welcome everyone Adam the whoo here
0:08
coming to you once again from Central
0:10
Florida International Drive to be exact
0:12
Ripley's Believe It or Not and I'm
0:17
joined with Kyle today my name is Kyle
0:20
and I am here with the Adam it's pretty
0:23
snazzy the atom the atom be out of the
0:25
will and we got some fun to do and I'm
0:27
excited let's do it here we go join me
0:29
shall you even before entering the
0:31
structure are some oddities the sign
0:35
states that this is the International
0:37
drive sinkhole man-made I believe I
0:41
don't think that's I don't think nature
0:43
created that but I could be wrong at
0:45
first glance I thought this was a normal
0:47
clock but paying closer attention the
0:50
numbers are completely backwards time
0:53
time is going in Reverse wonder if that
0:57
stays true as we enter indoors and in
1:00
case you're wondering the President of
1:02
the United States gives Ripley's to
1:05
thumbs ups oh it's like a it's like a
1:07
heat a heat lamp dance that like takes
1:10
your body just like visualizes you in
1:13
like a weird heat form there you go
1:16
right there
1:16
dance it up women this is a Haitian
1:26
voodoo drummer acquired in the 1930s
1:29
it's believed that the gods understand
1:32
the language of drums more than they do
1:35
language and human voice I'm noticing
1:38
after looking closely in this display
1:40
case there is a picture of a large cow
1:43
by the name of Big Ben that cow is
1:46
stuffed and located in my sister's
1:48
hometown
1:50
Kokomo Indiana how bizarre is that
1:52
something from Indiana here in Orlando
1:54
in a display case there he is right
1:57
there there's a child hanging from his
1:59
nostril don't break you don't want to
2:01
break that stuff this stack of books
2:04
looks to be very dangerous as if it
2:06
could topple over but after you push on
2:09
it it's all connected it's not going
2:12
anywhere and each one of these additions
2:13
is a Ripley's book that's Believe It or
2:18
Not series number 15 good friend you
2:33
will have more fun all right help me out
2:36
of this box we'll go with you if you
2:39
want out of the box I don't have to
2:41
change
2:42
you're a strong believer in fate
2:43
fortunately you are destined to be very
2:46
happy I'm a unicorn the sign states that
2:50
this is known as a penis sheath and it's
2:53
not only used for decoration but for
2:55
protection against insect bites
2:58
what sort of insect bites are going
3:01
straight for them and their agents this
3:04
confuses me a bit the long-term effects
3:06
of marriage yet the man and the woman
3:09
husband and wife but when you turn it
3:11
around they suddenly become the wife and
3:15
the husband the woman and the man they
3:17
haven't aged they haven't changed but
3:19
they switch places yet they're the same
3:21
person which means to become one one
3:23
becomes two I get it now
3:25
it's genius I can choose whichever sound
3:29
effect I want like B
3:32
there's a swarm of bees in there swarm
3:35
of bees how about how about a police car
3:46
they're not coming they're not coming
3:46
for you they're not gonna be very
3:49
careful with us it's quite a challenge
3:52
you don't know I mess it up charge
3:54
starting up gonna be very careful with
3:56
this is quite a challenge to not touch
3:59
it's like that game operation you just
4:02
swoop it around I almost kind of I
4:05
almost kind of
4:07
so close shaking so close I see a jewel
4:16
down inside the mouth of this creature
4:20
and it says to grab it I have to reach
4:23
my hand down in here the prince the
4:29
portrait of Prince is made out of
4:32
cassette tape not the wrapping but the
4:36
actual tape that's inside the cassette
4:39
has been strewn out to look like the
4:44
artist formerly known as this entire
4:57
room is a complete mine scram we'll grab
5:00
a ball set it on table and gently nudge
5:04
it in an attempt to give you a better
5:12
perspective of the room I'll walk down
5:16
to this end and you can see how the
5:18
table is completely shifted so the room
5:23
goes uphill and the table on the far
5:26
right is way taller than the far left
5:29
making the table even but the room is
5:32
angled surprisingly this is a coffin in
5:35
the shape and body style of an animal so
5:38
you will be laid to rest down there in
5:41
his torso and the entire body including
5:44
the head would be put under the ground
5:47
that's very interesting it's coming
5:49
around full circle
5:51
wait for it wait for it that's right
5:54
it's a genuine shrunken
6:00
that's what at least that's what the
6:00
that's what the sign stays while we
6:02
might be used to trophies that are
6:04
kicking soccer balls or holding a
6:05
baseball bat in New Guinea they have
6:08
skull trophies imagine that is a
6:11
paperweight sitting on your desk look
6:13
into its eyes come on see what's going
6:17
on in the years since we're on the
6:18
subject matter this is another skull a
6:22
monkey skull used as an altar decoration
6:26
what there are three figures standing on
6:32
a Ledge
6:33
they look very large from this angle but
6:35
once I pull away you realize that they
6:38
are sitting at the bottom of a telescope
6:41
they're way down there you have to look
6:43
through there to even see them if you
6:45
crossed star wars 80 80 from Empire
6:48
Strikes Back with a Jackalope you'd have
6:51
this fast it's fast can be you'll never
6:53
catch some very unusual animals this
6:58
hair is it looks like it's going to go
7:01
to space and next to him is a six toed
7:05
Pig a two-headed calf a Siamese goat and
7:11
these dogs one of them are made of
7:13
clothes pens and this one completely out
7:17
of denim he's got his 501 Zhan
7:51
I'm sensing a theme here I got yet

8:54
back end
8:55

9:55
that Florida humidity Oh Stevie dude is
9:59
that Florida humidity I got confused
10:06
back in the medieval times if I would
10:06
have sat in a contraption like that had
10:07
been told what kind of lover I was I
10:10
would have been put to shame by wearing
10:12
this mask that latches around your
10:15
noggin you have to walk through the city
10:17
with this metal mask of shame what were
10:29
you more scared of the creatures in
10:32
front of you or not go there go it works
10:37
just to give it a little better
10:38
perspective
10:39
watch this let's see how it drops of
10:42
course I'm just paying attention to the
10:44
fact that he's wearing socks and
10:45
flip-flops and that he's doing that for
10:49
whatever reason where you're looking
10:51
through is a two-way mirror this girl is
10:53
not making a face at me she's making a
10:55
face at herself not knowing that I'm on
10:58
the opposite side and before you get
10:59
weird about it
11:00
it's Ripley's fault they have they have
11:03
a camera here they encourage people to
11:05
look at passer buyers other tourists
