post looks to be let's have a quick look around remember all this could be yours if the price is right [Music] the hotel california i can't play the song it was a good song by the eagles because if i play that song along with this clip right now youtube will demonetize my video and give me a copyright claim you're busted this is a cute little town nice little cactus garden right there well this is interesting in the back are teepees and sculptures let's have a look this is what you get when you cross a jetson's car with a volkswagen bug i've gotta hand it to these people they really know how to create a sculpture looks like that car is going to funky town or maybe you'd prefer to ride on the happiness bus another artfully decorated bus back there pick the town that you're from right here i've been there the mustangs are coming through today looks like a little memorial brickway here they all have that leaf in each corner do you recognize that leaf [Music] so this is the guy overseeing the garage sale huh sorry i'll get back to the videos now hey man this is the best low rider i've seen in a long time man i think we should take a cruise man check the mic and make sure [Music] that's my dog my dog eats a lot he'll eat my other pets if i'm not careful it's pretty chill around here hey amigo the store is closed but here's a look through the window yep it's a solar field and it is massive probably goes for a few miles well i enjoyed having a look there at nipton that was kind of cool so now we're back on the road we're heading to uh nevada again for just a short time though wow we're coming into a massive joshua tree forest so we're in nevada again but it's only for a little while and we're gonna shoot on over to arizona okay we're crossing into arizona now and that over there is the colorado river the american nile over on the other side of the river there is laughlin nevada and all its casinos this is bullhead city back on the interstate again this time in arizona east of or west of rather seligman good morning i slept in a real bed last night and not in the back of my car i'm at a friend's house can you guess what state i'm in is it a arizona b new mexico or c california if you picked a you win that's right i'm in sedona arizona i finally found my electric shaver in the car and i reorganized the car i'm giving some things away and i'm leaving some things at my friend's house so i'll have more room in the car now and there will now be restructuring of finances the money that i used to have to pay for taxes on the house that money will now pay for most of the food that i eat in the year the money that went every month toward insurance for the house that money will now pay for gas every month on the vehicle and the money that went to utilities that will go for miscellaneous expenses maybe a new set of tires down the road or car repairs or anything that may come up and pay for cell phone as well as you may have noticed i like natural hot springs and while this one's not natural exactly it's kind of like a hot spring but with jets turn on those jets now that i've sold my house it's time to get out have some fun and go on adventures it's time for a celebration like mardi gras [Applause] [Music] yeah i left a town that really did not like outsiders it was very much an us versus them mentality i was able to be acquaintances with several people but it was hard to really make solid friends and i endured that town as long as i could and it took a long time to sell the house and that's that's a long story in itself when i'm not going to go there right now there's a lot of bad people in that town um and there's to be fair there are a handful of good people too some of them who grew up there and some that did not they are from other places other states but you know what i learned through it all is you can try and you could try and you can try but there is a fine line between tenacity and masochism drowning bee alert will help him out hey sedona condo people with the exception of dogs and cats these are the original residents mary covered christmas everybody merry christmas we've got pie fresh baked apple pie yes it's a sort of american apple pie made by brit but i'm not the greatest and i made the chopping and then i realized that there was plastic in it so i had to take the whole thing off pour in a bowl take plastic out put it back in again so it doesn't look pretty but you should taste okay susanna is a talented sculptor and her latest project is working on the pangolin can you tell us a little bit about pangolin susanna pangolin the pamela is the little animal that's the most trafficked in the entire world today they're a delicacy to be eaten in china and they've all but disappeared out of asia so now they're being taken out of the jungles of africa and they're becoming very scarce i mean dangerously scarce it was very sad that the coronavirus because 19 has been blamed on this poor little animal the pangolin because they were in the wet markets in in where was it went china and uh the bats that were actually in hibernation at that point in time were caged above where the pangolins were and they soiled the cage of the pangolins and the pangolins had a virus that was then eaten by the people by the chinese people as a delicacy it's very expensive and that virus passed then to homo sapiens and so it's it's very sad that this little animal has been accused of causing the coronavirus when in fact it's a victim itself the original was made out of clay then from the clay i made a rubber mold which is here she's recorded every single detail of it from this which has two hard sides to it to keep it in shape i made a literally a plastic white plastic cast um to make any repairs and i had to make repairs to the little scales as you could see there were holes there were bubbles at the end of the scale because they're so undercut and so fine once this is done i'm going to make another mold rubber mold of this and from that brow mode i will make waxes which will then be cast into bronze proceeds to go to the rest foundations in namibia who take care of endangered species including the pangolins that are captured welcome to my combined celebration my birthday sale of the house larry is now free of cancer michael is about ready to launch his channel [Music] [Applause] so much for social distancing yeah just gonna move the cake because this is coveted time and then i will be blowing out the candles okay i'm gonna blow out the [Music] candlesticks [Music] it's not working [Music] and now let's cut the cake thanks for joining me on my birthday i sold my house it's heavy dance time you may not know it by looking at susanna here but she used to uh play quite a bit of polo and if you look at this newspaper clipping right here look down there that's picture over there she used to play polo with prince charles over in england isn't that right susanna that's right yeah paul is good fun right it's pretty hairy pretty hairy yeah it can be a bit different of fun fast-paced little dangerous a lot of fun sounds like a good game to me so there's a picture of prince charles there tucking in his shirt and there's a picture of susannah there playing polo and this article happens to be in spanish here's another article with susannah the polo girl so susanna tell us you were the only woman on the men's polo team is that correct for three years at windsor that's god's club how i'm living so never [Music] [Laughter] you might wonder how do i make money when i'm on the road all the time well one way is i'm a dog whisperer so i do dog training like with amber here okay that's good now remember what i told you great today's dish is mixed vegetables with octopus on egg noodles the vegetables include sweet potato red pepper celery onions uh zucchini and chickpeas which are not a vegetable but that's okay and that's today's dish that will be our dinner tonight as you can see larry enjoys cooking probably because he enjoys eating as well as do i yes sedona is a little different than much of the rest of america as you may have already discovered from some of my other videos does this meal of octopus not grab you if you don't cook it long enough it might did i mention the traffic in sedona is endless we're not even moving absolute insanity [Applause] [Music] susanna you and i have been doing a lot of singing lately uh i thought of something we could do a duet how about if we sing god save the queen you determine if well actually if we change the words it's uh what's it called my country tissue brother of christ yeah he was in advertising or public relations and there was some rumors that he was gay um well he was centered he didn't want to go into the army uh he didn't want to go and fight he he was more into theater and sensitivity so romeo i have some fresh cuttings of romeo it's so weird that my brother's daughter was related you know romantically to him and magically but they never but i was a different generation they never went that far the brother oh yes yes oh yeah that was serious 18 months you used to go to balmoral oh wow well didn't the tabloids have you like you were dating prince charles for a little while but thank you but i mean but they tried to play it up right yeah because they're tabloids yeah that's right try to make a story out of anything we obviously were playing polo together we chat together and they make a story they didn't get a shot of you prone on the ground you're looking at the man who who trumped trump maybe that's out there from prince charles does that make you feel good michael to say that i went out where he didn't another fine but chilly day here in sedona and i kind of have a
