00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:06.000
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly
on demand from KFI AM six forty.

2
00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:10.199
Now it's time for not Aica Daily
Cruise. Well, thank you so very

3
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.560
much, and happy Friday, mo
Kelly. All right, Well, you

4
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.640
know every single Friday I talk about
discovering SoCal and the weather is getting a

5
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.839
little bit better, so I didn't
go too far, but I did go

6
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:26.000
kind of like almost in our backyard. So my discover SoCal location was the

7
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:33.479
Walt Disney's Carol Wood Barn Museum,
addresses fifty two two Zoo Drive in La

8
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:39.039
Griffith Park area. I should say
it's only opened get this the third Sunday

9
00:00:39.159 --> 00:00:42.920
of the month. It's opened from
eleven am to three pm. Free admission

10
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:48.520
in parking and the Walt Disney Carlwood
Barn Museum is probably the cutest and the

11
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:54.439
quaintest little spot to take your kids
and learn about Walt Disney's obsession with trains

12
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:59.119
and to see what was once his
barn. This was actually once his barn.

13
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:04.200
The Walt Disney Barn member told me
that walk love trains and that as

14
00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:11.280
a teen, Walt Disney was once
a news butcher on the on three train

15
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.879
lines. Now a news. Butcher
was a person who worked on passenger railroad

16
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.040
sellings like newspapers, candies, cigars
to the passengers, and even sometimes handling

17
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:26.640
passengers luggages as well. So when
you first walk in, you'll see this

18
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:34.040
really bright kind of florescent yellow redline
one combined Santa Fe and Disney train that

19
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.959
was used on the opening day in
nineteen fifty five. You can't miss it.

20
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:40.959
It is so bright. I tell
you that if you go, you

21
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:44.400
might as well just walk in with
some like sunglasses, because that's how bright

22
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:49.719
it is. The train was used
for ten years until more people started visiting

23
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.920
Disneyland, and then it officially retired
a year after I was born. Yes,

24
00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:00.640
nineteen seventy four. Yes, you
could walk around the train, but

25
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:05.920
not inside, and it looks absolutely
immaculate. Now behind the train you could

26
00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:08.879
take a small tour where you could
see items that have been preserved from Walt

27
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:15.759
Disney, such as the Disneyland Parkside
plan of nineteen fifty three. Original passenger

28
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.319
tickets from the train, which were
I don't know, they were like more

29
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.800
like a four by six. Now
you get this, you don't even get

30
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:28.039
a pass like a ticket. Disneyland's
first ever sponsored pamphlet of the park and

31
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.400
where the train would stop you.
There is a drawing of the monorail crossing

32
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:38.319
from nineteen fifty eight which shows that
Walt Disney was really ahead of his time.

33
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:44.439
A very first Disneyland board game,
which I never even knew existed.

34
00:02:45.080 --> 00:02:47.639
Now, from that charming little memorabilia
room, you could cross over to the

35
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:53.400
Walt Disney Barn, and I tell
you it's very, very point, and

36
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.319
it's just a delight, and it
has so much history in there. Now,

37
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:00.479
the Walt Workshop, which was his
man cave, was kind of where

38
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:06.639
he escaped. Now, back then, man caves were like barns. Nowadays

39
00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:09.039
you have she sheds and you have
he sheds, and you have these shes

40
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:14.199
that you can make in tatiki rooms
and all this other stuff. But this

41
00:03:14.240 --> 00:03:17.360
is where his creative juices and brilliance
came to life. And all the workbenches

42
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:23.319
and they were hand built by Walt
Disney himself. They're in immaculate condition as

43
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:30.159
well. You'll see his King George
and the fifth Livestream engine, which was

44
00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:34.080
purchased in nineteen fifty one in a
store in London. You'll see some of

45
00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:38.639
the books. You'll see books on
trains and engines and diagrams tools he used,

46
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.960
and there are original toolboxes and a
few pictures of him working in his

47
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:49.639
barn and on the trains. There
are some personal items. There's the actual

48
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:55.000
phone that was used to communicate between
the barn and the main house, and

49
00:03:54.400 --> 00:04:00.319
there is also his very own shaving
kit while often and started work in the

50
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.919
bar and early in the morning and
he would shave. And you see the

51
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.800
sink there too, where you you
know, you kind of feel his presence

52
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:11.520
when you're there. The last thing
to see is the Ali Johnson's Railroad Depot

53
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.399
depot, which is a small working
train at the end of kind of like

54
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:20.199
at the end of the museum.
And there's also really cute souvenir collectible place.

55
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:24.639
It's called Souvenirs Collectibles and what have
you. I love the name of

56
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.839
that little snore. So for a
little museum, I have to say,

57
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.160
there is a lot to see.
So don't blink. Do not blink,

58
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.959
and just take your time really walking
through either the barn or the where the

59
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:41.079
train is. And if you are
a Disney fan of Walt Disney, I

60
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.560
have to say that you really get
a sense of who he was, how

61
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.839
his mind work, how creative he
was. There were a lot of sketches

62
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.839
that you kind of go, I
think this is a ride at Disneyland,

63
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:55.160
but I don't know, And some
of it were kind of hit a missus

64
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.639
failures, but they were just ideas. There were just things he really wanted

65
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:04.000
to to life. So for more
information on when they are open, you

66
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:11.399
could also follow them on Instagram at
Waltz Barn or visit www Carolwood dot org.

67
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:16.319
The Carrollwood Foundation preserves Walt Disney's railroad
legacy. And just an fyi,

68
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:23.199
Walt Disney Barn is celebrating twenty five
years at Griffith Park. Mark your calendar

69
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.600
for July twentieth and twenty first.
I'll give this to Tuala two because I

70
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.319
know he kind of mentions things that
are coming up. So mark your calendar

71
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:35.160

74
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:48.959

it's just like I said, it's a

75
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.399
really, really cute place. It's
only opened once again. I will repeat

76
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:58.480
myself because I had to wait third
Sunday of the month. It is free.

77
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.480
They do take donations, he said
free. Yeah, it's free ninety

78
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.519
nine for we love free. See
parking is also free ninety nine freesky.

79
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:10.279
But it's only opened eleven am to
three pm and it's five to zero two

80
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:15.199
zoo drive in La Griffith Park area. And on Instagram you could follow them

81
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.079
at Walt's Barn. You gave us
a lot of information, a lot of

82
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:25.240
history for four hours that it could
be open one day a month. How

83
00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:30.079
much time did you spend there to
get all of that, to digest all

84
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:32.879
of that? I spent one hour, so a good thirty minutes inside that

85
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:38.560
little where the yellow train was.
Because you have to and I'm just giving

86
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:42.279
you just like the basics, because
I want you to go. I want

87
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:45.560
you to take that Sunday, third
Sunday of the month and take your kids

88
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.600
and take your family. And if
you're a Disney lover and if you're just

89
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:53.240
a fan of Walt's there's so much
to see. I mean things that you

90
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:56.879
were like, wow, I mean
you see diagrams, you see some of

91
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:02.279
his personal stuff. You see things
that his his mind mode was just brilliant,

92
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:06.279
just brilliant. He was ahead of
his time. When you see the

93
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:11.759
diagram on the wall of the mono
rail, you were like, yo,

94
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:16.519
you were thinking, like way ahead
decades really, and this is just so

95
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:20.680
much to see. So about I
spent about thirty minutes in the where the

96
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:25.959
yellow train is, and then I
was in line for about a good probably

97
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.839
ten minutes inside the barn because everyone
wants to see that, and they only

98
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.079
let so many people inside the barn
because it's you know, it's not a

99
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.680
really big barn, but there's so
many little things to see. So that

100
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:41.439
takes about a good thirty minutes and
people are just intrigued. And his actual

101
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:46.000
tools because he had this fascination for
trains, you know what I mean.

102
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:50.639
And he had books on trains,
on engines and stuff I don't even know

103
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:57.240
how to pronounce, and just intricate
stuff. And you know, you see

104
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:01.879
Walt Disney as this person who created
Disneyland and disney World, but you also

105
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:03.800
go you kind of look at him
and you go, I feel like,

106
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.600
still there's that little boy in him, you know what I mean. I

107
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.480
think in every man. There's a
little boy and that really wants to express

108
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.720
themselves and show who they are and
see their creator and show them their show

109
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.160
you their creativity. Well that was
fantastic. You've given me something to do.

110
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.000
I'm going to put that on my
calendar because I am curious to know

111
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:26.439
and dying to see it. Yes, yes, so definitely. Like I

112
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:31.000
said, only the third Sunday of
the month open from eleven am to three

113
00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:35.000
pm. Free admission, free parking. They do like to take donations if

114
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.919
possible, and once again you could
follow them on Instagram at Walt Disney's Barn.

115
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.120
That's Nataka Dela Cruz. We'll have
more on this Friday Night with Nataka

116
00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.120
in just a moment. It's Later
with mo Kelly if I am six forty.

117
00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.639
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Later with Mo

118
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.360
Kelly on demand from KFI AM six
forty. Now back to you, Naica

119
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.879
Dela Cruz. Well, thank you
so very much. Love that beat right

120
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:03.320
there. All right, Well it
is Friday and I have a beautiful young

121
00:09:03.399 --> 00:09:07.639
lady as a hidden gem. Her
name is Megan Riley. Megan Riley was

122
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.919
adopted at five years old by a
male family friend due to her mother's substance

123
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.120
a youth struggles. By ten years
old, the family friend had passed away,

124
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:22.399
and Megan learned that her adopted father
was not her biological father. Hoping

125
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:26.080
to keep some stability in her life, the man's oldest daughter assumed care for

126
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.879
her for a brief period of time. Unfortunately, shortly after the transition,

127
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.000
her caretaker contacted the Department of Family
Services stated that she was no longer able

128
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.480
to care for Megan. Megan ended
up in foster Youth Home feeling alone,

129
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:48.559
scared, and with an overwhelming sense
of grief and abandonment. Her first few

130
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.000
weeks there were very difficult. She
had trouble communicating her needs and making friends.

131
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:58.120
Megan also struggled with schedules and any
type of structure. Over time,

132
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:03.639
Megan devel a strong love for animals, like we all love animals, and

133
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.279
in high school and in her high
school years she interned at a local pet

134
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.080
shelter, and you know, she
needed some She also needed some what do

135
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:15.919
you call it, the community credit? I guess so that it was helpful

136
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:20.559
for her. She felt that she
liked animals more than people. I think

137
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.200
we all can agree on that,
and she became a vet nurse at VCA

138
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:30.039
Hospital. Megan said she ended up
in the care of additional family members,

139
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.840
but she just couldn't shake off the
feeling of being in a foster youth home

140
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.440
and feeling so scared. She said
it was something that was very hard to

141
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:43.159
forget and didn't want any young child
to feel that way. She was very

142
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.279
blessed enough to receive love and be
in a loving environment with a family she

143
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:54.399
deserved. She wanted to show kindness
and warmth to other young children, so

144
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.919
she connected with LA y N,
which stands for the Los Angeles Youth Network,

145
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:05.759
also known as YES Youth Emerging Stronger
dot org. The Los Angeles Youth

146
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:11.200
Network have different programs for homeless,
minor youths ages twelve to seventeen and also

147
00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:18.399
transitional age youth eighteen to twenty four. They have programs of intervention, prevention,

148
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:24.000
and permanency. Permanency is more than
a safe, stable home. It's

149
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:28.960
connection, it's hope, it's healing. So their residential programs offer intervention,

150
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:35.840
ensuring youth are off the streets,
free from abuse and working towards being protected.

151
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:43.559
Also also working I'm sorry protect them
from against future victimization, incarceration,

152
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:50.960
and homelessness. Over two hundred and
fifty youth per per year benefit from their

153
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:56.799
education assistance, job development, and
mental health services. Two hundred plus youth

154
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:03.000
receive aftercare assistance and supportive services.
Thirty five percent of youth they serve are

155
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:07.679
a part of the LGTBQ community and
they save and they have eighty four percent

156
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:13.840
success rate of having the youth safely
reunited with their family, a foster family

157
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:20.440
or stable independent living home environment.
They also have a help hotline and they

158
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:26.720
do not turn a child away.
You could also get involved with this organization

159
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.799
by visiting their website and tabbing over
to where it says give and engage.

160
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:37.000
There are many many ways to help
and you know, Megan Riley, first

161
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:39.120
of all, I want to say
thank you for your story. You are

162
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:43.519
a warrior. Thank you for being
our hidden gem this week. And it

163
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.120
is not too many times that you
hear someone who is in the foster system

164
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.879
that has a positive story that ends
up with the family with love and caring.

165
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:56.120
Because it could go either way.
Go way, ye either way,

166
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.000
it could go positive or it could
go negative. And from more information you

167
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:05.240
could go to Youth Emerging Stronger dot
org if you like to get involved or

168
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:09.720
if you like to donate, and
you know her story, She said this

169
00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:13.120
kind of woke her up in a
sense as of, you know, what

170
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.360
she wanted to do in life.
It kind of molded her into becoming a

171
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:22.720
vet nurse and also trying to help
other children not to feel the way that

172
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:28.080
she felt. And you know,
with that being said, you know,

173
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.879
as a kid, I kind of
struggled a little bit, and I,

174
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:35.600
you know, I wanted to be
part of a foster home because I was

175
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.639
an abused child and I used to
that I was an abused child, and

176
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.399
I used to run away from my
home and sleep at the park. And

177
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:46.360
I did that from the ages of
five to six. I've known you,

178
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.639
I don't know how many years,
and I didn't know bad about you.

179
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.399
Well, you know, I don't
really tell too many people my story,

180
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.799
but it has been a blessing that
you know, sometimes when I learn about

181
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.559
people, especially these hidden gems,
I feel like I connect with a lot

182
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:07.279
of them in certain way minus homelessness. But that's what I guess draws me

183
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:09.399
to them, to get to know
them a little bit. And so,

184
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.240
you know, as a child when
I would sleep in these parks from the

185
00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:18.200
ages of five to six, I
used to wish and pray that somebody would

186
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:20.879
pick me up, and I wanted
to be a part of another family.

187
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:26.080
And I'm you know, my life
ended up turning not so bad. You

188
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.799
know. I got reunited with my
mother. But I hear her story and

189
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:35.440
I hear I hear how she kind
of suffered a little bit as far as

190
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.480
believing you think this is your that
you think this is your father, but

191
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:43.039
it's not your father. Same here. I thought my stepmother was my mother,

192
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.519
but she wasn't my biological mother,
you know what I mean. And

193
00:14:46.720 --> 00:14:50.759
how we go back to that is
that my father had kidnapped me from my

194
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:56.440
mother in nineteen seventy four, and
so long story short, it was,

195
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:58.000
it's not how now, Daisy,
I have Amber alerts and you know,

196
00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:03.240
you swipe a credit card and you
can find someone where they're at, and

197
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:05.399
yes, it's it, you know. So it took my mom a really

198
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:11.240
long time to find me. And
I'm kind of like Megan. She got

199
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:16.159
reunited with her family, and she
started to learn what love is and learning

200
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.879
to love herself and learning to know
what the value of family is How did

201
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:28.039
you find Megan? I found Megan
through a friend and she said that she

202
00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:31.639
works with the youth and I said, I was I'm kind of looking for

203
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.480
someone who was working for youth and
she was like, oh, I have

204
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:37.360
a person. And I was like
okay. And she didn't want to,

205
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.840
you know, zoom call because she's
very shy and she's like, I don't

206
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.240
really like to open up to people. And I said, okay, Well,

207
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.320
I'm going to try to make you
feel as comfortable as possible, you

208
00:15:48.360 --> 00:15:50.000
know, And I said, if
it takes me four days to finish the

209
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.559
story, I'll do it. I
just want to hear your story and I

210
00:15:54.600 --> 00:15:58.519
want to hear how you paired up
with this organization because my friend was telling

211
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:00.759
me more about the organization than Megan, and so I said, well,

212
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:04.159
let me talk to her. And
you know, we had a good conversation

213
00:16:04.360 --> 00:16:07.200
and you know, some tears and
some laughter, and you know, I

214
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.200
see comedy and even in the worst, you know what I mean, I

215
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.000
see road kill. I think it's
funny. But you know what I mean,

216
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.279
I feel like sometimes you connect with
someone, whether it's Kismet or whatnot,

217
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.879
but it's like God sends you an
angel from above to go, hey,

218
00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:26.720
maybe you need to talk to this
person and maybe you guys can compare

219
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:30.480
notes. Yeah, it sounds like
you not only learned something from each other,

220
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:36.080
but you also remembered something that you
maybe had forgotten long ago about the

221
00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:41.200
magic and importance of life. Correct. Correct, Well, that was something

222
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.159
that was pretty powerful. I enjoyed
what you Donica, make sure you come

223
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.559
back next week as well. All
Right, it's led with Mo Kelly KFI

224
00:16:48.639 --> 00:16:52.840
AM six forty Live Everywhere on the
Art Radio app. You're listening to Later

225
00:16:52.039 --> 00:17:02.120
with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI
AM six forty Later about Gully Live Everywhere

226
00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:06.480
on the iHeartRadio app. Now Mark
Runner with the Runner Report. Tonight we

227
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.839
talk about The Fall Guy. Maybe
your reaction was the same as mine when

228
00:17:08.880 --> 00:17:11.920
you saw there was gonna be a
Fall Guy movie with Ryan Gosling and Emily

229
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.880
Blunt, something along the lines of, oh, thank you. Another mediocre

230
00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.160
old TV series gets the big screen
treatment. When do we get the big

231
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:26.079
screen Simon and Simon or Hardcastle and
McCormick blockbusters. Yes, they're gonna do

232
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.160
those for real, aren't they.
I don't forget Heart to Heart I'm not

233
00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:33.240
looking you look, So maybe you
also thought Fall Guy movie Ryan Gosling will

234
00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.880
get richer along with everybody else involved. It'll be empty calories that could never

235
00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:41.920
be mistaken in any way for anything
memorable substantial, let alone art. Kind

236
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.960
of like a bag of funians you
scarf down on the way home from work

237
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.880
in the car and completely forget about
until your girlfriend tells you you dropped a

238
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.160
couple on the floor. Look,
I'm sorry. Do you think i'd intentionally

239
00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:56.720
waste funians? Hell? No,
get off my back, and that you

240
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:00.000
also got crumbs on the seat.
All right, I'm sorry, my bad.

241
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.039
I was trying to keep my eyes
on the road, and you didn't

242
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:04.359
want me to die to avoid funion
crumbs on your lousy car seat, did

243
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:07.359
you? Is that what you wanted
on your conscience? A funion related death?

244
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.279
What are we even doing here actually
eat funions? Anyway? The Fall

245
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.640
Guy movie. You don't have to
sell me on nostalgia. I'm into all

246
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:18.400
of that. Old shows are my
comfort viewing. I just bought the score

247
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:22.319
to twelve o'clock High from a joint
called La La Land Records, and I'm

248
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:27.279
still digging every minute of the FBI
Quinn Martin Warner Production, but for every

249
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:32.240
mission impossible, and those had to
get four or five deep to start getting

250
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.640
really good. By the way,
there's a wild Wild West or a Starsky

251
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:41.079
and Hutch movie offensively bad, lazy
insults to the original stuff Code Brown's no

252
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.319
debate. Now. I don't really
care if anyone insults The Fall Guy because

253
00:18:44.359 --> 00:18:45.839
I was never a big fan of
it. In fact, I don't remember

254
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.400
watching it. But weirdly, I've
become a fan of Heather Thomas in recent

255
00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:53.119
months and I follow her on Twitter. She's exceptionally cool and she's got some

256
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.960
nerve too. Also, Lee Major's
absolutely loved The six Million Dollar Man when

257
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.880
I was a kid, and I
know Mode did too. Absolutely. I

258
00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:06.000
was tickled to see him pop up
in Ash Versus Evil Dead as Ash's father

259
00:19:06.160 --> 00:19:11.079
fairly recently. Now, if you
remember, Majors sang the theme song of

260
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:25.400
The Fall Guy. Now let's just
settle into this. Okay, that's about

261
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:29.759
all that I can take. My
God, my god, that's bad.

262
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:32.200
And I may not be a Fall
Guy fan, but I am a bad

263
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:36.000
pop culture trash fan. And let
me tell you that's not all the singing

264
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:38.079
Lee Majors did Anyway, we were
talking about how the Fall Guy movies like

265
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:41.200
funians, right, but hang on
here the director is David Leech. He's

266
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:45.440
the guy who did Atomic Blonde,
Deadpool two, Bullet Train. That is

267
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.039
some respectable action comedy material right there. Well, here's the deal. Fall

268
00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:52.759
Guy's kind of fun, pretty dumb. It's too long, and it wears

269
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:56.039
out. It's welcome way before the
credits roll and they show you the behind

270
00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:00.000
the scenes footage. The script so
formulaic that if you experience even a singer

271
00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.839
moment of surprise, you may want
to look into one of those person man

272
00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:07.960
woman camera TV cognitive tests. But
if you like Gosling and he always gives

273
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:11.440
off a vibe of being game and
amiable and in on the joke, then

274
00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.480
you're not going to be furious on
the car ride home. Okay, get

275
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:19.039
some mo Vegan nuggets and it's a
couple it's a couple hours of not worrying

276
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:22.720
about Gaza. I can sum up
the vibe as being pretty similar to that

277
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.839
Dragnet comedy with Tom Hanks and Dan
Ackroyd way back in nineteen eighty seven,

278
00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:32.000
but with more stunts and maybe the
Ben Stiller Starsky and hutch, complete with

279
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:37.680
the obligatory but really unsatisfying cameos and
more stunts. This formulaic plot. It's

280
00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.880
mainly a delivery device for yes,
stunts and set pieces, but it's so

281
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:47.000
belabored that you can't help being constantly
aware of it instead of just experiencing the

282
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:51.759
ride and wishing they trimmed at least
twenty minutes from it. Gosling's stunt guy

283
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:55.960
character is in a thing with blunts
Emily blunts. He gets injured in a

284
00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:00.359
stunt and disappears for eighteen months,
along with their relationship. He's later hired

285
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.920
on her first movies where she's a
director, and there's a lot of talking

286
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:07.240
about that, what happened, if
they'll ever get back together again. Not

287
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:11.440
a single surprise anywhere ever. Meanwhile, the jerk lead actor goes missing and

288
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:15.519
mister fall guy goes to find him
to keep the plug from getting pulled on

289
00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:19.519
the movie and save the day via
stunts. There's your setup. Oh,

290
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:23.680
and bad guys literally want to set
up Gosling, making him say it with

291
00:21:23.799 --> 00:21:27.759
me. There a fall guy,
thank you very much. Now. The

292
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:33.200
bad guys are played so broadly that
I kept finding myself thinking of better stunt

293
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.000
guy movies like like Hooper with Burt
Reynolds. Oh, that was a good

294
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:38.160
one, it really was. Or
Richard Rushes the stunt Man, remember that

295
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.680
one I do Peter O'Toole Steve Rail's
back was the Stuntman. In fact,

296
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:47.240
I'll tell you this, during the
two hours and seven minutes, I had

297
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:52.720
completely composed in my head a listical
that even I have too much self respect

298
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:56.279
to pitch of the best movies about
stuntman to see before you watch The fall

299
00:21:56.319 --> 00:22:00.559
Guy and before you ask yes,
stunt Rock from nineteen seven and eight is

300
00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:03.559
on it. And that's your runner
report. I feel like I pulled something,

301
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.079
mo. I have a question,
two questions. Actually, I've always

302
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.319
been ambivalent ambivalent about Ryan Goswig.
I wasn't sure whether he was a leading

303
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.119
man. He works well in kind
of an ensemble cast. I don't know

304
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.359
if he can hold the screen by
himself. Well, he was terrific in

305
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:22.079
Blade Runner twenty forty nine, and
he was really good in a movie that,

306
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:26.440
for some reason people have forgotten called
The Nice Guys with Russell Crowe.

307
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.559
Yeah, anybody who hasn't seen that, it's a great time. It's a

308
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.240
much better time. Than the fall
Guy. But like I said, it's

309
00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:38.759
inoffensive. It's no good by any
means, but you know you're not going

310
00:22:38.839 --> 00:22:44.200
to be furious on the ride home, and like taking the dog to a

311
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:47.920
gravel pit whether I guess that's a
whole nother subject. Were there any Easter

312
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.599
eggs? HARKing back to the TV
show, Well, you just find out

313
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.440
there's the obligatory cameos, but don't
expect much at all out of that.

314
00:22:57.359 --> 00:23:02.200
I will say at the Thomas,
it's still looking pretty good. All right,

315
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:04.519
all right, that's always a reason
to go see it. If we

316
00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.519
have extra time we do. I've
got an honorable mention, so I can

317
00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.359
leave you with something actually good.
It's a movie called Late Night with the

318
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:12.880
Devil. Now, this is not
a blockbuster, but it's worth your time.

319
00:23:14.440 --> 00:23:17.519
It had a spotty theatrical release.
It might still be in some but

320
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:19.440
it's streaming now on Shutter and I
think you can just run it to stream.

321
00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.680
And it is one hundred percent my
wheelhouse. It's about a seventies late

322
00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:29.160
night TV show host and he has
a possessed girl on a show, along

323
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:33.079
with a sort of amazing Randy Debunker
type and some other oddball guests and all

324
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.799
hell breaks loose literally on the show. This is lots of fun. It

325
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:41.519
is just note perfect and its presentation, even if I thought the end result

326
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.440
was more of a solid B plus
as opposed to an Exorcist A plus.

327
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.960
The star is David dast Melchin,
who has been in one of those suicide

328
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.720
movies, The Last Voyage of the
Demeter. You're gonna recognize him. He's

329
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:55.880
been in tons of stuff recently.
I felt kind of rotten for not seeing

330
00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:57.720
Late Night with the Devil in a
theater, but I subscribed to Shutter just

331
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:02.880
to support worth while stuff like this. Not really a ton of stunts,

332
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:08.359
though Late Night with the Devil is
worth the watch. There's something positive to

333
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:11.799
take out of this whole ordeal,
all right, And there is your runner

334
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:15.839
report. And also got to remind
you one last time. The Beach Live

Later with Moe Kelly k if I

app you're listening to and Later with
Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six

343
00:24:55.599 --> 00:25:00.000
forty. Last segment. Mark Ronner
in his RUNA report was reviewing the movie

344
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:06.440
The Fall Guy, and in that
you got the whole nostalgic feels of the

345
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:11.240
original TV show. And I would
say it's Cousin the six Million Dollar Man

346
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.839
and all the great memories. If
you're old enough to remember those TV shows,

347
00:25:15.880 --> 00:25:22.279
There's something very powerful about nostalgia and
these characters that we fall in love

348
00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.440
with over the years. Never is
that more evident than when I watch a

349
00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:34.920
show like Cobra Kai. It has
all of the best feel good moments of

350
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:41.720
the original movies. You have the
original actors and actresses. Every single one,

351
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.039
with the exception of maybe one or
two, have made their presence known

352
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:51.319
in the Cobra Kai series from the
Karate Kid universe. Every single one.

353
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:55.599
We get to find out what has
happened to all of our favorite characters,

354
00:25:55.599 --> 00:26:00.880
from Daniel and Johnny and Ali with
an eye, all of them, the

355
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:08.079
bad boy Mike Barnes since a Kreese
Terry Silver chosen every single one. They've

356
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:12.559
made an appearance, maybe multiple appearances, and that's why the show is so

357
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:19.240
well done. Not only do the
homage to the original trilogy and those characters,

358
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:27.119
they've done a very deliberate, well
researched presentation of these new characters,

359
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:32.160
the new generation, which is going
to take the series into the future.

360
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.359
They have the new Karate Kid movie
coming out in about a year or so.

361
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:41.960
The one thing that's really really good
about Cobra Kai is that it is

362
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:48.680
a series that has grown with us. Any of us who watched and fell

363
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.559
in love with the Karate Kid in
our youth, this is a series that

364
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:59.359
grew up with us so it matured. It's not a retread of the old

365
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:03.759
story. It's not the same the
old character still going through the same stuff.

366
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:08.440
They are adults now dealing with their
history and how it have turned out

367
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:12.880
now. And there are things that
Cobra Kai has done which have flipped the

368
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:18.039
original Karate Kids' story on its head
and that's what makes it fresher. It

369
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:25.000
actually shows you how everything you may
have thought was happening wasn't everything. It's

370
00:27:25.119 --> 00:27:29.000
just actual life. There are no
actual good guys and bad guys. These

371
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:33.720
are people who were all dealing with
something. I love that about the series.

372
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.759
The season six, the final season, is just upon us. They

373
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:42.640
released a new trailer for season six
not too long ago. But what's interesting

374
00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:48.400
is this final season is going to
be broken up into three parts, three

375
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.720
many seasons, if you will,
of six episodes each, which are going

376
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.440
to take place over the course of
maybe a year and a half our real

377
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.039
world time. In other words,
we'll get the first six episodes and maybe

378
00:28:00.039 --> 00:28:03.400
two months, and then we'll have
to wait three months for the next six

379
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:07.799
episodes and so forth, and will
lead us up to the doorstep of the

380
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:15.759
new Karate Kid movie. Love the
smell of karate in the afternoon, No

381
00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:29.720
mercy, get your asses ready,
We're not giving up without a fight.

382
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:45.359
Cobra Kai is back. What I
love about Cobra Kai as well is they

383
00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:49.759
allow these kids who have grown up
to become adults, act like real adults,

384
00:28:49.799 --> 00:28:53.480
They talk like adults. They are
like many of us where we're stuck

385
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:59.000
in our our high school years.
As far as mentality, we're stuck in

386
00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:03.440
the nineties in terms of the decade, and the humor is adult. Ye

387
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:10.759
any times, it's not that same
innocent universe that we once knew way back

388
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:15.599
when. This is quite possibly one
of the most brilliant franchises on Netflix.

389
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:21.279
There's no wonder why it is so
popular and has spawned a new generation of

390
00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:26.279
fandom because it does touch on real
life issue things that you and I as

391
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:29.799
adults, mo that we can relate
and we say like, yeah, man,

392
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.640
I remember what it was like in
high school. It's almost like seeing

393
00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:37.079
what life would be like if you
were able to go back and try to

394
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:38.960
fix some of those things. I
love how it pulls us in like that.

395
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:44.519
Well, they're basically our contemporaries when
they were in high school. We

396
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:48.119
were in high school. When they
grew up and started their adult lives,

397
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:52.640
so did we. They're gone through
some of the same life challenges that we've

398
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:56.559
gone through, and also dealing with
those demons of the past, the people

399
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.000
that you run into later on in
life who may have peaked in high school.

400
00:30:00.440 --> 00:30:03.359
Yeah, and they're still thinking as
if it is still high school.

401
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.039
And they think that because they bullied
you in high school that they can bully

402
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.000
you in your late forties and fifties. And it's like, na, son,

403
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:12.880
I'm not that same person, and
neither are you. Yeah, yeah,

404
00:30:12.960 --> 00:30:18.559
that part is fantastic. And I
know I've had some people reach out

405
00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:21.119
to me, send me dms what
we've talked about in the past, and

406
00:30:21.119 --> 00:30:23.680
they're like, the martial arts is
corny, it's not real. It's not

407
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:30.200
about that, and it's like,
let's not re re envision the original Karate

408
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:33.680
Kid as if it was just some
you know, Jackie Chan or Jet Lee

409
00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.240
martial arts, you know, spectacular. It wasn't. They were trying to

410
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:45.240
give you a look at what realistic
karate tournaments are, like the tournament,

411
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:48.480
the tournament, the tournament, not
the actual participants. Because let's remember Daniel

412
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:52.680
LaRusso started in New School, so
we can assume it's September and the All

413
00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:59.079
Valley Karate Championship was December nineteenth,
and he was a block belt and won

414
00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:03.400
the tournament as well. Look,
he was in black belted yagi dough,

415
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:10.960
so that's that's different, but he
won even heat. The bad boy Mike

416
00:31:11.079 --> 00:31:18.119
Barnes, I think but anyhow,
cry excuse me. Cobra Kai is coming

417
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.200
with the sixth season sometime in July. If I'm not mistaken, I will

418
00:31:22.200 --> 00:31:25.640
not miss it. Can't wait for
it. And it also real quickly before

419
00:31:25.640 --> 00:31:27.559
we go to break. It reminds
people, or should remind people, the

420
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:33.599
power of Netflix. The first two
two seasons of Cobra Kai were on YouTube

421
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:40.200
Red. Netflix picked it up and
all of a sudden it spawned a whole

422
00:31:40.319 --> 00:31:44.319
universe, a movie, and so
forth. It just revitalized everything. It

423
00:31:44.319 --> 00:31:47.039
could have just died on the vine. And if you think about if you

424
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:52.400
know this show suits it originally aired
on the USA Network, diehard fans like

425
00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:56.839
me, we loved it. It
went away, and then it saw showed

426
00:31:56.920 --> 00:32:00.799
up on Netflix. It blew up. It became a phenomenon all over again.

427
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:05.079
Now they're going to have another show
since La, just because of the

428
00:32:05.119 --> 00:32:09.640
success on Netflix. So I think
you're going to see more TV shows come

429
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:15.119
back to life because of Netflix.
