Welcome everyone. Adam the woo here.
0:03
Just stepped outside of that door and I
0:06
am about to indulge. No, not in this
0:09
slushy goodness. I am trying a blueberry
0:11
thrill which has almond milk and almond
0:14
butter also inside. It's my second
0:16
channel, daily vlog channel. It's the
0:32
good. Nailed it. Fire who you [\h__\h]
0:32
bust. I'm off. Just ordered an Uber and
0:36
on our
0:37
way out of this area for now. We're
0:40
heading to the back side of Griffith
0:41
Park. Not the Hollywood sign side, but
0:45
the other the other angle to a place
0:48
called Travel Town that opened in
0:50
1952. A lot of history there. A lot of
0:52
old trains and television and movie
0:55
history. Should be fun. And while we're
0:57
on the subject of traveling, this would
0:59
be one way to do it. This old bug herby
1:02
style. There are some artifacts from
1:04
Northern California, San
1:07
Francisco to be
1:09
exact. I've always loved this old rail
1:12
car. After reading the information on
1:14
the sign, the first cable car was in
1:16
1873. There's still a few of them
1:18
around, but not as prominent as they
1:20
once were. You know what killed the
1:22
cable car? No. The Netflix car. But in
1:28
2009, this was carved out of a tree
1:32
stating Casey Jones, and he is looming
1:36
overhead right there. The one and only
1:38
Casey. Look at that guy. Cars have
1:41
definitely evolved and changed a lot
1:44
over the years, especially the price.
1:47
This one stated at
1:50
$485. And back in the day, he used to
1:53
get out of the vehicle itself and crank
1:56
the engine. She's over there. She's over
1:59
there cranking the engine. There's some
2:00
very fascinating stuff inside this
2:02
building, including this Shell Oil fire
2:05
truck that was built in 1918. Used to
2:08
put out a lot of fires all along the
2:11
beach line. Check out the date.
2:14
1905. This old dairy mobile. Here comes
2:18
the milk wag. I almost said meat wagon.
2:22
Meat is not there. Here comes the milk
2:25
wagon. I've always been fascinated by
2:27
trains, especially ones of this
2:30
magnitude. The size of these. Just look
2:33
at the the sheer size of that light
2:38
right there. You don't want to peek and
2:40
it's like looking into the sun. Wait a
2:42
second. That's a skunk right there. It's
2:45
a conductor
2:47
skunk. I knew something. And I knew
2:49
something was wondering what that smell
3:11
was. Okay. Okay. I think I have found
3:11
one of the items. I've been looking for
3:14
this Union Pacific car number
3:21
3669. This
3:21
exact car was used in the 1970s song
3:26
music video by Ford. You're as cold as
3:30
ice. You're willing to sacrifice our
3:34
love. I've seen it before. It happens
3:37
all the time. Especially when it's right
3:40
here. They were standing right there
3:42
playing their musical instruments. At
3:44
the very end of the video, the band is
3:46
sitting in the windows and the camera
3:47
pans by. Check out the placement of the
3:50
3669. The letter N and the letter P. It
3:53
still looks exactly the same. That's how
3:55
I figured out. Look at that. 3669 in the
3:58
same location as well as that N and that
4:01
P. And the camera panned by ending the
4:05
musical video. What a classic. This
4:08
caboose was created in 1900. It weighs
4:11
over 9 tons. In fact, to move it, they
4:15
had to use a crane. Look at this old
4:17
timey
4:18
photo. Pretty crazy. That's That's the
4:22
same one we're looking at right in front
4:25
of us. Using my Columboblike research
4:27
skills, that's Peter Faulk walking
4:30
across the train yard. The location of
4:32
this has been moved, but it's the same
4:34
one in that scene from Identity Crisis
4:38
is the name of the episode. still says
4:40
Pacific Electric. The door has been
4:43
boarded up, but everything else looks
4:45
completely
4:47
identical. Oh, yes. True Columbobol like
4:51
research
4:53
skills achieved. One of the many, many
4:56
things I love about this area is the
4:58
movie, television, and music history.
5:02
It's incredible. Ever since I was a very
5:04
young wee lad, I was always fascinated
5:07
the way things were filmed and made and
5:11
where they were where they took place.
5:13
Being out here, it really exumes me with
5:16
joy to know that there's so many items
5:20
and places that I can always search out
5:22
and find and research. It's It's going
5:26
to be cool being in this area and
5:28
finding little
5:29
tidbits. Tidbits like what I just
5:31
showed.
5:39
Don't fall. It's a contest. It's not a
5:40
race. Slow down.
5:41
Go. What are you doing? You enjoying the
5:45
shade out here? It is pretty beautiful
5:48
when you're under the shade of a tree.
5:50
Don't go too close. You're get You're in
5:52
the sun now. Come back in the shade. Do
5:55
not go towards the light. Do not go
5:58
towards the light. What's up with this
6:00
date here? What do you think? Why do you
6:02
think that is written 2022? Someone came
6:05
from the future. The future. They're
6:06
trying to warn us. What does it say on
6:08
here? They're warning us about the
6:11
cobwebs. We're going to be attacked in
6:13
the future by cops.
6:17
I am having a tough time finding this
6:19
train. However, behind Peter Faulk there
6:22
on the tracks. The only thing I can
6:24
figure is they have repainted it. And
6:27
this is the same one. No longer a red
6:30
one right there on the front, but they
6:32
have painted it black and have moved the
6:35
cattle guard. I think it's the same one
6:36
because I've checked out every single
6:37
train. Yeah, you you have you have
6:39
perused around. You personally looked
6:42
yourself and that's what we're thinking.
6:44
That's that's both of our consensuses.
6:47
Is that a word? Professional opinions.
6:49
Is that a word? Consens consensuses.
6:51
Consensus. Consensi. What?
6:54
Ah, I like that. This is showing the
6:56
progression of how the tracks were laid.
6:58
You can see back in 1865, instead of
7:01
using concrete to hold the rails, they
7:05
use basically pieces of timber and wood,
7:08
and then in
7:09
2012, 136 lb rails, cast iron ties, and
7:14
something called a pandrel plate and
7:17
clips. Oh, there he comes. I don't think
7:18
I'm over here. I got a whistle. I'm
7:20
going to I'm going to Where are
7:22
you? Oh, there you are, man. I couldn't
7:26
find you.
7:44
fail. If you look there in the distance,
7:46
you can see one slithering through the
7:49
canyon very slowly. This is going to be
7:52
awesome when it's finally completed. Oh,
7:55
there's another
7:57
one. I've always loved miniature
7:59
versions of trains. Big fan. Do not be
8:03
confused because it's spelled upside
8:05
down. We are clearly in an Uber in route
8:09
to get a little
8:11
dinner. Arrive now at the oldest big
8:14
boys in America,
8:16
established
8:18
1949. And looking over the menu, it's
8:21
hard not to get distracted by by that
8:23
guy right there. There is a heck of a
8:25
lot of history inside this building. the
8:28
most famous historical aspect. And I
8:31
don't want to make it super awkward
8:33
because they're sitting in this booth,
8:34
but right here to the left of it is a
8:38
little placard stating the
8:40
fact it was their help album that was
8:43
being released in the
8:45
US. Pretty freaking cool. I love the
8:48
Beatles. So, pretty amazing fact. I've
8:51
always stated it's never too late in the
8:53
day for breakfast food. And lately, I've
8:55
been really enjoying corn beef hash. A
8:58
club sandwich. Yep. You're part of the
9:00
club now. You're part of the big boy
9:02
club. You're part of the big boy club.
9:05
No pun intended because we're inside Big
9:07
Boy. Mission accomplished. And I got
9:11
another Can you see it? I got another
9:13
trucker hat there. Walk down the road
9:15
just a bit at the entrance or one of the
9:18
entrances, gate two to Warner Brothers.
9:20
Harvey Corman came running out of here
9:22
with pie on his face at the end of
9:24
Blazing Saddles. Ran across the road
9:28
right here next to this pole. There was
9:30
a taxi. Drive me off this picture. And
9:33
what an unusually awesome coincidence.
9:36
Here comes our Uber. Drive me off this
9:38
vlog. Back on the boulevard now. And I'm
9:42
wondering now that I see Steve
9:44
Gutenberg's star, do you think he ever
9:47
just shows up down here in Los Angeles?
9:50
and remembers the good old days of
9:53
cocoon and police academy and thinks man
9:57
three men and a baby those were the good
9:59
old day that's what I would do if I was
10:03
Gutenberg actually really like that guy
10:05
I don't think he gets as much respect as
10:08
some people give him I don't know what
10:10
See you guys tomorrow vlog you ever
10:14
heard of Steve Gutenberg
