the recording of This TGIF is Friday
0:05
September 22nd
0:07
2023. I'm standing here at the basis or
0:11
the base
0:12
I should say of the Hollywood Hills here
0:15
at my hotel in the parking structure and
0:18
I am heading over to a couple of places
0:20
the culmination
0:22
being the opening night of La haunted
0:25
hayride in Griffith Park which is right
0:27
there I'm pretty much right in Griffith
0:30
Park but first gotta go to Bob's Big Boy
0:32
enjoy a meal meet up with some friends
0:34
there and then we are all gonna
0:36
congregate our efforts together
0:38
as Nightfall wears its head for La
0:41
haunted hayride an event I go to pretty
0:44
much every year for the past five or six
0:45
years give or take I've been going to in
0:47
a while I love it it's a little it's
0:49
different
0:50
but I enjoy it join me
0:52
giant that is a pretty cool looking
0:55
storybook house there
0:57
I'm over in Burbank now couldn't park at
0:59
Bob's because they are doing the Friday
1:00
night car show which I have always
1:02
wanted to see but have not been able to
1:04
attend so parking's a little difficult
1:05
had to go a few blocks away
1:08
Park in this residential area
1:11
I'm gonna hoof it over there
1:13
Burbank and now that I'm kind of looking
1:16
at this I'm thinking maybe we should
1:17
have chose a different location because
1:19
it might be kind of difficult to find a
1:21
table in here classic car alert pulling
1:23
in there got Bob's out front you got Bob
1:25
out front oh the mascot it's like I
1:28
don't know I call him Bobby maybe call
1:29
something else yeah you can just see
1:31
there is quite a plethora of vehicles
1:34
here car hop
1:43
put my name in all right put my name in
1:43
they said it's going to be a half hour
1:44
for a table of five or six so kind of
1:47
curious to see how that pans out see
1:49
what everybody else thinks and then go
1:50
from there and we'll wait you can look
1:51
at some classic cars through here
1:53
there's definitely plenty to look at
1:56
yeah they're just continually pulling
1:58
through and parking it's tough to find
2:00
parking around here not only because
2:01
Bob's is busy on a Friday night but also
2:03
because there's a lot of cars taking up
2:05
the spots for good reason this is giving
2:07
me uh Old Town Kissimmee Vibes except I
2:10
am in Greater Los Angeles area in
2:12
Burbank and like I said I've always
2:14
wanted to go to the one here at Bob's
2:17
Big Boy and I never had I've always
2:18
heard rumors that sometimes Jay Leno
2:19
will just randomly show up pretty often
2:21
he will show up but he's not here I
2:23
don't see him here all right ended up
2:24
getting a table and there was ended up
2:26
being six of us I was hoping we get the
2:28
beetle the beetle uh booth in the corner
2:30
where they have the placard but this
2:31
place was really really busy and ended
2:33
up just getting the the regular Booth
2:35
were we all sick six of us
2:37
in the booth off to the side and go got
2:40
a variety of different things I took a
2:41
photo of all of us shoot for posterity
2:43
and here's the group photo six of us
2:45
crammed in a Bob's Big Boy booth
2:48
yeah I'm pretty full I always get I got
2:50
the onion rings and I got I always get
2:52
the chili spaghetti I think I've eaten
2:55
the Bob's about 100 times in my life and
2:57
I would say 98 of the time 99 I always
3:00
get the the chili spaghetti all right we
3:02
ended up parking over here they do have
3:03
a shuttle so interesting fun fact this
3:05
parking area back in the day up until
3:07
three or four years ago a couple years
3:09
ago they used to have the hayride down
3:11
there they'd have that big stack of
3:12
pumpkins and the line went all the way
3:14
this way I used to go through the old
3:16
empty Zoo they have done away with that
3:19
and now it is down the hill all right we
3:21
are walking by the carousel where Walt
3:24
Disney had stated that he was inspired
3:26
to create Disneyland we'd come here with
3:28
his daughters and sit on the benches
3:30
here in fact when you go to Disneyland
3:31
you can see one of the benches also the
3:33
Family Museum in San Francisco has one
3:36
of the benches I like how we're going to
3:38
a Han event but we're just more enamored
3:40
by this Disney carousel right there well
3:43
the carousel to be fair the carousel is
3:45
better than the hanaban we're going oh
3:46
come on
3:47
who you talk to well this Carousel is
3:49
responsible for Disneyland that's a good
3:51
point that's a good point ballot point
3:54
as we're walking up I want to mention
3:56
that there's going to be a lot of scary
3:58
images strobe lights fog effects lots of
4:02
strobe lights so if you're sensitive to
4:04
strobe lights just be weary or wary
4:06
there's going to be a lot of strobe
4:07
lights so strobe light warning overload
4:10
I've been to this event before and this
4:12
might be the most heavy strobe light
4:14
event
4:15
of most of the Halloween times they
4:18
really they really utilize they know how
4:20
to utilize the shrubs so just a heads up
4:22
I want to almost tripped I want to point
4:24
out a little thing I always mention that
4:25
no one ever cares but this sewage grade
4:28
over here was used in the tv show Beauty
4:31
and the Beast as the Beast layer the
4:34
Linda Hamilton Beauty and the Beast yes
4:37
Linda Hamilton the Beast crawled in and
4:40
out of there but you got to go around
4:41
this way to get the angle down there you
4:43
know that information
4:45
yeah right here this is the Beast layer
4:47
they just put some foliage around it but
4:49
if you crawled up in there which I
4:51
wouldn't recommend doing at this time of
4:52
the hour in La you can see people have
4:55
gone in and left inscriptions on there
4:57
dedicating their love to the Linda
4:59
Hamilton Beauty and the Beast show right
5:01
inside the little sewage grape there a
5:03
little runoff
5:05
last time I was here you told me that
5:07
the opening the Full House was shot like
5:09
somewhere over here it was where we it
5:11
was back that way yeah
5:13
that's true I did it's fake it's not in
5:15
San Francisco nope what the heck

11:11
okay I've been to a lot of these
11:21
there wasn't a lot of monsters and
11:21

11:45
favorite he was uh he was awesome
11:48
scare actor of the hayride how many
11:50
scare actors you think were on there I
