We don't even ask

Welcome everyone. Today I'm joined by
0:24
Jeffrey Howard of kickbite.net. This is
0:27
him right here. We're swinging in
0:30
complete synchronization.
0:32
And the reason we're doing that is in
0:34
honor of the 1985 classic movie Daryl.
0:41
We're really happy to have you with us,
0:43
Daryl. Do you know what Daryl stands
0:46
for? I sure do. Tell me. Data analyzing
0:51
robot youth life for. Data analyzing
0:54
robot youth life form. Even though it's
0:58
an 80s classic and loved by many,
1:00
including me, it cost 16 million to
1:02
make. How much was the box office? I
1:05
would estimate 30 million. What was it
1:07
really? Try about eight. What?
1:11
Try about eight. What? Try about.
1:15
Relax, Howie. I was only kidding about
1:18
the money.
1:23
Now for something really amazing, ladies
1:23
and gentlemen. Right there.
1:26
Right where my tripod is pointing is the
1:29
house that Daryl lived in.
1:31
Let's approach. There's definitely been
1:34
some trees that have been sprouted up
1:36
since the movie. But you look straight
1:38
ahead. Look at the number on the door.
1:40
Same door.
1:43
Same numbers, same everything. 716. I'm
1:47
Jeffrey Stewart. This is my wife, Emma.
1:50
There. That window was the window that
1:51
Daryl would have been playing piano in
1:54
and the camera would have panned out
1:56
this way.
2:12
His room was up there.
2:12
That lantern there can actually be seen.
2:16
That lantern can actually be seen in the
2:17
shots. Of course, it's grown over now.
2:20
The car comes down this road at one
2:21
point, passes this batch of trees, pulls
2:24
into the driveway right there
2:37
in this area where I shouldn't be
2:37
walking is where Daryl would have been
2:40
standing.
2:42
And let's look this way.
2:45
Does that look familiar to you in the
2:46
movie at all? You got to grip the bat
2:48
pretty firmly. You Daryl would have hit
2:51
the ball right over there. It would have
2:52
hit the door. You can see this house
2:54
here on the left. This would have been
2:56
an empty little field.
3:05
That was Turtle's house right there.
3:05
When his sister showed up on the moped
3:07
with the boyfriend, they would have rode
3:09
right down here and turned into here.
3:11
This was not paved, but you can see that
3:13
little concrete slab there. It was still
3:15
there. He was up there looking through
3:17
his window.
3:25
One of my favorite moments in Daryl
3:25
happened right here when he came running
3:27
out of the door and he was looking over
3:28
our direction.
3:57
These are the two trees right here where
3:57
they had their little conversation.
3:59
Camera angle that you see in the movie
4:01
was actually way down here. See if I can
4:03
jump down here without killing myself.
4:07
So down here is where the camera angle
4:09
would have been. right here in the
4:10
water. They would have had the camera
4:12
set up and the camera angle would have
4:14
been something like this. Come down here
4:16
and just sit right on the edge of this.
4:18
Let's Let's pretend you're either Daryl
4:20
or Turtle. Who do you want to be? I'm
4:22
the skinny one, so I'll be Daryl. You're
4:24
Daryl. Well, the doctor said maybe my
4:27
memory could come back suddenly. Only no
4:30
one really knows.
4:32
Ow, that's uncomfortable.
4:34
But this is it. This is the spot. Pretty
4:37
excited. This is the view they had.
4:39
That's an emotional moment right there.
4:42
It's an emotional moment even for a
4:44
robot. We better get back. Want to come
4:46
over to my house?
4:48
We're real nice to her. Maybe Hookie
4:50
will let us play with a new computer.
4:52
Okay. Who's Hookie? My sister Sher Lee.
4:57
Hookie. Amateur Hooker. She dates every
5:00
night. I just invented the name. It
5:02
really pisses her off. Right down here
5:04
is the ATM where the ATM was. And then
5:08
Daryl would have been putting the card
5:10
in.
5:12
You got it. Terrific. Give me a hundred.
5:16
Right over there is where the baseball
5:18
team was and their car would have been
5:19
parked. All that building in the
5:21
background is completely different. You
5:23
come here. I'm going to bat you fourth.
5:26
Okay. You can really tell is this shot
5:29
here. You can see this molding and all
5:31
is still very, very similar. The ATM
5:34
would have been right there.
5:36
Daryl would have turned around and
5:37
walked away. Thank you for using the
5:39
time machine. You're welcome.
5:42
The First Bankers look forward to
5:44
serving you again. If you listen
5:46
closely, the ATM voice is actually done
5:49
by the same actor that played
5:52
the adopted dad.
5:56
serving you again. Yeah, well, some of
5:58
us stiffs got to work for a living, you
6:00
know, not like some guys I know. The
6:02
first bankers look forward to serving
6:04
you again. There was actually some oak
6:06
trees here that are now gone. All that
6:08
looks different, but that's where the
6:10
car would have pulled up right up there
6:11
on the grass to let Daryl out.
6:26
This is the school Daryl would have got
6:26
out in Turtle. I'm going to show him in
6:29
standing right over in this area here.
6:32
They were gone into the school.
6:35
It's okay, Joyce. I'll take him in. Oh,
6:38
I think Daryl might You want a kid to
6:40
show up for his first day at school with
6:41
his mother? See, in those windows was
6:44
where the shots where Daryl was grading
6:46
the paper and the teacher was giving him
6:47
some flack for being too smart. What do
6:49
you think you're doing?
6:52
Changing the answers on somebody else's
6:54
paper. I'm correcting them as you asked.
6:57
But I haven't given you the answers yet.
7:05
One of the most memorable scenes in the
7:05
movie happened right over here at the
7:07
baseball field. The field has been
7:10
revamped a little bit and these fences
7:11
are actually a little bit newer. But in
7:13
1985,
7:15
something magical happened right here.
7:17
Right over here is where the two coaches
7:19
meet and they shake hands. Right there
7:22
before, guys. Right. Come on.
7:27
Yo, pull. Good luck.
7:36
You ever played ball before? Can it?
7:36
Fence was a lot smaller, but over this
7:38
exact spot right here is where Daryl hit
7:40
the home run. He went over this fence
7:42
and look straight that way. That's where
7:45
the ball would have bounced. Right there
7:46
beside that tree and towards that house.
7:56
Do you remember the first time you saw
7:56
Daryl hit the home run when you were a
7:58
kid? 1985 seeing it in the movie
8:00
theater. What was your feelings when you
8:02
first saw that? I like a good home run.
8:06
You know where it happened, right? Right
8:08
here. Right where? Right here. No, right
8:11
behind me.
8:14
You seem stoked.
8:17
Another one of my favorite scenes
8:18
happened right here. It's when the coach
8:20
just saw Daryl hit his first home run
8:22
and he was making that crazy laugh right
8:25
there.
8:27
Daryl. You have to run.
8:37
Right about there is where Turtle would
8:39
have given Daryl his advice about
8:41
grown-ups. The famous speech right
8:44
there. Daryl, I've been meaning to give
8:46
him my speech about grown-ups. It's a
8:48
great speech. There's an extra in the
8:50
movie that makes a really spectacular
8:52
face right here.
9:05
See the baseball field in the back and
9:05
Jeffrey standing right in the exact spot
9:07
where Daryl would have been standing and
9:09
stopped by the adopted mom. It's right
9:11
there. She would have had the little
9:13
conversation with him. Right there.
9:15
Point where you're at.
9:18
That's where it is.
9:20
Sweetheart,
9:22
there's uh there's something we No, too
9:25
short. There's something uh we need to
9:28
talk about. You'll notice I'm wearing my
9:30
Darth Vader Star Wars shirt. Like Darth
9:32
Vader, Daryl was actually half robotic
9:35
and half human. But he didn't have a
9:37
dark side. Jeffrey that's holding the
9:39
camera, he does have a dark side.
9:42
Turtle, you represent the winning run,
9:45
Turtle. The winning run.
9:49
Nice.
9:55
After they won the game, they all
9:56
cheered and yelled and ran right across.
9:58
They are behind the fence and they
10:00
jumped on top of the shoulders of each
10:02
other. You're only
10:16
with me. We're going to reenact the
10:18
walking scene. You can see this house in
10:21
the background is exactly the same. We
10:24
just won the game.
10:26
Byebye.
11:04
Check that out. It's the military
11:04
compound.
11:09
Heat.
11:39
The police chase actually started right
11:41
down this road. In fact, you can see
11:43
that weld right sign. It says hitches
11:46
and welding. You can see that in the
11:47
shot.
11:50
Car would have drove right out of there
11:52
and gone this way.
12:02
So, basically right where I'm walking
12:02
about to get hit by a car, that car is
12:03
honking at me. So, I'm in the middle of
12:05
the road trying to recreate a Daryl
12:07
scene. That car was not very happy about
12:09
it. In fact, you can see all this here
12:11
in the shot.
12:18
They drive right by here. There's some
12:18
billboards here on the right. You can
12:20
actually see that driveway in the shot.
12:22
I'm going to walk over here and try to
12:23
get a better view for it. Trying to do a
12:26
little uh little hitchhiking here.
12:30
Having any luck? Go. Show a little left.
12:34
Show a little left.
12:38
Pull it over, doctor.
12:40
Move your vehicle to the curb. Turn on
12:42
to the freeway. I repeat, move your
12:46
vehicle to the curb. Move your vehicle
12:48
to the curb. Take the freeway, please.
13:00
Cars in Daryl. Speaking of the police,
13:00
there goes one there. He's not chasing
13:02
Daryl, but we are. Well, and that's
13:04
where the car with Daryl
13:06
would have gone right over that little
13:07
awning there.
13:15
We're going have to climb up over this.
13:15
Climb that fence and try to get the
13:20
Uh the links you go to right over this
13:23
way is where the toll road was. The car
13:25
would have pulled right up there.
13:27
They've actually revamped it a lot. Now
13:29
it's a lot nicer. That's where the
13:31
little car would have blocked all the
13:32
police officers.
13:40
This is where the car the police chase
13:40
is going to end as the car is going to
13:42
come down the on-ramp
13:48
down the on-ramp which has now been torn
13:50
down and then where they go this way
13:53
right over here to the ABC formerly
13:55
known as
14:02
So this is the hospital where Daryl
14:02
would have been pronounced dead. The
14:04
family would have drove out from right
14:06
over here down this road.
14:21
But he can't die. There was a robot.
14:21
Robots don't die.
14:35
Cue the 80s awesome ending credit music.
14:53
Join us.
