Приєднався 14 січ 2014
As an author, speaker, and American explorer, Gary McKechnie has spent the past quarter-century traveling across the United States to write and report about the people, places, events, and festivals found in every corner of the nation. With the ease of photography, videography, and social media he begins to shift the focus from the printed page to youtube to encourage everyone to... get off the laptop -- and get on the blacktop.
Unedited Interview with Don Knotts April 1992
When Don Knotts visited Orlando's Disney-MGM Studios, my wife and I were given an opportunity to interview him, with that interview -- which I found on an old cassette tape -- being shared here exactly as it unfolded. The backstory is that I had just presented Mr. Knotts with a proclamation naming this 'Don Knotts Day' in the city of Orlando (which is the image accompanying the interview), but before we were ushered into his trailer for our conversation, Disney officials told us we had exactly ten minutes to complete the assignment. But as it happened -- and as you'll hear -- we knew more than the average reporters who only discussed his role as Barney Fife. We asked about his family, about growing up in West Virginia, and other topics that he rarely -- if ever -- was able to share with reporters. This apparently pleased Mr. Knotts who was more than generous with his time. Not only did we far exceed the ten-minute time limit the Disney press people initiated, he and his manager invited us to lunch.
He was a beautiful, wonderful man who provided one of our favorite interviews ever.

If you're a Beatles fan who's ever wondered where the Indra and Kaiserkeller clubs were in relation to each other (and their initial lodgings at the Bambi Kino), this rudimentary video will give you an idea. Before I visited, I had no idea of the locations of the Reeperbahn, the side street called the Grosse Freiheit, or where they lived when they first arrived in August 1960. I discovered they...
Bob Dylan Musicares Speech February 2015

A legendary address by Bob Dylan, it's rare to find an actual video of his entire 40-some minute speech. Thankfully, some prescient attendee recorded this from her phone which gives us the chance to see (in cinema veriteé) what those in the audience saw. A man of few words or expressions (watch him as President Obama tries to crack his facade), for some reason he chose this venue to expound on ...

Merci! A Short Film by Christine Rabette

From 2003, one of the most joyful films I've ever seen has also been called 'Bodhisattva on the Metro'. In a perfect (and easily replicated) random act of kindness, the laughter of one man finds the mood of an entire car of commuters transformed in just minutes. Jan Hammenecker's expressions and laughter rivals that of Stan Laurel it's contagious and beautiful. You cannot watch this without lau...

way too fast IMO
Thank you so much
I hope McCall burning in hell 👍🏿🔥🔥
If I listen to any more of Bad Dog's phone calls I'm going to put on my adult diapers first because I just peed myself laughing..... 😅😂🤣
Work size dildo?
Can anyone get that Court testimony with a twist ?????????) 🤣
I heard the uncensored version of this once. A friend of mine had a connection at rock 103 and got a copy of the original tape. The cussing they beeped over was xxx rated and pretty racist too. If there was a cussing Oscar, Lantham would’ve won it!
So cool guitaring 😼
How old was he when he recorded it? He doesn't look old
I wasn’t interested in your conversation. You should play.
My Goodness Beth is splitting a rib laughing so hard in the background. Now this is so funny 😂🤣
The classics never go out of style.
Does it always go through your town?
Bad Dog was the Big Dog. I miss him very much.
BD was told in advance “if you really want to set him off. Ask him to “be quite” and he would do ANYTHING except hang up. He worked for Memphis Light gas and water for years.
My Dad retired from MLG&W for 30 years. He probably knew Mr Lanum. Dad retired from there years ago too.
I caught it at the other end of 44B. ua-cam.com/video/YuOtWasEouM/v-deo.html

How fantastic...got to see them actually play! They look like they’re enjoying it too... nice & tight R&B band. Who could imagine where and how it would take them...and us. Thanks for this bit of wonder
1) I absolutely love young George Harrison! 2) Great shot of Ringo on the last song! 3) loved how the emcee was so into the music
I cant understand them☹️
Would you like anything translated?
What amazing footage!! Thank you for posting!!
The camera work is maddening at times. Great video, though.
Your children are no longer under your control!
Woah this is monumental! You see the past and the future collide in a stark comparison showing, in context, The Beatles pop culture tsunami as it rolled over everything which came before.
A classic prank call by Bad Dog and Rock 103. Why did they censor all the colorful profanity by Mr. Lanum? I think we've been robbed.
I had a friend whose uncle worked for Rock 103 when I was a teenager. He had a cassette of the uncensored version. I bet we listened to it a thousand times!
@@jasongoad1084 You’re a lucky man if you were able to listen to it uncensored. They’re just words, what are people so afraid of? Can you imagine the army telling General George Patton sir you cannot use any profanity! :)
I'm amazed that SpaceX lets people pass their rocket convoys. It's the closest to a Falcon-9 that we will ever get.
You can stand right in front of one at their headquarters in CA.
What a cutie! Dachshunds rule☺😙💖
I live in Memphis. Bad Dog was so good at these calls!!!
Are they going to use any other color of condoms for these things or just black ones?
At that size, they only make them in black.
A Tesla tractor isn't pulling that? Why?......not enough power to pull it?
A Tesla tractor could easily pull the trailer, but they aren't out yet, except for one or two experimental test vehicles. And the video is a year old. You think Elon Musk has a time machine or something? Never mind, don't answer that.
I am trying to download your book (I have a hard copy) to Note 9 so I don't have to carry the book on our trip, I live in Florida and they are telling me, on Google Book, the ebook isn't available in my country (USA). I just want to have the infor on my phone - how doi do that?????
0:38 OVERSIZED LOAD sticker on back. Me: hmm. thanks sign.
Waffle Person Me: ummmm, kind of the law.
It’s cool that SpaceX doesn’t keep it secret but shows the people on the road to see. I imagine people’s reactions to this.
Wyatt B it’s absolutely amazing, on the route from California to Cape Canaveral it goes through our small little town every time and I am super into space. It’s a truly amazing sight.

Yes, it was Gary: ua-cam.com/video/ajpsfxdvP34/v-deo.html I saw it as well and thought the same thing...beam, bridge, etc for the 429 expansion. I also remember thinking that it should have been moved in the middle of the night for less traffic, no matter what it was!
Amazing！！！Proud of Space X
Some days, Big John just got me through. Miss this guy.
I feel the same way. He was fantastic!
The only reason I can think for using HWY 441, which I often drive on, is that someone is moving a rocket from Alabama to Cape Canaveral and either took this route because there were no low bridges ( a major reason for transportation of large objects) or they relied on Google's shortest routing?
FiscalRangersFlorida SpaceX doesn't have a facility in Alabama. They build the rockets in California, and test in Texas.
Routes are decided when the company hauling places a request for a oversize permit. Then the company/person driving must stick to the assigned route, which comes with the permit. Has nothing to do with the driver choosing anything. They also in "some" states depending on size have certain hours they can haul in. Which is why you'll see oversize loads parked in rest areas at night and by some large cities during rush hour. I once talked to a guy hauling an empty trailer back to Houston to apparently get another load which he said was going to be a record load hauled. The "empty" trailer he was pulling took up two lanes of the road and they always had those are what called escort vehicles permanently assigned to him, along with a maintenance vehicle. Not only did it take up to lanes empty. It could be opened sideways almost to twice it's width. And could hook up to extension of trailers for extended length. His trailer was possibly 35 yrds long. I think he was going to hook up to one or two more extension to be maybe 75 yrds or something. This was like 13-15 years ago so can't recall precisely. But when he left the asphalt road he went down left no room to pass. He also said when hauling that the loads were usually too heavy to be hauled on the highways and interstate. So they used dirt roads. And in some cases when they come to a bridge, they'd have to build roads around the bridges. Google doesn't have that type of routing. 😸 I think I added up close to 75-100 tires on the trailer he was pulling. Which had 8 tires per axle. 4 to a side. A lot of freaking tires. Which is when I asked him if he checked his tires daily. And that's when he told me about the maintenance vehicle permanently assigned to his rig.
Bridge avoidance route
Awesome!
Good observation! This is definetly a Falcon Heavy side booster for the maiden flight later this year
Good job!

Nobody did prank calls like Bad Dog!
I don't suppose you have the one where they did Hoosiers in Russia. I was in it! What happened to Rick? He was my partner in Joe's video prod class.I got a lot of shit for doing a b&w video back then along with a crappy grade. Thanks a lot fuckers!
Did you hear any banjos?
Like the basement in Silence of the Lambs but not fiction. Beatings conducted by law "enforcement". This was not that long ago. Do we really believe racism is over because a man with African (but not slave) ancestry was elected president? See also Slavery by Another Name by Douglas A. Blackmon and Without Sanctuary: Lynching Photography in America.
highlandsh So. What do you think now after 5 years? Also do you find it ironic that the son of Willis McCall got arrested in 2018 for child molestation? Nothing good could have spawned from that evil vile man.
