isn’t quintessential Hollywood but this is a a big feeder of my nerdiness let me show you this Hollywood Funko California there’s only two of these stores one in Everett Washington one here in Hollywood I’ve been to the one in Everett and so uh yeah I was within a mile so I got to I got to click this one off I’m interested to see what they’ve got inside wow nice little Marvel representation to start you off wow I know him we work together what movie was that from this place already has a different vibe than the Everett store I’m not buying Funko I’m not buying Funko I’m not buying Funko it’ be so cool to have some like a big big fig like that though just one big Funko I love this little Marvel area very cool interesting they got all the different exclusive here exclusives Walmart Target I’ve seen Amazon already so it looks like you can pull it all together at the Funko store Star-Lord wow yeah there’s an Amazon exclusive real question is if you get this Groot and water it will it eventually become this group big Hagrid Ursula the The Little Mermaid wow okay you guys ready for this one the big reveal the Hall of Justice man this is cool it’s kind of weird like obviously they want you to buy Funko but this really is an experience because you can see all of these all this theming which you really can’t see anywhere else Elsa got to let It Go Let It Go Elsa Let It Go oh my gosh is this sexy Jeff Goldblum Dr Ian Malcolm this place is massive stranger things Game of Thrones the whole horror section Rick and [Music] Morty all right so we’re in the Star Wars section this is super cool we got the whole collection of bounty hunters having a little drinky drink of course uh no bounty hunters are complete without Boba Fett and then of course the Epic question who shot first Han or greo classic arcade Fair Pac-Man and his ghostly friends oh yeah Kool-Aid man look at that wow Pillsbury doboy Chester Cheetah [Music] that’s wild Marvin the Martian [Applause] ah this is cool this is a customization area where you can on the screens down there make a Funko that sort of looks like you there’s limited customization options but they’ll you can pop yourself basically which is uh pretty cool pretty sure that this has something to do with the local fish restaurant I think that’s where they make the Taris sauce Taris [Music] sauce all right that was a cool one to check off of The Bucket List um about a mile and a quarter back to the car May grab a quick Uber cuz we got other places to go SG yeah Anthony hey how are you good how are you good good man yeah this is perfect all right so we’re back at Madam tuos but we just uh I think we took an Uber for about a mile and a half which only took about 5 minutes question is what would you pay to avoid that walk back from Funko what do you think we paid $100 $50 less what would you pay all right so we were going to jump in the car and go to our next destination but uh we’re going to make one more trip to the bathroom like I said old may have problems look kids it’s the Dopey theater again just for reference so you come past the Dolby Theater and then the restrooms are to the right I don’t think we showed you guys that all right the Silver Lining to the restroom dilemma is we stumbled across a whole another set of uh Footprints and signatures at the theater here’s the having the bladder of a toddler this is pretty cool we got Kevin Smith and Jason Muse We Got The Advengers and the man himself stand the man Le trying I’m trying not to tear up this just yeah this was the spot wow turned right out of the

here guy Steve Martin guess everybody’s had a hot dog here at pinks Tim Kardashian Brian Cranston we’re dining in the shadow of the Stars oh what the heck I blocked myself off Steve how do I get oh I’ll just go this way all right there were a lot of exotic choices there but I feel like I chose two that would fairly well represent the hot dog Community Carl Riner W the Brando is somewhat matured as I was working on the Carl Riner we have a melting of the cheese it’s kind of like when you open a bottle of wine and you let it you know airat and stuff that’s that’s what you got to do with a chili dog you come to me on the day of my daughter’s sweating and you want to know how to make a famous Brando hot dog these aren’t the things for Michael you you’re the you’re the leader of the family tell them what am I doing look at this wow great little Vibe right here behind pinks digging it I’m digging it well that was good another item ticked on The Bucket List uh but more bucket list items to tick the day is Young it’s about 3:30 p.m. but the day is Young we continue on well it’s that time of day where we look at LA traffic math 6 miles 30 minutes look sometimes you got to suffer suffer to get to where you want to go all right so we’re here at the Griffith Observatory but not actually quite here there’s not a lot of parking up by the observatory there’s some paid parking along the road but there’s free parking at What’s called the Greek Theater and then there’s a bus that will pick you up so we just parked the car and now we’re going to wait for the bus that runs every uh 10 to 15 minutes all right so we just disembarked the bus and well uh this is pretty amazing here we are Griffith Observatory wow Hollywood so of course the observatory great views of the city but it’s also a planetarium and I do believe there’s telescopes out here that you can use too I don’t see those yet but looks like you can get up on top of the building is it operation [Music] W so we’re out the East Terrace exit of the observatory and Sun continues to burn off the smog a little bit another looking downtown LA place is free so you just got to get up the hill you can hike up the hill you can get paid parking you get up the hill you can do it like we did and park for free ride for free they do have planetarium shows 10 bucks per show I think we’re to check one of those out 5:15 but yeah cool cool cool stuff so the telescope is on the roof it says free admission I don’t know what you can see but uh we could see the telescope this Dome contains the Zeiss 12in reflecting telescope reflecting telescope 7. to 900 p.m. yeah so telescope open for nighttime viewing uh it’s between 700 p.m. and 900 p.m. I don’t know if we’ll be here that late it’s not thank you thank you this is try comfortable I feel like we’re on a rocket ship ready to go to space okay that was uh that was pretty cool presentation I’ll tell you more about it when we get outside it’s almost exactly what I remember yeah this a great planetarian presentation so much has changed over the years with planetariums certainly you know they had the big projector come up and do the star map but then also the whole thing was a video screen so so we’re approaching 600 p.m. I think we’re going to grab the free bus back to our car and make our way back to Long Beach wow we got we packed a lot in today we packed a lot in today lot in lot yeah it’s almost hard to remember we got off a cruise ship this morning so uh yeah back down the hill we go all right so we have arrived back at the Greek Theater thank you dashb time to retrieve the car and head The Long Beach the course is set doesn’t look too bad uh 8 minutes 30 miles we’re supposed to be there by 709 well well well we’ made it back and this may look familiar we’ve returned to the Fairfield and Los Alamitos proba should go check in it’s been a long day but we got a hot tip a hot tip on local tacos people said that the Taco Surf that was not good tacos and we had great tacos in insata in Mexico but um like I said hot tip on local tacos plus I realized we didn’t even tell you how how much we paid to get back from Funko on the Uber that’s the whole question of this video did it make sense for us to spend money instead of walking how much would you have paid uh but okay tacos then we’ll wrap it up we I’m exhausted but tacos all right look not Carl’s Jr but this local Taco spot established 60 years ago not even in this town uh yero California 60 years old so you know it’s going to be good uh here it is oh yeah it’s going to be a Dale taco night just one of my favorite fast food tacos 100% uh and of course it’s California as California gets I think they still got one of the best deals in the business three snack tacos for $2 come on pretty diverse menu here you lot even could get a burger it’s fresh as Dell fresh as Dell let me show you let me show you some authentic California Tacos here we have the classic Del Taco Taco crispy Deluxe Tomatoes make it Deluxe and then the crispy tostada and uh the french fries only in California bone appetit woo sometimes there’s nothing to it but to do it what a great day here in Southern California we got a lot in rosos pinks Hollywood Boulevard the Griffith Observatory and even some local tacos uh the big question is how much did we pay to avoid walking from Funko back to Madam tuso well here’s the step count for today we’re almost 13,000 steps and that walk that we took from Madam tuos to Funko over 3,000 steps took about an hour to make that walk and well uh 12 bucks we paid 12 bucks and I think the 12 bucks was worth it considering everything else we had to do would you have paid the $12 thank you so much for checking out today’s adventure if you’d like to see

I thought you were going to another Lego store.
Thanks for sharing your trip through LA. I was born and raised in Southern CA and moved to AZ 10 years ago. Your trip brought back good memories for me 😊
The Original Tommy's has THE best chili in Los Angeles 2575 Beverly Blvd Los Angeles, CA
Tony, I’m surprised you didn’t go check out the Sunset Strip where all the metal bands got started! Did you see the Greek Theater or just it dropped off? We haven’t been to LA, but it’s on our list.
Nobody has heard of Yermo. My husband was a pastor there and our friends owned the building of the original Del Taco.
Good Evening Tony. I am catching up on your videos that I missed while I was off last week on the NCL Encore
Rounders!
I would hope that the Uber was under $15.00
Didn't go to the magic castle? You would have loved it. It was a few blocks away from you.
Too bad you ego to The Magic Castle… we were there in December…WOW what an AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!
Tony, in Pantages, the second "a" is long. LOL. I love my city. Thanks for the adventures. I hope you enjoyed your visit.
Been absolutely loving your videos visiting LA!
Love how you travel- getting in so many great places in one day and including those bucket list food places too!
Love ya Tony!! I agree that it's up to the cruiser to find out what needs to be documented before your cruise. Most people who have a disability research well ahead of time to find out what is needed.
Loved this vid! Born & raised in LA area, great to see all these places. Went to Planetarium often as a kid, first job across st from Graumans Chinese… Hungry Tiger was street floor of my job, saw my only Streaker run thru there early 70s! Lol. Hamburger Hamlet is probably gone, Went to Farmers Mkt but its very small now. La Brea Tar Pits often. Chinatown, Olvera St, Mulholland Dr to Benedict Canyon…into the Valley and Burbank. Forest Lawn Art, back then Travel Town trains, antique MerryGoRound in Griffith park , ride mini train n horses … Glad i grew up there!! but glad i left in '95.
Trivia: I lived in Long Beach, CA when I was about 3 years old while my dad built houses to make money to go to college. I do remember bits and pieces….a great big "house" that was divided into apartments. And I have a photo with all my little friends at my birthday party. My sister and I were the only "gringas" in the picture. All my little friends were Hispanic. I love that picture!
I am in a diabetic coma listening to this… lol
Hey Tony, my wife Sandy knew before you did that you needed a coldbrew. I think she knows you, hahaha! Enjoyed video. Best Jeff & Sandy Brooklyn NY
Every time I set foot in a Del Taco it smells like wet dog food in the building. I LOVE Taco Bell though.
Chicken and Waffles, Hotdogs and Tacos! That’s my kind of day!
$15 for uber? cheaper then parking?
I just watched Junior Master Chef and the kids had to cook 25 dinners at the Magic Castle!!! I really do need to check out LA.
Get me to the Greek!
Tardis Sauce? Couldn’t help yourself!! Great job with videos.
Love that you enjoyed Southern California. I live in Orange County and love visiting LA and San Diego. You made the best of it all!
Robert Duval does go by ‘Bobby’ to his friends lol
Uber was $45?
$12 definitely worth it!
