3:28

3:30
get some let me know they're like
3:31
they're like Gremlins if you get them
3:32
wet or snow falls on them they just
3:35
multiply and you might know some are
3:36
actually over there taking a a leap into
3:38
the uh the swimming hole wow there's a
3:41
bunch there one by one they go a
3:43
marching diving head
3:46
first down into the swimming hole I've
3:48
heard a compost but never a can post
3:53
this is where all the magic happens all
3:54
the behind the scenes the workshop all
3:57
the little pieces of articles of things
4:00
that you're going to take apart put
4:02
together and you have a fence line there
4:04
and why do you have the little fence
4:06
built up around this SE actually not
4:08
consider a fence it is the hi castle and
4:10
it is to block the view from the
4:12
neighbors cuz they seem have a problem
4:14
with my art supplies so the neighbors
4:15
can't see past
4:18
this just to keep a little little
4:20
secrecy they'll perform right here and
4:22
they use this as a backdrop and then
4:24
that's why you see mattresses right
4:26
there cuz we do have one angry neighbor
4:28
which is kind of like over there
4:30
so it's a v view so you have live bands
4:32
here about about three times a year and
4:34
they play here and the mattresses that
4:37
are there blocks the sound just a little
4:39
bit right yeah and then and keep the
4:41
neighbor from being use binocular keep
4:44
the neighbors from using the binoculars
4:46
binocular proof mattresses this is
4:48
original my grandparents original
4:50
chicken coop it actually is their
4:51
original chicken coop now as always say
4:53
I'm not sure how much the wood is
4:54
original but it is original chicken coop
4:56
so before you lived here your
4:57
grandparents owned the property own the
4:59
property uh uh up until about the ' 80s
5:02
my grandfather he died in ' 64 so the uh
5:05
they called the twiist aspect of the
5:07
operation hes down in 64 but um but yes
5:10
they owned it and this was his original
5:12
chicken CP as always said I'm not sure
5:14
how much the wood's original but is
5:15
original chicken coop and now I've
5:17
turned in my snake place or Alo place so
5:19
you might notice we have the killer
5:22
milkshake oh the killer oh milkshake cuz
5:25
it's a milk jug and it's a shake not a
5:28
snake
5:30
but this brings you in kind of similar
5:31
to places along Route 66 in fact if you
5:36
look back at this it is taken from Two
5:39
Guns which has the Lions and the tiger
5:44
still placed there out in the desert
5:46
nice little homage that looks like a
5:48
space age moonshine still uh exactly
5:52
that's exactly what it is it is so I
5:53
guess right yes yes it is that's we one
5:56
as a kid cuz when I was growing up I was
5:57
kind of came from kind of the same
5:58
background you did my parents are very
6:00
conservative they weren't preacher but
6:01
they were very conservative and they
6:02
used to tell me listen much rock and
6:04
roll it would out my brain out turn me
6:05

baby Beast a baby beast but I forgot to
6:23
feed it so he's MiFi on me now but as

9:50
church of Holy

10:05
light that's a light what is this
10:08
massive amount of rickety unstable tires
10:12
with a chair up on it what is that it's
10:14
a fully functioning hily deer stand and
10:17
it's so great we you out a heater
10:19
underneath your chair so your rump
10:20
doesn't go cold while you're waiting for
10:22
the deer to go by that that would take
10:24
some gumption to climb that it look sit
10:29
up there with a a rifle trying to get
10:32
trying to shoot a deer it's been done
10:34
before now see this tree looks pretty
10:37
normal but this
10:40
tree looks pretty
10:43
wacky keep an eye out for this guy he's
10:47
wanted and another little homage to
10:50
roadside attractions Rock City painted
10:52
right there on that Grill I didn't even
10:55
notice down on the ground is a pet there
10:58
you can
10:59
pet the pooch he got a little snow on
11:01
him though however whoa watch out Keith
11:04
there's sink holes there watch out for
11:06
those sink holes it's a close one no
11:09

11:12
but this you have a pot farm here I sure
11:17
do all right and a house have a
11:19
treatment to the undercover cop an
11:21
undercover cop
11:23
oh I'll keep this my secret I won't tell
11:26
a soul I got to say I like most of this
11:28
stuff except for this piece of art it
11:31
really sucks when it's a little warmer
11:34
water
11:35
is operational off through this
11:38
section however this appears to be
11:41
budding
11:47
nonetheless if you've heard of Cadillac
11:47
Ranch then this little section might not
11:50
need an introduction What's this called
11:53
the Leaning Tire of
11:55
Pisa Tire of Pisa yes and then you can
11:58
one why the pinkish stuff's there it's
12:00
supposed to be red and it would be your
12:02
tomato sauce so technically it's a
12:04
leaning tower of pizza the Leaning Tire
12:07
of pizza you can't beat a dead hose but
12:10
you can s a split
12:13
one oh a split
12:15
Horse let's see what you did
12:24
there is that how you let off
12:24
energy how long can you stay on that
12:27
thing what's what's the
12:30
record TimeWise probably 10 minutes 10
12:34
minutes still like
12:37
it whoa you're going too fast you can't
12:41
keep up one thing I always like is a
12:43
huge amount of
12:53
property terrifying the county was
12:53
trying to tell me there was an abandoned
12:55
mobile home so I had these clowns on it
12:59
so so it's no longer abandoned no now
13:01
it's a place with a scary clown hang out
13:03
there it's now a billboard yeah a
13:06
terrifying billboard take that County
13:08
it's almost one of the kind of ones you
13:10
see in front of a grocery store well
13:12
actually it's I think it was more for
13:13
the ones that were on the chains on both
13:15
sides where they spin around oh like in
13:17
a park a park yeah so you'd have the
13:19
chain kind of mounted here I guess or up
13:22
here here and then there would be seats
13:24
in here I told this was a mold remember
13:26
the days when we could fit in something
13:27
of that size
13:29
well I can still fit in okay it's kind
13:31
of
13:31
hard oh you've done this before yeah
13:44
yeah now wait for the next guest to show
13:44
up and then hop out and startle
13:47
them good to see a lot of vehicles have
13:49
showed up to the dry
13:51
then the king is born because it's Elvis
13:56
king of rock and roll in a Manger
14:05
seam just to show how cold it
14:05
is the IES
14:13
here I didn't even notice at first but
14:13
that ghost from Pacman along the side of
14:16
the house is made up of cassette tapes
14:19
VHS to be
14:22
exact Be
14:24
Kind Rewind he said check this out
14:30
what's in here oh my goodness I forgot
14:33
about this the Legion of toys they don't
14:38
call this place a toy
14:41
museum for nothing and this is just a
14:45
tip of the i
14:47
ooh Monkey Shines tip of the iceberg as
14:53
I turn the corner oh
14:56
my goodness
14:59
look at this holy cow and over
15:03
here there's stuff
15:06
everywhere a banjo playing doll a
15:10
Rambo lunchbox
15:13
Scooby-Doo
15:19
characters all kind of
15:19
stuff in here thousands and thousands of
15:23
dolls
15:24
toys
15:27
knickknacks
15:29
that the
15:30
osborns I think it
15:33
is could spend quite a bit of time in
15:36
here and still not
15:37
see
15:39
everything wow uh there's close to 3,500
15:42
in here uh this is only 20% of what
15:44
accumulated back in La the other 80% is
15:46
an abandoned mobile home next to us with
15:48
the scary clowns fan on it ET up there
15:50
making a quick getaway which is good
15:53
because Godzilla and King Kong is down
15:57
there and the new school
15:59
Godzilla in there as well tucked away
16:01
back there John Goodman and the baby
16:04
from
16:05
dinosaurs Five Nights at Freddy's I
16:08
believe that is don't
16:10
hassle the Hoff I'm wondering how do you
16:13
get to some of these areas how do you
16:15
get up there there's a secret passage
16:17
that goes literally under the table all
16:19
way around so you climb under here crawl
16:21
under here yeah there's a tunnel under
16:22
there it takes you all the way around
16:24
and as you can see I can't get any wider
16:25
than this tunnel so you just Slither
16:28
through this and climb all way through
16:29
there and then that takes you back
16:32
around this way so you'd be underneath
16:36
here and then you would somehow pop up
16:39
back in there yeah you'll notice that's
16:40
all a hollow Mountain where you can pop
16:42
and then you pop out of this yeah as you
16:45
can see I use everything for storage
16:47
so you're going in he's going in not
16:51
going to pop up right here oh there you
16:54
are and then I can work on any the
16:56
trains I need to up here on on a block I
16:59
can raise all my up of there out of
17:01
everything in here what's your favorite
17:02
toy if you had to take one with you what
17:05
would it be okay that is hard to say but
17:07
in my case I'm old so it would probably
17:09
be the Alamo playet up up there the
17:12
Alamo playet that has been signed by
17:14
Fest Parker and Buddy Epson the two main
17:16
actors in The David Kett Trilogy they
17:18
both signed that they both signed the 10
17:20
for me cuz you look at the 10 that is
17:22
awesome the the the chapel building
17:24
you'll see right underneath Mars attack
17:26
is where they signed it f Parker and
17:28
then put he up some sign down where the
17:29
wall goes into the chapel that's awesome
17:31
got Steve URL with his head on the
17:33
shoulder of Martin Short we got one of
17:36
the Duck Dynasty
17:38
characters ping up with Freddy Krueger I
17:40
really like all these old school metal
17:43
lunch boxes it's a Magic Kingdom one
17:46

17:47

17:53
them D them dang trolls yeah we even got
17:55
them here in
17:56
Toyland this is actually my uh Lego
17:59
truck from my childhood in the when you
18:01
were a kid yeah when I was a kid
18:02
probably in the mid 60s and the the
18:04
thing you were most excited about it
18:05
could do this it could just spin around
18:09
from the 196 now Legos can do pretty
18:11
much anything anything El but back then
18:13
this was amazing and then somehow I saw
18:15
my original box that is so cool look at
18:17
that that's a serious antique right
18:20
there the Lego delivery truck it's it's
18:22
used the it's rigged I don't know if
18:25
it's going to work right now now but
18:26

18:29
R so someone goes in to use the toilet
18:32
in Hillbilly Heaven and then you pull a
18:34
prank by dumping
18:36
water have your kids ever pulled a prank
18:38

18:58
it's supposed to be kind of like a fun
18:59
place I've taken a l bad that's happened
19:02
to me and tried to turn into a onsal
19:04
happening cuz this whole place is based
19:06
upon uh me wanting to build a toy land
19:09
the county want a subdivision to go in
19:10
here so then it kind of migrated so I'm
19:13
just trying to turn everything into
19:14
enjoyment so I want people to leave
19:16
happy uh remember their childhood get a
19:18
little history uh I kind of hate that a
19:21
lot of the younger folks do not seem to
19:23
care about the history so I don't know I
19:24
just want to make a love of History a
19:25
love of of the past uh just we're all
19:28
supposed to have a good time and enjoy
19:30
