Los Angeles this is like the
1:10

1:25
Valley it's the world's largest
1:25
thermometer it doesn't really make any
1:27
noise the soundtrack is provided my by
1:30
Me by my mouth that soundtrack theme
1:32
song that you just heard me give you is
1:36
not copywritten it's never been done
1:37
before it's a first time experience that
1:40
I just let out I let loose when I saw
1:42
the big humongous world's largest
1:44
thermometer I just gave that song that
1:46
song can never be reproduced I can never
1:47
I don't even know how I even sang that
1:49
little jingle so you can rewind it and
1:51
maybe put that as your ringtone do you
1:54
want that that world's largest
1:56
thermometer jingle that came out of my
1:58
mouth to be your ring tone I didn't
1:59
think so no nobody wants that but anyway
2:01
look at this the world's largest
2:12
thermometer it's pretty massive it's
2:12
134
2:14
134 ft tall why did they pick that
2:18
height well the reason for that is back
2:20
in 1910 1915 somewhere in the 1910 area
2:26
there was a huge Heat Wave out here in
2:28
Death Valley and the highest recorded us
2:31
temperature ever in the existence of the
2:34
world since they've been keeping track
2:35
of it anyway was
2:37
134° so what did they do they built a
2:41
Monumental thermometer 134 ft tall how
2:45
ironic that's 134 ft and the hottest
2:48
temperature ever was 134 you can pretty
2:51
much count it all the way up 134 ft
2:54
which means right now I'm touching my
2:56
hand is 134 ft tall look at this
3:10
bmimp I'm tapping the top of 134 ft it's
