1:13
studio shirts even though it's a
1:15
universal movie but oh well fail we
1:17

in fact this building was used in
1:25
wayne's world too
1:27

wayne's world 2 the part with the
1:39
laverne shirley steps

1:56
look in yeah

2:00
yeah this is so cool that's where it was
2:02
up there like on that little walkway
2:03
across
2:05
banging on the glass that's so funny
2:09
it still looks exactly the same it's
2:11
like a time capsule it's so cool
2:18
i love the birds chirp in there
2:18
all right we're gonna take the not so
2:19
lengthy commute
2:26
over to the pomona fairplex
2:26
i have a feeling this is going to be a
2:28
very busy weekend day at the fair
2:32
it's a saturday
2:35
open 11 to 11. right now it's almost two
2:39

2:44
nine days
2:45
today's the 21st
2:51
are like some of the yeah stops oh
2:51
there's tram stops
2:53
i've zoomed in on the parking lot there
2:54

2:57
the fairplex
3:02
and this is kind of fun it's the 100th
3:02
anniversary
3:04
the la county fair was established in
3:06
1922
3:09
and this pig is their mascot kind of
3:12
looks like porky pig but it's not
3:21
anniversary established 1922
3:21
that pig
3:22
has a suitcase
3:25
that car right there has a
3:27
fish just flopping around
3:30
on the trailer hitch
3:33
that fish just
3:34
wants to be free
3:49
decided to walk
3:49
not take the tram
3:51
all right about to go in
3:54
la county fair
3:56
and first things first need something to
3:58
drink there's a lemonade stand here
3:59
called squeezers old-fashioned lemonade
4:02
shake-up it almost looks like a
4:03
margarita but it's not it's just
4:05
lemonade yeah they had like a sugar rim
4:07
i feel like for fair prices this whole
4:09
thing was eight dollars pretty good
4:10
really good price that's pretty good
4:11
price i got this coca-cola which was
4:13
five dollars you got the swings over
4:14
there i got the zipper off in the
4:16
distance
4:18
oh i don't know if i don't know if i can
4:20
do this zipper i don't know
4:22
i don't know maybe maybe i'll do the
4:24
zipper that is a really large corn dog
4:27
right look at the size of that corn dog
4:28
take a look at this i'm gonna start to
4:29
devour this first and foremost get the
4:31
bacon affair this doesn't have any bacon
4:33
on it but it does have the peppers and
4:35
the onions and going with a little
4:37
mustard there as well and he went with
4:38
the jumbo corn dog that's like a long
4:41
corn dog right there
4:43
well on the other side of this food
4:44
stamp but you can see the sky ride going
4:46
by which i definitely want to do you get
4:48
a bird's-eye perspective of all the
4:50
attractions and rides that are at the la
4:52
faire and they have something here
4:53
called the tasty swirl and there's the
4:56
king taco guy right there's all kind of
4:58
food out here and closer we get over
4:59
here you can definitely tell we are
5:01
approaching the farm they have little
5:03
houses built for them this this sheep
5:05
right here this is they're all sheep
5:07
through here got some cows here
5:10
the mama cow
5:11
with the calves
5:13
watching over the youth
5:16
right in there
5:18
got their hay out
5:20
just relaxing
5:22
oh wow the little tiny lambs
5:38
that looks so comfortable just laying
5:38
right there in the hay
5:43
there's a couple others that are walking
5:43
around
5:44
i went over this way to say hi
5:53
those clothes up there on the
5:53
clothesline have the farm written across
5:56
the overalls and they have a hot dog on
5:58
a stick stand i actually passed another
6:00
one earlier a couple hot dog on a stick
6:02
stands out here the original the very
6:04
first one at santa monica pier has
6:06
closed so it's good to see them that
6:08
they're out of the fair
6:09
hello cows
6:12
having a good day cows
6:13
this is quite the temptation
6:16
they got these stanchions up here
6:18
you cannot get over there to get your
6:20
photo off dang it
6:21
or or you can't get over there yeah no
6:23
idea that we're gonna have something
6:25
like this here here's the caretaker look
6:26
at this he's got his shovel ooh this one
6:28
oh this one's doing like a little hide
6:29
and go seek thing going oh there you are
6:31
hello
6:32
reagan
6:33
also it appears the lines for the
6:35
tickets is growing considerably there is
6:37
a heck of a lot of people out there all
6:39
right it's time grab our seat
6:42
definitely get a pretty good view from
6:44
way up here i got the one of the ferris
6:45
wheels over here and something happened
6:47
down here a pipe burst so they have this
6:48
whole area blocked off right down here
6:50
you see where the pipe kind of busted
6:52
and i think it's starting to cool down a
6:53
little bit now originally i was gonna
6:54
buy one of those big brim hats for the
6:56
sun it feels good out here right now it
6:58
does i thought i brought a jacket
7:01
you want a jacket yeah i didn't bring a
7:03
jacket so you were the wise one i'm
7:04
probably going to need a jacket but
7:06
there's some good merchandise yeah i
7:08
love the logo the pig is so cute that's
7:10
a big icy down there that's like an
7:12
oversized
7:13
icy
7:14
we don't have to do all the ferris
7:16
wheels but there is the one ferris wheel
7:18
back there that'd be pretty neat to go
7:19
on there you go you're you're holding it
7:21
you don't have the whole world in your
7:22
hand but you got the whole ferris wheel
7:24
and with any fair plenty of food we got
7:26
tater twisters burgers cheese gringo
7:29
yeah for real look at that thing no
7:32
thank oh they're they're bringing
7:33
they're putting the heavy machinery away
7:35
over there there goes the heavy
7:36
machinery ladies
7:38
all right i am gonna go on the ice jet
7:41
i've never been on anything like this
7:43
before but it's ice jet time which is
7:45
like a winter frozen tundra this makes
7:47
the matterhorn look slow in comparison
7:50
yeah i think all in all i handled it
7:52
okay got a little dizzy i was good until
7:55
i was i was doing pretty good as you put
7:56
my hands up and getting in on the
7:58
excitement there about
8:00
all the way from the beginning until
8:02
about three quarters of the way through
8:03
and then when it started to do that
8:04
really extreme slant towards the end and
8:07
then you started screaming a lot more
8:09
and i started screaming a lot more and
8:11
then i was like well i gotta hold onto
8:12
my camera and then i started to get a
8:14
little bit nauseous try to get a little
8:15
bit dizzy the stomach started churning
8:17
around a little bit and then when it's
8:19
when it finally stopped slowed down and
8:21
stopped that's what i really like the
8:23
equilibrium threw off and i kind
8:28
like i think if the momentum would have
8:28
kept going i'd have been fine but when
8:29
it started to slow down i was like oh is
8:32
there a trash can and now for something
8:34
a little more mellow the liberty
8:36
wheel i believe it's the second tallest
8:39
ferris wheel it's not as tall as the one
8:40
you can see off in the distance but this
8:42
one here it's just right here near the
8:43
exit of what we just got what was it
8:45
called the icebreaker
8:47
the ice jet i guess i never really
8:49
thought about this but this says please
8:50
do not talk to the operator while ride
8:53
is in motion
8:55
you don't want to distract them also i
8:56
think it's the first ferris wheel i've
8:58
ever they've ever told me make sure you
8:59
had your seat belt on yeah
9:02
yeah it was kind of surprised me said
9:03
make sure you strap your seatbelt on it
9:04
goes this thing go upside down first i
9:06
thought maybe he's going to catch us by
9:07
surprise it's going to do like a
9:08
loop-de-loop
9:17
look at this deflated like what is this
9:17
like a spider right or deflated spider
9:20
this is not spider-mania is not
9:22
working right now
9:24
it is down
9:26
spidermania has been deflated
9:31
little shoes on that spider now we did
9:31
decide to go ahead and get in line for
9:33
the crazy coaster the line is very very
9:35
very long i've been waiting about a half
9:37
hour so i did have a 25 front of the
9:40
line
9:41
pass but opted out of that but now i'm
9:43
kind of regretting doing that maybe we
9:44
should have probably got that because
9:46
that would have been a big help
9:48
going up
10:01
this definitely is a lot like primeval
10:01
world
10:02
oh
10:14
and i'm going to do something i have
10:14
never done at a fair i'm going to go on
10:16
the zipper which is like yeah this is
10:18
like a classic fair midway attraction
10:21
the zipper is about to happen i'm about
10:23
to go on and that is something i never i
10:25
mean it might
10:27
i will now know if i like it or dislike
10:29
it or love it or hate it i'm about to
10:31
find out because i'm going to go on
10:34
oh yeah this thing is not does not look
10:36
like it's going to be my right oh my god
10:39
oh my god
11:55
this is the ultimate hell you don't like
11:55
this no i do not like that i do not
11:57
break your nose on this like smashing
11:59
into this i mean i've hit my face
12:06
oh that was intense
12:06
someone has had to have broken their
12:07
face up against us
12:11
oh my gosh where's the glasses there
12:13
they are right down there i will always
12:15
remember my first zipper experience
12:18
the bouncy souls have a song about the
12:20
zipper of the jerseys here and someone
12:22
throwing up on it okay i have
12:23
successfully now done the zipper i gotta
12:25
say i handled it not moderately okay but
12:28
my back is hurting a little bit i know
12:30
my age is now showing
12:32
and but the first time ever i have gone
12:34
on
12:35
the zipper almost hit my head i was
12:36
afraid of breaking my nose and my back i
12:39
think i pulled my back just a little bit
12:41
but that's okay i did it
12:43
that is a really large inflatable grogu
12:45
right there this says get your 100th
12:48
anniversary fare gear
12:50
here this one has a steer or a cow on it
12:53
it says la county fair and i definitely
12:55
like the shirts that have
12:57
the pig on it here 100th anniversary
12:59
like i said it looks like porky pig but
13:01
it's not porky pig i don't think has
13:03
ever worn a like a
13:04
a tuxedo style like this oh yeah just
13:07
for like a little upset stomach for a
13:09
headache i probably maybe could have
13:11
used all that today
13:12
off the zipper
13:14
possibly i'm good now but earlier and
13:16
out the same entrance we came in a lot
13:19
earlier
13:20
in the day up top here it says thanks
13:23
for visiting
13:24
see you next year that mean i got to be
13:25
back come back here every year yeah
13:28
okay and you also said that this isn't
13:29
normal the normal month that it happens
13:31
no it's so weird that it's happy right
13:33
now because i feel like it always
13:34
happens in like end of july to september
13:37
okay but this year it is in may
13:43
i think that's probably why it's so busy
13:43
because you probably get like two months
13:45
and this time you only get like 25 days
13:47
it's very
13:48
only 25 days this time because it's from
13:50
the
13:51
may 5th to the 30th okay maybe that's
13:53
just
13:54
a lot well over here there's not a lot
13:56
of people they're all in there
13:57
and they keep showing up and i think
13:59
we're just going to walk to the car and
14:01
not wait for the tram but there's a
14:02
little tram station here too
14:05
as well
14:06
pretty neat they have trams
14:08
there's a tram here there's a tram here
14:10
that just unloaded this one's dropping
14:12
off this one's picking up and it is
14:15
almost nine o'clock at night and this is
14:17
the line of people just now showing up
14:28
follow on the train okay we did it
14:28
that's gonna do it for today well i feel
14:30
accomplished because i did a zipper
14:32
so proud of you
14:34
and the ice circle ice jet ice jet never
14:37
done anything like that before
14:39
that threw me off a little bit
14:41
not as much
14:43
as the zipper
14:45
zipper is the best ride though don't
14:46
know if i'd ever do it again
14:48
so one and done
14:49
maybe
14:51
if i did it again i would not have the
14:52
camera and i would have both hands
14:54
against those bars pushed up against
14:56
them with my face and my neck my back of
14:59
my head planted against the back of them
15:01
but we did it we did it high five we did
15:04
it
15:06
all right i'll see you the next video
15:08
the vlog
15:10
is open
