@MrMoKelly & ‘What’s Up, with Nick’

something she's very excited about. But it's something that both MO and I have done in the past, but it's been quite some time. The bet experience is happening and taking over downtown La Thursday through Sunday this week. So if it's something that you're looking forward to, if there's some I show you enjoy on be Et, if there's a personality from it, it's all going down. And the best part is I'm starting out with something that's free

ninety nine. All you have to do is log onto beet dot com and look for the BET Experience link and then you sign up and you're able to enjoy fan Fest all well Thursday through Sunday, but specifically Saturday and Sunday are gonna be the busiest time periods with the most interactions with music, guests and TV shows and

everything else. So it's a lot of fun and it's something that is unique, and I love that it always seems to come back to La year after year, so I think that that's a big thing for me music wise, talent wise, very much a big part of the Southland, So I mean that's for me. I love it. I think it's a good time. I think it's worth everybody going and checking out. So we're gonna try to get

Carnesia there. I know that's I was literally walking her through all like, here's the contacts, here's the media people.

in the corner. And their opening night event is happening this Friday, and it's gonna be dirty dancing as the featured film. But it's one of those moments where well it says the Santa Monica Mountains transform into the cat Skills so if you're familiar with Dirty Dancing exactly, so nobody puts baby in the corner, but everything is retro inspired for this Friday Night event starts at six o'clock

till ten thirty, and it is fifties and sixties. Resort ware is encouraged, So if you need to do a little bit of homework, check out Dirty Dancing on YouTube and you too can live your Patrick Swayze dreams here in sol in southern California. Also, we've got in the Exhibition Park area, so north National History Museum for La County. If you've not been there, I've talked about it many,

many times. This is where they have both the Butterfly Pavilion, which then feeds the Spider Pavilion when we get a little closer to my birthday for Halloween. But National History Museum is really worthwhile. And then this is First Friday's twenty twenty five amplified, so it's going to be live DJs. The have I'm not sure. I mean, I'm familiar with

what a sound bath is. I don't specifically know what this one is, but that's usually when you would go in and it's meditative and you've got music, and you've got drums and bells and all the fun and gongs. But the event theme is going to beat music and the mind. What does listening to music do to your mind and well being? What has changed in the way we listen to music and what does it mean for society? And what are the social and personal benefits of listening

to music. It is very music heavy and there will be all sorts of DJs, cocktails, soundbads, you name it. All the details can be found at NHM dot org, National History Museum dot org, or you can check out the Lincoln bio at Nick pouliyo'cheeo this weekend with Nick on social media.

Monday and a Wednesday. So I'm glad because normally I would have to have somebody sub in for me on a Tuesday, but I get to be here with you, so that's always a good thing we appreciate. So I'll actually be coming straight from that event because I will be live at Disneyland after Dark Pride Nights both on Monday the sixteenth of June and Wednesday to eighteenth of June. Now, whether you're part of this community or not, I want you to go, and this is why, because we've talked

about it and we'll talk about again. All the attractions are open, all the walk all the wait times are walk on. So even if you're not specifically there for the alphabet to be a part of the Alphabet Mafia or a supporter of it, you can go and really for one hundred and sixty nine dollars, which is not cheap, but you can get walk onto all the attraction.

I will be there. And the thing I love it's parades, it's music, it's community, it's camaraderie. But it's also seeing Disney in a very different light. And I think it's because there's a good amount of Alphabet Mafia members that

are cast members at the Disneyland Resort. So this is something that has only been happening a last few years and it's something that's brand new and was really earth changing, earth shattering when it comes to the world of Disney because there's a lot of lgbtqia plus representation behind the scenes backstage, but this was able to bring them front and center and really give them an opportunity to shine and celebrate diversity and what makes those cast members and

the Disneyland resort as part of the Walt Disney Company so specifically unique. So if you got it, it's well worth it to check it out. And if you go, I definitely want you to find me and take some pictures and snap that. You can always find out my location pretty quickly by following Nick pollio'channey this week of a nick on social media, because I usually try my best to keep up as quickly as I possibly can.

But it's a good time. It's well worth it. And we're in June, which is Pride month, and it's crazy to think that we're already halfway through the year already. It's I mean, I hate to be that, like, sorry, this year is already felt like forty five months, right, That's what I'm saying. So that's for me because I don't want to be the usual news anchor like, oh

my gosh, can you believe it's all wow? But really it, like you said, it feels like we lived through forty five years in six months, so it's both Wow it's June and wow it's June.

Festival in Hollywood. West Hollywood a few years ago split off and started doing their own thing when LA officially moved their celebration with Christopher Tree West to Hollywood Boulevard. So the reason that I bring this up, it's free ninety nine is a great way to be out and about in the community and the diversity that you experienced there, whether you're a member of the Alphabet Mafia or supporter

or whatever. There is a lot going on and especially for the entire month, so I will be pomping in and out of a lot of different events where these will be happening. You can see that at Nick Polly o'keanna this week and with Nick on Instagram.

shut down along Hollywood Bulevard. So starting at Hollywood Ovation Hollywood and then continuing down Hollywood Bilevard heading east over toward the one on one, it's shut down. And that only happens at this point in time twice a year

for the Hollywood Christmas Parade and for La Pride. So it's a very very interesting experience because Pride here in La while it may be associated with the Alphabet Mafia is very much La Pride, Pride in the City of Los Angeles and the County of Los Angeles and the diversity that we have. And I think that's the biggest point for me to hit is to kind of hit home for you, is it's worth getting out there. It's free ninety nine. It costs you nothing but some of

your time. But it's a great time to get out there and experience your neighbors and be able to meet people from different communities. Also, there's so many additional things that are going on. I will be at the Dodgers game on the thirteenth, Friday the thirteenth, which is pretty wild because it's our only Friday the thirteenth of the year.

I know I've had quite a few graduations that I've attended I've got a couple more that are still on the docket, but there's so much going on in the Southland and I really really want to encourage you to get out there and experience things that are going on in your backyard. That's why I'm here, That's why I love coming in here. That's where this weekend when it came from, back when Later with Mo Kelly first had

its inaugural season, the inaugural year. But it really gives you an opportunity to get out there and get to know your neighbors. And it's not just the people that you live next door to, not just the people that you you know, share a wall or a fence with, but people that are just in the general community. Because it's wild to think how many connections can be made when you're just getting out there with it. And I think that's it. This is we don't have. If you're

part of a church community, it's incredible. You have Fiesta's, you have you know, the church carnival, whatever. But so much as you were talking about early in the show, Mo, things have changed culturally how we interact with people, and so having these large events where we're able to get together, especially with no cover charge. I mean people go to Coachella, people go to Stagecoach, they drop one hundreds a lot. But that's what I'm saying, like hundreds of thousands of

dollars here. This past weekend, West Hollywood Pride has become out Loud, which is a music festival where they had many many name acts. Lizzo anchored Saturday and I forget who anchored Sunday. But and then you also have music acts that will be performing this week. And it's a great way for you to get out. But you know, costs a lot less and that's my biggest thing. You don't have that overhead, and so all it does is cost time, and I think that's the most important things.

Going back to the National History Museum for their first Friday, that does cost admission.

into and enjoy the experience. Wow, that's great. You can see my social media on at mister Mokelly on YouTube right now. So if you don't know how to spell Nick Poli oct handsome dude, I was going to say, I love this is this inception.

And then also you'll be able to check out's see TikTok, snapchat, everything's there, slide to my dms. I'm available, And I think that's a bigger thing that I talk about a lot but don't get as much feedback, is if you have someplace you want me to go check out, if there's something in the community that's coming up. This is a I've talked about it before, but that's how I became involved with the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival was because they reached out and just said they wanted to have

people come. And that again has already passed. Was a Momorial Day weekend, but it's a free ninety nine event. So of course that's on the top of my list of things that we want to do. But being able to be out there and support and I cover everything from San Diego on the border all the way straight up through Santa Barbara. So I mean, somebody wants to invite me and pay for me to go out beyond that.

before the migration exactly. And then you know, once the movie Next Friday hit and all those beautiful track homes came in, it was a different ballgame.
