Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: It's Later with mo Kelly. Let's find out what's up
Speaker 2: with Nick Pouliochini who joins me now in the studio
Speaker 2: with his Disney paraphernalia right Disney seventieth Anniversary shirt on
Speaker 2: and everything I do, which is funny.
Speaker 3: So talk about poignant because I was there before I
Speaker 3: came here today Disney, like I was at Disneyland before
Speaker 3: I came here. So I came all the way straight
Speaker 3: on through from Anaheim, two hours from Anaheim.
Speaker 2: To get up here to Burbank to be here for
Speaker 2: Later with Mo Kelly. So and then you didn't stay
Speaker 2: here long. You left here and went where.
Speaker 3: And then I went over the Empire Center down the
Speaker 3: street because somebody had a hanker in and a story
Speaker 3: about donuts. So I went over to Krispy Kreme, shout
Speaker 3: out to the crew that's over in the Burbank store,
Speaker 3: and picked up both a dozen original glazed and also
Speaker 3: that special collab box with Hulu.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so not only did we get to discuss it,
Speaker 2: we actually got to taste it. And before your time
Speaker 2: with us is finished, we'll get some reviews from those
Speaker 2: the studio about the Hulu box, Yes.
Speaker 3: Everybody, I think everyone. No, you haven't tried any and
Speaker 3: I haven't tried it any yet, but we've got at
Speaker 3: least two that have been tried in the Hulu box.
Speaker 3: So but yeah, to go back to what we were
Speaker 3: talking about last hour with the seventieth anniversary, and so
Speaker 3: it's funny that you specifically talked about magic Key, because
Speaker 3: that is something that I'm a part of. In magic
Speaker 3: Key is the annual passholder program for the Disneyland Resort.
Speaker 3: I funnily enough, funnily enough if that's the word just
Speaker 3: made because you have ninety days out that you can
Speaker 3: make the reservations is how the system works. So I
Speaker 3: literally was doing the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, and they're all
Speaker 3: available right now. And I was there for a friend's
Speaker 3: birthday at the resort today and was sitting down to
Speaker 3: lunch and we booked their reservations. And then, as you
Speaker 3: have said, there are no more reservations available.
Speaker 2: Were you afforded an opportunity because you were there in
Speaker 2: person as opposed to trying to do them purely?
Speaker 3: We just caught the tail end before they were gone.
Speaker 3: I had already booked them with the friends that were
Speaker 3: with us who live over in Pasadena. They we're booking
Speaker 3: as we were doing it, but like it literally, you know,
Speaker 3: ninety days out, we're already set up and ready for
Speaker 3: the seventieth. And I think because the funniest part is
Speaker 3: July seventeenth is the actual birthday of Disneyland, July seventeenth,
Speaker 3: nineteen fifty five. But of course Disney likes to give
Speaker 3: you as much celebration time as possible, so they'll start
Speaker 3: it early on Friday, the sixteenth of May. So the
Speaker 3: biggest thing for you to know now and get ready
Speaker 3: for if you are not already prepared for it. Nick
Speaker 3: pollio'channe this weekend with Nick on Instagram, you can actually
Speaker 3: see I coincidentally have a link there that has all
Speaker 3: the details about the seventieth anniversary that I just put
Speaker 3: out on my story today. But you can also follow
Speaker 3: along and be able to see all the fun and
Speaker 3: excitement as it happens. So I've got that also. We're
Speaker 3: getting ready right now. We're doing Celebrate soul Fully at
Speaker 3: Disneyland mostly actually is in both parks, and that's in
Speaker 3: celebration of a lot of Black History Month, and then
Speaker 3: we have coming up next Friday. You'll be able to
Speaker 3: check out the food and Wine festival because I'll have
Speaker 3: all the details about that. In fact, I'll be meeting
Speaker 3: with some of the wine makers and some of the
Speaker 3: celebrity chefs that'll be there. And then yeah, and then
Speaker 3: we'll move into the seventieth Birthday celebration. So but it's funny.
Speaker 3: I am decked out in all my goodies, so you'll
Speaker 3: be able to see that on social media as well.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was wild and I barely made it
Speaker 3: back from Mammoth.
Speaker 2: From snowboard. I saw that people were like snowed in.
Speaker 3: It was there were two avalanches the snow Patrol. Unfortunately
Speaker 3: they're fine now, but there are three of them transported
Speaker 3: to the hospital there. I got up there on Thursday
Speaker 3: and Friday and we were shut down. There were eighteen
Speaker 3: miles of the three ninety five that were shut down
Speaker 3: between Bishop and Mammoth, so we couldn't even get into town.
Speaker 2: And then once we got.
Speaker 3: There, I yours truly decided to make sure that his
Speaker 3: EV was charged up and got that stuck in the snow.
Speaker 3: So that was a whole experience. I found out that
Speaker 3: Triple A does service you. If you get stuck, they'll
Speaker 3: bring a winch out and get your car out.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it was wild.
Speaker 3: I've never like, I have seen incredible snow in Mammoth
Speaker 3: and up in Big Bear. I've never seen anything like
Speaker 3: this before. It was absolute insane and we were staying.
Speaker 3: If you're familiar with Mammoth, there are several lodges, Eagle Lodge,
Speaker 3: Canyon Lodge, Main Lodge. We were near Canyon, which is
Speaker 3: one of the most popular ones. We were able to
Speaker 3: watch all these things happening. We could see the avalanche
Speaker 3: when it had came down, like we could see everything
Speaker 3: from where we were.
Speaker 2: It was wild.
Speaker 3: Were you ever in fear for your own safety? No,
Speaker 3: we were good because we were far enough away. But it
Speaker 3: was like we were on the other side of the lodge,
Speaker 3: so we could see it coming down the mountain. So
Speaker 3: if it did come down all the way and had
Speaker 3: it affected the lodge, then it would have been able
Speaker 3: to get to us. But it didn't quite make it
Speaker 3: all the way down there, so it was a lot.
Speaker 3: It was a fun experience, but it's good to be
Speaker 3: here with you, and it's good to be here with later.
Speaker 2: With mo Kelly. Let me ask you this, somebody who
Speaker 2: going back to Disney for a moment, someone who goes
Speaker 2: to Disneyland so often for so many years. Sure, can
Speaker 2: it meet your expectations for a seventieth anniversary celebration.
Speaker 3: I having been a part of the Walt Disney Company,
Speaker 3: and I worked there from ninety eight through two thousand
Speaker 3: and three, and I opened New tomorrow Land, and I
Speaker 3: the eight and also Plaza in and I was a
Speaker 3: part of the expanded resort project of opening Disney Grand
Speaker 3: California Hotel and Disney California Adventure all of that. So yes,
Speaker 3: can it be done absolutely? And can it be done well? Yes,
Speaker 3: because Disney is exceptionally good at doing that. The question
Speaker 3: will be when the Walt Disney Company becomes involved, it
Speaker 3: becomes a company wide celebration as opposed to just to
Speaker 3: our resort or to the wal the Walt Disney World
Speaker 3: Resort in Florida, or Disneyland Paris or any of those things.
Speaker 3: So it'll be really interesting to see, as we have
Speaker 3: observed Disney Plus and all the other different properties within
Speaker 3: the Walt Disney Company, how this will be played out.
Speaker 3: So what will be returning for the seventieth anniversary Wondrous Journeys,
Speaker 3: which is a very popular firework show, which is interesting
Speaker 3: to me because predominantly you get a new fireworks show
Speaker 3: when a celebration year comes around. In fact, if we
Speaker 3: go over to Tokyo Disneyland, which is operated by Oriental
Speaker 3: Land and Sea, which is the partnership with the Walt
Speaker 3: Disney Company, they have a agreement that every five years,
Speaker 3: for every celebration year, they have a brand new parade
Speaker 3: and a brand new fireworks extravaganza, something that we used
Speaker 3: to have here but we have not seen in a
Speaker 3: very very long time. We always get these incredible things
Speaker 3: that come back. That's why the electrical parade continues to
Speaker 3: come back. Now, Paint the Night will be returning for
Speaker 3: the seventieth anniversary. Very excited about that. One of the
Speaker 3: most amazing nighttime parades all that back, but we're not
Speaker 3: seeing anything brand new now. There will be a new
Speaker 3: World of Color inside of Disney California Adventure, so that's exciting.
Speaker 3: But that's just one of the two gates, one of
Speaker 3: the two parks at the resort, and that's also the
Speaker 3: new park, the new gate that's not Disneyland, so Disneyland
Speaker 3: is getting some really incredible returning properties, but there's nothing
Speaker 3: specifically brand new for the seventieth, so it'd be really
Speaker 3: interesting to see because Disney does like to keep things
Speaker 3: close to their vest, so there is a very good
Speaker 3: likelihood that there's something on the horizon that we have
Speaker 3: not seen. But people like me who are good on
Speaker 3: the inside track usually find things out and we may
Speaker 3: not be able to share those things. I've yet to
Speaker 3: hear anything that much I can say, so I don't
Speaker 3: know what the seventieth will hold other than having all
Speaker 3: these fantastic things that we've experienced and have been gone
Speaker 3: for a few years will be coming back. So for me,
Speaker 3: it seems that the theme for the seventieth is going
Speaker 3: to be nostalgia. I think that's where it's kind of
Speaker 3: leaning into that idea. Now, there will be a few
Speaker 3: things coming. The most exciting, but we don't have official
Speaker 3: word on it is the brand new Walt Disney Audio
Speaker 3: Animatronic that will be joining and having a very special
Speaker 3: show along with great moments with mister Lincoln on mainstream,
Speaker 3: but that will not be opening on the opening weekend. Nosnel, no, no, Well,
Speaker 3: it's very odd and this is the thing. So if
Speaker 3: you go through the history and you listen to Diane Disney,
Speaker 3: who is his daughter, and a couple things. One of
Speaker 3: the things that was always very specific is that they
Speaker 3: never wanted to create out audio animatronic of Walt, and
Speaker 3: now it's happening.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: So I don't know what that is going to look like.
Speaker 3: So I think that obviously means the Disney family has
Speaker 3: signed off on it, of course, because they're not going
Speaker 3: to let you know, Dad being effected in that way
Speaker 3: in any way, shape or form. And it's incredible to
Speaker 3: think that Walt will hypothetically be walking among us amongst
Speaker 3: us once again. But it'll be really interesting to see
Speaker 3: what happens, because if you've been to great moments with
Speaker 3: mister Lincoln, it's pretty darn impressive that you think you
Speaker 3: are looking at Abraham Lincoln. And obviously that is not
Speaker 3: the case, because that is the tip top audio animatronic
Speaker 3: that's available right now. What is interesting to me is
Speaker 3: that with Epic Universe coming to Florida, which will be
Speaker 3: opening Memorial Day weekend, right the weekend following the opening
Speaker 3: of the seventieth anniversary, Epic Universe will have some of
Speaker 3: the absolute state of the art audio animatronics, including in
Speaker 3: Dark Universe, which will be Frankenstein and Brider, Frankenstein and
Speaker 3: Wolfman and all of the different universal monsters will be
Speaker 3: represented in these incredible audiometronics that we've never seen the
Speaker 3: likes of.
Speaker 2: So can I compare? Will it compete? We'll find out
Speaker 2: when we come back. We'll also find out about this
Speaker 2: Krispy Kreme and Hulu dual promotion. We talked about it
Speaker 2: earlier in the evening, how they've teamed up for this
Speaker 2: special variety pack of assorted flavors and comminations. We'll learn
Speaker 2: firsthand whether it's Walla Sharp and I think Andrew Caravelli
Speaker 2: tates one and I'm not sure Stefan that you takes
Speaker 2: one of the Hulu Krispy Kreme pack. Okay, So we
Speaker 2: get some first hand choices about what is good and
Speaker 2: what is very good and just moment.
Speaker 1: You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty. That's call.
Speaker 2: That's KAFI Lady with Mo Kelly and Nick Poliochny. We
Speaker 2: are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and earlier in
Speaker 2: the show we told you about Krispy Kreme and Hulu
Speaker 2: how they were teaming up on a new donut collection
Speaker 2: inspired by movie theater snacks, and in discussing it, we
Speaker 2: were just overcome with this desire to have some Crispy
Speaker 2: Kreme donuts. Nick Polio Ketny was listening in at that moment.
Speaker 2: He wasn't even officially on the show, and he was
Speaker 2: nice enough to leave the studio, get in his car,
Speaker 2: go to the other side of Burbank and pick up
Speaker 2: a box of glazed donuts just for me, because I
Speaker 2: will eat every damn one of them. There are only
Speaker 2: maybe four.
Speaker 1: Laugh.
Speaker 3: I have to talk about how I okay, stop, I
Speaker 3: didn't say you. I just said the box only has
Speaker 3: four laughs. They could do math though. That's There's a
Speaker 3: few other people here and we also got a box
Speaker 3: of the Hulu inspired snack donuts as well.
Speaker 2: Toilet Sharp, you tried the caramel popcorn donut.
Speaker 4: Yes, what was your review the donut? The makeup of
Speaker 4: it was delicious and the filling good. The caramel added
Speaker 4: was quite possibly one of the worst ideas Hulu or
Speaker 4: Christian Kream has ever come up. Let me say this
Speaker 4: real quick.
Speaker 2: It's an unglazed shell donut filled with caramel popcorn flavored
Speaker 2: cream filling, dipped in white icing and caramel popcorn, and
Speaker 2: topped with red icing drizzles. Continue.
Speaker 4: The caramel popcorn is again the most atrocious addition that
Speaker 4: they could ever put. This popcorn tasted like day old,
Speaker 4: stale caramel popcorn. Was not a good addition at all.
Speaker 4: But the donut itself, it is beautifully made. It almost
Speaker 4: looks like a popcorn bucket. So the white and red
Speaker 4: drizzle on top, it makes it look like a popcorn bucket.
Speaker 4: And the popcorn is like kind of at the top
Speaker 4: if you were to look at it face up. But no,
Speaker 4: I would never eat that donut again.
Speaker 2: Andrew Caravella, you tried the blue Raspberry slush donut, which
Speaker 2: is an original glaze donut dipped in blue raspberry flavored
Speaker 2: icing and blue sanding sugar.
Speaker 5: Yeah, my tongue is still blue right now, so kind
Speaker 5: of like if you had an icy Yeah, I mean
Speaker 5: it literally tasted like I ate what a unicorn would
Speaker 5: throw up.
Speaker 2: I just that doesn't sound positive.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, you know unicorns are like rainbows and sparkles, right,
Speaker 5: So it was like a glittery kind of flavor. It
Speaker 5: wasn't too sweet, and that glittery blue raspberry almost kind
Speaker 5: of it's almost like dry jelly. That that's what it
Speaker 5: tasted like, like like the filling that you if you
Speaker 5: really have a filling and a donut like but it
Speaker 5: was tried on top. That's kind of what it tasted like.
Speaker 5: But with a blue raspberry type of vibe. It wasn't
Speaker 5: too bad. Like if you want to be adventurous, I say,
Speaker 5: try it once, but I wouldn't go back and get
Speaker 5: it again.
Speaker 2: Adventures doesn't sound like an endorsement. Yeah, I'm not. Finally
Speaker 2: a reason to go and get a slice of that.
Speaker 2: And Stephan, you had the cookie Dough Superstar donut, which
Speaker 2: was an unglazed shell donut filled with chocolate butter cream
Speaker 2: flavored filling, dipped in chocolate flavored icing, and topped with
Speaker 2: gold glitter sprinkles and cookie dough bites. Damn, that sounds
Speaker 2: like a lot. It is a lot, and so personally
Speaker 2: I liked it because so you bite into it, there's
Speaker 2: like little almost like the cookie Crisp Cereal, but even smaller,
Speaker 2: like they're like dot sizes and you bite into it
Speaker 2: and obviously there's a cream, but it's a chocolate and
Speaker 2: the first thought I was like, oh, that might be
Speaker 2: a little bit too much sugar, But then I gotta
Speaker 2: bite if something else they put like I'm guessing it's
Speaker 2: not actually raw, but what tasted like raw cookie dough
Speaker 2: bites in of the donut itself.
Speaker 3: It probably was wrong and that set it off. Oh
Speaker 3: it was raw cookie though, I can see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: then it was it was that was magical? Whoever thought
Speaker 3: of that? That was great?
Speaker 2: Magical? Okay, so we have one endorsement, right, yeah, I
Speaker 2: would say so I will Yeah, two nay's. And then
Speaker 2: what was the the that's what was the candy double
Speaker 2: featured donut, which is also stuff Yeah, and original glaze
Speaker 2: donut dipped in white icing, topped with milk chocolate candy
Speaker 2: pieces and many milk chocolate chips, and drizzled with chocolate
Speaker 2: flavored icy My goodness. See I'm biased because there's another
Speaker 2: donut place that I used to go to that started
Speaker 2: to put like Eminem's on the donut. You put M
Speaker 2: and ms on anything like that, you got a winner.
Speaker 2: And it's actually it's actually it was funny because aside
Speaker 2: from that, it's actually pretty standard of a donut, like,
Speaker 2: there's nothing too crazy except the M and ms. So
Speaker 2: I think if you want something a little bit out
Speaker 2: there but not too much like some of these other ones,
Speaker 2: I think that's the one to start with because it's
Speaker 2: got the simple flavor and then you get the crunch
Speaker 2: from the M and m's. So we have two donuts
Speaker 2: thumbs up, two donuts thumbs down, or at least once,
Speaker 2: but never again.
Speaker 5: I want to know which ones were the rejected ones.
Speaker 5: I didn't make it through marketing. That's what I want
Speaker 5: to know.
Speaker 2: In other words, if you said yes to this, what
Speaker 2: did you say no to? That's good, That's what I
Speaker 2: want to know. No, no, no, we need to go
Speaker 2: with the cookie dough superstar donut as opposed to the
Speaker 2: blastest one because I just telefilled.
Speaker 3: Though I was gonna say so it's gonna be like
Speaker 3: Swedish fish or I'm trying.
Speaker 2: To think of all the different things you would get it.
Speaker 2: That's not a bad idea to all it if they
Speaker 2: would have done the popcorn with the telefilling instead of no.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I know I had to go and drink
Speaker 4: some of that uh cafeteria milk we have over there.
Speaker 4: So now my stomach is probably could be just early.
Speaker 4: You got the bubble guts, so I had nothing to
Speaker 4: do with that part of the show. I just provided
Speaker 4: this and that's it. Well, we thank you for street.
Speaker 4: Did you try anything yet?
Speaker 3: I haven't tried anything. I had way too much fun
Speaker 3: in watching all of you guys do it. I tried
Speaker 3: the original glaze, all of them. They're delicious. All the
Speaker 3: studio smells amazing. Right now, you won't say that much.
Speaker 3: They usually have the law of diminishing returns. Like think
Speaker 3: of hot dogs. If eat one hot dog is great,
Speaker 3: two pretty good, three not so much. Fourth, Oh, you've
Speaker 3: gone too far. It works in the other direction with
Speaker 3: the donuts. The first one was good, the second one
Speaker 3: was even better, The third one was heaven. The fourth
Speaker 3: one was better than sex. Wow, and you heard it here. First, Mike,
Speaker 3: go for a fifth?
Speaker 5: Somebody get him?
Speaker 2: So I get it. They always say twice on Tuesday,
Speaker 2: how about five times?
Speaker 4: Wow?
Speaker 2: Thank you very much? Nice, there we go. Finally, I
Speaker 2: love it. So what were we going to talk about?
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a quick rundown
Speaker 3: in the last couple of minutes there before my time
Speaker 3: for the show. There's three different art exhibits that are
Speaker 3: going down and I've talked about these before with this
Speaker 3: Weekend with Nick, but it's really worthwhile if you are
Speaker 3: interested in unique art that is being resold here in Hollywood,
Speaker 3: so maybe it's from old movie sets or anything to
Speaker 3: that effect. Also new art from artists who are either
Speaker 3: well established or brand new or never discovered before. So
Speaker 3: the three different art shows that actually start tomorrow and
Speaker 3: run all the way through Sunday are going to be
Speaker 3: the Felix Art Fair, which is at the Whole Hollywood Roosevelt,
Speaker 3: and that's a great place to visit just for fun,
Speaker 3: and it is free ninety nine to get in, so
Speaker 3: it's worth doing that. Obviously, the art pieces themselves are
Speaker 3: not but visiting it. Is also at the LA Convention
Speaker 3: Center South Hall, starting tomorrow all the way through Sunday
Speaker 3: will be the LA Art Show, which is celebrating its
Speaker 3: thirtieth year, and that also will have some live demonstrations
Speaker 3: of artists that will be painting and sculpting and everything else,
Speaker 3: so that's well worth your time.
Speaker 2: And then the other art show.
Speaker 3: Or the other art fair is happening also starting tomorrow
Speaker 3: through the weekend, and it is over ten thousand artists
Speaker 3: that make unique claims to different things. Anyway, this happens
Speaker 3: in Atwater Village to much smaller kind of alternative things.
Speaker 3: So if you are looking to get ahead of your
Speaker 3: spring cleaning and you want to get something new for
Speaker 3: your home, this is fantastic, especially because all three of
Speaker 3: those events are supporting the efforts for the fires. So
Speaker 3: a certain amount of proceeds from every one of those events,
Speaker 3: for all the purchases of the art, and some of
Speaker 3: the artists themselves are donating additional funds. All that is
Speaker 3: going to continue to support those who lost their homes
Speaker 3: and the Palisades fire and the Eaten fire over in Altadena.
Speaker 3: So it's a really great opportunity for you to get
Speaker 3: out and experience something again free ninety nine to get
Speaker 3: into those If you're looking for something that's a little
Speaker 3: bit different, that is also available, but you're looking for
Speaker 3: something that's definitely unique and special. There is a new
Speaker 3: art exhibition from a Mister Brilliant that starts tomorrow and
Speaker 3: runs all the way through March. That's going to be
Speaker 3: more down the anime side of things. And then the
Speaker 3: one last thing if you're looking for something to go
Speaker 3: in and do before the weekend comes, The California African
Speaker 3: American Museum, the cinema there has It Was A All
Speaker 3: a Dream, and it's a brand exclusive screening with Free
Speaker 3: ninety nine To visit. You just had to RSVP to
Speaker 3: the event. This is happening on Thursday seven to nine pm.
Speaker 3: You can always you know, listen to Later with Mo
Speaker 3: Kelly and then queue up for this. But if you
Speaker 3: have not seen It Was All a Dream, it's a
Speaker 3: very very interesting, very different It's called a visual memoir
Speaker 3: reflecting on the dawn and golden era of hip hop.
Speaker 3: But if you don't have a knowledge of that and
Speaker 3: you go into it, it is so incredibly well done.
Speaker 3: I have seen it before. I have not seen it
Speaker 3: in this presentation, but I have seen it before. But
Speaker 3: it's got notorious Big Wu Tang's, Methan Man's in it,
Speaker 3: Snoop Dogs in it, a whole bunch of other different
Speaker 3: performers and a lot of them will actually be there
Speaker 3: for the screening on Thursday. So and these are great
Speaker 3: things for you to check out this week or heading
Speaker 3: into the weekend.
Speaker 2: Very nice, Thank you, Nick. You want to hang around
Speaker 2: for a little longer.
Speaker 3: I would love to, but if you want to find
Speaker 3: out what I'm doing, as always, you can follow me
