(00:00):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kellyon demand from KFI AM six forty.
Now it's time for not Aica DailyCruise. Well, thank you so very
much, and happy Friday, moKelly. All right, Well, you
know every single Friday I talk aboutdiscovering SoCal and the weather is getting a
little bit better, so I didn'tgo too far, but I did go

(00:21):
kind of like almost in our backyard. So my discover SoCal location was the
Walt Disney's Carol Wood Barn Museum,addresses fifty two two Zoo Drive in La
Griffith Park area. I should sayit's only opened get this the third Sunday
of the month. It's opened fromeleven am to three pm. Free admission

(00:42):
in parking and the Walt Disney CarlwoodBarn Museum is probably the cutest and the
quaintest little spot to take your kidsand learn about Walt Disney's obsession with trains
and to see what was once hisbarn. This was actually once his barn.
The Walt Disney Barn member told methat walk love trains and that as

(01:04):
a teen, Walt Disney was oncea news butcher on the on three train
lines. Now a news. Butcherwas a person who worked on passenger railroad
sellings like newspapers, candies, cigarsto the passengers, and even sometimes handling
passengers luggages as well. So whenyou first walk in, you'll see this

(01:26):
really bright kind of florescent yellow redlineone combined Santa Fe and Disney train that
was used on the opening day innineteen fifty five. You can't miss it.
It is so bright. I tellyou that if you go, you
might as well just walk in withsome like sunglasses, because that's how bright
it is. The train was usedfor ten years until more people started visiting

(01:49):
Disneyland, and then it officially retireda year after I was born. Yes,
nineteen seventy four. Yes, youcould walk around the train, but
not inside, and it looks absolutelyimmaculate. Now behind the train you could
take a small tour where you couldsee items that have been preserved from Walt
Disney, such as the Disneyland Parksideplan of nineteen fifty three. Original passenger

(02:15):
tickets from the train, which wereI don't know, they were like more
like a four by six. Nowyou get this, you don't even get
a pass like a ticket. Disneyland'sfirst ever sponsored pamphlet of the park and
where the train would stop you.There is a drawing of the monorail crossing
from nineteen fifty eight which shows thatWalt Disney was really ahead of his time.

(02:38):
A very first Disneyland board game,which I never even knew existed.
Now, from that charming little memorabiliaroom, you could cross over to the
Walt Disney Barn, and I tellyou it's very, very point, and
it's just a delight, and ithas so much history in there. Now,
the Walt Workshop, which was hisman cave, was kind of where

(03:00):
he escaped. Now, back then, man caves were like barns. Nowadays
you have she sheds and you havehe sheds, and you have these shes
that you can make in tatiki roomsand all this other stuff. But this
is where his creative juices and brilliancecame to life. And all the workbenches
and they were hand built by WaltDisney himself. They're in immaculate condition as

(03:23):
well. You'll see his King Georgeand the fifth Livestream engine, which was
purchased in nineteen fifty one in astore in London. You'll see some of
the books. You'll see books ontrains and engines and diagrams tools he used,
and there are original toolboxes and afew pictures of him working in his

(03:44):
barn and on the trains. Thereare some personal items. There's the actual
phone that was used to communicate betweenthe barn and the main house, and
there is also his very own shavingkit while often and started work in the
bar and early in the morning andhe would shave. And you see the
sink there too, where you youknow, you kind of feel his presence

(04:05):
when you're there. The last thingto see is the Ali Johnson's Railroad Depot
depot, which is a small workingtrain at the end of kind of like
at the end of the museum.And there's also really cute souvenir collectible place.
It's called Souvenirs Collectibles and what haveyou. I love the name of
that little snore. So for alittle museum, I have to say,

(04:28):
there is a lot to see.So don't blink. Do not blink,
and just take your time really walkingthrough either the barn or the where the
train is. And if you area Disney fan of Walt Disney, I
have to say that you really geta sense of who he was, how
his mind work, how creative hewas. There were a lot of sketches
that you kind of go, Ithink this is a ride at Disneyland,

(04:50):
but I don't know, And someof it were kind of hit a missus
failures, but they were just ideas. There were just things he really wanted
to to life. So for moreinformation on when they are open, you
could also follow them on Instagram atWaltz Barn or visit www Carolwood dot org.

(05:11):
The Carrollwood Foundation preserves Walt Disney's railroadlegacy. And just an fyi,
Walt Disney Barn is celebrating twenty fiveyears at Griffith Park. Mark your calendar
for July twentieth and twenty first.I'll give this to Tuala two because I
know he kind of mentions things thatare coming up. So mark your calendar
for July twentieth and twenty first.They are finalizing the details and will be

(05:35):
announcing more soon. The events willvary in cost to provide any opportunity for
all the guests to celebrate, somake sure you check back and also follow
them on Instagram or Facebook. Andit's just like I said, it's a
really, really cute place. It'sonly opened once again. I will repeat
myself because I had to wait thirdSunday of the month. It is free.

(05:58):
They do take donations, he saidfree. Yeah, it's free ninety
nine for we love free. Seeparking is also free ninety nine freesky.
But it's only opened eleven am tothree pm and it's five to zero two
zoo drive in La Griffith Park area. And on Instagram you could follow them
at Walt's Barn. You gave usa lot of information, a lot of

(06:19):
history for four hours that it couldbe open one day a month. How
much time did you spend there toget all of that, to digest all
of that? I spent one hour, so a good thirty minutes inside that
little where the yellow train was.Because you have to and I'm just giving
you just like the basics, becauseI want you to go. I want

(06:42):
you to take that Sunday, thirdSunday of the month and take your kids
and take your family. And ifyou're a Disney lover and if you're just
a fan of Walt's there's so muchto see. I mean things that you
were like, wow, I meanyou see diagrams, you see some of
his personal stuff. You see thingsthat his his mind mode was just brilliant,

(07:02):
just brilliant. He was ahead ofhis time. When you see the
diagram on the wall of the monorail, you were like, yo,
you were thinking, like way aheaddecades really, and this is just so
much to see. So about Ispent about thirty minutes in the where the
yellow train is, and then Iwas in line for about a good probably

(07:26):
ten minutes inside the barn because everyonewants to see that, and they only
let so many people inside the barnbecause it's you know, it's not a
really big barn, but there's somany little things to see. So that
takes about a good thirty minutes andpeople are just intrigued. And his actual
tools because he had this fascination fortrains, you know what I mean.

(07:46):
And he had books on trains,on engines and stuff I don't even know
how to pronounce, and just intricatestuff. And you know, you see
Walt Disney as this person who createdDisneyland and disney World, but you also
go you kind of look at himand you go, I feel like,
still there's that little boy in him, you know what I mean. I

(08:07):
think in every man. There's alittle boy and that really wants to express
themselves and show who they are andsee their creator and show them their show
you their creativity. Well that wasfantastic. You've given me something to do.
I'm going to put that on mycalendar because I am curious to know
and dying to see it. Yes, yes, so definitely. Like I
said, only the third Sunday ofthe month open from eleven am to three

(08:31):
pm. Free admission, free parking. They do like to take donations if
possible, and once again you couldfollow them on Instagram at Walt Disney's Barn.
That's Nataka Dela Cruz. We'll havemore on this Friday Night with Nataka
in just a moment. It's Laterwith mo Kelly if I am six forty.
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. You're listening to Later with Mo

(08:52):
Kelly on demand from KFI AM sixforty. Now back to you, Naica
Dela Cruz. Well, thank youso very much. Love that beat right
there. All right, Well itis Friday and I have a beautiful young
lady as a hidden gem. Hername is Megan Riley. Megan Riley was
adopted at five years old by amale family friend due to her mother's substance
a youth struggles. By ten yearsold, the family friend had passed away,

(09:16):
and Megan learned that her adopted fatherwas not her biological father. Hoping
to keep some stability in her life, the man's oldest daughter assumed care for
her for a brief period of time. Unfortunately, shortly after the transition,
her caretaker contacted the Department of FamilyServices stated that she was no longer able

(09:37):
to care for Megan. Megan endedup in foster Youth Home feeling alone,
scared, and with an overwhelming senseof grief and abandonment. Her first few
weeks there were very difficult. Shehad trouble communicating her needs and making friends.
Megan also struggled with schedules and anytype of structure. Over time,

(09:58):
Megan devel a strong love for animals, like we all love animals, and
in high school and in her highschool years she interned at a local pet
shelter, and you know, sheneeded some She also needed some what do
you call it, the community credit? I guess so that it was helpful
for her. She felt that sheliked animals more than people. I think

(10:20):
we all can agree on that,and she became a vet nurse at VCA
Hospital. Megan said she ended upin the care of additional family members,
but she just couldn't shake off thefeeling of being in a foster youth home
and feeling so scared. She saidit was something that was very hard to
forget and didn't want any young childto feel that way. She was very

(10:43):
blessed enough to receive love and bein a loving environment with a family she
deserved. She wanted to show kindnessand warmth to other young children, so
she connected with LA y N,which stands for the Los Angeles Youth Network,
also known as YES Youth Emerging Strongerdot org. The Los Angeles Youth

(11:05):
Network have different programs for homeless,minor youths ages twelve to seventeen and also
transitional age youth eighteen to twenty four. They have programs of intervention, prevention,
and permanency. Permanency is more thana safe, stable home. It's
connection, it's hope, it's healing. So their residential programs offer intervention,

(11:30):
ensuring youth are off the streets,free from abuse and working towards being protected.
Also also working I'm sorry protect themfrom against future victimization, incarceration,
and homelessness. Over two hundred andfifty youth per per year benefit from their
education assistance, job development, andmental health services. Two hundred plus youth

(11:56):
receive aftercare assistance and supportive services.Thirty five percent of youth they serve are
a part of the LGTBQ community andthey save and they have eighty four percent
success rate of having the youth safelyreunited with their family, a foster family
or stable independent living home environment.They also have a help hotline and they

(12:20):
do not turn a child away.You could also get involved with this organization
by visiting their website and tabbing overto where it says give and engage.
There are many many ways to helpand you know, Megan Riley, first
of all, I want to saythank you for your story. You are
a warrior. Thank you for beingour hidden gem this week. And it

(12:43):
is not too many times that youhear someone who is in the foster system
that has a positive story that endsup with the family with love and caring.
Because it could go either way.Go way, ye either way,
it could go positive or it couldgo negative. And from more information you
could go to Youth Emerging Stronger dotorg if you like to get involved or

(13:05):
if you like to donate, andyou know her story, She said this
kind of woke her up in asense as of, you know, what
she wanted to do in life.It kind of molded her into becoming a
vet nurse and also trying to helpother children not to feel the way that
she felt. And you know,with that being said, you know,

(13:28):
as a kid, I kind ofstruggled a little bit, and I,
you know, I wanted to bepart of a foster home because I was
an abused child and I used tothat I was an abused child, and
I used to run away from myhome and sleep at the park. And
I did that from the ages offive to six. I've known you,
I don't know how many years,and I didn't know bad about you.

(13:48):
Well, you know, I don'treally tell too many people my story,
but it has been a blessing thatyou know, sometimes when I learn about
people, especially these hidden gems,I feel like I connect with a lot
of them in certain way minus homelessness. But that's what I guess draws me
to them, to get to knowthem a little bit. And so,

(14:09):
you know, as a child whenI would sleep in these parks from the
ages of five to six, Iused to wish and pray that somebody would
pick me up, and I wantedto be a part of another family.
And I'm you know, my lifeended up turning not so bad. You
know. I got reunited with mymother. But I hear her story and

(14:30):
I hear I hear how she kindof suffered a little bit as far as
believing you think this is your thatyou think this is your father, but
it's not your father. Same here. I thought my stepmother was my mother,
but she wasn't my biological mother,you know what I mean. And
how we go back to that isthat my father had kidnapped me from my
mother in nineteen seventy four, andso long story short, it was,

(14:56):
it's not how now, Daisy,I have Amber alerts and you know,
you swipe a credit card and youcan find someone where they're at, and
yes, it's it, you know. So it took my mom a really
long time to find me. AndI'm kind of like Megan. She got
reunited with her family, and shestarted to learn what love is and learning
to love herself and learning to knowwhat the value of family is How did

(15:20):
you find Megan? I found Meganthrough a friend and she said that she
works with the youth and I said, I was I'm kind of looking for
someone who was working for youth andshe was like, oh, I have
a person. And I was likeokay. And she didn't want to,
you know, zoom call because she'svery shy and she's like, I don't

(15:41):
really like to open up to people. And I said, okay, Well,
I'm going to try to make youfeel as comfortable as possible, you
know, And I said, ifit takes me four days to finish the
story, I'll do it. Ijust want to hear your story and I
want to hear how you paired upwith this organization because my friend was telling
me more about the organization than Megan, and so I said, well,

(16:02):
let me talk to her. Andyou know, we had a good conversation
and you know, some tears andsome laughter, and you know, I
see comedy and even in the worst, you know what I mean, I
see road kill. I think it'sfunny. But you know what I mean,
I feel like sometimes you connect withsomeone, whether it's Kismet or whatnot,
but it's like God sends you anangel from above to go, hey,

(16:22):
maybe you need to talk to thisperson and maybe you guys can compare
notes. Yeah, it sounds likeyou not only learned something from each other,
but you also remembered something that youmaybe had forgotten long ago about the
magic and importance of life. Correct. Correct, Well, that was something
that was pretty powerful. I enjoyedwhat you Donica, make sure you come

(16:45):
back next week as well. AllRight, it's led with Mo Kelly KFI
AM six forty Live Everywhere on theArt Radio app. You're listening to Later
with Moe Kelly on demand from KFIAM six forty Later about Gully Live Everywhere
on the iHeartRadio app. Now MarkRunner with the Runner Report. Tonight we

(17:06):
talk about The Fall Guy. Maybeyour reaction was the same as mine when
you saw there was gonna be aFall Guy movie with Ryan Gosling and Emily
Blunt, something along the lines of, oh, thank you. Another mediocre
old TV series gets the big screentreatment. When do we get the big
screen Simon and Simon or Hardcastle andMcCormick blockbusters. Yes, they're gonna do
those for real, aren't they.I don't forget Heart to Heart I'm not

(17:29):
looking you look, So maybe youalso thought Fall Guy movie Ryan Gosling will
get richer along with everybody else involved. It'll be empty calories that could never
be mistaken in any way for anythingmemorable substantial, let alone art. Kind
of like a bag of funians youscarf down on the way home from work
in the car and completely forget aboutuntil your girlfriend tells you you dropped a
couple on the floor. Look,I'm sorry. Do you think i'd intentionally

(17:52):
waste funians? Hell? No,get off my back, and that you
also got crumbs on the seat.All right, I'm sorry, my bad.
I was trying to keep my eyeson the road, and you didn't
want me to die to avoid funioncrumbs on your lousy car seat, did
you? Is that what you wantedon your conscience? A funion related death?
What are we even doing here actuallyeat funions? Anyway? The Fall
Guy movie. You don't have tosell me on nostalgia. I'm into all

(18:15):
of that. Old shows are mycomfort viewing. I just bought the score
to twelve o'clock High from a jointcalled La La Land Records, and I'm
still digging every minute of the FBIQuinn Martin Warner Production, but for every
mission impossible, and those had toget four or five deep to start getting
really good. By the way,there's a wild Wild West or a Starsky
and Hutch movie offensively bad, lazyinsults to the original stuff Code Brown's no

(18:41):
debate. Now. I don't reallycare if anyone insults The Fall Guy because
I was never a big fan ofit. In fact, I don't remember
watching it. But weirdly, I'vebecome a fan of Heather Thomas in recent
months and I follow her on Twitter. She's exceptionally cool and she's got some
nerve too. Also, Lee Major'sabsolutely loved The six Million Dollar Man when
I was a kid, and Iknow Mode did too. Absolutely. I
was tickled to see him pop upin Ash Versus Evil Dead as Ash's father

(19:06):
fairly recently. Now, if youremember, Majors sang the theme song of
The Fall Guy. Now let's justsettle into this. Okay, that's about
all that I can take. MyGod, my god, that's bad.

(19:29):
And I may not be a FallGuy fan, but I am a bad
pop culture trash fan. And letme tell you that's not all the singing
Lee Majors did Anyway, we weretalking about how the Fall Guy movies like
funians, right, but hang onhere the director is David Leech. He's
the guy who did Atomic Blonde,Deadpool two, Bullet Train. That is
some respectable action comedy material right there. Well, here's the deal. Fall
Guy's kind of fun, pretty dumb. It's too long, and it wears

(19:52):
out. It's welcome way before thecredits roll and they show you the behind
the scenes footage. The script soformulaic that if you experience even a singer
moment of surprise, you may wantto look into one of those person man
woman camera TV cognitive tests. Butif you like Gosling and he always gives
off a vibe of being game andamiable and in on the joke, then
you're not going to be furious onthe car ride home. Okay, get

(20:15):
some mo Vegan nuggets and it's acouple it's a couple hours of not worrying
about Gaza. I can sum upthe vibe as being pretty similar to that
Dragnet comedy with Tom Hanks and DanAckroyd way back in nineteen eighty seven,
but with more stunts and maybe theBen Stiller Starsky and hutch, complete with
the obligatory but really unsatisfying cameos andmore stunts. This formulaic plot. It's

(20:37):
mainly a delivery device for yes,stunts and set pieces, but it's so
belabored that you can't help being constantlyaware of it instead of just experiencing the
ride and wishing they trimmed at leasttwenty minutes from it. Gosling's stunt guy
character is in a thing with bluntsEmily blunts. He gets injured in a
stunt and disappears for eighteen months,along with their relationship. He's later hired

(21:00):
on her first movies where she's adirector, and there's a lot of talking
about that, what happened, ifthey'll ever get back together again. Not
a single surprise anywhere ever. Meanwhile, the jerk lead actor goes missing and
mister fall guy goes to find himto keep the plug from getting pulled on
the movie and save the day viastunts. There's your setup. Oh,
and bad guys literally want to setup Gosling, making him say it with

(21:23):
me. There a fall guy,thank you very much. Now. The
bad guys are played so broadly thatI kept finding myself thinking of better stunt
guy movies like like Hooper with BurtReynolds. Oh, that was a good
one, it really was. OrRichard Rushes the stunt Man, remember that
one I do Peter O'Toole Steve Rail'sback was the Stuntman. In fact,

(21:44):
I'll tell you this, during thetwo hours and seven minutes, I had
completely composed in my head a listicalthat even I have too much self respect
to pitch of the best movies aboutstuntman to see before you watch The fall
Guy and before you ask yes,stunt Rock from nineteen seven and eight is
on it. And that's your runnerreport. I feel like I pulled something,
mo. I have a question,two questions. Actually, I've always

(22:07):
been ambivalent ambivalent about Ryan Goswig.I wasn't sure whether he was a leading
man. He works well in kindof an ensemble cast. I don't know
if he can hold the screen byhimself. Well, he was terrific in
Blade Runner twenty forty nine, andhe was really good in a movie that,
for some reason people have forgotten calledThe Nice Guys with Russell Crowe.
Yeah, anybody who hasn't seen that, it's a great time. It's a

(22:30):
much better time. Than the fallGuy. But like I said, it's
inoffensive. It's no good by anymeans, but you know you're not going
to be furious on the ride home, and like taking the dog to a
gravel pit whether I guess that's awhole nother subject. Were there any Easter
eggs? HARKing back to the TVshow, Well, you just find out

(22:52):
there's the obligatory cameos, but don'texpect much at all out of that.
I will say at the Thomas,it's still looking pretty good. All right,
all right, that's always a reasonto go see it. If we
have extra time we do. I'vegot an honorable mention, so I can
leave you with something actually good.It's a movie called Late Night with the
Devil. Now, this is nota blockbuster, but it's worth your time.

(23:14):
It had a spotty theatrical release.It might still be in some but
it's streaming now on Shutter and Ithink you can just run it to stream.
And it is one hundred percent mywheelhouse. It's about a seventies late
night TV show host and he hasa possessed girl on a show, along
with a sort of amazing Randy Debunkertype and some other oddball guests and all
hell breaks loose literally on the show. This is lots of fun. It

(23:37):
is just note perfect and its presentation, even if I thought the end result
was more of a solid B plusas opposed to an Exorcist A plus.
The star is David dast Melchin,who has been in one of those suicide
movies, The Last Voyage of theDemeter. You're gonna recognize him. He's
been in tons of stuff recently.I felt kind of rotten for not seeing
Late Night with the Devil in atheater, but I subscribed to Shutter just

(23:59):
to support worth while stuff like this. Not really a ton of stunts,
though Late Night with the Devil isworth the watch. There's something positive to
take out of this whole ordeal,all right, And there is your runner
report. And also got to remindyou one last time. The Beach Live
Festival returns to the sands of AdondoBeach May third, as in today through

(24:22):
May fifth, with performances by Staying, Incubus, Devo, Dirty Heads,
zz Top and more, plus theFOURK reporter Neil Sievedra will be broadcasting live
tomorrow on Saturday, and it's nottoo late, hurry up and get your
tickets now at Beachlife Festival dot comand also give us a call for name
that movie called Classic eight hundred fiveto zero one five three four. It's

(24:45):
Later with Moe Kelly k if IAM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio
app you're listening to and Later withMoe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six
forty. Last segment. Mark Ronnerin his RUNA report was reviewing the movie
The Fall Guy, and in thatyou got the whole nostalgic feels of the

(25:06):
original TV show. And I wouldsay it's Cousin the six Million Dollar Man
and all the great memories. Ifyou're old enough to remember those TV shows,
There's something very powerful about nostalgia andthese characters that we fall in love
with over the years. Never isthat more evident than when I watch a

(25:26):
show like Cobra Kai. It hasall of the best feel good moments of
the original movies. You have theoriginal actors and actresses. Every single one,
with the exception of maybe one ortwo, have made their presence known
in the Cobra Kai series from theKarate Kid universe. Every single one.

(25:51):
We get to find out what hashappened to all of our favorite characters,
from Daniel and Johnny and Ali withan eye, all of them, the
bad boy Mike Barnes since a KreeseTerry Silver chosen every single one. They've
made an appearance, maybe multiple appearances, and that's why the show is so

(26:12):
well done. Not only do thehomage to the original trilogy and those characters,
they've done a very deliberate, wellresearched presentation of these new characters,
the new generation, which is goingto take the series into the future.
They have the new Karate Kid moviecoming out in about a year or so.

(26:36):
The one thing that's really really goodabout Cobra Kai is that it is
a series that has grown with us. Any of us who watched and fell
in love with the Karate Kid inour youth, this is a series that
grew up with us so it matured. It's not a retread of the old

(26:59):
story. It's not the same theold character still going through the same stuff.
They are adults now dealing with theirhistory and how it have turned out
now. And there are things thatCobra Kai has done which have flipped the
original Karate Kids' story on its headand that's what makes it fresher. It
actually shows you how everything you mayhave thought was happening wasn't everything. It's

(27:25):
just actual life. There are noactual good guys and bad guys. These
are people who were all dealing withsomething. I love that about the series.
The season six, the final season, is just upon us. They
released a new trailer for season sixnot too long ago. But what's interesting
is this final season is going tobe broken up into three parts, three

(27:48):
many seasons, if you will,of six episodes each, which are going
to take place over the course ofmaybe a year and a half our real
world time. In other words,we'll get the first six episodes and maybe
two months, and then we'll haveto wait three months for the next six
episodes and so forth, and willlead us up to the doorstep of the
new Karate Kid movie. Love thesmell of karate in the afternoon, No

(28:15):
mercy, get your asses ready,We're not giving up without a fight.

(28:36):
Cobra Kai is back. What Ilove about Cobra Kai as well is they
allow these kids who have grown upto become adults, act like real adults,
They talk like adults. They arelike many of us where we're stuck
in our our high school years.As far as mentality, we're stuck in

(28:59):
the nineties in terms of the decade, and the humor is adult. Ye
any times, it's not that sameinnocent universe that we once knew way back
when. This is quite possibly oneof the most brilliant franchises on Netflix.
There's no wonder why it is sopopular and has spawned a new generation of

(29:21):
fandom because it does touch on reallife issue things that you and I as
adults, mo that we can relateand we say like, yeah, man,
I remember what it was like inhigh school. It's almost like seeing
what life would be like if youwere able to go back and try to
fix some of those things. Ilove how it pulls us in like that.
Well, they're basically our contemporaries whenthey were in high school. We

(29:44):
were in high school. When theygrew up and started their adult lives,
so did we. They're gone throughsome of the same life challenges that we've
gone through, and also dealing withthose demons of the past, the people
that you run into later on inlife who may have peaked in high school.
Yeah, and they're still thinking asif it is still high school.
And they think that because they bulliedyou in high school that they can bully

(30:07):
you in your late forties and fifties. And it's like, na, son,
I'm not that same person, andneither are you. Yeah, yeah,
that part is fantastic. And Iknow I've had some people reach out
to me, send me dms whatwe've talked about in the past, and
they're like, the martial arts iscorny, it's not real. It's not
about that, and it's like,let's not re re envision the original Karate

(30:30):
Kid as if it was just someyou know, Jackie Chan or Jet Lee
martial arts, you know, spectacular. It wasn't. They were trying to
give you a look at what realistickarate tournaments are, like the tournament,
the tournament, the tournament, notthe actual participants. Because let's remember Daniel
LaRusso started in New School, sowe can assume it's September and the All

(30:52):
Valley Karate Championship was December nineteenth,and he was a block belt and won
the tournament as well. Look,he was in black belted yagi dough,
so that's that's different, but hewon even heat. The bad boy Mike
Barnes, I think but anyhow,cry excuse me. Cobra Kai is coming

(31:18):
with the sixth season sometime in July. If I'm not mistaken, I will
not miss it. Can't wait forit. And it also real quickly before
we go to break. It remindspeople, or should remind people, the
power of Netflix. The first twotwo seasons of Cobra Kai were on YouTube
Red. Netflix picked it up andall of a sudden it spawned a whole

(31:40):
universe, a movie, and soforth. It just revitalized everything. It
could have just died on the vine. And if you think about if you
know this show suits it originally airedon the USA Network, diehard fans like
me, we loved it. Itwent away, and then it saw showed
up on Netflix. It blew up. It became a phenomenon all over again.
Now they're going to have another showsince La, just because of the

(32:05):
success on Netflix. So I thinkyou're going to see more TV shows come
back to life because of Netflix.K if I am six forty. We're
