Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's Later with mo Kelly. Let's find out what's up
with Nick Pouliochini who joins me now in the studio
with his Disney paraphernalia right Disney seventieth Anniversary shirt on
and everything I do, which is funny.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
So talk about poignant because I was there before I
came here today Disney, like I was at Disneyland before
I came here. So I came all the way straight
on through from Anaheim, two hours from Anaheim.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
To get up here to Burbank to be here for
Later with Mo Kelly. So and then you didn't stay
here long. You left here and went where.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
And then I went over the Empire Center down the
street because somebody had a hanker in and a story
about donuts. So I went over to Krispy Kreme, shout
out to the crew that's over in the Burbank store,
and picked up both a dozen original glazed and also
that special collab box with Hulu.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, so not only did we get to discuss it,
we actually got to taste it. And before your time
with us is finished, we'll get some reviews from those
the studio about the Hulu box, Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Everybody, I think everyone. No, you haven't tried any and
I haven't tried it any yet, but we've got at
least two that have been tried in the Hulu box.
So but yeah, to go back to what we were
talking about last hour with the seventieth anniversary, and so
it's funny that you specifically talked about magic Key, because
that is something that I'm a part of. In magic
Key is the annual passholder program for the Disneyland Resort.
(01:22):
I funnily enough, funnily enough if that's the word just
made because you have ninety days out that you can
make the reservations is how the system works. So I
literally was doing the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, and they're all
available right now. And I was there for a friend's
birthday at the resort today and was sitting down to
lunch and we booked their reservations. And then, as you
(01:44):
have said, there are no more reservations available.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Were you afforded an opportunity because you were there in
person as opposed to trying to do them purely?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
We just caught the tail end before they were gone.
I had already booked them with the friends that were
with us who live over in Pasadena. They we're booking
as we were doing it, but like it literally, you know,
ninety days out, we're already set up and ready for
the seventieth. And I think because the funniest part is
July seventeenth is the actual birthday of Disneyland, July seventeenth,
nineteen fifty five. But of course Disney likes to give
(02:14):
you as much celebration time as possible, so they'll start
it early on Friday, the sixteenth of May. So the
biggest thing for you to know now and get ready
for if you are not already prepared for it. Nick
pollio'channe this weekend with Nick on Instagram, you can actually
see I coincidentally have a link there that has all
the details about the seventieth anniversary that I just put
out on my story today. But you can also follow
(02:36):
along and be able to see all the fun and
excitement as it happens. So I've got that also. We're
getting ready right now. We're doing Celebrate soul Fully at
Disneyland mostly actually is in both parks, and that's in
celebration of a lot of Black History Month, and then
we have coming up next Friday. You'll be able to
check out the food and Wine festival because I'll have
all the details about that. In fact, I'll be meeting
(02:58):
with some of the wine makers and some of the
celebrity chefs that'll be there. And then yeah, and then
we'll move into the seventieth Birthday celebration. So but it's funny.
I am decked out in all my goodies, so you'll
be able to see that on social media as well.
But yeah, it was wild and I barely made it
back from Mammoth.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
From snowboard. I saw that people were like snowed in.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
It was there were two avalanches the snow Patrol. Unfortunately
they're fine now, but there are three of them transported
to the hospital there. I got up there on Thursday
and Friday and we were shut down. There were eighteen
miles of the three ninety five that were shut down
between Bishop and Mammoth, so we couldn't even get into town.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And then once we got.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
There, I yours truly decided to make sure that his
EV was charged up and got that stuck in the snow.
So that was a whole experience. I found out that
Triple A does service you. If you get stuck, they'll
bring a winch out and get your car out.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But yeah, it was wild.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I've never like, I have seen incredible snow in Mammoth
and up in Big Bear. I've never seen anything like
this before. It was absolute insane and we were staying.
If you're familiar with Mammoth, there are several lodges, Eagle Lodge,
Canyon Lodge, Main Lodge. We were near Canyon, which is
one of the most popular ones. We were able to
watch all these things happening. We could see the avalanche
when it had came down, like we could see everything
from where we were.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It was wild.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Were you ever in fear for your own safety? No,
we were good because we were far enough away. But it
was like we were on the other side of the lodge,
so we could see it coming down the mountain. So
if it did come down all the way and had
it affected the lodge, then it would have been able
to get to us. But it didn't quite make it
all the way down there, so it was a lot.
It was a fun experience, but it's good to be
(04:34):
here with you, and it's good to be here with later.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
With mo Kelly. Let me ask you this, somebody who
going back to Disney for a moment, someone who goes
to Disneyland so often for so many years. Sure, can
it meet your expectations for a seventieth anniversary celebration.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I having been a part of the Walt Disney Company,
and I worked there from ninety eight through two thousand
and three, and I opened New tomorrow Land, and I
the eight and also Plaza in and I was a
part of the expanded resort project of opening Disney Grand
California Hotel and Disney California Adventure all of that. So yes,
can it be done absolutely? And can it be done well? Yes,
(05:13):
because Disney is exceptionally good at doing that. The question
will be when the Walt Disney Company becomes involved, it
becomes a company wide celebration as opposed to just to
our resort or to the wal the Walt Disney World
Resort in Florida, or Disneyland Paris or any of those things.
So it'll be really interesting to see, as we have
(05:35):
observed Disney Plus and all the other different properties within
the Walt Disney Company, how this will be played out.
So what will be returning for the seventieth anniversary Wondrous Journeys,
which is a very popular firework show, which is interesting
to me because predominantly you get a new fireworks show
when a celebration year comes around. In fact, if we
go over to Tokyo Disneyland, which is operated by Oriental
(05:58):
Land and Sea, which is the partnership with the Walt
Disney Company, they have a agreement that every five years,
for every celebration year, they have a brand new parade
and a brand new fireworks extravaganza, something that we used
to have here but we have not seen in a
very very long time. We always get these incredible things
that come back. That's why the electrical parade continues to
come back. Now, Paint the Night will be returning for
(06:19):
the seventieth anniversary. Very excited about that. One of the
most amazing nighttime parades all that back, but we're not
seeing anything brand new now. There will be a new
World of Color inside of Disney California Adventure, so that's exciting.
But that's just one of the two gates, one of
the two parks at the resort, and that's also the
(06:39):
new park, the new gate that's not Disneyland, so Disneyland
is getting some really incredible returning properties, but there's nothing
specifically brand new for the seventieth, so it'd be really
interesting to see because Disney does like to keep things
close to their vest, so there is a very good
likelihood that there's something on the horizon that we have
not seen. But people like me who are good on
(07:01):
the inside track usually find things out and we may
not be able to share those things. I've yet to
hear anything that much I can say, so I don't
know what the seventieth will hold other than having all
these fantastic things that we've experienced and have been gone
for a few years will be coming back. So for me,
it seems that the theme for the seventieth is going
to be nostalgia. I think that's where it's kind of
(07:23):
leaning into that idea. Now, there will be a few
things coming. The most exciting, but we don't have official
word on it is the brand new Walt Disney Audio
Animatronic that will be joining and having a very special
show along with great moments with mister Lincoln on mainstream,
but that will not be opening on the opening weekend. Nosnel, no, no, Well,
(07:46):
it's very odd and this is the thing. So if
you go through the history and you listen to Diane Disney,
who is his daughter, and a couple things. One of
the things that was always very specific is that they
never wanted to create out audio animatronic of Walt, and
now it's happening.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
So I don't know what that is going to look like.
So I think that obviously means the Disney family has
signed off on it, of course, because they're not going
to let you know, Dad being effected in that way
in any way, shape or form. And it's incredible to
think that Walt will hypothetically be walking among us amongst
us once again. But it'll be really interesting to see
(08:24):
what happens, because if you've been to great moments with
mister Lincoln, it's pretty darn impressive that you think you
are looking at Abraham Lincoln. And obviously that is not
the case, because that is the tip top audio animatronic
that's available right now. What is interesting to me is
that with Epic Universe coming to Florida, which will be
opening Memorial Day weekend, right the weekend following the opening
(08:48):
of the seventieth anniversary, Epic Universe will have some of
the absolute state of the art audio animatronics, including in
Dark Universe, which will be Frankenstein and Brider, Frankenstein and
Wolfman and all of the different universal monsters will be
represented in these incredible audiometronics that we've never seen the
(09:08):
likes of.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So can I compare? Will it compete? We'll find out
when we come back. We'll also find out about this
Krispy Kreme and Hulu dual promotion. We talked about it
earlier in the evening, how they've teamed up for this
special variety pack of assorted flavors and comminations. We'll learn
firsthand whether it's Walla Sharp and I think Andrew Caravelli
(09:32):
tates one and I'm not sure Stefan that you takes
one of the Hulu Krispy Kreme pack. Okay, So we
get some first hand choices about what is good and
what is very good and just moment.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty. That's call.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
That's KAFI Lady with Mo Kelly and Nick Poliochny. We
(10:16):
are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and earlier in
the show we told you about Krispy Kreme and Hulu
how they were teaming up on a new donut collection
inspired by movie theater snacks, and in discussing it, we
were just overcome with this desire to have some Crispy
Kreme donuts. Nick Polio Ketny was listening in at that moment.
(10:38):
He wasn't even officially on the show, and he was
nice enough to leave the studio, get in his car,
go to the other side of Burbank and pick up
a box of glazed donuts just for me, because I
will eat every damn one of them. There are only
maybe four.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Laugh.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I have to talk about how I okay, stop, I
didn't say you. I just said the box only has
four laughs. They could do math though. That's There's a
few other people here and we also got a box
of the Hulu inspired snack donuts as well.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Toilet Sharp, you tried the caramel popcorn donut.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Yes, what was your review the donut? The makeup of
it was delicious and the filling good. The caramel added
was quite possibly one of the worst ideas Hulu or
Christian Kream has ever come up. Let me say this
real quick.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
It's an unglazed shell donut filled with caramel popcorn flavored
cream filling, dipped in white icing and caramel popcorn, and
topped with red icing drizzles. Continue.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
The caramel popcorn is again the most atrocious addition that
they could ever put. This popcorn tasted like day old,
stale caramel popcorn. Was not a good addition at all.
But the donut itself, it is beautifully made. It almost
(12:06):
looks like a popcorn bucket. So the white and red
drizzle on top, it makes it look like a popcorn bucket.
And the popcorn is like kind of at the top
if you were to look at it face up. But no,
I would never eat that donut again.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Andrew Caravella, you tried the blue Raspberry slush donut, which
is an original glaze donut dipped in blue raspberry flavored
icing and blue sanding sugar.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, my tongue is still blue right now, so kind
of like if you had an icy Yeah, I mean
it literally tasted like I ate what a unicorn would
throw up.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I just that doesn't sound positive.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Well, I mean, you know unicorns are like rainbows and sparkles, right,
So it was like a glittery kind of flavor. It
wasn't too sweet, and that glittery blue raspberry almost kind
of it's almost like dry jelly. That that's what it
tasted like, like like the filling that you if you
really have a filling and a donut like but it
was tried on top. That's kind of what it tasted like.
(13:02):
But with a blue raspberry type of vibe. It wasn't
too bad. Like if you want to be adventurous, I say,
try it once, but I wouldn't go back and get
it again.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Adventures doesn't sound like an endorsement. Yeah, I'm not. Finally
a reason to go and get a slice of that.
And Stephan, you had the cookie Dough Superstar donut, which
was an unglazed shell donut filled with chocolate butter cream
flavored filling, dipped in chocolate flavored icing, and topped with
gold glitter sprinkles and cookie dough bites. Damn, that sounds
(13:34):
like a lot. It is a lot, and so personally
I liked it because so you bite into it, there's
like little almost like the cookie Crisp Cereal, but even smaller,
like they're like dot sizes and you bite into it
and obviously there's a cream, but it's a chocolate and
the first thought I was like, oh, that might be
a little bit too much sugar, But then I gotta
bite if something else they put like I'm guessing it's
(13:56):
not actually raw, but what tasted like raw cookie dough
bites in of the donut itself.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
It probably was wrong and that set it off. Oh
it was raw cookie though, I can see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
then it was it was that was magical? Whoever thought
of that? That was great?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Magical? Okay, so we have one endorsement, right, yeah, I
would say so I will Yeah, two nay's. And then
what was the the that's what was the candy double
featured donut, which is also stuff Yeah, and original glaze
donut dipped in white icing, topped with milk chocolate candy
pieces and many milk chocolate chips, and drizzled with chocolate
flavored icy My goodness. See I'm biased because there's another
(14:34):
donut place that I used to go to that started
to put like Eminem's on the donut. You put M
and ms on anything like that, you got a winner.
And it's actually it's actually it was funny because aside
from that, it's actually pretty standard of a donut, like,
there's nothing too crazy except the M and ms. So
I think if you want something a little bit out
there but not too much like some of these other ones,
(14:55):
I think that's the one to start with because it's
got the simple flavor and then you get the crunch
from the M and m's. So we have two donuts
thumbs up, two donuts thumbs down, or at least once,
but never again.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
I want to know which ones were the rejected ones.
I didn't make it through marketing. That's what I want
to know.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
In other words, if you said yes to this, what
did you say no to? That's good, That's what I
want to know. No, no, no, we need to go
with the cookie dough superstar donut as opposed to the
blastest one because I just telefilled.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Though I was gonna say so it's gonna be like
Swedish fish or I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
To think of all the different things you would get it.
That's not a bad idea to all it if they
would have done the popcorn with the telefilling instead of no.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, and I know I had to go and drink
some of that uh cafeteria milk we have over there.
So now my stomach is probably could be just early.
You got the bubble guts, so I had nothing to
do with that part of the show. I just provided
this and that's it. Well, we thank you for street.
(16:00):
Did you try anything yet?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I haven't tried anything. I had way too much fun
in watching all of you guys do it. I tried
the original glaze, all of them. They're delicious. All the
studio smells amazing. Right now, you won't say that much.
They usually have the law of diminishing returns. Like think
of hot dogs. If eat one hot dog is great,
two pretty good, three not so much. Fourth, Oh, you've
(16:25):
gone too far. It works in the other direction with
the donuts. The first one was good, the second one
was even better, The third one was heaven. The fourth
one was better than sex. Wow, and you heard it here. First, Mike,
go for a fifth?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Somebody get him?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
So I get it. They always say twice on Tuesday,
how about five times?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Thank you very much? Nice, there we go. Finally, I
love it. So what were we going to talk about?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a quick rundown
in the last couple of minutes there before my time
for the show. There's three different art exhibits that are
going down and I've talked about these before with this
Weekend with Nick, but it's really worthwhile if you are
interested in unique art that is being resold here in Hollywood,
so maybe it's from old movie sets or anything to
that effect. Also new art from artists who are either
(17:19):
well established or brand new or never discovered before. So
the three different art shows that actually start tomorrow and
run all the way through Sunday are going to be
the Felix Art Fair, which is at the Whole Hollywood Roosevelt,
and that's a great place to visit just for fun,
and it is free ninety nine to get in, so
it's worth doing that. Obviously, the art pieces themselves are
not but visiting it. Is also at the LA Convention
(17:41):
Center South Hall, starting tomorrow all the way through Sunday
will be the LA Art Show, which is celebrating its
thirtieth year, and that also will have some live demonstrations
of artists that will be painting and sculpting and everything else,
so that's well worth your time.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And then the other art show.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Or the other art fair is happening also starting tomorrow
through the weekend, and it is over ten thousand artists
that make unique claims to different things. Anyway, this happens
in Atwater Village to much smaller kind of alternative things.
So if you are looking to get ahead of your
spring cleaning and you want to get something new for
your home, this is fantastic, especially because all three of
(18:20):
those events are supporting the efforts for the fires. So
a certain amount of proceeds from every one of those events,
for all the purchases of the art, and some of
the artists themselves are donating additional funds. All that is
going to continue to support those who lost their homes
and the Palisades fire and the Eaten fire over in Altadena.
So it's a really great opportunity for you to get
(18:41):
out and experience something again free ninety nine to get
into those If you're looking for something that's a little
bit different, that is also available, but you're looking for
something that's definitely unique and special. There is a new
art exhibition from a Mister Brilliant that starts tomorrow and
runs all the way through March. That's going to be
more down the anime side of things. And then the
(19:01):
one last thing if you're looking for something to go
in and do before the weekend comes, The California African
American Museum, the cinema there has It Was A All
a Dream, and it's a brand exclusive screening with Free
ninety nine To visit. You just had to RSVP to
the event. This is happening on Thursday seven to nine pm.
(19:22):
You can always you know, listen to Later with Mo
Kelly and then queue up for this. But if you
have not seen It Was All a Dream, it's a
very very interesting, very different It's called a visual memoir
reflecting on the dawn and golden era of hip hop.
But if you don't have a knowledge of that and
you go into it, it is so incredibly well done.
(19:46):
I have seen it before. I have not seen it
in this presentation, but I have seen it before. But
it's got notorious Big Wu Tang's, Methan Man's in it,
Snoop Dogs in it, a whole bunch of other different
performers and a lot of them will actually be there
for the screening on Thursday. So and these are great
things for you to check out this week or heading
into the weekend.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Very nice, Thank you, Nick. You want to hang around
for a little longer.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I would love to, but if you want to find
out what I'm doing, as always, you can follow me
on Instagram Nick pollio'channy and this Weekend with Nick you
can find out all the details, including on what's coming
up for the seventieth anniversary for Disneyland. Also knots very
from the Peanut celebration celebrating everything Snoopy and Charlie Brown
is going down, And do not forget that the fan
Fest is coming up for Universal Studios and I will
(20:29):
be there for opening weekend for that, which will be
featuring Back to the Future and Star Trek and so
many other unique properties. So all that and more you
can learn again on social media Nick Poliochanny and this
week I with Nick.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It's Later with mo Kelly. Let's find out what's up
with Nick Pouliochini who joins me now in the studio
with his Disney paraphernalia right Disney seventieth Anniversary shirt on
and everything I do, which is funny.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
So talk about poignant because I was there before I
came here today Disney, like I was at Disneyland before
I came here. So I came all the way straight
on through from Anaheim, two hours from Anaheim.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
To get up here to Burbank to be here for
Later with Mo Kelly. So and then you didn't stay
here long. You left here and went where.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
And then I went over the Empire Center down the
street because somebody had a hanker in and a story
about donuts. So I went over to Krispy Kreme, shout
out to the crew that's over in the Burbank store,
and picked up both a dozen original glazed and also
that special collab box with Hulu.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Yeah, so not only did we get to discuss it,
we actually got to taste it. And before your time
with us is finished, we'll get some reviews from those
the studio about the Hulu box, Yes.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Everybody, I think everyone. No, you haven't tried any and
I haven't tried it any yet, but we've got at
least two that have been tried in the Hulu box.
So but yeah, to go back to what we were
talking about last hour with the seventieth anniversary, and so
it's funny that you specifically talked about magic Key, because
that is something that I'm a part of. In magic
Key is the annual passholder program for the Disneyland Resort.
(01:22):
I funnily enough, funnily enough if that's the word just
made because you have ninety days out that you can
make the reservations is how the system works. So I
literally was doing the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, and they're all
available right now. And I was there for a friend's
birthday at the resort today and was sitting down to
lunch and we booked their reservations. And then, as you
(01:44):
have said, there are no more reservations available.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Were you afforded an opportunity because you were there in
person as opposed to trying to do them purely?
Speaker 3 (01:52):
We just caught the tail end before they were gone.
I had already booked them with the friends that were
with us who live over in Pasadena. They we're booking
as we were doing it, but like it literally, you know,
ninety days out, we're already set up and ready for
the seventieth. And I think because the funniest part is
July seventeenth is the actual birthday of Disneyland, July seventeenth,
nineteen fifty five. But of course Disney likes to give
(02:14):
you as much celebration time as possible, so they'll start
it early on Friday, the sixteenth of May. So the
biggest thing for you to know now and get ready
for if you are not already prepared for it. Nick
pollio'channe this weekend with Nick on Instagram, you can actually
see I coincidentally have a link there that has all
the details about the seventieth anniversary that I just put
out on my story today. But you can also follow
(02:36):
along and be able to see all the fun and
excitement as it happens. So I've got that also. We're
getting ready right now. We're doing Celebrate soul Fully at
Disneyland mostly actually is in both parks, and that's in
celebration of a lot of Black History Month, and then
we have coming up next Friday. You'll be able to
check out the food and Wine festival because I'll have
all the details about that. In fact, I'll be meeting
(02:58):
with some of the wine makers and some of the
celebrity chefs that'll be there. And then yeah, and then
we'll move into the seventieth Birthday celebration. So but it's funny.
I am decked out in all my goodies, so you'll
be able to see that on social media as well.
But yeah, it was wild and I barely made it
back from Mammoth.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
From snowboard. I saw that people were like snowed in.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
It was there were two avalanches the snow Patrol. Unfortunately
they're fine now, but there are three of them transported
to the hospital there. I got up there on Thursday
and Friday and we were shut down. There were eighteen
miles of the three ninety five that were shut down
between Bishop and Mammoth, so we couldn't even get into town.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
And then once we got.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
There, I yours truly decided to make sure that his
EV was charged up and got that stuck in the snow.
So that was a whole experience. I found out that
Triple A does service you. If you get stuck, they'll
bring a winch out and get your car out.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
But yeah, it was wild.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I've never like, I have seen incredible snow in Mammoth
and up in Big Bear. I've never seen anything like
this before. It was absolute insane and we were staying.
If you're familiar with Mammoth, there are several lodges, Eagle Lodge,
Canyon Lodge, Main Lodge. We were near Canyon, which is
one of the most popular ones. We were able to
watch all these things happening. We could see the avalanche
when it had came down, like we could see everything
from where we were.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It was wild.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Were you ever in fear for your own safety? No,
we were good because we were far enough away. But it
was like we were on the other side of the lodge,
so we could see it coming down the mountain. So
if it did come down all the way and had
it affected the lodge, then it would have been able
to get to us. But it didn't quite make it
all the way down there, so it was a lot.
It was a fun experience, but it's good to be
(04:34):
here with you, and it's good to be here with later.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
With mo Kelly. Let me ask you this, somebody who
going back to Disney for a moment, someone who goes
to Disneyland so often for so many years. Sure, can
it meet your expectations for a seventieth anniversary celebration.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I having been a part of the Walt Disney Company,
and I worked there from ninety eight through two thousand
and three, and I opened New tomorrow Land, and I
the eight and also Plaza in and I was a
part of the expanded resort project of opening Disney Grand
California Hotel and Disney California Adventure all of that. So yes,
can it be done absolutely? And can it be done well? Yes,
(05:13):
because Disney is exceptionally good at doing that. The question
will be when the Walt Disney Company becomes involved, it
becomes a company wide celebration as opposed to just to
our resort or to the wal the Walt Disney World
Resort in Florida, or Disneyland Paris or any of those things.
So it'll be really interesting to see, as we have
(05:35):
observed Disney Plus and all the other different properties within
the Walt Disney Company, how this will be played out.
So what will be returning for the seventieth anniversary Wondrous Journeys,
which is a very popular firework show, which is interesting
to me because predominantly you get a new fireworks show
when a celebration year comes around. In fact, if we
go over to Tokyo Disneyland, which is operated by Oriental
(05:58):
Land and Sea, which is the partnership with the Walt
Disney Company, they have a agreement that every five years,
for every celebration year, they have a brand new parade
and a brand new fireworks extravaganza, something that we used
to have here but we have not seen in a
very very long time. We always get these incredible things
that come back. That's why the electrical parade continues to
come back. Now, Paint the Night will be returning for
(06:19):
the seventieth anniversary. Very excited about that. One of the
most amazing nighttime parades all that back, but we're not
seeing anything brand new now. There will be a new
World of Color inside of Disney California Adventure, so that's exciting.
But that's just one of the two gates, one of
the two parks at the resort, and that's also the
(06:39):
new park, the new gate that's not Disneyland, so Disneyland
is getting some really incredible returning properties, but there's nothing
specifically brand new for the seventieth, so it'd be really
interesting to see because Disney does like to keep things
close to their vest, so there is a very good
likelihood that there's something on the horizon that we have
not seen. But people like me who are good on
(07:01):
the inside track usually find things out and we may
not be able to share those things. I've yet to
hear anything that much I can say, so I don't
know what the seventieth will hold other than having all
these fantastic things that we've experienced and have been gone
for a few years will be coming back. So for me,
it seems that the theme for the seventieth is going
to be nostalgia. I think that's where it's kind of
(07:23):
leaning into that idea. Now, there will be a few
things coming. The most exciting, but we don't have official
word on it is the brand new Walt Disney Audio
Animatronic that will be joining and having a very special
show along with great moments with mister Lincoln on mainstream,
but that will not be opening on the opening weekend. Nosnel, no, no, Well,
(07:46):
it's very odd and this is the thing. So if
you go through the history and you listen to Diane Disney,
who is his daughter, and a couple things. One of
the things that was always very specific is that they
never wanted to create out audio animatronic of Walt, and
now it's happening.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
So I don't know what that is going to look like.
So I think that obviously means the Disney family has
signed off on it, of course, because they're not going
to let you know, Dad being effected in that way
in any way, shape or form. And it's incredible to
think that Walt will hypothetically be walking among us amongst
us once again. But it'll be really interesting to see
(08:24):
what happens, because if you've been to great moments with
mister Lincoln, it's pretty darn impressive that you think you
are looking at Abraham Lincoln. And obviously that is not
the case, because that is the tip top audio animatronic
that's available right now. What is interesting to me is
that with Epic Universe coming to Florida, which will be
opening Memorial Day weekend, right the weekend following the opening
(08:48):
of the seventieth anniversary, Epic Universe will have some of
the absolute state of the art audio animatronics, including in
Dark Universe, which will be Frankenstein and Brider, Frankenstein and
Wolfman and all of the different universal monsters will be
represented in these incredible audiometronics that we've never seen the
(09:08):
likes of.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
So can I compare? Will it compete? We'll find out
when we come back. We'll also find out about this
Krispy Kreme and Hulu dual promotion. We talked about it
earlier in the evening, how they've teamed up for this
special variety pack of assorted flavors and comminations. We'll learn
firsthand whether it's Walla Sharp and I think Andrew Caravelli
(09:32):
tates one and I'm not sure Stefan that you takes
one of the Hulu Krispy Kreme pack. Okay, So we
get some first hand choices about what is good and
what is very good and just moment.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
You're listening to later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty. That's call.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
That's KAFI Lady with Mo Kelly and Nick Poliochny. We
(10:16):
are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app and earlier in
the show we told you about Krispy Kreme and Hulu
how they were teaming up on a new donut collection
inspired by movie theater snacks, and in discussing it, we
were just overcome with this desire to have some Crispy
Kreme donuts. Nick Polio Ketny was listening in at that moment.
(10:38):
He wasn't even officially on the show, and he was
nice enough to leave the studio, get in his car,
go to the other side of Burbank and pick up
a box of glazed donuts just for me, because I
will eat every damn one of them. There are only
maybe four.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Laugh.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I have to talk about how I okay, stop, I
didn't say you. I just said the box only has
four laughs. They could do math though. That's There's a
few other people here and we also got a box
of the Hulu inspired snack donuts as well.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Toilet Sharp, you tried the caramel popcorn donut.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
Yes, what was your review the donut? The makeup of
it was delicious and the filling good. The caramel added
was quite possibly one of the worst ideas Hulu or
Christian Kream has ever come up. Let me say this
real quick.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
It's an unglazed shell donut filled with caramel popcorn flavored
cream filling, dipped in white icing and caramel popcorn, and
topped with red icing drizzles. Continue.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
The caramel popcorn is again the most atrocious addition that
they could ever put. This popcorn tasted like day old,
stale caramel popcorn. Was not a good addition at all.
But the donut itself, it is beautifully made. It almost
(12:06):
looks like a popcorn bucket. So the white and red
drizzle on top, it makes it look like a popcorn bucket.
And the popcorn is like kind of at the top
if you were to look at it face up. But no,
I would never eat that donut again.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Andrew Caravella, you tried the blue Raspberry slush donut, which
is an original glaze donut dipped in blue raspberry flavored
icing and blue sanding sugar.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Yeah, my tongue is still blue right now, so kind
of like if you had an icy Yeah, I mean
it literally tasted like I ate what a unicorn would
throw up.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I just that doesn't sound positive.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Well, I mean, you know unicorns are like rainbows and sparkles, right,
So it was like a glittery kind of flavor. It
wasn't too sweet, and that glittery blue raspberry almost kind
of it's almost like dry jelly. That that's what it
tasted like, like like the filling that you if you
really have a filling and a donut like but it
was tried on top. That's kind of what it tasted like.
(13:02):
But with a blue raspberry type of vibe. It wasn't
too bad. Like if you want to be adventurous, I say,
try it once, but I wouldn't go back and get
it again.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Adventures doesn't sound like an endorsement. Yeah, I'm not. Finally
a reason to go and get a slice of that.
And Stephan, you had the cookie Dough Superstar donut, which
was an unglazed shell donut filled with chocolate butter cream
flavored filling, dipped in chocolate flavored icing, and topped with
gold glitter sprinkles and cookie dough bites. Damn, that sounds
(13:34):
like a lot. It is a lot, and so personally
I liked it because so you bite into it, there's
like little almost like the cookie Crisp Cereal, but even smaller,
like they're like dot sizes and you bite into it
and obviously there's a cream, but it's a chocolate and
the first thought I was like, oh, that might be
a little bit too much sugar, But then I gotta
bite if something else they put like I'm guessing it's
(13:56):
not actually raw, but what tasted like raw cookie dough
bites in of the donut itself.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
It probably was wrong and that set it off. Oh
it was raw cookie though, I can see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
then it was it was that was magical? Whoever thought
of that? That was great?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Magical? Okay, so we have one endorsement, right, yeah, I
would say so I will Yeah, two nay's. And then
what was the the that's what was the candy double
featured donut, which is also stuff Yeah, and original glaze
donut dipped in white icing, topped with milk chocolate candy
pieces and many milk chocolate chips, and drizzled with chocolate
flavored icy My goodness. See I'm biased because there's another
(14:34):
donut place that I used to go to that started
to put like Eminem's on the donut. You put M
and ms on anything like that, you got a winner.
And it's actually it's actually it was funny because aside
from that, it's actually pretty standard of a donut, like,
there's nothing too crazy except the M and ms. So
I think if you want something a little bit out
there but not too much like some of these other ones,
(14:55):
I think that's the one to start with because it's
got the simple flavor and then you get the crunch
from the M and m's. So we have two donuts
thumbs up, two donuts thumbs down, or at least once,
but never again.
Speaker 5 (15:07):
I want to know which ones were the rejected ones.
I didn't make it through marketing. That's what I want
to know.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
In other words, if you said yes to this, what
did you say no to? That's good, That's what I
want to know. No, no, no, we need to go
with the cookie dough superstar donut as opposed to the
blastest one because I just telefilled.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Though I was gonna say so it's gonna be like
Swedish fish or I'm trying.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
To think of all the different things you would get it.
That's not a bad idea to all it if they
would have done the popcorn with the telefilling instead of no.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
Yeah, and I know I had to go and drink
some of that uh cafeteria milk we have over there.
So now my stomach is probably could be just early.
You got the bubble guts, so I had nothing to
do with that part of the show. I just provided
this and that's it. Well, we thank you for street.
(16:00):
Did you try anything yet?
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I haven't tried anything. I had way too much fun
in watching all of you guys do it. I tried
the original glaze, all of them. They're delicious. All the
studio smells amazing. Right now, you won't say that much.
They usually have the law of diminishing returns. Like think
of hot dogs. If eat one hot dog is great,
two pretty good, three not so much. Fourth, Oh, you've
(16:25):
gone too far. It works in the other direction with
the donuts. The first one was good, the second one
was even better, The third one was heaven. The fourth
one was better than sex. Wow, and you heard it here. First, Mike,
go for a fifth?
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Somebody get him?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
So I get it. They always say twice on Tuesday,
how about five times?
Speaker 4 (16:49):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Thank you very much? Nice, there we go. Finally, I
love it. So what were we going to talk about?
Speaker 3 (16:56):
So I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a quick rundown
in the last couple of minutes there before my time
for the show. There's three different art exhibits that are
going down and I've talked about these before with this
Weekend with Nick, but it's really worthwhile if you are
interested in unique art that is being resold here in Hollywood,
so maybe it's from old movie sets or anything to
that effect. Also new art from artists who are either
(17:19):
well established or brand new or never discovered before. So
the three different art shows that actually start tomorrow and
run all the way through Sunday are going to be
the Felix Art Fair, which is at the Whole Hollywood Roosevelt,
and that's a great place to visit just for fun,
and it is free ninety nine to get in, so
it's worth doing that. Obviously, the art pieces themselves are
not but visiting it. Is also at the LA Convention
(17:41):
Center South Hall, starting tomorrow all the way through Sunday
will be the LA Art Show, which is celebrating its
thirtieth year, and that also will have some live demonstrations
of artists that will be painting and sculpting and everything else,
so that's well worth your time.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
And then the other art show.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Or the other art fair is happening also starting tomorrow
through the weekend, and it is over ten thousand artists
that make unique claims to different things. Anyway, this happens
in Atwater Village to much smaller kind of alternative things.
So if you are looking to get ahead of your
spring cleaning and you want to get something new for
your home, this is fantastic, especially because all three of
(18:20):
those events are supporting the efforts for the fires. So
a certain amount of proceeds from every one of those events,
for all the purchases of the art, and some of
the artists themselves are donating additional funds. All that is
going to continue to support those who lost their homes
and the Palisades fire and the Eaten fire over in Altadena.
So it's a really great opportunity for you to get
(18:41):
out and experience something again free ninety nine to get
into those If you're looking for something that's a little
bit different, that is also available, but you're looking for
something that's definitely unique and special. There is a new
art exhibition from a Mister Brilliant that starts tomorrow and
runs all the way through March. That's going to be
more down the anime side of things. And then the
(19:01):
one last thing if you're looking for something to go
in and do before the weekend comes, The California African
American Museum, the cinema there has It Was A All
a Dream, and it's a brand exclusive screening with Free
ninety nine To visit. You just had to RSVP to
the event. This is happening on Thursday seven to nine pm.
(19:22):
You can always you know, listen to Later with Mo
Kelly and then queue up for this. But if you
have not seen It Was All a Dream, it's a
very very interesting, very different It's called a visual memoir
reflecting on the dawn and golden era of hip hop.
But if you don't have a knowledge of that and
you go into it, it is so incredibly well done.
(19:46):
I have seen it before. I have not seen it
in this presentation, but I have seen it before. But
it's got notorious Big Wu Tang's, Methan Man's in it,
Snoop Dogs in it, a whole bunch of other different
performers and a lot of them will actually be there
for the screening on Thursday. So and these are great
things for you to check out this week or heading
into the weekend.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Very nice, Thank you, Nick. You want to hang around
for a little longer.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
I would love to, but if you want to find
out what I'm doing, as always, you can follow me
on Instagram Nick pollio'channy and this Weekend with Nick you
can find out all the details, including on what's coming
up for the seventieth anniversary for Disneyland. Also knots very

is going down, And do not forget that the fan
Fest is coming up for Universal Studios and I will
(20:29):
be there for opening weekend for that, which will be
featuring Back to the Future and Star Trek and so
many other unique properties. So all that and more you
