How beautiful :) what an amazing guy, he's so sweet ❤️ it's nice to see people like him in this crazy world, he makes it a little brighter :)

[@OddityOdysseys]

He is such a great human being! We can't wait to see him expand his vision and how the place will look in a few more years. :)

[@brandonmckissic8816]

I liked this so much. Really it amazes me what Randy has built here with his own two hands. Loved the water coming over the glass. Also enjoyed his personality! He's so proud and loved showing off his work as well as explaining how the light plays on the glass at different times of the day. Great shots, editing and music, too!

[@roxanavelasco6040]

It reminded me of the Watts tower's somewhat. Beautiful ideas from beautiful minds. I love this. 💖

[@mikieson]

i love to see peoples visions and see them happy about creating.Thanks for the video.

[@mikebettencourt8377]

Wow. Amazing local art. Have to go and see it now.

[@gerryh6861]

This was a joy to watch.

[@tsuemcmahon9118]

How precious this man who lives to bring joy to others through unusual beauty. As always, fantastic episode!

[@LetYrLiteShine]

You two do such great work. Can't wait to see more!

[@Wolfspirit50]

Beth & Drew, This is really an Awesome video and while watching this, it really brought a sense of joy, happiness, and just some really good feelings. Something that I don't experience very often. This was very refreshing and uplifting in my heart. I look forward to your next video. Thank You

[@brillblonde6705]

What a great, entertaining episode! I would love to see this in person and meet Randy. It makes me happy to see this guy's creativity, and it's so beautiful, too. Loved the interview with his wife, as well. They seem like real, down to earth people. It was so generous the way he showed you in and talked to you about his art. Excellent! I had fun!!!!!!!! :))

[@miguelbasa3010]

I just stumbled on one of your videos and I just start liking them I wish you create more videos and hope more power for you guys.

[@SummerGayle]

Beautiful! So great.

[@lauriewarner4848]

Love this place! Thanks guys!

[@boxborolad]

Interesting. Randy is a character. So many of your adventures go to places that are abandoned or with no human interaction. Randy makes this one extra special!

[@OddityOdysseys]

Randy is wonderful! We were so grateful he welcomed us into his home. Thanks for watching :)

[@gordybishop2375]

We so need more light and color in life, thanks for sharing

[@janetgasman3784]

What an amazing and talented man! I can only begin to imagine all the hard work involved in creating his dream. Wow....very good episode!!! :)

[@MikeBaxterABC]

Well I have to agree 100% with Randy ... Bethany is TOTALY Adorable!!! :)

[@davidbedsole176]

Refreshingly nice couple!

[@rockytop228]

Wowza!! This is so unbelievable!! You guys completely blow me away each week with your "new" discoveries!!! I ❤️ Randyland!!! And I love Oddity Odysseys!!

[@OddityOdysseys]

Thank you so much! :)

[@kevinkinney5445]

That is totally awesome. Thanks for turning me on to this. I love you two, you make a great couple

[@briansmith9439]

Great piece. I lived in Echo Park for a decade beginning in 2000 and I recall there being a 'glass' garden in the area; I think it was all empty bottles. I know I visited it once; wish I had taken some pics of the place.

[@PresidentialOGkush]

I said it before, I say it again. Most underrated channel on KZbin. Hope y'all don't give up with all the BS going regarding ad revenue. I suggest starting a gofundme account, I'd be more than happy to donate.🍻

[@OddityOdysseys]

Thank you so much for all the encouragement. :) We have said from the beginning that we'll continue to make episodes and any ad revenue from youtube, etc. is just an added bonus. We do have a Patreon where people are more than welcome to donate $1/month. Any help would be much appreciated! Especially for the stuff we're trying to pull off for season three. www.patreon.com/oddityodysseys

[@Aeowyth]

another awesome episode guys! This is definitely going on my "To Do" list for my next visit to LA!

[@OddityOdysseys]

Awesome! Hopefully that trip is soon :)

[@rjr1227]

Pretty cool......thank you for going there

[@fatimamajed3533]

Wowww creative 👌🙏💐

[@theathjr]

New Subscriber ! Great Video. I love the added interaction with the artist. Great Video !

[@angelpadilla5472]

It's 1:30am and im enjoying this video 😊

[@OddityOdysseys]

Don't miss you on sleep, guys!!!! But thank you! You rock. :)

[@mickeysplane7980]

Terrific video!

[@nadiemequire]

How quirky, so L.A. Love it.

[@THEDEVIL-eh8hc]

Randy is amazing

[@peteterrill2329]

Phantasmaglorious! (Someone had to write that!)

[@OddityOdysseys]

Haha! Good call, sir! :)

[@bruceanderson7762]

Hey guy proud of your spelling

[@tedwpx123]

Great video, wonderful work

[@BeyondTheCompass817]

I had to brew a pot of coffee and snag some donuts before I settled in to watch this video and I'm glad I did! Very well made and you have mad editing skillz. I thought it was a nice departure from the norm where the focus wasn't just on the location and it's history, but the human side of the story. I think you captured the passion he has for this project and his personality fits the artwork. My only question is did he ever receive any hassle from the city over this structure? Anyway, great video and I look forward to next Saturday morning ;)

[@OddityOdysseys]

Thank you, friend! It was definitely a unique experience since it was both about the structure and the person. He never seemed to receive hassle for the city, he's always been brilliant and safe about building. Hopefully he'll have a few things to respond once he sees the video himself :)

[@joet2459]

Dang can’t wait to pass by one day 🤙🏼

[@randlettlawrence1022]

fantastic!!!

[@tonymac4044]

I'm staying up until you post tonight's video!!! Can't wait!!!!

[@john-paulnagel2732]

Have to check it out

[@worthiemeacham9443]

Awesome thank you

[@moonspots01]

Like Randlett, I too enjoy your adorable company. :)

[@tonymac4044]

Another excellent video!!! Nice guy and he put a lot of work into his awesome project!!!! I would just hate to be one of his neighbors !!!!!

[@OddityOdysseys]

We actually spoke to a few of his neighbors and they all love it! Thanks for watching :)

[@tonymac4044]

I had to watch it again and I will say this, he's put a lot of time and labor in this project!!!! It is very creative and really a work of art!!!

[@MartyInLa]

I love this guy's energy and his plans. He's lucky he doesn't have an evil neighbor like the guy who built the Boney Island Treehouse in Sherman Oaks does.

[@bruceanderson7762]

Ya should have seen the Cjaholi(sp) exhibit at Desert Botanical Gardena in Phoenix.. wow!

[@garattyfisher]

You guys are awesome. If you want massive glass sculptures, head out to see Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch on National Trails Highway(Route 66) in Oro Grande. Now that's a sight.

[@OddityOdysseys]

Thank you so much for the tip! We're always looking for new places to check out :)

[@garattyfisher]

Oddity Odysseys absolutely love to help you guys. Also if you go to Elmers Bottle Tree Ranch, you are likely to meet Elmer and include him in your content. It would be cool to know his story.

[@garattyfisher]

Oddity Odysseys hello again. A few more ideas for the both of you...Devils Gate down from JPL in La Cañada and Cobb Estate in Altadena. Both of which should have cool backstories to them.

[@OddityOdysseys]

Don't want to spoil anything from season three....but make sure you stick around. You don't be disappointed. :)

[@garattyfisher]

Oddity Odysseys you guys have been putting up great vids. You two have been my new obsession andI've seen all your videos in a few hours time. I'm sure the next season will be killer.

[@wolfiuhmmm]

First time I’ve ever seen Bethany drive

[@818mega]

Damn you guys this is wonderful I didn't know this existed

[@OddityOdysseys]

So glad we could shed a little light on this amazing place :) Thank you!

[@Jimmyxsx]

awesome video, make a video about the salvation mountain.

[@OddityOdysseys]

On the list! :)

[@Jimmyxsx]

Awesome 🖒

[@anjachan]

a little bananas LOL 🍌

[@mermaidreefer2423]

This reminds me of the movie spy kid from the 90’s feat Rosie O’Donnell

[@MrShobar]

She's right. People don't write as often as they should. +5.

[@deezynar]

You didn't ask him if he owns Randy's Donuts.

[@JockJamJesus]

this location was depicted in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

[@THEDEVIL-eh8hc]

On what side

[@221b-Maker-Street]

I can't help but let out a childish snigger every time I see an American called Randy. But there to be a place called... _Randyland?_ 🤣 (We use randy like Americans say horny 😳). Otherwise, this is a lovely video, and a beautiful sight.

[@RafaelHabegger]

dat guy is like adam savage, just saying
