TDW 1657 - He Wanted Me To Hold This !

0:04 what the heck am I witnessing right now

0:04 look at

0:06 that there's a million of

0:14 them

0:14 Hitchcock would be proud welcome

0:17 everyone Adam the woo here coming to you

0:20 from Texas there's someone outside my

0:23 window isn't there he's got an axe he's

0:27 got an axe it's my second channel daily

0:29 vlog it's the daily wo one thing this

0:33 state is known for is their oil

0:37 rigs Texas

0:40 T that's what the Beverly Hillbillies

0:43 taught me to call it now I'm asking cuz

0:44 I don't know is that where the oil

0:46 spouts out from and shoots straight

0:49 upward funing upward Towards the Sky

0:54 there must be some sort of turn switch

0:57 on

0:58 that right for minute I thought I was

1:00 hitting some major rush hour traffic

1:02 going into bont but now I'm realizing

1:06 it's just a wreck up

1:12 here now here's something you don't see

1:12 every day a Muffler Man with the face of

1:16 Mad Magazine's own Alfred E Newman don't

1:19 get me wrong I've seen plenty of Muffler

1:21 Men in my day it is a big part of

1:23 roadside Americana but none are as happy

1:27 as this gentleman he's wearing a sweet

1:29 hat

1:30 and it looks like he even has an earring

1:33 there it's hard to tell but I think I

1:36 think he has an earring what a cool dude

1:38 even Hurricane Rita when it hit the

1:40 coast of Texas could not take him down

1:43 he's indestructible be careful sir be

1:45 careful that guy is a little mad I need

1:49 to go that way but it doesn't look like

1:52 that train is moving at all it's just

1:54 sitting there

1:55 stationary it's been doing that for a

1:58 few minutes

2:06 Wonder maybe I should

2:06 find an alternate

2:09 route the solution is to go under the

2:13 train

2:15 tracks right next door to the fire

2:18 Museum of Texas sits one of the largest

2:22 working fire hydrants in existence after

2:25 doing a little bit of research I

2:27 discovered that it was created in

2:28 California and then moved here after the

2:31 re-release of 101 Dalmatians as The

2:34 Story Goes this thing used to sit on

2:37 Disneyland property which brings up a

2:40 couple interesting questions in my mind

2:43 when it was in Anaheim did it work could

2:46 you hook up a huge hose to it and why

2:49 did they move it here once it was moved

2:51 to its now permanent home the city came

2:53 out in droves and they opened up the

2:55 water valves shooting water into the air

2:58 a celebration of Majestic

3:14 proportions that is Thomas Edison and

3:14 right here at the Travis Street

3:16 substation they have a museum dedicated

3:19 to

3:27 him in theal pornograph and a little

3:27 piece of Po Mary had a little lamb

3:31 speaking quite a flow and everywhere

3:33 that Mary went the lamb was sure to

3:53 worked I assisted bying device that I

3:53 can speak to and it can speak to me it

3:56 is semi-transparent so I cannot touch it

4:01 I cannot see you there in the future but

4:03 I understand you can see me here in your

4:06 past we do not have access to the

4:08 science of the future but from what I'm

4:12 experiencing the future must be amazing

4:15 I must say I am jealous not to be there

4:17 in your time but I have much to do here

4:20 I had no idea I was going to travel

4:22 through time to talk to Mr Edison didn't

4:25 see that

4:26 coming I just got news that the artigon

4:29 mark marketplace where I did my Meetup

4:31 in Orlando and also where I got these

4:34 sweet glasses it's closing kind of a

4:36 bummer I really like that place they

4:38 just announced that in 2 weeks it will

4:41 be non-existent anymore such a cool idea

4:43 for a mall well they called it the

4:45 antimall a lot of cool shops in there

4:46 including some friends of mine who have

4:48 a button and vintage shop go stop by

4:52 before it's too late I've gotten a very

4:54 very late start today when it comes to

4:57 getting a coffee that is because I

4:59 wanted to wait until I found one of

5:04 these Texas's own shiply

5:13 Donuts from what I'm told the thing to

5:13 get here is something called a colachi

5:16 and this is a kach woo that's hot that's

5:26 hot and inside is a hot dog I bit into

5:51 bad welcome to Gator Country uh-oh look

5:51 at the size of that guy I know this

5:53 place is going to be good cuz the road

5:54 just getting in

5:56 here is a little bit bumpy an

5:59 interesting fact fact about this place

6:00 this is the home of the largest

6:03 alligator anywhere in the state to gain

6:05 entry you have to go through the Gator's

6:08 mouth and his

6:10 teeth is that blood I was just noticing

6:12 off on the distance there there's a

6:14 complaint bucket but you have to swim

6:17 past this guy to get there I don't have

6:20 any complaints something happened to

6:21 this guy's

6:23 eyeball look at it there what happened

6:26 to your eye buddy what's his name his

6:28 name's Spooner

6:30 seven years old do you just like hold

6:31 him all day long yeah he's used to being

6:34 held you're just like holding him like a

6:36 little baby

6:38 mhm oh my gosh I don't want to get any

6:40 closer aren't you terrified holding him

6:43 nope he's like he's like your friend mm

6:45 he's kind of giving me the evil eye

6:47 though he's like come on a little

6:49 closer oh my gosh it says free Gator

6:52 feed let's see what's inside

6:56 here oh my gosh it's a I thought that

6:58 was a real snake

7:00 I think I made a little bit too much

7:01 racket they're starting to come over my

7:04 way you just pick them up like they're

7:07 like it's no big deal there's a little

7:08 cat really and there's nothing on their

7:10 mouths to to keep them from biting you

7:11 nope so you just trust them you're very

7:13 trusting

7:16 guy oh my

7:22 gosh these are little babies how old do

7:22 you say these were only a few months

7:24 they're born back in September if you

7:27 get your like hand too close to the top

7:28 they so look at that

7:42 finger squirming he doesn't want to be

7:42 held no this sett down after about a

7:45 minute it's amazing they just don't turn

7:46 and like try to bite your bite your

7:47 thumb or your pinky finger or something

7:49 yeah at this age they're too young to

7:51 bite really they know if they bite you

7:53 it's not going to do anything I've been

7:54 nipped at by one of them in here and it

7:56 didn't even break the skin this is a

7:57 crocodile the way you can tell most

7:59 people can tell is because of the nose

8:01 right is there any other ways you can

8:02 tell it's a crocodile versus an

8:04 alligator well the big one is the nose

8:06 that's and also an alligator has more

8:08 teeth she only has 72 teeth while an

8:11 alligator is going to have about

8:12 80 oh yeah Little Tor this

8:21 guy what's

8:21 up he wants to come out going to close

8:24 the story he going to escape they just

8:26 keep keep hatching mhm just keep on

8:28 breeding just keep making more baby

8:30 Gators for us PR soon you're going to be

8:31 overrun by Gators yeah he disguises in

8:34 pretty well he's the same color as the

8:36 leaves mhm he actually it's a myth about

8:39 the whole color changing they actually

8:42 do it like as an emotional thing so you

8:44 kind of See's bright up a little bit

8:46 right now it means he's mad oh he's not

8:48 happy no he's not happy okay let me back

8:50 up he he doesn't like people and that is

8:53 a

8:54 tarantula now tarantulas are they

8:56 poisonous or venomous uh they do have

8:59 like all spiders have venom in them but

9:01 their venom is actually no more

9:02 important than the

9:03 beasting they actually pretty much kill

9:05 their prey by overpowering it so holding

9:08 him probably not the best idea you can

9:11 take him out no I'm good I'm just going

9:12 to I'll stay right here this is good

9:14 this is a good distance this is the

9:15 longest alligator in Texas over 13 ft

9:18 Big Al is a little bit shorter but

9:21 weighs a lot more this is Big

9:24 Tex let's see where he gets his name

9:26 right against the fence there is Big Al

9:28 over a thousand

9:30 lb just hanging

9:32 out just chilling these little Gators

9:35 are about 3 or 4 years old that is 81

9:38 years younger than Big Al cuz he's 84

9:42 right smack dab off the

9:44 Thorofare sits this but be careful

9:48 boater he's going into your M wait the

9:50 Boater's not in there he got the boater

9:53 he got the boater I always wondered what

9:55 these things eat clearly they have a

9:58 diet of pine con

10:06 oh I see him yeah he's down in there you

10:06 can see him under the silouette of the

10:07 murky

10:09 water they're stirring over

10:11 there they're stirring

10:15 about they're making their

10:17 move just hopefully not in my general

10:20 direction

10:32 there's even a special enclosure for

10:32 Nile

10:34 crocodiles crocodiles are known to be

10:37 slightly more aggressive than

10:40 alligators so it's a good thing this

10:42 chain link fence Separates Me from

10:45 them this one kind of looks like Jack

10:47 Nicholson and

10:49 Batman like the Joker I would get out of

10:52 here if I were you I would get out of

10:55 here if I were you there is a predator

10:59 lurking right there that was pretty cool

11:02 I've been to a few Gator places in my

11:04 time never been to one where they want

11:06 you to hold the reptiles when their

11:09 mouths are not closed with some sort of

11:13 harness that was slightly terrifying I

11:15 also did not know that each Gator

11:18 depending on its size has to go in an

11:20 appropriate area the guy was telling me

11:23 about Big Tex and Big Al if they put

11:26 other Gators in there with them they

11:28 kill them

11:38 terrifying well it's open and the sign

11:38 says stues could this be an actual

11:40 operating stues and it's time for

11:42 another fill

11:45 up does anyone still use these things in

11:48 reality it is very rare to find a stues

11:52 that is still open and this one has a

11:54 wall of souvenir they used to be known

11:57 for their world famous PE Deon logs I

12:00 haven't seen these in years I got myself

12:02 a white chocolate

12:04 Turtle good old

12:20 stues I still have not turned on the

12:20 fridge yet or the freezer or used the

12:23 stove I have used the microwave used a

12:25 toilet used the shower slept in the bed

12:28 every night and driven Large Marge a

12:31 long distance so far I think maybe

12:33 tomorrow possibly tomorrow or the next

12:36 day I might stay at an RV Resort just

12:40 for a couple days just to empty the

12:42 tanks juice everything up and then also

12:46 give me the opportunity to do some

12:48 laundry some RV places have laundry

12:51 facil so that's kind of what I'm

12:53 thinking over the next few days maybe

12:55 starting don't quote me on this but

12:57 maybe starting tomorrow when it comes to

13:00 the fridge I've just been traveling

13:02 non-stop stopping at a store getting a

13:04 beverage there's really no reason to run

13:07 the propane for this whole thing until I

13:10 find a place I want to be settled for a

13:11 day or two makes sense right one thing's

13:14 for certain though I definitely want to

13:15 slow down the pace that I have been

13:17 traveling at even if that means being

13:19 stationary in one town for more than 24

13:23 hours which lately seems like a crazy

13:26 idea I want to take in Texas that should

13:29 be a hashtag I want to get to the

13:32 nitty-gritty in the nooks and crannies

13:34 of this massive State and be around a

13:37 while and hit places I've never been to

13:40 and maybe you have never seen before

13:43 sound like a good

13:45 idea or maybe you don't give a either

13:49 way see you tomorrow

13:51 Vlog over
