00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from

2
00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>KFI AM six forty.

3
00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.439
<v Speaker 2>Joining us in studio as friend of the show and

4
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 2>my brother from another mother. Say, say, Nick Poliochini, what

5
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:12.560
<v Speaker 2>is up?

6
00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:12.839
<v Speaker 1>Nick?

7
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 3>It is so good to be back with you. And

8
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:16.760
<v Speaker 3>I can't even believe, and I'm going to do the

9
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.480
<v Speaker 3>cliched thing. I can't believe we're already into February because

10
00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.600
<v Speaker 3>it already feels like we have lived through a year

11
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 3>to the.

12
00:00:22.079 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 2>Point I can believe and appreciative that we are in

13
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.519
<v Speaker 2>February because January could not end soon enough.

14
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, exactly. So I'm glad that we're finally here. But

15
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:31.679
<v Speaker 3>it's good to be here and thank you for having me.

16
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:33.399
<v Speaker 3>But I just want to do you want to just

17
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 3>jump into it?

18
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay?

19
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 3>So I want to talk about something I actually did

20
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 3>last week and it's something that's really cool that I

21
00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.960
<v Speaker 3>think we'll be exciting because it comes up here in

22
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.399
<v Speaker 3>the next couple of months. So I was at the

23
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 3>Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, and this was something

24
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.159
<v Speaker 3>that has the sixtieth anniversary this year, and this is

25
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 3>something that's very unique and different because it is a

26
00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.640
<v Speaker 3>fundraiser for diverse arts programs within the schools in the

27
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Altadena and the Pasadena and everything else. So it's very

28
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 3>interesting because it was supposed to happen. We did an

29
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.959
<v Speaker 3>empty house party, so it's this big, beautiful home in

30
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 3>Pasadena and all these incredible designers come together and decorate it,

31
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.159
<v Speaker 3>and then you get to go through it and you

32
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.120
<v Speaker 3>get to meet the designers and you figure out their process,

33
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 3>which in the world that we're living in right now,

34
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.760
<v Speaker 3>it kind of helps. It was really interesting to talk

35
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:19.439
<v Speaker 3>to me because a lot of them are very local,

36
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.359
<v Speaker 3>live in the SGV, the San Gabriel Valley area, and

37
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.640
<v Speaker 3>so they're very affected by the ETN fire and everything

38
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 3>else that happened. So but also the amount of money,

39
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:31.920
<v Speaker 3>I mean the millions of dollars that have been raised

40
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 3>by the Showcase House of Design. So this will be

41
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 3>the sixtieth anniversary and so far it's twenty six million

42
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 3>dollars contributed to the arts within the San Gabriel Valley area.

43
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.079
<v Speaker 3>So this year is going to be very very different

44
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 3>because they're also working with cal Fire, and they're also

45
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 3>working with the Eaton Fire and trying to help people

46
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.760
<v Speaker 3>that are trying to figure out and navigate people getting

47
00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 3>back into their homes and however that all plays out.

48
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 3>But being able to go and tear through this big,

49
00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.799
<v Speaker 3>beautifle home that was torn down to pretty much the

50
00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:07.239
<v Speaker 3>studs and getting ready for it to come in is

51
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 3>so different and unique because for me, I'm not that guy.

52
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 3>I'm not that designer guy. So to be able to

53
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.000
<v Speaker 3>experience it in person and being able to talk to

54
00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.439
<v Speaker 3>people and kind of get their process for it, but

55
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.599
<v Speaker 3>also to have this unusual weight that kind of was

56
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 3>overshadowing the whole event because it was supposed to happen

57
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 3>literally the week that the fires broke out, and so

58
00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.120
<v Speaker 3>then for it to transition into this is so unique.

59
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.759
<v Speaker 3>But to see and be able to talk to these designers,

60
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 3>some of them very very young, and that are up

61
00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 3>and coming, working with different architecture firms and everything here

62
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.680
<v Speaker 3>in the Southland and really being able to do it.

63
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:44.879
<v Speaker 3>So this is just one of the many things that

64
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.000
<v Speaker 3>you can check out. You can always follow me on

65
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.919
<v Speaker 3>social media. Nick pouliyo'keanney this weekend and Nick. Details for

66
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 3>it are at the Lincoln Bio. But that one was

67
00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 3>so different because, as we talked about, and we've talked

68
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 3>about a few times, having been over the Palisades with

69
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 3>fires and volunteering, and then now being back into the

70
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 3>San Marino Altadena Pasadena area. The whole thing. It's so

71
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:11.439
<v Speaker 3>interesting to be in the environment, even if you're not

72
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:15.360
<v Speaker 3>directly in the area where the fire was affected, It's

73
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 3>affected everybody, and it doesn't matter if we're talking about

74
00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 3>the bougie world of San Marino and South Past and

75
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.919
<v Speaker 3>everything else. It has genuinely affected everybody. And so to

76
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:29.800
<v Speaker 3>be an event where it was really kind of a celebration,

77
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's their sixtieth anniversary anyway of raising so

78
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.280
<v Speaker 3>much money for the kids, but it was specific to

79
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 3>being able to talk to a lot of people who

80
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.560
<v Speaker 3>lost a lot or knew people who lost a lot,

81
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 3>So it was very, very different. But anyway, that was

82
00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 3>the empty house party, and I've got some pictures on

83
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 3>social media that you can check out. It's pretty wild.

84
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 3>It's a beautiful home. But I'll be also passing along

85
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.560
<v Speaker 3>details as time progresses about how you can check it

86
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:55.560
<v Speaker 3>out when it's all decked out and has all those

87
00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.719
<v Speaker 3>designers and all the fun and excitement for it. It's different,

88
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 3>it's unique, it's something special. It is not free ninety

89
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:04.800
<v Speaker 3>nine but all the money I know. But I'll get

90
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.360
<v Speaker 3>to the free ninety nine stuff there in a bit.

91
00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:10.000
<v Speaker 3>But it's something where the money is going to a

92
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:11.719
<v Speaker 3>cause and you get to see it, because that's I

93
00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 3>think the thing that we don't experience a lot is

94
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 3>we make a donation. I don't want to call anybody out,

95
00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:20.800
<v Speaker 3>but there's a couple of places that even this week,

96
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 3>have said, oh, we're putting out you know, this box

97
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 3>of candy and a dollar from it is going to

98
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.600
<v Speaker 3>support Yeah, which I hugely appreciate because I don't know

99
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.879
<v Speaker 3>every facet of it. But when you actually get to

100
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:37.439
<v Speaker 3>tangibly experience where the money is going, that's so different

101
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 3>than just to be like, oh, I feel good about myself.

102
00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 3>I donated money. I was able to support a cause

103
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 3>and help people out. It's less abstract it is, and

104
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:48.199
<v Speaker 3>it's very like when we're talking design, it's literally you know,

105
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:51.759
<v Speaker 3>you're able to be in there and really touch everything

106
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 3>and feel every you know, piece of material from wallpaper

107
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:57.480
<v Speaker 3>to paint, the way that the sculptures are done, to

108
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 3>hearing the stories of why they picked what went into

109
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 3>what room to honor that home that's in Pasadena and

110
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:05.319
<v Speaker 3>has this here history from the nineteen twenties when it

111
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.160
<v Speaker 3>was built. So it's really cool, really different. But something

112
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 3>else to get into that's a little bit more exciting

113
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 3>is that's happening right now is the Pan African Film

114
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 3>and Arts Festival kicked off tonight, So I was actually

115
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 3>this is my I came over here because I want

116
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.000
<v Speaker 3>to hang out here, but tonight was a really cool

117
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 3>opening party for it. But this is something that kind

118
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.399
<v Speaker 3>of goes back to what you've talked about earlier, that

119
00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:36.199
<v Speaker 3>in real life IRL theater crimunal experience, because this is

120
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.680
<v Speaker 3>different for me, and this for me is one of

121
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 3>the first major film festivals that's happening here in southern California.

122
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:44.199
<v Speaker 3>They happen every weekend. They happen every week. This one

123
00:05:44.279 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 3>runs through the middle of the month. But you get

124
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:50.439
<v Speaker 3>to sit down and meet those people. So beyond talking

125
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 3>about Fantastic four and all the really cool trailers and

126
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 3>everything with Marvel Do we love from the big, huge powerhouses,

127
00:05:56.600 --> 00:05:58.360
<v Speaker 3>to be able to meet people kind of like you

128
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 3>even talked about the documentaries and being able to meet

129
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 3>these people and talk to them and really get that feel.

130
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.279
<v Speaker 3>For me, this is what makes that in person experience

131
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.480
<v Speaker 3>more viable. And so even if you don't go to

132
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 3>this specific film festival, I encourage you to find what's

133
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.839
<v Speaker 3>going on in your backyard, because literally, there's stuff that

134
00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:17.720
<v Speaker 3>goes on in Newport Beach, There's stuff that goes on

135
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:19.759
<v Speaker 3>out in Riverside, there's stuff that happens up in ventur

136
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:22.079
<v Speaker 3>there's things that happen in San Diego. So much is

137
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker 3>happening throughout the Southland that happens not just on the

138
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:27.319
<v Speaker 3>weekends but during the week And I think that's the

139
00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 3>biggest thing, because sometimes you just need a reset, and

140
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.360
<v Speaker 3>we've really hit that point now where the in person

141
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.920
<v Speaker 3>experience for movies may not connect with everybody.

142
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 2>And I think after a certain point, we get in

143
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.360
<v Speaker 2>such a routine of it's either the movies or this

144
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.399
<v Speaker 2>or that, we lose sight of the other options which

145
00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.800
<v Speaker 2>are available, or we don't think to explore these other options.

146
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 3>No, And I think that's it. You hit the nail

147
00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.680
<v Speaker 3>on the head specifically, because we get into our bubble,

148
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 3>we get into our blinders on situation. I got to

149
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 3>get up at X number hours, I got work, I

150
00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 3>got this. I can maybe fit in, you know, a

151
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.759
<v Speaker 3>drink with a friends during the week These are really

152
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.040
<v Speaker 3>cool opportunities for you to get out there and to

153
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.360
<v Speaker 3>be a part of the community and also get that

154
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:12.839
<v Speaker 3>drink with your friends. And it doesn't take much and

155
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.560
<v Speaker 3>for the most part, like including the Filmfest, the Pan

156
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 3>African Film and Arts Festival, they have an install at

157
00:07:18.680 --> 00:07:21.199
<v Speaker 3>Westfield Cuver City, so it's happening at the Colus Theater.

158
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Excuse me, Yes, the fox Fields Mall.

159
00:07:23.160 --> 00:07:24.560
<v Speaker 3>You're correct, it is the fox Hills Mall.

160
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>No, if you ever call it, well, you're right.

161
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:28.639
<v Speaker 2>Look his mama name him Clay. I'm gonna call him Clay.

162
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 2>It's the fox Fields Mall.

163
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 3>Which is funny because no one when going back to

164
00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.839
<v Speaker 3>my time as the traffic reporter here for KFI, I

165
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.120
<v Speaker 3>would always talks about Fox Hills and people literally like

166
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 3>where's that? And I was like, what the monument? But

167
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 3>that's so saying you cannot miss it. If you're going

168
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:45.000
<v Speaker 3>up the four h five, you cannot miss the Fox

169
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Hills Mall. Now granted it out now has Westfield Culver

170
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 3>City branding and everything else. Okay what they call it,

171
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:52.879
<v Speaker 3>but that's it. And that whole area right there just

172
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 3>before the ninety is going to be the Fox Hills

173
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.600
<v Speaker 3>area like right there on the East Edge city right exactly.

174
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.920
<v Speaker 3>But it's so in go to that and being able

175
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.759
<v Speaker 3>to even go to which you used to be the

176
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 3>Magic Johnson Theater in Crenshaw is now a cinema, so yes,

177
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.199
<v Speaker 3>the theater and so they're one of the venues that

178
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 3>will be be showcasing the films from the Pan African

179
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:18.720
<v Speaker 3>Film Festival. So it's something that's different. But again going

180
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:21.959
<v Speaker 3>back over to Fox Hills Mall, Westfield, Culver City, that

181
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 3>they do have over one hundred and fifty international artists

182
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 3>that have an art installation there which is kind of cool.

183
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 3>So that plays into the Free ninety nine. You may

184
00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:30.560
<v Speaker 3>get a little bit of you may get a little

185
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:31.439
<v Speaker 3>bit of commerce in there.

186
00:08:31.480 --> 00:08:32.320
<v Speaker 2>How much is that again?

187
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:33.559
<v Speaker 3>Free ninety nine?

188
00:08:33.639 --> 00:08:35.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, thank you very much. We got to go to

199
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.559
<v Speaker 2>going on? Where are we going? Where are you going?

200
00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:26.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to be headed off to Disney this weekend,

201
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 3>which is not surprising. We talked about many of my

202
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 3>eighteen times. But the thing that I like, and I

203
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.600
<v Speaker 3>actually was there today before coming in because right now

204
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.519
<v Speaker 3>is to celebrate Soulfully Festival. Well festival, I guess it's

205
00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.240
<v Speaker 3>not the right name for it, but to celebrate Soulfully

206
00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.240
<v Speaker 3>is happening at the Disneyland Resort, so it affects Downtown Disney,

207
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.519
<v Speaker 3>Disneyland Park, and Disney California Venture Park. The next two

208
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.159
<v Speaker 3>weekends are two of my favorite weekends at the resort

209
00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 3>because of the Fantasy Land Theater inside of Disneyland. So yes,

210
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.200
<v Speaker 3>it does require park admission, but if you are one

211
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.120
<v Speaker 3>of our Magic key holders, if you're an annual pass

212
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:58.480
<v Speaker 3>holder like me, this is well worth your time. So

213
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 3>go ahead and get in there and make that day

214
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.320
<v Speaker 3>reservation for Saturday or Sunday this weekend or next because

215
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.320
<v Speaker 3>they have the Celebrate Gospel, which is an absolutely incredible thing.

216
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Different choirs from around the south Land and around the country.

217
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:11.799
<v Speaker 3>So there's a couple that are coming in from Africa

218
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.960
<v Speaker 3>this year and a couple from Europe. So it's really

219
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.639
<v Speaker 3>really impressive for you to come in. And this is

220
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 3>something while it is not free ninety nine to get

221
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 3>into Disneyland, it is included with the price of admission.

222
00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.120
<v Speaker 3>So whether you're a magic keyholder and you are going

223
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.039
<v Speaker 3>and just have like myself, gospel, it is the Gospel Fest.

224
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 3>So it's the next two weekends. But it's so different

225
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:37.000
<v Speaker 3>and unique because a lot of people may have heard

226
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:40.279
<v Speaker 3>this music but have an experienced date. And if you've

227
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.679
<v Speaker 3>never been to church, like we've talked about church, right,

228
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:48.000
<v Speaker 3>this is that opportunity for you because it's not just

229
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:51.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, going to someone's home or going to somebody's

230
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:54.879
<v Speaker 3>home church. You've got different parishes from around the country,

231
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.000
<v Speaker 3>around the world that'll be there, but specifically you'll have

232
00:10:58.120 --> 00:11:01.360
<v Speaker 3>just choirs that come out and for me, that style

233
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.279
<v Speaker 3>of music, I mean as not to be cliched again

234
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.399
<v Speaker 3>with Disney with the celebrate soulfully, but there's a different

235
00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.320
<v Speaker 3>soul behind it. There's a different feeling behind that style

236
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:12.480
<v Speaker 3>of music, and so that is something worth checking out. Also,

237
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.559
<v Speaker 3>we're exactly a month away from Marty Grau, which I'm

238
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.039
<v Speaker 3>excited because that means I'll be here to celebrate Fat

239
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:20.039
<v Speaker 3>Tuesday with you guys, because Tuesdays with Nick and what's

240
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:22.399
<v Speaker 3>up with Nick? Hey, we're gonna be So a month

241
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.279
<v Speaker 3>from today is gonna be Marty Grau. But that doesn't

242
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:27.200
<v Speaker 3>mean it's not already everywhere around the Southland, including SeaWorld

243
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 3>down in San Diego. I was there this past weekend,

244
00:11:29.840 --> 00:11:32.159
<v Speaker 3>checked it out. They've got a brand new parade, so

245
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.559
<v Speaker 3>that is a great opportunity for you. Took my nieces

246
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.639
<v Speaker 3>down there because they have their birthdays at the end

247
00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 3>of January. And the thing that's special about SeaWorld, and

248
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:42.440
<v Speaker 3>it's very controversial still to this day, after Blackfish and

249
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:47.679
<v Speaker 3>everything else, SeaWorld is so educational, and that is where

250
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.120
<v Speaker 3>so many people are like, oh, I never go because

251
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:53.600
<v Speaker 3>of you know, the controversy behind how the animals retreat

252
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:56.039
<v Speaker 3>and everything else like that. And I can understand if

253
00:11:56.039 --> 00:11:58.559
<v Speaker 3>that's where you say, okay, But when I lived in

254
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.120
<v Speaker 3>San Diego as a kid, that was my first theme

255
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.440
<v Speaker 3>park before Disneyland or anything else, and I was so

256
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:07.320
<v Speaker 3>excited to be able to go in there and experience

257
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:09.399
<v Speaker 3>what it would be to be like a marine biologist.

258
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.159
<v Speaker 3>So that's the opportunity that's still there. So it's a

259
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:16.159
<v Speaker 3>very different world. Now, I don't think that's contradictory. Two

260
00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.159
<v Speaker 3>things could have been true, which is true.

261
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:21.480
<v Speaker 2>The treatment of the animals and marine life could have

262
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.080
<v Speaker 2>been problematic, and it was still education.

263
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Right, which is the thing. And I understand and relate

264
00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:29.759
<v Speaker 3>to where people come from of what you just said

265
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:32.399
<v Speaker 3>if it's something that is very deep to your heart.

266
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.000
<v Speaker 3>But the thing is, it is so incredible to have

267
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.240
<v Speaker 3>taken my nieces who are now six and nine and

268
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:41.399
<v Speaker 3>see the wonder in their eyes that you don't experience.

269
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:43.080
<v Speaker 3>You see them go have a good time at another

270
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:45.120
<v Speaker 3>theme park, or you take them to the church carnival

271
00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:46.320
<v Speaker 3>and they get to go on rides, and that's a

272
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:48.960
<v Speaker 3>whole fun experience. But being able to be up close

273
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.720
<v Speaker 3>and personal, especially with marine animals, is so unique and

274
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:55.039
<v Speaker 3>special and sea world. While you can experience that at

275
00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.080
<v Speaker 3>zoos or maybe if you're lucky enough to be able

276
00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.759
<v Speaker 3>to go some ways that has, you know, a wildlife

277
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.960
<v Speaker 3>preserve that you can experience. This is so different. But

278
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.080
<v Speaker 3>on top of that, completely separate you've got Marty Gross

279
00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:08.879
<v Speaker 3>celebrations underway down there. They also just had a Lunar

280
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 3>New Year celebration. If you're still looking to do Lunar's

281
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.399
<v Speaker 3>New Year, check out this weekend with Nick and Nick

282
00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:18.240
<v Speaker 3>Poliochini on Instagram. The Lincoln Bio has all the final

283
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:20.440
<v Speaker 3>celebrations that are happening for Lunar New Year, which just

284
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:25.480
<v Speaker 3>happened last week. So it's a really great opportunity. You granted,

285
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:27.440
<v Speaker 3>we're getting back into the swing of things after everything

286
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.000
<v Speaker 3>that hit us here in southern California, but there's so

287
00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.759
<v Speaker 3>much for you to enjoy. In fact, you can even

288
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.320
<v Speaker 3>head over to Buyne Park because this weekend kicks off

289
00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:38.679
<v Speaker 3>Peanuts celebration, so that's Peanuts Charles Schultz with Snoopy and

290
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:43.159
<v Speaker 3>Charlie Brown and Lucy. That celebration happens every year, and

291
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.360
<v Speaker 3>going to Wayne Park and going to Knotsberry Farm if

292
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.720
<v Speaker 3>you're looking for something a little bit more on the

293
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:51.879
<v Speaker 3>reasonably priced side. That theme park and resort is great

294
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:53.759
<v Speaker 3>and they have a fantastic hotel there. You can make

295
00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.639
<v Speaker 3>an entire experience out of it. But that's just a

296
00:13:56.639 --> 00:13:59.679
<v Speaker 3>bunch of stuff going on, Like it's we've gotten through January,

297
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.279
<v Speaker 3>which took three years to get through or so it.

298
00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:06.200
<v Speaker 2>Fell thereabouts maybe two and a half years.

299
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:09.639
<v Speaker 3>But now that we're moving into February, it's nice to

300
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 3>be able to get out. And that's my biggest encouragement.

301
00:14:12.440 --> 00:14:16.279
<v Speaker 3>As the air quality is improving around southern California the fires,

302
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:19.080
<v Speaker 3>it's time to get out because this is that time

303
00:14:19.120 --> 00:14:21.240
<v Speaker 3>of the year where things are a little chill and

304
00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.279
<v Speaker 3>a little mellow before we get into the thick of

305
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:25.200
<v Speaker 3>it once again, because spring break will be here right

306
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:26.480
<v Speaker 3>around the corner and then summer.

307
00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.519
<v Speaker 2>And it seems like we're getting rained this week, but

308
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 2>not this weekend.

309
00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:31.759
<v Speaker 3>Correct, And even if it is, and if it's going

310
00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.000
<v Speaker 3>to be what we've seen, we haven't had rain extensively.

311
00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 3>So that's one of those kind of the inside scoop

312
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.440
<v Speaker 3>if you will, of going to a theme park or

313
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.600
<v Speaker 3>going to any of these venues, even if it is

314
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.159
<v Speaker 3>an outdoor experience, if the experience isn't canceled or if

315
00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.159
<v Speaker 3>the park isn't closed for the day, it's a great

316
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.159
<v Speaker 3>time to go. If you want short lines, if you

317
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.440
<v Speaker 3>want to be able to get on everything. Obviously, check

318
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.679
<v Speaker 3>in and then the one thing that I'm gonna it'll

319
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.759
<v Speaker 3>be a tease for Rue and Back next week. But

320
00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 3>fan Fest is coming to Universal Studios, which is a

321
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 3>brand a new experience that will be coming up. I'll

322
00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.559
<v Speaker 3>be there for the opening weekend of it. But FanFest

323
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 3>will be the maybe the sister event to Halloween Horn Nights,

324
00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.759
<v Speaker 3>and it is going to be featuring Star Trek and

325
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.759
<v Speaker 3>Back to the Future and all the different Universal properties,

326
00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:21.279
<v Speaker 3>plus anime and all many, many, many different things. So

327
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:23.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, like it's now's the time we're getting

328
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:25.720
<v Speaker 3>back into the swing of things. There's so much happening

329
00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.919
<v Speaker 3>around southern California. And if you're doing Universal CityWalk, that's

330
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.080
<v Speaker 3>free ninety nine. If you're using Downtown Disney oh wait,

331
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:31.720
<v Speaker 3>wait wait.

332
00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:35.559
<v Speaker 2>City Walk is free parking pardons.

333
00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Not free, okay, but woo.

334
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.720
<v Speaker 3>But with validation, depending on where you're going, you'll be

335
00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:42.399
<v Speaker 3>able to get that.

336
00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Look, when I lived in Studio City, I spent a

337
00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:48.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of time back in the day at CityWalk. The

338
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.080
<v Speaker 2>parking was cost prohibitive.

339
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:53.720
<v Speaker 3>I can understand that. And here's my recommendation, and I

340
00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:56.120
<v Speaker 3>say this with all the love in the world for

341
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.120
<v Speaker 3>the Disneyland Resort. You can get a pass to Universal

342
00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Studios that includes parking for a very reasonable price of

343
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:06.080
<v Speaker 3>only a couple hundred bucks. Reasonable reasonable for a year's

344
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:08.000
<v Speaker 3>worth of exp oh years year's worth.

345
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Okay, yeah, we're not talking for one night. No no, no, okay,

346
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.559
<v Speaker 2>no no, because I know it was getting very expensive

347
00:16:12.600 --> 00:16:14.559
<v Speaker 2>for one night. I mean it's like one night going

348
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.200
<v Speaker 2>to see a sporting of it fifty dollars.

349
00:16:17.639 --> 00:16:19.559
<v Speaker 3>No, you're absolutely right, so I think that's it. And

350
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:21.759
<v Speaker 3>especially down your way. I mean you're in the thick

351
00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.879
<v Speaker 3>of it into a dome and the forum like ninety

352
00:16:27.960 --> 00:16:29.879
<v Speaker 3>no exactly. That's why I get lucky because I get

353
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:31.799
<v Speaker 3>to go, hey, Mo, you can stop my mind stop

354
00:16:31.840 --> 00:16:33.480
<v Speaker 3>by your house, do you mind? And I'm just lift

355
00:16:33.480 --> 00:16:35.159
<v Speaker 3>for uber over It would be funny because now I'm

356
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:36.960
<v Speaker 3>spending the money to get over there. But still yeah,

357
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:39.799
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, thanks for having me on dude. Always good

358
