today's adventure brings us to North
0:02
Hollywood California across the street
0:05
from where I'm standing is the
0:06
establishment of Barris customs where
0:09
today they're having a garage sale of
0:13
sorts
0:14
welcome everyone Adam the whoo here
0:16
George Barris was the man responsible
0:19
for not only the Batmobile but also the
0:21
Munster koach
0:22
and also from national lampoon's
0:25
vacation the Queen family truckster
0:28
which I am a big fan of I just kind of
0:32
want to meander around the premises
0:34
hopefully get a view at some of the
0:36
vehicles that he created wait a second
0:39
hold on Cody man what are you doing here
0:47
I don't know really where I'm going with
0:48
this we planned this Kody is visiting
0:52
from Florida we should have probably
0:55
prepared a little bit better let's go
0:58
check this place out
1:00
join me see and Kody show you clearly we
1:04
were not the only ones with the same
1:07
idea there is a heck of a long line
1:12
that's already formulating everyone
1:15
wants the goods I can't blame them it's
1:18
gonna be some cool stuff in here appears
1:21
as if the end of the line is there that
1:23
gives the perspective of the length
1:26
however I can wander over here and take
1:30
a little bit better view of this male
1:34
vehicle with the emblem there you got
1:36
Uncle Sam and even this little
1:38
postmaster down there Oh next to that
1:41
unicycle that's mounted on the side says
1:44
zip code and around back is a cool old
1:48
US male designation right there at the
1:52
top of the vehicle not your typical
1:54
front seats of what you'd see on a
1:57
normal automobile it's basically just
2:00
two regular chairs like you'd see in an
2:04
old tiny kitchen
2:06
that's the driver's seat
2:13
pretty interesting lots of posters out
2:13
here under these little awnings to
2:15
protect from the Sun and there's even
2:18
some security and keeping everything in
2:22
order don't want anything to get unruly
2:24
with all these Batman fans oh and
2:27
there's a a banner up here the man
2:29
himself George Barris he passed away a
2:33
few years ago and they're selling off
2:35
some of his possessions in the truest
2:38
sense of the word it is a garage sale
2:41
because it's not in a yard like a lot of
2:43
self-proclaimed garage sales
2:45
it really is inside the garage even
2:49
though everyone's trying to stay as
2:51
close to the wall as possible to take
2:53
advantage of this little shaded area
2:55
it's about to get very sunny shortly as
2:58
I make my way a few feet forward there
3:00
is no hiding from this very heat
3:03
drenched Southern California rays of the
3:06
Sun unless I were to hide maybe in those
3:08
news vans
3:10
the cop that's probably frowned upon
3:17
people are already starting to load up
3:17
but if there's gonna be anything left
3:19
once I get in there
3:34
peeking in the window looks like that's
3:34
KITT from Knight Rider sitting in there
3:36
and then nice cool AC - look at the
3:40
inscription and the concrete there
3:41
there's his name and the a little closer
3:45
over there there's the there's the bat
3:48
emblem
3:50
right there in the pavement that needs
3:52
no introduction Denon and
4:02
and he has his guitar next to him that
4:02
cardboard cutout it's the back guitar
4:05
right there at his feet
4:13

4:46

10:08
like gosh coming through copper coming
10:11
through I used to have one of these for
10:13
my Star Wars figures but there's one for
10:14
a different franchise you can put all
10:16
your characters in there and and hold it
10:18
right by that handle at first I thought
10:21
this was an inflatable but it's a it's a
10:23
tent that you could climb inside that
10:26
thing that would be me right there that
10:32
would be you because you're taller than
10:33
I okay so that would be you
10:34
that'd be me inside there see nice
10:37
yep I see the I see the resemblance a
10:40
battle to the end some Rock'em Sock'em
10:42
they're not robots it's the penguin I
10:46
just now notice right there on the wall
10:48
as a is a very large photo of Liberace
10:51
as well as some old movie posters 1965
10:55
Sonny and Cher
10:57
Mustang we got the the vehicle from the
11:01
movie starring Warren Beatty Bonnie and
11:04
Clyde
11:05
super van over here something known as
11:09
the junkman this one from The Beverly
11:13
Hillbillies Oh even in the Steve Martin
11:17
movie the jerk
11:18
this belonged was created for John Wayne
11:24
just an incredible amount of history
11:28
Emilio Estevez there on the left not
11:30
repo man we got in Mad Max and then some
11:33
very old-school documentation all along
11:37
here just real quick like I'm gonna step
11:40
out of line I just want to show you I
11:42
want to show you the showroom I can't I
11:45
can't go any closer than this because
11:46
they haven't stanchion doff check those
11:49
out didn't realize that till now but
11:52
this gentleman's name is Steve he has it
11:56
tattooed
11:59
well I I'm guessing that's this night
12:01
I'm not a hundred percent sure either
12:02
way the Hulk has a Steve tattoo the
12:05
crowd has dissipated quite a bit from
12:07
the front of the building it's because
12:09
they're all indoors for good reason
12:11
because there's a lot of good stuff
12:13
inside there in fact I got a box full of
12:18
items right down here and picked up this
12:19
poster book with some cool 11 by 17
12:25
shots pretty nice as well as the cereal
12:30
which I will not be consuming it's just
12:33
you know it's just as like a something
12:35
to put on a shelf to look at it's got a
12:37
free bank that came with it
12:39
I also got some back to the future stuff
12:41
never seen this hardback so I had to
12:44
definitely grab that and speaking of
12:47
back to the future
12:48
all these here's another one that had
12:51
never laid eyes on before you do this
12:54
there it goes stunts done did it dunt
12:57
dunt John John trading cards this is
13:01
from Universal Studios this key chain so
13:06
that was a must and of course there's
13:09
another one and I have quite a few
13:13
DeLoreans but this one I never had in my
13:15
possession so until now I just think
13:18
it's so neat that down the back of the
13:20
alley behind the business is this mural
13:24
right here
13:27
directly below the road up above at the
13:31
end of this street there's a parking
13:34
cone there this parking spots reserved
13:37
put the map on me out as a good tie in
13:40
we're heading over to the Batcave now
13:43
where the original Batmobile pulled out
13:46
in the intro of every episode of the
13:48
original TV series whoa that guy's
13:51
driving like that man there it is a
13:54
little bit of a hike up here but not too
13:56
bad and do a walk-through of course they
14:02
had a bunch of makeshift foliage for the
14:06
television program it kind of pulled
14:08
back and the car careened basically
14:12
towards where we're walking he's going
14:14
in he's going into the darkness
14:26
they hightail it out of the back cave
14:30
this would have been the view they had
14:32
as they drove straight out and then they
14:36
took a sharp left and down that hill and
14:40
the show began been out here a few times
14:43
before it's always quite the experience
14:46
I think that's like a smiley face yeah
14:49
there's the mouth and the eyeballs right
14:53
there nailed it this would be the less
14:58
photographed side the cave empties and
15:02
two sections this one and then the
15:04
opposite area and I'm also noticing
15:08
someone devoted a heck of a long time to
15:11
creating this labyrinth it's not a maze
15:14
the difference between a maze and a
15:16
labyrinth is a maze has different
15:19
possible ways to go through where a
15:21
labyrinth you go from point A to point B
15:24
so I'm pretty sure this would be
15:26
considered a labyrinth so if you left
15:30
over one of these walls and followed it
15:33
around eventually you would make it to
15:37
the center gonna give a little walk
15:40
through here just so you kind of get the
15:42
depth and length of the cave itself we
15:47
were just out in that area just to the
15:50
right where that labyrinth was now we're
15:54
heading back in the back area it's
15:57
really really cool in here are there
15:59
formations all along the ceiling and the
16:03
sides and a lot of hikers come out here
16:06
it is open to the general public and if
16:10
you take a sharp right you will see
16:13
another section the Sun kind of
16:16
protruding through making my way back
16:18
out the front the mouth of the cave if
16:23
you will oh yeah a nice shot of the Sun
16:26
gleaming down adds the proper ambience
16:46
that's gonna do it for today if you're
16:46
new here please subscribe by doing so it
16:49
helps keep you in the loop and update on
16:50

18:04
afraid whoa you're jumpy yeah
