0:17
welcome everyone Adam the
0:17
woo here in the parking structure of the
0:20
hotel I am staying at
0:22
I'm heading over to Venice Beach
0:23
possibly Santa Monica that's all I know
0:26
for now meeting up with some friends hey
0:30
just see where the day goes no real game
0:32
plan other than that who knows where the
0:35
road may lead here in SoCal but it'll
0:38
probably be around Venice Santa Monica
0:40
Hollywood those areas Jordan
0:43
it's good to be back in L.A Charlie and
0:48
it wouldn't quite be the LA experience
0:50
without some
0:52
gridlock in traffic
0:54
in some ways I kind of like it
0:56
just sits it's the whole vibe out here
0:58
with the with the traffic all right I
1:00
parked my rental car over here at this
1:02
30 a day lot it was two twenty dollars
1:06
for four hours but on how long I'm gonna
1:07
be here there was some street parking
1:09
but you just never know how street
1:11
parking works and how
1:12
your car is also speaking of cars
1:15
classic
1:16
car alert right here
1:27
mural up here got a tennis ball it's
1:27
like there's a shoe it's like a tennis
1:29
racket over here
1:30
sometimes I'll choose
1:32
uh just a sometimes with Street it comes
1:34
with street parking you just never know
1:36
on how your vehicle is you just don't
1:38
want someone to smash the window out and
1:40
when you're not like used to an area
1:42
sometimes it's better to just find a lot
1:44
that's
1:48
there's a lot over there there's someone
1:48
watching it so I just kind of go with
1:50
kind of go with my my uh my gut on that
1:52
one now they have the street blocked
1:54
over here they're gonna be doing some
1:55
sort of a stage show happening they got
1:57
the stanchions all up and there is that
1:59
iconic Venice Beach
2:02
sign dangling across the road here
2:05
dangling across Pacific and the corner
2:08
of windward
2:10
I've been down here in a while
2:12
I always like Venice Beach in Santa
2:14
Monica I just like the
2:16
I don't know the vibe of it just so it's
2:18
it's like nowhere else back in the day
2:20
Venice Beach used to be really cool with
2:22
these like uh I mean it's still pretty
2:23
cool now but definitely the architecture
2:25
was a lot different back then with these
2:26
like Archway walk-throughs in fact there
2:28
was a movie filmed out here called Touch
2:29
of Evil which I've covered in the past
2:31
but that's what it used to look like
2:32
through this little little stretch oh
2:34
dang I could have got parking for ten
2:36
dollars down there I'm not sure if it's
2:37
full but I paid a little bit more than
2:39
ten dollars so ten dollars here near the
2:41
metal V over there yeah I guess I could
2:45
have paid a little bit less if I would
2:46
have searched a little harder I'll know
2:47
for next time maybe next time I will uh
2:51
okay I'll do the ten dollar parking if
2:53
it might be full so maybe who knows the
2:55
icon of Venice Beach the big metal V
2:58
which is like welded and constructed
3:00
right over there and of course the skate
3:01
park off in a distance there but yeah I
3:04
always think of Venice I always think of
3:05
that big metal V this area over here is
3:07
heavily spray painted but it's not
3:09
frowned upon they let people come over
3:11
here and spray paint
3:13
and by the time you're around this area
3:15
there's always new new spray paint over
3:17
the old spray paint it's just right over
3:20
here across the way it spells up finish
3:22
right here
3:24
across the ground
3:26
I am definitely not talented on a
3:28
skateboard but it is kind of fun to
3:29
watch people who actually know what
3:31
they're doing out here on these on this
3:33
bowl this guy looks like he's pretty
3:35

16:39
his book series South of Heaven and Hell
16:42
awaits okay
16:44
a lot a lot of metal but the most
16:46
dramatic scene of any TV show ever takes
16:48
place right here when season four finale
16:51
when Karen finds out what he did he did
16:54
really and Rocket Man is playing by
16:56
Elton John and she comes out and she
16:58
drives right here in the car right out
17:00
of this door so is the pool around here
17:02
too it's cool I guess I got a new show I
17:05
gotta watch
17:06
he said there was a doors photo photo
17:08
taken here too right here the plot a
17:10
cover album right here was taken right
17:12
here and a little further down as the
17:14
door is Coca-Cola sign
17:16
so I'm trying to find the picture online
17:18
right now but you can see the brick wall
17:20
right there there's also on the corner
17:22
is the coke mural we're gonna go up see
17:24
that too and up the street just a little
17:26
bit is another photo of the doors up
17:28
here on this corner it used to be a
17:30
Coca-Cola oh they still have a Coca-Cola
17:32
thing on this side
17:33
I don't know if it matches up but just
17:35
kind of right over here you can still
17:36
see where that says Coca-Cola now
17:38
obviously they have repainted it but you
17:40
can kind of see over here you can see
17:41
the the white tile going on the side
17:43
they've repainted the town the uh the
17:45
townscape the cityscape on the side and
17:48
there's a fence up in another apartment
17:49
building but you can kind of line this
17:50
up from this angle kind of sorta there's
17:53
a picture of the door standing right
17:55
here underneath
18:03
the original Gold's Gym so it actually
18:03
was a gym it wasn't on Muscle Beach no
18:05

25:27
over here the TV was right there
25:30
it is that close-up of someone's face
25:33
right here like he's sitting there with
25:35
the pizza and he cuts yeah
25:37
it's right here
25:40

25:43
this is amazing I love that they embrace
25:45

25:47

25:49
out of the seven that is empty so
25:53
crime is a disease I'm the Cure yeah
25:58
man that's awesome response for the
25:59
rooms at the guests use so that's
26:01
they're just made to look old but it is
26:04
modern
26:05
thank you though so much yeah you're the
26:07
best match guys
26:13
this is the coolest
26:13
freaking thing in the movie if you're
26:15
watching the scene he comes off the
26:17
elevator Landing there
26:19
on the wall like a light up neon Pepsi
26:21
sign and he walks this way and enters
26:24
into what is now Penthouse number one
26:26
and this is again at the time it was one
26:29
apartment so it was just a one bedroom
26:30
apartment which was utilizing the both
26:33
in the both rooms but you know how many
26:35
years like wanted a kid in this room put
26:37
a wall up
26:38
two Canon films classic cobra
26:43
yeah this is where the kitchen was the
26:45
other door was over there it's a new
26:46
front wall place there essentially he's
26:48
walking from that entrance comes this
26:50
way and sits in front of the TV with his
26:52
box of pizza
26:54
fully redoing the wiring the plumbing
26:57
everything they had to put in central AC
26:59
and heating for all the rooms to be
27:02
ready to be a hotel
27:04
um so it was closed for about four or
27:06
five years
27:12
and we just opened up 2021 June 20th
27:12
yeah we're heading we're on our we've
27:14
been open for two years now so
27:15
and the name of the hotel is just Venice
27:17
Hotel Venice Venice V is the name of the
27:19
hotel
27:21
oh there it is Dennis big yeah I know
27:23
it's a little tricky because they still
27:24
have the old Waldorf sign out front
27:26
there I think they just kept that there
27:28
so when I stay here I'm obviously going
27:29
to get a pizza and I'm going to cut it
27:31
with a pair of scissors come on what's
27:33
the master shot at the master shot from
27:36
the yeah a little bit are you kneeling
27:38
for Stallone
27:53
so right now we were so we're just like
27:53
nerding it it's like literally half a
27:54
dozen nerds up here I know
27:57
for some people that doesn't mean
27:59
anything oh God it's made our day man
28:02
you made our day thank you so much and
28:03
the entire fight scene took place up
28:05
here too again there was like a Pepsi
28:07
logo here overlooking here and again the
28:10
guy was explaining that there's two
28:11
penthouses now there's the one here that
28:13
you can rent the other one you can rent
28:14
down here Stallone in the movie walks
28:17
down here Canon classic film goes into
28:19
this door
28:21
and then turns in here they put up
28:24
another fake partition here to go into
28:26
the room that I just showed they got
28:28
removed the kitchen of course this was
28:29
unplanned so I didn't really have like a
28:30
lot of the the screen grabs and whatnot
28:32
but this is where the whole fight scene
28:33
was and then he throws him off the roof
28:36
I believe over here which is where he
28:39
falls off and you see the fire escape is
28:42
right down here so right down there is
28:44
the fire escape where the guy falls off
28:45
the falls off the roof
28:48
why don't you say that one more time so
28:51
when they're getting into the fight
28:52
scene Stallone and the guy are having
28:53
the fight here the Pepsi sign was here
28:55
this is the original door that he walks
28:57
out of to walk in the what is now the
28:59
penthouse and then he throws the guy I
29:01
think he throws it's been a while since
29:02
I've seen the movie but he throws the
29:03
guy or like the guy jumps off or
29:05
something he was off that side goes down
29:07
the side of the building and you see the
29:09
fire escape the fire escapes on that
29:10
side the different you know three or
29:12
four level fires that could have been
29:13
over here because there's the railing
29:14
from the fire escape it's right over
29:17
there also they're very kind
29:25
have you ever had anybody nerd out like
29:25
this to this room no that's the first
29:26
time honestly
29:28
you want to stay being that we're in
29:30
customer service it's one of the things
29:32
that we like to talk about yeah no one
29:34
really takes as much interest I think
29:36
than you guys have uh this one's a
29:38
little bit more accessible than that one
29:40
is
29:42
I mean I've had I had this window etched
29:44
in my head for like three decades
29:47
and it sounds ridiculous but
29:50
well now you can check this off check it
29:53
out
29:54
they've remodeled a lot because there
29:55
was a door here too so Stallone goes
29:58
that way turns into that door but they
29:59
they kind of put some uh
30:02
you know they kind of put a barricade
30:04
down at the other door so if you want to
30:06
rent the room this is the pH 7 is the
30:10
Cobra room and it overlooks and back in
30:13
the movie this was actually an active
30:15
road and now it's just the the boardwalk
30:17
or whatever they call this little this
30:19
little road here where all the buskers
30:21
and the vendors are
30:22
and I'm definitely in the future gonna
30:24
rent that room but it is rentable and uh
30:27
I think I think I set the website in the
30:28
name but yeah they were very very nice
30:31
to let us in the room very kind guy
30:32
we're now going to walk down the stairs
30:34

34:56
never 1959 that's the artist there's a
34:59
lot of see a lot of stuff all over the
35:01
us that he does but he's done Blink 182
35:03
from the all the small fangs era right
35:07
up here we are now walking up to Third
35:08
Street Promenade this concrete or the
35:10
concrete but this brick building here
35:12
after the end used to be the entrance to
35:15
track somebody was called from Pretty in
35:17
Pink where ducky did the famous dance
35:20
for
35:22
Molly Ringwald who's inside here and
35:24
also I think later in the movie when
35:26
he's sitting Ducky's kind of having a
35:28
somber moment where he didn't get the
35:29
girl and whatnot was like sitting right
35:31
here against this brick where I think it
35:34
was newspaper it was like newspaper
35:36
boxes that he was sitting across but the
35:38
brick all still looks the same and it's
35:40
now called stay thirsty the record store
35:43
well they actually have records in there
35:45
as a Lionel Richie record right there
35:47
right inside of there is where ducky did
35:50
the dance very famous dance from a
35:52
classic 80s film now one thing about
35:56
where Trax was the record store was
35:58
which is right over there if you go
36:01
inside it doesn't really look like
36:02
anything it did in the movie if that's
36:04
completely done in fact the doors that
36:06
were ducky did the dance where he was
36:08
kind of like rolling along the side of
36:09
the records and all that it's kind of
36:10
hard to match anything up the original
36:12
doors were kind of behind the counter in
36:14
a lot of ways kind of wedged against us
36:16
the whole place has been completely
36:17
redone it's just hard to imagine that
36:20
Pretty in Pink the record store was
36:22
filmed right inside a now coffee shop
36:24
and for a Friday it's uh kind of empty
36:27
out here at 3rd Street Promenade I think
36:28
there's some guys playing soccer in the
36:30
middle of the road have you ever seen
36:31
peewee's big adventure this is where
36:33
Paul reub was playing Peewee got his
36:35
bike stolen it's about another block or
36:37
two up but yeah this is the same general
36:38
area but yeah this is not a lot of
36:41
people out here compared to you know
