0:53
photos I have from that talk about some
0:55

1:06
Bobby Boucher
1:07
I'm just calling it that we could just
1:10
go with that was that on the soundtrack
1:11
maybe it could be it should be a song
1:13
The Ballad of Bobby Boucher
1:15
we're starting here first right off of
1:18
Lake Louisa I think Lake Louisa there's
1:22
this Little River
1:24
of some sort well it's not a river it's
1:26
a swamp
1:28
but this is where Mama's house was
1:30
and where Bobby Boucher lived so we're
1:33
going to start here and this will all be
1:35
filmed in no order whatsoever
1:36
chronologically to the film
1:38
just we're going to cover some ground
1:41
all right I'm inviting you to join me
1:42
and world of Micah for The Waterboy
1:44
locations shall you
1:48
hi what's that's high quality H2O
1:51
it's cold
1:52
and it's clean or like this I think this
1:55
might be the intro scene when the credit
1:58
sequence shows before it pans over to
2:00
the football stadium
2:02
or we're gonna walk over there a couple
2:03
interesting facts here this is from the
2:05
lake Sentinel from February 2nd of 98.
2:09
from what I heard only took about three
2:10
or four weeks to film the entire movie
2:12
but this gives some Clues on the first
2:14
location
2:15
so it says Claremont there the corner
2:18
well not the corner but the between Lake
2:21
Susan and Lake Louisa that's how you
2:23
pronounce it it was also a Disney movie
2:24
Touch Tone pictures but this show is
2:26
right here on the palatkaha
2:30
River Park
2:33
it says here that it was tightly closed
2:35
up but people here off of whole rows we
2:37
found whole Road
2:38
would show up and Sandler was signing
2:41
autographs and whatnot where mama's
2:44
house
2:44
was built
2:46
right
2:48
over there let's take a walk and this
2:50
little dock over here has come like well
2:52
not completely but kind of submerged in
2:54
water
2:55
over here now this is the back side of
2:58
that tree
3:00
where
3:02
they were grilling up over here Sandler
3:04
and Kathy Bates were doing a little
3:06
grilling there they got a little
3:08
you know Kathy got in an argument with
3:10
furuza balk who played Vicki valencourt
3:13
and they walked over here and Mama's
3:15
house but it basically been built right
3:17
over here in this area
3:19
for an example here here's this
3:21
photograph from the film
3:23
so you can see over here's the picnic
3:25
table and there is this very unique tree
3:27
here and the house mama's house was
3:29
built on the other side of that very
3:32
unique tree which at the moment is
3:34
silhouetted out by the Sun
3:36
but the tree still stands definitely has
3:39
the same Limbs and everything there
3:42
is no confusion that this was the spot
3:46
where Mama's House was built
3:48
and just to the side of the tree is
3:50
where the dock and the Airboat was so
3:54
the dock would have been here
3:56
just about in this area you see it's all
3:58
overgrown now so there was like a fake
4:01
dock they built you can even see a piece
4:03
of Woody well that's like a piece of
4:04
lumber there I know that actually is
4:06
part of a tree
4:07
and then right over in here
4:09
was where the Airboat was
4:12
more or less like this
4:15
that scene at the end where
4:17
they jump on I think he says you ready
4:19
lady I'm ready lady something like that
4:21
and then the Airboat takes off here's
4:23
another angle here of
4:25
Adam Sandler Kathy Bates Bobby Boucher
4:27
and his mom mama in front of that tree
4:36
both of them standing right about there
4:36
give or take
4:37
now the house itself which is
4:39
interesting
4:40
would have been kind of over here
4:43
like just over in that section there
4:46
so just off to the side like this behind
4:50
this behind this tree I'm gonna try to
4:52
walk over this little water here and go
4:54
out on the
4:55
the edge of this Dock and see if I can
4:57
match anything looking back the other
4:59
way so they would have built another
5:00
Bridge
5:02
probably was not this one but they built
5:04
another one that he rode the lawnmower
5:05
across here
5:08
looking back at where the house would
5:10
have been over in here so the camera
5:11
would have been set up on the other side
5:13
of this little Waterway looking back
5:15
kind of where I'm standing now where the
5:17
house would have been built you can kind
5:19
of sort of match the trees up but you
5:20
know it's kind of tough there's just so
5:22
many like cypress trees I can't say for
5:25
certain
5:26
but it almost looks like this cypress
5:27
tree here with a very thick base is the
5:30
one that's right in front of us looking
5:32
back at the shoreline I think the water
5:35
was way lower than than it is now too
5:37
because where we are at is kind of where
5:40
the house would have been and it's
5:41
submerged in water now so obviously I
5:43
think the water's a little higher but I
5:45
think
5:45
don't quote me on this but I think that
5:47
might be the tree looking back kind of
5:49
that direction
5:51
and they could have also built this up
5:52
just a little bit Yeah like you were
5:54
saying they may have like
5:55
built the dirt up just a little bit Yeah
5:57
to make it more sound
6:00
more solid yeah but more or less you
6:03
could see a lot of these similar trees
6:05
over here and then the house would have
6:06
been kind of like over in this area but
6:08
the tree is the giveaway for sure
6:12
and obviously I found a lot of
6:14
a lot of old newspaper articles and
6:16
things like that giving away the spots
6:18
but I also found someone who's out here
6:19
recently mcandrew travels
6:22
stumbled on their video and they also
6:25
found the tree so shout out to them
6:32
that's how I knew the tree was still in
6:32
existence
6:38
yeah right here this is where Vicki
6:38
valencourt was and she was like
6:40
chewing down on the gator eating the
6:43
bite in the head off the alligator yeah
6:45
man
6:46
and the little dock they ran up on and
6:49
the
6:50
and the Airboat
6:57
yeah it's really hard to match a lot of
6:57
this up and I also believe the Interiors
6:59
for Mama's House were probably on a
7:01
soundstage also fun fact even though
7:04
they couldn't use MGM Studios it was the
7:06
from what I was reading it was the first
7:08
Disney Touchstone movie that utilized
7:11
Universal Studios Florida not Hollywood
7:13
for some of the Interior shots they
7:15
build a set so I think when
7:18
when Henry Winkler shows off his Royal
7:21
Orbison tattoo that was not in Mama's
7:23
house here it was probably at Universal
7:25
Studios
7:28
don't
7:29
hurt her
7:31
yeah definitely very tough to match a
7:33
lot of this up over all these years
7:38
water stuff's difficult changes
7:38
definitely yeah
7:44
pretty darn cool though yeah dude this
7:44
is sacred I mean the tree the tree is
7:46
the giveaway it is
7:48
pretty dang neat I'm also wearing an
7:49
appropriate t-shirt this isn't The
7:51
Waterboy but it's also an out you know I
7:53
like how old Adam Sandler movies so
7:56
wearing an appropriate t-shirt is Billy
7:58
Madison if you didn't know here's
7:59
another article how I was talking about
8:00
Universal Florida Universal Orlando
8:03
versus MGM
8:05
so it says all those Touchstone was part
8:07
of the Disney organization principal
8:09
scenes of The Waterboy are being shot at
8:10
rival Universal Studios in Orlando the
8:13
reason is another Disney filmed instinct
8:16
starring Anthony Hopkins is currently
8:17
taking up both sound stages at the
8:19
studios and a completely different news
8:21
article saying Studio switch Disney
8:24
produce feature Waterboy shooting
8:25
University of Florida Adam Sandler flick
8:28
will be the first Disney filmed to be
8:30
shot at a rival theme park even though
8:32
it was released touchdown
8:34
pretty fascinating a little history
8:35
little uh Studio switch history here in
8:38
Florida we have made the commute over to
8:40
Saint Cloud now about an hour from where
8:42
we just were and I'm showing the water
8:43
tower here because I wanted to point out
8:46
the church I used to go to my dad used
8:48
to preach at this church over here which
8:49
was first Christian
8:51
and I was recollecting in my mind we
8:53
also lived in the parsonage which is
8:55
behind the church but I was remembering
8:57
on a Sunday
8:59
because after
9:00
Church my sister said hey there's a
9:03
rumor that Adam Sandler is downtown
9:06
and downtown Saint Cloud is that way
9:09
about two blocks
9:10
so after church walked over to see them
9:14
filming at the hunter Arms Hotel
9:18
the party scene
9:20
but I just wanted to show here and I
9:21
looked up a newspaper article and in
9:23
fact was on a Sunday after church and I
9:26
guess my memory is still okay because it
9:28
I it states here that it was a Sunday a
9:31
downtown business will be the site
9:32
Sunday
9:33
filming for a movie it was a one day
9:36
experience from 7 A.M to 7 P.M I didn't
9:39
get over there till probably around 11
9:41
30.
9:42
or noon
9:44
so I got to sound like Kathy Bates and
9:46
Henry Winkler in fact I met Henry
9:48
Winkler
9:49
down there by the hunter arms I'll show
9:50
all that when we get over there yep I
9:52
still remember walking down here just a
9:54
couple blocks away going around the back
9:55
alley which is over that way and seeing
9:58
a lot of the cast of The Crew walking in
10:00
and out of there now for a while you
10:01
couldn't get inside this building it was
10:03
Apartments but now it's back to being a
10:05
hotel last time I was down here we were
10:07
able to walk in so I'm hoping we get to
10:08
get to walk in there and match some of
10:10
the stuff up from the party scene where
10:11
Colonel Sanders comes down the stairs
10:12
and
10:13
and all that coach Klein's talking about
10:15
how they need to win more games now they
10:17
won their first game but should have a
10:19
little make it a little easier winning
10:21
games now that they won their first game
10:22
all right here's another article St
10:24
Cloud bread and breakfast becomes frat
10:26
house for Disney film when you think of
10:28
water boy you really don't think of it
10:29
being a Disney film but it is just
10:30
wanted to show another one here located
10:33
the address 1025 New York Avenue in the
10:36
movie
10:37
producers decided that Hunter arms would
10:38
be a perfect place to film a college
10:40
frat party it's also kind of interesting
10:43
because Fairuza Balk was here
10:45
who played Vicki valencourt but I do not
10:48
recall her being in a scene that took
10:51
place inside the party itself Henry
10:54
Winkler did have a scene in fact Henry
10:56
Winkler was walking over here I met
10:58
Henry over here and he was very nice to
10:59
all the the locals here in Saint Cloud
11:01
and took pictures with everyone just
11:03
kind of standing right in here so that
11:05
was pretty
11:06
that was pretty awesome
11:11
I think Micah has found something you
11:11
find it
11:16
so you're looking for the scene when
11:16
Adam Sandler shows up with the the frog
11:19
legs and the in the cakes or whatever it
11:21
was
11:22
the door well there's an overhang over
11:25
here that could be seen right above
11:27
Sanders Micah just discovered
11:29
that that is the overhang in fact that
11:31
little metal
11:32
the little metal pieces there can be
11:34
seen when the door opens the football
11:36
players see Sandler coming in
11:39
yeah that's that's it yeah and that tree
11:41
was there it's just smaller
11:43
good eye just to show what it looked
11:46
like there so over Sander's head
11:48
there is that little metal rod holding
11:50
up the awning right there
11:53
that's so cool I like this kind of
11:55
vintage looking sign this sign was
11:57
probably here back in early 98 so they
11:59
filmed it in early 98 and the movie came
12:02
out in late 98 so filmed and released in
12:05
the same year and the movie made a lot
12:07
more money
12:08
in the theaters than it took to Mike so
12:10
it was considered a success now on this
12:12
particular day even though I walked down
12:13
here I had to I was working at Publix
12:15
then I had to be at work at 2 p.m so I
12:17
was not able to wait around obviously
12:19
couldn't get inside because they were
12:20
filming
12:21
but my sister was able to meet Adam
12:22
Sandler in that back alley
12:24
also more to this story I was also an
12:27
extra at the Citrus Bowl
12:32
but this was the first time I had even
12:32
heard of the movie I did not know what
12:34
the water boy was until I showed up that
12:35
day and my sister told me that Adam
12:37
Sandler was down here filming a new
12:39
interesting email
12:41
it's pretty neat all these years that
12:42
I've been in the hunter arms I didn't
12:44
realize if you just stepped out this
12:45
door where's that little
12:52
that little metal awning there yeah
12:52
which means he would have took the Frog
12:54
cakes and walked right in where the the
12:56
old doors were right here
12:58
and inside and once you get inside you
13:01
can kind of match up the a couple
13:03
different areas you can match up a
13:04
fireplace which when he has the Frog
13:07
cakes yeah the the guy who has like the
13:09
cross eye he's like standing in front of
13:11
the fireplace but you don't you don't
13:12
really see it too much but the fireplace
13:14
does match up even those a lot of people
13:15
dancing the extras are dancing but you
13:17
can kind of sort of match up the
13:18
fireplace is still the same and then the
13:20
Colonel Sanders
13:21
look alike the teacher comes down the
13:24
stairs and Sandler kind of has an
13:26
interaction and asks if they're still
13:27
going to have the test and all that
13:28
coming up the follow in the following
13:30
following days or week and then also
13:32
where the two girls are hitting on them
13:34
I wish you were my boyfriend
13:36
that was like directly across from
13:39
the staircase that Colonel Sanders came
13:41
down and a couple things in here have
13:43
changed a little bit too where Henry
13:45
Winkler is talking
13:47
was in an area that's like doesn't
13:49
really look the same anymore but he was
13:51
sitting up against kind of a little a
13:53
little doorway entering in sitting
13:55
around with the other the other guys on
13:56
the football team
13:57
yeah they were all excited to win their
13:59
very very first game
14:09
where they put out a
14:09
call basically for 10 000 extras and
14:12
myself a friend that I worked with at
14:13
Kmart and my sister the three of us
14:16
attended I think I worked all overnight
14:18
that night got up early and showed up
14:20
here to the Citrus Bowl I don't think 10
14:23
000 people showed up I think it was
14:24
probably more like four or five thousand
14:26
and they basically just moved us around
14:28
the stadium so different angles could
14:30
make it look like the stadium was full
14:33
but you could see me pretty noticeably a
14:36
younger thinner and blonde-haired
14:39
version of myself in the stands
14:42
inside this very Stadium for the bourbon
14:45
bowl that took place in here in fact
14:46
these are two photos I took with a
14:48
handheld disposable camera from that day
14:52
in fact you can see Adam Sandler Here
14:54
not in his wardrobe but he's throwing up
14:57
free t-shirts to those in the crowd the
15:00
extras there's Sandler right there so my
15:03
seats were basically at the end zone
15:04
where the the climactic ending took
15:08
place
15:10
and also where
15:12
Sandler and
15:14
the rest of the team ran out and is you
15:18
know runs out at the beginning of the
15:19
bourbon Bowl after halftime
15:21
so these are two photos that I have I
15:22
didn't have any photos of myself in the
15:24
stands but I will show some from some
15:26
clips from the movie or some screen
15:28
grabs from the movie now in most the
15:30
scenes where I am visible I am kind of
15:33
two or three rows back from all these
15:34
guys over here that have the body paint
15:36
on and holding up the signage
15:38
and I am here so my sister's here
15:40
wearing a blue shirt I am wearing like a
15:43
maroon sleeved shirt
15:46
that has a kind of a white torso but
15:48
check me out with the blonde hair there
15:50
here's a little closer angle that is me
15:52
my sister's laughing and that is me
15:55
with the blonde very lengthy blonde tips
15:58
like I said a much thinner younger meat
16:00
now when they run out of the
16:02
the little side over here so there's
16:04
Henry Winkler and the mascot when
16:05
Sandler comes out and time to open up a
16:08
can of whoop ass I am up here next to a
16:12
sign over here I think it says get it
16:15
done or something like that but I am
16:17
right there in the middle of the screen
16:18
the way to really see is kind of the
16:20
blonde tips and the maroon
16:24
so like the maroon
16:26
color Style on the the sleeves to just
16:30
keep an eye out for that get it done
16:31
signage
16:32
so right over Adam Sandler's shoulder
16:36
right there's me right there kind of
16:37
like faintly seen with my hands up
16:40
then immediately after they do the dog
16:42
pile
16:43
right on the on the field you can see my
16:45
anger face here see me right there like
16:48
flailing my arm around
16:50
right there in the middle that's like
16:51
after the dog pile they said they told
16:53
all the extras act angry so I acted
16:56
angry there's me right there see me like
16:57
flailing looks like I'm throwing my
16:59
Pom-Pom at the
17:02
but it's been so long ago that was early
17:05
1998.
17:08
do you remember at halftime when Bobby
17:09
Boucher showed up and the mud dogs won
17:12
the bourbon Bowl do you I wasn't
17:15
expecting it but I guess they are having
17:16
an event in here today and we just
17:18
walked in so we're just walking in we're
17:20
gonna walk in over here and once inside
17:22
it definitely looks a lot different than
17:24
did back then they've actually kind of
17:26
added more seats and whatnot onto it but
17:28
this is definitely the same stadium well
17:30
obviously it is because I was here and
17:32
it's confirmed but the area that they
17:34
ran out of it's like a little kind of a
17:37
little alcove area that goes from the
17:39
dressing room out still kind of looks
17:40
the same and I was sitting over in that
17:42
area that's also where Bobby Boucher got
17:44
the second to last touchdown when he
17:46
picked up the fumble and ran it
17:48
all that
17:50
was kind of over in that corner and I
17:51
was sitting like second or third row up
17:53
I'll try to find I'll try to find the
17:55
actual set section I have a sit again
18:02
and I feel if we walk this way around
18:02
the back other side of the stadium be
18:04
able to show the exact tunnel that the
18:06
entire mud dogs team ran out of onto the
18:09
field
18:11
oh so long ago now as stated has
18:13
certainly been remodeled quite a bit
18:15
since
18:16
1998. this is kind of the same general
18:19
area of where I was sitting and I also
18:22
showing the photos of where Sandler and
18:24
the cast and crew and everything was
18:25
gonna throw out the t-shirts was right
18:27
over here with the 10 yard line and the
18:29
and the area the The End Zone and all
18:31
that and also kind of where a lot of the
18:35
main scenes took place I think most of
18:36
us were the extras were kind of crammed
18:37
in this one corner for for a majority of
18:40
it they're actually doing a Pop Warner
18:42
Super Bowl here right now so we were
18:44
able to walk in and see the stadium
18:46
because normally you can't get it here
18:48
unless it's a big event and they have
18:49
the stadium in this fashion pretty
18:51
awesome to be able to see this also the
18:54
other side of the End Zone from where I
18:56
was sitting is where the last touchdown
18:58
but as pointed out this is where at the
19:00
beginning they all ran out I was sitting
19:02
over here
19:04
they all ran out here Adam Sandler ran
19:07
out to there time to hope it was a time
19:09
to open up a mesmerized by the game
19:11
you're like completely versatile is not
19:13
for the devil Micah pointed out too they
19:15
kind of like I don't know if they CGI
19:16
them but all the extras were not up in
19:18
here so they duplicated a lot of us that
19:21
were here and into this whole top area
19:24
here now this over here was all added on
19:27
years later this CBS to be able to see
19:28
out or maybe this used to be able to see
19:30
out I think all this was added on later
19:32
and it's interesting the section I was
19:34
sitting in was one two six or one two
19:37
seven so it seems like the sections are
19:40
too off of what they were before and I
19:43
believe all this was built on later
19:45
since 98 as well
19:48
we did not think we were going to get in
19:50
here you and I were like there's no way
19:52
we're gonna get in there but we're in
19:53
here look at look at this Micah I know
19:55
here stand over here
19:57
the bourbon Bowl you know what foosball
19:59
is right
20:02
Bobby
20:04
foosballs for the devil
20:07
Kathy Bates thinks everything is
20:10
electricity Ben Franklin is the devil
20:17
all right let's move on to the next spot
20:17
this was awesome to be able to get in
20:18
here chalk that one up to something I
20:20
did not think was going to happen today
20:22
on a Wednesday getting inside the Citrus
20:24
Bowl all right moving on to the next
20:25
spot
20:26
that worked out pretty well I also
20:28
wanted to show this article that I found
20:30
talking about the 10 000 people
20:32
who are trying to gather 10 000 people
20:34
afford a citrible Citrus Bowl to help
20:35
film key scenes with a comedy
20:39
Adam Sandler Waterboy Henry Winkler free
20:41
tickets were given away free tickets for
20:43
the 8 A.M to 4 30 p.m so I guess I was
20:46
in there eight and a half hours
20:48
at the stadium and also they were
20:50
accepting bins of food for a tornado
20:53
there was a tornado that came through so
20:54
they were getting relief for a for a
20:55
tornado so even though it was free
20:57
obviously you know getting 10 000 people
20:59
in there needed it to be free and then
21:01
also here's another one in a different
21:03
newspaper Waterboy actually ten thousand
21:05
extras I'm gonna say maybe a third of
21:07
that really showed up
21:09
between 10 and 4. Florida Citrus Bowl
21:12
before it was Camping World Stadium
21:14
Tampa Avenue and West South Street in
21:16
Orlando have made the commute over to
21:18
Michigan Street and located at 35 West
21:22
Michigan Street is this Credit Union
21:25
which used to be a seafood place
21:28
the wrap party
21:30
for the movie itself took place in here
21:32
over 400 guests it's a seafood place by
21:35
the name of townsends
21:37
and I found a couple articles online
21:39
about it
21:40
it was it was quite a shin dig inside of
21:43
here and the interesting thing is
21:45
looks like the building has been torn
21:47
down but I've typed in the coordinates
21:48
right here at 35 West Michigan Street in
21:51
Orlando
21:52
now there's a bank sitting here
21:55
but they publicized the wrap party
21:56
anybody could have showed up as stated
21:59
here if you haven't seen Adam Sandler
22:01
around town tonight might be your last
22:03
chance Wedding Singer star wrap party
22:05
you know for The Waterboy slated for 8
22:07
P.M to midnight four hours you could
22:09
come up here and met Adam Sandler when
22:11
he walks out the restaurant will be shut
22:13
down for dining so you might not be able
22:16
to get in according to this article but
22:18
you can catch a glimpse of Sandler when
22:20
he gets there or leaves who knows if he
22:24
sings as expected Sandler might even
22:26
belt out some tunes maybe he'll be loud
22:29
enough to be heard from outside
22:30
another article says all eyes on model
22:34
guests this is after the party 400 cast
22:37
and crew members of the movie were
22:38
decked out of the wrap party Sunday at
22:41
towns's restaurant in Orlando which
22:42
closed what year they closed 20 years
22:44
ago so in 2000s it's been closer 22
22:47
years
22:48
Tyra Banks was also here who showed up
22:51
with several stunning girlfriends to ask
22:54
the knight in platform shoes and Skin
22:56
Tight super short silver dress
22:59
this is a real article I'm reading
23:02
happened right over there at townsends
23:04
seafood place
23:06
it's amazing what you can find in
23:07
newspaper articles there's no parking
23:08
here by the way there's no parking all
23:10
that time this is Lake Susanna
23:14
where there used to be a navy base
23:16
right over in here now there's some
23:18
apartments and condos
23:20
and whatnot but back in the day there
23:23
were a lot of empty kind of desolate
23:25
buildings through here and one of the
23:28
buildings was
23:30
here on the base
23:31
and not sure exactly where it was
23:33
looking at some old satellite images but
23:36
somewhere in this General vicinity was
23:38
the what they used the facade they used
23:41
for the hospital
23:43
where Bobby boucher's mom
23:47
was in the hospital and all the town
23:49
folk came out and were
23:51
you know given their uh
23:53
trying to get them hyped up to come back
23:55
and join the team
23:56
and that was all right in here and the
23:59
only reason I figured that out is I
24:00
found a newspaper article
24:02
and I saw an old photo of what the
24:04
hospital
24:05
looked like it was right right in this
24:08
general area give or take you know
24:09
somewhere in this acreage right here
24:12
so here is the hospital this was the
24:14
building here
24:16
and the way a lot of the buildings did
24:18
not look like this but this is the only
24:20
one on the property back though it's
24:21
been bulldozed that had that awning down
24:24
below and had the windows with that
24:26
style
24:28
right there
24:29
and Bobby was peeking out the window
24:32
above the awning there it is there's
24:36
that awning they put the Jackson Bayou
24:38
Hospital font across there there's
24:40
Sandler up in that window here's a
24:42
little top portion protruding off the
24:43
roof
24:44
set dressed was not a real hospital it
24:47
was just a building
24:49
and there's Bobby up in the window there
24:51
and as well there
24:54
pretty cool here's the article that kind
24:56
of gave me the hint so the wing of a
24:59
prison in the film Instinct was also the
25:02
same building but then it says and the
25:04
exterior of the hospital from the other
25:06
film
25:07
also
25:09
was in The Waterboy stated here also
25:12
scheduled to debut this fall is really a
25:15
base building
25:16
look at that
25:18
this article from the Orlando Sentinel
25:21
we have made another hour commute give
25:23
or take from the last place I should say
25:24
all these spots are really really spread
25:27
out around central Florida we're gonna
25:29
Nightfall is about to rear its head
25:35
so quite a bit of spots to go to but
25:35
this is the high Banks boat ramp in
25:38
Debary Florida and this is where the
25:40
scene where they have the pep rally was
25:42
right over in here
25:44
in fact
25:46
they had a huge Riverboat which can only
25:49
be seen for a brief moment which is I
25:50
always found kind of unusual that they
25:52
had a Riverboat parked over here and
25:55
after the pep rally they all started you
25:57
know kind of chanting and whatnot and
25:59
went and got on the Riverboat over here
26:02
but right in here was all the extras all
26:05
the the cast all the football team
26:12
all took place right in here secret
26:12
filming spot
26:14
for the water boy someone that was here
26:16
gave a quote to the newspaper saying I
26:19
thought there would be a lot more action
26:21
but you see it says DeBerry there and
26:25
they're talking about this this was
26:26
where it gives the specifics
26:28
of you know signifying this is here at
26:31
the Highlands Road public boat ramp
26:35
right here
26:37
this article goes on to talk about the
26:38
director Frank Karachi believe that's
26:41
how you pronounce it who I believe also
26:43
directed Wedding Singer and he was the
26:46
dad at the end that Kathy Bates tackles
26:48
at the wedding scene gathered a group of
26:50
extras around Schneider Rob Schneider On
26:53
Cue the actor shouted his lines an
26:55
exaggerated Cajun accent The Waterboy
26:57
cheats cut his head off like they
27:00
dropped it they drop one cut is you know
27:02
what at home a lot of this area has been
27:05
redone
27:06
looks a little bit different
27:08
but over there is where they read they
27:11
had the Jazz Band the team the mud dogs
27:13
ran out of the woods
27:15
right over here on this little area is
27:17
they were given the speech and all that
27:20
and then
27:22
the tour the other the other team bus
27:24
pulled in right here
27:26
right along here there's just like a ton
27:28
of people right over in this section
27:30
then after the pep rally they all ran
27:32
along here past this tree
27:35
and on to a dock that was probably in
27:37
the same place as the stock where the
27:39
big Riverboat was right here and of
27:41
course
27:43
one of the most famous lines from the
27:44
movie that has gone on to live on pretty
27:47
much forever
27:48
happened right here well actually
27:50
happened right over here
27:52
you can do it
27:55
you can do it you can do it oh yes we
27:57
can and yes we will
28:00
you can do it and then it gets more and
28:02
more and more exaggerated you can do it
28:05
all night long
28:11
so right here across the West so there's
28:13
the Riverboat over here to the side and
28:16
there's the crowd all there in the
28:17
little boat dock area but notice this
28:19
tree I think this is the same tree it's
28:21
just gotten a lot bigger where they all
28:23
go kind of go by it and then the
28:25
Riverboat kind of over there at that
28:27
angle but I think this tree is this tree
28:30
right over here there really is no way
28:31
of confirming it I mean this is it looks
28:33
like it 24 years of growth but it looks
28:35
like the same kind of limb pattern
28:38
and then kind of well this has been
28:40
redone you can kind of see it looks kind
28:42
of similar but I think there was like a
28:44
concrete
28:45
piece here that went over to where they
28:47
crossed over to the Riverboat but this
28:49
over here not that I'm saying it this
28:51
really does look the same
28:53
you know where the bus kind of pulled
28:54
out
29:01
man I don't even want to leave the spot
29:01
I just want to you can do it all night
29:02
long
29:04
you can do it oh no this is pretty neat
29:09
look at the skater look at this Gatorade
29:11
right here walking back over the car to
29:13
go to the next spot
29:27
all right on to the next spot I think we
29:27
got like two more to go what's up
29:30
you know thinking about how spread out
29:32
all these spots off
29:34
you might get a little discouraged
29:35
thinking you can't do it all in one day
29:37
but I keep telling myself
29:48
I was just saying like if anyone gets
29:50
discouraged they can't do all this in
29:51
one day I just said the same yeah you
29:53
said the same thing so what I'm telling
29:56
myself and you and anyone else that
29:58
wants to do this in one day yes you can
30:01
you can do it yes
30:04
yes you can and yes you will
30:09
I sound more like Arnold that's right
30:11
that's right you can do it you can do it
30:14
you can do it do it there all night long
30:19
I'm gonna go do it
30:22
carried on just a bit and now have
30:25
arrived over at spec Martin
30:29
Stadium
30:31
this was about 20 minutes from give or
30:34
take from the last place we were at
30:36
and this is where the football field was
30:38
not where they played the bourbon Bowl
30:39
but where they played all their other
30:41
games including the first game they won
30:43
this is here in Deland
30:45
Florida now obviously the stadium here
30:48
has been completely revamped and redone
30:50
in fact this big towering
30:52
object above the bleachers was not there
30:55
but this was basically the side where
30:57
they had the mud dogs logo and all that
31:01
hey I can't get in got lucky with the
31:04
Citrus Bowl but
31:05
this is all kind of closed off you just
31:07
kind of have to look at it from a
31:08
distance but pretty much the entire
31:10
thing down there
31:11
has been renovated
31:16
look at the tower off in the distance
31:16
you can see that
31:18
so you got the blinking Tower in the
31:19
distance you can see that in a couple
31:21
a couple of moments of the movie off in
31:23
the distance too also fun fact
31:25
where the coaches coach Klein's office
31:28
was was in this building
31:31
in the distance over there so that
31:33
building there at the end of the field
31:34
is where the Interiors from coach coach
31:37
Klein's office was which is directly
31:39
behind us we're pretty much doing a full
31:41
walk around the stadium here it doesn't
31:43
look like we're going to be able to get
31:44
in even if we could we wouldn't be able
31:46
to see too much inside there but
31:50
it's definitely the place reading
31:52
another article 900 extras are sought
31:54
for scenes
31:56
in the film
31:58
volunteer should report at Hubbard Ave
32:00
that's the Stadium's ticket office by 8
32:02
am on that day
32:03
in lieu of payment The Producers will
32:06
give extra lunches kind of reminds me of
32:08
Blazing Saddles when he hands out the
32:10
paddle balls give these out in lieu of
32:12
pay
32:13
that means no pay in order to see I have
32:16
my health my car cranked and the lights
32:17
on
32:18
but this building here where all the
32:20
Interiors of the hallway scenes when
32:22
Bobby goes to coach Klein's office and
32:25
Henry Winkler is watching the playback
32:27
tapes and all that and
32:28
Adam Sandler's character sees the
32:30
disgusting water and offers to be the
32:32
water boy for free if he just doesn't
32:35
serve those serve the easy imperative
32:38
that you allow me to be the team
32:42
but that was all right inside here
32:43
there's no access given to this even if
32:46
we were here during the day but if he
32:48
were to get in there you would see that
32:49
it all pretty much looks exactly the
32:50
same and can't really decide exactly
32:54
which of these which coastline's office
32:56
but it was in this very building which
32:58
is very very close to the stadium in
33:00
fact the stadium
33:02
is right over there so when it's
33:04
approaching with a light on a bicycle
33:07
here is the hallway scene
33:09
where he's walking down to go to the
33:11
office
33:12
and one more inside the office notice
33:15
the same green Walls as well
33:17
going from the hallway into the office
33:19
itself and that's all inside that
33:21
building
33:22
and now
33:24
on campus at Stetson
33:26
University
33:38
the medulla oblongata
33:38
kind of looks like the colonel he does
33:40
no Colonel Sanders you're wrong
33:44
Mama's right now this is not supposed to
33:46
be Colonel Sanders this is John B
33:47
Stetson who the school is named after in
33:51
the Interiors of the classroom scene
33:52
from the medulla oblong goddess scene
33:54
we're at a totally different place
33:56
however when Santa looks outside the
33:59
window and explains the reason why he
34:02
took the class
34:03
was for the view it is this very
34:06
fountain
34:08
right over here this is the fountain
34:10
that they show
34:39
as shown right here kind of like a
34:39
you know bird's eye out of the window
34:40
perspective looking down at that very
34:42
Fountain this next spot was a little
34:44
difficult to find we kind of walked all
34:46
over probably for about 20 or 30 minutes
34:48
before discovering
34:50
that the
34:52
Student Union building here
34:55
and the reason it was very confusing is
34:57
even on street view and recently this
35:00
used to be a road through here but they
35:02
have redone it now it's just a sidewalk
35:06
and a grassy area but this is where
35:09
Bobby and Vicky valencourt walked out
35:12
after Bobby passed his test
35:15
right inside here
35:17
looks exactly the same except the thing
35:19
that threw us off was where the officer
35:22
dries up and
35:23
lets him know that his mother is sick
35:25
and in the hospital
35:27
does not look anything like it did in
35:30
the film very recently
35:33
they changed all this Landscaping but
35:36
here is the front of the building same
35:37
stairwell leading down same pillars
35:40
doors have been changed
35:42
window up top has been changed
35:45
and there's there's them out front
35:47
she's like
35:48
welcome to your manhood and he had no
35:51
idea what she was referring to about how
35:52
she was gonna
35:54
show more of like what it meant to be a
35:57
man later on
35:58
or welcoming him to his manhood
36:01
these are the stairs they were kind of
36:03
like right down here standing and
36:05
they've replaced those doors
36:12
these were not the Interiors the
36:12
Interiors were like a basketball gym
36:14
where he took his test wow this looks so
36:17
different as shown here used to be a
36:20
street
36:21
that ran right up to the front
36:24
of this building
36:26
no more Road only walking traffic
36:29
right along here
36:35
this was a confusing one we walked
36:35
around here for a while because I was
36:37
telling them in my video if you get on
36:38
Google Earth is completely different
36:40
yeah street view of the street still
36:41
here yep never trust the internet when
36:44
our Maps were throwing us for a loop
36:45
yeah we found it though we did and the
36:47
Gym's around here somewhere it is we're
36:48
gonna go find it Cummings gym
36:55
where he takes the test was in a gym the
36:55
gym still exists
36:56
and Micah was noticing the windows still
37:00
match up with a very unique kind of
37:03
crossing of the beams up top there it's
37:07
a basketball gym
37:08
building right across there
37:24
I had no idea it was up on like the
37:24
second floor of this building there's
37:26
the cross windows up top
37:28
especially with the unique pattern when
37:29
you watch that clip back you got the two
37:31
regular style windows and then this
37:33
cross one at the top
37:35
just like in the movie it's on the
37:37
second floor of this building
37:38
the 536 building very difficult to see
37:41
but if you peek in the window
37:43
you can see the gym in there
37:45
can't really make out
37:48
the basketball hoop
37:51
but that's about the angle there
37:54
not 100 certain if it was the cameras
37:56
facing
37:57
where I'm standing or the other way like
37:59
facing now but
38:00
it's pretty awesome
38:02
I think this is the spot right here
38:04
because you can see this vent
38:07
on the bottom of that window next to the
38:09
door
38:10
and then there's some kind of mechanism
38:12
there okay
38:14
oh yeah
38:16
good call
38:22
Focus
38:22
yeah there is some sort of mechanism
38:24
there very interesting that could be it
38:31
gotta wonder which window Vicky was
38:31
holding the sign in I know right all
38:39
for today we covered a lot of
38:39
we did a lot of spots we started
38:43
gosh around 9 A.M 9 30 a.m this morning
38:46
at the first spot yep it is already
38:48
night profanity gets dark kind of early
38:50
yeah time is it it's not as lazy thing
38:52
it's 7 7 42. yeah it's a good day yeah
38:55
you can do most of spots or almost all
38:58
the spots in one day but it definitely
39:00
is a truck put some miles on the car
39:02
also check out world of Micah's version
39:04
he also filmed today gave his little
39:07
little tidbits opinions thoughts
39:09
critiques behind the scenes and
39:12
wonderful Concepts
39:15
of the film that both Tim and I have
39:17
seen probably more times than we should
39:19
have seen yeah and it was funny
39:21
re-watching to find all these things I
39:23
remember the whole movie so I knew
39:24
exactly where to fast forward to it's
39:26
crazy how things stay in your mind it is
39:28
high quality H2O behind us yeah I'll see
39:33
you in the next video the Vlog
39:36
is over
39:56
water stops
39:56
Gatorade is bad this is
40:02

40:05
an easy chance it can be done they're
40:08

40:10
patience but it's fun we did the hard
40:13

40:15
