare at the
15:05
start the sun glistening on the water in
15:07
the sailboat and when the sun goes down
15:09
tonight this is all gonna be packed
15:11
there's not one empty bicycle real okay
15:13
that makes sense
15:15
so we need to reserve one of these
15:17
bicycles for thirty dollars
15:23
or not no not really this is something
15:24
interesting this says old school
15:27
this bus here
15:29
and don't want to go into too much
15:30
detail
15:32
you were just saying
15:33
at night or on the weekends sometimes a
15:36
girl comes up and see that little piece
15:37
on top that put like i don't want to get
15:39
too descriptive of what's going on it's
15:40
a poll right there oh she's just having
15:43
she's having a good old time good old
15:45
time dancing and people sometimes might
15:47
throw a tip or two
15:49
right there
15:50
this is uh this would be quite the party
15:52
the party bus so they just insert
15:55
another pole up on top to extend the
15:57
pole up
15:58
to do some dancing on
16:01
i would lose my good thing i'm not
16:03
coordinated enough to do to do dancing
16:05
like that i would fall from the top of
16:07
this bus and plum it down
16:11
on the weekends you say well sometimes
16:13
just whenever there's a lot of people
16:20
i've never noticed this before it's like
16:20
a little alien pod dome on top almost
16:22
like futuristic
16:24
is this an oh it's an american flag
16:27
and that was something i never knew
16:28
before and as you would say
16:30
if you didn't know if you didn't know or
16:32
don't know if you don't know
16:34
now you know i like that catchphrase oh
16:37
you didn't make that up well that wasn't
16:39
really my catch phrase but i was saying
16:41
it but i didn't know that biggie was
16:42
doing it for years okay people were
16:44
telling me oh is that biggie you
16:45
referred to so there's a little asterisk
16:47
next to that that's right got quite a
16:49
bit of folks over here playing
16:51
volleyball
17:01
it's a real beehive of activity
17:01
it's definitely certainly a lot quicker
17:02
on these scooters than it is if we were
17:04
to walk this
17:06
we're already about halfway there
17:14
there's the pier with the solar powered
17:14
coaster and ferris wheel
17:16
did you know it was solar powered yes i
17:17
know it runs completely off solar power
17:19
yep
17:21
they don't really like you filming on
17:23
the roller coaster though i know
17:25
have you tried filming on it i've done
17:26
it already and they don't like you
17:27
filming on it no yeah it's frowned upon
17:30
and now a little closer to the pier
17:33
german in venice
17:34
yes i am i will watch a lot of your
17:36
youtube videos i appreciate it thank you
17:39
right here it says the original location
17:40
of muscle beach
17:43
you get noticed a lot out here santa
17:46
monica on venice some people recognize
17:48
german and venice
17:54
this is the original spot
17:54
and behind you are all the chessboard
17:56
the chess boards that people will play
17:58
out that's not a lot of people playing
18:01
chess right now
18:06
the birthplace of the physical fitness
18:06
boom of the 20th century
18:14
so this is where arnold would have been
18:14
right here back in the day too or was
18:16
that before arnold that was here i think
18:18
it was before arnold he probably came
18:20
three times you know but it was actually
18:22
before arnold anna always started in
18:24
venice on main street and then he went
18:25
to the one on the beach okay so arnold
18:27
was always in venice not santa monica
18:32
come on
18:37
a little bit of history here not film
18:37
history obviously but
18:38
a little
18:39
little food history this is the very
18:41
first the original hot dog on the stick
18:44
address 1633
18:47
close to the pier
18:49
have you had any have you had any hot
18:50
dogs from there ever i had them but i
18:52
like the lemonade actually the
18:53
lemonade's good lemonade is really good
18:55
we should get a lemonade
18:57
you want a lemonade i'm good i'll get
18:59
you a lemonade let's get the lemonade
19:02
i'm buying the lemonade
19:03
well we can eat right there if you want
19:05
oh you want to eat down here too yeah i
19:07
thought you wanted to eat something i
19:09
cannot i'm always hungry should we get a
19:11
lemonade here and then get food
19:12
somewhere else or should we just go get
19:13
food
19:14
let's do it whatever you want to do
19:16
let's get a lemonade
19:18
and then just kind of mosey around a
19:20
little bit and then get food after we
19:21
finish our lemonade
19:22
sounds good yeah it's not every day i
19:24
get to eat at the original hot dog on a
19:26
stick with german in venice i know you
19:28
always like to go to places and actually
19:30
check out their food i love that too
19:32
when you do your vlogs like that and you
19:34
say actually how nice it tastes how good
19:36
it tastes how bad it tastes
19:42
i referred to you incorrectly though
19:42
you're now a german in santa monica
19:45
that's right and maybe tomorrow be
19:47
german in hollywood that's what i like
19:49
it
19:55
okay we're doing we're doing a taste
19:55
test not a food review but a drink
19:57
review here cheers cheers adam thank you
19:59
very much for this beautiful drink hot
20:02
dog on a stick we didn't get a hot dog
20:04
but you've got a stick though it's a
20:05
straw
20:12
that's refreshing it is really good i
20:12
love it
20:19
a few times i come by even though the
20:19
big one is kind of expensive i think
20:21
it's a little pricey for lemonade like
20:23
this size should be a little cheaper but
20:26
one day you sit at home and watch adam
20:28

20:30

21:15
i'm gonna go over here to big dean's
21:17
ocean front cafe
21:20
world famous big dean's german and
21:22
venice recommended this
21:24
i got the lemonade he's getting lunch
21:27
a nice little meal
21:29
a couple sandwiches and fries
22:00
took the scooters down pch pacific coast
22:00
highway a little bit of a ways
22:02
very busy road
22:04
very noisy but right over here i did not
22:07
realize this
22:09
but
22:10
jfk went right into here at number 625
22:14
there's even some photos of him walking
22:16
in here
22:19
and you were saying the the owner of mgm
22:21
used to live here at one time the owner
22:23
of mgm and this is where
22:25
he bought marilyn monroe as well so
22:28
marilyn was here
22:30
jfk was here and the owner
22:33
oh part of the one of the guys from the
22:35
rat pack of this right and before that
22:38
metro goldwyn mayer
22:41
the guy from the studio owned this
22:44
and there's a photo of jfk getting out
22:46
of the limo right here
22:48
should probably try to find that photo
22:50
i didn't realize that you discovered
22:51
that all on your own
22:53
i saw it on the internet you know like
22:54
i'm trying to match up some pictures i
22:56
saw a picture and i remember i seen this
22:58
place on pch and i said i'm gonna check
23:01
it out you know and this is a pretty
23:02
good wave from the pier
23:04
pretty good ways the pier is way down
23:06
there
23:08
good thing we got these because if we
23:09
would have walked it it would have taken
23:11
a while probably about a mile yeah it's
23:13
probably about a mile yeah
23:14
i'm going to show the photo now jfk
23:18
right here all right there's the photo
23:19
got the kind of clips in the background
23:21
with the telephone poles
23:22
old telephone poles were
23:24
telephone poles obviously have changed
23:27
quite a bit since then but
23:28
there is the angle where he would have
23:30
walked out of the limo
23:32
and then to
23:34
625
23:36
and there he is walking into that
23:37
archway door
23:39
right there same archway door
23:48
i've learned more than one thing today i
23:48
never knew before thanks to you
24:04
there's a photo of polanski and sharon
24:04
tate
24:05
running along the sand and the beach
24:08
and notice this house
24:10
this home right there in the center of
24:11
the screen
24:24
yeah the house still looks the same
24:24
and this is just to clarify there's the
24:26
house there with the very similar
24:28
windows and everything and there's
24:29
polanski and sharon
24:31
right there along the sand
24:33
how cool is that
24:35
this is very difficult to film
24:38
with one hand up in the air
24:40
and then also
24:41
steer this
24:43
as well as
24:44
yeah i'm on i don't even want to
24:46
i don't even want to like point downward
24:48
and show
24:49
well i can kind of
24:51
so i'm kind of steering
24:53
yeah this is like
24:55
very difficult because i have i only
24:57
have one hand on this
24:58
so i'm steering it
25:00
and pressing forward with it heading
25:02
over towards the pier
25:07
okay i'm going to turn the camera off
25:07
and
25:08
try to steer this a little better now
25:10
here's a photo of robert redford from
25:11
the movie the sting and this was located
25:15
right around the
25:16
the side of where the carousel
25:18
well this carousel building the building
25:20
next to it you can see the
25:22
the building still looks the same with
25:24
that little awning and everything up
25:25
there in the corner yeah robert redford
25:27
stood right here now it was also said
25:29
that james dean
25:31
took a photograph right here in front of
25:33
the the horses on this carousel
25:40
couldn't find the photo though you said
25:40
you have a photo somewhere you didn't
25:41
bring it with you of him on my phone i
25:44
got over 4 000 pictures deleted so i
25:46
have to find it okay
25:47
but we're just we're gonna we're gonna
25:49
just say that james dean was right
25:51
inside here inside this fantastic
25:54
looking iconic historical structure
25:57
in front of the front of the carousel
26:00
all right i have to say it it's kind of
26:02
cliche i've said it a lot but i have to
26:04
say
26:05
hitchcock
26:06
would be
26:07
proud
26:09
back over in venice now you see the sun
26:11
is starting to set there
26:13
now back over to the
26:15
skate park i kind of startled me kind of
26:17
like started startled me back over to
26:19
the skate park
26:24
because he's like coming over to like a
26:24
collision course right over here and
26:27
here's yet another mural what's up man
26:29
yeah what's up
26:37
this is a residential quiet zone
26:37
once you get past the tennis courts
26:40
and venice you get over to this area
26:42
heading towards you see the venice beach
26:43
pier should we go down to the pier yep
26:45
it's not that far right it's not that
26:46
far no
26:51
but the sign right there is hard to make
26:51
it out from here but it says residential
26:53
quiet zone which means you can't be
26:55
blaring
26:56
any music or busking or anything like
26:58
that
27:00
i guess that's what that means not sure
27:01
if i have enough juice on the scooter
27:04
so it might not go all the way over to
27:06
that pier but that is
27:07
that's the venice beach pier not the
27:09
santa monica pier
27:10
but right here
27:13
this has a
27:14
little doors history
27:21
oh and now there's a bunch of bubbles
27:21
all these bubbles like going through
27:24
it's like
27:25
an array
27:26
of bubbles
27:28
going by let's go with the sunset
27:31
and this is inside this is the rehearsal
27:32
house this is where they rehearse light
27:35
by fire
27:37
and here you can see in the background
27:38
there's the santa mon uh venice pier and
27:40
there's the pier
27:42
so did they ever record in this house
27:45
or was it just a rehearsal space the
27:47
rehearsal space they said
27:53
but they rented it for i think a month
27:53
for 200 i think
27:55
and where's the jim morrison mural not
27:56
the one we saw with maryland but isn't
27:58
there another one
27:59
another right next on the wall where
28:01
arnold you know you didn't see it i
28:02

28:04
venezuela this is called the rehearsal
28:06
house this is where the doors
28:08
rehearse the song
28:10

28:12
on the internet where they're shooting
28:13
from the inside out
28:35
all right there is the other jim
28:35
morrison mural which is on the other
28:37
side
28:38
