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

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

7:49
games going on we got some half-court

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

8:30
cool to think that Arnold himself is

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

8:54
I think it's beef and lamb casing it
8:59

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

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
11:18

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
