8:42 okay you guys still survive all over there uh well we're close now and why are you close I was like I'm trying to try to get this back in track you know that's the whole point of this video so yeah something happened to to our beloved local bowling alley besides before you guys went there uh do you have the video on your phone show David what happened to it well I want to see and then the people on without watching are gonna see it in another little window oh yeah um okay well actually I don't think you guys have seen this one either I'd rather see his reaction to it first time fight this guy crumping in there what the ████ this is the front entrance going in oh no yeah so is that from all the Rings I don't know if you guys it is oh

9:36 my God yeah I didn't post that but that's it all Hambra I didn't know it rained that much yeah okay it was rough ████ I didn't get a video of it actually breaking yeah my sister's like checking because you might have it do you have photos of the hole okay yeah yeah dude that was that's not like that whole crazy it's like 30 by 30 or something like that so because of all the torrential downpour and the rain last week the weight of the water on the roof was it just eventually like broke it through oh my God look at that dude what the ████ yeah so it was pulling on the top and then it just too heavy is that something that insurance can cover yeah so luckily that's that's why I started showing I was like I don't care if I show it anymore they approved oh nice that's crazy because nobody gets rain or water damage insurance in California or L.A because they're just like that should never have let's say you didn't

10:26 have insurance what would that be out of pocket cost be my agent told me that it might have been over 200k oh my God what a goddamn roof yeah ████ what that's crazy oh my God why would 200k hey what is expensive out in these days you know because you have to also redo a lot of the walls a lot of the structure is kind of messed up so they have to do a lot of structural stuff we'll get you get to actually get it up to code now brand new ████ yeah yeah so there's now it's super old it's a super old building so it's really not up to code so I'm gonna have to go through the city and get all permitted did you do the Asian thing with one of

11:16 your family members is like oh red hurt my neck too I'm a chiropractic ████ Services you know we were actually on top of the the roof because we're gonna go drain the pool and then you guys fell in too we almost did though oh as soon as we got to the top we turned around and the whole thing just dropped whoa what if you guys should fall in and get half a million dollars yeah we should we can we can cut this part out of the video we restart it over and be like you fell in and yeah I wish you so funny on video no no you're being hurt but that would be really fun for us the hole is oh I didn't show you the other side it would look like where your brother felt like the end of the one of those Tijuana water slides that was the because our side is the smaller hole there's a huge hole on the other side other side who's the other side what what establishment was over there Raising Canes no it's just the other

12:07 room was like this oh ████ is that the pool hall or the bar yeah oh no and we were this close of doing JK news there I know that's what I was thinking too and I was I was going to start up we did do Jake and oh my neck was from The Ring give me a hundred thousand dollars hey good thing you didn't have other customers there blaming you for something that happened that's true so this off hours when it happened uh no we I just opened um so we had people in there was a league that was about to start and then everything just went wrong no we were talking about getting the JK news office in that room with the Cape Town oh that's right yeah we would have had all this equipment just smashed down that's the worst idea ever dude

13:05 every day why can't you read I don't know Chinese I've been pumping the whole place stop stop that should take place from the new like people completed it's loud and it scares them I know you think that scares you check one out wait till you get this John hall.wave it's not even him so the bowling alley is still going to be up after you fix everything there should be a massive gutter ball you could get I mean technically we can uh but we don't really want to you don't want to reopen Golden Mile so fix it fix it and sell it uh that or we'll try to sell it where my brother my brother's so

13:57 as is with the whole no no yeah they're gonna show up to Deja Vu let's go that's a thick ass Pole we're trying to see if we can do something else there I want to keep the building yes have someone else to do something else there instead Esports don't say Esports no but but the bad internet cafe the back of the bowling alley that has all that Machinery that shoots the ball back isn't that worth something like yeah we can probably sell them like there's probably other bowling alleys that'll come pick it up open a japanese-made cafe there are so many creepy little leaves out in that area dude they would ████ you would make so much money they would ████ you amazing weedy ass greasy little virgins dude I have a friend that's a show that I used to be dude no seriously because I um and make us VIPs there got it I went to so so Tim and I do this thing at this Anime Expo

14:47 and there was like the the Japanese made Cafe where they've had you know it's they don't speak Japanese but it's people who like anime and Japanese are they even Japanese or like Vietnamese or whatever they're all white it's not for me right but I I do know that a lot of people enjoy that ████ like there was like a waitlist people signed up to sit down and get served by them yeah and you know they're obviously doing it's a very Niche like what are they serving they're just s█████ ass cakes and croissants that they got from Vons so it's really it doesn't matter it's just about the the aesthetic and the environment so it's so literally it's you know if you've ever watched anime you'll see like these bubbly little girls who are like okay

15:41 they didn't expect it to be like that right they got them Heavies though right no they did not they had heavy makeup though you know what I'm saying but no they're very sweet I don't want to say that cut that out no keep it in it's real okay they they would walk up and they come in hi oh my God it's I'm so glad to see you how are you I was so ████ uncomfortable right but people love that experience it's just not for sure yeah is that when we went to the cafe in Japan hello I am a nasty we went to the monster Cafe it's the Kawaii monster Cafe well it was a guy he came out and he goes hello should totally be the manager at a japanese-made cafe yeah you should be nasty dude I'll have a ████ eye patch and ████ you open a Japanese made Cafe I

16:31 guarantee you balling out crazy just had good coffee good drinks and just a bunch of people pastries from Vons pastries from Vons they don't give a ████ about the food they just care about that experience where you get treated like you're the hottest guy on Earth I'm hearing good metrics man yep good conversions gotta be good money or else I don't know how I'm gonna do that because that like you said is uncomfortable but you see it's like the Vietnamese cafe minus the nudity yeah and then the girls do performances too where they have like dance it's just making you not want it more no yeah it's really not he's selling it hey you said until these pockets are heavy like some titties you know what I'm saying we've got six locations yeah the only tattoos you'll be seeing on ████ you know what I'm saying are the guys all are the are the guys all wearing Naruto outfits and stuff it's you know what I'll say this man

17:22 what I love about anime Expos is that I feel like these people don't get to really be themselves until they're in this area watching them that happy made me happy right because I know for a fact that listen they're not when you go outside in the real world and you you express all these things that you like that people don't enjoy they're afraid to get picked on but over here the music is going on they know every K-pop dance and ████ you know they're doing all this stuff they look at somebody else they go world and they look so ████ happy that made me real they're not hurting anybody exactly and they get to really be like as dweebie and nerdy as they are absolutely and they just like that no wedgies to follow no wedges nobody's getting beat up nobody is judging them except for me and it's just quietly it's really nice because I but anime nowadays is super in it's very in like I'm talking about even like Street

18:12 culture in like every like major basketball player and it felt like they're very Pro yeah but they're like on the fringes of anime liking right so they like the popular yeah these people are in it in it they dress uh like left-wing anime yeah man I saw somebody in like this uh outfit it had to be I mean I'm guessing he's probably spent thousands of dollars on that ████ and they wait for this moment for them to be there and then people come up to him like Hey can I take a photo with you and you see them light up made me feel really ████ good hey you know what yeah it's their burning man that's like that's like Renaissance that's a really good it's their burning man it's like their moment you know by the way this day was ████ raining up it was the worst day of my life because me and Tim were so ████ stupid we saw the we saw the weather we saw everything else it was pouring rain we have to do a food show we have no coat no nothing I wore a hoodie what happens when when water touches a

19:02 ████ hoodie so we barely filmed ████ anything the worst day of my life but watching these people enjoy themselves made me really fun and happy man it was really cool you guys deserve the best all you guys the comments if you think it should be turned into one of these made clubs let them know and if you have any other suggestions what could Golden Mile bowling become next bowling alley ████ made oh yeah because when they Bowl you could they bend over a little I don't know if we're listening to the fact that he neither wants to run a bowling alley or a maid shop yet so combine them oh word genius hey in the comments below tell me you guys don't want a bowling alley maid service all the bowling balls are pink all made service and they come up and they give so the ball doesn't come back from a mechanism someone brings it back yeah they go like this

19:53 very good [Music] foreign
