I just pinched my finger welcome
0:19
everyone Adam the woo
0:22
here today I'm saying
0:25
goodbye to the Chester drawers I know a
0:28
lot of people say you're really showing
0:30
your roots by calling it Chester drawers
0:34
but what else would you call these
0:57
woo still consuming only water I will
0:57
give a weight loss update in a few days
1:00
I'm almost at one month so I will give
1:03
the next weight loss documentation to
1:07
the world at the on month plateau of me
1:10
tapering back on my eating habits
1:13
drinking only water I still have not had
1:15
coffee and juice or milk or anything
1:18
other than water at some point I will go
1:21
back to coffee with less cream and less
1:23
sugar but that's a long ways off I still
1:25
have a long way to go to get down to the
1:28
weight I want to get to soay stay tuned
1:30
hopefully in a few days I will give you
1:33
an update on how much I have lost but
1:37
what do you think I still have a ways to
1:39
go but I think you can see a
1:41
considerable difference from when I
1:44
started this three 3 and 1/2 weeks
1:56
ago I love these old school McDonald's
1:56
signs and I also love the fact that that
2:00
is driving down the road I'm pulling
2:02
into a storage unit area some offices in
2:05
a storage unit area here in Fullerton
2:07
California and I don't know if you've
2:09
ever heard the band Social Distortion
2:12
well they were based out of Fullerton
2:14
and are probably the biggest punk band
2:16
or even mainstream band to come out of
2:19
Fullerton California and I got a little
2:22
inside tip on where the former cbba
2:25
Studios were where they recorded their
2:28
first albums you look through my side
2:30
mirror you will see the numbers
2:33
1895 and then the letter N that is the
2:37
former casbas Studios where Mike Ness
2:41
and the rest of the gang from Social
2:43
Distortion way back in the day recorded
2:46
their first song and their first album
2:50
Mommy's little monster the thing that
2:51
really drew me into the whole Punk scene
2:54
and the punk lifestyle was the DIY
2:57
do-it-yourself attitude and nothing said
2:59
says do it yourself more than recording
3:04
music in a little building that's used
3:08
for storage course it's been changed
3:09
around a lot now it's used for window
3:12
storage video online just look up Mike
3:14
NES cbos Studios you can find it on
3:18
YouTube and way back in the day Mike NES
3:20
was here giving an interview talking
3:22
about the studio and giving a tour of
3:24
the studio right
3:27
here in this parking lot another really
3:30
cool tidbit about social distortion some
3:32
of their early songs the singer Mike NES
3:35
would sing about sitting by the railroad
3:37
tracks smoking cigarettes and whatnot
3:40
these are the railroad tracks that he
3:42
was singing about because they would
3:44
hang out in that studio which was right
3:47
there and of course come here hear the
3:50
sounds of the trains going by a lot of
3:52
that was incorporated into his mindset
3:55
when he wrote the
3:56
songs pretty cool
4:04
another legendary Punk Rock Spot here in
4:04
Fullerton was a venue by the name of
4:06
ichabods it is been written about it has
4:08
been documented in former you know VHS
4:12
versions of punk rock documentaries it
4:15
burned down a few years ago and now
4:18
there is a Burger King where it once
4:21
stood think of all the bands that played
4:23
in that exact spot
4:34
it's crazy to think that bands like the
4:34
cramps the adolescence all played in the
4:37
spot where this Burger King sits there
4:40
was another building here a
4:51
history this is the Fullerton
4:51
Transportation Depot and the reason I
4:55
stopped off here is because right over
4:57
at the bus station was a very tragic
5:00
event that happened a few years
5:03
ago has become very
5:05
controversial and they have set up a
5:08
makeshift Memorial to the homeless man
5:12
who was beaten to death by some police
5:15
officers right over there the
5:17
interesting thing is I have been here
5:19
before to this venue called the slide
5:22
bar I never realize that right here on
5:25
this pole there have been letters
5:28
pictures
5:30
notes all in
5:32
dedication of this man this is Kelly
5:35
Thomas and you can see the backside of
5:38
this bus only sign they have placed a
5:42
photo of him and says change for
5:46
justice this side says buses only this
5:50
side is the memorial there's some pretty
5:54
intense
5:55
footage on the internet you can look up
5:58
somewhere at the
6:00
train station or up here on the bus
6:03
station there were s some security
6:05
cameras that filmed the beating of this
6:08
man it happened basically right here on
6:11
the
6:13
corner basically sitting right next to
6:16
this pole and happened right in here
6:19
it's pretty it's pretty sad and very
6:22
dramatic but if you want to look it up
6:23
and check it out you can find it online
6:26
and just around the corner from that
6:27
location is this mural and you'll see
6:29
the words Leo Fender in that mural which
6:34
brings me to my next spot former site of
6:36
the Leo Fender Factory the original spot
6:40
for Fender guitars now sits a parking
7:02
structure Fe your eyes on these this is
7:03
the entire set of th's company trading
7:07

7:13

7:16
in near mint to Mint Condition there are
7:21
44 of them the first half have this pink
7:25
border around them and then the second
7:28

7:31
little more than half have a little bit
7:34
different border but man these are
7:39
