[@kennethhuber3658]

One of the reasons I enjoy watching your videos is the amount of enthusiasm you have for the subject. Your passion really shows!

[@ricknineg]

I really really enjoy doing the work that I do. Thank you, Kenneth

[@marilynlandis5058]

I've seen all the 3 Stooges shorts many many times & remember them bring ice chest up those 147 stairs!! I'm almost 69 years old & afraid of heights, so I appreciate you giving us the beautiful view from atop all those stairs !!

[@ricknineg]

The incline up there was crazy but I’m happy to climb them for all of you

[@presb007]

That view!! There are many of these stairs that were used to connect the various LA neighborhoods. I must visit this location!

[@kevinsbookcase59]

I love that the stairs are still there!!! I was a big history buff in school...and when I watched shows...I always wondered...what does it look like today...is it even still there? But so cool to see the stairs!!! 😊

[@paulstan9828]

One of my favorite three stooges films. Curly’s Grandson has a KZbin channel by the same name. He was just there filming a video. He would be someone fun to interview on your channel.

[@ScottGrammer]

That's really cool. An actual iconic location from one of my favorite Stooge films. Well done!

[@gerrydeviller1089]

I am again beyond impressed at the length you go to bring us such great content! Walking up 147 steps in the L.A. heat and with a backpack on is an accomplishment! Thank you so much for bringing this to us. I look forward to more more more!!!

[@TheJeffyBob]

Thank you for this video. I am 62 years old and have watched the Stooges since I was a kid. I've seen this particular episode hundreds of times. It is awesome that these steps are still there. I truly enjoyed this!

[@christopherkraft1327]

Hey Rick, I don't think that I could have made it up to the cul de sac let alone the stairs, it's an accomplishment for me to make it up the 16 steps to my apartment, especially with groceries!!! I'm glad that you're young & able to handle the stairs, I really appreciate you doing that for all of us!!! I absolutely love these field trip videos & I thank you so much for making them for everyone to enjoy!!! I don't get out as much as I used to but I feel fortunate to live in Southern California with it's rich history, especially the filming locations of yesteryear!!! Thanks for sharing another great video!!!! 👍👍😁

[@timtmt522]

Holy cow Rick that was very cool!! One of my favorite Stooge shorts, a real reality check seen from your perspective that the short doesn't capture.

[@mickeywoodcock6440]

I love it when you are out and about Rick and showing us places that still exist to this day. Thanks for climbing 147 steps for us. Love your vids.

[@danapretzer1895]

Great job Rick thanks for taking us along.

[@ricknineg]

My pleasure

[@michealadams1206]

That was an amazing fact find & just being there! A fascinating part of history concerning The Three Stooges! WOW!!! Thank you for going there for all of us! 👍👍👍

[@Cydonia2020]

I love location shots like this. Then I can go to Google Earth and look up the exact location and actually walk the steps on my phone. Really appreciate you doing this.

[@ricknineg]

Much appreciated! Don’t almost pass out walking them like I almost did 😆

[@Soundofsilence-j4d]

@@ricknineg i would had heart attack.

[@byronbrewer33]

As a lifelong lover of history, I really appreciate someone as young as you are having the openness of mind and the appreciation of heart for what has gone before. Thank you so much for these videos. I really enjoy the videos on the classic TV shows, but these outside personal explorations you do are certainly interesting and informative. In my younger days, I used to do things like that but I've never been on the west coast. To you listen to you talk about it, you're mind amazes me. Thank you so much and I'm certainly glad I discovered your video channel during covid. Look forward to your product every day. In addition, your belief in positivity, optimism and, yes, hope, is reflective of how I've tried to live my life. Keep up the great work, thanks for this video especially, and let's do some Little Rascals!

[@WingsAsEaglesMinistries]

I totally enjoy this type of video. Thanks for sharing

[@timewellwasted3341]

Rick, many thanks for this video! This is one of my favorite Stooges episodes that I have watched over my lifetime at least 100 times! The rich history in this episode is priceless. Everyone in those days had an icebox and icemen came by twice a week with a horse drawn cart to deliver ice. A decade later, electric fridges would end this industry. I love this episode because so much comedy and stuff happens in this short. All the stair gags, and remember that Curly had a bad ankle, yet motored up those stairs at top speed. The uncooperative horse, the site gags with Vernon Dent and the cake. The laughs in the kitchen as they prepare the dinner. Curly "shaving some ice" and his hilarious comments. Stuffing the turkey and all the gags. The birthday dinner for Vernon Dent and all the things stuffed in the turkey. This was comedic genius in under 20 minutes and every time I watch it, it brings back memories to when I was a child and just makes me laugh every time. There was a modest frame house to the right as you climbed the stairs where the lady asks for the ice and now it looks like a contemporary flat roof home is in the same spot. Sixty years have passed but their episode endures and prevails......thanks again Rick...this was a special video.

[@cachita5456]

I think it's great that you do all this. Thank you enjoyed it.🙂

[@jenlemon4294]

Wow, Rick, gorgeous view. Bravo to you walking up all those steps and talking to us the whole time! Thanks for the “trip”❤️

[@ricknineg]

You’re most welcome

[@craigfazekas3923]

Those stairs are iconic, at least in the locational sphere of Stooges' shorts..... I remember watching this at the height of summer in my youth & really feeling for those guys !! Or thinking that the block of ice surrounding Curley's head must've felt GREAT on a hot summer day, lol..... Great job as usual, Mr. NineG !!! 🚬😎

[@cadeevans4623]

Oh wow always love seeing the filming locations Rick and being revealed this great stuff

[@ahuamekaiona]

More 3 stoofes bloopers please👏👍🤗🤙💞

[@gailwatson4927]

Thanks Rick. Love it. I love the filming location videos.

[@Dallas_K]

Enjoyed the tour. Reminds me of my visit to the Music Box steps over 20 years ago. I think I read somewhere that both are in the same general area of LA on opposite sides of the hills. I am amazed to see the Stooge steps situated at the end of a cul-de-sac as it did not look like that in the film. Amazing how far a little framing and viewer imagination can go. I have to mail you a free ice sample for this one! Another set of steps of interest is in Washington, DC, Georgetown area where "The Exorcist" was filmed. "St. Elmo's Fire" shot on the same streets at the top.

[@tmajcan94]

This might be my favorite video of yours. I'm a big stooges fan and I love that short. I could never do the steps lol so thanks for sharing this with us!!

[@crush41gb]

I love the Stooges and have all the dvds of the shorts and this was awesome. I've saved these on street view but, this was much appreciated. I'm thankful they're still there. 😀

[@davids6898]

Thanks for going to all these places. As someone who lives in Orange County I can easily visit these places for myself. But also as someone who lives in Orange County I try to avoid having to go into LA as much as possible. So thank you for showing us this. If I am up in the area I might just check it out for myself.

[@ricknineg]

You def should see it

[@ddavenpAZ]

You definitely rose to the top on that one! Great video!

[@barrycoats2777]

Thank You so very much for showing us these stairs it is obvious that it has been super built up in the 80 plus years since the Three Stooges made the short. It also shows what overlooked and taken advantage of they were often really risking life and limb for their fans. One of the few comedy groups you can watch without having to think about their era to get their jokes timeless!!

[@richcar3434]

Yea, your right, I live a bajillon miles away and overseas from there, so it's definately a real treat to have you let me "acompany" you to these, close to my heart, places!

[@videolabguy]

To walk in the footsteps of "the boys" has to be priceless. Great job, fella!

[@philliphayes3641]

This is one of your best and you are as awesome as the stairs ! I hit - like -

[@ricknineg]

Thanks Phillip. You rock

[@12Q46HPRN]

81 years ago the Stooges were there, same railings, even! Outstanding video! Thst was always one of my favorite Stooge shorts.

[@ricknineg]

So soo cool

[@robertstroback3362]

Very cool! This is one of my favorite Stooge shorts. I often wondered if those steps were real or some sort of cleaver editing. Thank you for showing us that they do indeed exist. Live your channel. Keep the great videos comming.

[@jons.6216]

Reminds me quite a bit of the Moraga steps here in SF, Rick! If you ever make it up here they're worth seeing! They go up to a beautiful panoramic high point called Grandview! I photographed upward and downward at different times! Stamina wise I only went down them! Haha!

[@artg2767]

This was so awesome! These videos are like a time capsule. One of my favorite episodes. Thanks so much Rick 👍

[@PamperedPetz]

Wow so cool. Nice work Rick! Do you know Curly's Grandson has a KZbin channel?! So cool

[@ricknineg]

Glad you liked the video!

[@randytim512]

I definitely love your location video's and I'm sure most of your fans do too. That was quite a cardio workout. I loved your "don't judge me" comment and the final shots of you coming down the hill. Your comments about vertigo were spot on. Being a history buff have you been to DC? I love that City. Great video Rick!!

[@cesarelmatute]

Hello my friend! I love the 3 Stooges! Please make more videos about their movie locations. You have an extraordinary KZbin channel! Adiós amigo! 👍😎

[@ricknineg]

Thanks Cesar

[@johnmedlin5894]

Loved the stooges shorts, grew up watching them as a kid, still love watching them today.

[@jlovebirch]

Just watched the colorized Stooges short on KZbin. Amazing to see how open the area was back then with almost no trees or houses.

[@ricknineg]

Almost no trees and houses is right

[@ahuamekaiona]

Mahalo rick for awesome places my favorite 3 stooges acted at, and bloopers, love the bloopers💞🤙🤗👍👏

[@mickw.4912]

Awesome video. Thank you.

[@ricknineg]

Thanks Mick!

[@robertanzalone5853]

Amazing view seen from the top of your 147 step climb!

[@scrappinbig2239]

I've watched your videos for quite some time now and I am really liking how you are getting more into all the great old movie actors and when possible a location of where the movies were made and the history of the area ! It would be great if you could keep on doing these types of videos !

[@fizixx]

Way kewl that you could be where the Stooges were! I find that fascinating, so please do more. Thanks for sharing this.

[@ricknineg]

Much appreciated

[@dianetheisen8664]

This was great❗ I love The 3️⃣ Stooges and this episode, An Ache in Every Stake is one of my favorites. That's à lot of stairs‼️

[@edryba4867]

WOW! I believe Laurel and Hardy also used this same location in at least two shorts. The screen comedians of long ago could simply look at a location like this, and immediately, their heads would fill with ideas about what they could do to milk maximum comic effect out of this set of 147 concrete stairs! Imagine being on the crew that had to haul a heavy studio camera and sound equipment up and down this incredibly long, incredibly steep set of stairs just to shoot what was known as a “two-reeler”! I had often wondered where these stairs were, being a fan of the old two-reelers myself! Thanks, Rick, for locating this place for us all! But I was hoping you’d show us a MAP of the area so those of us that live nearby could GO THERE AND SEE THE PLACE IN PERSON!!!!! Anyway, GREAT JOB, MY FRIEND!!! More, PLEASE?

[@kevintobin2743]

I think you're right I think they dragged a piano up these stairs and it kept falling down

[@dennisdeleo74]

Wrong, Guys…Those steps were in a different part of the area…

[@tammyevans7333]

How great!

[@hitchhiker8072]

Nice video brings back memories of the good old days !

[@kakylong2]

This is so cool. We are enjoying seeing these location videos & going back & rewatching the shows & shorts.

[@chaswr]

Excellent as always! Fantastic view BTW.

[@julier.1902]

Looking down the steps, I can only envision myself rolling down them, and being one gigantic bruise. My mind is odd like that.

[@williambrown238]

I grew up with the 3 Sturges.... that why modern folks think my sence of Humor is warped. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevekristoff7901]

Yes, more Stooges please!

[@ricknineg]

I uploaded a Stooges video today on Joe Besser

[@deliriousgirl1749]

I would love to see more stooge locations would be awesome. I love the three stooges.

[@russellfarina9099]

Excellent Rick! Please do more of these.

[@lisahorsepony]

Another great video! Wow, thanks for taking us to the location for this Stooges short. Those stairs are impressive and not for climbing for the faint of heart! I would love to see more on-location sites if possible. I really enjoyed this. Thank you!

[@TheVerbalVolley]

Really cool stuff, Rick. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@bethanyhomsher9740]

I loved that short!! Thank you so much for doing this Rick!! This is great!

[@djs61909]

Yes! Love these location visits…a hilarious Stooge episode. Very cool!

[@michaelturnagenccoastalrealtor]

I just saw this episode a few weeks ago. Fascinating and great video.

[@drkmagneto]

Great video! Love seeing 3 Stooges filming locations!!

[@Spike643]

Great video as usual Rick. You are the best.

[@dennisdeleo74]

Great Job Rick! I was exhausted watching you!

[@wardroland270]

Thanks Rick. Great job. God bless. Happy trails.

[@DaddyOfTheSugarVariety]

I love these kinds of videos. I don't know if would want to climb those steps though.

[@ricknineg]

Def a trek. But worth it

[@1bigbeatlesfan]

I visited these stairs some years back, I remember I had to drive through some narrow roads to get there. Great video!

[@roddmatsui3554]

Incredible!! These videos on classic film locations are tremendous fun.

[@ricknineg]

So much fun!

[@glennrobbins2372]

That location is a destination for almost every diehard Stooge fan.

[@oceanlover3530]

Thanks, Rick! Keep these location vlogs coming! I really enjoy them! Stay safe! ✌🏻🙂✌🏻

[@danw4471]

Rick, "An Ache in Every Stake" is my favorite Stooge episode. I love the end when the cake explodes. Thanks for post the location of the stairs where Curly ended up with an ice cube at the top.

[@donaldlippert6374]

Awesome video…. Can’t believe that the steps are still there! Thanks for the on-location video. Take care and God bless.

[@pappy4075]

Great series

[@mariacervantes5077]

Yes, definitely I want to see more of the three stooges. Great job!

[@ironsidefan]

Rick, in your own distinctively unique way you are taking up a bit with what the late Huell Howser did for years on his PBS program out of KCET Channel 28 Los Angeles - California’s Gold - which he did not only around Los Angeles, but across the state as well - keep at it, bud! I’ve always enjoyed hearing that kind, gentle voice of yours narrating those various videos you’ve created over the time you’ve been doing all of that, but it’s even better now getting not only to see that handsome, delightful face of yours that goes with that endearing voice, but most especially now with your doing these location pieces around in my birth place. You’re having quite a positive effect on a variety of lives, and situations impacting those lives in your own very special, and unique way just as even actress Judy Norton is doing twice a week on here with her Ask Judy program all about how the Walton’s TV series was made that she was an integral part of. Keep at what you’re doing bud with these on location pieces, with that evident infectious enthusiasm for showing us those various locations. I know we all truly appreciate you sharing these special places, and the unique history behind them. God richly bless you, bud, and big big hugs from a tired old shut in of a soul out here in north Long Beach!!!

[@joemanzo4453]

Super awesome and interesting as always! Great video Rick!

[@trishamorriston3737]

Another cool video Mr. Nineg. Love your channel. Definitely would love more Three Stooges videos.

[@RobertBosworth]

Location visits like this are so interesting. I’d watch more of these. Thanks for the tour. 😀

[@ricknineg]

I have so much more on the channel. Check them out

[@Phill75051]

I think I would probably get vertigo if I went there, but so cool.

[@MrKenstar2]

Awesome job I watch you all the time, best chanel

[@MsBackstager]

Thanks for the grand tour.

[@Joeelectronicschematicsforauto]

This is like laural and Hardy with the piano

[@integrityenglishschool9109]

I grew up in So. Cal, but now live in Japan!! I love when you visit the old film spots, houses, studios, etc…that part of cinema history is so fun to learn. Thanks for taking the time to do this for your channel

[@DaSupermanOf1990]

Looks like your inside a limo; hope one day I can join one of your LA location videos

[@downplay1979]

I live in the suburbs east of Los Angeles (in San Dimas-Bill & Ted territory, and next door to the church seen in both “The Graduate” and “Wayne’s World 2”), and you’re inspiring me to go out and find these local sites. I love that there is never a shortage of things to see here in Southern California. Great video-I love when you venture out!

[@sallyn2393]

Very cool! Loved it!

[@PhilGeissler]

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing!

[@thommcintyre2903]

On a vacation trip to LA, my bucket list included the Music Box steps in Silver Lake. At the time, I had no knowledge of the Three Stooges' steps or I'd have gone there. Thanks for taking us along.

[@917Stefano]

Excellent video! I remember that stooges episode--hilarious. I appreciate you trudging up all those stairs.

[@ricknineg]

It was a lot of fun

[@jtodora]

Thank you for showing those steps. I love that Stooge short! Please do more of the Stooge locations and the Laurel and Hardy locations and any other locations. I live in eastern Pennsylvania and although I've been to LA and the LA area several times over the years, it's usually been for business and there isn't time to see the sites. So...you are giving me that opportunity. Thanks again!!!

[@ricknineg]

I’m happy to go to these sites for you and others who cannot

[@markhewitt4307]

That's awesome! I have family around Burbank. If I ever get out that way again, I'm hoping they can take me there.

[@ricknineg]

Def go see it!

[@aviator1962]

Thanks for doing this. It looks so different now.

[@jedwards1979]

Pretty neat. It’s always to see memorabilia in a fun way. Thank you

[@christopheraxe9902]

Great on location video!

[@robertbangkok]

Interesting video. My one awesome film location was visiting the Lone Ranger rock. It was many years ago and I don't know if it's still there or not because there was a housing development encroaching on it. What amazed me was how the heck they ever got those giant camera rigs up there to film the horse Silver rearing up. It's really a small narrow space. I talked to a resident whose house was right behind the rock, and she had no idea the significance of the rock (and didn't seem to care) that was seen every week by millions of viewers in the 1950s. "Hi-yo, Silver, away!"

[@mattc3696]

What a great find, Mr. Nineg. Such treasures from the golden past! Thank you, sir.

[@robertgastreich9846]

I love your location stops you show us. This is so interesting to see from the shows we see. Please show us more location stops you find,

[@asun624]

Dude that is so awesome. I appreciate your hard work and dedication.

[@bobbyb5582]

Hello Rick. I'm a big fan of all your videos. Would love to see more Stooges filming locations.
