<v Speaker 1>KFI AM six forty.

3
00:00:06.040 --> 00:00:08.199
<v Speaker 2>It's Later with Mo Kelly. We're live everywhere in the

4
00:00:08.199 --> 00:00:11.439
<v Speaker 2>iHeartRadio app. Joining me in studio as customery on Tuesday

5
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:14.839
<v Speaker 2>nights in nine pm is none other than the inimitable

6
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Nick Polliochini.

7
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:22.039
<v Speaker 3>Your vocabulary is so incredible Mo truly just in general.

8
00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.719
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, I always feel so well educated tuning into Later.

9
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 4>With Mo Kelly. It's all in act. So it's fine.

10
00:00:28.359 --> 00:00:31.679
<v Speaker 3>Thiseers is quite attractive, I do have to say that much.

11
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>So how are you Boss? Always good to see what

12
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.359
<v Speaker 2>are you wearing tonight? For those who amped.

13
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:38.719
<v Speaker 3>Out in my Universal fan Fest Nights which actually starts

14
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 3>this week, so that's going to be the big focus

15
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:43.119
<v Speaker 3>of all the details. In fact, I literally came right

16
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 3>over the hill before the show, got to try some

17
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.320
<v Speaker 3>of the food, got to experience a little bit of that,

18
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 3>and then I will be back there Friday night for

19
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:52.240
<v Speaker 3>opening night, and then I'll be back there on the

20
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 3>ninth of May, so I'll be doing quite a bit

21
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 3>with Universal Studios. The thing that's really cool about this,

22
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.679
<v Speaker 3>if you have ever done Halloween Horror Nights, that is

23
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:05.319
<v Speaker 3>something that is incredibly synonymous with Universal Studios, and what

24
00:01:05.480 --> 00:01:09.000
<v Speaker 3>is happening now is specific to that you will be

25
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 3>able to as you can see if you're visiting us

26
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.000
<v Speaker 3>on YouTube right now, you can get a little tease

27
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:17.239
<v Speaker 3>of the fan fest activities that'll be happening. But in

28
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 3>the Halloween season you get all of the Halloween things.

29
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 3>And so what they're doing is taking the same footprint

30
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 3>of a lot of these walk through houses and attractions

31
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.519
<v Speaker 3>and giving them a whole new flavor. So Star Trek,

32
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:31.280
<v Speaker 3>if you're a fan of Star Trek, they'll be there.

33
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 3>Of course, the two existing things that are in park

34
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.439
<v Speaker 3>all the time for you at Universal Studios Hollywood are

35
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 3>going to be Super Nintendo World with Super Mario and Friends,

36
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 3>and then you'll also be able to experience the Wizarding

37
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.920
<v Speaker 3>World of Harry Potter. So all of those things are

38
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 3>there and will have an even better representation for you.

39
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.840
<v Speaker 3>But what is exciting or will be something for you

40
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 3>to experience is going to be a Star Trek, which

41
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 3>is not. In fact, I got a little bit of

42
00:01:58.200 --> 00:01:59.719
<v Speaker 3>a sneak peek and I'm kind of excited about it

43
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:05.159
<v Speaker 3>because if you watched the series Picard on I watched

44
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:08.280
<v Speaker 3>some of this, so okay, when you saw the Enterprise

45
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 3>D from the Next Generation, when you saw the bridge

46
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:13.639
<v Speaker 3>that was in that series, so they had to recreate

47
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 3>it from the original series that had been retired. Yes,

48
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:17.560
<v Speaker 3>it's kind of been piecemealed out and a lot of

49
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:20.520
<v Speaker 3>different people from the Star Trek world own parts of

50
00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 3>the original Enterprise D's bridge. They actually took the bridge

51
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.080
<v Speaker 3>from Picard the series and will be on that set

52
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.080
<v Speaker 3>as part of one of the experiences.

53
00:02:29.159 --> 00:02:29.840
<v Speaker 4>So very cool.

54
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 3>If you ever remember attending Universal Studios years ago, I'm

55
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 3>going to say eighties and nineties, they had a Paramount

56
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 3>experience and you're able to experience the original series of

57
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.439
<v Speaker 3>Star Trek and now you're able to experience a whole

58
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.039
<v Speaker 3>new world by getting a little peak at a Picard

59
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.199
<v Speaker 3>but also a special walk through attraction which if you

60
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:53.439
<v Speaker 3>are familiar with the lot, they did a Walking Dead

61
00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 3>year round Halloween event for a couple of years and

62
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.680
<v Speaker 3>that is just up on the upper lot near Universal Plaza.

63
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 4>That is where Star Trek Red Alert will be.

64
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 3>You'll be able to experience it back on the back

65
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.199
<v Speaker 3>lot set and in World Experiences they're calling them. You'll

66
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.360
<v Speaker 3>actually be able to go to where certain scenes from

67
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 3>Back to the Future were filmed, and so that'll be

68
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:15.479
<v Speaker 3>a whole experience for you. Also, Dungeons and Dragons Secrets

69
00:03:15.520 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 3>of Water Deep will be there, and I actually got

70
00:03:18.159 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 3>to see some of the dungeon masters that will be

71
00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:25.280
<v Speaker 3>available for you, and some really incredible villains from Dungeons

72
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.800
<v Speaker 3>and Dragons will also be available. And then you've got

73
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 3>one piece, which is anime. They have the Grand Pirate

74
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 3>Gathering happening up on the upper lot we talk I

75
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 3>have not you should, but I will because I also.

76
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.280
<v Speaker 4>That's where I got to eat the food from.

77
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.840
<v Speaker 3>So if you look at Nick poll okayor this Week

78
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.199
<v Speaker 3>of with Nick on Instagram right now in the stories,

79
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.520
<v Speaker 3>that's also a link for you to be able to

80
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 3>see us on YouTube. But I also gave you a

81
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:49.439
<v Speaker 3>preview of one of the meals that you'll be able

82
00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 3>to enjoy while you're checking out fan Fest at Universal. Also,

83
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:57.479
<v Speaker 3>Jiu Jitsu Kaisan Hunger of the Cursed is going to

84
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 3>be going on. That'll be a thing for you to experience.

85
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.599
<v Speaker 3>So there's a lot happening, and I think the thing

86
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:08.080
<v Speaker 3>that I'm excited about this specifically is because I love Halloween.

87
00:04:08.199 --> 00:04:10.039
<v Speaker 3>We all know that that's not news if you tuned

88
00:04:10.080 --> 00:04:12.759
<v Speaker 3>into Later or KFI or Coast or anything here.

89
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 4>For the time I was with, iHeart.

90
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 3>I specifically am a huge fan of the immersive experience,

91
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 3>and this is a whole new level of that. Because

92
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 3>we've talked about it briefly, we'll talk about it as

93
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:26.759
<v Speaker 3>it comes up, because it should be August, Horror Unleashed

94
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 3>will be coming to Las Vegas at Area fifteen. That

95
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.560
<v Speaker 3>is going to be a year round Halloween experience from

96
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.720
<v Speaker 3>Universal Studios. But specifically that's this whole thing, and I'm

97
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 3>excited because as opposed to Disney, who does a lot

98
00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 3>of these after dark events, and I always encourage you

99
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:43.480
<v Speaker 3>to really go because it's a fantastic time to get

100
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 3>really short weight times on attractions, even if you're not

101
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 3>into that specific idea, or if that's not you know,

102
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:51.399
<v Speaker 3>maybe you're not a fan of a certain portion of

103
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:54.920
<v Speaker 3>the Walt Disney you know Canon if you will, maybe

104
00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 3>Star Wars is not your thing, but Star Wars Night

105
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:58.399
<v Speaker 3>is going on right now and it is still not

106
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 3>sold out at Disneyland. It's a great time for you

107
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 3>to experience all the attractions here at Universal Studios.

108
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:05.120
<v Speaker 4>Hollywood.

109
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 3>That is a very different story. There is a very

110
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 3>different story because these are immersive experiences like you've never had.

111
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:14.839
<v Speaker 3>So John Murdy, is this the Mad Scientists or has

112
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.040
<v Speaker 3>been the Mad Scientists behind all the Halloween events. I

113
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 3>hope to meet some of the team coming up here

114
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 3>soon with Universal, but it's exciting and I and also

115
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.720
<v Speaker 3>they added late to the game, Wicked will be there,

116
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 3>so you'll be able to meet Glinda, and Glinda and

117
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Alphaba they will both be there, and so much more.

118
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.519
<v Speaker 3>Like there's more and more things that I have been

119
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:38.759
<v Speaker 3>privy to but can't really speak on quite yet.

120
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.800
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you about that, because a week

121
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.560
<v Speaker 2>or so ago we were talking about the slow evolution

122
00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:47.199
<v Speaker 2>of city walk sure as it leads in the Universal

123
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Studios and how Universal Studios is building out that park.

124
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 2>They're also building up hotels around the property. What did

125
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 2>you notice, if anything, about the change. It's really a

126
00:05:58.360 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 2>different world. And I was going to say we did

127
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.000
<v Speaker 2>talk about it. You guys talked about it here on later.

128
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Having walked through it today, there's so many new businesses

129
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:11.000
<v Speaker 2>that are coming, both restaurants, bars.

130
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.120
<v Speaker 3>So it's not dead dead. It's not dead dead. And

131
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.199
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the thing. As opposed to Wall to Florida,

132
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 3>where Universal Orlando is truly a resort. You have to

133
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 3>always remember that Universal Studios Hollywood is a theme park

134
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:24.600
<v Speaker 3>that they shoved into a working studio.

135
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 4>So it's very, very different.

136
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.240
<v Speaker 3>So when you're talking about the Hilton or the Sheraton,

137
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.680
<v Speaker 3>which overlooked the property right now, that's where the vast

138
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:33.839
<v Speaker 3>majority of people were being put up who were filming

139
00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 3>things up until the recent pass when there was a

140
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 3>theme park there. So you can also see Universal Plaza,

141
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 3>you can see one Universal, you can see NBC Universal

142
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 3>from the one to one freeway as well as part

143
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.519
<v Speaker 3>of the one thirty four as you're coming over here

144
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:50.160
<v Speaker 3>towards Burbank. And so it's very interesting, but so many

145
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.800
<v Speaker 3>businesses are closed right now, and there's not a whole

146
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 3>lot of footprint of anything once you're on site, as

147
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:59.639
<v Speaker 3>opposed to maybe Not's Berry Farm and Wayna Park, You've

148
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.439
<v Speaker 3>got lot of things around that area, Disneyland and Anaheim,

149
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.439
<v Speaker 3>You've got plenty of things going on here. You're kind

150
00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.879
<v Speaker 3>of in Universal City. And granted you can go across

151
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.079
<v Speaker 3>the one to one over to Venture Boulevard and go

152
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 3>over to Studio City, but there's not a lot going

153
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.639
<v Speaker 3>on there, but the things that are coming to City

154
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 3>Walk I'm stoked for because that thing is as opposed

155
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 3>to the Orlando Resort, where they have really leaned into

156
00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.360
<v Speaker 3>their city Walk and having incredible restaurants and bars and

157
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 3>nightclubs and everything else. We never really had that here, sadly,

158
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:30.600
<v Speaker 3>and so I'm excited to see what's going to be coming,

159
00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 3>especially with the new summer season right around the corner.

160
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 3>We've also got the brand new Fast and Furious. We're

161
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:40.959
<v Speaker 3>waiting on that one for the roller coaster to open,

162
00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 3>and so many other things that are being added to

163
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:45.519
<v Speaker 3>in and around. So I think, you know, even though

164
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:48.639
<v Speaker 3>a lot of Universal's resources have been focused on Epic Universe,

165
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:51.000
<v Speaker 3>which is getting ready to open Memorial Day weekend their

166
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:53.759
<v Speaker 3>third gate down in Florida, there's a lot that's being

167
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 3>put into here, So I'm excited about that.

168
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 4>Are they really, and maybe I'm just reading too much

169
00:07:57.439 --> 00:07:57.800
<v Speaker 4>sure of this.

170
00:07:57.959 --> 00:08:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Are they saying we're not going for the family quote

171
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:03.600
<v Speaker 2>unquote family fun.

172
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:05.399
<v Speaker 4>Sure, we're going for the.

173
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:10.399
<v Speaker 2>More tweens, teens, young adults, a little more edgier fun.

174
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:12.000
<v Speaker 4>That's what I'm going to agree with that.

175
00:08:12.079 --> 00:08:14.920
<v Speaker 3>I do have plenty of offerings because obviously Super Nintendo

176
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:18.439
<v Speaker 3>World and Mario, that brand goes to family friendly one

177
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:20.879
<v Speaker 3>hundred percent. Harry Potter for the most part as well.

178
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.079
<v Speaker 3>Wisiting World is the same, although during Halloween it gets

179
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:25.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, the death Eaters come in and he really

180
00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 3>gets a darker turn, but it takes a beautiful turn

181
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 3>for the holidays when Christmas comes around for the Wizarding World.

182
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.600
<v Speaker 3>So I think that what and this is something like

183
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 3>we talked about and you were talking about earlier about

184
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:38.279
<v Speaker 3>going to the theater, going to the movies. I think

185
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.120
<v Speaker 3>they're looking at who is spending the money where and how.

186
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 3>So that's why I think they're leaning into those who

187
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:48.519
<v Speaker 3>have more disposable income. Family vacations will always still happen,

188
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:52.919
<v Speaker 3>but if you look at historically our resorts here, be

189
00:08:53.039 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 3>it at Universal, be it at Disney, and be it

190
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.480
<v Speaker 3>at Knots, those are a lot of locals that are

191
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 3>coming over and over and over again, as opposed to Florida,

192
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.720
<v Speaker 3>where you have Kissimi and you've got Orlando, and you've

193
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.720
<v Speaker 3>got SeaWorld and Universal and you've got Disney properties. I mean,

194
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:09.639
<v Speaker 3>you've got four gates for Disney, you've got three gates

195
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 3>for universal gates, meaning the different theme parks that they're available.

196
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.039
<v Speaker 3>It's literally built out to be that way, and people

197
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 3>come from around the world to visit Orlando and Kassimi

198
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:22.679
<v Speaker 3>as opposed to here we get a lot of maybe

199
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:25.120
<v Speaker 3>folks coming off the Pacific rim. That's always historically been

200
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:27.639
<v Speaker 3>a very big thing, and that's why Tokyo Disneyland, if

201
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 3>you ever go to Tokyo Disneyland, is a near copy,

202
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.840
<v Speaker 3>a carbon copy of Disneyland here because that is where

203
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:37.279
<v Speaker 3>the vast majority of that tourism group demographic was coming from.

204
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.159
<v Speaker 3>If you go to Tokyo Disney c that's a different

205
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.200
<v Speaker 3>ballgame altogether. But that's also very unique because it's owned

206
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.279
<v Speaker 3>not by Disney but by Oil Land, Oriental Land, and Sea.

207
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.200
<v Speaker 3>That's why it's sixty eight dollars a ticket tick right in,

208
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:50.399
<v Speaker 3>and that's the thing to think. It's only sixty eight

209
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:52.600
<v Speaker 3>bucks to get into the parks there. Thank you, Sam

210
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:56.159
<v Speaker 3>Goochime good chime in there. Sixty eight bucks. So they

211
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.279
<v Speaker 3>do not have an anualassoord or program in Tokyo right now,

212
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:03.480
<v Speaker 3>purely because sixty eight bucks, I mean, that's two movies

213
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:05.399
<v Speaker 3>at this point in time with popcorn and candy or

214
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:08.879
<v Speaker 3>that's dinner for four, Like, it's very inexpensive. And on

215
00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:11.360
<v Speaker 3>top of that, depending on where the dollar is against

216
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.639
<v Speaker 3>the en, you're able to really enjoy a lot of merchandise, shopping,

217
00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:18.080
<v Speaker 3>a lot of things. Oriental Lendency is very very smart

218
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 3>with how they develop things. I mean they literally close

219
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.639
<v Speaker 3>their Space Mountain completely. It's being demolished all the way

220
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:26.200
<v Speaker 3>to the ground. And in twenty twenty seven to twenty

221
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.159
<v Speaker 3>twenty eight is when they'll be opening a brand new

222
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.799
<v Speaker 3>Space Mountain like we've never seen with a whole new

223
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.240
<v Speaker 3>ride system inside of it. So there's so much else

224
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:37.360
<v Speaker 3>happening in that realm. But also to go with Universal specifically,

225
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 3>as they're talking about here, Universal properties in Asia are

226
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:42.559
<v Speaker 3>incredible and the things that they do to pour into it.

227
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:45.519
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I'm so ecstatic, and it's been a long

228
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.080
<v Speaker 3>time since I've been really stoked about something a Universal

229
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:50.679
<v Speaker 3>because I love it's in our backyard. I love the

230
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:53.960
<v Speaker 3>history that's behind it. But you don't get a lot.

231
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:56.480
<v Speaker 3>We don't get a lot here now. We Florida gets

232
00:10:56.519 --> 00:10:58.559
<v Speaker 3>incredible things, but they have the land and then spice

233
00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.320
<v Speaker 3>and everything else here we have a physical working studio,

234
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:03.840
<v Speaker 3>to the point that Universal the company has sold off

235
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 3>portions of the back lot to other studios. Now not

236
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:09.480
<v Speaker 3>only were they contracting and still contracting, but like it's

237
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 3>piecemealed out, so you'll be able to go through things.

238
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.720
<v Speaker 3>But you have to think Fast and Furious. The three

239
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:19.639
<v Speaker 3>D attraction just closed, and you've got also Peter Jackson

240
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:24.960
<v Speaker 3>with his King Kong three D. That's King Kong three sixty.

241
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:28.159
<v Speaker 3>Rather that could be on the chopping block here in

242
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:30.519
<v Speaker 3>the near future, but there's so much happening the thing

243
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:31.879
<v Speaker 3>that I would be excited. I think this is kind

244
00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:34.240
<v Speaker 3>of like the not to go off topic a little bit,

245
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.399
<v Speaker 3>but the studio tour is where you experience or previously

246
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.600
<v Speaker 3>experience the Fast and Furious portion of the attraction. Here

247
00:11:39.639 --> 00:11:41.159
<v Speaker 3>in Florida, it's a free standing attraction.

248
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Here.

249
00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:44.480
<v Speaker 3>There's talk that they're going to turn it into oz

250
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.440
<v Speaker 3>and we might be seeing Wicket as the very closing

251
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:53.399
<v Speaker 3>sequence for the new newly imagined studio tour that's coming.

252
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.360
<v Speaker 4>That could be its own theme park, could be.

253
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:00.279
<v Speaker 3>But that soundstage where Fast and Furious was right would

254
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.440
<v Speaker 3>be epic to be able to have a way for

255
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 3>you to actually go on a ride and go through

256
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:08.600
<v Speaker 3>and meet and greet the Wizard and Alphaba and Glinda.

257
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.000
<v Speaker 4>But I know we gotta go. I want to coming back.

258
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:12.720
<v Speaker 4>Though we're coming back. I got so much more. But

259
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.799
<v Speaker 4>like I'm excited. So I know we got a good break,

260
00:12:14.840 --> 00:12:16.000
<v Speaker 4>but I got more for you?

261

<v Speaker 4>What's for you? What's what? Caf I?

<v Speaker 2>take it away, I got it.

269
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.559
<v Speaker 3>So we were talking about FanFest nights that start off

270
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.759
<v Speaker 3>this Friday. They are select nights all the way through May,

271
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:09.120
<v Speaker 3>and that's happening at Universal Studios. But let's take it

272
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.559
<v Speaker 3>to the Free ninety nine world. You and I kind

273
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:13.279
<v Speaker 3>of I mean me for sure, but live in the

274
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.919
<v Speaker 3>South Bay. So this weekend I've talked about it before,

275
00:13:15.960 --> 00:13:17.799
<v Speaker 3>Open Studios, Long Beach, but this is going to be

276
00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:21.080
<v Speaker 3>arts Open Sam Pedro so open Studios and Galleries happening

277
00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:24.519
<v Speaker 3>both Saturday, and Sunday, Saturday from noon to six and

278
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:27.039
<v Speaker 3>Sunday from noon to four, and that'll be April twenty

279
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.240
<v Speaker 3>six and twenty seven. This is a great opportunity for

280
00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:31.919
<v Speaker 3>you to get out. And again we're always talking about

281
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:35.159
<v Speaker 3>spending a few extra bucks on your local community and

282
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.320
<v Speaker 3>what's in your own backyard. And one of my favorite

283
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 3>places to go that I've talked about many many times

284
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.720
<v Speaker 3>is Crafted, which is at the Port of Los Angeles,

285
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.519
<v Speaker 3>and it is a collection of many artists who have

286
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:50.600
<v Speaker 3>between food and drinks and flowers and soap and candles

287
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:52.600
<v Speaker 3>and you name it. All the goodies are there. So

288
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.399
<v Speaker 3>you've got so much as you can check out in

289
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:57.039
<v Speaker 3>the San Pedro area. But it's a great opportunity for

290
00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.519
<v Speaker 3>you to get out. A lot of the studios will

291
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:02.559
<v Speaker 3>be avail even if they're not at the facilities, such

292
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.879
<v Speaker 3>as Crafted, which is a big warehouse. But there's gonna

293
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:09.639
<v Speaker 3>be dance parties going on. They've got looks like Tango Lessons,

294
00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:16.600
<v Speaker 3>Dance Factory, Folklodco, Ivy League Suit Okay, lots of stuff

295
00:14:16.600 --> 00:14:18.799
<v Speaker 3>going down. I mean yeah, I was like at this point,

296
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:20.279
<v Speaker 3>I'm just kind of looking over some of the events.

297
00:14:20.279 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm like all right, well that sounds interesting. But the

298
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 3>thing that's really cool going on Sunday, the San Pedro

299

331
00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:01.799
<v Speaker 3>a place that doesn't usually serve that are specifically cultural

332
00:16:01.799 --> 00:16:03.480
<v Speaker 3>in one way or another unless it's attached to a

338
00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.240
<v Speaker 3>be you know, wrapping up the end of April. So

339
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 3>that's enough. It's enough. It's enough to keep me busy.

340
00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:26.960
<v Speaker 3>But it's so much fun. And I think the thing

341
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:29.720
<v Speaker 3>that's so nice right now is that we're getting back

342
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:33.639
<v Speaker 3>into a time period where the weather is nicer. And

343
00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.639
<v Speaker 3>I love that we live in southern California because we

344
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:39.519
<v Speaker 3>really can do so much outdoors all year round, and

345
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.240
<v Speaker 3>so we really are spoiled in that regard, and so

346
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:46.200
<v Speaker 3>go to kind of going back to CityWalk. There's a

347
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.720
<v Speaker 3>lot of stuff coming to it back with you, and

348
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:50.759
<v Speaker 3>that's the thing is I'm excited to see what's coming.

349
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:53.720
<v Speaker 3>For a long time, it was the very stale things

350
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.799
<v Speaker 3>that had been there for years, and that's great, but

351
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.559
<v Speaker 3>CityWalk really, I mean, the funniest part is there's an

352
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:02.960
<v Speaker 3>Abracarm and Fitch that was there for years and that

353
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:05.880
<v Speaker 3>will become a new store now. And there are many

354
00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:07.839
<v Speaker 3>many restaurants that have been there for years that I

355
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:09.799
<v Speaker 3>had never even thought about attending, and now the new

356
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.240
<v Speaker 3>places are coming and I'm so excited for so it's

357
00:17:12.319 --> 00:17:14.119
<v Speaker 3>nice to have something on this side of town. I

358
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:18.119
<v Speaker 3>am hoping sending out big hopes, hopes hopes with Cedar

359
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.759
<v Speaker 3>Fair having purchased six Flags. Along with that whole merger

360
00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:24.319
<v Speaker 3>between Nottsberry Farmer and six Flags, I'm hoping that we'll

361
00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.079
<v Speaker 3>be seeing some nice things coming to the future of

362
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:30.440
<v Speaker 3>six Flags. Magic Mountain up in Awesome Town or Valencia,

363
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:33.240
<v Speaker 3>So we'll see, because it's another opportunity for you to

364
00:17:33.319 --> 00:17:36.279
<v Speaker 3>enjoy a place to go for the summer season again.

365
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:39.039
<v Speaker 4>How can they find all this information? Again? Social media?

366
00:17:39.079 --> 00:17:41.599
<v Speaker 3>You can find me Instagram is probably the fastest and easiest,

367
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:44.799
<v Speaker 3>but Nick Poliochini which could be a little bit more challenging.

368
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.359
<v Speaker 3>So this Weekend with Nick is the easiest link in

369
00:17:47.400 --> 00:17:49.240
<v Speaker 3>bio for both will take you to all the things
