welcome everyone out of Mizzou whoo here
0:02
on the other side of this wall just a
0:04
few short weeks ago was an entire
0:05
building now there is relatively nothing
0:08
and they are destroying it
0:28
second channel like a monster these are
0:28
some of the original seats and signage
0:33
at the very famous Los Angeles Dodger
0:39
Stadium I was standing at the club level
0:44
overlooking the field look at this
0:53
pretty freakin cool
0:53
here's a slightly closer view to home
0:57
plate you can see now that the game is
1:00
not happening they are doing some
1:02
maintenance it is pretty cool to be in
1:05
here with relatively no one else it's a
1:10
pretty neat experience not completely
1:13
alone but only maybe a dozen or so other
1:17
people on property at this time you must
1:19
always watch for foul balls and I always
1:22
think about sitting right here behind
1:23
the dugout when they ricochet off of
1:27
this concrete embankment and of course
1:30
all the players tucked away down here
1:34
this is where all the magic happens
1:37
behind the scenes
1:44
I've only been to one game here i sat
1:44
out in the outfield they have an
1:46
all-you-can-eat special where you get
1:48
hot dogs and popcorn and soda I think
1:51
it's like $40 or something not the best
1:53
seats but pretty fun out there and if
1:57
you exit out the stadium and make your
1:59
way into the parking lot there is a
2:01
gargantuan foam finger you think it's
2:06
really made out of foam let's test it
2:09
out let's test the theory is it foam
2:15
nope
2:16
it's made out of tin if you ever make it
2:18
up to the very top of this location look
2:22
for road number 12 and then turn
2:26
slightly and walk towards the second
2:30
pullover which is row 10 and look for
2:33
these red electrical boxes in The Naked
2:36
Gun where Leslie Nielsen is talking to
2:37
OJ Simpson's character that's the
2:40
electrical box right there all the cast
2:43
is standing in this exact spot then he
2:47
Pat's him on the back and down he goes
2:51
right
2:54
down there careening off the top level
2:57
look at him fly there obviously that's
3:00
not the actor that's just a dummy but
3:02
the illusion is presented and the
3:05
interesting thing is if you look closely
3:07
you can still see the same metal
3:10
protective area right here but obviously
3:15
it didn't help too much because off he
3:17
went
3:18
and it probably left a mark not only on
3:22
him but the people he would have landed
3:24
on directly
3:26
bula old Nordberg never could catch a
3:30
break it was funny however as he just
3:32
kind of bounced jaggedly
3:34
down down this and then boom into the
3:38
air here's a pretty cool shot 1100 West
3:42
vin scully Avenue in downtown in the
3:46
background made my way down the hill now
3:48
I'm gonna get some dinner at Philippe's
3:51
some say this is the birthplace of the
3:55
French Dip sandwich and I am hungry and
3:58
this is what we're dealing with special
4:01
sauce here in this cylinder washing it
4:04
down with a coca-cola a side of potato
4:08
salad a dill pickle and take a look at
4:12
that
4:13
glorious singlet and of course can't
4:18
forget the dip itself
4:23
I'm not sure if they say they're the
4:25
best they say they're the first
4:28
fact I'm not the connoisseur of this but
4:30
I'm gonna give it my best
4:31
I've got to taste test
4:43
lots of baseball memorabilia inside here
4:47
as well
4:48
some old bobbleheads in this case and
4:51
photos if you decide to wear an apron
4:54
why not wear one with the logo on it you
4:57
can get here at the little gift shop as
4:59
well as t-shirts hats and some candy a
5:03
plethora of candy look how cute that
5:06
little guy is who couldn't love that guy
5:09
noticing the signage on these payphones
5:12
this is good to document because over
5:16
time they might not exist anymore check
5:18
it out it says removal pending
5:28
goodbye telephone this picture is of the
5:31
original owners mr. and mrs. Philippe
5:35
Matthew first operators of the famous
5:38
restaurant I also just notice on the
5:40
floor they have sawdust just to give the
5:44
the ambiance I'm sort of certain
5:47
ambiance the floor is completely filled
5:49
with sawdust and check this out right
5:53
outside the restaurant way back in the
5:56
day a train careened off the side of the
6:00
tracks and the bunker there's a big
6:02
Rubik's Cube right there in that
6:04
courtyard back on the corner of
6:06
Hollywood and Vine now and it appears as
6:09
if the haunted house is coming down any
6:14
wise the clown has finished his tenure
6:18
here on this street corner and the it
6:21
experience at least for Los Angeles has
6:27
come to an end the destruction cranes
6:30
are rearing their head and this will be
6:34
nothing more than an empty lot sooner
6:36
then later a couple random stars here
6:39
Wally Cox along the Boulevard and next
6:43
to him Michael York is embedded also in
6:48
the ground followed by Frankie Lane
7:00
and next is an unnamed star and some
7:00
things you'll see pretty often are
7:02
people will come out here with a sharpie
7:03
and they'll write their own name it's
7:05
kind of like give yourself your own
7:08
highlighted star on the Walk of Fame
7:11
next to Dorothy Gish I like this little
7:14
park on the corner of Ivar and Sal Mar
7:17
it's pretty interesting
7:19
looks like cactuses or trees and you can
7:24
sit at these and enjoy either a little
7:28
snack or a coffee share some time with
7:31
friends just don't get too close to the
7:34
cacti because you will you will get
7:38
pricked even though I think you know I
7:41
don't think these are real no they're
7:43
not real it's just made out of well you
7:44
could get a you could get a splinter
7:46
sure you could you could get a splinter
7:48
certain shirts that I wear will get more
7:50
comments than others like today for
7:52
example I'm wearing the one and only
7:54
Thom Adkins on the front of my torso
7:57
forgot to even had this shirt and I
7:59
found it tucked away in the closet
8:01
everyone that has come up and said what
8:03
the heck is that on the front of your
8:05
shirt
8:05
they all just assumed that it's the
8:07
creator of the Adkins diet so I just go
8:10
with it
8:10
I'll see you guys tomorrow vlog
