Speaker 2 (00:06):
It's now it's time for Nick Poliochini. Who's gonna tell
us what's going on?
Speaker 4 (00:10):
What's up? How was the.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Fourth You haven't talked about it? And not that I
didn't get to miss it.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
Missed you. I missed you. And that's what I have
to say.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
First and foremost is if you did not catch the
live broadcast on Friday, I was in Las Vegas celebrating
my anniversion. I was still catching everybody on Instagram live
and everybody that was going on. So I'm so glad
that you guys had it. I had an amazing time
and I missed you a lot. In fact, I brought
your present and I know that you're on this fantastic
being a good boy. And I always bring food and
everybody Carnicia has enjoyed it, and yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
I was. I was doing way too much on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
There's food, yes, Steffan, go out in the I Love
You dinner. I just spent two hours with you. Yeah,
there's there's food on the other room. But here is
a just formo I've got. I don't know, I feel
like I need to be like an influencer. Whatever there is.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
I brought you.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I couldn't bring you cookies and creak because you won't
eat it. But I brought your cookies and cream candle,
so give that a sniff.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Good. I don't have to eat it. No, it smells
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
I don't know if I want my whole house to
smell like it, but it smells legit like I'll let
my office smell it.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Gives you the.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Cookies and cream vibe. But anyway, thank you for having
me here. Had an absolutely amazing time. Let's get into
it for Vegas, and the most exciting thing is the
place that we stayed. In fact, talk to Daniel already
saying that if we could make Chatella Moe move to
Vegas for fourth of July next year, this is the venue.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Let me just say this, and my wife and I
have discussed this. We have not really further inquired sure,
but we're looking in to maybe do it as a
cruise next year. Okay, like a weekend cruise, a two
day time.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I will tell you our tenth anniversary was done and
as much as I loved it, and Brian and had
an incredible time. I missed every moment of the last
several years we've all spent together. So I am on
board with the cruise. I will be the very first
person to sign up right now, and that would be
a way we could entice listeners. Hellll to open it up,
absolutely so, without a question. So if you're watching us
(02:02):
on YouTube following up, mister Mokelly, you already saw little
teas of what I want to talk about. First, the
sky loss at MGM Grand is where we stayed. Now,
if you are one of those people that is not
so keen on Vegas and whatever, well that's too bad.
But I didn't drop a diamond, a slot machine. I
did no type of gambling in any way, shape or form.
I just walked through casino floors. But the sky lofts
at MGM Grand is where we were able to stay
(02:24):
thanks to Chase Ultimate Travel. If you're familiar with the
Chase credit card, we have a Sapphire reserved with them,
and so we knocked out some points and we actually
got to go in the whole high roller lifestyle at
the MGM Grand, which is at four corners at Tropicana
and Las Vegas Bullbard, and we're able to be in
one of the only fifty one suites on the twenty
(02:47):
ninth floor, the very top of the hotel with an
incredible view of the fireworks for the Fourth of July.
So and it's a one bedroom suite. But the only
reason I bring it up is we didn't do anything
to do this other than using points for our credit cards.
And I know a lot of people play the credit
card game in the point game, so it's definitely well
worth it. But you can see we had an amazing
view of New York, New York across the street in
the Cosmopolitan. And if I've lost you because you don't
(03:09):
know what I'm talking about, well I'm really sad and
need to go to Vegas, right. But all those things
so amazing. But we also had so much that we
actually talked about here on the show with What's Up
with Nick or This Weekend with Nick poulio'chini fifteen Minute Footy.
We went to something we talked to a few weeks
ago about that's coming up in Chicago and Philadelphia, which
(03:29):
will be Netflix Houses. There's actually Netflix Bites restaurant which
is inside of MGM Grant and we got a special
opportunity to try out some of the food, all themed,
two different episodes of television and movies and film and
everything from Netflix properties. About eighteen different properties represented. And
here's the biggest thing. A lot of times you do
(03:50):
these pop ups and they're not all that exciting. This
was delicious. The Red Bite Green Bite, which is probably
the most fun, was a wheel that you spun and
it had from Squid Games. It had the uh you
play red Light green Light. It had that you actually
got the statue on your table to play with it,
Oh my gosh. And you got to spin a wheel
(04:11):
and you had three different sauces to choose from. The
green was like an rbaceous, very chill and mellow kind
of a ranch. The yellow was a little bit spicier,
and then the red one just kind of knocked your
socks off. So it was a whole our own version
of Red Light Green Light. But it was great because
we really don't get that opportunity. You can check out
at mister mo Kelly right now. Daniel's got a little
bit of a fly through of what happens for Netflix Bikes.
(04:31):
It's a beautiful space. Everything is well curated for you
to get your Instagram moment in and The best part
of it is it's not crazy breaking the bank pricing.
You'd think, oh, this is gonna be insane, it's gonna
be a couple hundred bucks a person. I think Brian
and I got another about thirty five bucks each. What
ridiculous out that's not encounter right, I was gonna say,
it's not counting the cocktails, which they actually had some
(04:52):
really awesome mocktails because if you know me, I don't drink,
Brian does. I'm the you know, built in dd and
even the mocktails were really fun and they were all
themed to it. One of the coolest things was something
if you follow Love Is Blind, they actually had like
a blind tasting of some different food items and different
cocktails to go along with that series from Netflix.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
So that's something that's cool.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
If you're looking for something a little bit closer to home,
because we do not have a Netflix Bites or we
don't have a Netflix house coming.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
We've have the pop ups in the past.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
You want to go over to the Egyptian Theater in
Hollywood because that is own and operated by Netflix, and
the front store there actually has some really cool vignettes
from Wednesday, the TV series and from stranger things, some
photo ops and they always are changing these these things
out on a regular basis, so I highly recommend checking
out here a little bit closer to home.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
But then also the fourth of July fireworks.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
They're nothing like Chateau Lemo I will tell you you
cannot beat that vantage point absolutely, but being able to
see them shot off from the top of the Augustus
Twert Caesars on the strip. Also Resorts World, they had
it over in Red Rock Canyon. They were all over
Plazant in downtown. You can see it mister Mokelly on
YouTube a little glimpse of a friend of mine who
(06:00):
was filming so that you were able to see exactly
straight across from what it looked like.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
But it was great.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I mean, there was a smaller, more intimate thing, but
we were able to watch it from the twenty ninth
floor of the MGM Grand and that was probably one
of the coolest experiences that we've ever had.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Truly. We got to check out the sphere.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
If you've seen any of the cool things for the sphere,
this sphere is insane up close, and I will have
pictures and video for you of inside and outside at
this Weekend with Nick and Nic Pouliochini on social media.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
But it's insane how huge it is, Like you can't
stadium size.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
It makes Sofi look like nothing to me, and so
Fi you and I know, well, yes, humongous of all
of the pro NFL stadiums. And you can kind of
see right now the inside of it. It literally is
this massive globe that you go in. We saw Postcard
from Earth, which is a special I would say like
an IMAX if you've ever been to an Imax, or
maybe the Rubetage Fleet Center in San Diego. It's that
(06:54):
experience you go in there. It is attuned beautifully sound
and everything else to be able to really thoroughly enjoy
it no matter where you're sitting. So I'm gonna say,
there's those times where you're like, ah, there's not a
bad seat in the house. This genuinely does not have
a bad seat in the house. The seats are all
set up to move with you. You can have there's smells,
there's smoke, there's water. It's very much the four Dy experience.
(07:18):
What's really cool coming up. We're just a few weeks early,
but we may be going back. We'll see the Wizard
of Oz has been remastered for the sphere so that
you're able to actually have a full orchestra that has
performed the entire score from the original film, and they
have remastered it digitally to be specific to this immersive experience,
(07:40):
so you'll be surrounded by Oz when you have that
transition sequence from black and white to color, you experience
it physically in person. So absolutely wild Backstreet Boys are
also going to be coming up there here soon Insomniac
if you're familiar with them, who do a lot of
like the Tomorrowland Raves and everything else. They have a
special partnership coming up. One of the amazing things that
(08:01):
we're able to check out. But I know we gotta
take a quick break. But I got so much more
to fill.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
You in on. Well, let's heart to get the break,
so we get back.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
kf I Am six forty, What's Up?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
What's for you?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Thanks?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Key?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
K IF I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
It's Later with Mo Kelly, Part two of What's Up
with Nick Poliochi go.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I want us do some shout outs really quick to
the mom egos in the chat room because everybody's asking
questions and everything else and wishing happy anniversary, thank you
so much, and complimented me on my light. I guess
I'm looking unusually good to my ring light, So thank
you Daniel for that one. But yeah, pictures don't do
the Sphere justice. Unfortunately, I was looking at Monette. It
(09:07):
looks like you were hoping that the Wizard of Oz
will be coming in its form as I described for
the Sphere. It's only made for the Sphere, so it
will not be coming to southern California, even though we
have similar theaters here. And then somebody had asked, oh,
Aaron had asked specifically, what the Alphabet Mafia and the
Wizard of Oz have so much connection in it? It's
actually Wicked and the Alphabet Mafia. And if you missed
(09:29):
the description from last hour with Twala and Moe and
Mark regarding Superman, you should definitely catch that on the
podcast because that pretty much covers exactly the same reasoning
why Wicked connects with the Alphabet Mafia. So well, so
all right, that's our homework. Let's get back into Vegas.
Yes it is warm, yes it is dry, but it's
absolutely worth it because you can moisturize and be in
(09:50):
air conditioning.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
The entire time and have no idea of the heat.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
What was the temperature hundred and six, which very dry,
So for me, I mean palm springs worse because there's
usually a bit of humidity with that and I'm definitely
not gonna talk about Florida because that's just too much humidity.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
How for No Leans, what's the what's the summers like?
Hot and sweaty?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Okay, definitely, so Vegas is hot and sweaty. But yeah, Anyway,
we had took in shows because you go to Vegas
right to take in shows. We did see Ka by
Sir to sol A at the MGM Grand, which has
been there for over twenty years, which is wild to
think that a lot of these resident shows have been there.
Sir sol which is out of I believe it's Montreal.
(10:34):
It's out of French Canada. Uh, it has a French
Canadian background. Anyway, Ka is at MGM Grand. But you've
got O at Bolagio. So many things absolutely incredible and
they do come regularly. In fact, Echo was just here
at Lagune Hills Mall and you were able to check
that out unfortunately that's the last one, and we had
in the winter, fall and winter last year we had
(10:54):
Kuza over at the Pier in Tanta Monica, so they
always are coming through, so that's an opportunity that you
could be able to to the show. But Spiegel World
is not their competition, but they do a very different job,
a much more intimate job of providing burlesque situations, a
little bit sexier, a little bit more vivacious, if you will,
but still all the artistry in a much more intimate space.
(11:16):
We attended Atomic Saloon at the Venetian, amazing, absolutely well
worth it. They have just opened the Disco, which is
a brand new experience and there's also the Dinah Ross
attached to that one. Obviously, Diana Ross is the kind
of the patron, if you will, patron saint of the restaurant,
so that's a really cool opportunity for you to do.
(11:36):
We also tried Hakkasan, which is a nightclub out of
MGM Grand. We actually went and got a special invitation
to do dim sum with them, and it was amazing,
like just to be in a nightclub with all the
vibes and all the music, and it was obviously a
little bit quieter, but we had dim sum that was delicious,
and then what else do we do? Oh, I will
say this, and I did not tell this to Daniel,
(11:57):
so you don't know all about these details. But we
went to the first or we went to the world's
largest dispensary for cannabis, which is like the argest world's
largest is like one hundred and fifty thousand square feet.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
It's called Planet thirteen. I had.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
It may not be that large, trust me, there's a
lot of embellishment that goes on. But was very unique
and cool about this one, beyond the fact that there
were at least one hundred bar ten bud tenders that
were there to walk through and explain things to you.
The cooler thing if you've ever been curious about marijuana,
I've never been more educated in my life. A lot
of times, if you go to a place a little
(12:33):
bit closer to home, you're going to get a good
deal and you're gonna have your bud tender. Yeah, mean
that kind of concept. This was not that experience. In fact, Marjorie,
funny enough, not related to Bill Handle, but Marjorie was
our bud tender, and she was incredibly knowledgeable and so
much information that she was able to figure out what
strain you wanted and give you the background and how
(12:53):
it would make you feel and everything else. But inside
a Planet thirteen, they actually have a speak easy that
it serves you cocktails and food that are infused with
THC or CBD, and they're incredible. I have not had
a cocktail since twenty seventeen when I quit drinking, but
I did have an Old Fashioned at this event.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
It tasted identical to the best most.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
High end Old Fashion, just had a little bit of
a different experience attached. So it was incredible. It was
absolutely delicious, had the best time. But I think because
I really like to learn a lot about things. I mean,
even though I don't drink anymore, I'm still an eenophile.
I still like wine and learning about wine and everything
else that way. I love spirits. I'm still your go
to somalier if you have questions or if you need
(13:38):
a bartender. I'm really good with mixology, but I just
like to be educating. It was so cool to go
to a space that had so much knowledge about the
different the different dispensaries and the different operations around the world,
and who was developing out marijuana and everything to that effect.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I had no idea. It was all that.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Just it feels so much more like we grew up
in southern California wards, like you just knew the guy
down the street and you would just go by some on
the street corner. And now it's such a different business.
So that was the incredible time he had in Vegas.
To wrap things up a little quick here. I want
to do things that are closer to home that are
going on for us that have just started. So if
you're looking for something this week or this weekend, you've
(14:15):
got the Shakespeare. The free Shakespeare in the Park that's
been happening all started back on the twenty fourth of
June runs through the thirty first of August. This is
a free ninety nine situation. And there are two different
William Shakespeare productions that are being presented right now. It's
Late Love's Labor's Lost and that runs through the twenty
seventh of July, and then the sixth through the thirty
(14:36):
first of August it'll be Doctor Faustus And both of
those are happening Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday Sunday, so Wednesdays
through Sundays at seven pm and it's free and that's
the biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
It's very cool.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
So if you want a really unique, special way to
get an initial introduction to Shakespeare, that's a great opportunity. Also,
the Lost in Dreams and Music Festival is taking place
in la this weekend. Pageant of the Masters and Festival
of the Arts and Laguna Beach is underw as well
as the Sawdust Arts Festival. And yeah, so everybody's kind
of recooping from the fourth of July, like we've already
talked about, but there's still a handful of things that
(15:08):
you can do in and around the south Land and
they can always find all this information at this week
of with Nick and Nick Poliochini. On social media you
can see a tour as Daniel was showing earlier in
the show of exactly what that skyloft looked like at
the MGM Grand And I've also got all sorts of
other tours and so much.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
More to share with you and for you to enjoy
on socials. Good to have you back, brother, We missed
you home.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yes, in fact, I even think Wendy had a cake
or she sent and I feel terrible that I wasn't
there for that, So, and I know somebody else's anniversary
is coming up real soon here in not too long.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Oh oh, I'm off. Yeah about that.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
We'll probably just maybe go to Morton's and just have
a dinner.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
We're real big on not making a big deal.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, but yeah, but I think we should go to
the sky in Long Beach and we can do the
four of us and celebrate. But that's just me and
we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. That's the
story for another day. Thank you so much again. Check
me out this week of a Nick and Nick Polly

Speaker 3 (05:18):
You want to go over to the Egyptian Theater in
Hollywood because that is own and operated by Netflix, and
the front store there actually has some really cool vignettes
from Wednesday, the TV series and from stranger things, some
photo ops and they always are changing these these things
out on a regular basis, so I highly recommend checking
out here a little bit closer to home.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
But then also the fourth of July fireworks.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
They're nothing like Chateau Lemo I will tell you you
cannot beat that vantage point absolutely, but being able to
see them shot off from the top of the Augustus
Twert Caesars on the strip. Also Resorts World, they had
it over in Red Rock Canyon. They were all over
Plazant in downtown. You can see it mister Mokelly on
YouTube a little glimpse of a friend of mine who
(06:00):
was filming so that you were able to see exactly
straight across from what it looked like.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
But it was great.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I mean, there was a smaller, more intimate thing, but
we were able to watch it from the twenty ninth
floor of the MGM Grand and that was probably one
of the coolest experiences that we've ever had.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Truly. We got to check out the sphere.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
If you've seen any of the cool things for the sphere,
this sphere is insane up close, and I will have
pictures and video for you of inside and outside at
this Weekend with Nick and Nic Pouliochini on social media.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
But it's insane how huge it is, Like you can't
stadium size.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
It makes Sofi look like nothing to me, and so
Fi you and I know, well, yes, humongous of all
of the pro NFL stadiums. And you can kind of
see right now the inside of it. It literally is
this massive globe that you go in. We saw Postcard
from Earth, which is a special I would say like
an IMAX if you've ever been to an Imax, or
maybe the Rubetage Fleet Center in San Diego. It's that
(06:54):
experience you go in there. It is attuned beautifully sound
and everything else to be able to really thoroughly enjoy
it no matter where you're sitting. So I'm gonna say,
there's those times where you're like, ah, there's not a
bad seat in the house. This genuinely does not have
a bad seat in the house. The seats are all
set up to move with you. You can have there's smells,
there's smoke, there's water. It's very much the four Dy experience.
(07:18):
What's really cool coming up. We're just a few weeks early,
but we may be going back. We'll see the Wizard
of Oz has been remastered for the sphere so that
you're able to actually have a full orchestra that has
performed the entire score from the original film, and they
have remastered it digitally to be specific to this immersive experience,
(07:40):
so you'll be surrounded by Oz when you have that
transition sequence from black and white to color, you experience
it physically in person. So absolutely wild Backstreet Boys are
also going to be coming up there here soon Insomniac
if you're familiar with them, who do a lot of
like the Tomorrowland Raves and everything else. They have a
special partnership coming up. One of the amazing things that
(08:01):
we're able to check out. But I know we gotta
take a quick break. But I got so much more
to fill.
Speaker 4 (08:05):
You in on. Well, let's heart to get the break,
so we get back.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
kf I Am six forty, What's Up?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
What's for you?
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Thanks?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
What's up?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Key?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
K IF I Am six forty.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
It's Later with Mo Kelly, Part two of What's Up
with Nick Poliochi go.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I want us do some shout outs really quick to
the mom egos in the chat room because everybody's asking
questions and everything else and wishing happy anniversary, thank you
so much, and complimented me on my light. I guess
I'm looking unusually good to my ring light, So thank
you Daniel for that one. But yeah, pictures don't do
the Sphere justice. Unfortunately, I was looking at Monette. It
(09:07):
looks like you were hoping that the Wizard of Oz
will be coming in its form as I described for
the Sphere. It's only made for the Sphere, so it
will not be coming to southern California, even though we
have similar theaters here. And then somebody had asked, oh,
Aaron had asked specifically, what the Alphabet Mafia and the
Wizard of Oz have so much connection in it? It's
actually Wicked and the Alphabet Mafia. And if you missed
(09:29):
the description from last hour with Twala and Moe and
Mark regarding Superman, you should definitely catch that on the
podcast because that pretty much covers exactly the same reasoning
why Wicked connects with the Alphabet Mafia. So well, so
all right, that's our homework. Let's get back into Vegas.
Yes it is warm, yes it is dry, but it's
absolutely worth it because you can moisturize and be in
(09:50):
air conditioning.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
The entire time and have no idea of the heat.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
What was the temperature hundred and six, which very dry,
So for me, I mean palm springs worse because there's
usually a bit of humidity with that and I'm definitely
not gonna talk about Florida because that's just too much humidity.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
How for No Leans, what's the what's the summers like?
Hot and sweaty?
Speaker 3 (10:13):
Okay, definitely, so Vegas is hot and sweaty. But yeah, Anyway,
we had took in shows because you go to Vegas
right to take in shows. We did see Ka by
Sir to sol A at the MGM Grand, which has
been there for over twenty years, which is wild to
think that a lot of these resident shows have been there.
Sir sol which is out of I believe it's Montreal.
(10:34):
It's out of French Canada. Uh, it has a French
Canadian background. Anyway, Ka is at MGM Grand. But you've
got O at Bolagio. So many things absolutely incredible and
they do come regularly. In fact, Echo was just here
at Lagune Hills Mall and you were able to check
that out unfortunately that's the last one, and we had
in the winter, fall and winter last year we had
(10:54):
Kuza over at the Pier in Tanta Monica, so they
always are coming through, so that's an opportunity that you
could be able to to the show. But Spiegel World
is not their competition, but they do a very different job,
a much more intimate job of providing burlesque situations, a
little bit sexier, a little bit more vivacious, if you will,
but still all the artistry in a much more intimate space.
(11:16):
We attended Atomic Saloon at the Venetian, amazing, absolutely well
worth it. They have just opened the Disco, which is
a brand new experience and there's also the Dinah Ross
attached to that one. Obviously, Diana Ross is the kind
of the patron, if you will, patron saint of the restaurant,
so that's a really cool opportunity for you to do.
(11:36):
We also tried Hakkasan, which is a nightclub out of
MGM Grand. We actually went and got a special invitation
to do dim sum with them, and it was amazing,
like just to be in a nightclub with all the
vibes and all the music, and it was obviously a
little bit quieter, but we had dim sum that was delicious,
and then what else do we do? Oh, I will
say this, and I did not tell this to Daniel,
(11:57):
so you don't know all about these details. But we
went to the first or we went to the world's
largest dispensary for cannabis, which is like the argest world's
largest is like one hundred and fifty thousand square feet.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
It's called Planet thirteen. I had.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
It may not be that large, trust me, there's a
lot of embellishment that goes on. But was very unique
and cool about this one, beyond the fact that there
were at least one hundred bar ten bud tenders that
were there to walk through and explain things to you.
The cooler thing if you've ever been curious about marijuana,
I've never been more educated in my life. A lot
of times, if you go to a place a little
(12:33):
bit closer to home, you're going to get a good
deal and you're gonna have your bud tender. Yeah, mean
that kind of concept. This was not that experience. In fact, Marjorie,
funny enough, not related to Bill Handle, but Marjorie was
our bud tender, and she was incredibly knowledgeable and so
much information that she was able to figure out what
strain you wanted and give you the background and how
(12:53):
it would make you feel and everything else. But inside
a Planet thirteen, they actually have a speak easy that
it serves you cocktails and food that are infused with
THC or CBD, and they're incredible. I have not had
a cocktail since twenty seventeen when I quit drinking, but
I did have an Old Fashioned at this event.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
It tasted identical to the best most.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
High end Old Fashion, just had a little bit of
a different experience attached. So it was incredible. It was
absolutely delicious, had the best time. But I think because
I really like to learn a lot about things. I mean,
even though I don't drink anymore, I'm still an eenophile.
I still like wine and learning about wine and everything
else that way. I love spirits. I'm still your go
to somalier if you have questions or if you need
(13:38):
a bartender. I'm really good with mixology, but I just
like to be educating. It was so cool to go
to a space that had so much knowledge about the
different the different dispensaries and the different operations around the world,
and who was developing out marijuana and everything to that effect.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
I had no idea. It was all that.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Just it feels so much more like we grew up
in southern California wards, like you just knew the guy
down the street and you would just go by some on
the street corner. And now it's such a different business.
So that was the incredible time he had in Vegas.
To wrap things up a little quick here. I want
to do things that are closer to home that are
going on for us that have just started. So if
you're looking for something this week or this weekend, you've
(14:15):
got the Shakespeare. The free Shakespeare in the Park that's
been happening all started back on the twenty fourth of
June runs through the thirty first of August. This is
a free ninety nine situation. And there are two different
William Shakespeare productions that are being presented right now. It's
Late Love's Labor's Lost and that runs through the twenty
seventh of July, and then the sixth through the thirty
(14:36):
first of August it'll be Doctor Faustus And both of
those are happening Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday Sunday, so Wednesdays
through Sundays at seven pm and it's free and that's
the biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
It's very cool.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
So if you want a really unique, special way to
get an initial introduction to Shakespeare, that's a great opportunity. Also,
the Lost in Dreams and Music Festival is taking place
in la this weekend. Pageant of the Masters and Festival
of the Arts and Laguna Beach is underw as well
as the Sawdust Arts Festival. And yeah, so everybody's kind
of recooping from the fourth of July, like we've already
talked about, but there's still a handful of things that
(15:08):
you can do in and around the south Land and
they can always find all this information at this week
of with Nick and Nick Poliochini. On social media you
can see a tour as Daniel was showing earlier in
the show of exactly what that skyloft looked like at
the MGM Grand And I've also got all sorts of
other tours and so much.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
More to share with you and for you to enjoy
on socials. Good to have you back, brother, We missed
you home.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yes, in fact, I even think Wendy had a cake
or she sent and I feel terrible that I wasn't
there for that, So, and I know somebody else's anniversary
is coming up real soon here in not too long.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
Oh oh, I'm off. Yeah about that.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
We'll probably just maybe go to Morton's and just have
a dinner.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
We're real big on not making a big deal.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, but yeah, but I think we should go to
the sky in Long Beach and we can do the
four of us and celebrate. But that's just me and
we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. That's the
story for another day. Thank you so much again. Check
me out this week of a Nick and Nick Polly
o'keinea on social media and I will catch you with
what's up with Nick next week.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
