Speaker 1

You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 2

KFI Moo Kelly Here, We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3

Now let's toss it over to Notica de la Cruz.

Speaker 4

Thank you so very much, Moe, and Happy Friday for discover so Cal. I went to the historic Adamson House. It's located in the beautiful city of Malibu. It is a charming and beautiful estate that was once the home to a very wealthy family. Built in nineteen twenty nine, it originally belonged to Rhoda Ridge Adamson and her husband Merritt Huntley. As Adamson Rooda was the daughter of Frederick and May Ridge, a prominent family that owned a vast

portion of the land in Malibu. The house was part of their large ranch, which covered much of the area during that time. The Adamson House is known for its stunning Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, which gives its.

Speaker 5

Unique and elegant look.

Speaker 4

The tiles that decorate the house are one of the most special features, as they were created by Malibu Potteries and Malibu Potteries was owned by Rhoda's family These colorful tiles can be found throughout the property, adding its beauty and historic charm. One of the most breathtaking aspects of the Adamson's House is its location. Of course, the home sits right on the edge of Malibu Lagoon, offering incredible views.

Speaker 5

Of the Pacific Ocean.

Speaker 4

Visitors can enjoy the site of waves crashing along the shore, as well as peaceful views of the surrounding gardens and lagoon. Its serene place that is truly it just captures you. And not to mention the Malibu coastal landscape is amazing as well. The Adamson House is now a museum that welcomes visitors to learn about the rich history of Malibu. It is open to the public for tours and guests can explore the inside of the house and it's lovely gardens.

The estate gives people a glimpse into what life kind of was when you were a wealthy family in the early times of Malibu. And not to mention that the Ridge family and the Adamson family they owned a lot of property there. They were kind of responsible for making Malibu Malibu and what it is today. Overall, the Adamson House is not just a beautiful home, but a piece of California history. It's scenic location, remarkable architecture, the connection to the founding family of Malibu make it a must

visit destination. Tours are available year round, offering a perfect opportunity to experience both the beauty of the house and the history behind it. The historic Adamson House. Guided public tours are opened on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from eleven am to two pm, with the last tours starting at two pm. Entrance to the house is only available with a guided tour. There are no self guided tours inside the home. Let me just repeat that, no self

guided tours inside the home. Guided tours run about I want to say forty five minutes, and reservations are required for groups of seven or more and that must be thirty days in advance. Admission to the Adamson House and Garden tours is cash only. It's seven dollars and for kids five and under is free and kids six to seventeen is two dollars. So don't miss also the delightful

gift shop on the premises. It has amazing books, It has Malibu pottery tiles that were of course hand crafted, and it just gives you a little bit of the history. And the museum is absolutely breathtaking. It has these amazing views. You could kind of see how the rich kind of lived and this was the family. Like I said earlier, mo that they made Malibu. They took the ranches and just started, you know, adding architecture and making buildings and just expanding.

Speaker 2

I knew about that Adamson House, but I didn't know that it had been designated as a National Historic Site and a California Historic Landmark and it was managed by the State Park System.

Speaker 3

How much I did not know.

Speaker 4

Yes, it is and if you want more information and some history about it, you could go to Malibu Adamson House dot org. That's Malibu Adamson House dot org. And if you're heading towards Malibu and you know, you're just on PCH, that's kind of what my friend Kimberly and

I did. We just took the car and we just started driving, and she did make a reservation for the museum, and we did have lunch at Jeffrey's in Malibu, which is off a PCH, which is also exquisite great food reservation only and also great views too, So it's a nice day to spend the day in Malibu if you've never really kind of just been nosy about it, other than going to the beach.

Speaker 2

A good place to go, when you say, a good place to go if you just get a chance to look at the website. It is a gorgeous, gorgeous scenic place where you can look out over the water and you're kind of reminded how spoiled we are in southern California. You have these opportunities and landmarks to visit, relatively inexpensive or free, but they're there for the taking. In more

time than not, we don't take advantage of them. And that's why I enjoy what you're doing here Nauica, to remind us of what is available to us and also make sure that we take advantage of them.

Speaker 4

Most definitely, most sometimes we don't even go see that, Like I said, we don't even go see the things that are in our back in our own backyards.

Speaker 5

But right the lagoon is.

Speaker 4

Amazing, The scenic view is beautiful, and you know, I stood there, and I stood there in the garden and I just kind of meditated for about maybe two to three minutes, I had a spiritual conversation, and I was just there to listen, to listen what was spoken to me, and also to listen to the waves and the birds. You know, sometimes you just got to get away from the city. You got to go to near the water and just kind of, you know, refresh yourself. We kind

of refocus and you know, just I don't know. And Latino culture, it's kind of like a cleanse a beach. When you go to the beach, it's it's more of a cleansed thing, but it's it's also a spiritual thing, but it's also a sense of being grounded and a sense of peace. I need to go to the beach more. I'm not a water person, but I do. I do enjoy the serenity of the beach and the water and how calming it is, how relaxing is, and to your point, it's a great way to reset, it's a great way

to recalibrate. And again, we have all of these landmarks and museums right under our nose, and we just drive by them every single day, all giving them a second thought all the time. I know, that's why we have to get out and discover Southern California because it has so much to all for and I think even in our golden years, we maybe get as we get older, there are still Nickson crannies that will probably never find.

But you know, the whole point is to dedicate, you know, either a weekend a month or two weekends a month, just go, you know what, Let's get in the car.

Speaker 5

Let's you have dogs, Let's take the dogs and let's see where. Let's see where you know, our Chevy takes us.

Speaker 4

I don't know what you drive, but I'm just saying, you know, see where your car takes you, and just go, oh, I didn't even know this was here. You know, you know, go to Big Sir, go to Monterey, go to Berkeley, go to San Francisco, go to somewhere in San Diego. Go to a wine country or or wine you know, a vineyard. You just never know. But sometimes it's just really about just getting in the car and going.

Speaker 2

I got to correct you. Were you saying like I'm old or something where you're talking about golden years. No, no, no, I'm going to be forever young. I just want to be clear, all right, I do I have a birthday coming up, yes, but It's not like I'm going to be, you know, marching in the social securities.

Speaker 5

Down, slow down, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3

I don't know. I was kind of insulted there for a second.

Speaker 5

I would never insult you.

Speaker 4

But what I'm saying is, you know, we get caught up in life, Mo, and yes we're both still young, we're in our prime in our lives, but we get caught up in housework and work, and I gotta do this, I gotta do that, I gotta do all this other stuff.

Speaker 5

And we never put ourselves first.

Speaker 4

We put everybody else first, and we forget about the fun and all the things that Los Angeles and California has to offer us.

Speaker 5

And sometimes we just have to go. Get in your car and go.

Speaker 3

That is sage advice. Get in your car and go.

Speaker 2

When we come back, we'll have the hidden gym for this week for Later with Mo Kelly as we continue Friday Nights with Natica de la Cruz.

Speaker 3

So keep it right here.

Speaker 1

You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 2

Caf I AM six Four years Later with Mo Kelly, as we continue Friday Nights with Nautica de La cruise, Naica, take.

Speaker 5

It away, Thank you mo. Today's hidden gem is Antonio Loma. Antonio Loma grew up in the.

Speaker 4

Modest neighborhood of Los Angeles, where his father worked long hours as a construction worker. Every evening, Antonio would watch his father come home with his hands rough from a day spent laboring with bricks, cement, and wood. What started as a way to pass time soon turned into a passion for young Antonio. His father would bring home scraps of wood from job sites, giving him the challenge of

transforming the leftover pieces into something new. With each creation, be it's a small sculpture, a toy, or a makeshift shelf, Antonio found a sense of pride and purpose. His father's encouragement to always find the value in the things others overlook kind of stuck with him. By the time Antonio was a teenager, he had enrolled in a Los Angeles

trade school. Eager to become an electrician. He saw it was a way to carry forward the skills his father had taught him, but this time with wires and circuits rather than nails and wood. Antonio knew that electricity, like the materials his father used had potential to bring something to life. His journey took him to sam Bernardino, where he now works on a series of major projects that not only light up buildings, but also honors his father's

legacy of craftsmanship and ingenuity. For Antonio, his hands aren't just about creating. They are also honoring a family tradition of transforming what seems ordinary into something extraordinary. Antonio's story aligns with the mission of Rediscovercenter dot org, an organization that champions creativity by repurposing discarded materials for educational and

artistic purposes. Founded by a group of passionate educators and artists, the Rediscover Center began as a small community initiative where people were encouraged to turn their waste into wonders. What started with a few people sharing ideas on upcycling grew into a larger movement. The center now provides children and adults alike the opportunity to create, explore, and rediscover the

potential in materials that would otherwise be discarded. Rediscovercenter dot org believes in the power of sustainability and education, promoting hands on learning with the focus on reusing everyday objects to make art. The organization offers workshops, classes, and community events where participants are taught to look beyond the surface of what is seen as waste.

Speaker 5

Like Antonio's father taught him.

Speaker 4

The Rediscover Center teaches that teaches that creativity has no bounds when you learn to see the value where others see trash. Their mission is not only to foster creativity, but also to build a more sustainable world, one recycled masterpiece at a time. Now, for more information on the organization, events or how you could donate, I would like you to visit Rediscovercenter dot org. That's Rediscovercenter dot org.

Speaker 5

And honestly, mo.

Speaker 4

I think we should all learn to repurpose things or recycle and be creative. We buy so much stuff every single day. I see Amazon packages delivered in my building every single day, and I'm like, oh, another box, more waste, more waste.

Speaker 5

We just buy a little bit too much.

Speaker 4

And one of the things I have to say about my father, and not only Antonio's father, my father, you know, he always tried.

Speaker 5

To repurpose something.

Speaker 4

He would break it apart and go I could use this for this, And I think we need to start doing that.

Speaker 5

I know I'm one of those.

Speaker 4

People that I could go, oh, I can make this out of whatever. But I don't like to buy a lot of stuff, and I don't like to throw a lot of you know, trash and you know, other than the normal waste.

Speaker 5

But it's just I just feel like we're over consuming. And I have seen, like.

Speaker 4

There's this one place I can't think of the name of it right now, mo, but there's this place in Palm Strings of Palm Springs that's like a museum, and it's this artist that has repurposed has made statues of metal, of bottle caps of aluminum, of wood, of pieces of glass, and they take it and they make mosaics out of it. It's just absolutely amazing. And I think that's a good way to express art.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I think you touch up upon something because we live in a world and obviously our society, which is built upon the idea of just having more consumerism, purchasing things, you know, and our lives and our happiness at least what we think is somehow connected to being able to spend, being able to buy, And I think that's part of the why so many people are so very unhappy, because they measure their own happiness relative to how many physical items that they may buy, and that would seem to

be a more recent phenomenon. That wasn't the case when I was growing up. I know it wasn't the case when you were growing up. We just have this society which is bent upon Okay, I want something and I want to have it, and so let me get it right now. Click click, click on the computer and it's on the way. And that has given us, i would say, a distorted view of what's important and what is of value, because again, we're always going back to I want it, let me buy it, let me get it as soon

as possible. So you are definitely touching upon something. But I wanted to ask you before we get out of here. Yes, are you going to be joining us next week at the Lady with mo Kelly pre Halloween?

Speaker 3

Soare on October thirtieth?

Speaker 4

I gave you my word. Yes, I already have. I just need one more thing for my costume and.

Speaker 5

I should I should be good. But yes, I will be here on Wednesday.

Speaker 4

So I'm excited to meet your listeners, to meet the team, and just to have a good time.

Speaker 5

By the way, is there gonna be alcohol involved? No comment? Okay?

Speaker 3

I'm not gonna sit that on the air. I just you try to get me in trouble. It's like Mark Hip for the Gate.

Speaker 5

No better, no, no, no, I know it's not going to be spiked. I know that.

Speaker 2

Let's just say, there's Morton's right next door, and I am not stopping anyone from hanging out at Morton's in advance and then walking over.

Speaker 3

That's all I'm gonna say.

Speaker 5

That's wonder. Look as long as you have you have water, I'm okay.

Speaker 2

Oh we got that. We got that covered a sponsored by Wendy's. They have a lot of great food coming for us. It's going to be a great evening. And I know you have a fantastic listenership and fan base who've known you for your many years of radio here in Los Angeles. Yes, different stations, I mean just about every station, it seems like in LA you know the Nica Dela cruise. So if you've never met Nautica, you

of course you've heard her voice. But if you want to meet Naudica, be sure to come out well, assuming that you have a past and you can win a pass tonight, or you already have a past, I would say look forward to meeting Nadica Dea la Cruz.

Speaker 3

She is one of a kind.

Speaker 5

Thank you, mo one. More thing.

Speaker 4

I was on the Schedumatic podcast the pod and I mentioned you there and I gave you and Twala some love and it is a really long podcast, but it's funny and if you want to get to know a little bit more about me and my history and my history and radio. I talk about Steve Harvey, I talk about Big Boy, I talk about you, talk about Chris Little, I talk about Tuala and I'm so grateful for you and Tuala, and I gave you guys some love too, So thank you.

Speaker 6

Forty one Nature Mark talks about pop culture, ron and Report with Mark Ronner.

Speaker 3

Okay, if Later with mo Kelly.

Speaker 2

Now, let's turn it over to Mark Ronner with the super Secret Runner Report.

Speaker 7

It's not that secret. Venom three's new in theaters, and I'm going to tell you something you've never heard of. Critics say, there's no real reason to review it. Oops, I had a sound effect there and it didn't work. Oh right, radio, Well take that, cis Cel and Ebert. Uh, the first Venom was terrible. I skipped the second one because the first one was terrible.

Speaker 3

There's some talk about the third one.

Speaker 7

It might be a little bit better, but that's kind of like saying a toilet might just be really full but not quite overflowing. It's fun to on load on bad movies, sure, but drag in my ass to a theater to see a bunch of green screen CGI product about the annex of a symbiote that looks like someone sneezed black licrish into a handkerchief.

Speaker 3

Nope, nope, nope, nope nope. Venom three is.

Speaker 7

Also projected to hoover up sixty five million bucks it's opening weekend from people who don't care how lousy it might be or what any critic says in related news, Nothing matters. Instead, I want to tell you about a book now before you change the channel.

Speaker 3

Don't change the channel.

Speaker 7

I know a book reading is hard, but it's a special book that took fifty years to get into the world, and this release is a real event. It is called The Last Dangerous Visions. If you're a cy fine herd, this will ring a bell. If not, I'll explain. And it's a little personal. I've mentioned before. The writer Harlan Ellison was a friend of mine. He died in twenty eighteen, and I'm pretty sure that through newspapers, radio and podcasts,

I interviewed him more than anyone else. The first book of his I read as a teenager was like getting a bolt shot into my brain from one of those cattle guns. Ferociously intelligent guy, compassed it really raw and not just unafraid of bullies, but compelled to fight him no matter who they were. There was no one else like Carlan Ellison. He'd also written some of the most famous episodes of The Outer Limits and Star Trek and an iteration of the Twilight Zone in the eighties.

Speaker 3

I think so.

Speaker 7

Cub reporter Mark at Little Gannett newspaper in Indiana gets Ellison on the phone in the mid nineties and says, you made me want to be a writer. And he says right away, well see if that's a good or a bad thing. Jesus. When I finished the article that i'd called him for I sent him two copies of it for his records in C two as he specified, the full section not clipped, and I included some of my newspaper columns. I was nervous the next time we talked, but he said, you got Moxie kid, and we became

friends until he died. There was nothing I wouldn't have done for the guy. I never knew my father, and it doesn't really take a bunch of brain power to do the math on that one. Among our adventures, I ran interference for him when the Science Fiction Hall of Fame people were trying to induct him in Seattle. He hated being ghettoized as justice science fiction, and he walked out of interviews with people who called him one. He

especially hated the term sci fi. Can't tell you what he said it sounded like, but it was something dirty. But he was pleased to be recognized as one of the all time giants of it anyway. The one thing I never asked Harlan Ellison about was Dangerous Visions. It was a science fiction anthology that he edited, and he wrote introductions for it that blew your hair back as much as the stories themselves. The first volume had an absolutely seismic effect on the science fiction world. It was

a landmark. It started a new wave, and the second volume just as good. But the third one he never finished it. People bugged him about it constantly for decades. Authors who contributed to it died, they never saw their stories published, and I never brought it up. Didn't want to set him off. We had plans go hang out

at tanks, have hot dogs. He was going to show me his house in Sherman Oaks, he called Ellis in Wonderland, lots of stuff, but he died just before I moved here to la I hoped to be some help to his widow, Susan, but she died right after I moved here, abruptly, really young, and literally as I was composing a letter to her. Life has plenty of loose ends, and you just got to live with him. But then I find out the third Dangerous Visions book is coming out posthumously.

W T actual F. J. Michael Strazinski, the Babylon five creator, got it done. I'm just going to call him JMS. He was a friend of Harlan's and for much longer than me. Harlan made him as executor, JMS wrote a long, novellasized introduction to the Last Dangerous Visions about what happened with this book that took fifty years to publish and what happened to Harlan. JMS did the same as me. He sought out Harlan as a young writer, let Harland

know what his work meant to him. And there was nothing he wouldn't have done for Harlan, and he did. I'm reading this book and I'm getting flashbacks to driving Harlan and Susan around and my old Mustang finding places for us to eat, answering the phone when I'm depressed, to hear Harlan in this exaggerated Jewish mom voicing, oh

you never call, you never write well. JMS had a psych education and he figured Harlan had bipolar disorder, which led to severe clinical depression and also a death fixation from seeing his dad die young and living past that age himself. So in this introduction, JMS lists Harlan's bipolar system symptoms rather and they include racing thoughts, bouts of chronic fatigue, a laundry list of stuff I'm way too familiar with myself, and this year I'm as old as

my mom was when she died very young. Oh crap. So let's just say Jms's introduction to The Last Dangerous Visions shook me. It's tremendously moving. It made me cry. It's a major achievement to get this book out into the world. It's on Amazon. Of course, I got it from the library on my iPod the instant I found out about it. JMS was such a good friend to Harlan that he got him to go to therapy. Finally, I ain't doing that the couple times I put my

toe in the water. My biggest breakthrough was that I hate talking about my feelings. But reading helps. Reading helps check out the Last Dangerous Visions and read some Harlan Ellison. Reading is hard, and we'll get back to movies and stuff next week. But this is good and it's really special. There's your run and report.

Speaker 2

Mo. That was great. Mark, that was great. The stories contained great.

Speaker 3

Thank you.

Speaker 7

I'm sure you've met some of your heroes and have stories of your own.

Speaker 2

I do, and sometimes they've disappointed me, and other times they've not disappointed me. But I enjoyed how the story began decades ago and in decades down the road, and you got to see it come to fruition.

Speaker 7

It was such a piece of unfinished business. And my mouth was hanging open a lot of the time I read this stuff. I knew Harlan for twenty five years, maybe something like that. I didn't know this stuff and some of this stuff. And by the way, I didn't at all ruin the book for anybody by what I revealed. There's so much going on. And he was such an interesting guy, and there's a lot of him on YouTube if you're not familiar with him. He was an extraor

ordinarily entertaining, smart, just whip smart, articulate guy. So he used to be a favorite of Tom Snyder. He was on The Tomorrow Show way back in the day. He was one of these writers, especially science fiction writers. He was a handsome guy. He was good on TV, very clever, very funny. He was charming. Everybody wanted to have him as a guest, even MERV Griffin, for God's sakes, although once they got him on the show, they never knew what he was gonna say.

Speaker 3

He was.

Speaker 7

He was a real live wire. There's lots of him to discover. He also did a show on the old sci Fi Channel, even though, like I said, he hated the term sci fi, hated it. He did a show call called I think it's called Harlan Ellison's Watching on the sci Fi Channel. They're just brilliant little short pieces of his commentary on sci fi, pop culture, comic books, you name it, and I gotta tell you this. You

made me remember something back when Isaac asv died. Remember Isaac Asimov absolutely also one of the great suits in the science fiction Hall of Fame. I was away at college and I didn't have TV or cable or anything like that. Harlan did a very emotional eulogy for Isaac Asimov on his show. I had my mom long distance on the phone, hold the phone up to the TV so I could hear this thing, and it brought me

to tears way back then too. If you don't know this author, Harlan Ellison, you're really in for a treat.

Speaker 3

Well.

Speaker 2

I need to go back and listen to this again, because I think that was one of your best run of reports ever because it was personal.

Speaker 3

If you had personal anecdotes.

Speaker 7

He meant a lot to me, and I think he meant a lot to a lot of people. And I think this book is going to be really special to a lot of people as well.

Speaker 1

You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from KFI AM six forty.

Speaker 2

The countdown is on to Wednesdays Later with mo Kelly pre Halloween, Sara. And if you have already gotten your pass to the most exclusive event in the history of KFI, and I mean that it's not even close because we aren't advertising this, we aren't posting it on social media, we didn't put it on KFI AM six forty dot com, we weren't taking requests if you tried to inbox us, and people did. The only way that you can get tickets to this event is to win them via a

name that movie called Classic. And and we'll be playing one more time tonight for our final attendees. And if you are going to be coming, hopefully you've already received the introductory email trying to make sure you're gonna be in attendance. And if so, you're gonna be bringing your guest. I cannot wait. I got my costume ready to go. I assume Twalla's got hit. Oh it's real simple, and you'll see it's like, oh, I got it. Yeah, all right, Twala,

you're ready to go. Oh, I'm absolutely ready to go. I am dressed already in my mind.

Speaker 8

I know there's this thing going on as Game one of the World Series, and a lot of people are excited.

Speaker 3

There's a lot of traffic for it today and all that.

Speaker 8

I just want to make sure later with mo Kelly listeners know that there is that much hype for this party and more.

Speaker 2

Actually, there's going to be great food compliments of Wendy's, and we will have all sorts of spreads for you.

Speaker 3

You're gonna be well fed. Put it that way.

Speaker 2

You're gonna be well fed, and you're gonna be well entertained. We have a couple more surprises which are coming your way, and we're trying to lock down. But this is for you, the people who've supported us from the beginning. It's all about you. You've turned this show into something special and the least we could do is show you some love and return. I tell you this, and I don't know if I said this before the very first time we played name that movie called Classic it was a throwaway thing.

I knew that I wanted to do some sort of game. I knew that it may have something to do with TV or movies. He would have something to do with entertainment. So I just pulled ten clips from some movies and I said, well, we'll see if it sticks. And it's stuck. And it's been so very popular since that very first week, almost two years ago at this point and because of you,

we're able to do this. I took Mark Runner and stepping up to the space the helpful Honda Studios because they hadn't seen it how it was going to be laid out, where people are going to be, Oh, you guys are in for a treat, a real treat. We're going to have the whole cast there from our commentators. Marsha Collier is going to be joining us, not de la Cruz is going to be joining us, Jackie Ray is going to be joining us.

Speaker 3

Who have I forgotten? And the nice exercise, Lady Clark, A nice exercise, lady. I love that. That is too funny, Mark Runner.

Speaker 7

Where is the human sacrifice going to be held?

Speaker 3

That's going to be our three hour three, That's where the blood letting will get.

Speaker 2

Hey, you don't want to lead with that, No, no, no, no, you have to work your way up to the human sacrifice.

Speaker 3

Okay, all right, that makes sense.

Speaker 2

You have to leave them wanting more and you can't do it. Look, we get it in the first hour. You know it's all downhill after that. Now you're pro I should have trusted your judgment on this.

Speaker 8

Now when they see us setting up to pull hearts out, then Mark, then get ready for the real party.

Speaker 7

I'm gonna warm up by watching Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom.

Speaker 3

I think. Okay, now I can promise you. I can promise you.

Speaker 2

I can assure you that there won't be any signals saying okay, now it's time for the freak off.

Speaker 3

We won't be doing any of that. Okay, I know there will be no baby boyl upstairs. It's not allowed. They have already let us know.

Speaker 8

No, you cannot have any pink cocaine or baboil.

Speaker 3

We thought we.

Speaker 7

Could, but you know what are all these suspicious boxes around the studio that say oil.

Speaker 2

No, don't give it away, don't give it away. But to be serious, we're gonna have so much food. And I want to warn you in advance. You want to get there a little early because you'll want to eat in advance because food will not be allowed in the

helpful Honda Studios. We will have an overflow area where you'll be able to hear and see the show, but if you want to be in the actual studio area, you can't bring food in there, so you may want to get there early enough to get some of your great grub on We're gonna have Wendy's making hamburgers on site, made to order, and some other great treat We learned that last night.

Speaker 3

That's so cool.

Just you know, if you haven't seen the space before, we have an upstairs deck patio, plenty of room to sit outside. Now it may be a little cool at that time of night, so depending on your costume, you may want to have some sort of of jacket or covering, but there'll be plenty places for you to lounge, relax and enjoy the moment. If you've never been to the iHeartMedia Studios, it's a nice little place. It's really well done and you'll get a full tour of the facility

after the show. We'll take you around so you can see all the different radio stations, including a five seventy our partner station at LA Sports, the Dodgers, station, and I know they're going crazy right now because of the Dodgers with that dramatic walk off Grand Slam home run to win Game one by Freddie Freeman.

Speaker 3

And I can't say it enough.

Speaker 2

Look, we knew that something historic was going to happen in the series. I didn't know it was going to be Game one in such dramatic fashion. And if you're a student of Dodger history, the most consequential and that maybe I would even say famous home run in Dodger history is the Kirk Gibson home run in Game one against the Oakland A's back in nineteen eighty eight to win Game one. In fact, you can go back find

the video and audio of it on YouTube. And when you see the video, you will see people in the parking lot, the red lights of cars driving away because people wanted to beat the traffic.

Speaker 3

And tonight, I wouldn't blame you, because the traffic everywhere.

Speaker 2

People wanted to beat the traffic and missed seeing the World Series home run in person. I wonder if something similar happened tonight, because this home run tonight rivals that, and you will see the direct comparison again and again and again between the Kirk Gibson home run of nineteen eighty eight and the Freddie Freeman home run of twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3

And here's why if you didn't know. Kirk Gibson only had that wonted bat in the nineteen eighty eight series. He had been hobbled by injuries. He couldn't barely move.

Speaker 2

He was brought in as a pinch hitter to maybe catch lightning in a bottle, and they did. Freddie Freeman has been hobbled this whole playoff run with a bad ankle. He really can't run at all, but he can still swing the stick. And it was almost kind of it was surreal because it was so reminiscent of that Kurt Gibson home run.

Speaker 3

They're both left handers.

Speaker 2

It was obviously the last of battles, a walk off home run in Game one. Hopefully this series will in the same way that it did in nineteen eighty eight with the Dodgers winning. But I'll tell you one last time, if you're not watching this series, you are missing out on history.
