0:07 today's adventure brings us to the Santa
0:07 Monica Pier among other things but
0:11 starting off at the Santa Monica Pier
0:16 you can park on the boardwalk itself
0:20 welcome everyone Adam the whoo here the
0:23 goal today is to just throw them around
0:24 the premises basically a few mile
0:28 circumference up and down the shore and
0:32 I have joined by Cody all the way from
0:36 Florida his first time on this toast
0:39 you've never been to this particular
0:40 beach before I've never been here so
0:42 this is the first time for you and we're
0:44 just gonna see the sights the sounds
0:46 let's be honest the smells yeah
0:50 definitely the smells you see the sign
0:51 of this thing that's I mean I can smell
0:53 it it's on
0:58 short sniff you what's that
1:02 sniff you it appears as if they stopped
1:08 it near the tippy-top
1:09 it's very breezy today so the wind is
1:12 blowing what's holding us off to and fro
1:16 take a look at that a bird's eye a
1:21 little update on the construction of the
1:23 once decrepid overlook always fascinates
1:26 me because that shares the same name as
1:28 the place from the shining but looks
1:32 like they're converting it into a
1:34 Starbucks this is on the far end of the
1:36 pier on the ground level as we meander
1:39 down there's this little play area with
1:41 a dragon head you could just kind of dig
1:44 around in the sand but watch out for
1:46 that dragon head next to this working
1:48 payphone which you don't see too many of
1:50 those in this day and age is hot dog on
1:53 a stick this establishment opened here
1:55 in 1946 and it's a tradition that every
2:00 time I have someone visiting I bring
2:02 them down here and buy them eliminate
2:03 give it a sip
2:10 first thoughts such a pretty good
2:10 lemonade man it's not too tangy and it's
2:12 not too sweet it's actually pretty good
2:13 it's just it's just rice right I feel
2:16 like if I tried this I would probably
2:19 ripped my arms out of my sockets looks
2:22 like a lot of fun but I don't think he
2:26 could just jump on there right off the
2:29 bat and do it with the eloquence that
2:32 that gentleman has a little balancing
2:36 act going on here
2:38 he's walking the tightrope Wow
2:43 that's pretty difficult to do now he's
2:49 got one leg ties back to two feet look
2:53 he's turning towards me okay he's doing
2:57 like a dance of some sort oh oh he's
3:01 turning oh my god he went
3:06 there's one game going on here and then
3:06 another one will farther across the
3:09 parking lot where they're shooting it
3:11 into a metal bucket all right they're
3:14 going in coming in hot
3:17 up intercept it I'm reminded of the
3:21 scene from Top Gun
3:23 watching these volleyball players I
3:25 don't think I've ever seen this many
3:27 nets in one proximity at any point in my
3:32 life up there volley still so who's
3:35 gonna spike it up nailed it
3:38 there's like probably 50 or more Nets
3:41 all along the shore one thing I like
3:44 about this area is how much there is to
3:46 do that really doesn't cost anything you
3:49 know other than transportation to get
3:50 here if you have a bicycle you can just
3:53 go up and down the bike path or climb
3:55 around on that pirate ship that's next
3:58 to it and this exists all up and down
4:01 the beach
4:07 one just zipping along oh there goes a
4:07 tandem bike up to tandem bikes and these
4:11 little scooters have become very very
4:13 popular you rent those I think by the
4:15 minute or the half-hour however there is
4:18 a sign posted that they do not take
4:22 kindly to riding those scooters why are
4:25 you being a turd checkoff I am a jerk I
4:31 don't care about the local community
4:33 check mommy still cleans up after me it
4:38 is it is definitely frowned upon to ride
4:42 an electric scooter it must be hard to
4:44 stop though guess everyone's got him to
4:52 Venice Beach always liked the mural on
4:55 the side of this building and I never
4:57 noticed till now just off to the left
5:00 there's also one of Jim Morrison down
5:03 there and Marilyn Monroe never walked
5:06 down this path before so this is
5:09 something new for me wonder how long
5:11 these have been have been painted here I
5:15 like it
5:40 you guys are fishing for hugs oh I
5:40 thought I said I was gonna give you a
5:41 hug but I don't I can't I can't help you
5:44 out I can't help you out you want to
5:46 give me a give me a hug yeah oh you have
5:48 to Santa the umbrella give me the hug I
5:50 do love a good mural I'm thinking this
5:53 one was placed here on porpoise this is
5:57 a slice of pizza with the face he's just
6:01 a happy guy now this work of art is not
6:05 quite as popular as this one which is
6:08 very familiar to most a lot of
6:11 creativity get some bones here that
6:14 makes them some shrinkage that you would
6:16 hang from your porch these are very
6:18 interesting too they're just kind of
6:19 swinging around in the breeze what this
6:23 was $1,250 made it to the skate park
6:39 maybe we'll see somebody do a really
6:39 cool trick incoming incoming OOP you
6:47 lost it Oh
6:50 like I just fell slid down the side and
6:52 written on the ground spells out where
6:54 we're at
6:56 ven IC e the big be made out of metal
7:01 beams always reminds me of it's a mad
7:03 mad mad mad world where they were
7:05 looking for the treasure under the Big W
7:07 you have to wonder is there any treasure
7:10 under that big V what if anyone's got a
7:13 shovel ever never checked could be an
7:16 arrow an arrow pointing down for the
7:20 treasure did you bring a shovel come on
7:23 hands my feet do you dig with your feet
7:36 the valid point
7:36 can't forget about Wesley Snipes and
7:38 Woody Harrelson hanging out way up top
7:41 there see him
7:44 there they are oh nice shot quite a few
7:49 games going on we got some half-court
7:51 here
7:52 full court happening on the opposite end
7:55 ant hope that was a total air ball if he
8:00 wanted to work out at the world-famous
8:01 Muscle Beach a day pass is 10 bucks and
8:06 by doing so by stepping over there and
8:09 hitting the outdoor gym you could be
8:12 just like this guy that's right

8:30 cool to think that Arnold himself is
8:33 right here I'm feeling inspired
8:41 okay that's good all that working out
8:41 definitely built up an appetite
8:43 time for some chow this establishment
8:46 has been in this spot since 1979 I'm not
8:48 100% sure what's going on there though
8:50 what kind of dog is that chili cheese
8:52 don't come you know nice
8:54 I think it's beef and lamb casing it
8:59 does have a slightly different taste to
9:01 it this state's the world's greatest
9:04 sausage sandwich which they also sell
9:07 here this is like a hot dog
9:10 slash sausage mix oh we know that's good
9:22 and nothing this bird is having a field
9:22 day with the table scraps
9:24 in the little courtyard area where we
9:27 were sitting and eating has some hands
9:29 from the heavens latched onto some
9:32 hotdogs oh they mean business
9:38 Wow lessons they're good
9:52 it's online it's all free so what is
9:52 this information an extraterrestrial
9:54 visitation runner is aware
10:03 that's a pretty good photo-op setting up
10:06 that sign with the backdrop of the beach
10:08 sand and the water we're now riding in
10:11 style and a rickshaw of sorts so what
10:16 they call this a rickshaw in the old
10:18 world
10:19 over here petticoats pedicab I always
10:24 wonder if anyone by the name of Rick was
10:26 a rickshaw driver oh yeah Jurassic
10:37 rickshaw coming through have you ever
10:39 seen anyone get a ticket for riding
10:41 these scooters I see the signs
10:43 everywhere
10:44 do they have police out here stopping
10:46 people from riding these watch out I'll
10:51 give you a ticket we're almost back to
10:54 where we began the day see this wheel
10:57 over there coming through
11:17 look at these things they're in the way
11:17 they just Li just leave them everywhere

11:20 couple of them in the trash can ba he's
11:24 getting rid of it one B ever ridden one
11:26 of these before
11:27 inside this tunnel there there's some
11:31 sea life on the walls and the bike path
11:35 runs directly through here as well and
11:38 I'm also noticing that over there it's
11:40 made to look like a ship of some sort
11:43 you can see the little portholes someone
11:46 is
11:53 creating the proper ambiance making some
11:53 no oh look what I see I spy with my eye
11:57 one of those scooters basically the way
12:01 it works is you rent them go as far as
12:04 you want and then just drop them off at
12:06 any random spot so that's just gonna sit
12:09 there until the next person decides they
12:12 want to open up the app and rent that
12:14 particular scooter
