1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: Jo J Kattan SiZ is here this morning, one of

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: two point seven Kiss FM. Yeah, Ryan's Roses is the

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: next thing we're gonna do after a Ton Rosenbloom of

4
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: Valley Village. This is if you're from southern California, Los Angeles,

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: this area something interesting. You probably know there's a lot

6
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: of rich history here in Los Angeles. But I don't

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: know that people think of La quite like that. Aton

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 1: Rosenblue mom with this now. I saw him on TikTok.

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: The guy born and raised here. He's living out the

10
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: denas Silver Lake. He's to Hollywood all over the place,

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: and he's on a mission Sisanitania. He's on a mission

12
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: of visit every single La landmark on the National Register

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: of Historic Places. Aton, how many of them are there?

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: There is just about six hundred of them right now,

15
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 2: and it's growing every few weeks.

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 1: Yep, Okay, people don't Some people that aren't around here

17
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: or from here may not give LA the kind of

18
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: credit for history right now.

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. You know. Someone just commented on one

20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: of my posts this morning. Actually it was a quote

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: from La La land that says they worship everything and

22
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: value nothing. I think a lot of people have that

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: attitude about la history, that we don't have a history

24
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 2: or that we don't protect it, but it's just not true.

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: You know, we're a young city comparatively, and it's true

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 2: that we've lost a lot as always developed. But look,

27
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 2: no matter what you care about, entertainment, social justice, architecture, whatever,

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 2: there's historic sites here that you can visit to learn

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 2: about this stuff.

30
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: We're going to hone in on like three Mussies three

31
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: that you can recommend to people listening. But first, how

32
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: is it that you can go do all of this

33
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: as your primary focus? Always confused, I'm always wondering.

34
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I'll tell you, I have a day job,

35
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: I have a wife and kid. It is tough, but

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 2: I don't sleep. I spend all of my nights and

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: weekends just visiting and researching and connecting with people and

38
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: places just for hobby. Yeah, it's just for a hobby.

39
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: I make nothing out of this. It's it just, you know,

40
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: pure masochism. I guess you could say it, but look,

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: I mean, it's fascinating what you can learn through the

42
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: historic places that you pass by every day. So I

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 2: feel like I'm getting so much out of it.

44
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: All right, one hundred and seventy. He's been to six

45
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: hundred total. Give us three at the top of the

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: list that we could jot down to try and check out.

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: Sure. So, I mean, something I understand about the National

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: Register first is that it's not really intended as a

49
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: tourism guide. A lot of the most significant buildings in

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: LA are privately owned, So I spend a lot of

51
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: time just taking videos outside the gate of some beautiful house.

52
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: But I wanted to talk about three of them that

53
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: you know, Kiss listeners actually can go inside. So first

54
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: up is the Lumbus House in the Highland Park area,

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: and you pass right by it if you're going south

56
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: on the one tent. It is a wild looking house

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: made of river rocks and concrete and wood and telephone poles.

58
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: Actually they're built right into the sea, and it was

59
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: handbuilt in the early nineteen hundreds by this guy named

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: Charles Lummis along with a bunch of indigenous kids from

61
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 2: New Mexico. And Lummis was one of the all time

62
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: most interesting Angelina's I think he walked from Cincinnati to

63
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: LA on foot to take a job as an editor

64
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: at the La Times. He championed Native American rights, early

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: advocate for preserving historic buildings. He founded the Southwest Museum,

66
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: and he threw epic ragers at his house. He actually

67
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: he built the inside walls and floors at a concrete

68
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: just so he could hose them down after parties.

69
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: Wow.

70
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's a really important, unique guy, and I

71
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,559
Speaker 2: think the house reflects his uniqueness.

72
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: What a great backstrough. Right, what's the second LA landmark

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: we should check out?

74
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: Sure? So number two is the mission Son Gabriel Arcan Hell.

75
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: LA landmarks just don't get any more important than this mission.

76
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: So he was established in seventeen seventy one, ten years

77
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: before La existed. In fact, it's said that the forty

78
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 2: four founding citizens of Los Angeles set out from this

79
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 2: mission on the day that they founded the Pueblo of

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: La So you know, it's a rare connection to this

81
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: time when this land was occupied by the Spanish. They

82
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 2: even have a grapevine there that was planted in the

83
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 2: seventeen seventies and continues to bear fruit today. I've heard

84
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: that there are people trying to make wine from that

85
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: right now.

86
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: Seventy one I mean amazing, Yeah.

87
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 2: I know, I think it has had a long time

88
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: to age like a fine wine.

89
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: So one more LA landmark here. This is Aighton Rosenblom

90
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: who's been to one hundred and seventy incredible history in LA.

91
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: What's one more real quick?

92
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: So number three is a fun one. Is the Vasquez Rocks.

93
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 2: Have you guys ever been there?

94
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: No?

95
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 2: Now, so not everything on the National Register is man made.

96
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: Vasquez Rocks are these crazy rock formations that jut out

97
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: of the ground at forty five degree ankles and it

98
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: looks like Mars, which kind of explains why so many

99
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: sci fi movies in Westerns have been shot there, like

100
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: most famously, there's an episode of the original Star Trek

101
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 2: series where William Shatner is battling the Gorn. And I mean,

102
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: since since this is Kiss, BTS, Rihanna, One Direction, Radiohead,

103
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 2: they've all shot music videos. Wow, so you have definitely

104
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 2: seen these rocks in the background. And I put together

105
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 2: a YouTube playlist on my website of all the videos

106
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 2: shot there.

107
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I wonder if those rocks ever knew they

108
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: were going to see BTS. I mean that's the thing. Yeah,

109
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: you think about that history and BTS just seals it

110
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: from me. Ay Don Rosenbloom. You can check them out

111
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: et An does La on TikTok and Instagram. Thanks brother

112
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: for coming on. You really helped us understand it very nicely.

113
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for doing this.

114
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: Hey, thanks for having me Ryan see it.

115
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: Bye bye. You know when you're talking to somebody and

116
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: you realize that you are so not nearly as smart

117
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: as they are. I had that feeling. Oh interesting, it's

118
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: very interesting. But you know when you're the dumbest person

119
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: in the room, Well, at least I felt that you

120
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: don't feel that way. Okay, No, Michael and I got

121
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: married at a landmark here in La historic building in

122
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: downtown for that reason. Top three. Well I did not

123
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: make a top three, but we did it for that

124
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 1: reason so that it can never be torn down. Oh

125
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: look at you and Rihanna?

126
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 2: Is that as smart?

127
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: All? Right? Now? It's Sharon. He's going to be the

128
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: landmark performing Sofi Stadium got tickets for that. Next and
