Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: KFI Moo Kelly Here, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3: Now let's toss it over to Notica de la Cruz.
Speaker 4: Thank you so very much, Moe, and Happy Friday for
Speaker 4: discover so Cal. I went to the historic Adamson House.
Speaker 4: It's located in the beautiful city of Malibu. It is
Speaker 4: a charming and beautiful estate that was once the home
Speaker 4: to a very wealthy family. Built in nineteen twenty nine,
Speaker 4: it originally belonged to Rhoda Ridge Adamson and her husband
Speaker 4: Merritt Huntley. As Adamson Rooda was the daughter of Frederick
Speaker 4: and May Ridge, a prominent family that owned a vast
Speaker 4: portion of the land in Malibu. The house was part
Speaker 4: of their large ranch, which covered much of the area
Speaker 4: during that time. The Adamson House is known for its
Speaker 4: stunning Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, which gives its.
Speaker 5: Unique and elegant look.
Speaker 4: The tiles that decorate the house are one of the
Speaker 4: most special features, as they were created by Malibu Potteries
Speaker 4: and Malibu Potteries was owned by Rhoda's family These colorful
Speaker 4: tiles can be found throughout the property, adding its beauty
Speaker 4: and historic charm. One of the most breathtaking aspects of
Speaker 4: the Adamson's House is its location. Of course, the home
Speaker 4: sits right on the edge of Malibu Lagoon, offering incredible views.
Speaker 5: Of the Pacific Ocean.
Speaker 4: Visitors can enjoy the site of waves crashing along the shore,
Speaker 4: as well as peaceful views of the surrounding gardens and lagoon.
Speaker 4: Its serene place that is truly it just captures you.
Speaker 4: And not to mention the Malibu coastal landscape is amazing
Speaker 4: as well. The Adamson House is now a museum that
Speaker 4: welcomes visitors to learn about the rich history of Malibu.
Speaker 4: It is open to the public for tours and guests
Speaker 4: can explore the inside of the house and it's lovely gardens.
Speaker 4: The estate gives people a glimpse into what life kind
Speaker 4: of was when you were a wealthy family in the
Speaker 4: early times of Malibu. And not to mention that the
Speaker 4: Ridge family and the Adamson family they owned a lot
Speaker 4: of property there. They were kind of responsible for making
Speaker 4: Malibu Malibu and what it is today. Overall, the Adamson
Speaker 4: House is not just a beautiful home, but a piece
Speaker 4: of California history. It's scenic location, remarkable architecture, the connection
Speaker 4: to the founding family of Malibu make it a must
Speaker 4: visit destination. Tours are available year round, offering a perfect
Speaker 4: opportunity to experience both the beauty of the house and
Speaker 4: the history behind it. The historic Adamson House. Guided public
Speaker 4: tours are opened on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from
Speaker 4: eleven am to two pm, with the last tours starting
Speaker 4: at two pm. Entrance to the house is only available
Speaker 4: with a guided tour. There are no self guided tours
Speaker 4: inside the home. Let me just repeat that, no self
Speaker 4: guided tours inside the home. Guided tours run about I
Speaker 4: want to say forty five minutes, and reservations are required
Speaker 4: for groups of seven or more and that must be
Speaker 4: thirty days in advance. Admission to the Adamson House and
Speaker 4: Garden tours is cash only. It's seven dollars and for
Speaker 4: kids five and under is free and kids six to
Speaker 4: seventeen is two dollars. So don't miss also the delightful
Speaker 4: gift shop on the premises. It has amazing books, It
Speaker 4: has Malibu pottery tiles that were of course hand crafted,
Speaker 4: and it just gives you a little bit of the history.
Speaker 4: And the museum is absolutely breathtaking. It has these amazing views.
Speaker 4: You could kind of see how the rich kind of
Speaker 4: lived and this was the family. Like I said earlier,
Speaker 4: mo that they made Malibu. They took the ranches and
Speaker 4: just started, you know, adding architecture and making buildings and
Speaker 4: just expanding.
Speaker 2: I knew about that Adamson House, but I didn't know
Speaker 2: that it had been designated as a National Historic Site
Speaker 2: and a California Historic Landmark and it was managed by
Speaker 2: the State Park System.
Speaker 3: How much I did not know.
Speaker 4: Yes, it is and if you want more information and
Speaker 4: some history about it, you could go to Malibu Adamson
Speaker 4: House dot org. That's Malibu Adamson House dot org. And
Speaker 4: if you're heading towards Malibu and you know, you're just
Speaker 4: on PCH, that's kind of what my friend Kimberly and
Speaker 4: I did. We just took the car and we just
Speaker 4: started driving, and she did make a reservation for the museum,
Speaker 4: and we did have lunch at Jeffrey's in Malibu, which
Speaker 4: is off a PCH, which is also exquisite great food
Speaker 4: reservation only and also great views too, So it's a
Speaker 4: nice day to spend the day in Malibu if you've
Speaker 4: never really kind of just been nosy about it, other
Speaker 4: than going to the beach.
Speaker 2: A good place to go, when you say, a good
Speaker 2: place to go if you just get a chance to
Speaker 2: look at the website. It is a gorgeous, gorgeous scenic
Speaker 2: place where you can look out over the water and
Speaker 2: you're kind of reminded how spoiled we are in southern California.
Speaker 2: You have these opportunities and landmarks to visit, relatively inexpensive
Speaker 2: or free, but they're there for the taking. In more
Speaker 2: time than not, we don't take advantage of them. And
Speaker 2: that's why I enjoy what you're doing here Nauica, to
Speaker 2: remind us of what is available to us and also
Speaker 2: make sure that we take advantage of them.
Speaker 4: Most definitely, most sometimes we don't even go see that,
Speaker 4: Like I said, we don't even go see the things
Speaker 4: that are in our back in our own backyards.
Speaker 5: But right the lagoon is.
Speaker 4: Amazing, The scenic view is beautiful, and you know, I
Speaker 4: stood there, and I stood there in the garden and
Speaker 4: I just kind of meditated for about maybe two to
Speaker 4: three minutes, I had a spiritual conversation, and I was
Speaker 4: just there to listen, to listen what was spoken to me,
Speaker 4: and also to listen to the waves and the birds.
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes you just got to get away from
Speaker 4: the city. You got to go to near the water
Speaker 4: and just kind of, you know, refresh yourself. We kind
Speaker 4: of refocus and you know, just I don't know. And
Speaker 4: Latino culture, it's kind of like a cleanse a beach.
Speaker 4: When you go to the beach, it's it's more of
Speaker 4: a cleansed thing, but it's it's also a spiritual thing,
Speaker 4: but it's also a sense of being grounded and a
Speaker 4: sense of peace. I need to go to the beach more.
Speaker 4: I'm not a water person, but I do. I do
Speaker 4: enjoy the serenity of the beach and the water and
Speaker 4: how calming it is, how relaxing is, and to your point,
Speaker 4: it's a great way to reset, it's a great way
Speaker 4: to recalibrate. And again, we have all of these landmarks
Speaker 4: and museums right under our nose, and we just drive
Speaker 4: by them every single day, all giving them a second
Speaker 4: thought all the time. I know, that's why we have
Speaker 4: to get out and discover Southern California because it has
Speaker 4: so much to all for and I think even in
Speaker 4: our golden years, we maybe get as we get older,
Speaker 4: there are still Nickson crannies that will probably never find.
Speaker 4: But you know, the whole point is to dedicate, you know,
Speaker 4: either a weekend a month or two weekends a month,
Speaker 4: just go, you know what, Let's get in the car.
Speaker 5: Let's you have dogs, Let's take the dogs and let's
Speaker 5: see where. Let's see where you know, our Chevy takes us.
Speaker 4: I don't know what you drive, but I'm just saying,
Speaker 4: you know, see where your car takes you, and just go, oh,
Speaker 4: I didn't even know this was here. You know, you know,
Speaker 4: go to Big Sir, go to Monterey, go to Berkeley,
Speaker 4: go to San Francisco, go to somewhere in San Diego.
Speaker 4: Go to a wine country or or wine you know,
Speaker 4: a vineyard. You just never know. But sometimes it's just
Speaker 4: really about just getting in the car and going.
Speaker 2: I got to correct you. Were you saying like I'm
Speaker 2: old or something where you're talking about golden years. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: I'm going to be forever young. I just want to
Speaker 2: be clear, all right, I do I have a birthday
Speaker 2: coming up, yes, but It's not like I'm going to be,
Speaker 2: you know, marching in the social securities.
Speaker 5: Down, slow down, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I was kind of insulted there for
Speaker 3: a second.
Speaker 5: I would never insult you.
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is, you know, we get caught
Speaker 4: up in life, Mo, and yes we're both still young,
Speaker 4: we're in our prime in our lives, but we get
Speaker 4: caught up in housework and work, and I gotta do this,
Speaker 4: I gotta do that, I gotta do all this other stuff.
Speaker 5: And we never put ourselves first.
Speaker 4: We put everybody else first, and we forget about the
Speaker 4: fun and all the things that Los Angeles and California
Speaker 4: has to offer us.
Speaker 5: And sometimes we just have to go. Get in your
Speaker 5: car and go.
Speaker 3: That is sage advice. Get in your car and go.
Speaker 2: When we come back, we'll have the hidden gym for
Speaker 2: this week for Later with Mo Kelly as we continue
Speaker 2: Friday Nights with Natica de la Cruz.
Speaker 3: So keep it right here.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Caf I AM six Four years Later with Mo Kelly,
Speaker 2: as we continue Friday Nights with Nautica de La cruise, Naica, take.
Speaker 5: It away, Thank you mo. Today's hidden gem is Antonio Loma.
Speaker 5: Antonio Loma grew up in the.
Speaker 4: Modest neighborhood of Los Angeles, where his father worked long
Speaker 4: hours as a construction worker. Every evening, Antonio would watch
Speaker 4: his father come home with his hands rough from a
Speaker 4: day spent laboring with bricks, cement, and wood. What started
Speaker 4: as a way to pass time soon turned into a
Speaker 4: passion for young Antonio. His father would bring home scraps
Speaker 4: of wood from job sites, giving him the challenge of
Speaker 4: transforming the leftover pieces into something new. With each creation,
Speaker 4: be it's a small sculpture, a toy, or a makeshift shelf,
Speaker 4: Antonio found a sense of pride and purpose. His father's
Speaker 4: encouragement to always find the value in the things others
Speaker 4: overlook kind of stuck with him. By the time Antonio
Speaker 4: was a teenager, he had enrolled in a Los Angeles
Speaker 4: trade school. Eager to become an electrician. He saw it
Speaker 4: was a way to carry forward the skills his father
Speaker 4: had taught him, but this time with wires and circuits
Speaker 4: rather than nails and wood. Antonio knew that electricity, like
Speaker 4: the materials his father used had potential to bring something
Speaker 4: to life. His journey took him to sam Bernardino, where
Speaker 4: he now works on a series of major projects that
Speaker 4: not only light up buildings, but also honors his father's
Speaker 4: legacy of craftsmanship and ingenuity. For Antonio, his hands aren't
Speaker 4: just about creating. They are also honoring a family tradition
Speaker 4: of transforming what seems ordinary into something extraordinary. Antonio's story
Speaker 4: aligns with the mission of Rediscovercenter dot org, an organization
Speaker 4: that champions creativity by repurposing discarded materials for educational and
Speaker 4: artistic purposes. Founded by a group of passionate educators and artists,
Speaker 4: the Rediscover Center began as a small community initiative where
Speaker 4: people were encouraged to turn their waste into wonders. What
Speaker 4: started with a few people sharing ideas on upcycling grew
Speaker 4: into a larger movement. The center now provides children and
Speaker 4: adults alike the opportunity to create, explore, and rediscover the
Speaker 4: potential in materials that would otherwise be discarded. Rediscovercenter dot
Speaker 4: org believes in the power of sustainability and education, promoting
Speaker 4: hands on learning with the focus on reusing everyday objects
Speaker 4: to make art. The organization offers workshops, classes, and community
Speaker 4: events where participants are taught to look beyond the surface
Speaker 4: of what is seen as waste.
Speaker 5: Like Antonio's father taught him.
Speaker 4: The Rediscover Center teaches that teaches that creativity has no
Speaker 4: bounds when you learn to see the value where others
Speaker 4: see trash. Their mission is not only to foster creativity,
Speaker 4: but also to build a more sustainable world, one recycled
Speaker 4: masterpiece at a time. Now, for more information on the organization,
Speaker 4: events or how you could donate, I would like you
Speaker 4: to visit Rediscovercenter dot org. That's Rediscovercenter dot org.
Speaker 5: And honestly, mo.
Speaker 4: I think we should all learn to repurpose things or
Speaker 4: recycle and be creative. We buy so much stuff every
Speaker 4: single day. I see Amazon packages delivered in my building
Speaker 4: every single day, and I'm like, oh, another box, more waste,
Speaker 4: more waste.
Speaker 5: We just buy a little bit too much.
Speaker 4: And one of the things I have to say about
Speaker 4: my father, and not only Antonio's father, my father, you know,
Speaker 4: he always tried.
Speaker 5: To repurpose something.
Speaker 4: He would break it apart and go I could use
Speaker 4: this for this, And I think we need to start
Speaker 4: doing that.
Speaker 5: I know I'm one of those.
Speaker 4: People that I could go, oh, I can make this
Speaker 4: out of whatever. But I don't like to buy a
Speaker 4: lot of stuff, and I don't like to throw a
Speaker 4: lot of you know, trash and you know, other than
Speaker 4: the normal waste.
Speaker 5: But it's just I just feel like we're over consuming.
Speaker 5: And I have seen, like.
Speaker 4: There's this one place I can't think of the name
Speaker 4: of it right now, mo, but there's this place in
Speaker 4: Palm Strings of Palm Springs that's like a museum, and
Speaker 4: it's this artist that has repurposed has made statues of metal,
Speaker 4: of bottle caps of aluminum, of wood, of pieces of glass,
Speaker 4: and they take it and they make mosaics out of it.
Speaker 4: It's just absolutely amazing. And I think that's a good
Speaker 4: way to express art.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you touch up upon something because we
Speaker 2: live in a world and obviously our society, which is
Speaker 2: built upon the idea of just having more consumerism, purchasing things,
Speaker 2: you know, and our lives and our happiness at least
Speaker 2: what we think is somehow connected to being able to spend,
Speaker 2: being able to buy, And I think that's part of
Speaker 2: the why so many people are so very unhappy, because
Speaker 2: they measure their own happiness relative to how many physical
Speaker 2: items that they may buy, and that would seem to
Speaker 2: be a more recent phenomenon. That wasn't the case when
Speaker 2: I was growing up. I know it wasn't the case
Speaker 2: when you were growing up. We just have this society
Speaker 2: which is bent upon Okay, I want something and I
Speaker 2: want to have it, and so let me get it
Speaker 2: right now. Click click, click on the computer and it's
Speaker 2: on the way. And that has given us, i would say,
Speaker 2: a distorted view of what's important and what is of value,
Speaker 2: because again, we're always going back to I want it,
Speaker 2: let me buy it, let me get it as soon
Speaker 2: as possible. So you are definitely touching upon something. But
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you before we get out of here. Yes,
Speaker 2: are you going to be joining us next week at
Speaker 2: the Lady with mo Kelly pre Halloween?
Speaker 3: Soare on October thirtieth?
Speaker 4: I gave you my word. Yes, I already have. I
Speaker 4: just need one more thing for my costume and.
Speaker 5: I should I should be good. But yes, I will
Speaker 5: be here on Wednesday.
Speaker 4: So I'm excited to meet your listeners, to meet the team,
Speaker 4: and just to have a good time.
Speaker 5: By the way, is there gonna be alcohol involved? No comment? Okay?
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna sit that on the air. I just
Speaker 3: you try to get me in trouble. It's like Mark
Speaker 3: Hip for the Gate.
Speaker 5: No better, no, no, no, I know it's not going
Speaker 5: to be spiked. I know that.
Speaker 2: Let's just say, there's Morton's right next door, and I
Speaker 2: am not stopping anyone from hanging out at Morton's in
Speaker 2: advance and then walking over.
Speaker 3: That's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 5: That's wonder. Look as long as you have you have water,
Speaker 5: I'm okay.
Speaker 2: Oh we got that. We got that covered a sponsored
Speaker 2: by Wendy's. They have a lot of great food coming
Speaker 2: for us. It's going to be a great evening. And
Speaker 2: I know you have a fantastic listenership and fan base
Speaker 2: who've known you for your many years of radio here
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles. Yes, different stations, I mean just about
Speaker 2: every station, it seems like in LA you know the
Speaker 2: Nica Dela cruise. So if you've never met Nautica, you
Speaker 2: of course you've heard her voice. But if you want
Speaker 2: to meet Naudica, be sure to come out well, assuming
Speaker 2: that you have a past and you can win a
Speaker 2: pass tonight, or you already have a past, I would
Speaker 2: say look forward to meeting Nadica Dea la Cruz.
Speaker 3: She is one of a kind.
Speaker 5: Thank you, mo one. More thing.
Speaker 4: I was on the Schedumatic podcast the pod and I
Speaker 4: mentioned you there and I gave you and Twala some
Speaker 4: love and it is a really long podcast, but it's
Speaker 4: funny and if you want to get to know a
Speaker 4: little bit more about me and my history and my
Speaker 4: history and radio. I talk about Steve Harvey, I talk
Speaker 4: about Big Boy, I talk about you, talk about Chris Little,
Speaker 4: I talk about Tuala and I'm so grateful for you
Speaker 4: and Tuala, and I gave you guys some love too,
Speaker 4: So thank you.
Speaker 3: I appreciate you more than you know.
Speaker 2: I can't wait for Wednesday so we can do this
Speaker 2: as a part of the live show, so I will
Speaker 2: see you then.
Speaker 1: Yes, you're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand
Speaker 1: from KFI AM six.
Speaker 6: Forty one Nature Mark talks about pop culture, ron and
Speaker 6: Report with Mark Ronner.
Speaker 3: Okay, if Later with mo Kelly.
Speaker 2: Now, let's turn it over to Mark Ronner with the
Speaker 2: super Secret Runner Report.
Speaker 7: It's not that secret. Venom three's new in theaters, and
Speaker 7: I'm going to tell you something you've never heard of.
Speaker 7: Critics say, there's no real reason to review it. Oops,
Speaker 7: I had a sound effect there and it didn't work.
Speaker 7: Oh right, radio, Well take that, cis Cel and Ebert. Uh,
Speaker 7: the first Venom was terrible. I skipped the second one
Speaker 7: because the first one was terrible.
Speaker 3: There's some talk about the third one.
Speaker 7: It might be a little bit better, but that's kind
Speaker 7: of like saying a toilet might just be really full
Speaker 7: but not quite overflowing. It's fun to on load on
Speaker 7: bad movies, sure, but drag in my ass to a
Speaker 7: theater to see a bunch of green screen CGI product
Speaker 7: about the annex of a symbiote that looks like someone
Speaker 7: sneezed black licrish into a handkerchief.
Speaker 3: Nope, nope, nope, nope nope. Venom three is.
Speaker 7: Also projected to hoover up sixty five million bucks it's
Speaker 7: opening weekend from people who don't care how lousy it
Speaker 7: might be or what any critic says in related news,
Speaker 7: Nothing matters. Instead, I want to tell you about a
Speaker 7: book now before you change the channel.
Speaker 3: Don't change the channel.
Speaker 7: I know a book reading is hard, but it's a
Speaker 7: special book that took fifty years to get into the world,
Speaker 7: and this release is a real event. It is called
Speaker 7: The Last Dangerous Visions. If you're a cy fine herd,
Speaker 7: this will ring a bell. If not, I'll explain. And
Speaker 7: it's a little personal. I've mentioned before. The writer Harlan
Speaker 7: Ellison was a friend of mine. He died in twenty eighteen,
Speaker 7: and I'm pretty sure that through newspapers, radio and podcasts,
Speaker 7: I interviewed him more than anyone else. The first book
Speaker 7: of his I read as a teenager was like getting
Speaker 7: a bolt shot into my brain from one of those
Speaker 7: cattle guns. Ferociously intelligent guy, compassed it really raw and
Speaker 7: not just unafraid of bullies, but compelled to fight him
Speaker 7: no matter who they were. There was no one else
Speaker 7: like Carlan Ellison. He'd also written some of the most
Speaker 7: famous episodes of The Outer Limits and Star Trek and
Speaker 7: an iteration of the Twilight Zone in the eighties.
Speaker 3: I think so.
Speaker 7: Cub reporter Mark at Little Gannett newspaper in Indiana gets
Speaker 7: Ellison on the phone in the mid nineties and says,
Speaker 7: you made me want to be a writer. And he
Speaker 7: says right away, well see if that's a good or
Speaker 7: a bad thing. Jesus. When I finished the article that
Speaker 7: i'd called him for I sent him two copies of
Speaker 7: it for his records in C two as he specified,
Speaker 7: the full section not clipped, and I included some of
Speaker 7: my newspaper columns. I was nervous the next time we talked,
Speaker 7: but he said, you got Moxie kid, and we became
Speaker 7: friends until he died. There was nothing I wouldn't have
Speaker 7: done for the guy. I never knew my father, and
Speaker 7: it doesn't really take a bunch of brain power to
Speaker 7: do the math on that one. Among our adventures, I
Speaker 7: ran interference for him when the Science Fiction Hall of
Speaker 7: Fame people were trying to induct him in Seattle. He
Speaker 7: hated being ghettoized as justice science fiction, and he walked
Speaker 7: out of interviews with people who called him one. He
Speaker 7: especially hated the term sci fi. Can't tell you what
Speaker 7: he said it sounded like, but it was something dirty.
Speaker 7: But he was pleased to be recognized as one of
Speaker 7: the all time giants of it anyway. The one thing
Speaker 7: I never asked Harlan Ellison about was Dangerous Visions. It
Speaker 7: was a science fiction anthology that he edited, and he
Speaker 7: wrote introductions for it that blew your hair back as
Speaker 7: much as the stories themselves. The first volume had an
Speaker 7: absolutely seismic effect on the science fiction world. It was
Speaker 7: a landmark. It started a new wave, and the second
Speaker 7: volume just as good. But the third one he never
Speaker 7: finished it. People bugged him about it constantly for decades.
Speaker 7: Authors who contributed to it died, they never saw their
Speaker 7: stories published, and I never brought it up. Didn't want
Speaker 7: to set him off. We had plans go hang out
Speaker 7: at tanks, have hot dogs. He was going to show
Speaker 7: me his house in Sherman Oaks, he called Ellis in Wonderland,
Speaker 7: lots of stuff, but he died just before I moved
Speaker 7: here to la I hoped to be some help to
Speaker 7: his widow, Susan, but she died right after I moved here, abruptly,
Speaker 7: really young, and literally as I was composing a letter
Speaker 7: to her. Life has plenty of loose ends, and you
Speaker 7: just got to live with him. But then I find
Speaker 7: out the third Dangerous Visions book is coming out posthumously.
Speaker 7: W T actual F. J. Michael Strazinski, the Babylon five creator,
Speaker 7: got it done. I'm just going to call him JMS.
Speaker 7: He was a friend of Harlan's and for much longer
Speaker 7: than me. Harlan made him as executor, JMS wrote a long,
Speaker 7: novellasized introduction to the Last Dangerous Visions about what happened
Speaker 7: with this book that took fifty years to publish and
Speaker 7: what happened to Harlan. JMS did the same as me.
Speaker 7: He sought out Harlan as a young writer, let Harland
Speaker 7: know what his work meant to him. And there was
Speaker 7: nothing he wouldn't have done for Harlan, and he did.
Speaker 7: I'm reading this book and I'm getting flashbacks to driving
Speaker 7: Harlan and Susan around and my old Mustang finding places
Speaker 7: for us to eat, answering the phone when I'm depressed,
Speaker 7: to hear Harlan in this exaggerated Jewish mom voicing, oh
Speaker 7: you never call, you never write well. JMS had a
Speaker 7: psych education and he figured Harlan had bipolar disorder, which
Speaker 7: led to severe clinical depression and also a death fixation
Speaker 7: from seeing his dad die young and living past that
Speaker 7: age himself. So in this introduction, JMS lists Harlan's bipolar
Speaker 7: system symptoms rather and they include racing thoughts, bouts of
Speaker 7: chronic fatigue, a laundry list of stuff I'm way too
Speaker 7: familiar with myself, and this year I'm as old as
Speaker 7: my mom was when she died very young. Oh crap.
Speaker 7: So let's just say Jms's introduction to The Last Dangerous
Speaker 7: Visions shook me. It's tremendously moving. It made me cry.
Speaker 7: It's a major achievement to get this book out into
Speaker 7: the world. It's on Amazon. Of course, I got it
Speaker 7: from the library on my iPod the instant I found
Speaker 7: out about it. JMS was such a good friend to
Speaker 7: Harlan that he got him to go to therapy. Finally,
Speaker 7: I ain't doing that the couple times I put my
Speaker 7: toe in the water. My biggest breakthrough was that I
Speaker 7: hate talking about my feelings. But reading helps. Reading helps
Speaker 7: check out the Last Dangerous Visions and read some Harlan Ellison.
Speaker 7: Reading is hard, and we'll get back to movies and
Speaker 7: stuff next week. But this is good and it's really special.
Speaker 7: There's your run and report.
Speaker 2: Mo. That was great. Mark, that was great. The stories
Speaker 2: contained great.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 7: I'm sure you've met some of your heroes and have
Speaker 7: stories of your own.
Speaker 2: I do, and sometimes they've disappointed me, and other times
Speaker 2: they've not disappointed me. But I enjoyed how the story
Speaker 2: began decades ago and in decades down the road, and
Speaker 2: you got to see it come to fruition.
Speaker 7: It was such a piece of unfinished business. And my
Speaker 7: mouth was hanging open a lot of the time I
Speaker 7: read this stuff. I knew Harlan for twenty five years,
Speaker 7: maybe something like that. I didn't know this stuff and
Speaker 7: some of this stuff. And by the way, I didn't
Speaker 7: at all ruin the book for anybody by what I revealed.
Speaker 7: There's so much going on. And he was such an
Speaker 7: interesting guy, and there's a lot of him on YouTube
Speaker 7: if you're not familiar with him. He was an extraor
Speaker 7: ordinarily entertaining, smart, just whip smart, articulate guy. So he
Speaker 7: used to be a favorite of Tom Snyder. He was
Speaker 7: on The Tomorrow Show way back in the day. He
Speaker 7: was one of these writers, especially science fiction writers. He
Speaker 7: was a handsome guy. He was good on TV, very clever,
Speaker 7: very funny. He was charming. Everybody wanted to have him
Speaker 7: as a guest, even MERV Griffin, for God's sakes, although
Speaker 7: once they got him on the show, they never knew
Speaker 7: what he was gonna say.
Speaker 3: He was.
Speaker 7: He was a real live wire. There's lots of him
Speaker 7: to discover. He also did a show on the old
Speaker 7: sci Fi Channel, even though, like I said, he hated
Speaker 7: the term sci fi, hated it. He did a show
Speaker 7: call called I think it's called Harlan Ellison's Watching on
Speaker 7: the sci Fi Channel. They're just brilliant little short pieces
Speaker 7: of his commentary on sci fi, pop culture, comic books,
Speaker 7: you name it, and I gotta tell you this. You
Speaker 7: made me remember something back when Isaac asv died. Remember
Speaker 7: Isaac Asimov absolutely also one of the great suits in
Speaker 7: the science fiction Hall of Fame. I was away at
Speaker 7: college and I didn't have TV or cable or anything
Speaker 7: like that. Harlan did a very emotional eulogy for Isaac
Speaker 7: Asimov on his show. I had my mom long distance
Speaker 7: on the phone, hold the phone up to the TV
Speaker 7: so I could hear this thing, and it brought me
Speaker 7: to tears way back then too. If you don't know
Speaker 7: this author, Harlan Ellison, you're really in for a treat.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: I need to go back and listen to this again,
Speaker 2: because I think that was one of your best run
Speaker 2: of reports ever because it was personal.
Speaker 3: If you had personal anecdotes.
Speaker 7: He meant a lot to me, and I think he
Speaker 7: meant a lot to a lot of people. And I
Speaker 7: think this book is going to be really special to
Speaker 7: a lot of people as well.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: The countdown is on to Wednesdays Later with mo Kelly
Speaker 2: pre Halloween, Sara. And if you have already gotten your

Speaker 8: I know there's this thing going on as Game one
Speaker 8: of the World Series, and a lot of people are excited.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of traffic for it today and all that.
Speaker 8: I just want to make sure later with mo Kelly
Speaker 8: listeners know that there is that much hype for this
Speaker 8: party and more.
Speaker 2: Actually, there's going to be great food compliments of Wendy's,
Speaker 2: and we will have all sorts of spreads for you.
Speaker 3: You're gonna be well fed. Put it that way.
Speaker 2: You're gonna be well fed, and you're gonna be well entertained.
Speaker 2: We have a couple more surprises which are coming your way,
Speaker 2: and we're trying to lock down. But this is for you,
Speaker 2: the people who've supported us from the beginning. It's all
Speaker 2: about you. You've turned this show into something special and
Speaker 2: the least we could do is show you some love
Speaker 2: and return. I tell you this, and I don't know
Speaker 2: if I said this before the very first time we
Speaker 2: played name that movie called Classic it was a throwaway thing.
Speaker 2: I knew that I wanted to do some sort of game.
Speaker 2: I knew that it may have something to do with
Speaker 2: TV or movies. He would have something to do with entertainment.
Speaker 2: So I just pulled ten clips from some movies and
Speaker 2: I said, well, we'll see if it sticks. And it's stuck.
Speaker 2: And it's been so very popular since that very first week,
Speaker 2: almost two years ago at this point and because of you,
Speaker 2: we're able to do this. I took Mark Runner and
Speaker 2: stepping up to the space the helpful Honda Studios because
Speaker 2: they hadn't seen it how it was going to be
Speaker 2: laid out, where people are going to be, Oh, you
Speaker 2: guys are in for a treat, a real treat. We're
Speaker 2: going to have the whole cast there from our commentators.
Speaker 2: Marsha Collier is going to be joining us, not de
Speaker 2: la Cruz is going to be joining us, Jackie Ray
Speaker 2: is going to be joining us.
Speaker 3: Who have I forgotten? And the nice exercise, Lady Clark,
Speaker 3: A nice exercise, lady. I love that. That is too funny,
Speaker 3: Mark Runner.
Speaker 7: Where is the human sacrifice going to be held?
Speaker 3: That's going to be our three hour three, That's where
Speaker 3: the blood letting will get.
Speaker 2: Hey, you don't want to lead with that, No, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: you have to work your way up to the human sacrifice.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: You have to leave them wanting more and you can't
Speaker 2: do it. Look, we get it in the first hour.
Speaker 2: You know it's all downhill after that. Now you're pro
Speaker 2: I should have trusted your judgment on this.
Speaker 8: Now when they see us setting up to pull hearts out,
Speaker 8: then Mark, then get ready for the real party.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna warm up by watching Indiana Jones and The
Speaker 7: Temple of Doom.
Speaker 3: I think. Okay, now I can promise you. I can
Speaker 3: promise you.
Speaker 2: I can assure you that there won't be any signals
Speaker 2: saying okay, now it's time for the freak off.
Speaker 3: We won't be doing any of that. Okay, I know
Speaker 3: there will be no baby boyl upstairs. It's not allowed.
Speaker 3: They have already let us know.
Speaker 8: No, you cannot have any pink cocaine or baboil.
Speaker 3: We thought we.
Speaker 7: Could, but you know what are all these suspicious boxes
Speaker 7: around the studio that say oil.
Speaker 2: No, don't give it away, don't give it away. But
Speaker 2: to be serious, we're gonna have so much food. And
Speaker 2: I want to warn you in advance. You want to
Speaker 2: get there a little early because you'll want to eat
Speaker 2: in advance because food will not be allowed in the
Speaker 2: helpful Honda Studios. We will have an overflow area where
Speaker 2: you'll be able to hear and see the show, but
Speaker 2: if you want to be in the actual studio area,
Speaker 2: you can't bring food in there, so you may want
Speaker 2: to get there early enough to get some of your
Speaker 2: great grub on We're gonna have Wendy's making hamburgers on site,
Speaker 2: made to order, and some other great treat We learned
Speaker 2: that last night.
Speaker 3: That's so cool.
Speaker 2: Just you know, if you haven't seen the space before,
Speaker 2: we have an upstairs deck patio, plenty of room to
Speaker 2: sit outside. Now it may be a little cool at
Speaker 2: that time of night, so depending on your costume, you
Speaker 2: may want to have some sort of of jacket or covering,
Speaker 2: but there'll be plenty places for you to lounge, relax
Speaker 2: and enjoy the moment. If you've never been to the
Speaker 2: iHeartMedia Studios, it's a nice little place. It's really well
Speaker 2: done and you'll get a full tour of the facility
Speaker 2: after the show. We'll take you around so you can
Speaker 2: see all the different radio stations, including a five seventy
Speaker 2: our partner station at LA Sports, the Dodgers, station, and
Speaker 2: I know they're going crazy right now because of the
Speaker 2: Dodgers with that dramatic walk off Grand Slam home run
Speaker 2: to win Game one by Freddie Freeman.
Speaker 3: And I can't say it enough.
Speaker 2: Look, we knew that something historic was going to happen
Speaker 2: in the series. I didn't know it was going to
Speaker 2: be Game one in such dramatic fashion. And if you're
Speaker 2: a student of Dodger history, the most consequential and that
Speaker 2: maybe I would even say famous home run in Dodger
Speaker 2: history is the Kirk Gibson home run in Game one
Speaker 2: against the Oakland A's back in nineteen eighty eight to
Speaker 2: win Game one. In fact, you can go back find
Speaker 2: the video and audio of it on YouTube. And when
Speaker 2: you see the video, you will see people in the
Speaker 2: parking lot, the red lights of cars driving away because
Speaker 2: people wanted to beat the traffic.
Speaker 3: And tonight, I wouldn't blame you, because the traffic everywhere.
Speaker 2: People wanted to beat the traffic and missed seeing the
Speaker 2: World Series home run in person. I wonder if something
Speaker 2: similar happened tonight, because this home run tonight rivals that,
Speaker 2: and you will see the direct comparison again and again
Speaker 2: and again between the Kirk Gibson home run of nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty eight and the Freddie Freeman home run of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four.
Speaker 3: And here's why if you didn't know. Kirk Gibson only
Speaker 3: had that wonted bat in the nineteen eighty eight series.
Speaker 3: He had been hobbled by injuries. He couldn't barely move.
Speaker 2: He was brought in as a pinch hitter to maybe
Speaker 2: catch lightning in a bottle, and they did. Freddie Freeman
Speaker 2: has been hobbled this whole playoff run with a bad ankle.
Speaker 2: He really can't run at all, but he can still
Speaker 2: swing the stick. And it was almost kind of it
Speaker 2: was surreal because it was so reminiscent of that Kurt
Speaker 2: Gibson home run.
Speaker 3: They're both left handers.
Speaker 2: It was obviously the last of battles, a walk off
Speaker 2: home run in Game one. Hopefully this series will in
Speaker 2: the same way that it did in nineteen eighty eight
Speaker 2: with the Dodgers winning. But I'll tell you one last time,
Speaker 2: if you're not watching this series, you are missing out
Speaker 2: on history.
