welcome everyone Adam the whoo here now
0:03
don't be afraid do not be scared we're
0:06
heading down into the nether regions
0:09
crawling underneath the freeway and on
0:15
the office this this is just for
0:16
dramatic effect there's no real reason
0:18
for this but on the opposite side after
0:20
I engulfed back into the light we will
0:24
be on the back side not the Hollywood
0:26
side the Burbank side of Griffith Park
0:28
and I'm going to pay a visit today to
0:31
what has become a yearly tradition I wit
0:34
in 2015 2016 and now for my first time
0:39
of 2017 I'll see you over there it's my
0:43
second channel daily vlog Channel it's
0:45
scary under here the daily Walt Disney's
0:52
barn free admission and free parking
1:01
sticky and I like to leave a couple
1:01
bucks to help out help out the cause
1:03
that I really do love this place
1:07
it's amazing how fast time just goes by
1:10
it's hard to believe it's been like 12
1:13
months since I paid my last visit even
1:17
though this does say train crew only
1:19
Caleb here is going to give us the Grand
1:22
Tour
1:23
and let us on board so Jelena as the
1:26
conductor would say people will be
1:35
sitting back here basically this is what
1:37
what is this call to combine car right
1:39
for combinations are a combination cause
1:41
a freight car and it's a passenger car
1:44
this would be where all the baggage
1:45
would be so won't this need had memories
1:49
being in here as child and you want this
1:52
right here this was the sound system all
1:55
the sound system would be in here these
1:57
dynamic eggs are officer original this
2:03
piece of wood here all right is this
2:04
from imported train so it's very Park
2:06
now I don't remember what train was but
2:10
if you look back here there's a five on
2:12
it maybe someone could find an old
2:13
picture where it shows a five just
2:17
aboard on this song the Train it done
2:18
yeah I heard that Walt used to actually
2:19
go to Knotts there was apartments
2:21
horrible disease in park yes I never
2:23
knew that that's interesting they
2:24
exactly put that down so you about to
2:27
break the internet with that fact this
2:29
is a section I have never even knew
2:32
existed here the miniature train that
2:35
just runs around the perimeter around
2:37
the outside of where the barn is
2:40
normally this area is blocked off but
2:42
today they have it accessible to anyone
2:44
who wants to walk back here and see them
2:47
operating this is very reminiscent of
2:49
the train station that you see at
2:52
Disneyland right over near where you get
2:54
the mint juleps looks eerily familiar I
2:58
always like the Ollie Johnston Depot
3:00
it's not a full-size it's not a
3:02
miniature but it's slightly smaller than
3:05
one you would see in real life and there
3:08
is a burning candle down there which is
3:12
also very similar to Walt's apartment
3:14
above the fire station at Disneyland
3:17
which is always on
3:19
remembrance of the two do you get notice
3:21
more recognize more for Andy here at the
3:24
30 get recognized more for Tinkerbell
3:26
take your belt off
3:43
anytime you see Tinkerbell the
3:43
mannerisms you created all that it's and
3:47
the reason being is you know
3:53
and the early could have done I worked
3:55
with her when she was fabulous terrific
3:57
Marilyn Monroe
4:12
with a sugar
4:12
I had the curves at what Richard and
4:14
show don't I pick up two best
4:18
butchers
4:24
Alicia would it be convenient
4:24
a change
4:43
and then the other one that was June
4:43
Foray who's a dear friend of mine just
4:45
to rocky and buoy incredible
5:55
on the Internet it's good to have
5:55
inspiration from Tinkerbell inside they
5:59
have a model of nature's Wonderland
6:03
check this out how
6:06
awesome
6:11
this is incredible
6:13
this was not here last time I showed up
6:17
these rocks here in the middle might
6:18
look familiar to you because after this
6:20
attraction went away they use those for
6:23
the area where they used to have the
6:25
goats the little petting zoo area of
6:27
course all that's been replaced now in
6:29
hopes and preparation for Star Wars land
6:31
I am now boarding a bus I have randomly
6:35
been invited on a continuation of a tour
6:40
you will came to the spot near a big
6:43
rock and he tripped the otter on acai
6:45
that caused the sheep to jump sheep
6:48
jumped and so did they mule when he got
6:52
jumped after listening to the voice of
6:54
Bob Kerr Bell who is narrating the trip
6:58
we're just following along we're along
7:00
for the ride and rosco Soul Train is
7:02
here as well so one fact he's in and
7:05
helping me film a little bit tonight
7:22
oh boy 65 why does it have lettering
7:22
what does it say what to say no what's
7:26
it say okay there's a note I'm gonna
7:32
look right there yeah this is a runway
7:37
this used to be the runway of Grand
7:40
Central Terminal how many people have
7:42
been out to LAX did you know this was
7:45
LAX in 1930 really
7:48
this was the airport servicing Southern
7:51
California first scheduled flight in
7:54
America Glendale to New York City with
7:59
another one starting in New York City
8:00
coming this way and they would cross in
8:02
the middle of country Captain Charles
8:05
Bloomberg the airline industry here I
8:13
lived two streets over and behind this
8:15
building and by the time I was eight or
8:17
nine years old my mother knew that I was
8:20
hopeless about curiosity looking
8:23
everything we had railroad steam trains
8:25
I'd run out look at the steam trains in
8:27
the afternoon it's going by I'd come
8:29
over the air but all by myself
8:31
I just wanna cross the street go over
8:32
here and ships usual Roberts gonna run
8:35
off someplace
8:35
this was filled with airplanes airplanes
8:38
would come and go on people and fancy
8:40
cars would show up in front of that
8:41
building and I was just like oh man
8:44
isn't this the most exciting thing going
8:46
on and then by 1980 finished up with
8:50
that feeling I am they moved me down
8:53
here to that last corner building that
8:56
window that's my office for one year and
9:00
then the end of that year they fired me
9:02
but this building I hung around as a
9:05
little kid I even saw wrong-way Corrigan
9:08
coming goal wrong boy I saw Howard
9:10
Hughes even one of our buildings further
9:13
down or we did our prototype and
9:15
production planning in the manufacturing
9:17
for like waited for the people mover
9:19
cars every kind of thing was in the same
9:21
error where Howard Hughes build is h1
9:23
land speed record airplane which is now
9:26
in the Smithsonian lived over here
9:28
my mother would give me a ride on the
9:30
mare
9:30
around 1:00 Waltman bring his daughters
9:32
to marry guru so I'm not just I'm
9:37
telling two stories everybody yeah Oh an
9:45
American on the same way agree that's
9:47
just great co-op which particle was a
9:54
real cigarette go off but I had this
9:56
little double hello cough like thing
9:58
which was like an early warning like ten
10:02
seconds before he walked through your
10:05
door he'd be in the hallway and you'd
10:07
get this little figure out and it was
10:10
like oh my god clean that clean up your
10:12
act here comes a Walt he's coming in at
10:13
any second now
10:14
and he just walk in sometimes he
10:16
wouldn't say then sometimes they vote it
10:18
is a big conversation but usually it was
10:21
a case he's going to see what you're
10:23
doing and your ideas were always
10:27
changing and improving his ideas were
10:29
improving and changing and this is the
10:31
essence of how Walt Disney got so much
10:34
done so fast you're constantly thinking
10:37
about everything's bus has
10:40
a bathroom right to find an animal in a
10:51
natural world who can create not just a
10:54
big mess of stuff but create something
10:56
that actually has an artistic component
10:59
such as composition of object selection
11:02
of objects I caught a picture I'm one
11:05
day was selecting flowers in my backyard
11:08
he was trimming the stems a certain way
11:10
and then taken away and do some of his
11:13
artwork there's a little story about her
11:15
I researched these they took all the
11:18
wood rat this is called the larger wood
11:21
rat indigenous to Southern California
11:22
wood on my garage floor he would go get
11:25
articles that are natural articles out
11:28
of the yard and he would make
11:30
compositions strangest thing this is not
11:34
Helders skelter this is positioning
11:37
things remember now he's doing this edge
11:39
on but we're looking at it this way so
11:42
people suggest why don't you photograph
11:44
that and I said a whole bunch of
11:46
photographs of his best work in the
11:48
night to kind of photoshop but put a
11:49
little fremont it's a simple composition
11:51
he's got a main stem theme than going
11:55
through here but next to it in this
11:57
curve he found the piece that's got that
12:00
curve and he cuts them and he trims the
12:02
edges and he signs it with this little
12:05
piece of wheat or whatever it is that's
12:07
his hallmark I mean that is not random
12:09
stuff I mean he has to think about this
12:11
I've also found that if I interrupt his
12:14
pattern I think he gets very upset he
12:16
goes next door he gets dried dog poop
12:19
and then he puts it on my floor if he
12:22
gets really mad he'll put it on the step
12:24
into my house and then he won't do
12:26
anything for two or three days and I've
12:28
so I experimented many many times with
12:32
if I interrupt him and proved with that
12:35
animal has emotion soon
12:37
so it's almost like artists are like
12:40
that you can actually upset them in
12:42
subtle ways
12:43
or sometimes I'd give him three little
12:45
kernels of a peanut then I wouldn't then
12:48
he get mad and I go back to the dog poop
12:50
I want to be known I want to make I want
12:52
to be a friend but if I'm visible
12:55
I'm extremely vulnerable so for a few
12:58
seconds at a time he would show up in my
12:59
back patio I just started quiver and
13:02
look at me one day with a friend sitting
13:05
there he got closer and he ran over and
13:08
he snipped my shoe and ran away as fast
13:10
as he could go and I was here and
13:12
running along the shelves if I go east
13:14
he goes east if I go back he goes the
13:16
other way like following me let me know
13:18
he's there how people would look at the
13:20
artwork I had Tony Anselmo you know is
13:22
Donald Duck and he says Bob he's
13:24
following mr. Graham's articles of
13:27
composition he would show me about
13:29
articles of three things like that and I
13:31
said yeah that's what he's it's natural
13:34
it's not I'm not helping he's not making
13:36
it he'd been doing all that stuff
13:38
himself had a fascinating thing I've
13:40
studied it on the Internet everything I
13:42
could learn about there's a lot of lot
13:43
we don't know about animals but to find
13:45
out number one he's creative number two
13:48
he has emotional responses I mean think
13:53
of that animals that actually have
13:56
emotions is incredible and he's a rat
13:58
and he's a remember Walt Disney had a
14:00
mouse more than 100 was an inspiration
14:03
you know the thing he had a little
14:04
pictures on the desk and stuff but
14:06
Walt's Mouse never did a thing physical
14:10
porn I have read that does physical work
14:14
that I work with him I mean this is so
14:17
absurd there's that difference between
14:19
Walt's Mouse and Bob's rat
14:22
interesting WWWE pen Disney products.com
14:26
honor to be riding in the ger mobile for
14:31
all the transportation stuff that you've
14:32
created that now and
14:33
I'm in the passenger seat Motorhome
14:36
Class C Motorola oh really I love to go
14:39
upper right I have a classy also really
14:41
what kind Ford chassis miss called the
14:43
majestic series ok the Toyota 24:40 that
14:46
is that configuration is exactly have
14:49
just enough kitchen counter just enough
14:52
sink bed in the right rear corner
14:55
usually and then the dinette makes the
14:57
most practical where's your favorite
14:59
place to drive and campout sometimes
15:04
I'll do short trips like Lake Perris you
15:06
know because I can bike out there
15:07
sometimes go out to the beach just got
15:10
back from a trip from Burning Man up
15:12
there you went to Burning Man
15:14
as far as birdie man goes is it easy to
15:17
find a spot to park I thought about
15:18
going out there myself you don't dare go
15:21
unless you research and knowing what
15:23
you're getting in it's hard to describe
15:24
it's that's so much trouble and it's so
15:27
full of dust and bad weather but you
15:30
have to think like a burner and if you
15:32
understand that then it's ok think like
15:34
a burner what does that mean we're at
15:36
that you're a burner you won't bring
15:37
your burner I mean this is it's a cult
15:41
you can't explain but everybody knows
15:43
what I did type in Burning Man and type
15:45
in Bob Kirk
15:47
and that's my 2010 Burning Man we'll get
15:51
to see we'll get to see the other side
15:52
of Bob ger the burner the burner side
15:56
the stuff that the stuff that was
15:58
published on the Internet
16:00
the first characteristic of a wood rat
16:03
is kleptomania I will test them that if
16:07
I have my materials set where I normally
16:09
keep the ink and steel but if he stole
16:12
it and made something and I take it and
16:14
rearranged it and said in another place
16:16
where his convinced he will not touch
16:17
them switch vehicles once again and now
16:20
I'm back in this Soul Train mobile
