You're listening to kf I AM six forty wake Up Call with me Amy King
on demand on the iHeartRadio apps. It's time for your morning wake up call.
Here's Amy King. This is your wake up call for Friday, August
eighteenth. I'm Amy King. Good morning. Okay. So it's been kind
of a heavy week, right so today I'm declaring it fun Friday. I
mean, we've had wildfires, we've had indictments, there's a hurricane on the
way, amazingly, smash and grab, flash mob robberies out of control around
the Southland. So we are going to bring you all of the top stories,
so you're gonna know what's going on, what's your waking up too.
But we're also going to have some fun features and share some fun things that
you can do today and this weekend. So here's what's ahead on the wake
Up Call. Hurricane Hillary has been upgraded to a Category four storm with winds
of one hundred forty five miles per hours. It churns off the Pacific coast
of Mexico. It's expected to weekend before it gets to southern California, but
still expected to bring lots of rain and high winds. Sunday and Monday.
Former President Trump's attorneys have asked for the federal trial for alleged election interference to
start in twenty twenty six, two years longer than the date prosecutors are looking
for. Spam is sending two hundred sixty five thousand cans of canned meat to
Maui to help with relief efforts. Proceeds from the sale of spam going to
go to the Maui wildfire relief. Let's get started with some of the stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom that storm headed towards southern California
has strengthened to a Category four hurricane off the Pacific coast of Mexico. Forecasters
say Hurricane Hillary has sustained winds up to one hundred forty five miles per hour.
They say the storm will weekend before it hits California, but could still
bring several inches of rain along the coast Sunday into Monday. Rain is still
expected for inland areas, and there is the possibility of flooding. Officials in
Palm Springs are urging residents to get ready for potentially dangerous conditions because of Hurricane
Hillary. The city says empty sand bags will be available at five Palm Springs
fire stations each day. Officials are also advising residents to stay off roads if
they can. As much as five inches of rain could fall into Palm Springs,
as much as nine inches as possible in the San Jacinto Mountains Sunday and
Monday morning. Some locals on Maui say they're still waiting for help from the
local and federal government. Pinetta says he can't understand why officials didn't react and
respond faster following the wildfires last week in Lahina. They weren't getting anything.
I was there for two days, were you know, nothing, All the
stores are called, the gas seasons are closed, you know, everything like
that, so people and then finally everything started happening where you know the food
is. Panetta lost his job because of the fires and has been housing people
who lost their homes. He says he has to support his family and if
he can't find a job soon, he may have to move to the mainland.
On Maui. Steve Gregory Campine News, Thank you, Steve. Around
twenty thousand residents have been told to leave the capital of Canada's northwest territories.
As a wildfire gets closer to the city, many have driven out, while
others waited for emergency flights to Alberta. Officials say one of the wildfires burning
west of yellow Knife is more than four hundred seven thousand acres and spans more
than six hundred square miles. There are more than a thousand fires a thousand
fires burning across Canada. A new task force is targeting flash mob robberies across
LA. Officials have announced a regional task force dedicated to catching the thieves.
The task force, announced yesterday is a joint effort between the LAPD, Burbank
PDLA County Sheriff's Department, and more Sheriff Lutas says retail theft has been an
issue for some time. From the all of twenty twenty one through August sixteenth,
the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department is aware of at least one hundred and
seventy organized retail defts. Retailers have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars for mobs
recently running in and loading up on merchandise. A security guard was attacked with
bear sprain. One of the robberies, like trolley. K if I News
Blue Shield of California is going to stop using most CVS health Is Pharmacy services
so it can work with other providers. The nonprofit insurer says it wants to
reduce drug costs for its members as it plans to partner with other companies like
Amazon and cost Plus Drugs. Blue Shields CEO says the decision has been in
the works since CBS refused to carry a cheaper version of a cancer drug earlier
this year. The hearing officer overseeing disbarment proceedings of former Chapman University Law School
dean John Eastman could put those hearings on hold. Eastman is facing criminal charges
in Georgia for election interference. Eastman's lawyer says his client can't get a fair
hearing now that he's been indicted with former President Trump. A state bar attorney
argued it was obvious Eastman could face criminal charges when a judge ordered Eastman to
turn over emails to the January sixth Congressional Committee. El Segundo has won a
rain shortened game against Ohio in the opening round of the Little League World Series
in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Fans back home cheered the team on at Rock and
Bruce El Segundo last night. I mean, this is like a very in
a small town. Good community loves baseball, and I just feel like there's
some real special going on with this team. So the whole town came together.
We're pulling for him. We gotta win this one. After going into
the third inning down three to one, El Segundo rallied back with back to
back home runs to go up by one before the rain started a fall and
the game was called early. El Segundo will play again Monday at four pm
on ESPN two. It is Fun Friday. We got some fun things coming
up if you're headed to the movies. So let's say good morning to ABC's
entertainment guru, Jason Nathanson. Jason, anyone going to beat Barbie this weekend?
It is possible. Blue Beetle is going to take down Barbie at the
box office, which is over a month now on top, and you know
it's hard to say Barbie is fading. The performance has been so fantastic and
this week setting another record as the highest grossing movie ever domestically for Warner Brothers.
Warner Brothers, the studio behind Superman, Batman, Harry Potter and all
those films. And Barbie is the biggest film ever for Warner Brothers, not
adjusted for inflation, so that's pretty incredible. But eventually, you know,
you can only make so much money in a weekend, and it diminishes each
weekend, and something's gonna come along and take over that spot. And it's
probably gonna be Blue Beetle, which is also another Warner Brothers movie. The
Warner Brothers is going to take over for itself. Good late summer, yeah,
exactly, great August for them. And we're not talking about a huge
amount of money either for Blue Beetle, and probably in the thirty thirty five
million dollars range. But that's that that that would be enough, uh for
Bart to take over for Barbie. And I'm actually surprised that Blue Beetle would
not make more money. This is it's the first live action Latino superhero ever
put on screen by d It's the kid from Cobra Kai. Yes, exactly,
love him, Yeah, Zolomar Duenna and he's the you know, if
you know Cobra Kai. Great. The cast itself not a whole bunch of
huge names. It mostly focuses on him and his family the and I think
the high highest profile name in the family would probably be George Lopez, who
people know, but you know mostly you know, not huge names in this
I like that. I like it when they have like relatively unknown so you're
not worried about, oh what other shows that they've been. And I think
sometimes the big names pull you out of the movie from just enjoying the ex
Yeah, that that is true sometimes, And I think that's the case with
the villain here, played by Susan Surrandon, who I don't think necessarily fits
in this character. Yeah, I it's a it's a kind of strange casting
choice. I think. I mean, she's fine, but I think the
fact that it Susan Surrandon takes you out of it a little bit. I
don't think you hear Susan Surrandon was fine very often. She's so great.
Yeah, no, she is. I mean she she's a great actress.
It's just it feels a little bit out of place here. And the basic
story is Zelamarla going and plays him, who is a recent college grad.
He returns home to his home of palmera city which is kind of a stand
in for for Miami, and he things aren't going well for his family.
They're they're issues, They're losing their home, u the father just had a
recent heart attack which she didn't tell him about, and things. He needs
to make money and do some stuff, and he unexpectedly finds himself in possession
of this ancient relic of alien biotechnology called the Scarab, which fuses with him
and he becomes this blue beetle superhero and he goes off to fight evil.
And you know, it's got a lot of the same beats that you could
you've come to expect from these comic book movies, but it is so steeped
in Latino culture that it brings this really fresh perspective to the genre, a
genre that can feel a little bit stale at this point. It's surprisingly emotional,
which I really enjoyed. Emotional among all the usual comic book silliness that
you know we've come to expect from a film like this. Do you mean
emotional like you're crying, Yeah, exactly. You know that's what happened at
the Guardians of the Galaxy Volume three. I was bawling during that movie.
Well, and then so then I think it's very possible that you could be
bawling during this one too, because there are some There are several big emotional
moments, and Guardians was a very emotional movie as well. Overall, this
is about the strength of family and that really kind of shines through. Uh
And I you know, I liked it. I'm not gonna say I loved
it, but I liked it. There's there's a weird eighties thing to the
movie, which just kind of doesn't really make sense as to why it.
I guess the director just really likes the eight and that really kind of comes
through, but there's no real sense to it rhyme or reason. We've seen
a lot of eighties stuff in movies. I think at this point we can
kind of leave that to the side. But overall, I liked it,
and I think people are going to connect with it. Okay, are we
going to be bawling when we go see Strays? I didn't get a chance
to see Strays, so I don't know if that's going to be the case
this weekend too. Yes it is, and but I don't think bawling is
necessarily what they're going for. It is a hard R rated comedy which is
about a bunch of dogs who can talk and or at least talk to each
other. And it's not animated. It's actual, live action, real dogs,
you know, So they did whatever they put the peanut butter in the
mouths or you know, whatever they do to get the mouths moving, probably
Cgi at this point, but Will Ferrell voices Reggie, who's kind of a
naive and optimistic Border Terrier who's abandoned by his low life owner, Doug,
and Reggie is trying to get back to Doug, not really knowing that Doug
just really kind of sucks until he's kind of made to realize that by a
Boston Terrier, a foul mouth to Boston Terrier who is voiced by Jamie Fox.
So you have that, then you have a bunch of you know,
talking, l rated talking dogs. So you know, I think that'll be
for some people. It'll probably won't be for others. It's getting mixed reviews,
but overall most are saying that it's pretty funny. Okay, well,
I think you know what, it might be a good week. We can
to go to the theaters because it's supposed to be cloudy tomorrow and then we're
supposed to get of course, because Hillary is heading our direction. Yeah,
and just make sure that the theater had the air conditioning is working at the
theater that you go to. It was not at mind really and not at
least for the first hour or so, which was not a pleasant experience.
That would be miserable. What do you do at that point? You know,
either, like I had to watch the movie, but it just it
was not the most comfortable. Okay, Yeah, so check before you go
in. You know what I do. I go to the Eye Pick and
the Look Cinemas. Okay, so there's a little recliner, there's a little
food, and if it is hut and body, I can have a cocktail.
I will always go for the recliner. But most of those recliners these
days their leather seats, So combine that with no air conditioning and you're in
for a sticky movie. Okay. Jason Nathans, and thanks so much for
your review of Blue Beetle Tyler. Tyler Sawton said it was good, but
don't expect it to be a marvel good exactly. Yep, yes, correct,
I would agree with that. This is also this is a DC movie.
This is the first movie the DC is changing everything they've hired new people
to James gunn To, who was the director of Guardians of the Galaxy,
which made you to make the whole DC universe more marvel like. This ended
up being the first movie as a part of that. So we'll see where
it goes from here. All right, Thanks again, Jason, We'll talk
to you soon. Take care. Hurricane Hillary has grown to a Category four
storm off the Pacific coast of Mexico, could be the first tropical storm to
hit southern California in eighty four years. Forecasters say there could be significant impacts,
including severe flooding ahead of Maui County's Emergency Management Agency, who didn't sound
warning sirens as wildfires swept through, has resigned. He says he was afraid
residence hearing an alarm would have fled inland toward the flames. The WGA and
the Alliance of Motion Picture and TV Producers have met again working to find a
way to end the writer's strike. The CEOs of several major studios are planning
to meet today to talk about next moves. If thirty five, we're gonna
be talking to the host of Home on KFI, Dean Sharp, and in
continuing with our fun Friday theme. We've got a little trivia game so we
can play along at home or in your car. At six oh five,
it's handle on the news. The head of the emergency Management Agency, as
I mentioned from Mawick County, has resigned a search cruise continue to search for
the remains of more than a thousand people still missing. Okay, this weekend,
great opportunity for you to add to your family if you're looking for a
new fur baby. We got to go to Pasadena Humane to meet some of
the dogs and cats and even rabbits available for adoption. So just know that
a cat named Mo joined us for our interview. Not Mo, Kelly,
Mo kitty get it? Okay? Yeah, so he was jumping up and
down. He was exploring. So when I seem kind of distracted, that's
why. So let's say good morning to the PR and communications manager at Pasadena
Humane, Kevin McManus. If a mee king with wake up call, we're
at the Pasadena Humane Society. You know what, this is much better than
a couple of seconds ago. The dogs are lovely, but boy they're loud.
Yeah, I've got Kevin McManus here with us, and Kevin is with
the Humane Society and tell us about the special event we have going this weekend
that may enable you to take home a cat like this. Yeah, we're
having a free adoption event on Saturday the nineteenth. It will run from ten
am to two pm here at the Shelter three sixty one South Raymond here in
Pasadena. All dogs, cats, kittens and critters can be adopted at no
charge. We're expecting a whole lot of people to come out. It's our
Clear the Shelters adoption event. So if you have space in your home for
a four letting friend, please come out and adopt one for free on Saturday.
And so it's free. Like you guys take care of all the spaying,
neutering, all of that, that's correct. Yeah, you have to
provide the home, that's right. We even give you a carrier to take
your cat home or at least for your dog. But yeah, all the
pets are Spade new neard, micro chipped and have age appropriate vaccines. Okay,
And summer months that's when you really need to do the Clear the Shelter
events because they get really crowded. Why did they get so crowded in the
summer, that's a great question. We're kind of at the tail end of
kitten season, so we've had lots and lots of kittens all throughout the summer.
We still have lots and lots of kittens. We do. We just
saw a lot of where are you going? Even guys like mo he's only
about maybe seven eight months now. But you know, dogs as well.
We just in the summer, there's always a little bit of an uptick.
I think it's, you know, a time when people are moving and their
pets get displaced, especially the last year. Okay, so we have we
do have some puppies and kittens, but let's talk about adults. Because adult
dogs are great. They're already trained, they're already a little calmer, and
they make wonderful additions to your family. And I noticed that I saw a
lot of pit bulls or pit bull mixes, and oh my god, they're
so beautiful and they were so friendly. Pit Bulls are good dogs. They
are. Yeah, yeah, there are no bad dogs. But you know,
I think pit bulls have four years and years and years had this really
bad reputation. It's you know, we say it over and over again,
it's it's not the dog. It's the person who's trained the dog. We
do, you know, we look at every dog's behavior and make sure that
it is going to be a safe adoption for the community. That's our job
as a socially conscious shelter. So if a dog, regardless of breed,
is showing you know, aggressiveness or you know, tendencies that we would be
you know, worried about, uh, then we wouldn't make that dog available
for adoption. Pit Bulls some of the sweetest dogs that we I've met here
in the over you know, the decades that I've worked here have been pitbulls.
You know, they're they're great, great dogs for the most part,
and yeah, they get a really bad rap. Okay. And so once
again, the adoption event is this Saturday. You do do you need to
make appointments? How do you do that? Yeah, we will have a
whole lot of people here, we anticipate, So my advice is to try
to arrive early that we opened the doors at nine. In the past when
we've had these adoption events, we've had people lining up, you know,
an hour before. That makes me very happy. It's great, it's wonderful.
But having said that, have a look at our website, which has
update pictures of all of the animals. I have a couple in mind because
you know, if the first person in the door adopts the dog you had
your heart set on, you should have a backup plan. Okay, is
it first come, first serve? Okay? Great? So if you come
down to adopt to the shelter Fastinating Maine Society the Saturday, you could be
going home with one of these, with one of the Oh it's gonna say,
one of those where'd she go? Oh? Okay, will you get
this nester? And also if you want to check out other shelters that are
also doing clear the Shelter events this month, it's clear the Shelters dot com.
And for that information you can check the wake up Call page on KFI
AM six forty dot com and case you didn't get a chance to write it
down, also check out my instagram at Amy k King and also at KFI
AM six forty for some fun videos and the interview so you can see that
little adorable mo kitty who hung out and disrupted our interview. Let's get back
to some of the stories coming out of the KFI twenty four hour news room
a little rumbly. This morning, a magnitude three point earthquake hit near Hemmett.
The shaker at four forty seven am was centered four miles south of Hemmett.
News brought to you by American Vision Windows. Another bus from Texas carrying
migrants has arrived at Union Station in downtown LA. Mayor Bass's office says the
bus that arrived yesterday was carrying forty migrants from Brownsville Tech. It had fourteen
families, including twelve kids. The LA Welcome's Collective says about twenty nine people
came from Venezuela. Others traveled from Columbia, El Salvador, Guatemala, and
Honduras. More than three hundred asylum seekers from Texas have arrived on eight buses
in LA since June fourteenth. A former Anaheim City councilman says another federal guilty
plea tied to a shady Angel Stadium deal is not the end of the city's
corruption. Federal prosecutors say former Mayor Harry Sadu has agreed to plead guilty to
multiple corruption charges tied to the now dead twenty twenty Angels stadium sale. Assistant
US attorney Joseph McNally says Sadu compromised Anaheim's negotiating position by providing confidential information in
secretly working to influence the city's decision making process. Court records alleged to Do
was caught on tape demanding one million dollars in campaign donations for his help pushing
through a stadium deal that was beneficial for the team. Former Anaheim councilman Jose
Moreno opposed the deal. We should still be very weary as Harry Sadu did
not work alone and was working with interest and with the executive staff that are
still in place today. Reno says, it's all about millions of dollars in
campaign donations. The Angels got their piece that they wanted. Disney is at
the center of all of this funding the hotel and tourism industry. We're also
part of this political coordination to control our cities politics, the Angels says.
The dous plea offers no evidence of wrongdoing by the team. Disney declined to
comments. To Do is Do back in court later this month. In Anaheim,
Corbin Carson k if I News, we're doing the fun thing today because
everything's so heavy this weekend indictments, flash and flash and flash, mobs of
smash and grab robbers and the wildfire and all of that stuff. So let's
have some fun with our house whisperer waking up to the host of Home on
KFI, Dean sharp Amy. Hello, so we're going I'm doing great.
We're having fun this Friday. Yes, So we're starting today with some architectural
trivia so you can play along and home too. Okay, exactly, just
fun. Fact, we're gonna extend this into tomorrow morning show on Sunday.
We're gonna be talking about fences and walls and hedges in your backyard, not
just the stuff on the perimeter of the yard, but how to utilize those
elements inside your yard to create destinations and a little bit of romance and all
sorts of good stuff. The right way to use those features in your yard.
But tomorrow and right now, just some trivia, just to have fun,
just to lighten the load a little bit. Absolutely, Okay, let's
go all right, Are you ready? Score? Uh? No, I
never keep score. I don't hold grudges and I don't keep score. So
there you go. Oh are you a participation trophy guy? No, No,
I'm not actually no, it's just you know, it just doesn't matter
today. Okay, how about this, how about what is totally wrong with
the columns of the White House and just about every other house with columns.
They're Greek. I don't know, they are Greek. I'll tell you what's
wrong. They're white. They're white. This is such a weird thing for
me, but it's true. Okay. So the style is called Neoclassic,
right, neoclass or Greek revivalism, some people call it. It started back
in the fifteen hundreds with now a just an absolute legendary architect, Andrea Palladio,
and it continued on and of course at the founding of our country,
when we were going through the Enlightenment and deciding, hey, we want a
democracy, and so let's hearken our architecture back, especially our government buildings,
back to the ancient Greeks, who've you know, first invented democracy, all
that wonderful stuff, right, But we were basing all of that appearance off
of these ruins Greek and Rowan ruins of marble columns, white marble columns.
But in latter years, of course, we discovered that the Greeks and the
Romans both painted their columns over with bright, beautiful colored paints, and we
didn't know that at the time. No one knew that at the time.
So the entire genre of Neoclassical and Greek revivalist architecture is technically incorrect in that
it was all white on white on white, because all we saw were these
ruins that have, after you know, two thousand years, been stripped of
their paints. Okay, so they painted over white marble. They painted over
white marble. Yeah, that wasn't the construction of the marble was the was
the was intended because it was a material that they had readily and it was
going to last for a long time time. But they were very bright,
vibrant, beautifully painted structures. Okay, well, I'm just gonna say I'm
glad we didn't know that, because I don't think purple and orange pillars on
the White House would look good. I wouldn't it though, No, Okay,
okay, all right, but there you go. There you go.
That's an entire field of genre of architecture that got it wrong because we got
the archaeology wrong. Yeah, okay, so there you go, all right,
Next one, why do so many Southern homes have wrap around porches because
they need a place to have the rocking chairs. Uh that's true, Yes,
the best true. I love the rocking chairs on Southern porches. I
know, right, aren't they just the most romantic thing imaginable. The technical
reason is that because of the heat I wrap around porch on the first floor
windows provided shade for all of the first floor windows, and that that allowed
them to open up those first floor windows and the upstairs windows and kind of,
through a convection effect, draw in as heat escaped out of the second
floor windows, cooler porch air got drawn in through through the first floor windows
and essentially did its job of air conditioning the house. Okay, alright,
alright, what's the next one. How about this? Have you ever seen
those little fence railings up at the top of an old Victorian home, like
way up on the roof, righty things that don't do anything? Yeah?
Yeah, So what is that thing? I don't know. It's to keep
the squirrels from jumping, it would seem. So. It's actually called a
widows walk. It's a flat roof at the top of an Italianate Victorian home
and it was name a Widows Walk initially because the idea is that's a flat
roof up there, there's a railing that you could stand there. And it
was the idea of the wives of mariners on the northeastern coast standing up on
that roof looking out to see for their husbands to come home. Ah,
and often their husband's taken by the sea. Therefore they became widows and it
got named the Widows Walk. Okay, okay, I want to do this
one. All right, Which of the three little pigs houses should you build
in California? All right, there you go. Okay, so what are
your options. You've got straw, you got sticks, and you got bricks.
Okay, okay, which one do you think? Uh? Probably uh?
Straw? Uh no? Oh okay, straw very very fire prone.
Oh okay, good point. Not a good idea. I'm thinking of earthquakes.
And that's why I didn't say bricks. Okay, Well, you were
absolutely right about that, because so the proper answer is if you were you
know, if the big bad wolf is southern California environment, then you want
to build your house out of sticks, which is what we do. Actually
nowadays, the actual style are the the term for a standard home that's built
out of two by four lumber and is called stick framing. Stick framing is
strong, but it allows some flexibility in the walls. Our walls can flex
and move back and forth during an earthquake. Something that we realized very early
on when we brought a lot of East Coast architecture out here with brick and
stone is that brick and stone buildings, as strong as they are, they
have no flex in them. And so when the ground starts moving, they
don't just crumble. Actually they explode. The pressure builds up in the wall
and they just completely blow out. So we don't want straw because fires,
and we don't want bricks because earthquakes. So our best option sticks. That's
the way to go. Okay, we got time for one more. Okay.
This is something everybody can relate to. What did most architects before the
nineteen seventies think was completely unnecessary to put in southern California homes air conditioning?
Uh? No, air conditioning would have been nice, that would have been
and a lot of them had air conditioning exterior wall insulation. Oh yeah.
Pre nineteen seventies houses, typically in Southern California, tract houses no insulation in
the exterior wall. Is that because we thought of insulation as a thing for
cold exactly. It was a complete misunderstanding of the value of insulation for hot
weather. We just thought, well, you know, you insulate because you
know, you put a code on when it gets cold, that's when you
insulate. And it's not cold in southern California, so we don't need insulation,
so just let the walls just be. And of course now we know
that that is a complete misnomer, and I harp every single weekend. It
seems like at some point or another about the value of increasing the insulation in
your home, because what you really want is to you know, create kind
of a you know, a thermal mug out of your home, which it
keeps things hot when you want to keep a beverage hot, and keeps it
cold when you want to keep it cold. The whole idea of insulation is
to separate the environment inside from whatever's going on outside, so that you can
have essentially the opposite if you want, and it goes both ways. And
that was just a huge misunderstanding of insulation. Okay, So basically what you're
saying is we should all create a little yetti exactly. If your home is
a yetti, you are in the best possible of circumstances for all kinds of
weather. Okay, and you're gonna be doing more American Architecture trivia on your
show tomorrow morning from six to eight correct, and again, of course,
Dean Sharp Home with Dean Sharp on Sunday from nine to noons. You have
two chances to catch them. Thanks so much for catching up with us,
Dean. Thanks Amy. The WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and TV
Producers have met again working to find a way to end the writers strike.
The CEOs of several major studios are scheduled to meet today to talk about next
moves. We're just minutes away from Handle. On the news this morning,
Blue Shield of California has dumped CVS and instead says it's going to work with
Amazon and Mark Cuban's Drug Company. In continuing with the fun Friday theme,
let's say good morning now to Nick polio Chini. Nick. We've got this
Weekend with Nick, which is a regular feature on Later with Mo Kelly on
Friday nights, And we need a little sneak peek of what's coming up this
weekend. Sounds great. So I've got three things for you, and you
heard it when we came back from break. Some hype music going on this
weekend is going to be a Lucha baboum. If you have not attended that
and am not familiar with Lucca our wrestling, it is a unique situation.
So if you are a fan of WWE, this is a great opportunity for
you to not only experience something akin to that, but also there we go,
there's the hype music, and Lucha baboom is an experience where it's not
just lucha libre or free wrestling from the Hispanic culture. And we're just under
a month from a Hispanic Heritage Month, but this is an amazing experience for
you. It's like burlesque, so it's kind of a mashup for you burlesque
wrestling. Yeah, so there's a whole experience to it. You've got a
live band, you have live singers. It's not just a WWE thing that
you might see it so far. This happens at the Mayan Theater in downtown
LA and it's actually been going since twenty two thousand and two, so it's
huge. They also do a version of it in Orange County, So this
is something if you've not experienced it, you can check that out tomorrow night,
and it's a great time. It is twenty one and over, so
just a heads up for you there. But it's a great date night experience
because it's kind of covers sports, it covers music, it covers entertainment,
you name it, you got it. Okay, a little something for everyone,
a little something for everybody. In the same story going down in Orange
County at Irvine Spectrum. They're gonna have the Silent Disco. They've been doing
this all summer long, but from six to nine tomorrow night, you will
be able to enjoy a silent disco. If you're not experienced this before.
It's Bluetooth headphones, so you'll see a huge group of people that all have
different headphones on. There's a DJ that spinning live music. Tomorrow night is
going to be a disco themed Spectrum night Fever, and you'll be kind of
it's fun to watch people dancing around when you don't exactly know what they're listening
to. So it's you know, it's very instagrammable and very social media wise.
And then the last thing I got for you is in the Inland Empire,
we are getting ready to go back to school. If you've been experiencing
more folks with you on the roadways, So a Riverside City College, we'll
be having their welcome day that has happening tomorrow all day long, and that's
a great opportunity for you if you are getting you know you're a freshman,
if you're moving from high school into college. You'll get campus tours if you're
going to be attending RCC. And there's a lot of giveaways and things for
the Inland Empire, for Riverside and Sabertino County. So okay, those are
just a few of the things you're going to hear on this weekend with Nick
coming up tonight at eight o'clock on Later with mo Kelly. And of course
you don't only get paying events with this Weekend with Nick, you also do
a special on things that are ending this weekend, and I'll also call Last
Call and also the quote free ninety nine events. That's always the way it
is, so it's sometimes nice to just go out and enjoy each other and
not have to pay times. So we make sure to keep you up to
date on that, especially for this week I Nick, So thanks Amy.
Thanks Nick. You know, with the weather turning south, it might be
a good opportunity for you to take in a movie this weekend. Of course,
there's Barbie if you haven't seen that yet. The Blue Beetle debuts,
as Jason Nathanson told us, And The Haunted Mansion is still in theaters and
I got a chance to go see it the other day. This mansion is
unhinged. These ghosts definitely don't want to leave. Death lurks around every corner.
God give us a break. And there's so many bad people in the
world haunt them, amen, I do like surprise, is anybody else seeing
this The Haunted Mansion? Of course, the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. It's
about nine hundred ninety nine happy haunts. This movie stars Owen Wilson, la
Keith Stanfield, Rosario Dawson, Tiffany Hattish, Danny DeVito. Plus there's a
few surprises of some stars you might not know are in the movie. So
I'm going to say that the movie is good. I don't think it was
great. If you are a fan of the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, you're
going to appreciate a lot of the visual stuff. That's lots of so called
easter eggs because there are pieces of the movie where they literally replicate the ride.
So if you're a fan of that, that's a really cool thing.
The visual effects are amazing. The story is pretty. The story is interesting,
but it felt a little bit forced to me. And I think the
movie went too long. I'm not I think it was like two hours fifteen
minutes and it was like about fifteen minutes too long. So you know,
there are nine hundred ninety nine happy haunts in the Haunted Mansion, but as
the movie starts, they're not happy at all, and that's how the movie
starts. Like I said, it's good and I think since the weather's turning
wonky this weekend, I think it might be great to go and take in
a movie. This would be a good one if you don't want to see
Barbie again. Some of the stories we're following out of the KFI twenty four
hour newsroom. SpaceX has delayed its Falcon nine rocket launch again, this time
