1:56
snake popping out of the snake's mouth
2:00
this brings back memories
2:02
i have this exact scooter in fact
2:05
i bought this brand of scooter because
2:07
of german and venice
2:09
welcome to los angeles the best best
2:12
city in the world it's good to be here
2:14
last time we hung out well we were at
2:16
universal horror nights together but
2:18
before that you showed me around venice
2:20
beach in santa monica today you're going
2:22
to show me around
2:24
where are you going to show me 6th
2:25
street viaduct bridge right down the way
2:27
in whittier yeah this is pretty dang
2:30
awesome
2:32
look at this
2:34
it's good to see traffic flowing over it
2:36
and a little information placard here
2:39
the original sixth street viaduct
2:42
you i don't even know what that word
2:44
means you you taught me that word via
2:46
duct
2:47
duck i think any bridge it has like
2:49
those arches that's called bioduck i'm
2:52
not sure i'm from germany like these the
2:54
best
2:55
all right
2:56
it's going to be down there
2:58
but they make it really nice here too
3:00
so you're going to have like a little
3:02
overlook of sorts over there
3:04
i'm thinking of movies that i've seen
3:06
this the old bridge in greece probably
3:08
the most popular
3:10
repo man
3:12
zombieland
3:13
zombieland terminator
3:16
terminator the bridge is a terminator
3:18
yeah first one yep
3:21
doesn't really look like the old bridge
3:22
kind of looks like the old bridge but
3:24
has its own style now yeah it might not
3:27
really seem like much
3:29
but it really is a lot because you know
3:31
in my mind i always wanted this to
3:33
finally open
3:35
it's finally open
3:40
for years i've been able to go across
3:40
the la river
3:44
and if you look way over there you see
3:44
the hollywood sign
3:52
at least three quarters of the letters
3:52
peeking out from behind that bill there
3:53
is a rather large crow right there on
3:55
the side of this building
4:09
and look at the board ape down there
4:09
the nft
4:11
yeah
4:17
yeah it looks like part of this railing
4:17
has already been removed and now they
4:19
have put this temporary fence up here
4:23
but you can see
4:24
yeah that's okay this sign you can't
4:26
really tell what that sign said it was
4:28
like a spiral staircase over here
4:31
well i wouldn't call it a staircase
4:32
there's a spiral
4:34
type of item we had to go down that
4:37
cannot go over there though
4:39
not open quite yet
4:41
so sidewalk closed even though it looks
4:43
like a lot of people have gone you see
4:44
some scuff marks have you ever been down
4:46
in the la river i've been there a few
4:48
times you've been down there yeah really
4:52
i would it would feel so cool to go down
4:54
there not because i would be in the
4:56
water cooling myself off but it would
4:57
just feel like a good experience
5:00
to get down there in the river it is a
5:01
really nice feeling all the movies
5:03
you've seen and tv shows and commercials
5:05
come like flashing back to you when
5:06
you're down there
5:08
you feel like you're racing a car in
5:10
greece yep
5:21
with all the cool graffiti on it yeah i
5:21
think it's interesting about this
5:37
ah i love organic sounds but i wanted to
5:37
point out how the river
5:39
has an indentation in it so usually
5:47
all you can see is just where the river
5:47
is in the indentation today it's a
5:48
little fuller than normal across the way
5:50
there they're doing a little filming
5:52
for some sort of production
5:54
now there is a motorcycle here
5:57
and an officer down there i don't know
5:58
if he's trying to stop traffic and
6:00
another train going by
6:02
pulling into the station also know why
6:06
his videos are almost 40 minutes long
6:08
because he explains everything
6:11
on the point you know
6:13
you drag him out you don't answer like
6:14
yes i took the train or no he's like
6:17
well i thought he took the train so now
6:20
you know how would you answer it german
6:23
and venice have you ever taken a track i
6:24
never took the train in los angeles i
6:26
should do it i would be an adventurer i
6:28
think
6:28
that's precisely to the point
6:30
i got to adopt quick precise answers
6:33
from you
6:35
but uh that's all right yeah
6:38
i drag it out yeah it takes me i'm not
6:40
good at explaining things i have to i
6:42
have to use a lot of words okay i'm
6:44
going very very quickly on the scooter
6:46
now but look at all these lights that
6:47
they have placed here
6:49
so basically going to go up here and do
6:50
a u-turn
6:52
so at light at night these are probably
6:54
all illuminated okay now heading under
6:56
the bridge for a moment and when you're
6:59
in la and you go under a bridge you
7:00
cannot help but think of the red hot
7:03
chili pepper song i was just informed
7:05
that this bridge
7:06
part of the reason they rebuilt it they
7:07
built it to be earthquake proof
7:09
so these items here how many inches to
7:11
the left and right 30 inches 30 inches
7:14
and 30 inches to the right
7:20
so every one of these pylons through
7:20
here
7:21
is makes it the bridge earthquake proof
7:24
so if there's an earthquake this will
7:26
not crumble down
7:28
it'll just kind of rest on those
7:31
and shift either 30 inches to the left
7:33
or 30 to the right which is a long way
7:34
now one of the ways to get down to the
7:36
la river has been fenced off they're
7:38
putting this new fence here so we're
7:40
talking about terminator terminator 2
7:42
the t1000
7:45
first reared its head
7:47
right over here i thought i was really
7:49
going to just like wearing these glasses
7:51
they're kind of growing on me
7:53
how do you think they look
7:54
do i look like tom cruise you look like
7:56
tom cruise that's what i'm about to say
7:57
really i was like maverick yeah
8:00
should i wear them more than just one
8:02
day i was going to wear them one day
8:03
discard of them and i was going to buy
8:05
my normal style glasses again but i
8:07
don't know oh they look good on you like
8:09
them yeah i also have to wonder if at
8:11
any point
8:12
this staircase here will be accessible
8:14
you can see it's all
8:16
coned off stanchioned off fenced off
8:18
but it looks like this is built to be
8:20
you know where
8:22
people who are doing walks can go up the
8:25
side of it
8:29
looks pretty cool with the train going
8:29
underneath there
8:30
now if we continued on into this
8:32
unauthorized area because they're doing
8:34
construction over there
8:36
it kind of dips down and that would lead
8:38
into the la river and as this heavy
8:40
construction goes by a couple blocks
8:42
from where we just were
8:44
right over in this area was more of the
8:47
madonna borderline spots in fact right
8:50
over there is where she was dancing 6th
8:52
street bridge and right over here all
8:54
right
8:54
looking at your phone now just for give
8:57
a little match up there
8:59
well he just looks like oh he's break
9:00
dancing there i was kind of wondering
9:02
what was going on there
9:03
it was located right here we were just
9:05
kind of discussing that at that time
9:07
madonna had no idea the superstar she
9:10
was about to become and that was one of
9:11
her early one of her first music videos
9:14
now i know this is kind of peculiar but
9:16
we were just standing across the way
9:18
over there
9:19
but when i would watch that music video
9:21
countless times i always wondered what
9:22
was up the staircase that was behind her
9:25
yeah i figured i should probably go up
9:27
and just show exactly where he was
9:29
standing
9:30
so madonna and the breakdancers were
9:31
right down there kind of where those
9:32
motorcycles were
9:35
all right one thing i like about these
9:36
impulsive days don't really have a game
9:38
plan i had no idea i was going to go to
9:40
where the madonna video
9:42
took place
9:43
and the real question is where do we go
9:45
next
9:47
let's go to hollywood hollywood
9:48
boulevard yeah i gotta say standing here
9:50
in the shade with this breeze feels
9:52
amazing right here
9:54
now it's hot out in the in the sun
9:56
obviously
9:58
also i believe is that the fifth or the
10:00
seventh street bridge
10:02
the thing is the
10:03
fourth street fourth street bridge okay
10:05
but i think the fan rob was his name rob
10:08
dierdick
10:10
fantasy factory i think that was the
10:12
fantasy factory building right over
10:14
there back in the day the robin big
10:16
i think don't quote me on that but i
10:18
believe it was
10:20
he said there used to be a skateboard
10:21
out front of it yeah he had a huge
10:23
skateboard he did the world record in
10:25
venice beach he had like 50 people in
10:28
one skateboard
10:29
okay and then he just had it out front
10:31
of the fantasy factory yeah
10:33
crazy
10:34
yeah you can see here where people have
10:36
been doing like donuts
10:38
been spinning their tires around here in
10:40
the middle
11:10
definitely looks really cool with the
11:10
skyline
11:14
all right we're over by another spot
11:14
which i didn't realize that michael
11:16
jackson's beat it
11:18
right inside this door this warehouse
11:21
since then they've kind of added some
11:22
cinder block
11:23
but right inside here
11:26
actually this whole block and you would
11:28
know cause you're one of the biggest
11:29
michael jackson fans that i know
11:31
in fact you have the shirt right here
11:32
that's right and you've covered this in
11:34
great detail we're on our way over to
11:36
hollywood and you were like let's swing
11:37
by the the beta spots
11:39
pretty cool to beat us but if you don't
11:40
call in la yeah here's the
11:42
the gas station over here
11:45
where the manhole was over there
11:47
but that's pretty dang cool
11:49
right inside there is everyone dancing
11:51
from
11:52
the music video right inside here and
11:54
one of the last moments you can kind of
11:55
see the camera pans out you can see the
11:58
staircase right here okay we drove over
12:00
down fifth street and we realized that
12:02
the
12:03
ghostbusters firehouse is being worked
12:05
on so we found a place to park we're
12:08
gonna go see if we can peek in okay the
12:09
firehouse not the exteriors but the
12:12
interior is also used in the jim carrey
12:13
movie the mask
12:15
right here but this is the interiors of
12:17
the ghostbusters firehouse fun fact
12:19
right over here could be seen in rocky
12:22
iii i had the tiger when apollo tells
12:25
rocky he needs to go back to the
12:27
beginning gotta go back to the beginning
12:29
and i believe him i think adrian was
12:31
with rocky but i know paulie was and
12:33
they went up into a little door over
12:35
here and upstairs so this building is
12:38
right next to ghostbusters two movies
12:40
that i really love you know ghostbusters
12:42
and rocky iii probably one of my
12:43
favorite movies favorite of the rocky
12:45
franchise mr t's in it hulk hogan's in
12:47
it but right over here this is in rocky
12:49
iii now i was able to get inside here
12:52
many years ago
12:55
but they're doing some construction in
12:56
it now
12:58
this is kind of a rarity the fact that
13:00
this is open like this
13:06
yeah jim you see did you see the jim
13:06
carrey movie the mask of course i've
13:08
seen it this was the mechanic shop when
13:10
he comes in swirls around i think he
13:12
like sticks something up there you know
13:14
they're
13:15
they're too long but i have to re-watch
13:17
it i didn't know that but i knew the
13:18
ghostbuster interior sharks here so this
13:20
was not only ghostbusters but also
13:22
the map i can't tell if anyone's in here
13:24
or not
13:28
the interiors not the exteriors the
13:28
exteriors were in new york city
13:34
what if they're like tearing the stuff
13:34
out or not
13:36
i don't know
13:37
yeah yeah we're not we can't go past
13:39
here but being told by the workers in
13:41
here that this is going to be a
13:42
firehouse museum but the stairwell still
13:45
back there
13:50
that's that's where the poll was back
13:50
there in the office and everything
13:53
that is pretty cool i'm sure you've seen
13:54
ghostbusters right yeah yeah
14:04
the mask jim carrey
14:04
dude this is awesome so this is going to
14:05
be open
14:06
so people will be able to come in here
14:08
yeah eventually i guess from what i've
14:10
heard it's going to be a museum on the
14:12
fire department a museum on the fire
14:14
department there's gonna be a lot of
14:16
people for ghostbusters coming in here
14:17
that's for sure
14:18
i'll be i'll come in here when it opens
14:20
that's awesome
14:21
you're just completely gutting the place
14:24
wow
14:26
thanks for letting us take a peek man
14:27
this is awesome i appreciate it the one
14:29
with the youtube yeah yeah i do youtube
14:31
showers
14:32
firefighters okay
14:35
basement we gutted the whole basement
14:37
out
14:39
that was kind of a trip because the
14:40
basement had back door with a bunch of
14:42
gunshots
14:54
how do you even get back there you just
14:54
have to go under where you've kind of
14:55
trenched it out
15:01
have you ever tried to match anything up
15:01
from the movie like watch the movie and
15:02
try to match stuff up back there
15:04
yeah a lot of things have changed
15:14
but yeah it's kind of crazy though yeah
15:14
jim carrey's car was right here from the
15:15
mask
15:16
he was like right here in this front
15:18
center i think most of the ghostbusters
15:19
stuff was in the back
15:21
but jim carrey's car was like right here
15:22
when he comes in the mechanics kind of
15:24
like gave him a raw deal and they like
15:26
you know didn't fix the car and then he
15:28
got really mad
15:30
sorry with jim carrey in the mask his
15:32
car was right here
15:34
right over in there
15:37
i don't know if they feel they might
15:38
have filmed the exteriors from the mass
15:39
too i think maybe i had him out front
15:40
and stuff but
15:42
all right what's your name ian ian all
15:45
thanks
15:46
all right good to meet you thank you
15:47
thanks for letting us look around in
15:48
here yeah
15:50
no no chance we can go past that though
15:56
yeah luckily i have a zoom lens on here
15:56
we'll be back when it becomes the museum
15:58
though for sure all right thanks man i
16:00
appreciate it guys have a good one
16:02
yeah that worked out really well i will
16:04
come back here when this becomes a
16:06
museum
16:07
and i think i will not be the only one
16:08
opening day they will probably have a
16:11
massive amount of ghostbuster fans here
16:13
because this is like a bucket list for
16:15
people to get and get inside here and
16:17
then the winston in fifth plaza is from
16:19
rocky iii right over there that is just
16:21
that i mean that's almost just as
16:22
freaking cool
16:23
as ghostbusters
16:25
i think part of the reason i love rocky
16:27
iii is just because of the whole eye of
16:28
the tiger thing going back to the
16:30
beginning you know him he was becoming
16:32
very wealthy he was coming very well off
16:34
and that ended up hindering him
16:36
from really
16:38
doing what he wanted to do and you know
16:39
with apollo's help he had to go back to
16:41
the beginning and he had plenty of money
16:43
to stay in really nice fancy hotels we
16:45
chose
16:47
you know to kind of start over and stay
16:49
in a hotel that was located or a motel
16:51
that was located right here and so right
16:53
here you got rocky iii and then of
16:54
course she got
16:56
ghostbusters interiors over there look
16:57
at those eyes painted on the side of the
16:58
wall now i also believe that this awning
17:00
was where they walked in so this awning
17:02
right here i think is still the awning
17:04
from the 80s so it was kind of in the
17:06
middle of the building i'm kind of going
17:08
off memory i was not planning on doing
17:10
the rocky three spots you know most i
17:11
was in philly that's what it was in la
17:13
but i believe now it is the lorraine
17:15
motel so now here 241 and 243 east 5th
17:18
street is where they kind of walked in
17:20
apollo was not or not apollo but
17:28
not rocky apollo but look at truck
17:28
what's the brother-in-law's name he was
17:29
not very happy
17:30
holly holly was not very happy that they
17:33
were going to be staying here but it was
17:34
right inside this and there's like a
17:35
stairwell up here that kind of goes up
17:37
to the top so where they stay would be
17:39
right up the stairway all right i found
17:41
a photo from that scene so rocky and
17:45
polly and adrian and apollo get out of
17:47
the car
17:48
and you can see the hotel lorraine
17:50
what's called the hotel the rain there
17:51
next to the hotel lorraine
17:53
is now like a cell phone store and then
17:55
there's the pioneer cafe but take a look
17:58
so you have eight little areas so the
18:00
lorraine is in the middle one two three
18:02
four five six letters for lorraine but
18:05
there are there are eight different
18:07
metal objects
18:08
kind of dangling down from the awning
18:11
that you can kind of match up and then
18:13
they walk in that very very door i don't
18:15
know if i've ever seen anybody do a
18:16
video here i saw an article once online
18:18
about it but
18:20
yeah pretty dang cool but this is a spot
18:22
from rocky 3 i just had to prove that it
18:24
really was and this is what it looks
18:25
like across the street and i'm really
18:27
excited that it's still called the hotel
18:31
lorraine so this building over here is a
18:32
cell phone store and there was like a
18:34
diner of some sort over there and then
18:36
let me zoom in on the awning itself so
18:39
you can see that awning has been painted
18:41
green though now it's green but even
18:43
though it's painted green and not the
18:44
color it was in the film you can see
18:46
where there are the eight spots now this
18:48
one is covered so you got one there and
18:50
then the other eight below and then the
18:51
six letters lorraine
18:53
were right across there and then they
18:55
went right inside there it'd be kind of
18:57
interesting to find out if they if they
18:58
filmed inside the room itself in there
19:00
but i'm going to probably say no on that
19:02
one probably just use this as
19:05
as the exterior
19:07
and they use this whole area they just
19:08
kind of showed the you know the area
19:11
itself
19:12
before you know some just some kind of
19:13
b-roll as well but yeah the ghostbusters
19:15
firehouse there
19:16
and then you know german's going over
19:18
there again he's pretty excited about as
19:19
well because he loves special shalon and
19:21
rocky and all that he never knew that
19:22
either but yeah this whole area here
19:23
lorraine motel right next to the
19:25
ghostbusters firehouse interiors take a
19:27
look at some of the signage down here
19:28
you got the cosmetic beauty wholesale
19:30
the hotel bixby right here and then over
19:33
here this printing sign
19:35
take a look at that like old school
19:38
wolfer printing company sign
19:40
one block away from hollywood boulevard
19:42
on the corner of franklin and highland
19:45
is this rather impressive church the
19:47
hollywood united
19:49
methodist church
19:50
which is where the dance scenes
19:54
from back to the future
19:56
and we're going to see if we can
19:58
get inside we're going to go check in
20:00
okay we're in the courtyard here now
20:02
i learned something from your one of
20:04
your latest videos so leah thompson and
20:07
crispin glover took a promotional photo
20:10
right here in front of this little
20:12
archway
20:13
okay we're in here
20:19
this is the enchantment under the sea
20:19
dance
20:20
what the heck
20:23
i've been in here twice before but it's
20:24
been
20:26
quite a few years ago
20:33
i guess you aren't ready for that
20:34
kids are gonna love it
20:41
it's amazing you see like the scuff
20:41
marks down here yeah
20:43
so as i learned this morning from mr
20:45
pike
20:47
they they did this because we think we
20:49
had lighting up here
20:51
and like little floodlights or whatever
20:53
so they
20:55
they
20:55
sanded it down put this on top of this
20:58
here yeah and and like created this so
21:00
michael j fox could
21:03
do his thing and this is the floor that
21:05
he slid across and everything
21:07
look at all the stuff here
21:13
so you're doing an event on november
21:13
12th of this year here we are
21:22
we are recreating the dance
21:22
that's amazing
21:24
that is so cool man
21:26
even though we've been
21:28
people
21:41
i have to go down here
21:42
i gotta go down here
21:45
if you ever
21:47
if he ever accidentally sets fire to the
21:49
living room rug go easy on him
21:52
oh look at this they placed this in here
21:55
and obviously in the movie they had to
21:56
make two double doors oh this is awesome
22:00
they have it all set up what always gets
22:02
me is how he comes out of here now this
22:04
is very fascinating
22:05
so look at the paint here
22:08
the etching of the paint this is from
22:10
you know filmed in 84 released in 85 i
22:12
think it was filmed in 84 or maybe
22:13
filmed in early 85 but i think that's
22:14
from the 84.
22:16
movie came out in 85. but look at the
22:18
paint here
22:19
the paint is still
22:21
on the side
22:22
just like it's right there same door and
22:26
then like i said they're doing an event
22:27
in november got the enchantment of the
22:30
dance up there
22:31
this is michael j fox walked right down
22:33
this
22:35
and down here
22:36
oh my gosh that was very interesting
22:40
music
22:49
this just blows my mind
22:49
i don't know why i just love this so
22:50
much
22:54
there's the angle right there and then
22:56
of course
22:57
you know george and romain were standing
22:59
right there at that doorway
23:06
i think this is i love this almost more
23:06
than the stage itself
23:09
this little area here
23:14
and they got it all set up for when
23:14
they're going to do the event
23:16
in november
23:21
my god
23:21
it's my favorite movie
23:41
i could just see strickland over there
23:41
with his hands over his ears you know
23:45
he wasn't ready for rock and roll
24:01
oh where the telephone was
24:01
it's your cousin
24:02
marvin marvin barry he's standing right
24:05
over in here i think he could see that
24:06
window behind him you can when the
24:08
camera is facing up there and in there
24:10
then we have the pictures on this wall
24:13
of oh up there can i walk up there sure
24:16
cool
24:34
yeah here's oh there's the telephone
24:34
look at that
24:50
all right just one last look here at the
24:50
little alcove area
24:52
so it looks like okay this was this
24:55
and then
24:56
so you can even see down here that that
24:58
did not have a top knob on it that's
25:00
like the original so the angle is almost
25:03
like this
25:05
and that is that so he was like right
25:07
down there
25:09
and he was like turn making his exit and
25:11
he turns around like
25:12
you know to make his last little
25:14
statement
25:16
pretty dang awesome
25:18
pretty dang
25:32
all right now
25:32
drove a block or two away over here on
25:34
the back side of the roosevelt hotel and
25:36
the chinese theater over there and we're
25:38
just gonna
25:39
leave the scooters and the bike in the
25:41
car just kind of walk walk around a
25:42
couple blocks we've done a lot today
25:43
already but we're going to walk around
25:44
hollywood bar for a minute all right in
25:46
all the years i've walked down the
25:48
hollywood walk of fame i never knew that
25:50
there was an award of excellence a
25:52
screen actors guild star
25:54
that says every actor is a star
25:58
so this is just kind of a roundabout
26:00
vague star that says every actor that
26:02
comes to hollywood in fact gets a star
26:06
because every actor is a star never knew
26:08
do you ever know that was there i've
26:09
never seen it yeah never seen that
26:11
before now over at the valet area at the
26:13
roosevelt hotel we didn't park in the
26:14
valet but we just kind of walked back
26:16
here there is a charlie chaplin
26:18
sculpture here and this we talked about
26:21
rocky iii you're trying to find the
26:23

27:40
two that's right and you see the
27:41
building in the background when she gets
27:43
out of the limousines right here and
27:44
then they walk straight into this
27:45
building and i watched the movie and
27:47
didn't really match up inside so it
27:49
might be only the exterior shots in the
27:51
old max factor building now the
27:53
hollywood museum adjacent to mel's diner
27:56
and over here they have the
27:58

28:18
appetizer and then
28:20
we both got me and german and venice
28:23

28:25
salad
28:26

28:33
charlie chaplin on the backside of the
28:34
hollywood wax museum
28:36
there's chaplin
28:37
and then also tucked away back there
28:43
marilyn elvis
28:43
john wayne now while we're in the area i
28:45
walked over here to the hollywood
28:46
heritage museum
28:48
also known as the alaska demille barn
28:50
cecil b demille used this for the first
28:52
ever movie filmed in hollywood the first
28:56
that's a pretty big deal the first movie
28:57
ever filmed in hollywood kind of
28:59
starting at long running tradition
29:01
cecil b demille utilized this very
29:04
structure which used to sit down vine
29:06
street aways where trader joe's is now
29:09
kind of between sunset and hollywood
29:12
there's some information out here and
29:13
there's a lot of photos of demille and
29:15
all the cast of the squad man i believe
29:17
it was called the first movie in front
29:19
of this barn at its other locations kind
29:21
of the birth of paramount studios
29:23
in a lot of ways and there's like some
29:25
information here in fact it even says
29:28
paramount studio gymnasium so kind of
29:31
hard to see
29:32
but right there it says paramount
29:33
studios gymnasium and look at this
29:37
cecil b demille standing right there in
29:39
front of this very door and this
29:41
staircase
29:42
below the barn and there's another one
29:44
over here barn of the paramount lot
29:45
became a gem in 1928. so that photo of
29:48
cecil b demille right there
29:53
right in front of that very door this is
29:53
the door
29:54
obviously moved a few blocks away
29:57
but cecil was standing right here
29:59
and this was the entrance into the gym
30:01
and that paramount gym
30:02
sign
30:03
was right up there and now around the
30:05
front section you can see what it looked
30:07
like the barn on the paramount lot
30:09
shortly after its arrival back in 1927
30:12
current day it has a wrap around porch
30:14
around it but you can see the front here
30:17
still looks precisely the same with the
30:18
small window
30:19
door and then another window right up
30:21
there and there is
30:23
that small window door in the other
30:25
window with the wrap around porch
30:28
added on and this right here says
30:30
hollywood's first major film company
30:32
i'm really not sure where this is now it
30:34
might be inside oh no
30:37
it's over here
30:47
one half of this structure then uses a
30:48
barn was written by cecil b mills the
30:50
