2:01
this pipe here so I was recently
2:04
watching Dirty Harry now last time I was
2:06
in town I went on the stairs in here it
2:08
was used in the very end of Raiders of
2:10
the Lost Ark with Harrison Ford
2:12
but is also used the Clint Eastwood
2:14
movie dirty hair walk in there real
2:16
quick before we get going it's a lot of
2:18
some steam there and they're doing a
2:20
doing a photo session here at the kind
2:22
of the foreground so I'm not gonna walk
2:24
up the stairs there's some wedding
2:27
photos so I don't want to block anyone
2:29
that's getting their photos but this is
2:30
the very famous staircase right here
2:40
pretty impressive
2:40
oh the clock just turned noon
2:44
it's got the mayor from 1931's name up
2:47
there
2:58
I love that they have Abraham Lincoln
2:58
right here out front
3:00
Abraham Lincoln here
3:07
all right we're gonna head over towards
3:07
the Painted Ladies
3:27
all right
3:27
pretty excited about seeing these this
3:30
is something I've always wanted to see
3:31
for a long time
3:43
crossing over Paige
3:43
very hilly area through here
3:55
lots of hills there are coyotes
3:55
San Francisco Parkland is important
3:57
habitat for several hundred species of
3:59
wildlife including coyotes coyotes are
4:02
commonly seen
4:03
in this area and there's a lot of people
4:06
up here taking photos of painted ladies
4:10
which are behind me so I'm going to go
4:12
up here before I can turn around and get
4:13
the vehicle all the way to the top of
4:15
the hill just like
4:17
dozens of people with their cameras
4:20
take it selfies taking photos
4:33
that is pretty dang cool
4:33
I can see why they use this because she
4:34
got the skyline off in the distance
4:36
right there
4:50
very beautiful very scenic
4:50
downtown way over there side of this
4:53
hill
5:00
I walk over there in a minute
5:00
check out the stoop
5:03
how many times have you been to the spot
5:04
you think
5:06
um not as much as you'd think probably
5:08
only maybe a handful of times it's kind
5:10
of away from a lot of stuff it's not
5:12
really like in downtown yeah
5:20
let's say it's probably one of the more
5:20
popular tourist destinations though as
5:21
far as Pop Culture
5:23
goes people probably think of the
5:25
Painted Ladies you know not just for
5:27
Full House but just to paint ladies in
5:28
general
5:29
very iconic San Francisco landmark
5:33
this and the Golden Gate Bridge what
5:35
would be the other ones Alcatraz
5:37
Alcatraz
5:39
we're in the general vicinity the
5:41
neighborhood of Kimmy Gibbler oh yeah
5:44
Kevin Gibbler would have been in these
5:45
parts too yeah oh all the Tanners and
5:48
Tanner's friends how could Joey and
5:50
Jesse the whole the whole the whole crew
5:52
the whole game it was all here
6:05
a fun fact the very first season
6:05
when they did the intro for it the cast
6:07
was not even here in San Francisco in
6:09
fact they filmed a lot of it in Griffith
6:12
Park over near Walt's Carousel and that
6:14
whole area and then they use extras
6:16
playing Bob Saget and the girls and then
6:20
they use them from showing them from
6:22
behind so they didn't even come here
6:24
until after the first season
6:26
and then they eventually show back up
6:28
and did some of the intros here in town
6:35
and don't they did rebuild the replica
6:35
house on the W oh yeah they did sitting
6:38
there for a fuller house the WB lot
6:42
in Burbank is where they recreated the
6:46
second one over which is now the blue
6:48
the bluish hue
6:50
so if I never saw Fuller house I saw a
6:52
lot of Full House but I never watched
6:54
Fuller house yeah I mean no Olsens no
6:58
Olsen free was the uh the Fuller house
7:00
yeah never saw that never saw that show
7:03
but I did I did like full house there's
7:04
the park over there oh look at that look
7:07
at that that's how you know we're not
7:09
too far
7:11
from Hay Street the hippie bus
7:14
going by
7:16
now I grew up on TGIF Full House was the
7:19
first one at seven and then 7 30 was
7:22
always Family Matters then perfect
7:24
strangers then after that they had
7:26
another one and later the
7:28
the progression of TGIF the Incarnation
7:31
says it went on ended up having step by
7:34
step which was great I think my favorite
7:36
of the original TGIF lineup was perfect
7:38
strangers followed by Perfect her family
7:41
matters I should say followed by perfect
7:42
strangers but I did have a small soft
7:45
spot for her Full House
8:05
ooh they do guided tours
8:05
until May 2nd but they don't resume
8:09
after July 15th me at the bottom of the
8:11
stairs just show up twenty dollars a
8:13
person
8:14
wait a second
8:16
is this happening now
8:21
until May 2nd tours will resume after
8:21
July 15th 20 a person
8:29
just wait right here
8:29
we can go in we go in the house what in
8:32
the name of heck yes take my twenty
8:35
dollars each
8:40
I was just in New York a couple months
8:40
ago and I got
8:42
I got a photo on the stoop of The Cosby
8:45
Show house which is another one I grew
8:47
up with so I think I might take a photo
8:49
right here on the stoop of the Full
8:51
House house
8:53
what is my life right now
9:03
all right we have decided not to do the
9:03
tour it's a 75-minute tour when they
9:07
finally come out so we have so much to
9:08
do today and they didn't film inside the
9:10
house it was on a set would be neat to
9:12
see inside the house but an hour and a
9:14
half tour we got other stuff to do but
9:16
pretty cool that the owners are actually
9:17
giving tours of the inside of the house
9:19
even though we didn't film anything
9:20
inside the house pretty awesome
9:24
thanks
9:34
I don't want you parking in front of the
9:34
house
9:36
I think there was a I think there was a
9:38
clip of John Stamos here and no one
9:40
recognized that it was John Stamos in
9:43
front of the house
9:48
people were taking photos and they asked
9:48
them to like take a picture of them in
9:50
front of the house and then later I
9:51
think he posts something online about it
9:54
at least maybe I just made that up in my
9:56
own mind but I think I saw something
9:57
like that
10:02
it happened to Gary Oldman at uh
10:02
Wizarding World in front of three
10:05
broomsticks right yeah in front of his
10:07
sign people were like oh can you get out
10:08
of the way you want to take a photo of
10:09
your wanted side
10:11
it should also be noted I was looking
10:12
online that the close-ups of the house
10:15
are over on another street called
10:17
Broderick Street
10:19
again they did not film inside the house
10:21
but when you're seeing it zoomed in and
10:23
panned out from that intro
10:25
it was the blue house right there and
10:28
also up on the hill from season four
10:30
intro where they were having the picnic
10:32
move up there match that up also there's
10:34
an angle of the whole family
10:36
they were kind of farther back up the
10:38
hill so they could get that
10:40
the view of the skyline
10:42
off in the distance
10:46
it's right about here
10:48
on the picnic blanket a join a picnic
10:55
couldn't have to go too far from their
11:02
nice
11:02
whatever happened to predictability the
11:06
Milkman The Paperboy
11:08
is that even MTV even in TV I never know
11:11
if they said even MTV or even on TV all
11:14
I know is predictability yeah I know the
11:17
Milkman and The Paperboy and something
11:19
about TV yeah I always thought I always
11:22
interpret it as even MTV
11:25
everywhere you look everywhere you go
11:28
sirens
11:30
I would probably wager that Mary Kate
11:33
and Ashley have never been back here
11:35
just just a hunch yeah
11:38
yeah they don't really remember that
11:39
show too no not they were they were they
11:41
were very young they were very very
11:42
young
11:46
maybe though
11:46
I don't know let's say we could like sit
11:47
here having a picnic right
11:49
what's your favorite non Full House Mary
11:51
Kate and Ashley moment entertainment
11:53
thing like movie-wise movie Wise air TV
11:56
or anything
11:57
movie-wise oh let's talk through some of
12:00
my classics
12:01
um I would probably say our lips are
12:02
sealed probably my favorite and then TV
12:04
show would be so little time or two of a
12:07
kind that's a little time I was obsessed
12:09
with when I read the books wow you know
12:10
a lot of a lot of them I was a huge
12:12
American Ashley was that the tagline
12:14
yeah for their TV show when they're in
12:16
the little detective coats after this
12:17
their tagline at the end was they can
12:19
solve any crime by dinner time that's
12:21
pretty good yeah they did Colombo
12:24
couldn't even solve every crime by
12:25
identify sometimes he had to go home to
12:27
Mrs Columbo and discuss and then come
12:29
back and eventually get the the criminal
12:32
to confess Mary Kate and Ashley open
12:34
they solved every crime by dinner time
12:35
yeah
12:38
plumber Olsen now walking over
12:41
get a turkey sandwich
12:44
my hearing is one of the best turkey
12:45
sandwiches ever world famous
12:48
world famous turkey sandwich
13:05
this car right here has no one in it not
13:05
a passenger not a driver
13:17
it's a ghost car
13:17
it is weird just seeing a car driving
13:20
around with not a soul in it
13:27
future
13:27
all right getting ready to cross
13:30
Fulton on you pronounce it arguella
13:32
arguela
13:37
a little bit of a hike from where we
13:37
were
13:38
gonna be worth it gets some tasty
13:41
sandwiches in our mouths
13:48
turkey sub
13:48
bicycle right there at the cafe it's not
13:51
going to be the Bella Rouge Cafe though
13:56
her neighborhood grocer the arguella
13:59
market classic truck alert out front
14:03
this is it
14:04
was highly recommended Yeah so basically
14:07
it's just a it's a deli counter at a
14:10
Grocers a grocery liquor meat Deli all
14:13
that home of the world famous turkey
14:15
sandwiches they have it promoted all
14:17
over inside and outside and we both got
14:20
exactly the same thing I would
14:21
definitely order for me just because
14:23
she's eaten here many many times she
14:24
used to live here and then also came
14:25
back to visit
14:27
one with the turkey it definitely has
14:29
like that style of turkey almost like a
14:32
leftover Thanksgiving sandwich where you
14:34
have the Thanksgiving turkey and then
14:36
you make Leftovers on the bread later
14:38
except this is like a much High much
14:40
more intense and better version of that
14:44
so like a highlighted version of it so
14:46
take that and then magnify it to the uh
14:48
to the next degree is the uh the style I
14:52
guess the best way to describe
14:53
the world famous turkey sandwich I think
14:56
we ended up sitting outside on the
14:59
tables outside
15:04
also got some chips that were really
15:04
good that are nice little tie in I was
15:06
served on a certain kind of bread that's
15:08
specifically known to this area right
15:09
yeah it doesn't
15:11
crunchy Dutch crunch bread yeah
15:14
it's made here in San Francisco I think
15:17
I'm pretty sure it was like started here
15:19
but I've only seen it here and in other
15:22
San francisco-based sandwich shop
15:24
yeah it's pretty good and it was a
15:26
Sourdough it was non-sourdough Dutch
15:28
Dutch crunch bread yeah it's
15:32
top of the bread is what makes it so
15:34
special like it has that I don't even
15:36
know it's just so good it was all good
15:41

I haven't
19:51
we could climb over it
19:53
hey
19:54
but yeah I'm not going to
20:01
one of the things I really like about
20:01
this area
20:02
San Francisco in general are just the
20:04
layers of houses
20:06
going up the side of the big hill
20:10
just so beautiful
20:12
look at that
20:13
just layer after layer Street after
20:15
Street of houses go off the top of the
20:51
it's all about the ambiance
20:51
all right there it is the ferris wheel
20:54
here in the park
21:02
making our way past the fountain here
21:02
well up to the fountain
21:04
I'm gonna go grab a
21:06
ticket or two from the ferris wheel
21:10
or to the Ferris
21:12
wheels
21:20
the sky star rolling Across America is
21:20
what the slogan says yeah you get a
21:21
really good view over there you see the
21:23
fog kind of rolling in off in the
21:26
distance and even more fog rolling and
21:29
the roof of the science center is very
21:30
unique looking with the grass the living
21:32
called living roof over there a living
21:34
room a sculpture right here there's a
21:38
stage over there where someone's
21:39
performing off in the distance you can
21:41
kind of see it
21:43
well
21:54
it's only been open a few years right
21:54
2018 or 2019
22:24
there are windows in here that you can
22:24
pull down right here and let some air in
22:32
this little airflow
22:32
okay my nose up there
22:42
brown legs over this is like our fourth
22:42
time going yeah so for your price this
22:44
is not too shabby I thought we're about
22:45
to get off I was like getting my bag
22:46
ready to get up and everything but we're
22:48
still gone yeah I think we're going to
22:51
get four or five top spins around yeah
22:52
this is our fourth fourth spin
23:00
yeah and it's only about like three or
23:00
four stops away and then you're right
23:02
here it's pretty cool
23:03
very interesting what are those like
23:05
solar panels on top of the roof over
23:07
there top of the grass section of the
23:08
roof uh there's skylights skylights okay
23:13
look at that fog rolling in over there
23:15
there's just like no joke
23:17
fog Galore
