WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:04.320 You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from 2 00:00:04.400 --> 00:00:06.160 KFI AM six forty. 3 00:00:06.080 --> 00:00:08.439 Joining us in studio as friend of the show and 4 00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:12.080 my brother from another mother. Say, say, Nick Poliochini, what 5 00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:12.560 is up? 6 00:00:12.640 --> 00:00:12.839 Nick? 7 00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:14.919 It is so good to be back with you. And 8 00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:16.760 I can't even believe, and I'm going to do the 9 00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.480 cliched thing. I can't believe we're already into February because 10 00:00:19.519 --> 00:00:21.960 it already feels like we have lived through a year to. 11 00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:24.399 The point I can believe and appreciative that we are 12 00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.519 in February because January could not end soon enough. 13 00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:29.920 Yeah, exactly. So I'm glad that we're finally here. But 14 00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:31.679 it's good to be here and thank you for having me. 15 00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:33.399 But I just want to do you want to just 16 00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:34.000 jump into it? 17 00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:34.880 Okay? 18 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:36.399 So I want to talk about something I actually did 19 00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:38.200 last week and it's something that's really cool that I 20 00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:40.960 think we'll be exciting because it comes up here in 21 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:42.399 the next couple of months. So I was at the 22 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.799 Pasadena Showcase House for the Arts, and this was something 23 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:49.159 that has the sixtieth anniversary this year, and this is 24 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.000 something that's very unique and different because it is a 25 00:00:52.039 --> 00:00:56.640 fundraiser for diverse arts programs within the schools in the 26 00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:59.520 Altadena and the Pasadena and everything else. So it's very 27 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.320 interesting because it was supposed to happen. We did an 28 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.959 empty house party, so it's this big, beautiful home in 29 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:09.959 Pasadena and all these incredible designers come together and decorate it, 30 00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:11.159 and then you get to go through it and you 31 00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.120 get to meet the designers and you figure out their process, 32 00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.439 which in the world that we're living in right now, 33 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.760 it kind of helps. It was really interesting to talk 34 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:19.439 to me because a lot of them are very local, 35 00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:22.359 live in the SGV, the San Gabriel Valley area, and 36 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:25.640 so they're very affected by the ETN fire and everything 37 00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.799 else that happened. So but also the amount of money, 38 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:31.920 I mean the millions of dollars that have been raised 39 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:36.200 by the Showcase House of Design. So this will be 40 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.359 the sixtieth anniversary and so far it's twenty six million 41 00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.280 dollars contributed to the arts within the San Gabriel Valley area. 42 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.079 So this year is going to be very very different 43 00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.239 because they're also working with cal Fire, and they're also 44 00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:52.599 working with the Eaton Fire and trying to help people 45 00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:54.760 that are trying to figure out and navigate people getting 46 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:57.319 back into their homes and however that all plays out. 47 00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:59.640 But being able to go and tear through this big, 48 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:03.799 beautifle home that was torn down to pretty much the 49 00:02:03.840 --> 00:02:07.239 studs and getting ready for it to come in is 50 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.560 so different and unique because for me, I'm not that guy. 51 00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.800 I'm not that designer guy. So to be able to 52 00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:18.000 experience it in person and being able to talk to 53 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.439 people and kind of get their process for it, but 54 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:24.599 also to have this unusual weight that kind of was 55 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:27.199 overshadowing the whole event because it was supposed to happen 56 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:29.879 literally the week that the fires broke out, and so 57 00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.120 then for it to transition into this is so unique. 58 00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.759 But to see and be able to talk to these designers, 59 00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.280 some of them very very young, and that are up 60 00:02:37.280 --> 00:02:40.520 and coming, working with different architecture firms and everything here 61 00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:42.680 in the Southland and really being able to do it. 62 00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:44.879 So this is just one of the many things that 63 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.000 you can check out. You can always follow me on 64 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.919 social media. Nick pouliyo'keanney this weekend and Nick. Details for 65 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.360 it are at the Lincoln Bio. But that one was 66 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:56.280 so different because, as we talked about, and we've talked 67 00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.919 about a few times, having been over the Palisades with 68 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.759 fires and volunteering, and then now being back into the 69 00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:06.080 San Marino Altadena Pasadena area. 70 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:06.599 The whole thing. 71 00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:11.120 It's so interesting to be in the environment, even if 72 00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.840 you're not directly in the area where the fire was affected, 73 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:18.159 It's affected everybody, and it doesn't matter if we're talking 74 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:21.240 about the bougie world of San Marino and South Past 75 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:24.280 and everything else. It has genuinely affected everybody. And so 76 00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.159 to be an event where it was really kind of 77 00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.159 a celebration, I mean, it's their sixtieth anniversary anyway of 78 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:34.639 raising so much money for the kids, but it was 79 00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:36.400 specific to being able to talk to a lot of 80 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.319 people who lost a lot or knew people who lost 81 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:41.319 a lot, So it was very, very different. But anyway, 82 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:44.879 that was the empty house party, and I've got some 83 00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:47.080 pictures on social media that you can check out. It's 84 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.280 pretty wild. It's a beautiful home. But I'll be also 85 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:53.280 passing along details as time progresses about how you can 86 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.080 check it out when it's all decked out and has 87 00:03:55.159 --> 00:03:58.120 all those designers and all the fun and excitement for it. 88 00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.560 It's different, it's unique, it's something special. It is not 89 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:04.439 free ninety nine but all the money I know. But 90 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:06.039 I'll get to the free ninety nine stuff there in 91 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:09.759 a bit. But it's something where the money is going 92 00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:11.479 to a cause and you get to see it, because 93 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:13.520 that's I think the thing that we don't experience a 94 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.519 lot is we make a donation. I don't want to 95 00:04:16.519 --> 00:04:19.720 call anybody out, but there's a couple of places that 96 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:22.199 even this week, have said, oh, we're putting out you know, 97 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.240 this box of candy and a dollar from it is 98 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.959 going to support Yeah, which I hugely appreciate because I 99 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.519 don't know every facet of it. But when you actually 100 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.720 get to tangibly experience where the money is going, that's 101 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.199 so different than just to be like, oh, I feel 102 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.839 good about myself. I donated money. I was able to 103 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.600 support a cause and help people out. It's less abstract 104 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:47.040 it is, and it's very like when we're talking design, 105 00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.480 it's literally you know, you're able to be in there 106 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.120 and really touch everything and feel every you know, piece 107 00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.439 of material from wallpaper to paint, the way that the 108 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.800 sculptures are done, to hearing the stories of why they 109 00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:01.560 picked what went into what room to honor that home 110 00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.439 that's in Pasadena and has this here history from the 111 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:05.800 nineteen twenties when it was built. 112 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:07.600 So it's really cool, really different. 113 00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:10.720 But something else to get into that's a little bit 114 00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:16.879 more exciting is that's happening right now is the Pan 115 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.240 African Film and Arts Festival kicked off tonight, So I 116 00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:23.439 was actually this is my I came over here because 117 00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:25.279 I want to hang out here, but tonight was a 118 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.199 really cool opening party for it. But this is something 119 00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.399 that kind of goes back to what you've talked about earlier, 120 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:36.040 that in real life IRL theater crimunal experience, because this 121 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.560 is different for me, and this for me is one 122 00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:41.240 of the first major film festivals that's happening here in 123 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:43.879 southern California. They happen every weekend. They happen every week. 124 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:47.040 This one runs through the middle of the month. But 125 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.560 you get to sit down and meet those people. So 126 00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.560 beyond talking about Fantastic four and all the really cool 127 00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.120 trailers and everything with Marvel Do we love from the big, 128 00:05:55.199 --> 00:05:58.160 huge powerhouses, to be able to meet people kind of 129 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.720 like you even talked about the documentaries and being able 130 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.160 to meet these people and talk to them and really 131 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.040 get that feel. For me, this is what makes that 132 00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.600 in person experience more viable. And so even if you 133 00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.800 don't go to this specific film festival, I encourage you 134 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.160 to find what's going on in your backyard, because literally, 135 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.360 there's stuff that goes on in Newport Beach, There's stuff 136 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:19.160 that goes on out in Riverside, there's stuff that happens 137 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.319 up in ventur there's things that happen in San Diego. 138 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.439 So much is happening throughout the Southland that happens not 139 00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:26.920 just on the weekends but during the week And I 140 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.319 think that's the biggest thing, because sometimes you just need 141 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.759 a reset, and we've really hit that point now where 142 00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:36.920 the in person experience for movies may not connect with everybody. 143 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.240 And I think after a certain point, we get in 144 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.360 such a routine of it's either the movies or this 145 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.399 or that, we lose sight of the other options which 146 00:06:46.439 --> 00:06:49.800 are available, or we don't think to explore these other options. 147 00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:51.480 No, And I think that's it. You hit the nail 148 00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:55.680 on the head specifically, because we get into our bubble, 149 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.800 we get into our blinders on situation. I got to 150 00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.839 get up at X number hours, I got work, I 151 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:03.279 got this. I can maybe fit in, you know, a 152 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:05.759 drink with a friends during the week These are really 153 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.040 cool opportunities for you to get out there and to 154 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.360 be a part of the community and also get that 155 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:12.839 drink with your friends. And it doesn't take much and 156 00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.360 for the most part, like including the Filmfest of the 157 00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.519 Pan African Film and Arts Festival, they have an install 158 00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:21.199 at Westfield Cuver City, so it's happening at the Colus Theater. 159 00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:23.720 Excuse me, Yes, the Fox Fields Mall. You're correct, it 160 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:25.680 is the Fox Hills Mall. No, if you ever call it, well, 161 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.079 you're right. Look his mama name him Clay. I'm gonna 162 00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:29.680 call him Clay. It's the fox Fields Mall. 163 00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.800 Which is funny because no one when going back to 164 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:34.839 my time as the traffic reporter here for KFI, I 165 00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.120 would always talks about Fox Hills and people literally like 166 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:40.120 where's that? And I was like, what the monument? But 167 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.240 that's so saying you cannot miss it. If you're going 168 00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:45.000 up the four h five, you cannot miss the Fox 169 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:48.720 Hills Mall. Now granted it out now has Westfield Culver 170 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:51.079 City branding and everything else. Okay what they call it, 171 00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:52.879 but that's it. And that whole area right there just 172 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.199 before the ninety is going to be the Fox Hills area, 173 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:58.600 like right there on the East edge city right exactly, 174 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.600 but it's so in you go to that and being 175 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.600 able to even go to which you used to be 176 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.600 the Magic Johnson Theater in Crenshaw is now a cinema. 177 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.560 So yes, the theater and so they're one of the 178 00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:15.160 venues that will be be showcasing the films from the 179 00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:18.160 Pan African Film Festival. So it's something that's different. But 180 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.199 again going back over to Fox Hills Mall Westfield, Culver City, 181 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.399 that they do have over one hundred and fifty international 182 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.240 artists that have an art installation there, which is kind 183 00:08:27.240 --> 00:08:28.800 of cool.

We're both live everywhere on the 197 00:09:17.039 --> 00:09:20.919 iHeartRadio app and Nick still, what is up? 198 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.120 What is going on? Where are we going? Where are 199 00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:23.519 you going? 200 00:09:23.679 --> 00:09:25.960 I'm going to be headed off to Disney this weekend, 201 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.960 which is not surprising. We talked about many of my 202 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.279 eighteen times. But the thing that I like, and I 203 00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.519 actually was there today before coming in because right now 204 00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.519 is to celebrate Soulfully Festival. Well festival, I guess it's 205 00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:38.240 not the right name for it, but to celebrate Soulfully 206 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.200 is happening at the Disneyland Resort, so it affects Downtown Disney, 207 00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.519 Disneyland Park, and Disney California Venture Park. The next two 208 00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.120 weekends are two of my favorite weekends at the resort 209 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.879 because of the Fantasy Land Theater inside of Disneyland. So yes, 210 00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.159 it does require park admission, but if you are one 211 00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.120 of our Magic key holders, if you're an annual pass 212 00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:58.360 holder like me, this is well worth your time. So 213 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:00.240 go ahead and get in there and make that day 214 00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:03.279 reservation for Saturday or Sunday this weekend or next because 215 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:07.279 they have the Celebrate Gospel, which is an absolutely incredible thing. 216 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:10.200 Different choirs from around the south Land and around the country. 217 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.759 So there's a couple that are coming in from Africa 218 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.879 this year and a couple from Europe. So it's really 219 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.600 really impressive for you to come in. And this is 220 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:20.240 something while it is not free ninety nine to get 221 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.720 into Disneyland, it is included with the price of admission. 222 00:10:23.879 --> 00:10:27.039 So whether you're a magic keyholder and you are going 223 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.000 and just have like myself, gospel, it is the Gospel Fest. 224 00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.159 So it's the next two weekends. 225 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.879 But it's so different and unique because a lot of 226 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.279 people may have heard this music but have an experienced date. 227 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.879 And if you've never been to church, like we've talked 228 00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.000 about to church, right, this is that opportunity for you 229 00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.559 because it's not just you know, going to someone's home 230 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:54.080 or going to somebody's home church. You've got different parishes 231 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:56.000 from around the country, around the world that'll be there, 232 00:10:56.279 --> 00:10:59.480 but specifically you'll have just choirs that come out. And 233 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.279 for me, that style of music, I mean as not 234 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:05.639 to be cliched again with Disney with the celebrate soulfully, 235 00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:08.240 but there's a different soul behind it. There's a different 236 00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:10.639 feeling behind that style of music, and so that is 237 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.600 something worth checking out. Also, we're exactly a month away 238 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:15.799 from Marty Grau, which I'm excited because that means I'll 239 00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:18.720 be here to celebrate Fat Tuesday with you guys, because 240 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.240 Tuesdays with Nick and what's up with Nick? Hey, we're 241 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.360 gonna be So a month from today is gonna be 242 00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:25.679 Marty Grau. But that doesn't mean it's not already everywhere 243 00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.320 around the Southland, including SeaWorld down in San Diego. I 244 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.840 was there this past weekend checked it out. They've got 245 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.279 a brand new parade, so that is a great opportunity 246 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.799 for you. Took my nieces down there because they have 247 00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:38.559 their birthdays at the end of January. And the thing 248 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:41.240 that's special about SeaWorld, and it's very controversial still to 249 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.200 this day, after Blackfish and everything else, SeaWorld is so educational, 250 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:48.759 and that is where so many people are like, oh, 251 00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.600 I never go because of you know, the controversy behind 252 00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.879 how the animals retreat and everything else like that. And 253 00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:57.879 I can understand if that's where you say, okay, But 254 00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:00.159 when I lived in San Diego as a kid, that 255 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.919 was my first theme park before Disneyland or anything else, 256 00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:05.960 and I was so excited to be able to go 257 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:08.080 in there and experience what it would be to be 258 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.279 like a marine biologist. So that's the opportunity that's still there. 259 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.759 So it's a very different world. Now, I don't think 260 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:18.120 that's contradictory. Two things could have been true, which is true. 261 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:21.440 The treatment of the animals and marine life could have 262 00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:23.320 been problematic, and it was still. 263 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:24.879 Education, right, which is the thing. 264 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.759 And I understand and relate to where people come from 265 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.080 of what you just said if it's something that is 266 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.840 very deep to your heart. But the thing is, it 267 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:36.360 is so incredible to have taken my nieces who are 268 00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:39.919 now six and nine and see the wonder in their 269 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.200 eyes that you don't experience. You see them go have 270 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:44.080 a good time at another theme park, or you take 271 00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:45.559 them to the church carnival and they get to go 272 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:47.759 on rides, and that's a whole fun experience. But being 273 00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:51.480 able to be up close and personal, especially with marine animals, 274 00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:54.159 is so unique and special and sea world. While you 275 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.480 can experience that at zoos or maybe if you're lucky 276 00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:58.279 enough to be able to go some ways that has, 277 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.759 you know, a wildlife preserve that you can experience, this 278 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.159 is so different. But on top of that, completely separate. 279 00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:08.159 You've got Marty Gross celebrations underway down there. They also 280 00:13:08.279 --> 00:13:10.759 just had a Lunar New Year celebration. If you're still 281 00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:13.759 looking to do Lunar's New Year, check out this weekend 282 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.840 with Nick and Nick Poliochini on Instagram. The Lincoln Bio 283 00:13:16.960 --> 00:13:19.840 has all the final celebrations that are happening for Lunar 284 00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.600 New Year, which just happened last week. So it's a 285 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.320 really great opportunity. You granted, we're getting back into the 286 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.080 swing of things after everything that hit us here in 287 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.039 southern California, but there's so much for you to enjoy. 288 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:32.759 In fact, you can even head over to Buyenne Park 289 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:36.360 because this weekend kicks off Peanuts Celebration, so that's Peanuts 290 00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:40.519 Charles Schultz with Snoopy and Charlie Brown and Lucy. That 291 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.840 celebration happens every year, and going to Wayne Park and 292 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.320 going to Knotsberry Farm. If you're looking for something a 293 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:50.759 little bit more on the reasonably priced side, that theme 294 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:52.799 park and resort is great and they have a fantastic 295 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.080 hotel there. You can make an entire experience out of it. 296 00:13:55.720 --> 00:13:57.799 But that's just a bunch of stuff going on, like 297 00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.759 it's we've gotten through January, which took three years to 298 00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:05.559 get through, or so it fell thereabouts maybe two and 299 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.919 a half years. But now that we're moving into February, 300 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:11.279 it's nice to be able to get out. And that's 301 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:14.759 my biggest encouragement. As the air quality is improving around 302 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:18.320 southern California the fires, it's time to get out because 303 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.399 this is that time of the year where things are 304 00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.679 a little chill and a little mellow before we get 305 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.639 into the thick of it once again, because spring break 306 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:26.440 will be here right around the corner and then summer. 307 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:28.440 And it seems like we're getting rained this week, but 308 00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:29.679 not this weekend. 309 00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:31.759 Correct, And even if it is, and if it's going 310 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:34.960 to be what we've seen, we haven't had rain extensively. 311 00:14:35.279 --> 00:14:37.320 So that's one of those kind of the inside scoop 312 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.440 if you will, of going to a theme park or 313 00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.600 going to any of these venues, even if it is 314 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:44.159 an outdoor experience, if the experience isn't canceled or if 315 00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.159 the park isn't closed for the day, it's a great 316 00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:48.120 time to go. If you want short lines, if you 317 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:51.399 want to be able to get on everything. Obviously, check 318 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.639 in and then the one thing that I'm gonna it'll 319 00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:56.720 be a tease for Rue and Back next week. But 320 00:14:57.240 --> 00:14:59.519 fan Fest is coming to Universal Studios, which is a 321 00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:02.720 brand a new experience that will be coming up. I'll 322 00:15:02.759 --> 00:15:05.519 be there for the opening weekend of it. But FanFest 323 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:11.519 will be the maybe the sister event to Halloween Horn Nights, 324 00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.720 and it is going to be featuring Star Trek and 325 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.720 Back to the Future and all the different Universal properties, 326 00:15:17.799 --> 00:15:21.240 plus anime and all many, many, many different things. So 327 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:23.840 I don't know, like it's now's the time we're getting 328 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:25.720 back into the swing of things. There's so much happening 329 00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.919 around southern California. And if you're doing Universal CityWalk, that's 330 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.320 free ninety nine. If you're using Downtown Disney oh wait, wait. 331 00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:36.200 Wait, city Walk is free parking pardons not free, okay, 332 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:36.960 but woo. 333 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.679 But with validation, depending on where you're going, you'll be 334 00:15:41.759 --> 00:15:43.080 able to get that. Look. 335 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.039 When I lived in Studio City, I spent a lot 336 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:47.759 of time back in the day at CityWalk. 337 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.519 The parking was cost prohibitive. I can understand that. 338 00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:54.639 And here's my recommendation, and I say this with all 339 00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:57.639 the love in the world for the Disneyland Resort. You 340 00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:00.440 can get a pass to Universal Studios that includes parking 341 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.240 for a very reasonable price of only a couple hundred bucks. 342 00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.240 Reasonable reasonable for a year's worth of exp oh years 343 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:09.679 year's worth. Okay, yeah, we're not talking for one night. 344 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:11.480 No no, no, okay, no no, because I know it 345 00:16:11.559 --> 00:16:13.759 was getting very expensive for one night. I mean it's 346 00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:15.720 like one night going to see a sporting of it 347 00:16:16.600 --> 00:16:19.360 fifty dollars.

Then the show underperforms or some corporate decision 371 00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:33.680 is made to cancel it, and I'm left holding the 372 00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:38.079 emotional bag of a show which goes nowhere. So I'm 373 00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.839 really reticent to jump into a show early on. But 374 00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:48.000 I happen to watch the first episode of Paradise on 375 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:53.640 Hulu blew me away, and it's one of those things where, 376 00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:55.559 let me just see what this is about. If you 377 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:59.759 don't know, Paradise stars James Marsden as a president United 378 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:02.519 State since Sterley K. Brown, it's more like Sterley K. 379 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.200 Brown's story. He plays the head of the President's detail. 380 00:18:06.319 --> 00:18:11.359 So I'm all into like government thrillers and conspiracy theories 381 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:12.920 that kind of that. I like those types of shows 382 00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:17.880 because I'm into all things government and civics. This show 383 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.200 starts one way, and I don't want to give it away. 384 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:25.480 It's a whole different show by the end of the 385 00:18:25.559 --> 00:18:32.480 first episode. It is so smart the way they do it. 386 00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.960 It will leave your mouth hanging open. You won't see 387 00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:42.920 what's coming. You just don't see what's coming, and it 388 00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:47.000 takes you back to they've marketed this for like two 389 00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:52.839 months and no one saw what was coming. I suggest, 390 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:57.240 if you're a fan of government thrillers, put it that way. 391 00:18:58.519 --> 00:19:02.440 Watch the first episode of Paradise on Hulu. Is it 392 00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.000 in the vein of like night Agent? Because that just 393 00:19:05.079 --> 00:19:08.039 came out. You can say night Agent, you can say 394 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:12.880 the recruit, okay, because you're talking about presidential politics and 395 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:14.039 protecting the president. 396 00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:16.599 So there are all sorts of stories which you could 397 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:18.559 be told within that matrix. 398 00:19:19.160 --> 00:19:21.960 But this is something I can say that there are 399 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.079 elements similar to another show, but I don't want to 400 00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:27.400 say because it will give it away where the show goes. 401 00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:31.960
