1:47
would ever be visiting a vacuum-cleaner
1:50
museum
2:01
a lot of these do look like the
2:01
traditional style but then some of them
2:04
are very futuristic for the time period
2:09
the Electrolux this one down here
2:13
resembles like a crock pot on wheels
2:17

8-track cassette and shag carpeting

2:34
this is what they were utilizing in that
2:37
era the 1930s if you were to have one of

4:30
trail see you next time it's bit what
4:33
wait a second see putti approaching what
4:37
looks to be guess it's a roadside
4:41
attraction some teepees here yeah some
4:44
teepees
5:16
very strict no filming policy indoors
5:16
they did allow some pictures from
5:18
outside but once we set foot inside the
5:22
gift shop no cameras allowed huge chunks
5:26
of rocks to the left Park train to the
5:30
right and some grain silos straight
5:34
ahead that's it the st. Louis Gateway
5:38
Arch gonna cross something off my bucket
5:42
list today I'm about to go up inside
5:47
that ever since I was a kid I wondered
5:51
what it would be like to go up way up
5:54
there inside this iconic structure it is
6:05
happening good oh man that's up there
6:05
you have to go underground before you
6:08
can get on the elevator to take you to
6:10
all the way the tip-top
6:30
the answer is
6:30
we are basically two full stories under
6:33
the surface of the earth we have to wait
6:37
for we have to wait for everyone else to
6:40
exit and then we're going to make way
6:43
into our pod
6:49
go again
6:49
we're going in
7:08
there's no Larry oh we're moving we're
7:08
moving it might be hard to gauge it from
7:10
the video but this thing is shifting to
7:12
and fro and down here are the old stairs
7:15
before they have the elevator system you
7:18
just have to walk up to the top this is
7:20
quite quite an experience what the heck
7:24
whatever you do don't look
7:28
taou rapidly increasing speed we're
7:34
going slow at first and our like we're
7:36
really moving kicking it into high gear
7:40
as we go up we're not going straight up
7:42
we're going like up and they kind of had
7:44
an ankle it's kind of awkward sensation
7:47
a normal elevator goes completely
7:49
90-degree angles straight up this is
7:52
going like kind of perpendicular in a
7:54
way
8:02
something out of the Twilight but swear
8:02
looking like this thing is like this
8:04
little pod like we're the space pod
8:07
hey shiftable you doing all right back
8:10
to bed correct just - it fro
8:12
doesn't stay level they're just kind of
8:15
like I can't even know how to school
8:17
feel that yes
8:21
it's like being on the end of a gimbal
8:22
yeah oh we've stopped stopped what
8:26
shifted it shifts it now what now what
8:29
now what now what now what oh there we
8:31
go over again oh come to the top of the
8:34
Gateway cars everyone please watch their
8:36
step addressed the turning concert
8:37
headed up the stairs they are unevenly
8:39
faced when you get to the top please
8:41
continue past the first four windows so
8:43
that everyone else does B we thought
8:44
that he hasn't theirs as well oh my gosh
8:46
we made it we made it we made it
8:50
let's take a peek let's take yeah you
8:54
totally can't look at this you can see
8:56
everything from up here
8:58
the thing that's slightly terrifying is
9:00
I'm standing pretty much on a stable
9:02
platform when you lean over you're
9:04
actually dangling over the edge to get a
9:07
bird's-eye view
9:09
Oh like I kept my stomach is like Hall
9:14
that's scary
9:17
630 feet above the ground
9:28
oh I'm just noticing there is a step up
9:28
so you put a foot here you put another
9:31
foot here and that gives you the angle
9:34
to basically look down and if you really
9:38
pay attention you can see the pillar
9:41
look that's how far I'm hanging up
9:44
that's the that's the archway itself I'm
9:47
standing in the archway but I'm looking
9:50
at the archway this is a
9:53
kind of scary moseying back down to our
9:56
station they told us to wait at number
9:59
eight which is at the very bottom we'll
10:02
take the elevator back down or as I am
10:06
now gonna refer to it as the wonkavator
10:10
I knew I shouldn't have drank that fizzy
10:12
lifting drink Grampa Joe help me grab
10:16
Joe
10:35
just simply look around that's enough
10:35
I should also mention there's no air
10:37
conditioning in this heart it's just
10:39
slightly just a little bit on the toasty
10:42
side open cool air oh heck yeah I did it
10:48
I stood right up there just to give some
10:54
perspective the Washington Monument is
10:57
555 feet tall Mount Rushmore 465 and
11:04
towering above them is the arch it's big
11:10
it even has its own root beer
11:14
nice or take-home a miniaturised version
11:17
I don't think it has the same the same
11:20
effect however that's yes not not as
11:25
impressive as I think about what I've
11:26
done outdoors looking upward can barely
11:32
see barely you have to have a keen eye
11:35
to see the windows that I was perching
11:38
out of oh man that was an experienced
11:42
one I'm very glad to have done that's
