5:17

Done it is when I was such a

5:19

rain. The M R I oh yes I

5:22

5:24

so he said oh my god you're a

5:26

Came Tyler Whatever did you say was highlights.

Sevens. Maybe. Oh.

5:34

Before it was absorbed by

5:37

the City of L A

5:39

and Eighteen Ninety Five with

5:41

a population of a hundred,

5:43

Highland Park was unincorporated land

5:45

with a bohemian crowd a

5:48

reputation. The

5:50

Red light district through

5:52

folks that residents considered

5:54

undesirable and the lack

5:56

of police presence along

5:58

with the difficulty of

6:00

accessing water lead to

6:02

annexation making it a

6:04

suburb. But it's not

6:06

your typical neighborhood with

6:09

match see interchangeable homes.

6:11

It's grittier with rustic

6:13

bungalows. It's cool

6:15

and unconventional was suburbs go

6:17

center retains it's artsy so

6:46

don't think it does a damn thing. I think

6:48

it moves trash around a little bit. I'm a

6:50

I think what it captures is like negligible said

6:53

could say anything up. Yet. As

6:55

it's not streets sucking, still streets sucking

6:57

6:59

Sound like a big

10:22

fucking dorks talking about

10:25

skateboarding, but you know

10:27

what? It's okay because

10:29

I know that we

10:32

can coexist skaters and

10:34

walkers. We value the

10:37

same things: smooth sidewalks,

10:39

accessible urban environments, and

10:41

inviting streetscapes. And our

10:44

days can be ruined

10:46

by a steep hill.

10:49

An errant rock or

10:52

a reckless driver were

10:54

on the same team.

10:56

Team. Was. A

10:59

good team name. The. Avenger. So

11:01

we're on the adventures together.

11:03

so. I see

11:05

like when I was a more I was younger

11:08

and I would come to Highland Park and skates.

11:10

Always feeling like I said this is like I'm

11:12

encroaching on someone elses terse. As

11:15

soon as I do, these. Guys. With realize

11:17

I owe these guys I say this care about skating

11:19

and always would end up like. They're

11:21

cool him and that's exactly still how

11:23

it is like those guys who were

11:25

probably thirty five at the time that

11:27

I I thought that they were absolutely

11:29

ancient. Aren't still there?

11:32

just hanging out? And

11:34

trying to think of any other on stories

11:36

over his so I know during wasn't thanks

11:39

to thing about skate parks these these gave

11:41

arsenal a Is there an old car one

11:43

of the last. Things

11:45

he eats, his escape parties can get.

11:48

More. For the most part, they're not going to tear

11:50

down a skate park and then put like a coffee

11:52

shop on top of it. And

11:55

on any and Lego. So like

11:57

an artist know. Expensive

12:00

coffee shop is. So what's cool about

12:02

skate parks in L A is there

12:04

are always gonna be the same saying

12:07

no matter what and and there's gonna

12:09

be like old school Highland Park toots

12:11

going through there. And

12:13

skaters usually they're pretty excited about.

12:17

Kids. Are getting good at scaling like they're

12:19

probably going to support that and it is cool

12:21

is like there's I do there. Are

12:24

12:26

12:37

his mom and and time again Now

12:39

he's in his twenties. And

12:42

this is while they. Are

12:47

hearing or here's your. Your

12:50

soon we approached the

12:52

Police Museum, originally the

12:54

Highland Park Police Station,

12:57

built in Nineteen Twenty

12:59

Five. The architecture is

13:01

described as Renaissance Revival

13:03

and is a registered

13:05

National Historic landmark. That

13:08

the Los Angeles least. I've never been in

13:26

13:29

of those little muffled. By

13:33

started explaining my cousin your back in

13:35

our values I wasn't ready to. they

13:38

won't get rid of cops out there

13:40

and I'm like how did you don't

13:42

think Alabama's this man? It's a is

13:44

a couple top said if you stop

13:46

signs. Is

13:49

different in as as there's a

13:51

reason every for up cop movie

13:53

in the world takes place in

13:55

Away. As as

13:57

the. Yeah

14:01

well, yeah, like the alleged gang

14:03

cops were. On. As a

14:05

kid, cops is to just pull my mom over

14:07

and ask around on a date of me and

14:09

retake all it's so funny. Financiers

14:13

stream abused as a. Scenario

14:17

in my siren some examiner eight o'clock

14:19

and then demand like a day where

14:21

I'll be back at a couple hours.

14:23

So now every time I hear sirens

14:25

I think gosh it someone's about the

14:28

as as now. we

14:30

have over the years on you get pulled

14:32

over easy going on. Here we go. To

14:38

get a semi number or said says

14:41

as like this little fucker was much

14:43

nicer. And. Author

14:46

and Historian Norman Klein famously

14:49

cause Los Angeles the most

14:51

photographed, yes least remembered city

14:54

in the world. I

14:56

thought about that as we walked

14:59

down York Boulevard look into buildings

15:01

reapers from transformed countless times and

15:03

talking about with recent film the

15:05

Civil Bird. like of it's up

15:07

there was like summer with like

15:09

the great L A movies you

15:11

know from our amount of that's

15:13

a great category for them. Thanks

15:15

man as there's so many movies

15:17

or shot in L A and

15:19

you have no idea where it

15:21

takes place I hate that a

15:23

mountain some movies are you. Watch.

15:26

A whole movie. nearly? Where Where is

15:28

this? Obviously sometimes it's okay. like with

15:30

seven as a as just post a

15:32

visa status place in the world. Saddest.

15:35

City urban area. Even

15:39

on a shot in L A. But. That's

15:42

okay and is why I can. Replace

15:45

people she places to know. Where

15:49

it is to see like special places and

15:51

Madison isn't. So. We tried but

15:53

also been on written how much of a choice

15:55

I'd signs red shoes on such a long island

15:57

so that we didn't get. High.

16:00

You know, so we'd have to find some big. Saying.

16:03

The shoot ourselves and just no matter what

16:06

even see a bunch of the location. And

16:09

then you've got to do. Oh

16:12

right way you you love your

16:14

shot. The sort of trust in

16:16

Birmingham. Yeah and I'd love to

16:18

shoot something in Alabama farm but

16:20

I always say I'm in areas

16:22

will. There's a lot of beautiful

16:24

shots of of a Birmingham and

16:26

hours realize their own really need

16:28

by how long did you get

16:30

to go there for their for

16:32

a week that movie only shop

16:35

for two weeks? Oh really? Yes,

16:37

an English as. I

16:40

love doing stuff in Alabama. Is

16:42

people making her so excited? Tim

16:44

make something nobody's phone or then

16:47

sometimes people aren't the most. Throw.

16:51

My third saying that it doesn't matter

16:53

because their attitude is so they're just

16:56

so willing Says like learn anything, Do

16:58

anything. They're. Totally. Rumor.

17:01

Moved to L with a group

17:03

of dude said would become a

17:05

sketch group called Power Violence. Like.

17:07

Me they awesome Bob Dylan on Funny

or Die video projects that the other

17:12

day to somebody like How Funny Or

17:14

17:31

how I met says i met you

17:33

and like the the power rounds cause

17:35

I remember unless you. Can

17:38

assume thousand planets, you know,

17:40

desert planet bed and you're

17:42

like, hey man, we're We're

17:44

from Alabama, To s

17:46

and I feel like I remember

17:48

having a feeling of like. How

17:52

are these guys? What? There's

17:55

more comedians from L L a

17:57

far as is me and class.

18:01

Which only been meekly and use

18:03

of. That's why I remember those

18:06

like that's well we times I

18:08

remember feeling like and I'm I

18:10

regret this now. Feeling.

18:12

Like. Somewhat. Competitive or something.

18:14

Oh really why that is? and

18:17

it didn't last long. It was

18:19

a slice or great. Some other

18:21

comedians are from Alabama has been

18:23

my thing. Was

18:25

a good as was I mean

18:27

mean gray another power. Rankings: Guys

18:29

didn't write a single comedy bit

18:32

for six years. Women only do

18:34

like send each other on fire

18:36

on stage comedy. So and Milan

18:38

advances in. why nobody was so

18:40

cool I can now is what

18:42

Know the oh. Right on man.

18:44

they're like fucking cool guys from Alabama

18:46

18:58

pan handle for a panhandle

19:00

music scene. Is this such

19:02

a different line? And

19:05

so he felt like such a goofy

19:07

damascus talk in two months in between

19:09

songs and then and guys has made

19:11

more sense for us to be median

19:13

was I would you were coming out

19:15

to do with comedy because I just

19:18

20:28

of these guys I don't why we

20:30

21:17

comics. We sound that they were

21:19

there is like some sort of

21:21

dark. Cloud saying

21:23

that we kind of belonged

21:25

more in that. World

21:28

a thing. Even though we were as

21:30

sketch group. I'm.

21:33

Definitely. Felt like outcast class.

21:37

Passengers. And

21:39

looking back I totally get it

21:41

because I mean I was in

21:43

a nick wireless my sketch teacher

21:45

21:47

would he at one point was

21:49

a because they would do okay

21:51

25:02

you know, arms I feel like. There

25:05

was a trend when you know

25:08

skating became more popular. To

25:11

do like got there was like an

25:13

urban design trend of hostile architecture. you

25:15

know, like you know like when I

25:17

put like spikes on like a little

25:19

while. So like you know. To

25:23

that he'd stoppers gate. yeah maybe

25:27

that's what is called to good

25:29

stuff Produce do no such as

25:55

the sidewalk, you get arrested.

26:00

Oh yeah he don't source

26:02

Zero escape for transportation all

26:13

times I was scanning from.

26:16

My mom's house down to the beach

26:18

which is maybe like two miles and

26:24

my friends in the cops comes state

my board put me under the car.

26:30

Was. Supposed to be like.

26:34

Oh now I'm here. They are you doing?

26:36

27:08

a cast of iconic

27:10

hand crafted marionettes and

27:12

an amazing crew of

27:14
