welcome everyone Adam the woo here as
0:03
the recording of this Thursday March
0:06
14th 2024 I'm going to be heading over
0:09
to International Drive today where there
0:12
is an outlet mall I believe there is a
0:14
Disney Outlet that sell stuff from the
0:16
parks for a discounted rate check that
0:19
out but the main reason I'm heading over
0:21
there even though I we'll be doing some
0:23
other things on ID Drive is cuz I'm
0:25
going to purchase my first pair of
0:28
Crocs getting on board main reason cuz
0:32
I'm going to be hitting a lot of pools
0:33
later in the spring and the summer and
0:36
it's a lot easier I think to not have
0:38
socks I do wear flip-flops occasionally
0:41
but it'd be nice to have a more
0:43
surrounding shoe that you don't need to
0:45
have socks for that are comfortable to
0:47
walk on I'm going to see what all the
0:49
hype's
0:50
about buy my first pair of Crocs it
0:52
could be a game changer or I could wear
0:54
them once and never
0:56
again kind of like the Stanley I bought
1:00
I'm inviting you to join
1:01
me shall
1:04
you leaf blower in
1:07
action I need coffee anytime says
1:11
something says exclusive you know it's
1:12
going to be extra
1:14
great put a little got put a little
1:17
Irish cream in there since it's
1:18
approaching St Patty's Day got to get in
1:21
that St Patty's mood put a little Irish
1:23
creamer in the bottom no sugar cuz
1:24
there's already sugar in there there it
1:26
is I got some exclusive blend first that
1:29
it's Tippy day but it's happy pie day
1:31
you get a whole pizza here 314 but I'm
1:35
just going to go with the coffee yeah I
1:36
want to show this too so REI Creek has
1:39
not as of yet been dismantled REI Creek
1:43
still
1:51
exists so do CL all right since I'm over
1:51
on International Drive going to pop in
1:53
deser or dieser land I never know how to
1:55
pronounce
2:01
it used to be the a mall before that it
2:01
was the artigon mall and now it's
2:04
basically a housing area for a bunch of
2:08
not classic cars but a lot of exotic
2:10
cars and movie Cars Kevin's here also
2:14
I've been here but only to get to get
2:16
slim or popcorn bucket and use the
2:17
bathroom it's the only time I've ever
2:19
been here really yeah so I don't know
2:20
what's hidden in here have you ever worn
2:23
Crocs no would you ever wear Crocs yes
2:27
there's a correlation between the Shrek
2:29
ones but they sold out the Shrek ones
2:31
did like the ears and the nose and
2:33
everything so there's a correlation
2:35
between Stanley and Crocs right isn't
2:38
there some kind of a correlation the CEO
2:40
who made Crocs popular is the CEO of
2:43
Stanley okay that's why Crocs are so
2:45
popular but like Crocs are a big deal
2:47
because it's like it's an extension of
2:48
your personality so is it going to be a
2:51
style or a theme it's going to just be a
2:53
necessity cuz I want to wear them to
2:54
pools and things like that I don't cuz
2:56
you don't want to get out of a pool put
2:57
your socks on I mean I could wear flip
2:59
flops but all the cool kidss are wearing
3:02
Crocs so or it could just like I said it
3:05
could just sit in a a shelf somewhere
3:07
next to my Stanley wear it once all
3:10
right got the arcade kicking over here
3:13
got American Classics You Got The Blues
3:15
Brothers up there dancing there's also
3:17
some screen use Flintstones cars in here
3:21

3:23
Flintstones was filmed out at vzquez
3:25
rocks in California right there rck
3:28
moras Rosio Donald and others yeah take
3:31
a look at this thing so this right here
3:32
was transported out to the desert
3:35

3:37
couple of them right there as well
3:39
there's a little
3:40
table pretty
3:48
neat there's a little police vehicle
3:48

3:51
dinosaur of course playing Fred
3:53
Flintstone John
4:01
Goodman the FP mobile they called it I'm
4:01
reading that sign there flp
4:09

4:09
pencil right there driven by God John
4:13
Goodman in
4:19
1994 oh George bars constructed the
4:19
flintmobile very interesting also pred
4:23
the Bat
4:30
Mobile I think you first movie second
4:30
movie
4:31
car the second movie didn't have John
4:34
Goodman in the rest of the cast so there
4:37
assortment of different props so you
4:39
think this is actually out near Grand
4:41
Canyon where The Flintstones Village
4:44
used to be on that road leading to Grand
4:46
Canyon did they have this out
4:49
there I don't know when I was out there
4:52
the couple times they didn't have any
4:53
Flintstone stuff Vehicles left they
4:56
didn't have the big dinosaur though that
4:57
you could slide down his tail they
4:59
tucked away over here in the corner are
5:00
some robots kind of like nightmare fuel
5:02
these robots right here this one do even
5:04
have a head right there in the middle
5:07
there not sure what these were used in
5:09
or what those are from there's also this
5:11
piece of artwork made out of Pepsi and
5:13
Mountain Dew and Dr Pepper cans put some
5:16
flowers coming up from this big uh
5:18
flower display made of
5:21
aluminum back in the day you go in those
5:24
doors to the van skate park
5:28
shop around the back back here is where
5:31
the skate park
5:32
outdoor like pool and all that was this
5:36
used to be the parking lot when you park
5:37
at Vans over there there's like a lot of
5:39
construction going on they're building a
5:40
bunch of condos Town
5:44
Homes apartments things like
5:48
that yeah it was a happening place back
5:50
in the day it was always neat cuz you
5:53
could park around this back parking lot
5:54
over here and as you were walking in
5:56
there's always like you know skaters
5:58
skating in and out and
6:01
lot happening a lot of beehive of
6:03
activity out here now they use this for
6:06
storage for all the the movie Cars and
6:09
whatnot that inside there that is a
6:11
massive building whatever it
6:23
is and now
6:23
this isn't it
6:25
ironic don't you
6:27
think I think there was a song yeah
6:30
something I've always wondered is how
6:32
these places stay open and how it makes
6:35
this place makes a profit at all yeah
6:37
this has to be one of the great I would
6:39
definitely I could see myself driving
6:40
that thing around all right what's you
6:42
trying to T type something in there I
6:44
don't know where to go I don't think
6:45
it's not working I don't think it's
6:46
working you ever been in a Bass Pro
6:48
Shops before I have yeah Link at
6:51
Cabellas M well that's two different
6:53
things I think yeah so any like hunting
6:56
fishing all that stuff does not interest
6:58
me but whenever I walk in a Bass Pro I
7:01
immediately want to become someone who
7:03
does those things it used to be able to
7:05
walk from inside the old artigon mall or
7:08
Festival Bay through here but now you
7:11
got to go outside and then inside I
7:14
really want this to drive around town
7:16
here this kind of is like the Mr Toad
7:19
mobile there is one similar to this over
7:20
by the bike rental place behind the
7:22
celebration hotel
7:24
but now inside here used to be one of
7:26
those soda shops had every flavor of
7:28
soda in in the bottles and stuff and now
7:30
it's closed coming soon no more soda
7:34
it's going to be Astro fuel out of this
7:36
world treats and I'm glad they have the
7:40
uh stay on this side of the road because
7:42
there is little uh golf cart maybe I
7:44
should bring my golf cart in here and go
7:46
through here but there's like a road
7:47
with the right down the middle there so
7:49
people know where they're going all
7:50
right we made it about a half a mile
7:52
from where we just were over to the
7:53
outlet mall this is something I never
7:56
knew existed there is a whole new theme
7:58

8:05
fact there is a sculpture of the Lonely
8:08

11:33
I see they do have some Crocs over here
11:35
I think $25 for these Crocs but these
11:37
are the ones I don't want cuz they have
11:39
the little cushions on there I want to
11:40
use mine in water plus I don't know if I
11:43
I don't know if I want that that style
11:44
all right there's a bunch of these
11:45

11:46
anywhere from $59 to
11:49
$139 they're now like $40 and under for
11:52
all like this Pandora one here is only
11:54

shirt fell off and try to like hold it
12:08

12:11
$49.99 from last year's food and wine I
12:13
got to put this back on the hanger even
12:15
look there some action figures over here
12:17
from Raiders oh there's Marion right
12:19
there over and they got a Indie on his
12:20
little
12:26
motorcycle what is that thing ahsoka's
12:26
belt you can buy her belt there when the
12:28
when they do the overlay on Arch ores
12:29
that you can show up on the first day
12:30
wearing the belt or there might be a me
12:33
GRE that might be popping up
12:35
monal there goes wait how much is that
12:40
$9.99 I think I'm going to get that I
12:42
think it was originally like 30 bucks
12:44
right I think it was like 30 I was going
12:46
to get this last year and I didn't now
12:48
it's only 10 bucks also I really like
12:50
these pinets over here that are in like
12:51
little frames all right
12:53
$164 wor the tax there is no AP discount
12:57
the cast member pretty much said you're
12:59
already getting a discount so no more
13:01
discounts all right I can almost feel it
13:03
I feel like the Croc store is going to
13:05
be around this corner right here and
13:08
there it is right over there the only
13:10
reason I'm saying that is we pass it on
13:11
the way over to the character Warehouse
13:13
so I knew it was going to be over here
13:15
but I also have a six sense of these
13:16
things too that there's going to be
13:17
there's going to be a Croc store right
13:20
here historic moment I get my first pair
13:22
of Crocs it's located at 3B do2 all
13:26
right after kind of perusing the sales
13:28
floor I had no idea a that there was
13:29
this many different St not only you know
13:32
color scheme theming scheme IPS and
13:36
different versions of Croc I didn't
13:37
realize there's different styles even
13:39
like you know just totally different
13:41
version was like some high heeled ones
13:42
and things like that I ended up going so
13:46
I noticed the first thing when I put
13:47
tried them on that
13:49
the definitely not as cushiony and
13:52
comfortable as the tennis shoes I
13:54
normally wear but I ended up finding a
13:56
pair ended up being a total of $79 with
13:59
the tax but I got five jibbit I realized
14:02
they were called jibbit I was going to
14:03
get three jibbit but then they said hey
14:06
if you buy four jibbit you get the fifth
14:07
one free so I got five jibbit to go with
14:11
my Crocs and I have them right here I
14:13
now have a Croc bag right here so I got
14:17
a
14:18
monreal uh I guess what we call like a
14:20
monreal purse or something I'm going put
14:21
on a shelf that was from
14:24
2023 and it's on sale for $9 so it which
14:27
tax it was like you know a little bit
14:28
over 10 and then I got my Crocs and my
14:31
jibbit so I kind of went with the basic
14:33
blues you want to see the jibbit I got
14:35
let's see them open up they're they're
14:37
uniquely mine they're uniquely mine and
14:41
I was only going to get three I went
14:43
with all so I went with a little Dole
14:46
Whip headed Tiki guy which I think is
14:49
kind of my style I've been on a stitch
14:52
kick lately ever since I went to Hawaii
14:54
so I got that I got want they didn't
14:55
have a Tampa Bay raay which surprised me
14:57
they had a lot of sports teams but of
14:58
course no love for the Rays even though
15:00
they're the closest baseball team to
15:02
here and I got to support my boy Mickey
15:05
right there so that's four and then I
15:08
got a real beehive of activity of new
15:11
items today so I got a little a little
15:13
be there you
15:15
go and I don't think I'm going to get on
15:17
the Croc train I'm just buying these so
15:20
when I go to the pools I do have
15:22
flip-flops but I feel like with these
15:25
and water rides I could wear these like
15:29
you can wear these on Tiana's when
15:30
Tiana's reopens yeah and get drenched
15:34
and still walk around the park in these
15:35
if you don't wear socks but you want to
15:36
be waiting in line for like 4 hours when
15:38
it opens wearing those though absolutely
15:41
not since we were in the neighborhood
15:43
just like I don't know less than a half
15:45
a mile or a mile from the outet mall we
15:47
were just at here at Vault 5421 which is
15:52
hidden back in here is a little secret
15:55
horrifying bar inside gods and monst
15:58
comics toys gaming and bar right next to
16:02
thunderburger and I asked Kevin he's
16:04
ever been in here he never has so we're
16:07
going to we're going to head inside here
16:09
and check it out yeah I love hidden
16:13
Sushi is it really hidden though if it's
16:15
in the
16:28
Sushi oh look at this they' got thought
16:28
I haven't been in here here in years got
16:30
this whole little area kind of staned
16:32
off there's the hidden Sushi over there
16:34
next to Iron Lion
16:37
insurance it's closed right now you have
16:40
to have like a secret password so that
16:41
says open Glue oh wait that says closed
16:52
126 you think it's like a secret secret
16:52
code you can knock on it like Roger
16:56
Rabbit maybe when we hit the code this
16:59
open and light
17:01
up I haven't been in here in
17:14
years
17:14
solo
17:21
ja
17:21
Vader got a lot of Star Wars stuff in
17:24
there that's called Vault 4
17:27
5421
17:29
no three in there it's a theme bar
17:31
inside all right now when you first walk
17:33
in you're going to be very overtaken by
17:35
the amount of Collectibles pop culture
17:38
paraphernalia a lot of very rare toys
17:41
and things like that but you just don't
17:43
want to get too distracted by what's
17:45
actually in the comic book shop because
17:47
when you go back into the Vault
17:49
bar yeah this is like this would be a
17:51
great place to have a
17:53
party theming on point you got the Mad
17:55
Max poster you got the shake with Merlin
17:59
over here you walk through this door and
18:01
when the bar is officially open it's
18:03
only it's 21 and up and they will have a
18:06
bartender on staff a little bit later
18:08
but at this time of the day I think
18:09
they're open at
18:12
5: doesn't it feel like you're walking
18:14
into like an like a like a haunted maze
18:17
through here it's like a
18:24
post-apocalyptic like man cave there you
18:24
go
18:25
postapocalyptic man cave
18:29
it's a good description is it HED Mickey
18:31
though sure is it's actually
18:54
there this is pretty dang
18:54
cool like that Buffalo to talk like
18:56
country bears have they added more over
18:58
the years
18:59
kind about the same I think the setup of
19:01
the tables is a little bit
19:04
different I look like the tentacle com
19:06
to the
