but it's a little bit of a illusion
0:13
because
0:14
i'm really in the concrete jungle
0:17
here in burbank
0:19
actually i don't even know what the name
0:20
of this place no this is the uh the
0:22
empire center right here the empire
0:24
center roscoe soul train cheers
0:26
everybody i was gonna stay in the house
0:27
but we're not inside no doesn't make a
0:30
lot of sense to drink a piping hot
0:32
caffeinated beverage when it's 96
0:34
degrees here in the valley yeah it's a
0:36
hot one is burbank still the valley yeah
0:38
it's the valley it's technically the
0:39
valley i have no game plan today we have
0:42
not hung out in a long time no so i said
0:45
let's get together and we're just going
0:46
to go around burbank and maybe some of
0:48
the surrounding valley areas and see
0:50
some stuff yeah we decided we wanted to
0:52
start here at the a men's warehouse but
0:54
unfortunately all the men have gone home
0:56
they've gone home to sleep well
0:59
they're they're in another warehouse
1:01
somewhere
1:02
everything else here is open though
1:03
there's a walmart there's a target
1:06
in fact when i lived in hollywood years
1:07
ago i realized this was the closest
1:09
walmart
1:10
very few walmarts in southern california
1:13
it's more of a target demographic it
1:14
sure is
1:15
but weirdly enough the largest ikea in
1:18
the entire world is right across the
1:20
street from us i bought a lot of
1:21
furniture from my hollywood apartment
1:22
there that i no longer have in my
1:24
possession the apartment and the
1:25
furniture
1:27
i'm inviting you to join me shall you
1:30
now just about a block from where we
1:32
were you see the truck going by you also
1:34
see these rocks here but then you see
1:36
massive mountains
1:38
over there speed limit five mile what do
1:40
you think that speed limit sign is for i
1:43
mean you can't drive through the wall no
1:44
it's for running you know in case you're
1:46
like running over here uh you just gotta
1:48
keep it under five miles an hour so you
1:50
can just just jog at five yeah
1:53
now supposedly
1:54
over here
1:56
at this pet shelter animal shelter
1:59
there is a hollywood pet walk of fame i
2:03
don't know where it is but i'm gonna
2:04
guess it's probably next to the building
2:05
oh yeah right here it's only like a
2:07
block for wherever you just work
2:09
they even got a fire hydrant right there
2:10
for you in case you need to relieve
2:12
yourself
2:13
it is
2:15
now i do know a lot of
2:17
hollywood animals but i probably don't
2:18
know all these so in 55
2:20
there was gypsy which was a horse
2:23
sam which was a dog
2:26
jackie which was a lion none of those
2:28
are ringing a bell for me no none of
2:29
them now they're oh francis the mule
2:36
what was that i thought i knew who the
2:36
mule was but now that i'm thinking about
2:37
it i know
2:39
rhubarb
2:40
born in 52 or maybe passed on in 52 was
2:43
a cat that's a good name for
2:46
for a cat
2:48
oh here's the shaggy dog
2:50
right here
2:51
the shaggy dog now i don't think they're
2:53
laid to rest here i think this is just a
2:55
walk of fame here's benji right here
2:57
benji
2:58
of course everyone knows benji
3:00
p wagon
3:02
is it pee or pie pie wacky
3:05
pie wackett was a cat
3:07
spike was a dog
3:09
samantha was a goose
3:11
and then there's wildfire which was a
3:13
dog
3:15
the only one i really know is the shaggy
3:17
dog and benji
3:19
are those the two most famous
3:21
kind of old-time hollywood dogs there's
3:23
got to be a viewer that's going to know
3:24
all the every single one of these
3:26
animals
3:27
i have no idea i think someone will know
3:29
samantha the goose oh yeah
3:32
most famous goose in history
3:35
all right
3:37
in my car now driving around i never
3:39
realized that here on the corner of
3:40
verdugo
3:42
is lincoln park
3:44
there's honest abe right there
3:50
abraham
3:50
lincoln
3:54
did you know that there was an abraham
3:54
lincoln bust in burbank no
3:57
for a second i thought it was abraham
3:58
lincoln from wayne's world yeah
4:02
i like them teeny
4:03
and toasty
4:05
just keeping up with the theme of things
4:06
i've never seen
4:08
in this area i'm pretty familiar there's
4:10
little picnic tables over there with
4:12
butterfly wings i'm pretty familiar with
4:14
this area but there's some stuff i did
4:16
not realize existed
4:18
right here past this foliage
4:22
is a memorial
4:24
to the one and only king of late night
4:26
johnny carson
4:29
put here by the city of burbank park and
4:31
recreation department
4:37
so this is another thing did you know
4:37
about this no man no idea you know i'm
4:40
not really crazy about johnny carson i
4:41
was much more of an ed mcmahon fan
4:44
really yeah he always had that like kind
4:45
of like lovable grandpa vibe okay really
4:48
gets me going yes
4:51
you are correct sir yeah i always want
4:53
to be on star search too i i didn't i
4:55
was trying to figure out a talent but i
4:57
i don't know still working on it i said
4:59
when i imitate mcmahon i'm really
5:01
imitating phil hartman as mcmahon yeah
5:03
you are correct sir
5:07
i personally like johnny carson i don't
5:09
think there's another late-night host
5:10
like him i think he was the king and
5:12
yeah i'm not the only person that thinks
5:14
that because right here it says
5:16
dedicated to the king
5:18
not of rock and roll not elvis but to
5:20
late night
5:23
i got a question for the people watching
5:24
this video oh you're going to talk to
5:26
the viewers yeah absolutely all right so
5:28
if johnny carson is the king of late
5:29
night yes who would be the prince of
5:33
it's not valid
5:35
no
5:38
i don't i don't know who that would be
5:40
i was going to say conan o'brien but
5:41
conan's conan is no longer on late night
5:44
i'm going to say it's jimmy kimmel
5:46
i wouldn't say kimmel
5:51
who are some of the others you got james
5:51
corden
5:53
yeah and then you got leno who's no
5:54
longer in late night well does in it
5:56
what about is letterman doing anything
5:58
anymore
6:03
letterman was great he was great i would
6:03
i would consider letterman in my opinion
6:04
letterman would be the prince of late
6:06
night personally
6:07
i loved him is there an age bracket for
6:09
a prince
6:10
no definitely not a prince could be any
6:12
age prince yeah
6:15
up into his 60s and prince
6:17
the artist formerly known as he did some
6:19
late night appearances so that just puts
6:21
everything into a complete spiral
6:24
now driving over kind of near not the
6:26
back side of water but the back side of
6:28
the disney studios and throw that in
6:30
because it's a disney reference
6:32
but if you've ever seen
6:34
the
6:35
john carpenter classic halloween they
6:37
did a kind of a pickup moment here
6:39
where the car is driving down this road
6:42
and they're talking about ben tramer
6:44
lori and her friend and you can see this
6:46
this isn't the exact angle but this is
6:48
the spot
6:49
and it's just right next to you just
6:50
follow this road
6:52
and you end up right at the disney
6:53
studios also where mickey mouse park was
6:56
going to be which is
6:57
more or less disneyland but then it
6:58
moved to they decided to put it in
7:00
orange county and not up here towards la
7:03
and just to show so that little concrete
7:06
part there that is notable in
7:09
the movie
7:10
see up there the tippy top
7:24
walt disney company
7:24
has a little horror film correlation
7:27
michael myers i ended up parking my car
7:29
back there
7:31
and walking up to the disney studios i
7:33
want to show the imagineer building
7:37
because there's a correlation with where
7:38
i live in celebration florida and the
7:40
architect that built
7:42
the building we're not gonna be able to
7:43
get on property but we'll be able to
7:44
kind of see it from the from the road
7:46
and from this angle you can see the
7:48
water tower over there too so kind of
7:50
peeking out that just shows
7:52
the distance
7:53
that i've walked and fun fact this is
7:56
the only place that you could see a
7:58
partner statue yeah we don't have access
8:00
to here today but there is a partner
8:03
statue over there that you can get a
8:05
photo with
8:07
not in front of a castle
8:09
there's walt and mickey you can't really
8:10
see mickey walt is obscuring mickey but
8:13
you zoom in
8:25
it's pretty neat
8:25
so if we were allowed in there which we
8:26
do not have credentials to get in today
8:28
we'll be able to go up and stand next to
8:30
walt mickey and say
8:32
thanks for the memories i was going to
8:33
try to do a mickey can you do mickey
8:36
is that better
8:41
wait who was that oh
8:41
let's see how do i do a mickey start off
8:43
with an oh boy oh boy there you go and
8:46
then go into something else uh you know
8:48
my mind just goes to dark places about
8:50
the oh boy i just know just in general
8:52
like whenever i when everybody's like
8:54
hey you should uh do this my mind always
8:56
goes to just dirty
8:58
nasty raw
9:00
um
9:01
fun whenever you see the partner statue
9:04
pretty much yeah it's kind of like so
9:05
what i do at arnold i have to start off
9:08
with a that's right
9:09
come on
9:10
and then i can go into it i can't just
9:13
yeah try it come on come on do it come
9:15
here i always thought that was the
9:16
german and venice that you were doing
9:18
that's true german and venice has a
9:19
pretty good arnold
9:21
yeah german and venice that's right we
9:24
we had an arnold off once where him and
9:27
i got together and we did arnold in a
9:28
video together for like a minute
9:30
straight
9:31
he he has a better german accent than i
9:33
do because he's german he is german yeah
9:35
i'm not
9:36
so he has the upper hand on that you're
9:37
not german
9:39
no this is what i want to show you see
9:40
the dwarfs up there holding the building
9:42
this was built by famous architect
9:45
michael graves
9:47
not the singer of the misfits you know
9:49
danzig was a singer missus but also
9:50
michael graves was as well but an
9:52
architect with the same name
9:54
known in the
9:56
structural stability building world
9:59
and interesting fact he also not only
10:02
built this building with the dwarfs
10:04
but also the post office where i live
10:06
and
10:07
the the uh the florida
10:09
the in walt disney world the uh swan
10:13
and the the dolphin that's right he
10:15
built the swan and dolphin yeah yeah i
10:17
like are you doing sure are you doing
10:19
charades swan and
10:27
so every time i'm walking down market
10:27
street at celebration to get a coffee
10:29
like this
10:30
i am standing next to a piece piece of
10:33
micrograves just like i am here so i
10:35
wanted to show that
10:36
not the one from this good stuff not the
10:38
one for them not not the singer from the
10:40
misfits
10:41
different micrographs and from that
10:43
point just gonna walk one block
10:46
down here to where
10:48
mickey mouse park originally was gonna
10:49
be
10:50
just looking at these houses
10:53
kind of a nice neighborhood right here
10:59
if i had to guess i'd say a million and
10:59
a half starting on these houses or more
11:02
or more okay or more now if this was a
11:05
if this was in the midwest this house
11:06
would probably be about three hundred
11:07
thousand dollars
11:09
but this is not the midwest no this is
11:11
right next to disney studios and it said
11:13
burbank
11:15
and it's weird because you wouldn't
11:16
think that literally right across the
11:18
street is the studio yeah just right
11:20
here right here
11:22
welcome to hollywood
11:28
this is the spot i've been here before
11:28
but just real quick like
11:30
wanted to show this is before the
11:31
freeway was put in and before the
11:33
animation building
11:35
but right over here was gonna be
11:38
what is now known as disneyland which is
11:41
another 30 miles south of here
11:48
imagine if the city would have
11:48
let walt have the park here it was the
11:49
city that said no we don't want that
11:51
here
11:52
wow
11:53
and they probably
11:55
now they're probably thinking hey that
11:56
was a bad decision we probably should
11:58
have said
11:59
build it
12:00
and they will come
12:01
it's like field of dreams
12:03
kevin costner maybe yeah also located in
12:06
burbank i'm kind of
12:07
having flashbacks to my 2015 late 2015.
12:12

12:13
yeah i know tom gray i love tom green
12:15
back in the early mtv days back when he
12:17

but he was a rapper he also did rap yeah
12:24
and then he started doing like van
12:25
dwelling stuff recently in the last few
12:27
years i think he moved back to canada
12:28
however in 2015
12:31
he would always post online is when i
12:33
moved to orange county and he would say
12:35

12:37

of griffith park over there in fact that
14:24
antenna that you can see

capsule used to be at nickelodeon
15:51
studios in orlando
15:53
is somewhere in there i don't know if
15:55
that's true or not or just a rumor about
15:56
what they say and cannot visit burbank
15:58
without going by the wonder year's house
16:04
which is right up
16:04
this road
16:12
still looks the same all these years
16:12
later
16:13
they're playing football out here in the
16:14
yard
16:16
i've been by this house a few times over
16:18
course of my life
16:20
this brings back memories of them
16:21
standing in they are that opening credit
16:23
sequence
16:24
the winnie's house was across the road
16:36
and the brother
16:36
was kind of the bullyish brother wayne
16:38
he wasn't back to the future yeah he was
16:40
in the dinner scene
16:42
which is another tie-in because there's
16:44
a back-to-feature location at the end of
16:45
this road too is it really oh yes if you
16:47
go to the end of that street one block
16:49
over
16:54
the cambridge park here in the city of
16:54

17:14
it's open to people playing basketball
17:16
in here
17:22
the door was open
17:22
this is the spot right here
17:32

17:32
jennifer parker was over here
17:40
this is awesome oh you gotta get there
17:56
these doors still look the same

and over there they used to have a mural
18:17
painted but huey and the other judges
18:19

18:22
more or less classic truck alert look at
18:24
that
18:42
vintage car wash sign too
18:42
always open 24 7.
18:49
except they're closed the building is
18:49
shuttered
18:50
yeah i like how that says always open
18:52
yeah definitely not but
18:54
not open and waiting at the light here
18:57
on valprida street
18:59
there's a plane up there
19:02
yeah victory victory we're next to
19:04
victory boulevard okay but is that is
19:07
that like that's a sign that's not an
19:08
old real plane i can't tell from this
19:10
distance it's not an old plane but
19:12
across the street from us too
19:14
is west coast customs
19:15
we might be closed today
19:17
west coast customs yes
19:20
i went ahead and just found a parking
19:21
spot we're gonna walk over here this is
19:23
the shipping and receiving entrance
19:26
is that tv show even still on it's not
19:29
but they're still very successful
19:31
so they still do custom cars those tv
19:33
shows just not on a lot of times they'll
19:35
have a lot of the cars parked right here
19:37
so they'll have like two cool cars
19:39
parked here they have a lot of cool
19:40
stuff in the window you can't really see
19:42
too much yeah you can kind of see in the
19:44
window there the classic car
19:46
alert
19:47
it looks like uh
19:52
it looks like there's a it looks like
19:52
there's like a ride vehicle in there too
19:54
kind of like a like an autopilot
19:57
yeah that's for six flags west coast
19:59
racers they must have designed
20:01
the ride vehicle for that that's
20:02
interesting i've heard that's pretty
20:04
good i haven't been on it yet but it's
20:05
like a new attraction out of six flags
20:07
and this was an unintentional tie-in
20:10
yeah i did not mean to show i didn't
20:11
know we're going to see a delorean while
20:14
over at west coast customs in burbank
20:16
because we just went by a back to future
20:18
filming location which was not planned
20:20
we were just in the same general area
20:22
let's say this is just completely
20:23
unplanned today but this is a good
20:24
tie-in
20:26
i think that has a flux capacitor it's
20:28
not time machined out so it might not no
20:30
but it's classy man this is a good one
20:34
that's cool
20:37
you don't get these kind of mountains in
20:38
florida
20:39
at all
20:40
i definitely like the mountains in
20:41
southern california
20:43
this says this is an awful lot
20:46
of cough syrup you know what that means
20:49
uh no i'm wondering if it's like a
20:50
memorial for their friend
20:52
or or something it's got to be it's got
20:54
to have something i don't know yeah
20:57
i like the bolts though they have
20:58
fastened to the building it's pretty
21:00
cool nice little touch
21:03
and right across from that airplane that
21:04
i was showing from the light
21:07
now i made it over to technically north
21:09
hollywood now
21:11
just outside burbank but same general
21:13
area noticing this mural here
21:17
in this alleyway
21:19
this night
21:21
silver night
21:23
silver night i think so get this boarded
21:25
up
21:26
i remember bars being on these windows
21:30
sticking with the bttf theme and look at
21:32
this bear
21:34
oh
21:34
there's a hand going through the bear's
21:36
mouth
21:37
and then the sword is getting kind of
21:39
tossed up in the air and here's two
21:41
lovers
21:42
about to embrace
21:44
each other by the lips
21:46
and this is the
21:48
side of circus lickers
21:51
which is a famous has a clown out front
21:53
yeah this is the back side of circus
21:54
liquors not the backside of water no the
21:57
backside of circus this is where this is
21:58
where the fun stuff happens back here
22:00
used in a lot of movies the one i could
22:02
really think of clueless
22:05
where she walks past circus liquors
22:07
i think a few other ones but the
22:08
clueless definitely is the one that
22:10
really comes to mind
22:13
they have liquor they have an atm they
22:16
have lotto and here's a painting of the
22:19
famous sign
22:20
right here and that famous sign
22:22
is kind of peaking above
22:25
hello
22:26
waving next to the clown
22:31
i like him
22:31
whoa
22:32
someone just tried to crank the car that
22:33
was already started another painting
22:35
over here on this side as well
22:39
this is on the corner of violin and
22:42
burbank half
23:00
they also sell kegs of beer
23:00
they show right here
23:18
i have a non-drinker but i am
23:18
if

you know just alcohol and booze in there
23:22
they got us some man did you get
23:23
something yeah i did i got his bosom
23:25

23:57
on i gotta pop this open i'm having a
23:58
hard time here hold this yep
24:03
this was a whole bit that we did i'm
24:03
sure people probably realized that this
24:05
was all set up we wouldn't bought these
24:07
beforehand
24:10
cheers let's get this in here cheers
24:12
cheers
24:14
let's try to get that in there
24:22
i totally expect this to taste like
24:22
something else in hot water
24:25
i'm a sucker for branding i love this
24:26
stuff does it have a little more flavor
24:27
than the regular water this has got like
24:29
three grams of sugar so you can
24:30
definitely taste a little sweetness
24:32
very good
24:34
and they also have merchandise t-shirts
24:36
which we got down here show off the
24:38
merchandise so they finally they have
24:40
like the old school ones that where they
24:41
have like a little tiny logo here and on
24:43
the back it's blasted but they just put
24:45
these out right now and they have the
24:47
the iconic
24:48
logo on the front i love these these are
24:51
i am more of a front t-shirt design guy
24:53
than a back t-shirt design yeah me too a
24:55
lot of you starting to get kind of
24:56
trendy where people put stuff on the
24:57
pack well yeah i prefer it on the front
25:00
it's come back it's full circle
25:01
everything now
25:10
is that my cardboard
25:10
i think this might be my card
25:22
i think so what were you doing
25:22
spitting all that out i thought you
25:24
liked it it was a good game
25:40
i'm gonna chug this
25:54
stay hydrated
25:54
that's pretty good
26:12
i'm gonna recycle this for two pennies
26:12
she still had some in yours
26:14
i was hoping it would squirt everywhere
26:19
some of these random days are the
26:20
funnest with no plan
26:23
i can't believe someone tried to open my
26:24
car door yeah man
26:26
north hollywood brother magnolia made it
26:28
over now to the corner of vineland ave
26:31
and peach grove street
26:35
peach grove street is right there
26:36
there's a place i've wanted to check out
26:38
for a long time that has
26:40
i don't know what you'd call like a beer
26:42
barrel in front of it a whiskey barrel a
26:44
whiskey barrel but behind the whiskey
26:47
barrel it's down here past the peach
26:49
grove street sign
26:51
they have a almost like a life-size
26:53
reproduction of the bulldog cafe from
26:55
the rocketeer
26:56
that used to sit at disney mgm studios
26:59
way back in the day
27:00
i don't know if it's the real one i'm
27:02
gonna imagine they probably did not
27:03
bring it and
27:05
take the hike cross country but they
27:07
probably built one so whoever owns the
27:09
place here next to mark's paint
27:11
and the odyssey video sign down there
27:14
gotta check that out and on the way over
27:15
you said you have a story about mark's
27:17
paint i was looking for a place called
27:19
eddie brandt's saturday matinee which we
27:22
thought was this place and the reason
27:23
why we thought it was marx paints was
27:26
there's all these movie posters in the
27:28
window here there is oh okay okay now
27:30
i'm saying there's pinhead yeah wild
27:32
things well that's a sequel to wild
27:34
things the muppets wizard of oz
27:37
it's all it's it's really they're all
27:38
random and they've been up here for a
27:40
while but what was weird is that we
27:42
thought it was a video store it's not
27:44
it's actually a paint store marks paints
27:46
and they supply all the paints for all
27:48
the movie studios wow so on the inside
27:51
of here there's you can't see them
27:52
unfortunately they're closed but there's
27:54
scripts all over the walls and also they
27:57
have these little tags that are from all
27:59
of the golf carts that run around the
28:01
studios
28:02
so on the inside there's all these
28:04
little tags right back to the future the
28:06
terminator you name it they're really in
28:08
here yeah and one time
28:10
because i was so excited that we were
28:12
that we found this place they took me in
28:14
the back and they showed me a sign from
28:17
the show sons of anarchy i'm about to
28:19
walk in and
28:21
i've never been inside here before but i
28:22
would imagine the bulldog cafe is in the
28:25
back so you're gonna walk through this
28:27
and then they go into like a little
28:28
courtyard area where the bulldog cafe
28:30
sits in the back you can't really see
28:32
the bulldog cafe from the road so it's
28:34
kind of hidden you would never know this
28:35
is back here
28:36
you know my my early 90s late 80s
28:39
touchstone pictures at disney mgm
28:41
studios heart
28:43
is very happy that the bulldog cafe
28:45
exists in some form
28:47
in southern california in north
28:49
hollywood close to burbank area
28:51
give or take so it's pretty pretty
28:52
exciting that the bulldog cafe is still
28:55
around a little rocketeer throwback it's
28:57
a deep cut i don't know if many people
28:59
remember the bulldog cafe but some might
29:00
i do
29:01
you remember it i remember it and maybe
29:04
uh
29:04
a baker's dozen of others
29:07
including the people that own idol hour
29:09
absolutely
29:10
awesome and decided to stick around and
29:12
get a bite to eat here as well they had
29:13
a few different appetizers
29:15
a spicy
29:17
fried broccoli a steamed broccoli a
29:19
spicy broccoli
29:21
no not broccoli cauliflower what am i
29:23
saying brock cauliflower all kind of
29:24
looks like cauliflower
29:27
and then also a chili loaded loaded
29:30
chili
29:31
tater tots give me some of your tots
29:33
yeah
29:34
as well
29:35
and then as far as
29:37
the the full meal we both got the same
29:40
kind of burger which is like a double
29:41
burger with the works with the works on
29:44
it so good yeah it would basically as
29:46
we're sitting here you can see the
29:47
bulldog cafe just over our shoulder
29:50
there the bulldog cafe which is pretty
29:51
cool
29:53
and once again the bulldog cafe is very
29:56
well hidden
29:57
the top but behind the keg here
30:00
odyssey you think there's anything in
30:01
the odyssey video window
30:03
no nothing in there
30:05
where's the other video show you were
30:06
talking about right down this way here
30:08
let's go down there look oh right there
30:10
it says north hollywood it's just down
30:12
the block
30:13
and this is the corner peach grove
30:15
street and vineland f
30:17
well if you want to rent
30:19
not
30:21
videos but if you want to rent moving
30:23
supplies
30:24
this was the eddie branch place eddie
30:26
brandt's saturday matinee it was an old
30:29
video store i've been around for years
30:31
and years and years it's very special
30:32
you can find basically any kind of
30:34
old movie that you wanted to find here
30:36
there's two dudes that worked here that
30:37
were very you know big into old movies
30:40
yeah but yeah now it's a uh
30:55
and just one block over this is kind of
30:55
like a little storybook style house
30:58
i don't know if anyone lives here though
30:59
no it looks like it's kind of abandoned
31:01
it's got these little
31:02
lavender kisses all over it
31:05
pretty neat looking there's a lot of
31:06
these storybook houses around l.a drove
31:08
a couple miles over to studio city now
31:10
i am standing next to the hand car wash
31:14
because there is a hand this is just a
31:16
mural
31:17
version of it but there's a couple
31:18
places through here that no longer exist
31:20
in l.a like do pars mars is gone it's
31:23
gone
31:24
used in valley girl what else was it
31:26
used in
31:27
i don't know but boogie nights
31:29
all that at dupar you did what i met the
31:31
owner once you met the owner of dupars
31:33
there is still one over by cbs so maybe
31:35
that is the one by cbs but the one over
31:38
in north hollywood area is god's i think
31:40
this one
31:41
is gone there's only one dupars left but
31:43
the ones that were used in those movies
31:45
gone studio city this isn't too far from
31:47
universal
31:48
studios the hand car wash
31:50
did this place closed down all right
31:52
it's a good place as any to do the outro
31:54
that's going to do it for today
31:56
with rosco soul train i have a sticker
32:01
you have a sticker yeah look at that
32:02
very nice i always wanted to ask you
32:05
duke's a hat are you going to do some
32:06
hazards that way you got the name or
32:07
just a clever uh i used to play a lot of
32:10
bass guitar and a lot of funky soul base
32:11
guitar okay so my friend's called the
32:13
soul train and my family always called
32:15
me roscoe
32:16
so it kind of makes sense yeah it made
32:18
sense
32:19
it wasn't just something i made up like
32:20
two years ago because i thought it was a
32:21
funny moniker i mean i think of the
32:23
dukes yeah you probably probably get
32:25
that all the time i grew up with the
32:26
dukes of hazard because i'm a child who
32:27
didn't yeah
32:29
was the 80s in the 70s well i so i was
32:31
watching it when it was in syndication
32:33
in the 80s exactly so to me it was a i'm
32:36
also
32:37
a big 80s guy pink cadillac
32:40
oh look at the sun glaring off that's a
32:42
pink corvette that's a pink that's a
32:44
corvette i think so it could be wrong on
32:47
that is that a corvette
32:49
this is like a roadside relic right here
32:51
yeah it used to be a lot taller too but
32:52
apparently studio city got mad oh
32:55
because chop it down
32:57
the hand had longer fingers
33:05
interesting oh the hollywood bowl
33:05
celebrating 100 years according to that
33:07
sign
33:13
you know if i can't if the hand car wash
33:13
was open
33:14
i could get my car
33:15
and get my car detailed sure by hand by
33:18
hand
33:19
not a big hand though small hand or
33:21
maybe that's a lot bigger hand than i
33:23
have i mean
33:25
you got big big hands i do have big
33:27
hands let me see how it matches up to
33:29
these fingers
33:31
yeah so when you get closer you realize
33:33
my hand
33:34
does not
33:36
you know not the magnitude yeah of what
33:38
it should be but it's like this yes
33:41
the grass i have small hands they're
33:42
very small small hands here
33:45
to say about a guy with small hands
33:46
right
33:48
uh didn't austin power say something
33:49
about that
33:51
i'll see you the next video
33:53
whoa you're like shadow there you are
33:55
there you go
33:56
you want to do the vlog over uh the vlog
33:59
is over
34:00
nailed it was it in the car is that my
34:02
car
34:03
it is your car no it's not my car
34:05
somebody's door checking again someone
34:06
else's door to my torch you know what i
34:08
just realized the hand is holding a
34:10
sponge
34:12
that's a sponge right there it's a
34:13
square squared sponge too it is full of
34:16
soapy bubbles
34:28
next time i hold a sponge i'm going to
34:28
hold it just like that on the tips of my
34:31
finger okay after a little columbo like
34:33
research skills
34:34
noticing the standing water here
34:36
this place is still open it's just
34:38
closed for the day it's already six
34:39
after six pm
34:42
