Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: And it's time to find out what is going on.
Speaker 2: What's up with Nick Poliochini who joins me in the studio.
Speaker 3: Nick is good to see you again. So you on Saturday.
Speaker 3: I got to see you on Saturday.
Speaker 4: And if you have not tuned in to Later with
Speaker 4: mo Kelly tonight, I found out that I'm a condiment
Speaker 4: according to real Mark Ronner. So you have to make
Speaker 4: sure that you check out the podcast so you catch that.
Speaker 4: So people put you on hot dogs, you can put
Speaker 4: me on hot dogs. You can put me on toast.
Speaker 4: You can spread mews to that one.
Speaker 3: That's your own business, all right.
Speaker 4: So going to Saturday hop Keto Invitational was incredible. So
Speaker 4: is the SoCal hop Keto Invitational. The first one. I
Speaker 4: have never experienced hapkto before. I have seen karate like
Speaker 4: you were talking about with the Karate kid before, never
Speaker 4: seen hot keto. Absolutely an incredible experience. If you have
Speaker 4: not seen a I don't know exhibition, a.
Speaker 3: Confistration turn it. But it was even cooler.
Speaker 4: On top of it was then because now real quick,
Speaker 4: just to pull back shirt. Hopketo is based in Korean
Speaker 4: culture correct, correct, as opposed to U karate is Japanese correct, Okay,
Speaker 4: I just want to make sure everybody understands that. So
Speaker 4: we saw an exhibition from a group of incredible young
Speaker 4: people that was showing some of the arts and the
Speaker 4: performing culture of Hapkto as well, I'm sorry of the
Speaker 4: Korean culture as well.
Speaker 3: That was Cape, a Korean American youth performing artists.
Speaker 4: So it was well worth the five dollars when we
Speaker 4: talked about it last week. You got to see Mokelly,
Speaker 4: who did not get to see much of it himself,
Speaker 4: only orchestrating, m seeing, refing, you name it. He was
Speaker 4: calling the shots. It was incredible, but it was so
Speaker 4: much fun. So thank you again for having me out.
Speaker 4: But it was a great opportunity again one of those
Speaker 4: last call, not quite free ninety nine, but five bucks
Speaker 4: to see an incredible Pilar shows. It was a real
Speaker 4: show and it was really really impressive from the eighty
Speaker 4: bitty mini little teeny tiny little guys and girls all
Speaker 4: the way up through.
Speaker 2: You know, and the black were kicking assames.
Speaker 4: They really were, and especially some of the exhibitions with
Speaker 4: the knives and the difference.
Speaker 2: Knives gun defense. I'm thinking in short stick defense, right.
Speaker 2: I saw it was really really good. So anyway, that
Speaker 2: was incredible. Good to be here.
Speaker 4: What I want to talk about is what's happening for
Speaker 4: me tomorrow and Friday and Saturday here in the Southlands
Speaker 4: and tomorrow. If you happen to be going to Disneyland,
Speaker 4: you can be a part of this as well. So
Speaker 4: this is something that Gary Hoffman from the Gary and
Speaker 4: Shannon Show here on KF and I are very much into.
Speaker 4: And it is the Savannah Bananas, which is banana Ball
Speaker 4: out of Georgia, and they are actually going to be
Speaker 4: doing Savannah Banana Days at Disneyland. So if you're not
Speaker 4: familiar with the origin of Banana Ball and Savannah Bananas.
Speaker 4: Back in twenty fifteen, Minor League baseball left Savannah, Georgia,
Speaker 4: and after ninety years leading Grayson Stadium without a team,
Speaker 4: Jesse Cole and his wife Emily arrived with the ambitious
Speaker 4: goal of making baseball fun again and reviving the stadium spirit.
Speaker 3: Long story short, it is.
Speaker 4: This absolutely incredible two hour limit game that has a
Speaker 4: very strict set of roles. No stepping out of the
Speaker 4: batter's box, no bunting, doing so actually gets you ejected from.
Speaker 3: The game, so we't showing it right now on you.
Speaker 4: Yes, if you want to see a new act factor,
Speaker 4: you can actually see Mickey Mouse and Jesse right now.
Speaker 4: The man in the yellow tuxedo. He very much reminds
Speaker 4: me of Curious George and the Man in the yellow hat.
Speaker 4: But this is a slightly dressed up version. But yeah,
Speaker 4: this is something that is so unique. And so it
Speaker 4: is four teams in the Banana Ball League currently. It
Speaker 4: started out with Savannah Bananas and their arch rivals, the
Speaker 4: Party Animals. Also they have added the Firefighters and the
Speaker 4: Tailgaters to it. Allegedly, all four teams in Banana Ball
Speaker 4: will be at Disneyland tomorrow and I will be finding
Speaker 4: it out because I will be leaving here getting a
Speaker 4: nap as I was just talking about with stuff fush
Speaker 4: and getting up at five am and over to the
Speaker 4: Disneyland resort to enjoy a lot of that. But if
Speaker 4: you have not seen the Savannah Bananas or the Party Animals,
Speaker 4: or the firefighters or the Tailgaters, then you've been living
Speaker 4: under rock. Because this is the for me, the epitome
Speaker 4: of what baseball is meant to be. This is America's pastime,
Speaker 4: and these are incredibly talented athletes, predominantly men, but they're
Speaker 4: also gone co ed in the last couple of years,
Speaker 4: since twenty fifteen, so there are quite a few really
Speaker 4: talented former Olympian women from the women's softball team they
Speaker 4: also are playing. So it's a really really fun thing.
Speaker 4: But I've never I mean, tickets are only forty bucks
Speaker 4: per seats and I'm going to bed and even if
Speaker 4: you wanted the high end version, seventy five dollars. And
Speaker 4: they're going to be performing here performing what am I saying?
Speaker 4: Playing at Anaheim Stadium, so Angel Stadium over in Anaheim,
Speaker 4: and then they will be back in September and they'll
Speaker 4: be down at Petco Park in San Diego.
Speaker 3: So those are the two local ones.
Speaker 4: But last season Gary Hoffman even found tickets for one
Speaker 4: of the resailers and literally hopped on a plane and
Speaker 4: flew up to either Sacramento or Santa Clair. I don't
Speaker 4: remember where they were performing or playing. It is kind
Speaker 4: of a performance. That's why I'm getting it a little
Speaker 4: bit tongue tig here, because these guys sing, they dance,
Speaker 4: they perform, and they're incredible athletes you've got right now,
Speaker 4: one of the players is actually on stilts. If you're
Speaker 4: watching YouTube right now, you can see exactly how fit
Speaker 4: these guys are. So if you're into that kind of thing,
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'll look in the chat in a minute.
Speaker 4: But these guys really put it out there, and they're
Speaker 4: equally as talented as major League baseball players, if not.
Speaker 3: I used to have abs like that. I have no
Speaker 3: doubt my minds that see.
Speaker 2: I tell you it was nineteen ninety It was when
Speaker 2: I tested for my black belt to tile this together,
Speaker 2: So it was nine twenty seven, ninety seven.
Speaker 3: That's what I last had a six pack, and that
Speaker 3: was the initial because your fifth degree? Correct?
Speaker 4: So was that at fifth degree or is that your
Speaker 4: original black Yeah, but you think that your fifth degree?
Speaker 3: Now that's wild.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's been a lot of injuries and workouts in return,
Speaker 2: but you know, flowing down in my old age on.
Speaker 3: You know, you're compared to some of the other people
Speaker 3: in this building, you look fantastic. I appreciate it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's hard to get out of the bed and more
Speaker 3: I'm not sure no, I feel that.
Speaker 4: But so anyway, if you want to see any of
Speaker 4: this fun and excitement going down at Disneyland. If you're
Speaker 4: not already have a reservation, there are still tickets available
Speaker 4: if you're going to Disneyland. Uh, the game on Friday
Speaker 4: and Saturday are both sold out, so you might be
Speaker 4: able to find some resale tickets sold They sold out
Speaker 4: just like you were talking, like in minutes. So this
Speaker 4: is such a popular thing, and I think it really
Speaker 4: That's why I say it really is the best representation
Speaker 4: of quote unquote America's favorite pastime, baseball, because they play
Speaker 4: their hearts out, but they're also so versatile in the
Speaker 4: creativity that goes into it. So it's it's something that's
Speaker 4: very unique and different. If you want to see all
Speaker 4: the fun and excitement going down to Disneyland or this
Speaker 4: Friday and Saturday over at Anaheim Stadium, always check out
Speaker 4: Nick Pouliochanni and this weekend with Nick on Instagram.
Speaker 3: And this has gotten Oh my goodness, no, it's wild,
Speaker 3: Like it is one hundred percent well worth checking out.
Speaker 2: I can't you couldn't pay me to get on stills
Speaker 2: and then try to swing a bat and hit a
Speaker 2: ball and run down the baselines.
Speaker 4: Well, the funniest part is so this and I don't.
Speaker 4: I apologize. I do not remember this player's name, but
Speaker 4: I do remember his story. Look on YouTube. He went
Speaker 4: and try it out, just like you would any type
Speaker 4: of baseball, any type of sports. He tried out for
Speaker 4: the team and he was solid, but he wasn't great.
Speaker 4: He didn't shine, and they asked, well, do you have
Speaker 4: any special traits? He goes walk on stilts and they said, well,
Speaker 4: can you hit a ball on stilts? And he said,
Speaker 4: I don't know, let's try it. So they literally and
Speaker 4: that's his claim to fame. And so now he literally
Speaker 4: is with the Savannah Bananas, travels all around the country.
Speaker 4: And this, to me, the easiest description that I haven't
Speaker 4: hit on yet. If you love the Harlem Globe Trotters,
Speaker 4: which are an incredible ambassador team for basketball, this would
Speaker 4: be baseball's version of the Harlem Globetrotters. The difference is
Speaker 4: Harlem Globetrotters is one team that takes on other teams.
Speaker 3: No, they take on the Washington Generals. That's it.
Speaker 2: Okay, don't ask me how I know that they play
Speaker 2: the Washington No.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 4: So anyway, long story long, Yes, you can check these
Speaker 4: guys out They're incredible. Both Savannah Bananas, the party animals,
Speaker 4: the firefighters and the tailgaters will all be there. I
Speaker 4: love it, even to the point that they're cheerleaders. They
Speaker 4: have the Banana Mamas, which are all I believe, over
Speaker 4: forty women, hey, and then they have the age group
Speaker 4: the man Bannas is the males, and let me tell
Speaker 4: you these are Dad bought extraordinary, So all of it's
Speaker 4: worth checking out again Nick polio'channy this weekend with Nick
Speaker 4: on social media, and then you can also see them
Speaker 4: Savannah Bananas, Party Animals, the whole nine on social media
Speaker 4: and you can find out the Lincoln bio at Nick
Speaker 4: poleio'channy This weekend with Nick.
Speaker 3: It's later with Moll Kelly.
Speaker 2: We'll have more with Nick poulio'channi is as far as
Speaker 2: what's up with Nick in just a moment, we're live
Speaker 2: on YouTube and I can't stress this enough because the
Speaker 2: show is growing by leaps and bounds. If you can
Speaker 2: see if Nick is talking about it, then Daniel is
Speaker 2: showing you it instantaneously, instantaneously, so you don't have to
Speaker 2: wonder about it, you don't have to rush to some
Speaker 2: other link to find it. Just come to YouTube at
Speaker 2: mister mo Kelly lock us in subscribe like and it
Speaker 2: makes it easier for you to join the party each
Speaker 2: and every night. It's off the chain in the Motown Chat.
Speaker 2: Motown is where we live, evidently.
Speaker 3: In Motown.
Speaker 2: Yes, I love this, and you can watch the show
Speaker 2: as we talk about it. It's not abstract, it's in
Speaker 2: real time and it's live on YouTube.
Speaker 3: We'll do it live. We're doing it live.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: kf I a M six forty.
Speaker 5: What's for You What.
Speaker 2: Kf I YouTube, Instagram and the I Heart Radio app.
Speaker 2: It's Later with mo Kelly and I'm continue to be
Speaker 2: joined in studio by Nick Poliochini.
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 4: Nick?
Speaker 3: What's up? Brother?
Speaker 4: Let's go to San Diego, which I know that so
Speaker 4: many people in the chat enjoy when I talk about
Speaker 4: San Diego, Orange County, the INLN Empire. I have got
Speaker 4: a handful of those things available for you right now.
Speaker 4: But the San Diego Zoosa Bary Park, that's where I
Speaker 4: took my mom and my nieces this past Sunday for
Speaker 4: Memorial Day holiday weekend. And it was incredible and I
Speaker 4: had not been there since it used to be called
Speaker 4: the Wild Animal Parkark.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now you're going back to regen what.
Speaker 4: I was saying, like, that's how we grew up. So
Speaker 4: you had the San Diego Zoo and you had the
Speaker 4: San Diego Wild Animal Park, which are both the same company,
Speaker 4: both the same family. But a number of years ago
Speaker 4: they rebranded the San Diego Zoosa Bary Park in Escondido,
Speaker 4: so North County, San Diego out the fifteen to the
Speaker 4: Spari Park. And it is legitimately that you get so
Speaker 4: many opportunities to be able to check out all of
Speaker 4: these animals in a very open environment. So while there
Speaker 4: is a protection and barriers, you can see if you're
Speaker 4: following us on YouTube right now at mister mo Kelly,
Speaker 4: you can see there's a between you and the animals
Speaker 4: here they get to roam free. And the thing is
Speaker 4: the vast majority, if not every single one of the animals,
Speaker 4: other than being born in captivity, are all rescues. And
Speaker 4: I think that's the biggest thing that's really important is
Speaker 4: to hammer home is this isn't people going out and
Speaker 4: poaching animals. It's just you know, the same idea with
Speaker 4: SeaWorld these days, they're not going out and getting new animals.
Speaker 4: They're taking animals in that are rescues. They're taking animals
Speaker 4: in that need to be taken care of a lot
Speaker 4: of times. It's been a good number of years, but
Speaker 4: there was even a period of time for the Wild
Speaker 4: Animal Parks, specifically before becoming Safari Park, that they were
Speaker 4: actually taking retired Hollywood actors quote unquote animals, you know,
Speaker 4: four legged Hollywood actors, and they were being able to
Speaker 4: retire there. So if you have not gone, it's really
Speaker 4: good now. I was able to get seventy six dollars,
Speaker 4: got me season passes for my nieces and they are
Speaker 4: six and nine.
Speaker 3: But even for me, it was.
Speaker 4: Only it was it was less for me to take
Speaker 4: my nieces and my mother and myself and go there
Speaker 4: than to go to any of the local theme parks
Speaker 4: to us here, and we got to go on the
Speaker 4: African Tram, which takes you through the back area in Savannah.
Speaker 4: I would say, if you're looking for something new, fun
Speaker 4: and different to do for summer, since we're almost there.
Speaker 4: I mean we literally came out of a Memorial Day,
Speaker 4: which is the unofficial holiday like beginning. This is a
Speaker 4: great opportunity for you to go check out because it's
Speaker 4: both fun and educational.
Speaker 2: I would want to go again because obviously haven't been
Speaker 2: since I was a child. Sure, honestly I wouldn't remember it.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't recognize any of it. But as we look
Speaker 2: at it on YouTube, it looks like a completely different
Speaker 2: experience than anything I remember hundred percent.
Speaker 4: And I think the thing too, especially because both of
Speaker 4: my nieces are very into animals. Haley, my eldest that's nine,
Speaker 4: she wants to get into equine so she wants to
Speaker 4: take care of it horses specifically. And then Ella, who's
Speaker 4: my six year old, she specifically is more into the
Speaker 4: smaller animals. She was in Heaven with all the small
Speaker 4: wild cats because she loves cats in general, domesticated cats collective.
Speaker 4: That's but yeah, So I agree with you, having not
Speaker 4: been since I was a kid, and going through and
Speaker 4: not just experiencing it again for the first time myself
Speaker 4: with the new Safari Park and everything else, but then
Speaker 4: taking the younger generation and watching it through their eyes.
Speaker 4: I have some incredible memories that were made, so it's
Speaker 4: definitely like that insight out from Disney.
Speaker 3: It's the core memories that are being made.
Speaker 4: There a couple other things that are coming up this
Speaker 4: week and this weekend in the Southland one of my favorites,
Speaker 4: which unfortunately because I will be dedicating my time to
Speaker 4: the Savannah Bananas. If you didn't catch that part, be
Speaker 4: sure to check out the podcast. You should definitely tune
Speaker 4: into later the Low Kelly nine o'clock on Tuesdays when
Speaker 4: I get to join the team.
Speaker 3: But and we have the YouTube podcast.
Speaker 4: You have the YouTube so you can see the video
Speaker 4: component of it too, which is great. But Monster Palooza
Speaker 4: is going off this weekend at the Passing and Convention Center.
Speaker 4: This is one of the many events that I talk
Speaker 4: about because my birthday is Halloween and I'm a big
Speaker 4: fan of Halloween, horror and Haunt. But Monster Palooza, what
Speaker 4: is even cooler is it's the art of monsters and
Speaker 4: movie magic, so it's not just scary things. You actually
Speaker 4: get to see some of these incredible industrial light and
Speaker 4: magic which used to be part of Lucas Limited. They
Speaker 4: always represented there, even the New Iterations and a lot
Speaker 4: of the incredibly talented makeup artists that are from that
Speaker 4: do show up at this event. So that's well worth
Speaker 4: your time to check it out. Relatively and expensive and
Speaker 4: it is so incredible, especially if you're looking for something.
Speaker 4: This year, they'll be offering the famous Monster Poluzat Museum,
Speaker 4: which is going to be featuring a lot of different
Speaker 4: private collections of so people who have been in film
Speaker 4: or television and they have some of these really epic
Speaker 4: masks and everything else. These people are opening up their
Speaker 4: homes and letting the collections go to the special museum.
Speaker 4: That'll be at Monster Pluza that's in Pasadena at the
Speaker 4: Convention Center, And you can still get tickets. Also, we're
Speaker 4: coming up on Pride Month, so that is just around
Speaker 4: the corner. Out Loud Music Festival.
Speaker 3: We hope.
Speaker 4: Pride is happening this weekend at West Hollywood Park And
Speaker 4: what this has become more than anything, is a music festival,
Speaker 4: a mini version of Coachella. So Saturday it'll be Lizo,
Speaker 4: kempetra Uh and a lot of other headliners, and then
Speaker 4: on Sunday you've got Remy Wolf, Honey de Jon, and
Speaker 4: Paris Hilton. If you're into it, even Rebecca Black will
Speaker 4: be there from ants Friday Friday.
Speaker 3: Paris was just here a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, that's what I was saying, Like, so
Speaker 4: all of this stuff these are going down in West
Speaker 4: Hollywood Park or at West Hollywood Park for the Out
Speaker 4: Loud Music Festival. And then if you're looking for something
Speaker 4: in the Inland Empire, and I'm kind of excited that
Speaker 4: I might try to figure out how to get out there,
Speaker 4: even though I've got so much going on this week.
Speaker 4: The Beaumont Cherry Festival. Never even heard of it until
Speaker 4: I was doing a little bit of homework, but it
Speaker 4: starts Thursday, runs through Sunday, and it's at Noble Creek
Speaker 4: Regional Park out in Beaumont. So Beaumont is pretty much
Speaker 4: where the ten and the sixty come together in the
Speaker 4: Inland park is that it is Sanbardino County, Correct County, Okay, right,
Speaker 4: so Sambardino County, but it's heading out toward Cavazon. So
Speaker 4: if you have ever been to any of the KFI
Speaker 4: Casino Marongo events, it's closer than that, but you'll be
Speaker 4: able to. Family Night is on a Thursday, and so
Speaker 4: that is from five until nine pm. Friday is from
Speaker 4: five to eleven, Saturday at noon to eleven, and Sunday
Speaker 4: from noon to nine again it's in the Ie, so
Speaker 4: it's a little warm. It's gonna beautiful weekend, but the
Speaker 4: Inland Empire definitely a little bit hotter. The coolest thing
Speaker 4: that I saw and I love. If you're familiar, one
Speaker 4: of the stations I worked with was ca Cal ninety
Speaker 4: six seven k Cal rocks in the Inland Empire, and
Speaker 4: I was a part of Stu Tupinian Gjimbo their morning show,
Speaker 4: and we got a lot of different artists because we
Speaker 4: used to do the ke Cal Caegers and Red Hot
Speaker 4: Cholo Peppers. We're one of the artists, so think of
Speaker 4: Red Hot Peppers, so think of the Red Hot Chili
Speaker 4: Peppers catalog with a Cholo spin. It's an incredible thing
Speaker 4: to see. So that's going on on Thursday. You've got
Speaker 4: all sorts of different music acts. Eighties Ladies, a female
Speaker 4: cover band of eighties music is on Saturday. You've got
Speaker 4: a Swift Nation, so a cover band for Taylor Swift
Speaker 4: is on Sunday, and so much more. So you can
Speaker 4: get details of this and everything else checking out the
Speaker 4: Lincoln Bio at Nick Pouliocane This week I'm a Nick
Speaker 4: on social media. You can also check the show notes
Speaker 4: here for either the YouTube podcast or for the audio

Speaker 4: I like finding out different areas for San Diego, Orange County,
Speaker 4: Riverside County, San Renino County, ventor you name it. I've
Speaker 4: smoking a test cover a lot of ground.
Speaker 3: Yes you do.
Speaker 4: And it was great seeing you this Saturday. It was
Speaker 4: so much fun. Thank you again, and I really had
Speaker 4: a great time. Because supporting the local community is something
Speaker 4: that we all kind of It got a little rough
Speaker 4: around twenty twenty when we had a pandemic and it
Speaker 4: was kind of odd. So getting out there and being
Speaker 4: a part of the community is so much more important.
Speaker 4: I think that's why I was so excited to sit
Speaker 4: there with the moms and dads watching their kids compete
Speaker 4: or having exhibition game.
Speaker 3: It was amazing and those kids.
Speaker 4: Be they the little itty bitties or up through the
Speaker 4: twenty somethings, were so incredibly talented. So it really is
Speaker 4: well worth. It a very different and unique way to
Speaker 4: spend my Saturday.
Speaker 3: So hope to do it again next year. But I
Speaker 3: hope to see you again very soon. Oh absolutely, you'll
Speaker 3: see me plenty.
