Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
And it's time to find out what is going on.
What's up with Nick Poliochini who joins me in the studio.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Nick is good to see you again. So you on Saturday.
I got to see you on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
And if you have not tuned in to Later with
mo Kelly tonight, I found out that I'm a condiment
according to real Mark Ronner. So you have to make
sure that you check out the podcast so you catch that.
So people put you on hot dogs, you can put
me on hot dogs. You can put me on toast.
You can spread mews to that one.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
That's your own business, all right.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
So going to Saturday hop Keto Invitational was incredible. So
is the SoCal hop Keto Invitational. The first one. I
have never experienced hapkto before. I have seen karate like
you were talking about with the Karate kid before, never
seen hot keto. Absolutely an incredible experience. If you have
not seen a I don't know exhibition, a.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Confistration turn it. But it was even cooler.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
On top of it was then because now real quick,
just to pull back shirt. Hopketo is based in Korean
culture correct, correct, as opposed to U karate is Japanese correct, Okay,
I just want to make sure everybody understands that. So
we saw an exhibition from a group of incredible young
people that was showing some of the arts and the
performing culture of Hapkto as well, I'm sorry of the
(01:24):
Korean culture as well.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
That was Cape, a Korean American youth performing artists.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
So it was well worth the five dollars when we
talked about it last week. You got to see Mokelly,
who did not get to see much of it himself,
only orchestrating, m seeing, refing, you name it. He was
calling the shots. It was incredible, but it was so
much fun. So thank you again for having me out.
But it was a great opportunity again one of those
last call, not quite free ninety nine, but five bucks
(01:49):
to see an incredible Pilar shows. It was a real
show and it was really really impressive from the eighty
bitty mini little teeny tiny little guys and girls all
the way up through.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You know, and the black were kicking assames.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
They really were, and especially some of the exhibitions with
the knives and the difference.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Knives gun defense. I'm thinking in short stick defense, right.
I saw it was really really good. So anyway, that
was incredible. Good to be here.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
What I want to talk about is what's happening for
me tomorrow and Friday and Saturday here in the Southlands
and tomorrow. If you happen to be going to Disneyland,
you can be a part of this as well. So
this is something that Gary Hoffman from the Gary and
Shannon Show here on KF and I are very much into.
And it is the Savannah Bananas, which is banana Ball
(02:38):
out of Georgia, and they are actually going to be
doing Savannah Banana Days at Disneyland. So if you're not
familiar with the origin of Banana Ball and Savannah Bananas.
Back in twenty fifteen, Minor League baseball left Savannah, Georgia,
and after ninety years leading Grayson Stadium without a team,
Jesse Cole and his wife Emily arrived with the ambitious
goal of making baseball fun again and reviving the stadium spirit.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Long story short, it is.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
This absolutely incredible two hour limit game that has a
very strict set of roles. No stepping out of the
batter's box, no bunting, doing so actually gets you ejected from.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
The game, so we't showing it right now on you.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yes, if you want to see a new act factor,
you can actually see Mickey Mouse and Jesse right now.
The man in the yellow tuxedo. He very much reminds
me of Curious George and the Man in the yellow hat.
But this is a slightly dressed up version. But yeah,
this is something that is so unique. And so it
is four teams in the Banana Ball League currently. It
started out with Savannah Bananas and their arch rivals, the
Party Animals. Also they have added the Firefighters and the
(03:37):
Tailgaters to it. Allegedly, all four teams in Banana Ball
will be at Disneyland tomorrow and I will be finding
it out because I will be leaving here getting a
nap as I was just talking about with stuff fush
and getting up at five am and over to the
Disneyland resort to enjoy a lot of that. But if
you have not seen the Savannah Bananas or the Party Animals,
or the firefighters or the Tailgaters, then you've been living
(03:59):
under rock. Because this is the for me, the epitome
of what baseball is meant to be. This is America's pastime,
and these are incredibly talented athletes, predominantly men, but they're
also gone co ed in the last couple of years,
since twenty fifteen, so there are quite a few really
talented former Olympian women from the women's softball team they
(04:22):
also are playing. So it's a really really fun thing.
But I've never I mean, tickets are only forty bucks
per seats and I'm going to bed and even if
you wanted the high end version, seventy five dollars. And
they're going to be performing here performing what am I saying?
Playing at Anaheim Stadium, so Angel Stadium over in Anaheim,
and then they will be back in September and they'll
(04:44):
be down at Petco Park in San Diego.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
So those are the two local ones.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
But last season Gary Hoffman even found tickets for one
of the resailers and literally hopped on a plane and
flew up to either Sacramento or Santa Clair. I don't
remember where they were performing or playing. It is kind
of a performance. That's why I'm getting it a little
bit tongue tig here, because these guys sing, they dance,
they perform, and they're incredible athletes you've got right now,
one of the players is actually on stilts. If you're
(05:09):
watching YouTube right now, you can see exactly how fit
these guys are. So if you're into that kind of thing,
I don't know. I'll look in the chat in a minute.
But these guys really put it out there, and they're
equally as talented as major League baseball players, if not.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I used to have abs like that. I have no
doubt my minds that see.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I tell you it was nineteen ninety It was when
I tested for my black belt to tile this together,
So it was nine twenty seven, ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
That's what I last had a six pack, and that
was the initial because your fifth degree? Correct?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
So was that at fifth degree or is that your
original black Yeah, but you think that your fifth degree?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Now that's wild.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yes, it's been a lot of injuries and workouts in return,
but you know, flowing down in my old age on.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
You know, you're compared to some of the other people
in this building, you look fantastic. I appreciate it. Yeah,
it's hard to get out of the bed and more
I'm not sure no, I feel that.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
But so anyway, if you want to see any of
this fun and excitement going down at Disneyland. If you're
not already have a reservation, there are still tickets available
if you're going to Disneyland. Uh, the game on Friday
and Saturday are both sold out, so you might be
able to find some resale tickets sold They sold out
just like you were talking, like in minutes. So this
is such a popular thing, and I think it really
(06:23):
That's why I say it really is the best representation
of quote unquote America's favorite pastime, baseball, because they play
their hearts out, but they're also so versatile in the
creativity that goes into it. So it's it's something that's
very unique and different. If you want to see all
the fun and excitement going down to Disneyland or this
Friday and Saturday over at Anaheim Stadium, always check out
(06:44):
Nick Pouliochanni and this weekend with Nick on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
And this has gotten Oh my goodness, no, it's wild,
Like it is one hundred percent well worth checking out.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I can't you couldn't pay me to get on stills
and then try to swing a bat and hit a
ball and run down the baselines.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Well, the funniest part is so this and I don't.
I apologize. I do not remember this player's name, but
I do remember his story. Look on YouTube. He went
and try it out, just like you would any type
of baseball, any type of sports. He tried out for
the team and he was solid, but he wasn't great.
He didn't shine, and they asked, well, do you have
any special traits? He goes walk on stilts and they said, well,
(07:20):
can you hit a ball on stilts? And he said,
I don't know, let's try it. So they literally and
that's his claim to fame. And so now he literally
is with the Savannah Bananas, travels all around the country.
And this, to me, the easiest description that I haven't
hit on yet. If you love the Harlem Globe Trotters,
which are an incredible ambassador team for basketball, this would
be baseball's version of the Harlem Globetrotters. The difference is
(07:42):
Harlem Globetrotters is one team that takes on other teams.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
No, they take on the Washington Generals. That's it.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Okay, don't ask me how I know that they play
the Washington No.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
So anyway, long story long, Yes, you can check these
guys out They're incredible. Both Savannah Bananas, the party animals,
the firefighters and the tailgaters will all be there. I
love it, even to the point that they're cheerleaders. They
have the Banana Mamas, which are all I believe, over
forty women, hey, and then they have the age group
the man Bannas is the males, and let me tell
(08:18):
you these are Dad bought extraordinary, So all of it's
worth checking out again Nick polio'channy this weekend with Nick
on social media, and then you can also see them
Savannah Bananas, Party Animals, the whole nine on social media
and you can find out the Lincoln bio at Nick
poleio'channy This weekend with Nick.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
It's later with Moll Kelly.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
We'll have more with Nick poulio'channi is as far as
what's up with Nick in just a moment, we're live
on YouTube and I can't stress this enough because the
show is growing by leaps and bounds. If you can
see if Nick is talking about it, then Daniel is
showing you it instantaneously, instantaneously, so you don't have to
wonder about it, you don't have to rush to some
(08:56):
other link to find it. Just come to YouTube at
mister mo Kelly lock us in subscribe like and it
makes it easier for you to join the party each
and every night. It's off the chain in the Motown Chat.
Motown is where we live, evidently.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
In Motown.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yes, I love this, and you can watch the show
as we talk about it. It's not abstract, it's in
real time and it's live on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
We'll do it live. We're doing it live.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
kf I a M six forty.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
What's for You What.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Kf I YouTube, Instagram and the I Heart Radio app.
It's Later with mo Kelly and I'm continue to be
joined in studio by Nick Poliochini.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Nick?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What's up? Brother?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Let's go to San Diego, which I know that so
many people in the chat enjoy when I talk about
San Diego, Orange County, the INLN Empire. I have got
a handful of those things available for you right now.
But the San Diego Zoosa Bary Park, that's where I
took my mom and my nieces this past Sunday for
Memorial Day holiday weekend. And it was incredible and I
had not been there since it used to be called
the Wild Animal Parkark.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, now you're going back to regen what.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I was saying, like, that's how we grew up. So
you had the San Diego Zoo and you had the
San Diego Wild Animal Park, which are both the same company,
both the same family. But a number of years ago
they rebranded the San Diego Zoosa Bary Park in Escondido,
so North County, San Diego out the fifteen to the
Spari Park. And it is legitimately that you get so
many opportunities to be able to check out all of
(10:50):
these animals in a very open environment. So while there
is a protection and barriers, you can see if you're
following us on YouTube right now at mister mo Kelly,
you can see there's a between you and the animals
here they get to roam free. And the thing is
the vast majority, if not every single one of the animals,
other than being born in captivity, are all rescues. And
I think that's the biggest thing that's really important is
(11:11):
to hammer home is this isn't people going out and
poaching animals. It's just you know, the same idea with
SeaWorld these days, they're not going out and getting new animals.
They're taking animals in that are rescues. They're taking animals
in that need to be taken care of a lot
of times. It's been a good number of years, but
there was even a period of time for the Wild
Animal Parks, specifically before becoming Safari Park, that they were
(11:33):
actually taking retired Hollywood actors quote unquote animals, you know,
four legged Hollywood actors, and they were being able to
retire there. So if you have not gone, it's really
good now. I was able to get seventy six dollars,
got me season passes for my nieces and they are
six and nine.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
But even for me, it was.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Only it was it was less for me to take
my nieces and my mother and myself and go there
than to go to any of the local theme parks
to us here, and we got to go on the
African Tram, which takes you through the back area in Savannah.
I would say, if you're looking for something new, fun
and different to do for summer, since we're almost there.
I mean we literally came out of a Memorial Day,
(12:11):
which is the unofficial holiday like beginning. This is a
great opportunity for you to go check out because it's
both fun and educational.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I would want to go again because obviously haven't been
since I was a child. Sure, honestly I wouldn't remember it.
I wouldn't recognize any of it. But as we look
at it on YouTube, it looks like a completely different
experience than anything I remember hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
And I think the thing too, especially because both of
my nieces are very into animals. Haley, my eldest that's nine,
she wants to get into equine so she wants to
take care of it horses specifically. And then Ella, who's
my six year old, she specifically is more into the
smaller animals. She was in Heaven with all the small
wild cats because she loves cats in general, domesticated cats collective.
(12:56):
That's but yeah, So I agree with you, having not
been since I was a kid, and going through and
not just experiencing it again for the first time myself
with the new Safari Park and everything else, but then
taking the younger generation and watching it through their eyes.
I have some incredible memories that were made, so it's
definitely like that insight out from Disney.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
It's the core memories that are being made.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
There a couple other things that are coming up this
week and this weekend in the Southland one of my favorites,
which unfortunately because I will be dedicating my time to
the Savannah Bananas. If you didn't catch that part, be
sure to check out the podcast. You should definitely tune
into later the Low Kelly nine o'clock on Tuesdays when
I get to join the team.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
But and we have the YouTube podcast.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
You have the YouTube so you can see the video
component of it too, which is great. But Monster Palooza
is going off this weekend at the Passing and Convention Center.
This is one of the many events that I talk
about because my birthday is Halloween and I'm a big
fan of Halloween, horror and Haunt. But Monster Palooza, what
is even cooler is it's the art of monsters and
movie magic, so it's not just scary things. You actually
(13:57):
get to see some of these incredible industrial light and
magic which used to be part of Lucas Limited. They
always represented there, even the New Iterations and a lot
of the incredibly talented makeup artists that are from that
do show up at this event. So that's well worth
your time to check it out. Relatively and expensive and
it is so incredible, especially if you're looking for something.
(14:19):
This year, they'll be offering the famous Monster Poluzat Museum,
which is going to be featuring a lot of different
private collections of so people who have been in film
or television and they have some of these really epic
masks and everything else. These people are opening up their
homes and letting the collections go to the special museum.
That'll be at Monster Pluza that's in Pasadena at the
(14:40):
Convention Center, And you can still get tickets. Also, we're
coming up on Pride Month, so that is just around
the corner. Out Loud Music Festival.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
We hope.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Pride is happening this weekend at West Hollywood Park And
what this has become more than anything, is a music festival,
a mini version of Coachella. So Saturday it'll be Lizo,
kempetra Uh and a lot of other headliners, and then
on Sunday you've got Remy Wolf, Honey de Jon, and
Paris Hilton. If you're into it, even Rebecca Black will
be there from ants Friday Friday.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Paris was just here a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, I know, that's what I was saying, Like, so
all of this stuff these are going down in West
Hollywood Park or at West Hollywood Park for the Out
Loud Music Festival. And then if you're looking for something
in the Inland Empire, and I'm kind of excited that
I might try to figure out how to get out there,
even though I've got so much going on this week.
The Beaumont Cherry Festival. Never even heard of it until
I was doing a little bit of homework, but it
starts Thursday, runs through Sunday, and it's at Noble Creek
(15:37):
Regional Park out in Beaumont. So Beaumont is pretty much
where the ten and the sixty come together in the
Inland park is that it is Sanbardino County, Correct County, Okay, right,
so Sambardino County, but it's heading out toward Cavazon. So
if you have ever been to any of the KFI
Casino Marongo events, it's closer than that, but you'll be
(15:58):
able to. Family Night is on a Thursday, and so
that is from five until nine pm. Friday is from
five to eleven, Saturday at noon to eleven, and Sunday
from noon to nine again it's in the Ie, so
it's a little warm. It's gonna beautiful weekend, but the
Inland Empire definitely a little bit hotter. The coolest thing
that I saw and I love. If you're familiar, one
of the stations I worked with was ca Cal ninety
(16:20):
six seven k Cal rocks in the Inland Empire, and
I was a part of Stu Tupinian Gjimbo their morning show,
and we got a lot of different artists because we
used to do the ke Cal Caegers and Red Hot
Cholo Peppers. We're one of the artists, so think of
Red Hot Peppers, so think of the Red Hot Chili
Peppers catalog with a Cholo spin. It's an incredible thing
(16:41):
to see. So that's going on on Thursday. You've got
all sorts of different music acts. Eighties Ladies, a female
cover band of eighties music is on Saturday. You've got
a Swift Nation, so a cover band for Taylor Swift
is on Sunday, and so much more. So you can
get details of this and everything else checking out the
(17:01):
Lincoln Bio at Nick Pouliocane This week I'm a Nick
on social media. You can also check the show notes
here for either the YouTube podcast or for the audio
podcast with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
It's perfect. You could check out the YouTube podcast. It
is archived immediately after the show, so you can watch
it whenever you want to watch it. And everything that
you're seeing live right now on YouTube will be there
later for you. No putt intended, and you can find
it and as if we're live in the moment.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
And the biggest thing too, if you do any of
these events I talk about, or there's anything else going
on in the Southland, slide to my DMS, let me
know what's up. I always love checking out new things.
I like finding out different areas for San Diego, Orange County,
Riverside County, San Renino County, ventor you name it. I've
smoking a test cover a lot of ground.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yes you do.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
And it was great seeing you this Saturday. It was
so much fun. Thank you again, and I really had
a great time. Because supporting the local community is something
that we all kind of It got a little rough
around twenty twenty when we had a pandemic and it
was kind of odd. So getting out there and being
a part of the community is so much more important.
I think that's why I was so excited to sit
there with the moms and dads watching their kids compete
(18:10):
or having exhibition game.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
It was amazing and those kids.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Be they the little itty bitties or up through the
twenty somethings, were so incredibly talented. So it really is
well worth. It a very different and unique way to
spend my Saturday.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
So hope to do it again next year. But I
hope to see you again very soon. Oh absolutely, you'll
see me plenty.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
It's Late with mo Kelly. Thank you very much, Nick,
Paula Leucchini. We're live everywhere on YouTube, Instagram, at the

Nick is good to see you again. So you on Saturday.
I got to see you on Saturday.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
And if you have not tuned in to Later with

according to real Mark Ronner. So you have to make
sure that you check out the podcast so you catch that.
So people put you on hot dogs, you can put
me on hot dogs. You can put me on toast.
You can spread mews to that one.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
That's your own business, all right.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
So going to Saturday hop Keto Invitational was incredible. So
is the SoCal hop Keto Invitational. The first one. I
have never experienced hapkto before. I have seen karate like
you were talking about with the Karate kid before, never
seen hot keto. Absolutely an incredible experience. If you have
not seen a I don't know exhibition, a.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Confistration turn it. But it was even cooler.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
On top of it was then because now real quick,
just to pull back shirt. Hopketo is based in Korean
culture correct, correct, as opposed to U karate is Japanese correct, Okay,
I just want to make sure everybody understands that. So
we saw an exhibition from a group of incredible young
people that was showing some of the arts and the
performing culture of Hapkto as well, I'm sorry of the
(01:24):
Korean culture as well.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
That was Cape, a Korean American youth performing artists.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
So it was well worth the five dollars when we
talked about it last week. You got to see Mokelly,
who did not get to see much of it himself,
only orchestrating, m seeing, refing, you name it. He was
calling the shots. It was incredible, but it was so
much fun. So thank you again for having me out.
But it was a great opportunity again one of those
last call, not quite free ninety nine, but five bucks
(01:49):
to see an incredible Pilar shows. It was a real
show and it was really really impressive from the eighty
bitty mini little teeny tiny little guys and girls all
the way up through.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
You know, and the black were kicking assames.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
They really were, and especially some of the exhibitions with
the knives and the difference.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Knives gun defense. I'm thinking in short stick defense, right.
I saw it was really really good. So anyway, that
was incredible. Good to be here.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
What I want to talk about is what's happening for
me tomorrow and Friday and Saturday here in the Southlands
and tomorrow. If you happen to be going to Disneyland,
you can be a part of this as well. So
this is something that Gary Hoffman from the Gary and
Shannon Show here on KF and I are very much into.
And it is the Savannah Bananas, which is banana Ball
(02:38):
out of Georgia, and they are actually going to be
doing Savannah Banana Days at Disneyland. So if you're not
familiar with the origin of Banana Ball and Savannah Bananas.
Back in twenty fifteen, Minor League baseball left Savannah, Georgia,
and after ninety years leading Grayson Stadium without a team,
Jesse Cole and his wife Emily arrived with the ambitious
goal of making baseball fun again and reviving the stadium spirit.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Long story short, it is.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
This absolutely incredible two hour limit game that has a
very strict set of roles. No stepping out of the
batter's box, no bunting, doing so actually gets you ejected from.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
The game, so we't showing it right now on you.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Yes, if you want to see a new act factor,
you can actually see Mickey Mouse and Jesse right now.
The man in the yellow tuxedo. He very much reminds
me of Curious George and the Man in the yellow hat.
But this is a slightly dressed up version. But yeah,
this is something that is so unique. And so it
is four teams in the Banana Ball League currently. It
started out with Savannah Bananas and their arch rivals, the
Party Animals. Also they have added the Firefighters and the
(03:37):
Tailgaters to it. Allegedly, all four teams in Banana Ball
will be at Disneyland tomorrow and I will be finding
it out because I will be leaving here getting a
nap as I was just talking about with stuff fush
and getting up at five am and over to the
Disneyland resort to enjoy a lot of that. But if
you have not seen the Savannah Bananas or the Party Animals,
or the firefighters or the Tailgaters, then you've been living
(03:59):
under rock. Because this is the for me, the epitome
of what baseball is meant to be. This is America's pastime,
and these are incredibly talented athletes, predominantly men, but they're
also gone co ed in the last couple of years,
since twenty fifteen, so there are quite a few really
talented former Olympian women from the women's softball team they
(04:22):
also are playing. So it's a really really fun thing.
But I've never I mean, tickets are only forty bucks
per seats and I'm going to bed and even if
you wanted the high end version, seventy five dollars. And
they're going to be performing here performing what am I saying?
Playing at Anaheim Stadium, so Angel Stadium over in Anaheim,
and then they will be back in September and they'll
(04:44):
be down at Petco Park in San Diego.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
So those are the two local ones.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
But last season Gary Hoffman even found tickets for one
of the resailers and literally hopped on a plane and
flew up to either Sacramento or Santa Clair. I don't
remember where they were performing or playing. It is kind
of a performance. That's why I'm getting it a little
bit tongue tig here, because these guys sing, they dance,
they perform, and they're incredible athletes you've got right now,
one of the players is actually on stilts. If you're
(05:09):
watching YouTube right now, you can see exactly how fit
these guys are. So if you're into that kind of thing,
I don't know. I'll look in the chat in a minute.
But these guys really put it out there, and they're
equally as talented as major League baseball players, if not.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I used to have abs like that. I have no
doubt my minds that see.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I tell you it was nineteen ninety It was when
I tested for my black belt to tile this together,
So it was nine twenty seven, ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
That's what I last had a six pack, and that
was the initial because your fifth degree? Correct?
Speaker 4 (05:39):
So was that at fifth degree or is that your
original black Yeah, but you think that your fifth degree?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Now that's wild.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yes, it's been a lot of injuries and workouts in return,
but you know, flowing down in my old age on.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
You know, you're compared to some of the other people
in this building, you look fantastic. I appreciate it. Yeah,
it's hard to get out of the bed and more
I'm not sure no, I feel that.
Speaker 4 (06:01):
But so anyway, if you want to see any of
this fun and excitement going down at Disneyland. If you're
not already have a reservation, there are still tickets available
if you're going to Disneyland. Uh, the game on Friday
and Saturday are both sold out, so you might be
able to find some resale tickets sold They sold out
just like you were talking, like in minutes. So this
is such a popular thing, and I think it really
(06:23):
That's why I say it really is the best representation
of quote unquote America's favorite pastime, baseball, because they play
their hearts out, but they're also so versatile in the
creativity that goes into it. So it's it's something that's
very unique and different. If you want to see all
the fun and excitement going down to Disneyland or this
Friday and Saturday over at Anaheim Stadium, always check out
(06:44):
Nick Pouliochanni and this weekend with Nick on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
And this has gotten Oh my goodness, no, it's wild,
Like it is one hundred percent well worth checking out.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I can't you couldn't pay me to get on stills
and then try to swing a bat and hit a
ball and run down the baselines.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Well, the funniest part is so this and I don't.
I apologize. I do not remember this player's name, but
I do remember his story. Look on YouTube. He went
and try it out, just like you would any type
of baseball, any type of sports. He tried out for
the team and he was solid, but he wasn't great.
He didn't shine, and they asked, well, do you have
any special traits? He goes walk on stilts and they said, well,
(07:20):
can you hit a ball on stilts? And he said,
I don't know, let's try it. So they literally and
that's his claim to fame. And so now he literally
is with the Savannah Bananas, travels all around the country.
And this, to me, the easiest description that I haven't
hit on yet. If you love the Harlem Globe Trotters,
which are an incredible ambassador team for basketball, this would
be baseball's version of the Harlem Globetrotters. The difference is
(07:42):
Harlem Globetrotters is one team that takes on other teams.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
No, they take on the Washington Generals. That's it.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Okay, don't ask me how I know that they play
the Washington No.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
So anyway, long story long, Yes, you can check these
guys out They're incredible. Both Savannah Bananas, the party animals,
the firefighters and the tailgaters will all be there. I
love it, even to the point that they're cheerleaders. They
have the Banana Mamas, which are all I believe, over
forty women, hey, and then they have the age group
the man Bannas is the males, and let me tell
(08:18):
you these are Dad bought extraordinary, So all of it's
worth checking out again Nick polio'channy this weekend with Nick
on social media, and then you can also see them
Savannah Bananas, Party Animals, the whole nine on social media
and you can find out the Lincoln bio at Nick
poleio'channy This weekend with Nick.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
We'll have more with Nick poulio'channi is as far as
what's up with Nick in just a moment, we're live

show is growing by leaps and bounds. If you can
see if Nick is talking about it, then Daniel is
showing you it instantaneously, instantaneously, so you don't have to
wonder about it, you don't have to rush to some
(08:56):
other link to find it. Just come to YouTube at
mister mo Kelly lock us in subscribe like and it
makes it easier for you to join the party each
and every night. It's off the chain in the Motown Chat.
Motown is where we live, evidently.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
In Motown.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yes, I love this, and you can watch the show
as we talk about it. It's not abstract, it's in

Speaker 3 (09:23):
We'll do it live. We're doing it live.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
kf I a M six forty.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
What's for You What.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Kf I YouTube, Instagram and the I Heart Radio app.
It's Later with mo Kelly and I'm continue to be
joined in studio by Nick Poliochini.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
What's up?
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Nick?
Speaker 3 (10:06):
What's up? Brother?
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Let's go to San Diego, which I know that so
many people in the chat enjoy when I talk about
San Diego, Orange County, the INLN Empire. I have got
a handful of those things available for you right now.
But the San Diego Zoosa Bary Park, that's where I
took my mom and my nieces this past Sunday for
Memorial Day holiday weekend. And it was incredible and I
had not been there since it used to be called
the Wild Animal Parkark.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Yeah, now you're going back to regen what.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I was saying, like, that's how we grew up. So
you had the San Diego Zoo and you had the
San Diego Wild Animal Park, which are both the same company,
both the same family. But a number of years ago
they rebranded the San Diego Zoosa Bary Park in Escondido,
so North County, San Diego out the fifteen to the
Spari Park. And it is legitimately that you get so
many opportunities to be able to check out all of
(10:50):
these animals in a very open environment. So while there
is a protection and barriers, you can see if you're
following us on YouTube right now at mister mo Kelly,
you can see there's a between you and the animals
here they get to roam free. And the thing is
the vast majority, if not every single one of the animals,
other than being born in captivity, are all rescues. And
I think that's the biggest thing that's really important is
(11:11):
to hammer home is this isn't people going out and
poaching animals. It's just you know, the same idea with
SeaWorld these days, they're not going out and getting new animals.
They're taking animals in that are rescues. They're taking animals
in that need to be taken care of a lot
of times. It's been a good number of years, but
there was even a period of time for the Wild
Animal Parks, specifically before becoming Safari Park, that they were
(11:33):
actually taking retired Hollywood actors quote unquote animals, you know,
four legged Hollywood actors, and they were being able to
retire there. So if you have not gone, it's really
good now. I was able to get seventy six dollars,
got me season passes for my nieces and they are
six and nine.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
But even for me, it was.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
Only it was it was less for me to take
my nieces and my mother and myself and go there
than to go to any of the local theme parks
to us here, and we got to go on the
African Tram, which takes you through the back area in Savannah.
I would say, if you're looking for something new, fun
and different to do for summer, since we're almost there.
I mean we literally came out of a Memorial Day,
(12:11):
which is the unofficial holiday like beginning. This is a
great opportunity for you to go check out because it's
both fun and educational.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I would want to go again because obviously haven't been
since I was a child. Sure, honestly I wouldn't remember it.
I wouldn't recognize any of it. But as we look
at it on YouTube, it looks like a completely different
experience than anything I remember hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
And I think the thing too, especially because both of
my nieces are very into animals. Haley, my eldest that's nine,
she wants to get into equine so she wants to
take care of it horses specifically. And then Ella, who's
my six year old, she specifically is more into the
smaller animals. She was in Heaven with all the small
wild cats because she loves cats in general, domesticated cats collective.
(12:56):
That's but yeah, So I agree with you, having not
been since I was a kid, and going through and
not just experiencing it again for the first time myself
with the new Safari Park and everything else, but then
taking the younger generation and watching it through their eyes.
I have some incredible memories that were made, so it's
definitely like that insight out from Disney.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
It's the core memories that are being made.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
There a couple other things that are coming up this
week and this weekend in the Southland one of my favorites,
which unfortunately because I will be dedicating my time to
the Savannah Bananas. If you didn't catch that part, be
sure to check out the podcast. You should definitely tune
into later the Low Kelly nine o'clock on Tuesdays when
I get to join the team.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
But and we have the YouTube podcast.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
You have the YouTube so you can see the video
component of it too, which is great. But Monster Palooza
is going off this weekend at the Passing and Convention Center.
This is one of the many events that I talk
about because my birthday is Halloween and I'm a big
fan of Halloween, horror and Haunt. But Monster Palooza, what
is even cooler is it's the art of monsters and
movie magic, so it's not just scary things. You actually
(13:57):
get to see some of these incredible industrial light and
magic which used to be part of Lucas Limited. They
always represented there, even the New Iterations and a lot
of the incredibly talented makeup artists that are from that
do show up at this event. So that's well worth
your time to check it out. Relatively and expensive and
it is so incredible, especially if you're looking for something.
(14:19):
This year, they'll be offering the famous Monster Poluzat Museum,
which is going to be featuring a lot of different
private collections of so people who have been in film
or television and they have some of these really epic
masks and everything else. These people are opening up their
homes and letting the collections go to the special museum.
That'll be at Monster Pluza that's in Pasadena at the
(14:40):
Convention Center, And you can still get tickets. Also, we're
coming up on Pride Month, so that is just around
the corner. Out Loud Music Festival.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
We hope.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Pride is happening this weekend at West Hollywood Park And
what this has become more than anything, is a music festival,
a mini version of Coachella. So Saturday it'll be Lizo,
kempetra Uh and a lot of other headliners, and then
on Sunday you've got Remy Wolf, Honey de Jon, and
Paris Hilton. If you're into it, even Rebecca Black will
be there from ants Friday Friday.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Paris was just here a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Yeah, I know, that's what I was saying, Like, so
all of this stuff these are going down in West
Hollywood Park or at West Hollywood Park for the Out
Loud Music Festival. And then if you're looking for something
in the Inland Empire, and I'm kind of excited that
I might try to figure out how to get out there,
even though I've got so much going on this week.
The Beaumont Cherry Festival. Never even heard of it until
I was doing a little bit of homework, but it
starts Thursday, runs through Sunday, and it's at Noble Creek
(15:37):
Regional Park out in Beaumont. So Beaumont is pretty much
where the ten and the sixty come together in the
Inland park is that it is Sanbardino County, Correct County, Okay, right,
so Sambardino County, but it's heading out toward Cavazon. So
if you have ever been to any of the KFI
Casino Marongo events, it's closer than that, but you'll be
(15:58):
able to. Family Night is on a Thursday, and so
that is from five until nine pm. Friday is from
five to eleven, Saturday at noon to eleven, and Sunday
from noon to nine again it's in the Ie, so
it's a little warm. It's gonna beautiful weekend, but the
Inland Empire definitely a little bit hotter. The coolest thing
that I saw and I love. If you're familiar, one
of the stations I worked with was ca Cal ninety
(16:20):
six seven k Cal rocks in the Inland Empire, and
I was a part of Stu Tupinian Gjimbo their morning show,
and we got a lot of different artists because we
used to do the ke Cal Caegers and Red Hot
Cholo Peppers. We're one of the artists, so think of
Red Hot Peppers, so think of the Red Hot Chili
Peppers catalog with a Cholo spin. It's an incredible thing
(16:41):
to see. So that's going on on Thursday. You've got
all sorts of different music acts. Eighties Ladies, a female
cover band of eighties music is on Saturday. You've got
a Swift Nation, so a cover band for Taylor Swift
is on Sunday, and so much more. So you can
get details of this and everything else checking out the
(17:01):
Lincoln Bio at Nick Pouliocane This week I'm a Nick
on social media. You can also check the show notes
here for either the YouTube podcast or for the audio
podcast with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
It's perfect. You could check out the YouTube podcast. It
is archived immediately after the show, so you can watch
it whenever you want to watch it. And everything that
you're seeing live right now on YouTube will be there
later for you. No putt intended, and you can find
it and as if we're live in the moment.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
And the biggest thing too, if you do any of
these events I talk about, or there's anything else going
on in the Southland, slide to my DMS, let me
know what's up. I always love checking out new things.
I like finding out different areas for San Diego, Orange County,
Riverside County, San Renino County, ventor you name it. I've
smoking a test cover a lot of ground.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Yes you do.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
And it was great seeing you this Saturday. It was
so much fun. Thank you again, and I really had
a great time. Because supporting the local community is something
that we all kind of It got a little rough
around twenty twenty when we had a pandemic and it
was kind of odd. So getting out there and being
a part of the community is so much more important.
I think that's why I was so excited to sit
there with the moms and dads watching their kids compete
(18:10):
or having exhibition game.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
It was amazing and those kids.
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Be they the little itty bitties or up through the
twenty somethings, were so incredibly talented. So it really is
well worth. It a very different and unique way to
spend my Saturday.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
So hope to do it again next year. But I
hope to see you again very soon. Oh absolutely, you'll
see me plenty.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
