0:59
Speaker 2: Radio Night Live off of brand new week talking Travel
1:02
Speaker 2: normally with Linda Perillo on Tuesday nights, but Linda, there's
1:06
Speaker 2: lots of things coming out of the weekend that were
1:08
Speaker 2: just astounding. We're going to get to the to the
1:12
Speaker 2: bigger one that even got bigger yesterday on some level
1:15
Speaker 2: because the deal with Iran may that may open up
1:19
Speaker 2: travel in ways that people have. Yeah, but before we
1:22
Speaker 2: get to get we got to talk about the real thing,
1:25
Speaker 2: the real story for all of us live in the
1:27
Speaker 2: New York area, Go New York, Go New York.
1:29
Speaker 3: Goo.
1:30
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, listen, my boys play basketball, right, So, I
1:35
Speaker 4: mean that's the only reason I like it. I was
1:38
Speaker 4: not a basketball fan. I was not like, I love baseball.
1:42
Speaker 4: I live your Yankees great, right, oh my god, huge
1:44
Speaker 4: Yankees girl. But let me just say it's one of
1:48
Speaker 4: those things that even when you're not a fan organically,
1:53
Speaker 4: you had to be a fan. A little bit of
1:57
Speaker 4: a Cinderella story here. What was it nineteen seven, twenty
2:00
Speaker 4: three I think, yeah.
2:01
Speaker 2: Fifty fifty three years and.
2:03
Speaker 4: You had Kevin. As we were saying off air, I mean,
2:07
Speaker 4: just a classy bunch of guys that wanted to win this,
2:13
Speaker 4: that worked together. Teamwork is dreamwork. Everyone had a role.
2:19
Speaker 4: And if we can teach our kids something about being
2:21
Speaker 4: on a team Kevin, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's exactly that.
2:25
Speaker 4: You don't need to be the superstar. You need to
2:27
Speaker 4: do what your job is and bring it all together
2:32
Speaker 4: because it's a team and wow, wow, just the chill.
2:36
Speaker 2: Well, the GM Leon Rose spent a couple of years
2:39
Speaker 2: putting all these players together and he really understood what
2:42
Speaker 2: he needed, and congratulations to him and mister Dolan for
2:46
Speaker 2: spending the money to get him. And you're exactly right,
2:49
Speaker 2: like for instance, because it was it was a jump
2:52
Speaker 2: on the bandwagon postseason for the Knicks and everybody that
2:55
Speaker 2: had not even known who they were, like my bride,
2:58
Speaker 2: she had no clue what the next were doing, or
3:00
Speaker 2: who was on the team or anything. And then they
3:02
Speaker 2: start winning. I think they won sixteen games in the
3:05
Speaker 2: playoffs and lost only three. I mean, that's easy, and
3:09
Speaker 2: they weren't. There were a couple of blowouts against the
3:11
Speaker 2: Sixers and stuff, but not most of the games weren't
3:14
Speaker 2: like that, And in the San Antonio series they certainly
3:17
Speaker 2: weren't like that. And they had to come back in
3:20
Speaker 2: every game that they won. They almost came back in
3:22
Speaker 2: the game that they lost, but they had to come
3:25
Speaker 2: from behind. The Spurs led seventy six percent of the games.
3:30
Speaker 2: You think about all the playing time, seventy six percent
3:32
Speaker 2: of the time the Spurs were up.
3:34
Speaker 4: But going into the second half, I think act well,
3:37
Speaker 4: going into sometimes into the fourth quarter, they were still up.
3:40
Speaker 2: I think they were head as far as ten in
3:42
Speaker 2: all four of the wins. But here's the thing. The
3:45
Speaker 2: Knicks never got rattled. As you said, they knew how
3:47
Speaker 2: to work together. Each person knew their individual jobs. One
3:51
Speaker 2: of the funny stories, I think, and I talked about
3:54
Speaker 2: this in my column at town Hall yesterday, because this
3:56
Speaker 2: is kind of an this is kind of an American story.
3:59
Speaker 2: You had Robinson who couldn't shoot a free throw. If
4:03
Speaker 2: you if you said make this free throw, or we're
4:05
Speaker 2: putting you up against the wall and shooting you to
4:07
Speaker 2: death under a firing squad, he couldn't do it. It
4:11
Speaker 2: just couldn't do it. And as a former coach, I
4:13
Speaker 2: can tell you his form is pathetically bad. And if
4:16
Speaker 2: I was him now that I'm a world champion, I'd
4:18
Speaker 2: hire some kid to could just come rebound for me
4:20
Speaker 2: for like two hours, and I'd do nothing but shoot
4:22
Speaker 2: free throws all summer and try to be better next year.
4:25
Speaker 2: But here's the thing that wasn't That wasn't his particular job.
4:29
Speaker 2: His job in the final twenty six seconds was to
4:31
Speaker 2: make sure that Wemby didn't get the rebounds off the off,
4:35
Speaker 2: the off, the Spurs offensive and he and he blocked
4:38
Speaker 2: him out and he pulled in three rebounds that they
4:40
Speaker 2: needed back to back to back and that and those
4:43
Speaker 2: are the little things. You don't have any of the
4:45
Speaker 2: sportscasters talking about Mitchell Robinson's rebounds. But if he doesn't
4:48
Speaker 2: get those, if he doesn't get those rebounds and the
4:51
Speaker 2: Spurs get second shots, they can come back from that.
4:55
Speaker 2: You know, being down by four in that final twenty
4:57
Speaker 2: six seconds, the Knicks didn't yield the lead, and they
5:01
Speaker 2: boxed out and they got the rebounds, and they played defense.
5:03
Speaker 2: They did the stuff that they had to do, and
5:05
Speaker 2: lo and behold when number four came in Game five,
5:09
Speaker 2: and I know there was a lot of crap being
5:11
Speaker 2: talked about, Oh Nixon six, No, no, no, no, baby,
5:14
Speaker 2: that's not championship mentality. Championship mentality as we go on
5:17
Speaker 2: the road and we take it away from their home
5:19
Speaker 2: crowd to really do that. And to this point, and
5:23
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that I'm kind of on a tear here,
5:26
Speaker 2: but Jalen Brunson, you talk about selfishness. I said, this
5:29
Speaker 2: was kind of an American story. When George Washington won
5:33
Speaker 2: the Revolution, he goes back, He goes back to the
5:38
Speaker 2: House of Representatives in Philadelphia and he says, I resign
5:42
Speaker 2: my position as the Commander in chief of the American
5:45
Speaker 2: Colonial Force, and he gave up power. And King George
5:48
Speaker 2: was so blown away by this, he goes if that
5:51
Speaker 2: really happened, because he didn't even believe it happened at first.
5:53
Speaker 2: He said, then, George Washington is truly a great man.
5:56
Speaker 2: Nobody that's ever worked so hard to get to a point,
5:58
Speaker 2: has ever really given up that power. Jalen Brunson came
6:02
Speaker 2: to the Knicks and willfully said, I could earn another
6:06
Speaker 2: one hundred million on my contract, but I'm going to
6:09
Speaker 2: give that back to the team so that the whole
6:12
Speaker 2: team can And because of that, they were able to
6:15
Speaker 2: go get these role players that needed to be put
6:17
Speaker 2: around him so that they had an entire team. And
6:20
Speaker 2: when you look at this group, I call them lunch
6:22
Speaker 2: pail guys. They're the guys that you know, climb the
6:24
Speaker 2: skyscraper and put the hot bolts in the lead and
6:27
Speaker 2: then eat their lunch and go home without anybody knowing
6:29
Speaker 2: their name. That was this next team. They were a
6:32
Speaker 2: we're going to do it together. We're never going to
6:34
Speaker 2: give up. We're going to keep pushing forward. And look
6:37
Speaker 2: what happened because they never gave up. Sixteen and three
6:39
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, World champions And what a story for
6:43
Speaker 2: our kids to for our boys especially to look up to.
6:47
Speaker 4: Well here's the other thing too. You know my daughter
6:49
Speaker 4: is a junior Bowl. She's going to be a senior
6:50
Speaker 4: at Villanova. I got to point out Nova, no matter
6:54
Speaker 4: what they do, how they end up in the sweet sixteen,
6:58
Speaker 4: they don't Final four, they don't. They're producing great basketball players.
7:03
Speaker 4: I mean, Brunson, Heart, Bridges, all three of them are
7:08
Speaker 4: Nova guys. I don't know if they graduated, but they
7:10
Speaker 4: are definitely Nova guys. And I got to tell you
7:14
Speaker 4: class Heart Brunson even said, you know the other night
7:18
Speaker 4: when after they won, he goes, well, you know, we
7:21
Speaker 4: played really well tonight, he goes at the end of
7:24
Speaker 4: the game.
7:25
Speaker 3: Not so well at the beginning of the game. But
7:28
Speaker 3: in the end, the beginning of the game didn't matter,
7:31
Speaker 3: except that they knew they had to change course and
7:35
Speaker 3: had to really high tail it down that court, and
7:38
Speaker 3: they absolutely did it. And I said to you off
7:41
Speaker 3: air before the best moment for me, because I'm not
7:45
Speaker 3: a basketball person really was Jalen Brunson and his dad,
7:50
Speaker 3: Rick Brunson. At the end of that game, Kevin, I
7:54
Speaker 3: could still cry. It was such an emotional moment and wow, wow,
8:02
Speaker 3: wow wow.
8:03
Speaker 2: With any team, there's this issue of trusting the people
8:06
Speaker 2: that are around you, and you have to have that
8:09
Speaker 2: not just camaraderie, but that real confidence that you're going
8:14
Speaker 2: to do your job and they're going to do their job,
8:16
Speaker 2: and you hang together when you're you know, when you're
8:21
Speaker 2: in those moments that you can have a lot of
8:23
Speaker 2: doubt creep in. And every single game they lost the
8:27
Speaker 2: lead and were down big. In Game four, the second
8:32
Speaker 2: to last game where they won it the last minute
8:34
Speaker 2: because on a nobe, you know, stuck it back in.
8:38
Speaker 2: Like they had to overcome a twenty nine point deficit,
8:41
Speaker 2: biggest deficit ever to come from behind in the in
8:44
Speaker 2: the in the finals. And I think once they did that,
8:47
Speaker 2: I really did think that from that point on, they
8:49
Speaker 2: were like, We're we're unstoppable because not because we're arrogant,
8:53
Speaker 2: but because we know how to work and work and
8:55
Speaker 2: work and work and do the work and trust one
8:57
Speaker 2: another and not have an ego, but just get the
9:01
Speaker 2: job done. And boy did they set a clinic on that, Like,
9:04
Speaker 2: I want every young basketball player in America to look
9:08
Speaker 2: at this next team and go, that's how you do it.
9:11
Speaker 2: If you're a superstar and you have all the ability,
9:14
Speaker 2: that's fine, you still need to adopt this mentality. And
9:17
Speaker 2: the other team was loaded with talent. People don't remember
9:20
Speaker 2: that Wimby was the MVP and he was the defensive
9:23
Speaker 2: Player of the Year because he's so long it can
9:25
Speaker 2: block everything. And then they say that the kid off
9:29
Speaker 2: the bench, Harper, who is the son of Ron Harper,
9:32
Speaker 2: former All Star and three terms Bulls player. Yea, they said,
9:35
Speaker 2: oh that they put.
9:36
Speaker 4: To John Moscow by the way, he went to John Bosco.
9:39
Speaker 2: They say that they had all the talent, but what
9:41
Speaker 2: did the talent get them? That that team was not
9:44
Speaker 2: able to work together. And only did they not work together,
9:46
Speaker 2: they choked. They just gave up lead after lead after lead.
9:49
Speaker 2: But that was partly because the Knicks were pressing them,
9:52
Speaker 2: playing so different, playing so strongly as a team on
9:54
Speaker 2: the other side. So anyway, it was fantastic, What a
9:58
Speaker 2: wonderful weekend. But we we have even bigger news to
10:01
Speaker 2: get to stay with us. Don't go anywhere. It's traveling
10:07
Speaker 2: from New York.
10:08
Speaker 1: It's Radio night Life with Kevin McCullough.
10:12
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back travel Tuesday. She's Lynda, I'm Kevin.
10:14
Speaker 2: And sometimes we talk about travel. Sometimes we just talked
10:19
Speaker 2: about the next Yeah.
10:21
Speaker 1: I love it well, I.
10:22
Speaker 4: Love New York.
10:23
Speaker 2: The other big thing that came out of the weekend
10:26
Speaker 2: was that you saw on Sunday night. You know, President
10:28
Speaker 2: Trump was talking about we have a deal. We have
10:30
Speaker 2: a deal, and nobody knew what the deal had in it.
10:33
Speaker 2: We didn't know all the details, et cetera. Well, turns
10:36
Speaker 2: out that it was a memo of understanding, which business
10:41
Speaker 2: people know what that terms a lot. But here's here's
10:47
Speaker 2: here's what we're doing. The President and the Vice President
10:51
Speaker 2: both signed the deal electronically, and for the Iranians, the
10:56
Speaker 2: Speaker of the parliament signed And this is basically what
11:04
Speaker 2: it's going to be. The first step is to sign
11:05
Speaker 2: this memo agreeing on all the terms. This week they're
11:08
Speaker 2: going to hammer out the technicalities of what all that
11:11
Speaker 2: means and have an actual signing of actual paper in Geneva,
11:16
Speaker 2: and then they start working on the the actual doing
11:19
Speaker 2: of the things. Now there's going to be several things
11:21
Speaker 2: that they're going to be involved with. But in exchange
11:24
Speaker 2: for getting rid of all nuclear material in their country,
11:29
Speaker 2: the US will allow some sanctions relief to go through.
11:34
Speaker 2: But the Vice President said, but I want you to understand,
11:38
Speaker 2: Iran is not getting a dime of money unless they
11:41
Speaker 2: perform their apation. The money that we're talking about fundamentally
11:45
Speaker 2: sanctions relief. It's not all those billions of dollars that
11:48
Speaker 2: Obama was pumping them with for no for no good reason.
11:53
Speaker 2: And then and then this is a good story too.
11:56
Speaker 2: The Iranian President Massud Pajecki, who a couple of weeks ago,
12:03
Speaker 2: tried to resign. He resigned, and then the IRGC said
12:07
Speaker 2: you can't resign, and he said, no, but I need
12:09
Speaker 2: to resign because you guys are not really negotiating. You're
12:12
Speaker 2: not letting me negotiate on behalf of the country. And
12:15
Speaker 2: he went back and forth with him. Well, that struggle,
12:19
Speaker 2: kind of ideologically and kind of principally in front of
12:22
Speaker 2: the Iranian people, has really garnered support. And the Supreme
12:27
Speaker 2: National Security Council, which is the group that kind of
12:32
Speaker 2: votes on all this stuff, by more than ninety percent,
12:37
Speaker 2: supported the signing. Of the agreement and the full implementation
12:41
Speaker 2: could resolve many of the country's problems create new conditions
12:45
Speaker 2: in Iran and the Middle East, and from their chief negotiator,
12:50
Speaker 2: his name is Mohammad Bager Gala Broth or something like that,
12:54
Speaker 2: has praised his nation's people for their historic resistance. In
12:58
Speaker 2: other words, the bullies in Iran are not going to
13:03
Speaker 2: be able to outlast the will of the people, and
13:07
Speaker 2: that would have never happened had Israel and America not
13:11
Speaker 2: defamed the IRGC. They just don't have any weapons or
13:15
Speaker 2: power or tools at their disposal anymore to be able
13:18
Speaker 2: to do this. So cooler heads, it appears, are prevailing
13:23
Speaker 2: in the in the in the parliament, and in the
13:25
Speaker 2: President's office. And can you imagine, Linda, I'm just just
13:29
Speaker 2: think about this for a second. A year ago, you know,
13:33
Speaker 2: Iran hates this. Death to America, death to Israel, death
13:36
Speaker 2: to the Big Satan, death to the Little Satan. This
13:39
Speaker 2: is there, This is how they've trained their you know,
13:41
Speaker 2: supposedly their kids for all these years. We could be
13:45
Speaker 2: looking at before the end of summer, before the end
13:49
Speaker 2: of next month, maybe before the fourth of July, we
13:53
Speaker 2: could be looking at and Iran that has a friendly
13:57
Speaker 2: relationship with the West, has no more new clear material
14:01
Speaker 2: within their possession, and is actually contributing to the welfare
14:04
Speaker 2: of the region that they live in, not bullying it
14:07
Speaker 2: with ballistic missiles pointed at everybody saying do what we
14:10
Speaker 2: want or we're going to blow you up. This is
14:13
Speaker 2: a seismic realignment of how that region will operate and act.
14:18
Speaker 2: And I believe President Trump a couple of weeks ago
14:21
Speaker 2: he said, look, if we do this right, we could
14:24
Speaker 2: get the Saudis and the Iranians to join the Abraham
14:28
Speaker 2: Accords and have true peace, lots of commerce, independent free
14:33
Speaker 2: travel throughout the entire region, and countries that literally don't
14:37
Speaker 2: hate each other anymore. That would be amazing.
14:41
Speaker 4: And let me tell you, it would be amazing. I
14:45
Speaker 4: there's a couple things going on. One, you have the
14:50
Speaker 4: uh I'm going to say that democracy that exists in
14:54
Speaker 4: Iran via the president and via that you know, faction
15:00
Speaker 4: of people, however, and they are probably very happy to
15:04
Speaker 4: get westernized, and they're probably very happy to be friends
15:08
Speaker 4: with the United States.
15:10
Speaker 2: Well before the Iotolas took over.
15:12
Speaker 4: Crazy, Well, what about the Iotolas and what about their
15:17
Speaker 4: group of crazies that are over there. How are they
15:22
Speaker 4: going to react to this and what is going to
15:25
Speaker 4: be their reaction? Are they going to retaliate? Do we
15:28
Speaker 4: have to get nervous about what they're going to do?
15:30
Speaker 4: Or do they not even hold that much power?
15:35
Speaker 2: That's what I'm beginning to think because and what we
15:39
Speaker 2: found out was after Israel and America launched Epic Fury,
15:44
Speaker 2: we found out that all of their bluster really wasn't
15:47
Speaker 2: very much bluster, Like they didn't have like they fired
15:50
Speaker 2: missiles at their neighbors, They couldn't even hit American targets
15:55
Speaker 2: like they were. The stuff that they claimed that they
15:58
Speaker 2: could do to hold everyone captive was so hearts. Yeah,
16:02
Speaker 2: and we've already eliminated. We know, we've already eliminated about
16:05
Speaker 2: the top five or six complete layers of that leadership.
16:09
Speaker 2: And I think what you're getting down to is what
16:11
Speaker 2: my friend Katie McFarlane says on my show A Lot,
16:13
Speaker 2: that you're starting to get down to people that are like,
16:16
Speaker 2: wait a minute, I don't want this as my future.
16:19
Speaker 2: This is not what I signed up for. And some
16:22
Speaker 2: of them are old enough to remember fifty years ago
16:25
Speaker 2: when they did have freedom. Did you know this. This
16:27
Speaker 2: is astounding, and I think it's so heartbreaking, and you
16:30
Speaker 2: never hear anybody from the left in America point this out.
16:33
Speaker 2: But before the Iatolas came back into power, and Jimmy
16:37
Speaker 2: Carter himself helped fly the first Iatola back in nineteen
16:41
Speaker 2: seventy nine, I mean, it's we did this to them.
16:44
Speaker 2: But the idea that before that time, Iran had the
16:50
Speaker 2: highest capita of women in law school becoming lawyers, in
16:55
Speaker 2: medical school becoming doctors, and in other trades public trades
17:01
Speaker 2: of any country on the planet. They had more women
17:06
Speaker 2: expressing real ambition and through real pursuits than any country
17:11
Speaker 2: on the planet. And the Iotolus came in and took
17:15
Speaker 2: that all, not only took that all away from them,
17:16
Speaker 2: said no, you'll go in the burkas and the girls
17:19
Speaker 2: won't be educated anymore. That's what they've had for fifty years.
17:23
Speaker 2: I know that this would be this will be such
17:26
Speaker 2: a better future for them. We're not going to tell
17:28
Speaker 2: them who to put in office, and we're not going
17:30
Speaker 2: to try to, you know, regime change this thing. That's
17:34
Speaker 2: going to have to be their decision. But we have
17:36
Speaker 2: found some leaders now that we can at least work
17:39
Speaker 2: with and get the biggest dangers removed. And I think
17:42
Speaker 2: that once those are removed, now we start looking at
17:44
Speaker 2: a completely different ballgame. And that thing that I think
17:48
Speaker 2: is going to be even more miraculous is that he
17:51
Speaker 2: was willing to hold the line and do the right
17:53
Speaker 2: thing even if he couldn't get it done in time
17:56
Speaker 2: for it to impact the election. If this goes through
18:00
Speaker 2: on the timeline that looks like they're trying to get
18:03
Speaker 2: it done by, we're going to have much lower gas prices,
18:07
Speaker 2: you know, before Labor doing. And yeah, if you have
18:11
Speaker 2: them before Labor Day, I think that the elections don't
18:13
Speaker 2: go nearly as badly against the Republicans as what people
18:16
Speaker 2: have been thinking they would. So it's going to be
18:19
Speaker 2: And I'm not I don't care. Friends don't write me letters.
18:22
Speaker 2: I'm not a Republican blowhard. I am more concerned about
18:27
Speaker 2: the dangers of the left than I am about saying
18:30
Speaker 2: that the right does anything properly. Exactly to me, it's
18:34
Speaker 2: stopping the greatest evil from taking over. It's not because
18:37
Speaker 2: I think that the people that were putting in their
18:38
Speaker 2: place are perfect. Even I don't even think trumps, but
18:43
Speaker 2: I do think that he is cag and he has
18:45
Speaker 2: a lot of wisdom and he has shown it time
18:47
Speaker 2: and again. And I think that this is going to
18:50
Speaker 2: have a lot of repercussive good impact on global travel.
18:55
Speaker 4: And well, look at the tariffs, same thing. Right, he
18:58
Speaker 4: came out and he did this crazy stuff. But we're better.
19:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've got a lot of money coming into
19:04
Speaker 2: our coffers that we didn't have before. All right, hold
19:06
Speaker 2: that thought. Coming right back. It's Travel Night.
19:14
Speaker 1: Now, I'm from New York. Back to radio night life.
19:17
Speaker 1: You're Kevin mccollor.
19:19
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back. She's Linda. I'm Kevin. It's Travel Night,
19:22
Speaker 2: and Linda, there's so much interesting stuff about travel. And again,
19:28
Speaker 2: I hope that the war and all the style the
19:31
Speaker 2: progress there is going to make global travel even better.
19:34
Speaker 2: But you know a lot of people are staying home.
19:36
Speaker 2: They're looking at things and they're saying, I want to
19:38
Speaker 2: visit someplace new in the US this summer. And there's
19:41
Speaker 2: kind of a cool story coming from a place we
19:43
Speaker 2: wouldn't expect it. Tell us about it.
19:45
Speaker 4: Yeah, Tempe Arizona. And I've been to Tempe, Arizona, and
19:50
Speaker 4: I was very surprised keV that they're doing what they're
19:54
Speaker 4: going to be doing. So Tempe Arizona is going.
19:58
Speaker 2: To portion of Tempe. This is just one second.
20:01
Speaker 4: Portion of Tempsie right there you go, is going to
20:06
Speaker 4: stop cars and is going to make it very walkable
20:11
Speaker 4: and allow people to just uh walk around enjoy what
20:18
Speaker 4: they were saying here, restaurants and shopping and uh you
20:23
Speaker 4: know all those things that we have. We've done this
20:25
Speaker 4: in New York City though before too, right, we've blocked
20:28
Speaker 4: off the.
20:29
Speaker 2: Bike lanes, like the whole like most of times Square
20:32
Speaker 2: is now barely passable by cars. Like they've really turned
20:36
Speaker 2: it into a big park.
20:38
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is. And I think that this is going
20:41
Speaker 4: to it's going to be considered the first a car
20:45
Speaker 4: free neighborhood in the US, and residents say it feels
20:48
Speaker 4: like living in Europe. It's called cul de Sac in
20:52
Speaker 4: Tempe Arizona, and it's going to replace parking lots and
20:56
Speaker 4: traffic with walkable streets, courtyards, shops, and trans connections. So
21:02
Speaker 4: I think this is a fabulous idea.
21:05
Speaker 2: One of my favorite things to do, especially in other countries,
21:08
Speaker 2: is to be in those sections where you can just
21:11
Speaker 2: navigate and walk. I think when I took my bride
21:15
Speaker 2: to Paris for our fifteenth anniversary. We one day walked
21:20
Speaker 2: twelve miles, twelve miles.
21:23
Speaker 4: Without even realizing it, without.
21:26
Speaker 2: Barely realizing it. And by the time we got done,
21:28
Speaker 2: you know that we had, like, I don't know, one hundred
21:30
Speaker 2: and fifty thousand steps. So say it was crazy what
21:32
Speaker 2: we had, but it was. But you got lost. You
21:35
Speaker 2: just got lost in the city and the discovery of everything.
21:38
Speaker 2: And I wish there were more places like that, to
21:40
Speaker 2: be honest, in America, because I think, you know, I
21:43
Speaker 2: like the suburbs. I like the convenience of cars. I
21:46
Speaker 2: like being able to go and get where I need
21:47
Speaker 2: to go and that kind of thing. But I do
21:50
Speaker 2: there is a piece of me that enjoys the kind
21:52
Speaker 2: of unfettered just you know, walking and exploring and pedestrianing
21:57
Speaker 2: it out.
21:59
Speaker 4: I agree with you. So this is what they call
22:01
Speaker 4: a purpose built neighborhood, right, So it's been manufactured to
22:07
Speaker 4: do exactly what it's going to be doing. So they
22:10
Speaker 4: traded car filled streets and parking garages for it, says
22:14
Speaker 4: dense whitewashed housing situated around plazas that are lined with
22:19
Speaker 4: restaurants and shops. And we figured that right, uh, paved
22:23
Speaker 4: pathways and it's like a neighborhood of the future. Right,
22:27
Speaker 4: there's going to be a pool, a gym, a coworking space,
22:32
Speaker 4: which I find very interesting, but a lot of those
22:34
Speaker 4: are popping up. We have Mars Town to a dog park.
22:39
Speaker 4: So instead of jump, they said, instead of jumping in
22:41
Speaker 4: a car and driving to work, you're going to be
22:43
Speaker 4: able to walk or go to the co working space
22:45
Speaker 4: or you know whatever. And there's a National forest nearby,
22:49
Speaker 4: so if you want to go and take a hike,
22:51
Speaker 4: which I think a lot of people should do. I
22:54
Speaker 4: love it and I think that it's a great thing.
22:58
Speaker 4: So so this is just going to enhance the beauty
23:01
Speaker 4: of an already beautiful Arizona and Tempe is fabulous. So listen.
23:07
Speaker 4: I can't wait till I'm actually gonna go visit keV No.
23:10
Speaker 2: I think it would be fun to do that. In fact,
23:12
Speaker 2: I think it would be fun to do a show
23:13
Speaker 2: from there. But the neighborhood has what six hundred units
23:18
Speaker 2: according to an architect firm called Opticos. That includes studio's
23:22
Speaker 2: one bedroom, two bedroom, three bedroom homes, and then there
23:25
Speaker 2: are more than twenty apartment designs and floor plans that
23:28
Speaker 2: you can choose from, so it's like it is kind of.
23:33
Speaker 4: Being in Greece. One of them said, President cul de
23:35
Speaker 4: Sac Residence, and it's like being in Greece. How beautiful
23:39
Speaker 4: is that? I'm going That's it.
23:41
Speaker 2: And the monthly rates for the studio start at thirteen hundred.
23:45
Speaker 2: Compare that to Manhattan prices. Yez, you can't. You can't
23:49
Speaker 2: get into a studio here under probably sixty five hundred
23:52
Speaker 2: sixty five.
23:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right.
23:53
Speaker 2: Six studio studio.
23:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh my god. Crazy New York is crazy. Sorry,
23:58
Speaker 4: I'm not a fan.
23:59
Speaker 2: Nope, we are.
24:00
Speaker 4: It's not a fan.
24:02
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I'm not gonna lie. This last weekend,
24:05
Speaker 2: I was in the city for a thing and they
24:07
Speaker 2: allowed us to bring plus ones and so my bride
24:10
Speaker 2: and I got to spend just the after we checked
24:13
Speaker 2: out of the hotel and they put us up at
24:15
Speaker 2: the at the Carlisle. Not a bad deal. But we
24:19
Speaker 2: spent all Saturday just walking up and down Madison Avenue,
24:23
Speaker 2: which we used to do when we were younger, when
24:24
Speaker 2: we first moved out here. But it was fun to do,
24:28
Speaker 2: like just to walk to go into the things that
24:31
Speaker 2: she wanted to see because there wasn't any stores on
24:32
Speaker 2: Madison Avenue I cared about much. And then you know
24:36
Speaker 2: where we ended up was the Dior spot at fifty
24:41
Speaker 2: seventh and Madison, and they the Dior store there is
24:46
Speaker 2: you know, it's typical door bags and stuff. But the
24:48
Speaker 2: lady that was waiting on us just struck up a
24:51
Speaker 2: conversation with my bride and she goes, you know what,
24:53
Speaker 2: there's this. We're starting a little tea room just around
24:56
Speaker 2: the corner and I can get you in personally, totally
24:59
Speaker 2: compliments of the house. And we went and had a
25:01
Speaker 2: cup of tea after all of it, and it was
25:02
Speaker 2: like that was the perfect perfect ending. Anyway, be right back,
25:05
Speaker 2: she's Lynda. I'm Kevin.
25:06
Speaker 4: Okaway what a little moonline can do.
25:14
Speaker 2: It's radio night life. Here's Kevin mccollor. Welcome back. It's
25:18
Speaker 2: travel night. And there are things that we talk about
25:21
Speaker 2: that aren't related to travel at all. And then some
25:24
Speaker 2: of the travel stories we talk about are kind of interesting,
25:26
Speaker 2: including one about butter Lady Linda.
25:29
Speaker 4: I don't know, Kevin, this is actually stupid, but let's
25:32
Speaker 4: talk about it early, because stupidity should be on our
25:35
Speaker 4: agenda sometimes just to vent about how stupid this is
25:40
Speaker 4: and actually travel and leisure, and I like travel and leisure.
25:43
Speaker 4: I cannot believe that this piece made it into their repertoire.
25:48
Speaker 4: So this guy, okay, his name is Elliot Harrell. Apparently
25:52
Speaker 4: he wrote the story, tried bringing butter butter through airport
25:56
Speaker 4: security to see what TSA would do. And here's what happened.
26:00
Speaker 4: He says that butter is having its day and people
26:05
Speaker 4: are trying to bring butter back from all different parts
26:10
Speaker 4: of the world. So he decided, going through the Cincinnati
26:14
Speaker 4: airport that he would bring butter and put it in
26:18
Speaker 4: his carry on and see what happened. It was not illegal.
26:24
Speaker 4: He wanted to know. Basically, if you bring it back
26:27
Speaker 4: as a solid, this is like a science experiment now
26:30
Speaker 4: and it's like what your teacher would give you to
26:32
Speaker 4: do old this summer. Yeah, so if you're bringing it back, okay,
26:38
Speaker 4: what happens. Is it considered a solid? Is it considered
26:42
Speaker 4: a liquid? Because the TSA is now allowing three point
26:46
Speaker 4: four ounces or less contained in a quart size bag
26:51
Speaker 4: or in that little bag, right, which actually is more
26:56
Speaker 4: than they were. Remember they were two ounces I think
26:58
Speaker 4: at one time, right, I'm the worst person ask because
27:01
Speaker 4: do as I say. Now as I do. I carry
27:04
Speaker 4: full size toiletries with me and my kids are like,
27:08
Speaker 4: you're crazy.
27:09
Speaker 2: But do you put them in the in the carry
27:11
Speaker 2: on or do you pack them?
27:12
Speaker 4: No, they're packed in my yeah, my suitcase, because why
27:17
Speaker 4: buy them the next time I need to travel?
27:19
Speaker 2: Stop? You could you could easily pack the butter in
27:22
Speaker 2: your suitcase too. Check.
27:24
Speaker 4: Well, apparently he didn't do that, So there was speculation
27:27
Speaker 4: last year that TSA might discontinue the policy that requires
27:31
Speaker 4: ol liquids to be packed three point four ounces or more.
27:34
Speaker 4: So he gets this thing through. And apparently he did
27:38
Speaker 4: get his butter through. But like Kevin, who cares about
27:43
Speaker 4: the butter? Tell me what I don't understand the importance
27:48
Speaker 4: of this entire experiment, was you tell me?
27:51
Speaker 2: Well, I I don't know what's in his mind, Like
27:54
Speaker 2: it's it's impossible for me to see what. But I
27:57
Speaker 2: will say that there are some butters that are so
28:00
Speaker 2: good that you would want to pack them and bring
28:02
Speaker 2: them home.
28:03
Speaker 4: And really, I've had some Paris, he says, Paris, Paris
28:07
Speaker 4: has really good butter runch butter.
28:10
Speaker 2: What so, what butter do you have in your So
28:12
Speaker 2: you're you're the Italian Nona. You've you've got the you've
28:16
Speaker 2: got the packed pantry and the fridge.
28:18
Speaker 4: You don't want to know what.
28:20
Speaker 2: Brand of butter is in Linda Parillo's refrigerator.
28:23
Speaker 4: Okay, would I want to do something really special?
28:27
Speaker 2: Now? I mean, right now, what butter do you have
28:29
Speaker 2: in your fridge?
28:30
Speaker 4: Probably a Wegmans?
28:32
Speaker 2: Okay, well, there you go.
28:34
Speaker 4: I don't use a lot of butter. I don't fry
28:35
Speaker 4: a lot. I'm very careful. I don't do all that stuff. However,
28:39
Speaker 4: when it comes to needing good butter for baking and
28:42
Speaker 4: for cooking, Kerry Gold.
28:44
Speaker 2: Carry gold Ireland. Yeah it does.
28:47
Speaker 4: That comes from Ireland. But I don't understand why we
28:51
Speaker 4: need to we get imported butter here. You can buy
28:54
Speaker 4: gourmet butter anywhere, for example, Kerry Gold, Right, why do
28:58
Speaker 4: we need to bring it back from Paris? They use Listen,
29:02
Speaker 4: Europeans do a lot more with They don't do a
29:05
Speaker 4: lot of salt, so they don't do a lot of
29:07
Speaker 4: salted butter, right. I mean the only thing that the
29:10
Speaker 4: Italians like to salt is your pasta water. They call
29:13
Speaker 4: ben salata very you know, well salted pasta water. But
29:18
Speaker 4: they're butters if you go to spread it on a
29:21
Speaker 4: piece of bread, it's cream. It's it's not a salted butter,
29:24
Speaker 4: it's a cream butter. So I don't understand why. I mean,
29:28
Speaker 4: the cows are better. Do they taste better? They have
29:31
Speaker 4: more fat? No, but seriously, there may be more fat
29:33
Speaker 4: content that gives it a more adelar flavor.
29:36
Speaker 2: Well, in northern Italy, even within Italy, in northern Italy,
29:40
Speaker 2: there's that section and I'm trying to remember which portion
29:43
Speaker 2: of the country that it's in. That's in the higher altitude,
29:45
Speaker 2: that's in the mountains. But there's these cows that only
29:49
Speaker 2: they only raise up on those mountains, and they only
29:52
Speaker 2: eat the grasses that are grown on those mountains. And
29:54
Speaker 2: they say that the butter and the milk and the
29:58
Speaker 2: cream that they get from those cows are unlike anything
30:01
Speaker 2: else that you taste on like raw milk.
30:03
Speaker 4: Here, it's probably you know, like you know a little
30:06
Speaker 4: bit akin to like raw milk, like when we get
30:09
Speaker 4: like fresh raw milk from a dairy where they have
30:12
Speaker 4: done nothing to it. There's no pasteurization, of homogenization, nothing, right,
30:16
Speaker 4: So you get that cream on the top, and then
30:18
Speaker 4: you get the raw milk on the bottom and if they.
30:20
Speaker 2: Say your own griss, the climate, the grass and ha
30:26
Speaker 2: has and for however, many centuries, these these families that
30:30
Speaker 2: live in these areas have been raising this type of
30:33
Speaker 2: cattle specifically for these products because they're the only place
30:37
Speaker 2: on earth that you can get them in there.
30:40
Speaker 4: Why does everything taste better when you're in Italy? Why
30:42
Speaker 4: does everything taste better? Because when you come over here
30:44
Speaker 4: and you try to mimic the way they cook, the
30:47
Speaker 4: way they did this, the way they did that, because
30:49
Speaker 4: our FDA has certain restrictions even on our imports, that
30:54
Speaker 4: make the food taste differently. Oh, and we can never
31:00
Speaker 4: really get it right. You eat something here that we
31:02
Speaker 4: say is authentic Italian, and I clock very authentically. It's
31:06
Speaker 4: never the same as when I go over there. Where
31:09
Speaker 4: I'm going in two weeks, by the way, Yeah.
31:11
Speaker 2: And where are you going? Specifically?
31:13
Speaker 4: We are going to Venice, we are going to Florence,
31:15
Speaker 4: we are going to Naples, and we are going to
31:16
Speaker 4: Rome twelve days with my kids in tow on a
31:20
Speaker 4: perillo tour. So it ought to be interesting and fun
31:23
Speaker 4: at the same time.
31:24
Speaker 2: Wow, that'll be fun. Yeah, So was there anything that
31:28
Speaker 2: you've ever tried food? Stuffs wise to get through in
31:31
Speaker 2: your carry on that you got stopped for.
31:33
Speaker 4: Nope, because I think I knew early on. Don't do that.
31:37
Speaker 4: They will stop you and they will take it out.
31:39
Speaker 4: Watch Contraband on the Discoverage History Discovery channel right before
31:45
Speaker 4: Josh Gates every Monday. We watch them try to get
31:48
Speaker 4: stuff through the Mexican border, and it's like, why are
31:51
Speaker 4: you making these attempts? You stupid people. You know you're
31:56
Speaker 4: going to get caught. The same thing with customs. However,
31:59
Speaker 4: let me say this, there are places after security in
32:04
Speaker 4: these airports like Italy right that where they have packaged
32:08
Speaker 4: salami and cheese is specifically for you to bring home.
32:13
Speaker 4: You can wait for that. You don't need to bring home.
32:17
Speaker 4: You know non no Marias you know Parmigiano that she
32:21
Speaker 4: just got from the cow. I mean, that's not going
32:24
Speaker 4: to make it. It's not going to cut it well.
32:26
Speaker 2: And now it's so simple to go to those places
32:29
Speaker 2: and just to ship it. Just you know, there's there's
32:32
Speaker 2: this one shop in one of the towns in the
32:35
Speaker 2: north that's not far from Lake Majore, and we spent
32:40
Speaker 2: some time in there and they do gourmet olive oils.
32:43
Speaker 2: And different things. And then they had a wine tasting
32:47
Speaker 2: that they held for us, but they had a lot
32:48
Speaker 2: of specialty foods and they had to taste a number
32:52
Speaker 2: of them, and we were like, this is all wonderful.
32:54
Speaker 2: We didn't intend to bring anything back in our bags.
32:57
Speaker 2: We backed a big box and shipped it from the store.
33:00
Speaker 2: And usually those stores will have better rates on shipping
33:04
Speaker 2: because they've got they've got a system in place that you.
33:07
Speaker 4: Cannot bringing it back with you. Get it shipped, I
33:09
Speaker 4: say to ye, and when.
33:10
Speaker 2: You get home, it's waiting for you. So it's like
33:13
Speaker 2: waiting for you.
33:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, listen, make it easy on yourself. Stop
33:17
Speaker 4: trying to pack stuff, getting stuff through. They will go
33:19
Speaker 4: through your luggage, they will take things to start.
33:22
Speaker 2: Yeah. All right, Coming back with Perilla's pointers, some go.
33:25
Speaker 1: Away once again from New York. Here's Radio night Life
33:33
Speaker 1: and Kevin McCullough.
33:35
Speaker 2: Welcome back. She's Lenda Perilla. I'm Kevin McCullough, final few
33:38
Speaker 2: minutes of Radio nine Live, the Travel Night and Linda.
33:42
Speaker 2: For people that were recently grotesquely interrupted in their travel
33:46
Speaker 2: plans because of the partial government shutdown, there may be
33:50
Speaker 2: a new answer to this. What does it entail.
33:54
Speaker 4: It's the new TSA Gold Plus program, which is going
33:58
Speaker 4: to privatize a screen at more US airports. So I think,
34:03
Speaker 4: basically in a nutshell here, Kevin, So I just got
34:06
Speaker 4: a TSA pre added to my profile and listen, it
34:10
Speaker 4: was so easy to do. I already had Clear. Clear
34:14
Speaker 4: was like the precursor to all of this stuff, right,
34:17
Speaker 4: so now Clear has become a little not antiquated, it's
34:20
Speaker 4: just not as woke as some of this other stuff.
34:24
Speaker 4: So I did get the TSA pre and it does
34:27
Speaker 4: cut down on the line considerably. The big thing apart
34:31
Speaker 4: from the line, and then I'll get to this in
34:32
Speaker 4: a second, is not having to take your laptop out,
34:37
Speaker 4: not having to take off your shoes, I think, which
34:39
Speaker 4: is pretty rope by now anyway, not having to take
34:43
Speaker 4: off your jacket. I mean, it's really if you can
34:46
Speaker 4: get the TSA pre do it this. The gold is
34:50
Speaker 4: going to do an extra set of screening and allowing
34:55
Speaker 4: you to cut down on that line. But I think
34:57
Speaker 4: what they're trying to do is they're trying to get
34:59
Speaker 4: third party companies to do the screening in conjunction with TSA,
35:04
Speaker 4: which is going to do what Kevin, if there's ever
35:06
Speaker 4: another government shutdown, you're still going to have your screeners there,
35:11
Speaker 4: and if you are with TSA Gold plus Gold, you're
35:15
Speaker 4: going to be able to still go on your line
35:17
Speaker 4: and get through without having to deal with any of
35:19
Speaker 4: the other lines. So I think if you're going to
35:22
Speaker 4: drop a dime, because there's probably going to be a fee,
35:24
Speaker 4: there is a fee to do the presa right right
35:26
Speaker 4: right right, say pre as well, I would do it.
35:28
Speaker 4: And most of these people, you know, most corporations that
35:32
Speaker 4: cover their travel for their employees will cover stuff like
35:37
Speaker 4: this as well. So listen, I think anytime you could
35:41
Speaker 4: get something, Kevin that will eliminate stress and get you
35:45
Speaker 4: to the other side fast, just do it. Drop the
35:49
Speaker 4: dime and do it. You will love yourself for doing that.
35:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want the program that I can check the
35:54
Speaker 2: box where Hank doesn't get to feel up my leg anymore.
35:57
Speaker 2: Like that's that's the thing that I want. You like
36:00
Speaker 2: that carrot, And here's the weird thing.
36:04
Speaker 4: Like you know, they go, what's the weird thing?
36:07
Speaker 2: They go, We've got We've got you know, we need
36:10
Speaker 2: to step beside, sir, We've got something. I'm like, what
36:13
Speaker 2: I'm wearing? Nothing? What is it now and it's like
36:16
Speaker 2: a button on my jacket or something, and wow, well
36:19
Speaker 2: if it's on my jacket, then why are you feeling
36:21
Speaker 2: the inside of my leg? Like what's that all about? Like,
36:23
Speaker 2: just just leave me alone this like Eddie.
36:25
Speaker 4: Murphy and raw Remember I got the key, I got
36:29
Speaker 4: the key.
36:30
Speaker 2: I'm not I don't recall that part of.
36:32
Speaker 4: Oh my God that he was. He did a whole
36:34
Speaker 4: bit about going through airport security and the stuff that
36:37
Speaker 4: they find that they got all excited about like.
36:40
Speaker 2: That, Well, I think that this would be worth the
36:44
Speaker 2: investment and anything that comes to feed that up. The
36:47
Speaker 2: only thing that I don't want it to do is
36:49
Speaker 2: to create a lesser quality of actual screening, because the
36:53
Speaker 2: lessons of nine to eleven were we weren't paying attention,
36:56
Speaker 2: and we need to be paying attention all the time.
36:59
Speaker 2: Our enemies are getting smarter, they're getting.
37:02
Speaker 4: Well, that's the problem they're getting it's creating an issue, right.
37:06
Speaker 4: AI is going to create an issue, and Kevin can't
37:10
Speaker 4: be avoided. It's unfortunate. It cannot be avoided.
37:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, the AI for people that are even thinking, well,
37:16
Speaker 2: who do well, Okay, you hate AI, but it's here
37:19
Speaker 2: and there's nothing you can do about it. You better
37:21
Speaker 2: learn how to use it well in the day and
37:25
Speaker 2: age in which we are.
37:25
Speaker 4: Okay, be aware, be aware too.
37:28
Speaker 2: Linda, great show, Thank you as always, out to you soon. Okay, friends,
