subject matter will be completely and
0:31
all about this gentleman a man I respect
0:34
with all my heart Mr Fred Rogers he put
0:39
his shoes on one at a time just like the
0:42
rest of us a guy who dedicated his
0:44
entire existence his whole life into
0:47
putting Good Vibes into the
0:57
world it's a very unusual statue I've
0:57
never seen one like that before the
0:59
artist who created it wanted to go for
1:01
something slightly different and I think
1:04
I think he accomplished his goal some
1:06
call this lumpy I call it unique when I
1:11
first approached this area I thought
1:12
there were a few people standing under
1:15
this Archway talking and then I realized
1:18
that was not the case they are actually
1:21
putting audio from his show and his
1:26
songs underneath this structure all day
1:31
and all night long and the closer you
1:34
get up to it when you walk directly
1:37
underneath the echo
1:46
listen after a while the Bears returned
1:46
from
1:47
their when they came inside speaking to
2:04
I can listen to him talk all day born in
2:04
1928 he passed away on February 27th
2:08
2003 Creator host writer composer and
2:11
Puppeteer he combined backgrounds in
2:14
music composition television production
2:16
the ministry and Child Development his
2:19
show aired for 5 years after his passing
2:24
and get that bird poop out of oh
2:27
that's that's gross I simply tried to
2:30
wipe away the dung that had desecrated
2:32
that placard now I got it all over got
2:34
it all over my hands I'm not sure if
2:35
this muddy water is any cleaner
2:44
but yeah a little bit better a little a
2:44
little bit better you got me you happy
2:47
now you got me
3:09
wait a second are those Pittsburgh
3:09
patunas the destination at hand is
3:13
across that bridge that's where I'm
3:16
heading wh wh wh
3:26
wh this thing was erected in
3:26
1928
3:28
impressive most impressive I didn't look
3:31
that up I read it right here on this
3:34
inscription if you look over my shoulder
3:36
you will notice not only pirate Stadium
3:39
but an incredible amount of locks that
3:43
have been placed along the railing it's
3:46
a tradition known as the love locks you
3:49
and your significant other place your
3:51
name right on the side of the lock
3:54
itself toss the key over into the Ravine
3:58
and your love will will never be
4:00
Unchained and if you can't afford you
4:03
can't afford a lock just take a sharpie
4:05
I guess and maybe just just scribble on
4:06
there it that works too arrive now at
4:09
the Hines History Center and according
4:12
to this Banner it is the smithsonian's
4:14
home here in Pittsburgh and inside those
4:18
doors is what I want to Feast My Eyes
4:23
Upon there is a lot to see in this
4:26
Museum in keeping with the theming of
4:27
the Vlog however what I am most excited
4:31
about is on the fourth floor it was
4:33
rumored for a while and then later
4:36
confirmed and this just seals the deal
4:40
look at that the
4:43
neighborhood is straight
4:46
upstairs the
4:48
land of makeb
4:51
believe is in this structure
4:59
whatever you
5:01
do don't look
5:05
down I am very excited about this I
5:08
might honestly get
5:10
slightly choked up because I grew up
5:16
watching that
5:17
show and it's about to
5:24
happen it's right over there but before
5:24
we enter his neighborhood there are some
5:26
artistic Renditions of some of the local
5:29
areas is around this neck of the woods
5:32
it's kind of a nice segue all along the
5:35
walls before I I'm going to give you a
5:38
sneak peek just oh my gosh look at this
5:40
look what's over here if oh my gosh
5:44
this this is actually happening now
5:46
while it might not be completely
5:49
appropriate for a grown man to
5:52
cry please don't hold it against me if
5:55
that happens because what I am
5:58
now looking at is the actual
6:03
set from the
6:06
show this is where he walked out of
6:09
every
6:10
episode through that door walked down
6:14
those stairs sat on this exact bench
6:19
changed his shoes this is the closet
6:23
here where he always took out his
6:27
sweater oh my goodness
6:30
this is blowing my mind right now and
6:33
there's the smiles booklet as he is seen
6:37
holding in that episode there and Mr
6:40
mcf's bike it's right it's right there
6:44
as well as X the owl's printing press
6:48
and Harriet eow's
6:50
desk and the
6:54
trolley wow the little lion suit on the
6:57
left was Prince Tuesday's the puppet
7:00
that screen that was in the episode it's
7:03
incredible King Friday VI E's Castle
7:06
looks
7:07
exactly as it did
7:09
so so very long
7:12
ago there's the man himself up on the
7:24
ledge I can't even wrap my head around
7:24
what is happening right now he had a
7:26
love for puppetry and he did a lot of
7:29
the voices is on the show these
7:31
characters were all developed by him and
7:34
he had his hands up in those little sock
7:37
puppets doing the voices making people
7:39
happy this is the Great Oak tree that X
7:42
The Owl and Henrietta pussycat lived in
7:46
and you can even see where they would
7:48
peek their heads
7:49
out oh man it
7:53
is it is really a blessing that this
7:55
stuff still exists and anyone
8:00
can come look at it it's also pretty
8:02
neat to get this up close and personal
8:04
with the props the tree is made out of
8:07
papier-mâché and while it is still in
8:09
really good shape you can see some of
8:11
the bark is starting to slowly Chip Away
8:15
showing what lies underneath it's good
8:18
that it's inside and being preserved so
8:21
other people can enjoy it for many many
8:23
years to come when it comes to the world
8:26
of celebrities you would be hard pressed
8:28
to find a pure Soul anywhere than that
8:32
man in fact a lot of people have a dark
8:35
past and a lot of people draw a lot of
8:38
criticism hate from other people that's
8:42
a rarity when it comes to Mr Rogers
8:45
everyone like that guy seriously
8:48
everyone
9:21
I was talking to one of the gentlemen
9:21
who work here he was saying they
9:22
actually have some other stuff in
9:25
storage you wouldn't tell me what was
9:26
there but there's some other props
9:28
behind the scenes Maybe they release
9:29
more at some point
9:33
hopefully crossing my fingers and if
9:35
you're feeling so inclined you can bathe
9:37
with him that's that's soap right there
9:41
and they have a lot of other accessories
9:43
that you can purchase here in the gift
9:46
shop including if you're going to
9:47
freshen your breath why not do it with
9:51
some encouragements it's hard to even
9:53
put into words on how incredible that
9:56
was and it doesn't really Translate to
9:59
video very well because I spent two or
10:01
three hours just standing there not
10:04
filming even out of everything that I
10:06
showed I just stood there and soaked it
10:08
all in which I don't always do at every
10:11
spot I go to but in this case I made an
10:13
exception you just have to something
10:15
like that you have to you have to enjoy
10:17
the moment as well as film it document
10:20
it in your mind as well as on camera
10:23
down this alley is a picture on the wall
10:28
expressing that we need to help Bobo
10:31
Escape from Mr death Crossing back over
10:33
the bridge again because there's
10:34
something on this side of the river that
10:37
has a few more artifacts that I need to
10:40
check out this was the admission ticket
10:41
sticker from the first place I visited I
10:44
wonder if I'll get another sticker from
10:45
the next spot I'm about to go inside
10:48
here but check out what's in front of it
10:50
doesn't that remind you of the space pod
10:53
from the 80s movie The
10:57
Explorers kind of and side here they
11:00
have a multitude of pictures along the
11:04
walls and a little dining area and I'm
11:07
going to sit next to Fred Rogers and
11:10
enjoy my roast beef sandwich and two
11:13
micro Mountain Dews normally you don't
11:15
see 12 oz in a bottle that's usually a A
11:18
can type of thing and according to this
11:20
map anything that has a sweater is a
11:24
Rogers item there's only a couple things
11:26
throughout all the three or four floors
11:29
but I'm going to hunt him
11:42
down so good the first item I come to is
11:42
just up from the lobby and it is one of
11:45
the actual sweaters that he wore a
11:49
multitude of times on the show and a fun
11:53
fact about these sweaters his mother was
11:55
the one who actually knitted each and
11:59
every one of
12:02
them that is incredible that is his
12:06
actual sweater right there when you walk
12:09
across these lights they start to swing
12:13
back and
12:15
forth as exampled in the mirror that I
12:19
am pointing the camera at see how they
12:21
are swaying to and frow directly behind
12:24
me put ball here watch what happens okay
12:35
it's now inserting itself into the
12:35
wheel heading
12:38
upward I think I know what's going to
12:40
happen I think when it reaches the top
12:43
it's going to go into that
12:45
shoot wait for it wait for
12:48
it there it
12:50
goes this reminds me out of something
12:53
out of peewee's big adventure and there
12:55
it drops Bo oh oh
12:59
check that out that was cool and I was
13:01
completely not expecting this but they
13:05
have
13:06
ursul the
13:09
chanter from The Dark Crystal the Jim
13:14
Henson classic I love that movie this is
13:17
a prop screen used one of the big huge
13:21
puppets what the heck this actually
13:24
exists as well behind that piece of
13:28
glass I'm looking deep into the mystic's
13:31
eyes I never thought I'd be able to say
13:33
that I never thought I'd look into a
13:35
Mystic from the dark crystals
13:37
retinas this
13:44
close get your motor running head out on
13:44
the highway I'm riding this motorcycle
13:48
so stay out of my
13:51
way here are a pair of his sneakers that
13:54
he would change into on the
13:56
show I don't see a marking on what size
13:59
they are but I'm guessing probably 11 11
14:02
1/2 12 perhaps this collection of
14:05
pictures were all taken by a
14:06
photographer by the name of Lynn Johnson
14:09
and they show some candid views of his
14:11
personal life as well as some behind the
14:14
scenes on the show
14:18
itself up the stairs to the next floor
14:20
sits the final exhibit on this property
14:25
and it is a doozy
14:29
right over there I had at first given
14:31
some thought about not even stopping by
14:33
this particular Museum but I am
14:36
certainly glad that I did because these
14:39
items are
14:42
absolutely incredible
14:44
pieces of television history just
14:48
sitting here behind these plastic
15:09
and there he is X the owl tattered and
15:09
torn a North American hand puppet made
15:12
of plastic wood paint and felt who knew
15:16
that those particular products could
15:19
create so many emotions in the hearts of
15:23
children now
15:25
adults all over the world got a little
15:28
tongue tied in there I got to be honest
15:30
emotions were running deep as I saw
15:32
things that I remember from my childhood
15:34
that had an impact on my life that kind
15:36
of help mold your morals when you see
15:40
them decades later directly in front of
15:41
you so close in in fact that you could
15:43
reach out and almost touch them Mr
15:47
Rogers had a huge impact still does not
15:50
only on my personal life but also the
15:52
way I present entertainment now what I
15:55
am putting out into the world is not
15:57
necessarily geared towards children but
16:00
you can keep things at a
16:03
relatively
16:05
clean type of presentation and I've
16:07
always followed that I've always used
16:09
him as an example in a small way I Tred
16:12
to channel I think we should all try to
16:14
Channel A little bit of Fred Rogers when
16:16
it comes to that aspect many many times
16:20
people have asked me why don't you curse
16:21
why don't you use a lot of profanity in
16:23
your Vlogs I am an adult you know I like
16:26
adult oriented movies and things and the
16:29
occasional curse word will slip out of
16:30
my mind or slip into my mouth and my
16:33
dialect in my personal life as much as I
16:36
try not to but I keep these Vlogs I keep
16:39
these videos clean and the reason for
16:41
that is when someone is heavily offended
16:45
by profanity and
16:48
cursing they are always going to be
16:50
offended by it however and I've said
16:52
this in the past and I'm going to
16:53
reiterate it now because it totally ties
16:55
into this even the most
16:59
drunkard beer
17:01
swilling sailor pirate
17:06
Hooligans gnarly
17:09
tattooed
17:11
bearded
17:13
overweight biker in the
17:17
world loves Mr
17:19
Rogers who doesn't and his
17:23
content his content speaks for
17:25
itself so I try to model myself after
17:28
that I probably fail in a lot of ways
17:30
but Mr Rogers this Vlog goes out to
17:33
you Vlog over
