00:00:01.093 --> 00:00:04.649
Morning, everyone. It's your boy, Cisco Adler here, Malibu, California.

2
00:00:05.299 --> 00:00:09.854
We're on the pier, and I'm about to show you some of my favorite spots, starting with the Malibu Farm Cafe.

3
00:00:10.196 --> 00:00:12.216
Make sure you do one thing when you're here -- enjoy.

4
00:00:15.783 --> 00:00:18.248
All right, here we are at the wonderful Malibu Farm Cafe,

5
00:00:18.729 --> 00:00:24.834
where we're gonna get served up some organic farm-to-plate treats and some good vibes. So, come on.

6
00:00:25.703 --> 00:00:30.762
Here we go, some quinoa oatmeal with almond milk, I believe, you know what I mean?

7
00:00:30.988 --> 00:00:34.359
I'm trying to keep it healthy. This is, after all, Malibu in Los Angeles.

8
00:00:36.571 --> 00:00:42.109
Oh, wow. Yeah. That's real, you know what I mean. You might wanna come and experience this for yourself.

9
00:00:42.109 --> 00:00:48.988
We are at Surfrider Beach in Malibu, California. I think if you buy a postcard of California, this beach may be on it.

10
00:00:49.749 --> 00:00:53.452
So, we are at the epicenter of California surf culture.

11
00:01:02.415 --> 00:01:07.988
You know, people from all over the world come here to grab a little taste of California, and it's my back yard.

12
00:01:07.978 --> 00:01:11.311
So, I'd be a fool not to use it. So, I try to get out in the water every time I can.

13
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:21.840
Living in Malibu is interesting 'cause, you know, it's... they say it's 27 miles of scenic backstabbing.

14
00:01:23.105 --> 00:01:26.812
It's a very small town. There's one road. Everyone knows everyone's business.

15
00:01:26.694 --> 00:01:30.773
So, there's, you know, the beautiful small town feel about it.

16
00:01:30.837 --> 00:01:36.796
But then we're 20 minutes away from one of the craziest cities in the world, and if you get an itch, you can go scratch it.

17
00:01:42.907 --> 00:01:45.636
So, this is Montana Avenue in Santa Monica.

18
00:01:45.770 --> 00:01:52.324
This is the Aero Theater. It's been around since 1939, and I've come here over the years. It's a special place.

19
00:01:54.289 --> 00:02:00.031
And there's a smell that movie theaters get. I used to be an usher in a movie theater through high school on the East Coast.

20
00:02:00.577 --> 00:02:06.456
And you get the smell of the butter, the popcorn, the sticky floor. It still has that.

21
00:02:06.647 --> 00:02:12.448
For this place, they wanna be able to screen film prints, which is another thing that you don't really get to see that much anymore.

22
00:02:12.640 --> 00:02:16.404
Here you get a sense of history. And we live at a moment where that's all gonna change.

23
00:02:17.249 --> 00:02:20.898
We're right at the cusp of it disappearing. And it's nice that you have this.

24
00:02:20.829 --> 00:02:23.194
So, this is more of a museum than a theater, really.

25
00:02:23.526 --> 00:02:26.749
So, here we are. We're in the parking lot of the Brig on Abbot Kinney in Venice.

26
00:02:27.068 --> 00:02:30.154
This is kind of where the whole food truck thing started.

27
00:02:31.170 --> 00:02:35.702
Over there's the Kogi taco truck. He started the whole food truck movement.

28
00:02:36.761 --> 00:02:40.986
Here's the man, Roy Choi. The first time I ate his food we were on Iron Man 2.

29
00:02:41.027 --> 00:02:41.637
Thank you.

30
00:02:41.821 --> 00:02:45.557
It's a really simple menu, you know. Like, it's just tacos, burritos and quesadillas.

31
00:02:45.835 --> 00:02:50.340
What I like about this truck is that you eat one meal here and you get the whole taste of L.A.

32
00:02:52.048 --> 00:02:55.602
Hello. My name is Lubov Azria and I want to welcome you to my L.A.

33
00:02:55.949 --> 00:02:59.289
Melrose Trading [Post] is one of the most exciting places for me.

34
00:02:59.383 --> 00:03:04.477
Rain or shine, it's here and you come here and it's just a merge of different cultures.

35
00:03:04.785 --> 00:03:07.103
Look at everything around you.

36
00:03:07.184 --> 00:03:12.577
Everything's on the Internet. You can find things, but to really find something unique, you need to go out of your way.

37
00:03:12.953 --> 00:03:20.952
And I think the market here really gives you a very unique assortment of different pieces that you would not find anywhere else.

38
00:03:21.396 --> 00:03:29.018
So, this pier is the last of the coastal amusement parks that are based on an actual pier.

39
00:03:29.040 --> 00:03:33.905
These piers, over the... this is about 100 years old, this pier. I think [in] 1919 it was built.

40
00:03:34.651 --> 00:03:42.366
So, for people who say that L.A. is superficial and doesn't have a history, you know, I think you just have to look a little deeper and find out what's exciting about it.

41
00:03:44.959 --> 00:03:51.746
I've included this pier in a lot of things I've done and I've, you know, I had Iron Man flying past that Ferris wheel.

42
00:03:52.258 --> 00:03:56.898
And I had... in Chef, on the roller coaster and even on Swingers, we're down on that beach.

43
00:03:59.176 --> 00:04:03.749
California is... there's a sense that people come here and they leave where they're from.

44
00:04:04.228 --> 00:04:10.256
And so it becomes more about the people and about what you build here, about where you settle down, where you choose to go.

45
00:04:11.590 --> 00:04:17.810
The city itself doesn't have a strong enough personality for you to become a part of it.

46
00:04:17.953 --> 00:04:21.411
You kind of have to make your own way. And everybody's experience here is very different.
