Speaker 1 (00:22):
K if. I'm o Kelly.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Happy Friday to you.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I don't know about you, but I'm very glad that
this week is coming to an end. Let's get to
the weekend. Maybe your Thanksgiving holiday was like mine last week,
full of stuff, full of family, full of drama, and
that didn't count as an actual weekend, even though for
some it was a four day weekend. It wasn't for me,
but for some people it was a four day weekend.
(00:50):
I'm actually looking forward to this weekend one because I
got my house back. I got my whole house back.
I can actually go home and walk around bucket ass naked.
No one can say anything to me. I don't have
to worry about offending anyone, not even my wife. She'll
just have to deal with it. I'm going to walk
around just slang it. Just slang it. Slang, Hi, Mark,
(01:12):
I learned a new word tonight, all right, Yeah, not slanging,
but slanging. I picked the right data show up for words. Yes, yes, hey, honey,
guess what I learned today? That's right time for some
show and tell. I'm quite sure the long suffering one
would appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Oh yeah, emphasis on long. Well, Stephan is not in
the chair yet, so you will not.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Get a rim shot for that. No, no, bell is
totally checked out.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I'm here.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
She's just not acknowledging your sense of human We need
to have a quicker trigger finger on the rim shot there,
Pella Ah, she declined all together, she declined, wasn't about speed,
it was about dislike.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Well, there's no need to start off hostile like that.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I just what did I let's conversation.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, we have this ongoing conversation where Mark seems to
think that he has a sense of humor. I disagree,
And we try to quantify this by the number of
rim shots that we may get in a given show
or a given week.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, please pay careful attention to the host and his ego, there, Bella.
You don't want to miss a word from the two
of them.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Oh see, now see that is just an ad hominem,
not to be confused with humor.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It was a specific well started. I was hoping it
wasn't too subtle. No, subtlety is not. It's not one
of your shortcomings. It's not one of the features of
the show at all.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Hey, Mark, that you are on the mic. You'd probably
appreciate this.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I came across this list of the most and least
expensive California cities for renters, and I'm just going to
beat this drum until it's dead. For all the people
complaining about how high the rent is in California, well
you brought it on yourself once again.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You had every opportunity to have lower rent, but it
keeps going up, up, up up. So let's talk about.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
California's most expensive rental markets to set this show off
on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Coming in at number ten, and this is.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Just average rent, whether it's one, two, three bedrooms, it's
just all together. Freemont average rent of twenty three hundred
dollars per month. Not that anyone wants to live in Fremont,
but it's twenty three hundred a month on average.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Number nine.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Berkeley with an average rent of twenty three hundred and
fifty fifty dollars per month.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It sounds cheap for Berkeley. It does.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It does because the surrounding areas are much more. Number eight,
shout out to Orange County. Santa Ana comes in with
an average rent of twenty three seventy per month. I
wouldn't want to live in Santa Anna. You know, no disrespect.
I'm just saying I wouldn't want to live there, a
(04:06):
little bit disrespect.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Number seven.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Irvine, with an average rent of twenty four hundred per month.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Number six.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Oaktown average rent of twenty four fifty per month.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's that expensive in Oakland.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Irvine and Oakland are comparable as far as average rent,
but more than Berkeley.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Look, but I don't think I'm thinking that Irvine is
probably the better standard of living comparatively speaking between Santa
Anna and Oakland.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Maybe it's gentrification because I'm in Oakland. Yeah, Oakland's like
twenty four to fifty. Not going to get that from me,
Oh my goodness, Oakland. Oh okay. Number five interesting Santa Monica.
I thought Santa Monica would be much higher, only twenty
(05:09):
five hundred dollars per month. Where in Santa Monica, I
have no idea. It must be like under the freeway
or something under the pier. Yeah, scared row in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Number four.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
San Jose has dropped a few spots because I remember
it used to be the most expensive place to rent
in the country. It is now twenty five seventy per month.
San Jose number.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Three, Loelys We come in at number three with an
average rent of twenty nine hundred and eighty three dollars
per month.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
In Los Angeles, more than Irvine.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah yeah, let's all move to Irvine number two, Diego
three and seventy five dollars per month on average thirty
one hundred and seventy five dollars, and coming in at
(06:11):
number one as far as the highest rent on average
in the in the state, San Francisco average rent of
thirty one hundred and sixty eight dollars per month.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
But then there's the other side of the spectrum. We
got a little bit of time.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
San Francisco highest average rent in the state thirty one
sixty eight. Now here are the ten lowest areas cities
to rent here in California. Coming in at number ten is
Citrus Heights.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Where's that? Does anybody know what that is in the
Heights area? Okay? Hacienda that you know? Okay? Maybe all right?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Number nine Clovis. They're not even Clovis. They're not even
worth the damn drum roll. That's like going to Versalia
or Vaselia whatever, same thing. Clovis average of sixteen hundred
and twenty seven dollars per month. Number eight fres No
(07:22):
average rent of fourteen hundred and thirty dollars per month.
Number seven Modesto fifteen hundred and forty six dollars per month.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And if you've.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Noticed anything, these are all places that nobody would ever
want to live. Number six merced with an average rent
of fourteen hundred and eighty one dollars per month. Yes, No,
Number five, and I assume this is way up north,
but Uba City average rent of thirteen seventy five per month.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Number four Baker's, Bama.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Average rent of thirteen teen sixty seven per month. Number
three load I average rent of thirteen hundred and fifty
eight dollars per month. Nobody is moving to Lodie Nobody. Sorry,
if you're listening right now, Load I, I'm just telling
the truth. Number two Turlock average rent of thirteen hundred
(08:20):
and fifty one dollars per month. So if anyone wants
to complain about how high the rent is in California,
there's always a place to live in Turlock and coming
in at number one, the lowest rental market in the state,
(08:45):
with an average rent of eleven hundred and forty two
dollars per month. That is like Oklahoma cheap. That's Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi cheap. You can only find that in California. In
one place Reading that makes sense. And if you can
find yourself a nice remote job, move to Redding. There's
(09:07):
nothing else in Reading. I thought you're gonna say Little Rock, California, whatever, whatever,
it's the same. It looks the same. I think Reading
has more trees. That's about it.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Who wants to move up there? Though? I mean, for
the sake of just lower rep.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
If we had a train system that would go there,
I would, yeah, train back and forth.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
But we don't. We won't, so I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Hey, bubble Burster looks it's reading Reading Turlock, Lodie Baker's Bama,
Yuba City, Merced, Modesto, Fresno, Clovis, Citrus Heights. What do
they all have in common? Nobody wants to live there.
The people who live there don't even want to live there.
They're looking for a place to live in other than
that city. The people in Merced are saying, why don't
(09:52):
we move to Reading? Hell? No, that's as bad as
mer said. No one wants to live in any of
those places. Nobody, not even the people listening right now.
They do not want to live there. Have you met
anybody who wants to live in Lodi? Not since the
Credence song is in clear Water?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah? Which one is that? Load I? This is a
load I song? What is it?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Old Lord?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Stuck and load? I? Again? You don't know what I'm
talking about?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Do you?
Speaker 7 (10:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I don't wow.

so good to see. It's good to see you as well. Okay,
look forward to tune it into what's happening in SOCl Okay,
well let me you've probably been, but don't say nothing.
So for Discover so Cal, I decided that for the
next few weeks, I'm gonna do holiday season esque kind
(11:35):
of adventures since we have you know, a lot of
us have family coming in, friends coming in from different places.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
It's kind of a nice way to go. Okay, what
am I gonna do? Where am I gonna take my family?
Or what can the kids go?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
See?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
So I went to the La Zoo.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
A lot of you have been to the La Zoo,
yes we know, but have you been to the La
Zoo during the holidays? So the holiday season is definitely
in full swing and Los Angeles is the most magical
traditions at the Zoo, which is the La Zoo lights,
the animals a glow, that's what it's called. So this
is a dazzling event. It's running till January seventh, so
(12:14):
you have some time. And it transformed the Los Angeles
Zoo into a breath taking display of illuminated art inspired
by wildlife. Visitors can explore theme sections filled with glowing animals,
immersive light tunnels which are beautiful take pictures, Instagram posts,
and sparkling landscapes that celebrate the beauty of a natural world. Now,
(12:36):
this year's display features several new highlights, including a massive
gorilla made entirely of twinkling lights and kudos to the
people who made this because it's so many lights and
I'm sure it took them so many hours to do,
and an interactive butterfly garden where visitors can flutter into
(12:56):
the magic. Now each evening, the Zoo becomes a wonderland
of color and creativity, offering a unique experience for all ages. Families, couples,
and friends alike. Will be in awe of the artistry
and craftsmanship that have gone into making this year's event
truly unforgettable. Special nights are also part of the festivities,
(13:18):
adding an extra layer of excitement, like Flannel Fridays, which
is aka Pajama Fridays.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Were pajama's all the damn time, now.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Everywhere, I gotta tell you something about a pajama too.
Later invite guests to show off their coziest winter whear
while enjoying exclusive food and drink specials now Meanwhile, Glow
Nights on select weekends features live music and extended hours
to bask and the luminous beauty. And for those looking
for an upscale experience, the Holiday Cheers evenings include complimentary
(13:53):
wine and beer tasting and also don't forget for the kids.
Santa will be visiting through December twenty fourth because he
has so much to do, so get ready to take
pictures and make some holiday wishes as well. The Holiday
Cheer doesn't end with the lights and music. The Lazoo
has gone all out with seasonal treats like gourmet hot
(14:16):
chocolate which was absolutely delicious. I don't know what was
in it, but it was delicious. Holiday cookies and festival
cocktails for adults. A holiday so much to see at
the Lazoo Lights is more than an outing, it's a
complete holiday experience, and for animal lovers, this event is
not just about lights. It's also the opportunity to support
(14:36):
La Zoo's mission of conservation and education. Proceeds from La
Zoo Lights helps fund vital programs to protect endangered species
and their habitats around the globe. And for more information,
you could log onto www dot Lazoo dot org.

Speaker 7 (14:56):
Whether you're looking to create lasting memories or simply soaking
the holiday spirit, La Zoo Lights offers a perfect night
out in Los.

Is December nineteenth, and they're also having a family New
Year's Eve on New Year's Eve, and tickets are a
(15:29):
little pricey. I will say that even though you know
I love free ninety nine Freeski, but prices start from
twenty dollars to thirty two dollars and up wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Wait, we're cheering for the thirty two dollars and up
now I thought it was free ninety nine.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
No, no, unfortunately it's not. But I will highly, highly
highly recommend that when you go to lazoo dot org,
pick your night, pick your weekend.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
You have to have tickets before you go. But it
is beautiful and it's nice.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Also, wear something cozy if you're not going in your
flannel pajamas, and wear good walking shoes because you know,
La Zoo has like that little incline, you know, all
the way up.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
To the hill.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
So it's it's a really nice place. And hopefully I'm
going to try to go next weekend too. I think
it's called the one two three Farm. They're having holiday
lights as well. I've been there for the Lavender festival,
but I would like to go. I've never seen I.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Haven't been to the La Zoo in many decades. You're
giving me more and more reason to go.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I mean, yeah, I don't think that you'll see my
uncles or my aunts there but you but you'll definitely
see some family members of Vine.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Still, I still want to just get back to the Lazo.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
Yes, no, it's you know. They always what I love
about the La Zoo here. Oh, I do have some
fun facts, so check this out.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
A century of history.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Although the current location opened in nineteen sixty six, the
zoo trace its its roots back to nineteen twelve, making
it one of the oldest.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Zoos here in California.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
The La Zoo has also appeared in countless films TV
shows from Anchorman to CSI, and the zoo has placed
a crucial role in saving the California Condor from extinction.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Can you believe that?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I can believe it because I remember studying the California
Condor when I was growing up.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
So yeah, I mean it's a really nice zoo.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
And what I love is that they really take the
proceeds and they really invest in making that zoo better.
And of course the kids love the experience. And especially
now the holidays, you know, we just want to eat
cookies like the ones Nick made, and we want to
see lights and be with our families.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Don't give Nick too much credit. I don't know if
he can cook like okay, okay, but he'll tell us.
If you didn't know, Nick Poliochini is going to be
joining us near the top of the hour to tell
us what's going on with him and what's going on
elsewhere around southern California as well.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
When we come back, we'll have the Hidden Gym for
this week.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Now let's hear about the Hidden Gym for this week
from Nacadela Cruz.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Well, thank you so very much.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Mo.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
So this week is a little bit different.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Normally I highlight one person, but I'm highlighting for women,
and these are the women who started ihands dot org,
which is Indigo Hands. Jennifer Gomez who's the president, Bibiana Munos,
who's the vice president, Anna Burgos who's the treasurer, and
Natividad del Garrido, which is the secretary and public relationship.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
One more time, del no no the whole day, Okay.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Jennifer Gomez, Bibiana Munos, Anna and Vina del Garrio.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Del Gario. Okay.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Well, the story began when Anna, a counselor with la USD,
shared her experiences working with vulnerable students that this discussion
inspired Jennifer and Bibiana, who had previously collaborated on a
sociology club at SEASUN to take action. Their initial efforts
soon grew into a formal initiative when Jennifer met Natividad
(19:05):
at a local law firm. Recognizing the potential to expand
their impact, the teams successfully pitched their vision to the
firm's leadership, securing corporate sponsorships to officially establish Indigo Hands
also known as ihands dot org, back in twenty twenty.
(19:25):
Indigo Hands is a grassroots organization with a heartfelt mission
to create a comprehensive, compassionate experience for students in need,
ensuring they feel seen and supported. At the heart of
the organization, it has its signature Santa Letters initiative. The
program ensures that students receive personal gifts reflecting their specific
(19:47):
wishes rather than generic items. Collaborating closely with LAUSD counselors,
the organization identify students in critical need, foster youth, homeless students,
and unaccompanied minors, and coordinates the collection and distribution of gifts.
Each gift represents a thoughtful response to the students' unique situations,
(20:10):
made possible through public donations and curated Amazon Wishless. Beyond
the Holidays season, Indigo Hands extends its outreach throughout the year,
not just only on the holidays, assisting domestic violence survivors
and families in crisis. Donations, whether monetary or in kind,
are channeled directly into programs that provide essentials like food
(20:31):
vouchers for students in overcrowded living situations. These efforts ensure
that vulnerable children and their families have access to basic necessities,
especially during extended school breaks that sometimes could be up
to three weeks. Indigo Hands thrives on the generosity of
its supporters. Individuals, small businesses, and corporations contribute by donating funds, items,
(20:54):
and time. Every dollar donated to Indigo Hands goes directly
to the students they serve, underlining the organization's commitment to
transparency and impact. The team's dedication resonates deeply within the community,
offering hope and tangible support to those facing the harshest
challenges and as a Holidays approach, Indigo Hands remains steadfast
(21:18):
in its mission to bring joy and relief to students
and families and needs, and through innovative programs and heartfelt
community engagement, they continue to make a profound difference in
Los Angeles. And if you would like to see the
Santa letters, you could go online and read them yourself,
or you could also donate it at ihands dot org.
(21:38):
That's the letter I hands dot org. And I just
want to talk a little bit about my experience with
this organization because I thought of them this week because
I got an email kind of a reminder and I
donated my time last year with ihands dot org, and
I made blankets my friend and Jennifer Warber, who you
(22:01):
met a while back. Her and I donated our time.
She donated some gifts and I donated. We both donated
our time, and we made blankets and we wrapped gifts
and had I got talked to got to talk to
Nativida del Ladrigo, who was so sweet and so kind,
and she told me her kind of her grassroots and
the way she started this organization with the other ladies,
(22:24):
Jennifer and Bibiana and Anna, and I just love what
they do for their community. And I do understand that
both of them, there's two of them that are sister
in laws. So it is a wonderful organization, wonderful wonderful
women and they really really do care about the community.
And you know when when she was talking to me,
(22:44):
she was saying that it's so heartfelt because some of
these kids don't have even enough food to eat during
the holidays. Some of them live in a one bedroom
apartment with ten people in them. And when you're off
of an extended school break anywhere between two to three
weeks and you don't have food, it could be a
little bit, you know, straining on a child, and you
(23:06):
know what it does for them too, mentally and physically.
So if you have a moment, I would definitely love
and want to inspire you to log onto ihands dot org.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I love the Santa letters.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
I do.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I do too, not that they're.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Going to get a response, but they're going to get
a personalized response acknowledging what they were asking for.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Correct. I just remember as a kid, that would have
meant the world. It just would have. I'm looking looking
at the TV right now.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
They have Roodolph the Red Nose Reindeer on on the NBC,
and I know how important this time can be for children.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
It is you know a lot of I think, especially
with little children, and my child has grown now, But
I love the sense of belief. I love the sense
of magic. I also love the sense of you know,
of just innocence, you know what I mean. I think
innocence is just so beautiful, And even though you want
(24:06):
to keep it with them forever, you know, eventually they're
going to grow up and they're going to make their
own decisions. But you hope that one day what you've
instilled in your child, that one day, when they become parents,
it'll be the cycle, you know what I mean. So,
like I've always said, you know, we give them roots
and wings, and we want their children or our grandchildren
(24:27):
to believe as well.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
In this age, I honestly believe that children almost do
not have a period of innocence. They're inundated with too much,
too fast, too heavy to adult in many ways. So
anytime that we can find these little spaces or places
for kids to remain kids on them all for So
(24:49):
when you talk about Iehands dot Org and how they're
doing these Santa letters to if anything, extend the childhood
of children all around Los Angeles County, I'm all for it.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
I was going through a TikTok rabbit hole of I
love elf on the shelf, on the shelf, and I
love the parents who have, you know, talk to little
Timothy or Phoebe whatever they call their elf on the
shelves and you know, gave them some ideas wink wink
and so forth. And I just love that innocence, and
(25:24):
I love the book, and I love the creativity, and
I love how parents get involved. And you know, even
when maybe Grandpa dresses up as Santa or so for
the little ones, it's just it's beautiful and it's magical,
and it's the season, and it's really sometimes not what's
under the tree, it's who's around the tree.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
That is a perfect way to end the segment. It's
not necessarily what's under the tree, but who's around the tree?
Not Dela Cruz very quickly tell everyone about Frequent Sheet.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Oh yes, Frequent She podcasts.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
You could listen on either iTunes or Spotify fr e
q U E N s h E. You could also
find us on Instagram same thing, Frequency Underscore podcast. And
I think we're gonna probably record maybe three more episodes
and then we'll just kind of shut down for the year,
because you know, Amy has kids and they're gonna be
(26:16):
out for a while, so I looked forward to that
and you could also find me on Instagram at Nautica
de la Cruise. I do answer your messages and to
the people who have you know followed me from a
Later with mo Kelly, thank you so very much.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
I really do appreciate you, and.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
We appreciate you. Not a good dayly cruise. When we
come back, it's to run a report.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI a M six forty.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Mark talks about pontificates about pop culture.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Ronner Report with Mark Ronner.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I'm Mark Runner and tonight I'm the Runner Report, a
new segment that we're calling did you understand the original
thing you're ruining? I don't have any music for it
yet and we may need a fine tune the title,
but let's just dive right in here. The first eight
episodes of Day of the Jackal. The series are on
Peacock now two to go and the green lit a
second season, and yes Peacock still exists.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Here's a bit of the trailer.
Speaker 11 (27:30):
Ah Man works alone, an exceptional assassin. It never looks
the same way twice. I know I can find him and.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Sad and.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
That's probably plenty. The original Jackal movie came out in
nineteen seventy three, before you were probably born, and it
was based on a book published in nineteen seventy one,
and that book story was set in nineteen sixty three,
and it was about the assassination, the attempted assassination of
Charles de Gaull, who was Charles de Gaull. He was
the president of France from nineteen fifty nine to sixty nine.
(28:29):
There well be no test later. Kind of a big deal, though,
and killing a president was a big deal back then
when the book was written. JFK's assassination was still what
you'd call a sore spot for most of us. So
the original movie came on the seventy three. A fairly
worthless remake with Bruce Whitless and Richard Gear and Sidney
Pottier came out in nineteen ninety seven. No need to
bother with that one. In fact, I believe the author,
(28:51):
Frederick Forsyth and the others involved in the first movie
disowned that remake and generally regarded as just a steam
and fudgeloaf this story. It's an action thriller and this
kind of spy stuff is like crack to me. I
don't know about you most, so of course I'm gonna
watch it. I'm going to go in and at least
take it for a test drive. I know, stereotypical, dude,
(29:11):
but at least I don't watch a lot of sports.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
In the original Jackal, pretty much an exact ow knife
and some glue would get you a good way into
any spy mission or switching identities. The new Jackal is
set in the present day, which is cool. Assassinations are
a whole lot harder than they were a half century
ago because of smartphone surveillance, DNA, the Internet, countless other things.
And the Jackal's not going after the President of France.
(29:36):
He's going after a made up, fictional tech mogul who's
about to introduce some kind of new technology that makes
finances transparent everywhere for everyone, and some powerful people with
shady finances don't want that, so they bring in the Jackal.
I don't know if they intended for it to be topical,
but if you look on Twitter about the mentions of, say,
getting rid of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, it seems
(29:59):
awfully timely to me. Instead of the best detective in France.
Like in the original, the person chasing the Jackal is
a youngish black woman working for England's mi I six.
That's Lashawna Lynch who was in the Last Bond movie
and Eddie Redmain's The Jackal slick production globe trotting cool locations.
Here's what makes this show terrible and why you should
(30:19):
skip it. Ooh No, it is padded out with the
private lives of the Jackal and of the cop, which
totally ruins the Enigma and almost everything about the original movie.
The Jackal has a wife and toddler's son and the
wife's family, and by god, they're digging into what the
Jackal does at home. It's excruciating. I want to confront
(30:41):
the people who watch this and ask did you understand
what you watched? The Jackal is a ruthless, resourceful, unknown,
total enigma, and showing his irritating home life and his
irritating family just ruins the character. It makes him ordinary.
Now he's a henpeck dude who just can't tell his
wife about his time op secret job. Gee, we've never
(31:01):
seen that before. Oh, and we get the Jackal's origin,
which we absolutely one hundred percent did not need Hey,
he was a military sniper who knew great. It adds nothing.
It got me thinking about an old DC comic character
that I used to like when I was a kid,
called the Phantom Stranger. You're familiar with him, Phantom Stranger,
Fedora Kloak. It's kind of all in the name, mysterious
(31:23):
supernatural character been around a long time. At one point,
DC thought it was a good idea to give the
Phantom Stranger an origin story, In fact, more than one.
If I remember, and I thought, do you understand your
own property? Do you understand his name? He's not the
relatable Stranger, He's the Phantom Stranger. And this isn't the
Jackal next door. This isn't the day spa with the Jackal.
(31:45):
We also get to see the cop Lashawna Lynch having
domestic arguments with her woos academic knit tie wearing husband.
Why do we need to see this? Did you understand
what you watch? My god? My god? Is this the
remedial version for the slow case's They took something extraordinary
and enigmatic and made it more ordinary by eliminating all
(32:05):
the enigmas, prosaic, tedious. If you could somehow watch say,
a five episode version of the Day of the Jackal
instead of ten minus all this painfully bad dramestic drama.
And believe me, these arguments are so awful they could
have been in The Walking Dead. You'd have a terrific
show if he cut it in half, cut all that
stuff out. Even Redmain grow on me when he's just
(32:26):
silently going about his business. Edward Fox from the original
was kind of a blandly aristocratic, handsome dude. Redmin's got
a real distinctive reptilian look that I think works in
a different way for the character. If you're all familiar,
or rather if you're not familiar with the Jackal source
material the book.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I read the book, you might.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Just find the show okay, some aspects better than others,
not a classic. If you love The Jackal, you'll wish
you could make someone pay for botching this assignment. Now,
one other thing, and then I want to bring moment
on this. The Agency is new. It's another spy thriller series,
another remake that's on Showtime with Michael Fassbender as a
deep undercover agent called home from his assignment. Here's a
(33:07):
little bit of that trailer too, ah, Dad.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
I'm happy you're back.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
Did you like s what hostages or bind nuclear weapons?
Do you kill people?
Speaker 1 (33:17):
By job?
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Laxiia just to go undercover, make contacts and see if
the new information that could be useful.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
So you left us for six years to make friends,
you prefer I kill people.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
That's probably enough of that after being on the field
for six years. This agent's got to come back to
work in the office now. That's timely too. They want
everybody back in the office lately, even spies. He's got
a teen daughter who doesn't love the fact that he's
been absent because his job comes first. There's a situation
with another undercover agent who may have blown his cover
and gotten arrested, putting lots of secret crap at risk,
(33:53):
and the woman he was involved with in his undercover
life happens to be in the city where he's stationed now,
and the flesh is weak. Richard Gere's the boss A
couple layers above Fastbender. Completely randomly, while I was watching this,
I realized, oh god, gear looks a lot like Tommy
Tubberville in his old age, and that kind of yanked
me right out of the show for a while. The
Agency is not action. It's not explosions or extreme stunt
(34:17):
type of show, and neither is the original. The Agency
is a remake of an outstanding French series from just
a few years ago called The Bureau or Le Bureau
de Legen's legends being the phony identities that undercover agents
construct for themselves. Smart, totally absorbing show Bran five seasons
really captures the paranoia and head games and methodical nature
(34:39):
of that kind of work. The Agency is a really
close remake. In fact, it's the same show with different
people in it. Maybe a hair more atmospheric production, maybe not.
Though it's so close, you got to wonder, why not
just watch The Bureau.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It's the same show. Well, because USA, USA.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Okay, you can't expect number one Americans watch some French
show and to read on top of it insult to injury,
right there. Americans have the natural born, god given right
not to give a fly in f about other countries.
As everyone knows we are the center of the universe.
They turn out some good stuff in France, though, and
I'm not just talking about the s Garghoes. The star
(35:18):
of the Bureau is Matthew Kassovitz. You might remember him
from starring an Amily. He's also a very accomplished director.
He's known for a super movie called Lehane which translates
into hate, and a terrific serial killer detective thriller called
The Crimson Rivers with Genrena as the detective. Remember this
Vincent Castle as his partner. It's like these crafty French
(35:38):
looked at what we were doing with this genre and said,
you're a child, now watch what we do. Likewise, the
Bureau with Cassowitz is the Agent is damn near in
the league with the Wire as a great TV series
for adults. Watch The Agency at home on your Freedom TV.
Then track down the Bureau and watch it in shame
like a filthy trader, like one of them educated Coastal elites.
(36:02):
Read the subtitle that's your runner report.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Mom.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Let me just say I don't disagree with anything you said.
I'm just less emotionally impacted by the things that you
disliked about Day of the Jackal. Here's what I mean.
I agree with you. I didn't care about seeing the
backstory to Lashawna Lynch's character, or that her husband was
in his second marriage, or they're fighting about this that,
(36:27):
or the other That took me out of it. But
I reasoned it this way. It felt like they had
to deliver ten episodes, So they had to deliver ten episodes,
and they would give us this filler unnecessarily. I would
have rather knowing less about the Jackal.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Let us have that mystique. Yeah, we're saying the same thing,
and I'm glad you think so. Have you seen the
original nineteen seventy three movie, Yes, parts of it.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
I have to rewatch it because I don't remember it
because it was so long ago.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
It's a classic.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
It's a masterpiece, and you know, the two are different,
so not all the plot points are the same. And
I'm gonna spoil what a fifty one year old movie
for you. At the end of that movie, the cop
is just standing by the jackals unmarked grave. The story
goes all the way to the end and nobody ever
finds out who he is or anything about him. And that,
to me was one of the things that made him memorable.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Yes, Yes, and I eddie Redmain's character the way they
started from the first episode. He's like a machine. He
is devoid of emotion, he does not care about life.
He's a true psychopath. And then to show his pressure
point with his family. It's just like, Okay, he's just
he's not even a true serial killer. He's not even
(37:41):
true psychotic sniper, you know, a gun for hire. We
know all of his motivations, we know why he's doing everything,
and I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
No.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
No, at some point I realized, you know what, if
you changed the soundtrack and put in a laugh track here,
some of these scenes would play way different.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
They just don't need to be in this.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Like I said, it's about half good, but the half
good is really good. Even the title sequence looks like
it would be from a Bond one.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yes, the title sequence is fantastic. It's one of those
things I do not skip over. I want to see
it each and every time. I think it's good enough
for me to get to the end, which for me
is fine because this is Peacock.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I am not looking for.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
The greatest television ever, but it's better than a lot
of the stuff that's out there. So I'm not going
to I'm not going to let perfect be the enemy
of the good here. I think it's good.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yeah, I agree, So one half recommendation and then two
other bonus ones. There's your report when we come back.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Nick Poleochini is back and he's joining us in studio.
Speaker 9 (38:43):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 10 (39:17):
This weekend is hopping Ridney Collyochinny, So tell us what's doing?
Speaker 1 (39:25):

Okay?
Speaker 8 (39:52):
If I am six forty more stimulating talk, what's up?
Is Nick poliochan And it's good to be home again
with you here on Later with mo Kelly. And it's
good to be home truly, it's wonderful to be back again.
And I am checking in because I want to give
you a little bit of Instead of just this weekend
with Nick, I'm going to give you this holiday season
(40:13):
with Nick pollio'channey and kind of give you a little
bit of a preview of some of the things that
you can do. Natica kicked us off with what she
does best here now taking over my slot this year
in twenty twenty four, I got a pleasure of starting
out the inaugural season with Later with Mo Kelly here
and doing this Weekend with Nick polio'channi and have done
podcasts and in conversation and so many incredible things. In fact,
(40:35):
I want to give you a couple of updates on
some of the new things that I've been able to do,
but also give you some teases of things that you
can do for the holiday season that are coming up
here in the Southland right now. So one of the
coolest things actually, if you check out Nick pollio'keani or
this Week of a Nick on Instagram, you can see
some of the things I did today. Specifically, one is
going on at Westminster, mal And I know we've talked
(40:56):
about it here on KFI and we talk about it
a lot, but things have really changed in the last
few years of how we consume products and how we
go Shopping at Amazon is so easy, at Walmart dot
Com and target the app and is so easy.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
But going to a mall and being able to.
Speaker 8 (41:12):
Experience the shopping world is a different ballgame now. And
going to Westminster Mall just off the four or five
at Bolsa, if you're familiar, just in Orange County, it's
so quiet there and right now you can go and
experience something that's been around for over forty five years.
It is called the Sugar Plum Festival and it is
going on right now through the ninth. It is free
(41:32):
ninety nine to a ten, which you know, we absolutely
love here with this weecoming Nick Pauliochini, there we.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Go, Thank you, Steffoush.
Speaker 8 (41:39):
But it is a gathering of a lot of really
really talented artisans and a couple of them I want
to talk about and you've heard here tonight from Nautica
talking about the cookies that we're in studio because you
know as Stuffoosh talks about it. I am the soccer
mom of Later with Mo Kelly, and I bring orange
slices and juice boxes and so tonight actually brought some
(42:00):
cookies from Emerald Sweets. Emerald Sweets is actually Lily Eisman.
She is the ocy Cookie Lady and she works out
of a kitchen in Santa Ana and so the cookies
tonight are from her kitchen. You'll be able to check
those out on social media again, Nick poulio'channy in this
week O and Nick, But the kitchen sat cookies are
the favorites.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
I think.
Speaker 8 (42:18):
Also the most exciting one is Rachel and I got
to see her and she was one of the very
first companies that we featured on This Week with Nick
Pouliochanney here on Later with Mo Kelly back at the
beginning of the show, when Later with Mo Kelly started
back in twenty twenty three. She has Pop Pop Pacific
Ocean Park Candy out of Santa Monica. She's now at Airwan.
(42:41):
She is at Whole Foods and she has one of
most least favorite kind of concepts of sweet and sat
and savory, and so she has rosemary almonds butter candy
that's over here.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
That's delicious. It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 8 (42:56):
She made sure to send some of that for you
most specifically, so Ray Well, thank you so much. But
sugar Plum Festival has been around for over forty five
years free ninety nine. It's a great opportunity we just
because a small Business Saturday is the Saturday after Thanksgiving
does not mean you should not go out and support
small businesses in our neighborhoods, because that is really the
(43:18):
most important thing, is to be able to pour money
back into our own neighbor's pockets and being able to
help out our communities, because it's really important. It's super
important to be able to not just support each other,
you know, emotionally, mentally, but physically and helping out each
other's pocketbooks and a few extra bucks and you know,
skip the Target and skip the Walmart and being able
to do those things. But anyway, all right, So that's
(43:40):
a bit of that. A couple more things you can
check out that are happening this weekend. Unique Worlds, which
is a rebranding of unique La which I've talked about here,
also is going on tomorrow. I will be there as
well as on Sunday. That is happening. You can get
details at this weekend with Nick and Nick Pauli o'channey
on Instagram. Another really cool opportunity for you to check
(44:01):
out some fun and exciting things that you can buy
to support really talented artists, jewelry makers, clothing artisans, yes,
and being able to really find some unique special things.
Also coming up beginning on the twelfth at the Queen
Mary in Long Beach, they you're gonna have twelve days
of Christmas. And then to wrap up three ninety nine,
(44:22):
one of my favorite things that you can do in
and round southern California is going to be all the
Festival of Light things that are happening. A couple of
things you can do Sleepy Hollow down in the South
Bay in the Torrents area, and then also you can
do Candy Cane Lane.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
In the Woodland Hills area.
Speaker 8 (44:35):
So that's a bit of this holiday season with Nick
Polly o'canney, a little bit of a quicker ex well,
you know, a shorter version and a bridge version of
this week with Nick Poliocanne here on later with Mokelly.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
You're not going to be a stranger, are you. Oh no, No,
I'm not gonna be a stranger.
Speaker 8 (44:49):
In fact, you might be seeing me a little bit
more regularly here on later with lo Kelly through the
other year, Damn ran a little bit of a different version.
So I look forward to hanging out more regularly with
the Lader, the mo Kelly Crew.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (45:05):
We follow the news.
Speaker 8 (45:07):
You follow us K, S, i K O
Speaker 7 (45:11):
S, t h D two, Los Angeles, Orange County, Live
everywhere on the radio
K if. I'm o Kelly.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Happy Friday to you.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I don't know about you, but I'm very glad that
this week is coming to an end. Let's get to
the weekend. Maybe your Thanksgiving holiday was like mine last week,
full of stuff, full of family, full of drama, and
that didn't count as an actual weekend, even though for
some it was a four day weekend. It wasn't for me,
but for some people it was a four day weekend.
(00:50):
I'm actually looking forward to this weekend one because I
got my house back. I got my whole house back.
I can actually go home and walk around bucket ass naked.
No one can say anything to me. I don't have
to worry about offending anyone, not even my wife. She'll
just have to deal with it. I'm going to walk
around just slang it. Just slang it. Slang, Hi, Mark,
(01:12):
I learned a new word tonight, all right, Yeah, not slanging,
but slanging. I picked the right data show up for words. Yes, yes, hey, honey,
guess what I learned today? That's right time for some
show and tell. I'm quite sure the long suffering one
would appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Oh yeah, emphasis on long. Well, Stephan is not in
the chair yet, so you will not.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Get a rim shot for that. No, no, bell is
totally checked out.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I'm here.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
She's just not acknowledging your sense of human We need
to have a quicker trigger finger on the rim shot there,
Pella Ah, she declined all together, she declined, wasn't about speed,
it was about dislike.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Well, there's no need to start off hostile like that.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
I just what did I let's conversation.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Well, we have this ongoing conversation where Mark seems to
think that he has a sense of humor. I disagree,
And we try to quantify this by the number of
rim shots that we may get in a given show
or a given week.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, please pay careful attention to the host and his ego, there, Bella.
You don't want to miss a word from the two
of them.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Oh see, now see that is just an ad hominem,
not to be confused with humor.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It was a specific well started. I was hoping it
wasn't too subtle. No, subtlety is not. It's not one
of your shortcomings. It's not one of the features of
the show at all.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Hey, Mark, that you are on the mic. You'd probably
appreciate this.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I came across this list of the most and least
expensive California cities for renters, and I'm just going to
beat this drum until it's dead. For all the people
complaining about how high the rent is in California, well
you brought it on yourself once again.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You had every opportunity to have lower rent, but it
keeps going up, up, up up. So let's talk about.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
California's most expensive rental markets to set this show off
on a Friday.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Coming in at number ten, and this is.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Just average rent, whether it's one, two, three bedrooms, it's
just all together. Freemont average rent of twenty three hundred
dollars per month. Not that anyone wants to live in Fremont,
but it's twenty three hundred a month on average.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Number nine.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Berkeley with an average rent of twenty three hundred and
fifty fifty dollars per month.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It sounds cheap for Berkeley. It does.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It does because the surrounding areas are much more. Number eight,
shout out to Orange County. Santa Ana comes in with
an average rent of twenty three seventy per month. I
wouldn't want to live in Santa Anna. You know, no disrespect.
I'm just saying I wouldn't want to live there, a
(04:06):
little bit disrespect.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Number seven.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Irvine, with an average rent of twenty four hundred per month.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Number six.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Oaktown average rent of twenty four fifty per month.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
It's that expensive in Oakland.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Irvine and Oakland are comparable as far as average rent,
but more than Berkeley.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Look, but I don't think I'm thinking that Irvine is
probably the better standard of living comparatively speaking between Santa
Anna and Oakland.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Maybe I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Maybe it's gentrification because I'm in Oakland. Yeah, Oakland's like
twenty four to fifty. Not going to get that from me,
Oh my goodness, Oakland. Oh okay. Number five interesting Santa Monica.
I thought Santa Monica would be much higher, only twenty
(05:09):
five hundred dollars per month. Where in Santa Monica, I
have no idea. It must be like under the freeway
or something under the pier. Yeah, scared row in Santa Monica.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Number four.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
San Jose has dropped a few spots because I remember
it used to be the most expensive place to rent
in the country. It is now twenty five seventy per month.
San Jose number.
Speaker 6 (05:34):
Three, Loelys We come in at number three with an
average rent of twenty nine hundred and eighty three dollars
per month.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
In Los Angeles, more than Irvine.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yeah yeah, let's all move to Irvine number two, Diego
three and seventy five dollars per month on average thirty
one hundred and seventy five dollars, and coming in at
(06:11):
number one as far as the highest rent on average
in the in the state, San Francisco average rent of
thirty one hundred and sixty eight dollars per month.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
But then there's the other side of the spectrum. We
got a little bit of time.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
San Francisco highest average rent in the state thirty one
sixty eight. Now here are the ten lowest areas cities
to rent here in California. Coming in at number ten is
Citrus Heights.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Where's that? Does anybody know what that is in the
Heights area? Okay? Hacienda that you know? Okay? Maybe all right?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Number nine Clovis. They're not even Clovis. They're not even
worth the damn drum roll. That's like going to Versalia
or Vaselia whatever, same thing. Clovis average of sixteen hundred
and twenty seven dollars per month. Number eight fres No
(07:22):
average rent of fourteen hundred and thirty dollars per month.
Number seven Modesto fifteen hundred and forty six dollars per month.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
And if you've.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Noticed anything, these are all places that nobody would ever
want to live. Number six merced with an average rent
of fourteen hundred and eighty one dollars per month. Yes, No,
Number five, and I assume this is way up north,
but Uba City average rent of thirteen seventy five per month.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Number four Baker's, Bama.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Average rent of thirteen teen sixty seven per month. Number
three load I average rent of thirteen hundred and fifty
eight dollars per month. Nobody is moving to Lodie Nobody. Sorry,
if you're listening right now, Load I, I'm just telling
the truth. Number two Turlock average rent of thirteen hundred
(08:20):
and fifty one dollars per month. So if anyone wants
to complain about how high the rent is in California,
there's always a place to live in Turlock and coming
in at number one, the lowest rental market in the state,
(08:45):
with an average rent of eleven hundred and forty two
dollars per month. That is like Oklahoma cheap. That's Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi cheap. You can only find that in California. In
one place Reading that makes sense. And if you can
find yourself a nice remote job, move to Redding. There's
(09:07):
nothing else in Reading. I thought you're gonna say Little Rock, California, whatever, whatever,
it's the same. It looks the same. I think Reading
has more trees. That's about it.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Who wants to move up there? Though? I mean, for
the sake of just lower rep.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
If we had a train system that would go there,
I would, yeah, train back and forth.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
But we don't. We won't, so I don't.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Hey, bubble Burster looks it's reading Reading Turlock, Lodie Baker's Bama,
Yuba City, Merced, Modesto, Fresno, Clovis, Citrus Heights. What do
they all have in common? Nobody wants to live there.
The people who live there don't even want to live there.
They're looking for a place to live in other than
that city. The people in Merced are saying, why don't
(09:52):
we move to Reading? Hell? No, that's as bad as
mer said. No one wants to live in any of
those places. Nobody, not even the people listening right now.
They do not want to live there. Have you met
anybody who wants to live in Lodi? Not since the
Credence song is in clear Water?
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Yeah? Which one is that? Load I? This is a
load I song? What is it?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Old Lord?
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Stuck and load? I? Again? You don't know what I'm
talking about?
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Do you?
Speaker 7 (10:18):
No?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I don't wow.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
I like CCR well and FUSH is completely checked out.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I say it's gonna be one of them nights. Tonight.
Speaker 8 (10:27):
We're just leaning down the road in a test on autopilot.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
All of us are asleep, like it's the movie Vacation
and we're gonna burst into flames apparently.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Okay, why don't we just d the segment and start
a new next segment. This is Later with mo Kelly

Speaker 9 (10:45):
You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.

Thank god, it's Ki mo Kelly.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app on this Friday,
and that means it's Friday nights with not a good deal.
Speaker 7 (10:59):
Of ooh TG if mo. Okay, before I do Discover
so Cal. What are those cookies? Am I getting sidetracked?
Speaker 5 (11:07):
What are they doing there? I haven't been offered any
what are they made of?
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Well, that's Nick Poliochini's doing, and he'll let us know.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
You're more than welcome to enjoy them if you like,
but you won't. You won't get to find out more
about them until the backside of the hour. Hey everybody, okay, okay,
so good to see. It's good to see you as well. Okay,
look forward to tune it into what's happening in SOCl Okay,
well let me you've probably been, but don't say nothing.
So for Discover so Cal, I decided that for the
next few weeks, I'm gonna do holiday season esque kind
(11:35):
of adventures since we have you know, a lot of
us have family coming in, friends coming in from different places.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
It's kind of a nice way to go. Okay, what
am I gonna do? Where am I gonna take my family?
Or what can the kids go?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
See?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
So I went to the La Zoo.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
A lot of you have been to the La Zoo,
yes we know, but have you been to the La
Zoo during the holidays? So the holiday season is definitely
in full swing and Los Angeles is the most magical
traditions at the Zoo, which is the La Zoo lights,
the animals a glow, that's what it's called. So this
is a dazzling event. It's running till January seventh, so
(12:14):
you have some time. And it transformed the Los Angeles
Zoo into a breath taking display of illuminated art inspired
by wildlife. Visitors can explore theme sections filled with glowing animals,
immersive light tunnels which are beautiful take pictures, Instagram posts,
and sparkling landscapes that celebrate the beauty of a natural world. Now,
(12:36):
this year's display features several new highlights, including a massive
gorilla made entirely of twinkling lights and kudos to the
people who made this because it's so many lights and
I'm sure it took them so many hours to do,
and an interactive butterfly garden where visitors can flutter into
(12:56):
the magic. Now each evening, the Zoo becomes a wonderland
of color and creativity, offering a unique experience for all ages. Families, couples,
and friends alike. Will be in awe of the artistry
and craftsmanship that have gone into making this year's event
truly unforgettable. Special nights are also part of the festivities,
(13:18):
adding an extra layer of excitement, like Flannel Fridays, which
is aka Pajama Fridays.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Were pajama's all the damn time, now.
Speaker 7 (13:28):
Everywhere, I gotta tell you something about a pajama too.
Later invite guests to show off their coziest winter whear
while enjoying exclusive food and drink specials now Meanwhile, Glow
Nights on select weekends features live music and extended hours
to bask and the luminous beauty. And for those looking
for an upscale experience, the Holiday Cheers evenings include complimentary
(13:53):
wine and beer tasting and also don't forget for the kids.
Santa will be visiting through December twenty fourth because he
has so much to do, so get ready to take
pictures and make some holiday wishes as well. The Holiday
Cheer doesn't end with the lights and music. The Lazoo
has gone all out with seasonal treats like gourmet hot
(14:16):
chocolate which was absolutely delicious. I don't know what was
in it, but it was delicious. Holiday cookies and festival
cocktails for adults. A holiday so much to see at
the Lazoo Lights is more than an outing, it's a
complete holiday experience, and for animal lovers, this event is
not just about lights. It's also the opportunity to support
(14:36):
La Zoo's mission of conservation and education. Proceeds from La
Zoo Lights helps fund vital programs to protect endangered species
and their habitats around the globe. And for more information,
you could log onto www dot Lazoo dot org.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
That's Lazoo dot org.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
Whether you're looking to create lasting memories or simply soaking
the holiday spirit, La Zoo Lights offers a perfect night
out in Los.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Angeles, so get your tickets this weekend.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
This weekend starting today, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is the
Holiday Pajama weekend. The Pride Night is on December eleventh,
the holiday Happy Hour with ugly holiday sweaters. You have
to wear an ugly holiday sweaters. We all have one somewhere.
Is December nineteenth, and they're also having a family New
Year's Eve on New Year's Eve, and tickets are a
(15:29):
little pricey. I will say that even though you know
I love free ninety nine Freeski, but prices start from
twenty dollars to thirty two dollars and up wait, wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Wait, we're cheering for the thirty two dollars and up
now I thought it was free ninety nine.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
No, no, unfortunately it's not. But I will highly, highly
highly recommend that when you go to lazoo dot org,
pick your night, pick your weekend.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
You have to have tickets before you go. But it
is beautiful and it's nice.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
Also, wear something cozy if you're not going in your
flannel pajamas, and wear good walking shoes because you know,
La Zoo has like that little incline, you know, all
the way up.
Speaker 5 (16:07):
To the hill.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
So it's it's a really nice place. And hopefully I'm
going to try to go next weekend too. I think
it's called the one two three Farm. They're having holiday
lights as well. I've been there for the Lavender festival,
but I would like to go. I've never seen I.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Haven't been to the La Zoo in many decades. You're
giving me more and more reason to go.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
I mean, yeah, I don't think that you'll see my
uncles or my aunts there but you but you'll definitely
see some family members of Vine.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Still, I still want to just get back to the Lazo.
Speaker 7 (16:38):
Yes, no, it's you know. They always what I love
about the La Zoo here. Oh, I do have some
fun facts, so check this out.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
A century of history.
Speaker 7 (16:46):
Although the current location opened in nineteen sixty six, the
zoo trace its its roots back to nineteen twelve, making
it one of the oldest.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
Zoos here in California.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
The La Zoo has also appeared in countless films TV
shows from Anchorman to CSI, and the zoo has placed
a crucial role in saving the California Condor from extinction.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Can you believe that?
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I can believe it because I remember studying the California
Condor when I was growing up.
Speaker 5 (17:16):
So yeah, I mean it's a really nice zoo.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
And what I love is that they really take the
proceeds and they really invest in making that zoo better.
And of course the kids love the experience. And especially
now the holidays, you know, we just want to eat
cookies like the ones Nick made, and we want to
see lights and be with our families.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Don't give Nick too much credit. I don't know if
he can cook like okay, okay, but he'll tell us.
If you didn't know, Nick Poliochini is going to be
joining us near the top of the hour to tell
us what's going on with him and what's going on
elsewhere around southern California as well.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
When we come back, we'll have the Hidden Gym for
this week.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Now let's hear about the Hidden Gym for this week
from Nacadela Cruz.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Well, thank you so very much.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Mo.
Speaker 5 (18:01):
So this week is a little bit different.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
Normally I highlight one person, but I'm highlighting for women,
and these are the women who started ihands dot org,
which is Indigo Hands. Jennifer Gomez who's the president, Bibiana Munos,
who's the vice president, Anna Burgos who's the treasurer, and
Natividad del Garrido, which is the secretary and public relationship.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
One more time, del no no the whole day, Okay.
Speaker 7 (18:31):
Jennifer Gomez, Bibiana Munos, Anna and Vina del Garrio.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Del Gario. Okay.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Well, the story began when Anna, a counselor with la USD,
shared her experiences working with vulnerable students that this discussion
inspired Jennifer and Bibiana, who had previously collaborated on a
sociology club at SEASUN to take action. Their initial efforts
soon grew into a formal initiative when Jennifer met Natividad
(19:05):
at a local law firm. Recognizing the potential to expand
their impact, the teams successfully pitched their vision to the
firm's leadership, securing corporate sponsorships to officially establish Indigo Hands
also known as ihands dot org, back in twenty twenty.
(19:25):
Indigo Hands is a grassroots organization with a heartfelt mission
to create a comprehensive, compassionate experience for students in need,
ensuring they feel seen and supported. At the heart of
the organization, it has its signature Santa Letters initiative. The
program ensures that students receive personal gifts reflecting their specific
(19:47):
wishes rather than generic items. Collaborating closely with LAUSD counselors,
the organization identify students in critical need, foster youth, homeless students,
and unaccompanied minors, and coordinates the collection and distribution of gifts.
Each gift represents a thoughtful response to the students' unique situations,
(20:10):
made possible through public donations and curated Amazon Wishless. Beyond
the Holidays season, Indigo Hands extends its outreach throughout the year,
not just only on the holidays, assisting domestic violence survivors
and families in crisis. Donations, whether monetary or in kind,
are channeled directly into programs that provide essentials like food
(20:31):
vouchers for students in overcrowded living situations. These efforts ensure
that vulnerable children and their families have access to basic necessities,
especially during extended school breaks that sometimes could be up
to three weeks. Indigo Hands thrives on the generosity of
its supporters. Individuals, small businesses, and corporations contribute by donating funds, items,
(20:54):
and time. Every dollar donated to Indigo Hands goes directly
to the students they serve, underlining the organization's commitment to
transparency and impact. The team's dedication resonates deeply within the community,
offering hope and tangible support to those facing the harshest
challenges and as a Holidays approach, Indigo Hands remains steadfast
(21:18):
in its mission to bring joy and relief to students
and families and needs, and through innovative programs and heartfelt
community engagement, they continue to make a profound difference in
Los Angeles. And if you would like to see the
Santa letters, you could go online and read them yourself,
or you could also donate it at ihands dot org.
(21:38):
That's the letter I hands dot org. And I just
want to talk a little bit about my experience with
this organization because I thought of them this week because
I got an email kind of a reminder and I
donated my time last year with ihands dot org, and
I made blankets my friend and Jennifer Warber, who you
(22:01):
met a while back. Her and I donated our time.
She donated some gifts and I donated. We both donated
our time, and we made blankets and we wrapped gifts
and had I got talked to got to talk to
Nativida del Ladrigo, who was so sweet and so kind,
and she told me her kind of her grassroots and
the way she started this organization with the other ladies,
(22:24):
Jennifer and Bibiana and Anna, and I just love what
they do for their community. And I do understand that
both of them, there's two of them that are sister
in laws. So it is a wonderful organization, wonderful wonderful
women and they really really do care about the community.
And you know when when she was talking to me,
(22:44):
she was saying that it's so heartfelt because some of
these kids don't have even enough food to eat during
the holidays. Some of them live in a one bedroom
apartment with ten people in them. And when you're off
of an extended school break anywhere between two to three
weeks and you don't have food, it could be a
little bit, you know, straining on a child, and you
(23:06):
know what it does for them too, mentally and physically.
So if you have a moment, I would definitely love
and want to inspire you to log onto ihands dot org.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
I love the Santa letters.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
I do.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
I do too, not that they're.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Going to get a response, but they're going to get
a personalized response acknowledging what they were asking for.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Correct. I just remember as a kid, that would have
meant the world. It just would have. I'm looking looking
at the TV right now.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
They have Roodolph the Red Nose Reindeer on on the NBC,
and I know how important this time can be for children.
Speaker 7 (23:44):
It is you know a lot of I think, especially
with little children, and my child has grown now, But
I love the sense of belief. I love the sense
of magic. I also love the sense of you know,
of just innocence, you know what I mean. I think
innocence is just so beautiful, And even though you want
(24:06):
to keep it with them forever, you know, eventually they're
going to grow up and they're going to make their
own decisions. But you hope that one day what you've
instilled in your child, that one day, when they become parents,
it'll be the cycle, you know what I mean. So,
like I've always said, you know, we give them roots
and wings, and we want their children or our grandchildren
(24:27):
to believe as well.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
In this age, I honestly believe that children almost do
not have a period of innocence. They're inundated with too much,
too fast, too heavy to adult in many ways. So
anytime that we can find these little spaces or places
for kids to remain kids on them all for So
(24:49):
when you talk about Iehands dot Org and how they're
doing these Santa letters to if anything, extend the childhood
of children all around Los Angeles County, I'm all for it.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Absolutely.
Speaker 7 (25:02):
I was going through a TikTok rabbit hole of I
love elf on the shelf, on the shelf, and I
love the parents who have, you know, talk to little
Timothy or Phoebe whatever they call their elf on the
shelves and you know, gave them some ideas wink wink
and so forth. And I just love that innocence, and
(25:24):
I love the book, and I love the creativity, and
I love how parents get involved. And you know, even
when maybe Grandpa dresses up as Santa or so for
the little ones, it's just it's beautiful and it's magical,
and it's the season, and it's really sometimes not what's
under the tree, it's who's around the tree.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
That is a perfect way to end the segment. It's
not necessarily what's under the tree, but who's around the tree?
Not Dela Cruz very quickly tell everyone about Frequent Sheet.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
Oh yes, Frequent She podcasts.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
You could listen on either iTunes or Spotify fr e
q U E N s h E. You could also
find us on Instagram same thing, Frequency Underscore podcast. And
I think we're gonna probably record maybe three more episodes
and then we'll just kind of shut down for the year,
because you know, Amy has kids and they're gonna be
(26:16):
out for a while, so I looked forward to that
and you could also find me on Instagram at Nautica
de la Cruise. I do answer your messages and to
the people who have you know followed me from a
Later with mo Kelly, thank you so very much.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
I really do appreciate you, and.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
We appreciate you. Not a good dayly cruise. When we
come back, it's to run a report.
Speaker 9 (26:38):
You're listening to Later with mo Kelly on demand from
KFI a M six forty.
Speaker 10 (26:50):
Mark talks about pontificates about pop culture.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Ronner Report with Mark Ronner.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I'm Mark Runner and tonight I'm the Runner Report, a
new segment that we're calling did you understand the original
thing you're ruining? I don't have any music for it
yet and we may need a fine tune the title,
but let's just dive right in here. The first eight
episodes of Day of the Jackal. The series are on
Peacock now two to go and the green lit a
second season, and yes Peacock still exists.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Here's a bit of the trailer.
Speaker 11 (27:30):
Ah Man works alone, an exceptional assassin. It never looks
the same way twice. I know I can find him and.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Sad and.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
That's probably plenty. The original Jackal movie came out in
nineteen seventy three, before you were probably born, and it
was based on a book published in nineteen seventy one,
and that book story was set in nineteen sixty three,
and it was about the assassination, the attempted assassination of
Charles de Gaull, who was Charles de Gaull. He was
the president of France from nineteen fifty nine to sixty nine.
(28:29):
There well be no test later. Kind of a big deal, though,
and killing a president was a big deal back then
when the book was written. JFK's assassination was still what
you'd call a sore spot for most of us. So
the original movie came on the seventy three. A fairly
worthless remake with Bruce Whitless and Richard Gear and Sidney
Pottier came out in nineteen ninety seven. No need to
bother with that one. In fact, I believe the author,
(28:51):
Frederick Forsyth and the others involved in the first movie
disowned that remake and generally regarded as just a steam
and fudgeloaf this story. It's an action thriller and this
kind of spy stuff is like crack to me. I
don't know about you most, so of course I'm gonna
watch it. I'm going to go in and at least
take it for a test drive. I know, stereotypical, dude,
(29:11):
but at least I don't watch a lot of sports.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
In the original Jackal, pretty much an exact ow knife
and some glue would get you a good way into
any spy mission or switching identities. The new Jackal is
set in the present day, which is cool. Assassinations are
a whole lot harder than they were a half century
ago because of smartphone surveillance, DNA, the Internet, countless other things.
And the Jackal's not going after the President of France.
(29:36):
He's going after a made up, fictional tech mogul who's
about to introduce some kind of new technology that makes
finances transparent everywhere for everyone, and some powerful people with
shady finances don't want that, so they bring in the Jackal.
I don't know if they intended for it to be topical,
but if you look on Twitter about the mentions of, say,
getting rid of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, it seems
(29:59):
awfully timely to me. Instead of the best detective in France.
Like in the original, the person chasing the Jackal is
a youngish black woman working for England's mi I six.
That's Lashawna Lynch who was in the Last Bond movie
and Eddie Redmain's The Jackal slick production globe trotting cool locations.
Here's what makes this show terrible and why you should
(30:19):
skip it. Ooh No, it is padded out with the
private lives of the Jackal and of the cop, which
totally ruins the Enigma and almost everything about the original movie.
The Jackal has a wife and toddler's son and the
wife's family, and by god, they're digging into what the
Jackal does at home. It's excruciating. I want to confront
(30:41):
the people who watch this and ask did you understand
what you watched? The Jackal is a ruthless, resourceful, unknown,
total enigma, and showing his irritating home life and his
irritating family just ruins the character. It makes him ordinary.
Now he's a henpeck dude who just can't tell his
wife about his time op secret job. Gee, we've never
(31:01):
seen that before. Oh, and we get the Jackal's origin,
which we absolutely one hundred percent did not need Hey,
he was a military sniper who knew great. It adds nothing.
It got me thinking about an old DC comic character
that I used to like when I was a kid,
called the Phantom Stranger. You're familiar with him, Phantom Stranger,
Fedora Kloak. It's kind of all in the name, mysterious
(31:23):
supernatural character been around a long time. At one point,
DC thought it was a good idea to give the
Phantom Stranger an origin story, In fact, more than one.
If I remember, and I thought, do you understand your
own property? Do you understand his name? He's not the
relatable Stranger, He's the Phantom Stranger. And this isn't the
Jackal next door. This isn't the day spa with the Jackal.
(31:45):
We also get to see the cop Lashawna Lynch having
domestic arguments with her woos academic knit tie wearing husband.
Why do we need to see this? Did you understand
what you watch? My god? My god? Is this the
remedial version for the slow case's They took something extraordinary
and enigmatic and made it more ordinary by eliminating all
(32:05):
the enigmas, prosaic, tedious. If you could somehow watch say,
a five episode version of the Day of the Jackal
instead of ten minus all this painfully bad dramestic drama.
And believe me, these arguments are so awful they could
have been in The Walking Dead. You'd have a terrific
show if he cut it in half, cut all that
stuff out. Even Redmain grow on me when he's just
(32:26):
silently going about his business. Edward Fox from the original
was kind of a blandly aristocratic, handsome dude. Redmin's got
a real distinctive reptilian look that I think works in
a different way for the character. If you're all familiar,
or rather if you're not familiar with the Jackal source
material the book.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I read the book, you might.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Just find the show okay, some aspects better than others,
not a classic. If you love The Jackal, you'll wish
you could make someone pay for botching this assignment. Now,
one other thing, and then I want to bring moment
on this. The Agency is new. It's another spy thriller series,
another remake that's on Showtime with Michael Fassbender as a
deep undercover agent called home from his assignment. Here's a
(33:07):
little bit of that trailer too, ah, Dad.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
I'm happy you're back.
Speaker 7 (33:11):
Did you like s what hostages or bind nuclear weapons?
Do you kill people?
Speaker 1 (33:17):
By job?
Speaker 5 (33:17):
Laxiia just to go undercover, make contacts and see if
the new information that could be useful.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
So you left us for six years to make friends,
you prefer I kill people.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
That's probably enough of that after being on the field
for six years. This agent's got to come back to
work in the office now. That's timely too. They want
everybody back in the office lately, even spies. He's got
a teen daughter who doesn't love the fact that he's
been absent because his job comes first. There's a situation
with another undercover agent who may have blown his cover
and gotten arrested, putting lots of secret crap at risk,
(33:53):
and the woman he was involved with in his undercover
life happens to be in the city where he's stationed now,
and the flesh is weak. Richard Gere's the boss A
couple layers above Fastbender. Completely randomly, while I was watching this,
I realized, oh god, gear looks a lot like Tommy
Tubberville in his old age, and that kind of yanked
me right out of the show for a while. The
Agency is not action. It's not explosions or extreme stunt
(34:17):
type of show, and neither is the original. The Agency
is a remake of an outstanding French series from just
a few years ago called The Bureau or Le Bureau
de Legen's legends being the phony identities that undercover agents
construct for themselves. Smart, totally absorbing show Bran five seasons
really captures the paranoia and head games and methodical nature
(34:39):
of that kind of work. The Agency is a really
close remake. In fact, it's the same show with different
people in it. Maybe a hair more atmospheric production, maybe not.
Though it's so close, you got to wonder, why not
just watch The Bureau.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
It's the same show. Well, because USA, USA.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Okay, you can't expect number one Americans watch some French
show and to read on top of it insult to injury,
right there. Americans have the natural born, god given right
not to give a fly in f about other countries.
As everyone knows we are the center of the universe.
They turn out some good stuff in France, though, and
I'm not just talking about the s Garghoes. The star
(35:18):
of the Bureau is Matthew Kassovitz. You might remember him
from starring an Amily. He's also a very accomplished director.
He's known for a super movie called Lehane which translates
into hate, and a terrific serial killer detective thriller called
The Crimson Rivers with Genrena as the detective. Remember this
Vincent Castle as his partner. It's like these crafty French
(35:38):
looked at what we were doing with this genre and said,
you're a child, now watch what we do. Likewise, the
Bureau with Cassowitz is the Agent is damn near in
the league with the Wire as a great TV series
for adults. Watch The Agency at home on your Freedom TV.
Then track down the Bureau and watch it in shame
like a filthy trader, like one of them educated Coastal elites.
(36:02):
Read the subtitle that's your runner report.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
Mom.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Let me just say I don't disagree with anything you said.
I'm just less emotionally impacted by the things that you
disliked about Day of the Jackal. Here's what I mean.
I agree with you. I didn't care about seeing the
backstory to Lashawna Lynch's character, or that her husband was
in his second marriage, or they're fighting about this that,
(36:27):
or the other That took me out of it. But
I reasoned it this way. It felt like they had
to deliver ten episodes, So they had to deliver ten episodes,
and they would give us this filler unnecessarily. I would
have rather knowing less about the Jackal.
Speaker 3 (36:46):
Let us have that mystique. Yeah, we're saying the same thing,
and I'm glad you think so. Have you seen the
original nineteen seventy three movie, Yes, parts of it.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
I have to rewatch it because I don't remember it
because it was so long ago.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
It's a classic.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
It's a masterpiece, and you know, the two are different,
so not all the plot points are the same. And
I'm gonna spoil what a fifty one year old movie
for you. At the end of that movie, the cop
is just standing by the jackals unmarked grave. The story
goes all the way to the end and nobody ever
finds out who he is or anything about him. And that,
to me was one of the things that made him memorable.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
Yes, Yes, and I eddie Redmain's character the way they
started from the first episode. He's like a machine. He
is devoid of emotion, he does not care about life.
He's a true psychopath. And then to show his pressure
point with his family. It's just like, Okay, he's just
he's not even a true serial killer. He's not even
(37:41):
true psychotic sniper, you know, a gun for hire. We
know all of his motivations, we know why he's doing everything,
and I don't like that.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
No.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
No, at some point I realized, you know what, if
you changed the soundtrack and put in a laugh track here,
some of these scenes would play way different.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
They just don't need to be in this.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Like I said, it's about half good, but the half
good is really good. Even the title sequence looks like
it would be from a Bond one.
Speaker 2 (38:08):
Yes, the title sequence is fantastic. It's one of those
things I do not skip over. I want to see
it each and every time. I think it's good enough
for me to get to the end, which for me
is fine because this is Peacock.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
I am not looking for.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
The greatest television ever, but it's better than a lot
of the stuff that's out there. So I'm not going
to I'm not going to let perfect be the enemy
of the good here. I think it's good.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
Yeah, I agree, So one half recommendation and then two
other bonus ones. There's your report when we come back.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Nick Poleochini is back and he's joining us in studio.
Speaker 9 (38:43):

If I am six forty more stimulating talk, what's up?
Is Nick poliochan And it's good to be home again
with you here on Later with mo Kelly. And it's
good to be home truly, it's wonderful to be back again.
And I am checking in because I want to give
you a little bit of Instead of just this weekend
with Nick, I'm going to give you this holiday season
(40:13):
with Nick pollio'channey and kind of give you a little
bit of a preview of some of the things that
you can do. Natica kicked us off with what she
does best here now taking over my slot this year
in twenty twenty four, I got a pleasure of starting
out the inaugural season with Later with Mo Kelly here
and doing this Weekend with Nick polio'channi and have done
podcasts and in conversation and so many incredible things. In fact,
(40:35):
I want to give you a couple of updates on
some of the new things that I've been able to do,
but also give you some teases of things that you
can do for the holiday season that are coming up
here in the Southland right now. So one of the
coolest things actually, if you check out Nick pollio'keani or
this Week of a Nick on Instagram, you can see
some of the things I did today. Specifically, one is
going on at Westminster, mal And I know we've talked
(40:56):
about it here on KFI and we talk about it
a lot, but things have really changed in the last
few years of how we consume products and how we
go Shopping at Amazon is so easy, at Walmart dot
Com and target the app and is so easy.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
But going to a mall and being able to.
Speaker 8 (41:12):
Experience the shopping world is a different ballgame now. And
going to Westminster Mall just off the four or five
at Bolsa, if you're familiar, just in Orange County, it's
so quiet there and right now you can go and
experience something that's been around for over forty five years.
It is called the Sugar Plum Festival and it is
going on right now through the ninth. It is free
(41:32):
ninety nine to a ten, which you know, we absolutely
love here with this weecoming Nick Pauliochini, there we.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Go, Thank you, Steffoush.
Speaker 8 (41:39):
But it is a gathering of a lot of really
really talented artisans and a couple of them I want
to talk about and you've heard here tonight from Nautica
talking about the cookies that we're in studio because you
know as Stuffoosh talks about it. I am the soccer
mom of Later with Mo Kelly, and I bring orange
slices and juice boxes and so tonight actually brought some
(42:00):
cookies from Emerald Sweets. Emerald Sweets is actually Lily Eisman.
She is the ocy Cookie Lady and she works out
of a kitchen in Santa Ana and so the cookies
tonight are from her kitchen. You'll be able to check
those out on social media again, Nick poulio'channy in this
week O and Nick, But the kitchen sat cookies are
the favorites.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
I think.
Speaker 8 (42:18):
Also the most exciting one is Rachel and I got
to see her and she was one of the very
first companies that we featured on This Week with Nick
Pouliochanney here on Later with Mo Kelly back at the
beginning of the show, when Later with Mo Kelly started
back in twenty twenty three. She has Pop Pop Pacific
Ocean Park Candy out of Santa Monica. She's now at Airwan.
(42:41):
She is at Whole Foods and she has one of
most least favorite kind of concepts of sweet and sat
and savory, and so she has rosemary almonds butter candy
that's over here.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
That's delicious. It's one of my favorites.
Speaker 8 (42:56):
She made sure to send some of that for you
most specifically, so Ray Well, thank you so much. But
sugar Plum Festival has been around for over forty five
years free ninety nine. It's a great opportunity we just
because a small Business Saturday is the Saturday after Thanksgiving
does not mean you should not go out and support
small businesses in our neighborhoods, because that is really the
(43:18):
most important thing, is to be able to pour money
back into our own neighbor's pockets and being able to
help out our communities, because it's really important. It's super
important to be able to not just support each other,
you know, emotionally, mentally, but physically and helping out each
other's pocketbooks and a few extra bucks and you know,
skip the Target and skip the Walmart and being able
to do those things. But anyway, all right, So that's
(43:40):
a bit of that. A couple more things you can
check out that are happening this weekend. Unique Worlds, which
is a rebranding of unique La which I've talked about here,
also is going on tomorrow. I will be there as
well as on Sunday. That is happening. You can get
details at this weekend with Nick and Nick Pauli o'channey
on Instagram. Another really cool opportunity for you to check
(44:01):
out some fun and exciting things that you can buy
to support really talented artists, jewelry makers, clothing artisans, yes,
and being able to really find some unique special things.
Also coming up beginning on the twelfth at the Queen
Mary in Long Beach, they you're gonna have twelve days
of Christmas. And then to wrap up three ninety nine,
(44:22):
one of my favorite things that you can do in
and round southern California is going to be all the
Festival of Light things that are happening. A couple of
things you can do Sleepy Hollow down in the South
Bay in the Torrents area, and then also you can
do Candy Cane Lane.
Speaker 1 (44:34):
In the Woodland Hills area.
Speaker 8 (44:35):
So that's a bit of this holiday season with Nick
Polly o'canney, a little bit of a quicker ex well,
you know, a shorter version and a bridge version of
this week with Nick Poliocanne here on later with Mokelly.
Speaker 1 (44:46):
You're not going to be a stranger, are you. Oh no, No,
I'm not gonna be a stranger.
Speaker 8 (44:49):
In fact, you might be seeing me a little bit
more regularly here on later with lo Kelly through the
other year, Damn ran a little bit of a different version.
So I look forward to hanging out more regularly with
the Lader, the mo Kelly Crew.
