to attack him you like me to get you
don't you give me that foot give me that
foot can I have your tail Johnny you
don't need this do you can I have this
can I have one of your treats
days with Jordan the lion starts no well
good morning guys as days of Turin the
lion today marks 50 years that the doors
were a band so if you were kind of
wondering why I was so fanatical about
getting to the Morrison hotel yesterday
that's why that's why I wanted to do
that vlog on that day I kind of teased
on Facebook that I had gotten while I
was downtown I got into tore something
and I was super excited to release that
and I was gonna do it today but I'm not
going to because there was something
else that I wanted to vlog downtown and
I actually have Clippers tickets tonight
it's a Hawaiian hat night
so the hats actually say like Aloha and
they have the Clippers logo on the stuff
whatever like I said I told you guys
before like I don't have a good Clippers
hat actually I'm in Clippers hats and
it's a free hat night I think I got the
ticket for seven dollars two weeks ago
so I was like why not go so I'm gonna go
ahead and I'm just gonna save that vlog
for about two days because tomorrow I'm
going to meet somebody for the first
time he's gonna be the guest on the vlog
and he I mean this is gonna be another
probably two-parter and it's gonna be
really fascinating it I mean I'm super
excited because this guy and I have been
exchanging emails and we get along
really great and he just seems like a
really cool guy and the stories that
he's gonna be able to tell us was
amazing so I'm gonna go ahead and vlog
one of the things downtown that I saw
yesterday that I really wanted to do and
because I knew I was coming back today
and I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna do
that today and then we're gonna go to
the Clippers game so I'm gonna get the
day started take Joe for a long walk and
since its Clippers day I'm gonna break
in that new pair of Chris Paul shoes
that I showed you guys well I'm gonna
start the day with one of these suckers
yep I haven't given up I still got up my
life and they were on sale the other day
so I grabbed a couple and look who's
down there hanging out my my shoes look
whose tails Waggin somebody wants to go
for a walk and he's gonna get his wish
hey John you ready to rock look what I
got
boom I'm ready to rock - now that is an
all-time first of all things that I've
ever seen carved into a sidewalk that's
the first for that well John I are out
for another long walk because I just
couldn't bring myself to go up to the
the park it's just way too long of a
drive to get another disappointment like
we've had the last couple times and
can't relieve in play so we'll probably
wait until next week and I actually want
to go scout a location I found an
address for something out on one of my
favorite movies and I didn't realize it
was this close so we're gonna walk down
there and see what it looks like today
and maybe I'll vlog it here soon
check out that old truck guys I saw on
our lawn alright we're pretty close to
the street that I'm looking for I'm not
gonna show you guys what I see because
I'm gonna really want to vlog this one
on its own since they do a daily vlog on
locations in history I really have to to
an extent
not put a lot of multiple locations
unless they're all connected in some way
so I'm gonna go check this out and I'll
let you guys know what I find I'm
definitely for sure coming back and
doing that looks pretty much the same
it's a little bit different color I
think they repainted it but everything
that I want to see is still there and
I'm gonna come back but guys check out
this church that I just found
well that's cool look at that tree it
should he use that house for something
now every time I say that I find out
later that they did so let's see if we
ever find out what that was used in
that's a fantastic looking tree in house
well I guess what we stumbled upon is
the LA Full Gospel Church and I have
never been down this street so I've
never seen this
Wow
exquisite
as a pet owner litter has become really
one of those things that bother me
because in my neighborhood there's a
club and people like to drink in their
car and throw the bottles out in the
street and then they right drive over
them so there's constantly blue broken
glass in the streets and everything
where we live but this is a new one a
whole can of motor oil that's a new one
Wow look how ornate the side of the
building is
well there's no phone but there's a old
sock and a bag of dog poop anybody needs
a hat instead of a phone you know what
guys for the two years that these shoes
have been out I was completely I always
thought they were blue now I'm seeing
him in the light and they're actually
purple I didn't know they were purple
I've never seen him in good light I
think we found a Christmas tree
graveyard
r.i.p guys see what I mean by the broken
glass in the street that I was telling
you guys about that right there is what
I'm talking about
while my ticket at said two minutes so I
barely made it
check out all of the designs on this all
the artwork on this parking garage
yeah that's pretty exquisite I actually
like a lot of that stuff the reason I
stopped is because that one up there
kind of looked like spy versus spy to me
you can probably tell that I'm back in
downtown because there's something that
I've been wanting to do for a while and
I decided today's today that I'm gonna
do it and you're coming along with me
let's do it
nice I love downtown art I know right
now somebody's yelling at their computer
monitored one you better be going to the
Bradbury Building I'm not going to the
Bradbury Building I will go at some
other time but I'm not I'm gonna be
passing it but I'm not going today
no Bradbury building today and it seems
not the United Artists Theatre either
we're getting closer lots of
construction
there's the orphan that's our
destination either but my pal Joey Diaz
performed this show in the year so I
figured I put this on here we're getting
closer and closer
there's the Rialto kind of see right
here that they've there's a string of
theatres that used to be down here and
they've actually turned them into like
tennis stores and one of the ones that
we're going to hit today it's about two
blocks down and I'm really excited look
at all the graffiti on that building
pretty much the whole thing
they recently redid this and it's four
floors worth of Awesomeness so I'm
actually gonna come down here one night
in the evening because they have like
live performances and various different
stuff decorating each floor but we're
pretty much where we want to be now and
today Palace Theater was my was my
exciting news now I know you all have to
remember the Palace Theater that's where
Michael Jackson came walking out his
date the Thriller
and you would have actually seen it
would have said thriller starring
Vincent Price up there on the billboard
and then off to the side they would have
actually had the poster from the mask of
the Red Death
starring Vincent Price and that's what
they would have been displaying when he
and his date came walking out here now
one of the interesting things is that it
actually didn't film the interior shots
here they actually filmed that interior
movie scene that was all done in
Pasadena in a kind of a dilapidated
Rialto Theatre there and I will go by
there sometime when I'm in the
neighborhood
but right here this is where we would
have seen him walking out with his date
and that famous jacket
now what this also is and why it also
makes me so excited it up here
in those lofts that was where mod
Lebowski's loft was in The Big Lebowski
when you when you see her kind of kidnap
the dude I bring him here and explained
to him how important getting the rug
back is to her and trying to find out
what he knows that all took place up in
there and I'm such a big lebowski
fanatic that I couldn't not come down
here and show you that but I'm such a
big lebowski fanatic that I also have to
tell you one other thing not only is
this mod Lebowski's loft but if you
remember when Walter Donnie and the dude
go see the dudes landlord performing at
the crane Jackson fountain Street
Theatre and they that's where they have
the discussion where Walter is telling
dude that he's found out where this
Larry Sellars kid lives and then it's
over by the in-n-out burger on Radford
and and Donny and Walter end up getting
into a bit of an argument where that's
where Walter really shows this true
magic and keeps doing the shut the f up
Donny and Emmett he looks at the guy
dancing on stage and says so once we get
done with that what happy here
well we'll go over there kids should be
a pushover go hit the in-n-out burger
and our troubles will be over anyway
we'll go there after the what have you
embrace the kid should be a pushover and
actually all took place inside that
theater
so three extremely memorable things
happened here but I'm not done now this
might not be exciting to anyone else but
it is to me because I'm a big fan of
leprechaun too and there's a scene where
the Leprechaun is challenged to a
drinking contest by Morty and they kind
of lead you to believe that the the bar
and everything is right here because you
see them enter right beside the Palace
Theatre and then you actually see when
when the leprechaun gets drunk and he
comes out and he's trying to trying to
get regain as his bearings you see him
come out here and you actually see the
Palace Palace Theater signs and I think
the way they would have cheated that is
they I forget if it which one of these
they use but they used a doorway off to
the side my guess if I recall it was
right here with this or fient once this
bus is out of the way it's where this
Orpheum doorway was that he came running
out of and you would see the Palace
Theater sign right there as well as up
here
so for me for extremely phenomenal
things happened here two scenes from The
Big Lebowski is seen from leprechaun 2
which is I don't even know why they call
it a horror movie it should be in the
comedy section or the philosophy section
it's hilarious it's basically willow the
guy from willow plays the Leprechaun and
the first one they tried to make it a
horror movie and it wasn't really that
popular but the second was just pure
comedy and then we would have had mod
Lebowski and of course Michael Jackson
from thriller I actually wanted to do
this at night but it just wasn't
positive whether or not they would have
it lit up and of course they do
and and I was hoping that this the Sun
would go down before I went into the
Clippers game so that you could see it
that way but maybe just maybe after the
Clippers game I'll walk back over here
and I'll get this once again so you can
see what it looks like in the dark but I
hope you guys enjoyed that if you've
never seen The Big Lebowski go watch it
hilarious one of the best movies of all
time and two really key scenes take
place here and we're actually shot here
and before I take off I wonder you got
to show us one last thing I love these
little details in the Orpheum Theater
display up there one of them looks like
Robin Hood and that cool
just the details sometimes make it all
[Music]
downtown is still Christmas time baby at
the LA live
I guess it's uh like I told you guys
it's Hawaiian hat night I guess it's
Hawaiian everything night tonight it
started to rain out of here before the
game and the Hawaiian band is now
playing so let's go wash shall we
[Music]
[Music]
instead I'm gonna swipe it off the phone
so just be safe on there there you go
thank you
thank you new
I ran into it the Clipper game the Chuck
Chuck will show me how to get a free
drink here
show me you're not drinking alcohol
they'll give you a designate a driver
chip for a free drink bad influence that
man right there my tickets right next to
chuck tonight baby
lovely clipper girls usually Chuck would
be in there getting a picture but he
he's been sitting here telling you that
how he's probably seen like two movies
in the last 30 years and one of the last
one is he saw was with Tom Hanks I said
Forrest Gump because yep that was it
yeah when I said he has seen two movies
in the last 25 years I'm talking at home
he told me you only want this for
that takes them i gotta have real
Chuck's gonna introduce us to a guy that
he's known forever like this Chuck knew
this guy in New York City and this guy
used to work at Ebbets Field when the
when the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn
this guy Fast Eddie
you worked at Ebbets Field
man is incredibly buddies get the hell
out of it goes down the tuna right will
you tell me again what you what you did
on your 80th birthday
and you said what did you say about
Mount Rushmore
here here nice to meet you Eddie we
didn't realize it but if you didn't get
a hat they're giving out lei so I'm glad
I got here early
I don't want to lay I mean I do but I
don't yeah the logo for the shock Tom
looks like Mack tonight you guys
remember good max tonight is no alcohol
for me I got the raspberry tea all right
off to the seat so the reason they get a
tickets here Chuck is because the link
even sits next to Chuck only comes about
one or two games a season I don't know
why she get the tickets she's kind of
four years and she's done this readers
so we said usually no one game this year
and she gave away the tickets to

get a drink somebody Chuck got laid
