TDW 1859 - West Hollywood Is A Unique Place
Transcript
0:02
Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here
0:02
hanging out the window for no apparent
0:05
reason, but I have my caffeine. I'm
0:07
sitting in the passenger seat and in the
0:09
captain's chair of the Soul Train
0:11
Mobile. It's Rosco. What's up?
0:15
It's my second channel, Daily Vlog. I
0:17
don't have no idea why I was hanging my
0:19
my noggin out the side of the people
0:22
next to us were very confused. It's the
0:25
daily woo. We're going to do a little
0:27
meandering where the wild things are.
0:30
West Hollywood. Insert hat pun here. Do
0:34
you have a hat pun?
0:36
First comes the hat, then comes the yat.
0:40
What does that even mean? Are you Wait,
0:41
you were reading that, weren't you? You
0:43
were reading that. You were totally
0:45
reading that. It really makes no sense.
0:47
I think I've officially found the lost
0:50
flipflop of Big the Foot. He was He was
0:52
asking me if I knew where it was, and
0:54
now I found it. It's It's not in the
0:57
best shape, but you know, he could
0:58
probably still wear it. One thing I like
1:00
about this area is how much artwork
1:01
there is. This is called wheat pasting,
1:04
where basically you take a piece of
1:05
paper and you throw this wheat glue on
1:07
the back of it, slap it up on the wall.
1:10
Hey, sit on it. Slight unknown fact to
1:14
the general population. Prince was
1:17
actually a Vulcan
1:19
and vegan.
1:20
Was he a vegan?
1:21
I don't know.
1:22
According to that, he was. And
1:25
wait till they get a load of me. This is
1:28
moderately disgusting. It's like ice
1:30
cream or some sort of swirl being spun
1:34
around by hot dogs. Are you petting the
1:37
hot dog there?
1:46
On the side of the snake pit, this guy
1:46
is spray painting a flower and stating
1:49
the fact that from the dirt a flower
1:52
must grow. It's true. This old vintage
1:55
diner looks to be abandoned
1:59
in sorts. Man, this thing is cool. It's
2:01
like Route 66 style. All the stuff still
2:03
left in the back room. Someone has
2:06
really wanted to get in here and busted
2:08
the glass, but this is about as old
2:10
school as it gets. We're thinking that
2:12
maybe it's used for a filming location
2:14
like a TV shows and probably use this
2:17
still, but definitely not not
2:19
operational to get a meal. This is a
2:21
very creative way to utilize skateboard
2:24
decks. Oh, look down here. There's even
2:26
the wheels. Wonder how comfortable it
2:28
is. You sit on that and see how
2:29
comfortable it is. Is it cozy?
2:33
Actually, it's not too bad.
2:34
Feel good.
2:35
Should take that home with you.
2:37
I should.
2:37
How hard do you think it would be to
2:38
ollie that thing?
2:40
Which the chair?
2:41
Yeah. If you stood on it and like just
2:42
tried to do like an ollie with it.
2:43
Well, if you're a savage, you'd be able
2:44
to do it like one shot that boom,
2:46
but if you're me, I don't
2:48
I'm nowhere near savage level. If you
2:50
look closely inside that store, it's the
2:53
snowman from the Rudolph cartoons.
2:56
Hey, just chilling in there in the AC,
2:59
obviously, cuz he likes cold weather, so
3:00
he wanted to be out of the elements and
3:01
inside the AC. I used to wear a lot of
3:03
Chuck Taylor's in my younger days. Now
3:05
they've gotten older and slightly
3:07
heavier. They're not quite as
3:08
comfortable, but I can definitely admire
3:11
this window, including these American
3:15
flag ones. Those are vintage over there
3:17
on the side.
3:17
And speaking of tennis shoes, I just
3:19
noticed that you are also a fan of
3:21
Sakone. I am not the only one that wears
3:23
them.
3:23
Yeah, man. These are slick.
3:24
I'm not alone. I am now I am now not
3:27
alone in my foot fashion wear.
3:30
I mean, as soon as I turned like 30
3:31
years old, I figured I I need to be a
3:33
grandpa. So,
3:34
you got the grandpa shoes like me. Look,
3:36
we're dueling grandpa. Well, we're not
3:38
quite grandpa age yet, but pretty close.
3:40
I wonder if this bad boy has been taken
3:42
down any sweet slides.
3:45
I don't I don't I don't think I'm going
3:46
to try it, but just just just wondering.
3:48
Just wondering if it has. Now, this
3:50
looks like my kind of place. Monster
3:52
agogo. Horror in Hollywood. This bat is
3:56
circling around. Most places do not like
3:58
you filming inside and they have a lot
4:00
of loud music playing, but check out
4:02
this pin. And I got a little Bella
4:03
action for my fridge. Right up here,
4:06
you'll notice on the banners it states
4:08
the Groundlings established the year I
4:11
was born. And the Groundlings started
4:13
the careers of Phil Hartman and of
4:15
course Paul Ruben's Pee-Wee Herman right
4:18
inside that very theater. There's a lot
4:20
going on here. There's a a pink porpus.
4:24
There is a
4:25
dripping rainbow.
4:26
A dripping rainbow. A piece of pizza.
4:29
Are you familiar with the artist that
4:30
did this?
4:31
No. No. But it it's like obviously a
4:33
take of uh Lisa Frank if you guys
4:35
remember if you're a '90s kid. Lisa
4:37
Frank was the one that did all those
4:38
like rainbow unicorns and all these
4:41
color schemes were very similar. But
4:42
there's like look at these handball
4:43
courts over there.
4:44
There's lots of artwork going on. Oh
4:46
yeah. Over there where they play
4:48
handball.
4:49
There's lots of uh lots of art kicking
4:52
over there on this property.
4:53
So sick.
4:54
In this neck of the woods, everyone's
4:55
just a little more stylish, including
4:59
old Ronald McDonald. What's your name
5:01
for him?
5:01
Ronnie Mac.
5:02
Ronnie Mack. You're on a first You're
5:03
like a first name basis with this guy.
5:05
Ronnie M.
5:05
He's got a seat waiting for you. He's
5:06
got a He's got a seat there. Just Just
5:08
chilling.
5:09
The C stands for Captain.
5:10
Oh, Captain Ronnie Mac. What's He's got
5:13
the He's got like the the evil eyes,
5:15
though.
5:15
No. No.
5:16
Don't look into his eyes. Don't look
5:18
into his eyes. It's hypnotizing. I have
5:21
to wonder. I really have to wonder how
5:24
many people you think have kissed this
5:26
guy just simply because it states, "Kiss
5:29
me." I I don't know if I'd put my lips
5:31
on that. Don't No, no. Don't Don't do
5:32
it. Don't do it. Don't put your lips on.
5:34
You don't You don't know where that
5:35
electrical box.
5:36
There was brown lipstick on there.
5:39
That's gross. The name of the store is
5:41
called Necromance.
5:43
And there are a lot of animals that are
5:47
not alive portrayed
5:49
inside the window like this guy and this
5:53
chicken skeleton and a fox and looks to
5:57
be almost like a Fiji merman type
6:01
alienesque
6:02
creep creature next to this wartthog and
6:07
deer. Oh dear. There's a horse skull.
6:11
They were very keen on the no filming
6:13
policy inside there. But let's be
6:14
honest, people probably don't want to
6:16
see a bunch of rats inside
6:19
jars, mason jars, and human skulls that
6:21
were three or 400 and butterflies that
6:24
were pinned on the thing. Nobody wanted
6:26
to see.
6:26
No, I think you're underestimating the
6:27
people that watch your videos. I
6:28
wouldn't want to see that.
6:29
You would? Well, you did see it.
6:31
Yeah,
6:31
you did. You went inside.
6:33
Yeah, it was cool.
6:33
But there was signs everywhere. No
6:34
filming. No filming. No photos. So, you
6:37
don't you have to use your imagination.
6:38
here at round two. It's like a basically
6:41
a vintage thrift store. They have a
6:43
hoverboard. But one thing, if you
6:46
purchase that, just remember they don't
6:48
work on water. Hoverboards do not work.
6:51
What was like you bojo hoverboards don't
6:54
work on water.
6:55
But they do work on, you know, makeshift
6:57
carpet.
6:57
Wa. This place is like a serious
7:00
treasure trove of8s '8s goodness.
7:03
There's a lot of graffiti around here.
7:05
Some of it on the sidewalks and some of
7:08
it like this, which looks really cool on
7:10
the side of the wall. This guy's
7:13
pointing at something, but he's holding
7:15
a remote control of some sort.
7:19
Some 1950s artwork.
7:22
Whatever she's thinking is skull and
7:25
crossbones. That can't be good.
7:27
Feed me Seymour.
7:28
It's like a demonic Audrey 2. This
7:31
entire back alley is just decked out,
7:34
including this guy here. Look at this
7:36
guy's face.
7:46
It looks We could be brothers. Wait a
7:46
second. Wait a second.
7:49
Tim
7:51
Tracker. I think this is supposed to
7:53
represent when you text someone and they
7:56
don't reply. How you can get green. You
7:59
can get green with anger if they don't
8:01
if they don't respond to you. But you
8:03
just have to keep in mind no matter what
8:05
that
8:07
that's that's you just have to keep that
8:09
completely in mind. Some very
8:11
interesting stuff inside here. What'd
8:13
you end up getting?
8:14
I got a little baby Ronnie Mech.
8:16
Oh yeah, that does.
8:18
You're a big fan of Ronald. And what is
8:20
the significance of this particular pen?
8:23
I just like Ron English, so I decided to
8:24
grab it. Just any anything no matter
8:26
what kind of hat or paraphernalia
8:29
propaganda. I see what they did there.
8:31
Pop. It almost looks like the Disney
8:33
lettering.
8:34
Well, there's a reason for that.
8:35
Oh, really? What's the what's the
8:36
reasoning?
8:36
It's kind of a take on like, you know, a
8:39
little F to the whole
8:41
A little F.
8:42
Yeah. To the corporate juggernaut that
8:44
is
8:45
really
8:47
you would consider this the
8:48
counterculture Ronald McDonald.
8:50
Yeah. So what you're saying is that
8:52
particular item is not legally
8:54
sanctioned by Mickey De's.
8:56
Absolutely not.
8:57
So they don't have it on their website,
8:58
mcdonald.com.
9:00
They should though.
9:00
Now I've heard with Uber taking over
9:02
that taxi drivers are getting very
9:04
disgruntled, but that is no need to
9:07
drive off the side of a building and
9:09
through the bricks. It'll be all right.
9:11
Taxis will come back. Uber and Lift will
9:13
eventually fail. Spoiler alert, they'll
9:15
never fail. They they pretty much taken
9:16
over. Taxis are a thing of the past. The
9:18
name of this place is Joyrich.
9:21
And the side of the building is made up
9:24
of flowers. Are these
9:27
are those are those what I think they
9:30
are? Yeah, they are. They're they're not
9:32
real. They're they're they're totally
9:33
totally fake. I just realized Peter Pan
9:36
might have been the original selfie
9:38
taker. He originated it. Oh, yeah.
9:40
That's a good one. That's a great angle.
9:42
That's that's that's that's nice. That's
9:44
a good one. It's
9:45
nice for the chin. Gives him a good
9:47
chin.
9:48
strong.
9:50
We're on our way to get some dinner. It
9:52
is our
9:55
destiny.
9:56
Whoa, check this out.
9:58
That's sweet. They're doing a doing a
10:00
little filming. There's Vern Troyer up
10:02
there holding an Oscar, old mini me.
10:07
Finally got one. This ET is a little bit
10:10
more hip than the one we saw down the
10:12
road.
10:12
There's one thing that is the same,
10:14
though. That ET and this ET are both
10:17
rocking a gold chain.
10:19
The other one had a gold chain, too.
10:20
It sure did. It had like a Michael
10:21
Jackson hand or something on there. It's
10:23
glove.
10:24
there it is.
10:25
Oh, look at this. He's got this the
10:27
sweet the sweet ET emblem. And the phone
10:30
he's looking for to call home is
10:32
directly above him. It's He's It's
10:33
directly above you. It's Look, just look
10:35
up
10:36
dial phone that was not in fashion in
10:37
the 80s.
10:38
That's like
10:39
That's like a 70s phone or a ' 60s
10:41
phone. He's a timetraing ET. This dog is
10:44
leaving its mark. He's confusing the
10:47
heck out of that guy. The guy didn't
10:49
know what to think. So, he turned around
10:51
and started walking the other way. I
10:53
don't blame you. You don't want to You
10:55
don't want to get any of that on you.
10:58
That's for sure. I've heard a lot about
11:00
this place since I moved here, and I'm
11:01
finally going to try it. Caners on
11:04
Fairfax. And this is what we're dealing
11:06
with. An egg salad sandwich with
11:10
lettuce, little toasted sourdough, some
11:13
potato salad, some French fries, fresh
11:17
out of the oven, a pickle, dill pickle,
11:20
a lot. You have loaded up the ketchup
11:23
there.
11:24
Yeah. Straw handy.
11:25
You got you got you got to straw it up.
11:27
What did you get here for a sandwich?
11:29
I got the uh pastrami, which is a it's,
11:31
you know, a staple here.
11:32
Is it on rye?
11:33
It is actually on gluten-free bread
11:34
because I have problems with digestion.
11:36
And what's this here?
11:37
And that's a little bit of the klaw.
11:38
Oh yeah. This is uh this is quite the uh
11:41
dectable treat that we are about to
11:44
delve into.
11:45
So good. Yeah.
11:50
You're doing a great job.
11:50
Thanks.
11:53
I'm drawing you a present.
11:55
What's it say on the top there? What did
11:57
you write on the top? Oh, there you go.
12:00
Vlog over.
