Speaker 3: and here we are talking travel all things related to it.
1:06
Speaker 3: And uh, I should say the cover girl for stock
1:10
Speaker 3: photoshoot Weekend. Yeah, you didn't tell me anything, But first
1:15
Speaker 3: she didn't tell me you had columns coming out in
1:18
Speaker 3: the papers. Second, you didn't tell me about the book signings.
1:20
Speaker 3: Now you're not telling me about your photos. Are you
1:22
Speaker 3: just trying to exclude me from everything you're doing? And
1:25
Speaker 3: so I can't promote it for you.
1:27
Speaker 2: It's like a bad marriage, right.
1:31
Speaker 3: With me? You don't tell me what you're doing. It's
1:35
Speaker 3: crazy anyway. So what was with the photo shoot? What
1:38
Speaker 3: was that? What was that? Was that a connection to
1:40
Speaker 3: the article or what?
1:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, the one from Stroll magazine. Yeah, so I was
1:45
Speaker 4: on the cover of Stroll magazine and the disaster that
1:47
Speaker 4: will ran.
1:48
Speaker 3: Around twenty two. I might add like eight kids, my hey, kids,
1:52
Speaker 3: that's funny.
1:54
Speaker 2: That's how I'm supposed to look like a kids, you
1:56
Speaker 2: know what.
1:57
Speaker 4: But the story is there was a mix up with
2:00
Speaker 4: the pictures did not come out great, and I'm like
2:03
Speaker 4: a freak because I never looked good in pictures. So
2:08
Speaker 4: we didn't like the pictures. Christine agreed with me. We
2:10
Speaker 4: didn't like there was not a lot of Am.
2:12
Speaker 3: I going to start to phrase a lot on this show?
2:14
Speaker 4: Well Christine's oh yeah, yes, well Christine's But the point
2:19
Speaker 4: I'm making is that they said, no, you can't edit them.
2:22
Speaker 2: I said, what, what do you mean we can't edit.
2:25
Speaker 2: There's no photoshop. This is a magazine in twenty twenty six.
2:28
Speaker 4: So the long and short of it is, nobody told
2:31
Speaker 4: me the photographer was a freelancer, right, so I had
2:34
Speaker 4: to buy the pictures from him, and then I could
2:39
Speaker 4: have edited them the way I wanted and sent them
2:42
Speaker 4: off to the magazine. This was a total thing. We
2:46
Speaker 4: didn't even know any of this. So what did lind
2:48
Speaker 4: to do. I bought like three pictures that I could
2:51
Speaker 4: edit pretty well, and I put them on the Facebook
2:54
Speaker 4: post and I made it look like it was all, oh,
2:56
Speaker 4: it was good.
2:57
Speaker 3: No, it looked really good. I was like, he gets.
3:00
Speaker 2: Smart, Yeah, he gets start to get smart.
3:04
Speaker 3: You got to get up early to get around Linda.
3:06
Speaker 3: I mean, you do je mom of eight, because that's
3:08
Speaker 3: just that's your your out match right now.
3:10
Speaker 2: You're always thinking he always met any mom amy too,
3:13
Speaker 2: Like you're always.
3:14
Speaker 4: Thinking on your feet. How am I going to troubleshoot
3:16
Speaker 4: this and fix this? It's like, okay, give me a
3:18
Speaker 4: hot second.
3:19
Speaker 3: I will tell you got it. We got It'll tell you.
3:22
Speaker 3: She is not very pleased with with what's it called
3:25
Speaker 3: face tune? Is that what they do now?
3:27
Speaker 4: They face tune, Well, I'm stupid, so it's the only
3:31
Speaker 4: thing I know how to use.
3:32
Speaker 3: Really, two times in the last year we've had mutual
3:37
Speaker 3: friends that have taken a picture of her and when
3:40
Speaker 3: they published or sent that picture to other people, it
3:45
Speaker 3: had been face tuned. And she is very sensitive about changing,
3:50
Speaker 3: like she works very hard to look at the way
3:52
Speaker 3: she looks right, and so she doesn't want people changing things.
3:56
Speaker 3: But but two times in the last year, people that
3:59
Speaker 3: took pictures of her did that. She's like, if you're
4:03
Speaker 3: going to do it, at least tell me you're going
4:05
Speaker 3: to do it, don't you at least it?
4:06
Speaker 4: And then you know two schools of thought there, Kevin,
4:10
Speaker 4: face tune, if someone else is in the picture with you,
4:12
Speaker 4: I don't know.
4:13
Speaker 2: How to.
4:15
Speaker 4: Had ostracize somebody in the picture or just myself and
4:20
Speaker 4: isolate myself and just fix me. I don't know how
4:22
Speaker 4: to do that. So everyone else ends up ends up
4:25
Speaker 4: saying the same thing. They're like, you face tuned me too.
4:27
Speaker 2: Pat says it all the time.
4:29
Speaker 4: He goes, I'm a guy, I need to look like
4:32
Speaker 4: I'm face tune. I'm like, I know, but I had
4:35
Speaker 4: to do it for me, So you had to take
4:36
Speaker 4: the hit for the team.
4:37
Speaker 3: Yeah.
4:38
Speaker 2: Yes.
4:39
Speaker 3: On Mother's Day, part of the day traditionally we always
4:45
Speaker 3: do this is try to take some family pictures because
4:48
Speaker 3: everybody gets dressed up. And I took us to a
4:53
Speaker 3: new location this year, place that I had thought about
4:56
Speaker 3: taking photos for a long time but had never done it,
4:58
Speaker 3: and she was kind of tired to the old place.
5:00
Speaker 3: I said, hey, let's go try this new spot. So
5:04
Speaker 3: we did and they turned out phenomenal, which was fantastic.
5:09
Speaker 3: She wore this like blue color that looked really stood
5:12
Speaker 3: off against the green of the surroundings and so forth,
5:16
Speaker 3: and it just it ended up looking really really well.
5:19
Speaker 3: But we got into this whole discussion about you know,
5:23
Speaker 3: editing and so forth, and she's just not she's just
5:26
Speaker 3: not a fan of the post edit. She wants she
5:29
Speaker 3: wants everything to look proper and right, and I think
5:32
Speaker 3: it's but she has told me from a long long
5:35
Speaker 3: time there are rules about family photos, and the family
5:38
Speaker 3: photo rules, according to her, kind of go like this.
5:42
Speaker 3: The mom should look like the center of the photo,
5:46
Speaker 3: and everything in the photo should be built around the mom.
5:50
Speaker 3: So the kids the day, everybody kind of like they
5:53
Speaker 3: are they are the peripheral. You know, they're not unimportant
5:58
Speaker 3: to the picture, but you work on getting making the
6:00
Speaker 3: mom look good when you're posing and setting up the
6:02
Speaker 3: shot and everything else. Make sure the mom looks good first,
6:05
Speaker 3: and then pose everybody around her. And she doesn't do
6:09
Speaker 3: that because she's vain. She does that because evidently that's
6:13
Speaker 3: like what the royal family and other people have done
6:15
Speaker 3: through generations of photographic practice. So if you think about
6:21
Speaker 3: those really goofy like and everybody's seen them, like on
6:25
Speaker 3: Facebook or Instagram where they say, you know, horrible family
6:29
Speaker 3: pictures from the sixties and seventies, and there's like a
6:31
Speaker 3: whole batch of them. It's always the mom looking schlumpy
6:35
Speaker 3: or off to the side or something that makes the
6:38
Speaker 3: picture look so bad. So she's like, see, if you
6:41
Speaker 3: made the mom look good, here the whole compositive picture changes.
6:45
Speaker 3: So I think that's a good practice. And I'm not
6:48
Speaker 3: too much of a man to say, you know, hey, no,
6:50
Speaker 3: we can't do that. You can't be vain. Moms have
6:54
Speaker 3: the kids they kick They carry him around for nine
6:57
Speaker 3: months each they kick him out of their bodies. They
6:59
Speaker 3: put up with all all the sleepless nights and all
7:02
Speaker 3: the feedings and everything early on. It's right they've earned
7:05
Speaker 3: the right to be the queen of their own family photo.
7:08
Speaker 2: I agree with you, Kevin. I'm all about it.
7:12
Speaker 4: I'm gonna let my kids know that today we're going
7:14
Speaker 4: to have a family meeting about the next set of
7:16
Speaker 4: family Well.
7:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, so anyway, but I thought, I thought just the
7:22
Speaker 3: solo pictures of you looked really good. And if people
7:25
Speaker 3: haven't seen them and they want to go see them,
7:26
Speaker 3: what's your Facebook?
7:27
Speaker 2: It's just Linda Perillo Colinda on Facebook.
7:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're because Instagram is really where the kids are
7:33
Speaker 3: at now. Actually, the kids are all on TikTok. I
7:35
Speaker 3: don't know who's on Instagram, but there's a lot of
7:37
Speaker 3: people on.
7:37
Speaker 4: Instagrama Linda Perillo. Yeah, and I got to fix that,
7:41
Speaker 4: damn TikTok. I am so not video. I just I
7:44
Speaker 4: don't know what I'm doing. It's you know, you got
7:47
Speaker 4: to find the nine year old say okay, mom here.
7:49
Speaker 2: In thirteen seconds. It's like you did that, yeah, mom,
7:54
Speaker 2: thirteen seconds.
7:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.
7:55
Speaker 4: Like Devin says to me, stop with the long cuts.
7:58
Speaker 4: He calls them the long cut because there are short
8:01
Speaker 4: gods to seas like you're always using the long.
8:05
Speaker 3: Does he mean that the video itself is too long?
8:08
Speaker 2: No, everything I do on my phone and this bring
8:12
Speaker 2: just takes my phone. Just give me the phone. I'm
8:14
Speaker 2: sorry you got her.
8:16
Speaker 3: So the thing about this, like, I've been researching the difference,
8:20
Speaker 3: So I've looked up, you know, plausible, workable theories for
8:25
Speaker 3: the purposes of the different social media audiences and how
8:29
Speaker 3: the audiences react differently and do things which I'd never
8:33
Speaker 3: thought about, every one of them being a separate audience.
8:35
Speaker 3: And like, I just think, if you if you follow me,
8:37
Speaker 3: you just follow me. But if you follow me on TikTok,
8:41
Speaker 3: you probably have a different level of patients for the
8:43
Speaker 3: length of the cut and everything else. So I'm friending
8:45
Speaker 3: it better at all that. But when I when I
8:51
Speaker 3: asked the Google about what the best practice was, it
8:53
Speaker 3: was yeah, short videos five to ten seconds. Yeah, I'm like,
8:57
Speaker 3: oh my.
8:57
Speaker 4: Gosh, because that's all any what he's freaking attention span
9:01
Speaker 4: is of this generation.
9:03
Speaker 3: To a syndicated talk radio host and talks for three
9:06
Speaker 3: hours a day.
9:07
Speaker 2: This is right, very at it, very different, very different.
9:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, coming up, we're gonna talk travel. The
9:13
Speaker 3: hantavirus is making news everywhere mom's everywhere are all freaked
9:17
Speaker 3: out about it. We're gonna talk about that, there's a
9:19
Speaker 3: new way to get around New York City that has
9:22
Speaker 3: literally taken off in the last few days. Just a
9:25
Speaker 3: little hint there. And there's some other fun things that
9:29
Speaker 3: we're going to work in tonight, including airfares that may
9:31
Speaker 3: be as low as thirty eight dollars that Linda will
9:34
Speaker 3: tell you about, and our Perilla's pointers before we're done.
9:37
Speaker 3: But all that coming up. If you miss any of it,
9:39
Speaker 3: get the podcast. It's real simple. Just go online to
9:42
Speaker 3: that kevinshow dot com and under the section of bonus
9:45
Speaker 3: ceial you get to the travel Tuesday section. She's Lynda.
9:48

10:00
Speaker 2: Kevin recolor.
10:02
Speaker 3: A little more welcome back. It's Traveled Tuesday. She's Linda.
10:06
Speaker 3: She's Kevin, I'm Linda. That's that's the way it works. No,
10:09
Speaker 3: it's been a long day, had lots of meetings today.
10:12
Speaker 3: The president of the company, David Centrella, called all the
10:15
Speaker 3: syndicated guys in his office, so I don't know, you know,
10:18
Speaker 3: it's very serious stuff. Anyway, Speaking of serious, like, so
10:24
Speaker 3: it's in the news for like two weeks and nobody
10:25
Speaker 3: pays attention to it. And then all of a sudden,
10:28
Speaker 3: this last weekend, my bride pulled herself away from the
10:31
Speaker 3: food and fashion portion of the internets to see some
10:35
Speaker 3: headlines about this thing called hantavirus, and she started asking
10:38
Speaker 3: me like, every five minutes do you think this is
10:41
Speaker 3: going to be bad? What do you think it's going
10:42
Speaker 3: to be? How bad is it going to be? Is
10:43
Speaker 3: it going to be like COVID to go through stuff again?
10:45
Speaker 3: Shut stuff down? At what's going to happen to d
10:48
Speaker 3: And she started reading and then she'd asked me when
10:50
Speaker 3: she'd find some new facts. She'd asked me about that
10:52
Speaker 3: fact that I'd be like, I don't know. I didn't
10:53
Speaker 3: know anything before when you asked me five minutes ago,
10:55
Speaker 3: so I don't know anything. So it's like that was
10:58
Speaker 3: that was literally much of the weekend was what do
11:01
Speaker 3: you think about han hantavirus? And she this is one
11:06
Speaker 3: of the reasons, Linda, she will never never, never, never, never.
11:13
Speaker 3: She went on one since we've been married, and that
11:16
Speaker 3: was that was she had her filled. That was it.
11:18
Speaker 3: That was good. She need to do it. Ever again.
11:20
Speaker 3: But yeah, cruises freak her out because she says, practically
11:25
Speaker 3: on every cruise there's some form of neuro virus that's
11:27
Speaker 3: already there, because the way neuro virus is made is
11:30
Speaker 3: just you know, fecal and food, and at some point
11:33
Speaker 3: in time, if you're in a if you're in a
11:35
Speaker 3: floating box and that stuff's all contained contained in the box,
11:39
Speaker 3: then at some point you know something's going to come
11:41
Speaker 3: into contact with something. So that freaks her out to
11:43
Speaker 3: begin with. But then with COVID and now with hanta,
11:47
Speaker 3: you have this, uh, these breakouts of these super weird viruses.
11:51
Speaker 3: So what's your take on it? You do a lot
11:53
Speaker 3: of travel, you're also a mom. You care for this stuff.
11:56
Speaker 3: Hantavirus quotes.
11:58
Speaker 4: So you know who died of hand of virus, right,
12:01
Speaker 4: Gene Hackman's wife.
12:04
Speaker 2: Remember that's when I suicide.
12:06
Speaker 4: No, this is when I first heard of hantavirus. She
12:10
Speaker 4: had been looking up on Google all her symptoms and
12:15
Speaker 4: they did No, they were not murdered. She died of
12:19
Speaker 4: hantavirus on her own.
12:22
Speaker 2: In the house.
12:22
Speaker 4: She tried to self medicate, and then he died because
12:27
Speaker 4: he had Alzheimer's and didn't have her to take care
12:29
Speaker 4: of it.
12:29
Speaker 3: He died of car and around them together.
12:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's it. But they different clothes of death.
12:35
Speaker 4: So it is a disease carried by rodent feces. Okay,
12:40
Speaker 4: this is the first time I heard of it was
12:41
Speaker 4: when she died.
12:42
Speaker 3: Tell y'all.
12:44
Speaker 4: Yeah, So you know, listen, Kevin, I've been on this
12:47
Speaker 4: earth almost fifty nine years, and I think it's quite
12:49
Speaker 4: a good thing that this is the first time I'm
12:51
Speaker 4: hearing about handa virus. So anybody that has been interviewed
12:55
Speaker 4: about hand the virus and the ship because we'll get
12:57
Speaker 4: to that in a second, has said any of these
12:59
Speaker 4: diseases specialist has said.
13:01
Speaker 2: There is not going to be a pandemic.
13:04
Speaker 4: Why because it does not transfer from human to human
13:10
Speaker 4: very easily.
13:12
Speaker 2: It's not like a COVID. It's as transfer.
13:17
Speaker 4: So I think you have to come in actual contact
13:20
Speaker 4: with the feces. Now here's another thing. We live in
13:23
Speaker 4: northern New Jersey. I've lived in the woods of Saddle River.
13:26
Speaker 4: I live in the woods here in Madison. We've had mice.
13:29
Speaker 4: We've had mice in the house knock Wood. We're still alive.
13:33
Speaker 4: Nobody's sick. I think my personal opinion is first of all,
13:38
Speaker 4: when when they find something like this, a disease like
13:41
Speaker 4: this that gets people sick and people die, right, it
13:46
Speaker 4: becomes a focal point for a story, and they're going
13:49
Speaker 4: to carry this story as far as they can probably,
13:52
Speaker 4: this is my guest.
13:53
Speaker 2: And then it will.
13:54
Speaker 4: Evaporate like everything else evaporated, like COVID, Like you know,
13:58
Speaker 4: I mean COVID became a pandemic.
14:00
Speaker 2: I get it. This will not be a pandemic.
14:03
Speaker 4: So, second of all, yes, do you take a risk
14:06
Speaker 4: when you're going on a cruise ship. We know this neurovirus,
14:10
Speaker 4: like you said, is omnipresent. It's there, Okay, So they
14:14
Speaker 4: do make you follow certain protocol.
14:16
Speaker 2: They do make you wash your hands constantly.
14:18
Speaker 4: There's there's all kinds of hand sanitizers across the ship.
14:22
Speaker 4: And yes, is it a chance that you take when
14:24
Speaker 4: you go on a cruise ship. Yes, but there's a
14:27
Speaker 4: chance that you take every single day going out into public.
14:32
Speaker 4: Are there certain circumstances like being like people will say, well,
14:36
Speaker 4: I'm on a cruise ship, right, I'm enclosed quarters.
14:39
Speaker 3: Right, Technically you're a squarium, a floating aquer.
14:43
Speaker 4: Youre are in a floating aquarium. You're right, so, I
14:46
Speaker 4: mean you do have to keep that in mind. But
14:48
Speaker 4: I've been on so many cruises. I got sick once
14:51
Speaker 4: once in how many years, how many cruises, So I
14:55
Speaker 4: don't think that's going to negate my next opportunity to
14:59
Speaker 4: go on a cru And should we be aware, yes,
15:03
Speaker 4: we should be aware. But there are viruses all over
15:05
Speaker 4: the place, Kevin, that are that we don't.
15:08
Speaker 2: Even know have about deng gay fever. How about all
15:10
Speaker 2: these things that in Africa. The other thing is, let
15:13
Speaker 2: me ask you a question.
15:14
Speaker 4: I would never have taken this cruise ship, the Envy
15:19
Speaker 4: Hondias with ocean I think it's oceanic or something. They
15:23
Speaker 4: are like they were headed to Antarctica. They started out
15:29
Speaker 4: in South Africa. I mean, these are places I would
15:33
Speaker 4: never be anyway. These people were not taking a luxury
15:37
Speaker 4: liner that is cleaned and disinfected like lunatics.
15:44
Speaker 2: So that's my take on it.
15:46
Speaker 3: You knew I'd have an episode, So what kind of
15:47
Speaker 3: cruise is this? Then? Were people taking it for actual transportation?
15:51
Speaker 3: Were they?
15:52
Speaker 2: Now? I think they were taking it.
15:53
Speaker 4: It started out in Ushaia in the far south of Argentina,
15:58
Speaker 4: and the stops included Antarctica and several here's the keyword,
16:03
Speaker 4: isolated South Atlantic Ocean islands. So we're not mainstream cruising here,
16:11
Speaker 4: okay either, And I think that has something to do
16:14
Speaker 4: with it.
16:15
Speaker 2: Now, you go back in.
16:16
Speaker 4: The day, Kevin on ship's early ocean liners that did
16:20
Speaker 4: transatlantic crossings, you know, for example, like.
16:24
Speaker 2: The Andrea Doria.
16:25
Speaker 4: My ancestors came over on that ships like the Titanic,
16:30
Speaker 4: they had viruses. Those guys were dying of scurvy and
16:36
Speaker 4: all different kinds of rodent infested things. It's just unfortunately
16:39
Speaker 4: ships have this profile. But when you go to weird places,
16:42
Speaker 4: you get weird stuff.
16:44
Speaker 2: Yeah.
16:44
Speaker 3: Well, evidently it looks like the ship sets off April first,
16:49
Speaker 3: as you said, from the far southern tip of Argentina,
16:52
Speaker 3: going to Antarctica, stopping at several of those isolated South
16:56
Speaker 3: Atlantic Ocean islands. A seventy year old dutch Man gets
17:00
Speaker 3: off had gone sightseeing in Ushaia, and he and his
17:05
Speaker 3: wife board the ship and he starts having fevers and
17:10
Speaker 3: headaches and other problems. He develops the respiratory distress and
17:14
Speaker 3: dies on board. But he's seventy years old, right Again,
17:19
Speaker 3: elderly people more susceptible to viruses than of course, the
17:23
Speaker 3: rest six people joined the crews on April fifteenth, when
17:27
Speaker 3: the ship stops at the remote archipelage arch again these
17:32
Speaker 3: isolated questions where manuals live, and the dutch man's body
17:36
Speaker 3: remains on board, so they didn't even they didn't even
17:40
Speaker 3: get the.
17:41
Speaker 2: Dead guy goods really good.
17:43
Speaker 3: April twenty fourth, So he dies what he dies on
17:45
Speaker 3: the eleventh, and his body's still on there. On April
17:48
Speaker 3: the twenty fourth, taking me as disgusting at the island
17:52
Speaker 3: of Saint Helena, part of the British territory. His wife
17:54
Speaker 3: does some embarks, as do more than two dozen other
17:57
Speaker 3: passengers that were probably all in contact with her who
18:00
Speaker 3: had no doubtedly been in contact with him. Right, So
18:06
Speaker 3: the Dutch woman has symptoms. On the twenty fifth, takes
18:09
Speaker 3: a commercial flight.
18:12
Speaker 2: Oh that's so good, I'm so glad.
18:13
Speaker 3: She back to South Africa and she's around h passengers
18:17
Speaker 3: on that plane. Yeah, she dies in South Africa on
18:21
Speaker 3: April twenty sixth.
18:22
Speaker 2: Oh, she died too. So they were intimate.
18:26
Speaker 4: They were saying, like, you have that very very consistent
18:30
Speaker 4: intimate contact with somebody, so it's not easily transmissible like COVID.
18:36
Speaker 2: Right, coked er market.
18:38
Speaker 3: And get right came through the air and you could
18:41
Speaker 3: breathe on each other.
18:41
Speaker 4: This is not This is not the same and was
18:44
Speaker 4: Here's the other question too, Was this guy infected from
18:49
Speaker 4: being in another weird place before he got on the ship.
18:53
Speaker 2: Because it lies dormant.
18:55
Speaker 3: They think he picked it up in Ushea when he
18:57
Speaker 3: was touring before they launched the ship. She's Kevin, don't
19:01
Speaker 3: go anywhere from New York.
19:07
Speaker 2: It's Radio Night Life with Kevin McCullough.
19:12
Speaker 3: Welcome back. It's Travel Tuesday. She's Linda Perillo of v Perillos.
19:16
Speaker 3: I'm Kevin McCollum. Or maybe you saw her big cover
19:18
Speaker 3: Girl spread and Stroll magazine or her article in the
19:23
Speaker 3: Daily News over the weekend. She's you know the miss
19:27
Speaker 3: press these days of all things. Yeah, it's me, that's it.
19:31
Speaker 2: You're that's me.
19:33
Speaker 3: You're like to tell me I never get to bug anymore.
19:36
Speaker 3: So it's all all. It's good on you. We're talking
19:39
Speaker 3: about this hantavirus and he got it most likely before
19:43
Speaker 3: the ship even launched.
19:45
Speaker 2: Oh for sure.
19:46
Speaker 4: Well, the incubation period, you're right, they say the incubation
19:49
Speaker 4: period could be up to forty two days. Isn't that crazy?
19:53
Speaker 4: I mean, just when you just when you know what,
19:56
Speaker 4: it was safe to go back in the water, like
20:00
Speaker 4: days later.
20:01
Speaker 2: What the unbelievable.
20:03
Speaker 4: But I think that this and I don't know, Kevin,
20:06
Speaker 4: you can opine on this as well. I think this
20:08
Speaker 4: will be in and out. I think this is just
20:11
Speaker 4: a story to hook on too today because it's health
20:16
Speaker 4: and I think the circumstances are so weird.
20:19
Speaker 3: And this is the problem. And the problem is this.
20:21
Speaker 3: They ruined all of us with COVID, right correct. They misreported,
20:27
Speaker 3: they biasedly enforced coverage, They took sides on things that
20:33
Speaker 3: they shouldn't have. They should have the press should have
20:35
Speaker 3: been objective reporting facts, not citing with Fauci or against Fauci,
20:40
Speaker 3: just telling what facts were and proving what they could
20:43
Speaker 3: and not not just taking government's word for anything else.
20:46
Speaker 3: So what's happened? And I said this back during COVID
20:49
Speaker 3: and at the end and now since when we found
20:52
Speaker 3: out that basically everything we thought was a conspiracy theory
20:56
Speaker 3: wasn't like that. They like Fauci really was crooked and
20:58
Speaker 3: he really was doing bad stuff, and the vaccines didn't
21:02
Speaker 3: prevent anything. And like all the stuff that we thought
21:05
Speaker 3: that's now been proven true that has messed with our brains.
21:10
Speaker 3: So now, yes, I don't know if I'm hearing a
21:12
Speaker 3: TV network oh, virus virus, virus virus, if I'm all
21:16
Speaker 3: of a sudden all that concerned about it, And how
21:19
Speaker 3: do I know if you're not just lying to me
21:21
Speaker 3: again now anyway, that's why, that's why I have to
21:24
Speaker 3: be honest with you a wellness night where we have
21:26
Speaker 3: doctor Siegel and some others of actual medical profession that
21:30
Speaker 3: I have come on and actually tell us this stuff
21:33
Speaker 3: because I'm not going to take government's word for it
21:35
Speaker 3: ever again, Like it's just not going to be the
21:38
Speaker 3: way I'm gonna roll. I'm going to talk to medical
21:40
Speaker 3: people about medical things, and then I'll talk to the
21:42
Speaker 3: government about taxes and national defense. That's how I'll deal
21:45
Speaker 3: with that.
21:46
Speaker 2: Well, this is typical.
21:48
Speaker 4: We have discussed this before, right, This is so typical
21:51
Speaker 4: of the press in twenty twenty six. Right, they latch
21:54
Speaker 4: onto something so negative and then they just start, for me,
21:59
Speaker 4: you know, rambling on they yes, they do, and then
22:03
Speaker 4: they come out with all different kinds of theories and
22:06
Speaker 4: conspiracy theories.
22:07
Speaker 2: And meanwhile I have listen. Do you hear it and
22:10
Speaker 2: you get a concern? Of course you do.
22:12
Speaker 4: But I've been following some of these infectious disease doctors
22:15
Speaker 4: that have said, this is not going to be a pandemic.
22:18
Speaker 4: This is isolated. The hanta virus is rare, It is
22:22
Speaker 4: not rampant. This is how you get it, this is
22:25
Speaker 4: how it happens. These people were in strange places, like
22:29
Speaker 4: enough enough, go on, and what are you gonna do?
22:33
Speaker 4: keV Are you gonna walk out of your house every
22:35
Speaker 4: day and be worried that you're gonna die of hantavirus?
22:39
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not that concerned. The concern is like
22:43
Speaker 4: a one on a scale of one to one hundred.
22:46
Speaker 4: Be aware, yeah, be aware, but like be overly concerned
22:51
Speaker 4: that you're not gonna leave your house or travel on
22:53
Speaker 4: a ship or do anything.
22:54
Speaker 2: You can't live like that.
22:56
Speaker 3: Thing else like Washington. Well, the basic commons stuff, and
23:02
Speaker 3: that will cover about ninety five percent of what you
23:04
Speaker 3: need to worry about. Wash your hands before you eat,
23:08
Speaker 3: before you handle food, before you do anything else, wash
23:10
Speaker 3: your hands. Get wash your hands a lot. Don't go
23:13
Speaker 3: into places you know if you're if you're immune, susceptible.
23:16
Speaker 3: Don't go to places that are crowded anyway, Like give
23:19
Speaker 3: yourself lots of fresh air, you know, be in places
23:22
Speaker 3: where you're not you know, cooped up with things. And
23:25
Speaker 3: if that means you don't get to go on a
23:26
Speaker 3: cruise some subpar you know, lame cruise both that goes
23:30
Speaker 3: to the isolated South I Cantic Islands, then just don't
23:34
Speaker 3: do that. Like that's that hard, Like I have no
23:38
Speaker 3: desire to go on those kinds of criss.
23:39
Speaker 2: I would never be on that thing for in my life.
23:43
Speaker 4: No way, you kind of get what you pay for.
23:49
Speaker 2: I don't know, yeah, but.
23:51
Speaker 3: You know that you're probably they were probably like in
23:54
Speaker 3: some sort of markets in Ushaia before going on there.
23:59
Speaker 3: And I'm sorry the whole thing about how viruses start,
24:04
Speaker 3: Like we were told no fauci had nothing to do
24:07
Speaker 3: with it, no gain of function, and what turned out
24:10
Speaker 3: to be true. We probably paid money to the clinic
24:14
Speaker 3: for them to try the thing that made the virus,
24:17
Speaker 3: and everything they told us was a lie, and everything
24:20
Speaker 3: that we thought didn't sound right turned out not to
24:22
Speaker 3: be right. And just common sense, friends, common sense, talk
24:26
Speaker 3: to your doctor, talk to if you if you're immune, challenge.
24:29
Speaker 3: You should be talking to your doctor anyway. And sometimes, like,
24:32
Speaker 3: there's still people around me that make fun of people
24:34
Speaker 3: that wear masks. I don't do that personally because I'm like,
24:37
Speaker 3: you know what, if wearing a mask helps that person
24:40
Speaker 3: feel like they're more in control of their own health,
24:43
Speaker 3: or maybe they do have a breathing issue, or maybe
24:45
Speaker 3: there is.
24:45
Speaker 2: An immunity, Yeah, exactly.
24:48
Speaker 3: Let them wear it, but you're not making me wear
24:50
Speaker 3: one again, so good luck with it, no way.
24:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, we'll go from there. I agree.
24:56
Speaker 3: We're already to.
25:00
Speaker 2: We are in too deep, keV.
25:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, too deep, in deep. Yeah, we got to take
25:04
Speaker 3: a break and we're coming right back.
25:11
Speaker 1: Back to Kevin McCulla and Radio night Life from New York.
25:17
Speaker 2: Why don't we get a week all right.
25:19
Speaker 3: Kevin mckella. Linda Perillo, Yes, the superstar. Your payment method
25:24
Speaker 3: has been declined, the author of that phenomenal, funny, touching, heartwarming,
25:30
Speaker 3: very honest, very revealing read from Linda Perillo. It's worth
25:35
Speaker 3: it's worth checking out. And do you have a book
25:38
Speaker 3: signing this week?
25:39
Speaker 2: No? Thank god, No I don't.
25:42
Speaker 3: In the last two weeks, of course, I tell me
25:44
Speaker 3: about him in time for us to promote him for you.
25:46
Speaker 3: And now I'm asking if we can promote I don't.
25:48
Speaker 4: Even think to tell you. I don't right now, I
25:50
Speaker 4: don't even think to tell you.
25:52
Speaker 3: If people want to sorry you externally, is it Lindaperillo
25:56
Speaker 3: dot com.
25:58
Speaker 4: No, actually, we're going to change that. I think right
26:00
Speaker 4: now it's the other woman dot shop. But I think
26:03
Speaker 4: if you google because that it had a.
26:05
Speaker 2: Whole different concept when I revamped the website.
26:08
Speaker 3: However, connotation in that name looking.
26:11
Speaker 2: Up Linda Perillo, doc.
26:15
Speaker 4: Lindaperillo dot com belongs to a very beautifully talented opera
26:20
Speaker 4: singer by.
26:21
Speaker 2: The name of Linda Perillo. And it's not me. I'm
26:24
Speaker 2: telling you me.
26:27
Speaker 4: And then I think there's a Linda Perillo realtor out
26:30
Speaker 4: there to him, like, please change your name so I
26:33
Speaker 4: can have my website back.
26:35
Speaker 2: I can't.
26:36
Speaker 3: We would think what did Caesar say to or what
26:39
Speaker 3: did what did Alexander the Great say to that kid
26:42
Speaker 3: that was a terrible fighter? Change your name or change
26:46
Speaker 3: your change wave fighter, change your name because he was
26:49
Speaker 3: named Alexander too.
26:50
Speaker 2: Anyway, Oh god, well are you all right?
26:53
Speaker 3: So? Uh, this last week and I saw, I saw
26:56
Speaker 3: the first day that they went into operation. There new
27:00
Speaker 3: stories running all over the place flying air taxis in
27:04
Speaker 3: New York seven minute flights like out to the airports
27:08
Speaker 3: or in from the airports. But these things are basically
27:13
Speaker 3: a one, two, three, four, five five bladed helicopter that
27:21
Speaker 3: just hovers and lands and fills up and takes off
27:23
Speaker 3: and goes back across. And I am dying to ask
27:26
Speaker 3: Linda Perillo, Yeah, would you use them?
27:30
Speaker 4: Absolutely not. I will, oh, Kevin, I will be a
27:36
Speaker 4: regular helicopter. I'm afraid of helicopters. I'm afraid of helicopters,
27:41
Speaker 4: and I'm afraid of small planes. And I would never
27:46
Speaker 4: do it because I think the next thing you're going
27:48
Speaker 4: to hear is, oh, the next phase is the crash
27:51
Speaker 4: of the of the air taxi that killed sixteen people
27:56
Speaker 4: on the ground and the pilot and the I mean,
27:58
Speaker 4: are these things going to be like the cars with
28:01
Speaker 4: no people in them? I drove, I was in one
28:03
Speaker 4: of those in San Francisco.
28:05
Speaker 2: Weird.
28:06
Speaker 4: It's like a ghost. It's like the ghost is driving
28:09
Speaker 4: the car.
28:10
Speaker 2: This is going to be strange. But my concern was
28:14
Speaker 2: where do you land?
28:15
Speaker 4: You say, well, I need to be at you know,
28:17
Speaker 4: forty second and Lex and then they just trot be
28:20
Speaker 4: on the core.
28:21
Speaker 3: Oh, I think there are To answer that question, I
28:23
Speaker 3: think there are predetermined yes, landing pads throughout many yes,
28:27
Speaker 3: that they can do reach. Some of them may be
28:29
Speaker 3: like on top of buildings, some of them are on
28:31
Speaker 3: the ground. I think there's a combination of where they
28:33
Speaker 3: may be. But to your point, here's the thing. You've
28:39
Speaker 3: had helicopter tours of the city forever. And you know
28:44
Speaker 3: on the West side there's a whole stretch of landing
28:47
Speaker 3: pads there and they take off and land and they
28:49
Speaker 3: probably do dozens each Each one of those helicopters probably
28:53
Speaker 3: does dozens of flights per day. You know, up for
28:56
Speaker 3: a few minutes. They take a family around the city.
28:58
Speaker 3: Hey there's there's Trade Hey there's Empire State Building. You know, hey,
29:03
Speaker 3: look there's Yankee Stadium. And they go to the fly
29:05
Speaker 3: Oh there's the Brooklyn Bridge. And then they fly her
29:07
Speaker 3: back around and land. Say there's your tour of there's
29:09
Speaker 3: your there's your aerial tour of New York. Those tours
29:12
Speaker 3: have been going on for decades. And how many crashes
29:17
Speaker 3: have they had over the years. I can think of
29:19
Speaker 3: one in the last ten to fifteen to twenty years
29:23
Speaker 3: that we've been here that I that I remember, and
29:25
Speaker 3: it was that family for about a year and a
29:26
Speaker 3: half come but it was it was a questionable weather situation,
29:32
Speaker 3: and you know, they was not it was not wise.
29:36
Speaker 3: I think we've had one plane crash around New York
29:40
Speaker 3: City in the length length of time that I've been here,
29:43
Speaker 3: not counting like things like nine to eleven, which was
29:45
Speaker 3: done intentionally, but and that was the plane that landed
29:49
Speaker 3: on the Hudson River and Sully Sullivan got out and
29:53
Speaker 3: got everybody on the wings and they got everybody safely home,
29:56
Speaker 3: and that was a yeah. So I'm like, you know,
30:00
Speaker 3: for all the years that there's been air traffic around
30:04
Speaker 3: New York, there really hasn't been. I mean there's been.
30:06
Speaker 3: You take that set those same amount of numbers of years,
30:09
Speaker 3: and you've had millions of car crashes literally like if
30:12
Speaker 3: you know, they run into something small or if it's
30:14
Speaker 3: a major accident, you've had millions of those. So that
30:18
Speaker 3: seems like a pretty safe ratio. And I'm going to
30:20
Speaker 3: guess that these that these pilots are going to have,
30:24
Speaker 3: they're going to have credentials up to wazoo and back
30:26
Speaker 3: in order to be able to do this because no
30:28
Speaker 3: insurance company is going to ensure a company that would
30:31
Speaker 3: be doing this, and they wouldn't be able to operate.
30:33
Speaker 3: Cityven New York wouldn't let him operate without some sort
30:35
Speaker 3: of insurance behind them. So I'm thinking these are probably
30:39
Speaker 3: going to be pretty diligent pilots with pretty good records,
30:43
Speaker 3: and they're going to get people too and from in
30:45
Speaker 3: very safe standards, back and forth. I don't think I
30:48
Speaker 3: would be that nervous about it.
30:50
Speaker 4: You could say that, Kevin, all you want, and you're
30:52
Speaker 4: still never going to convince me that it's.
30:54
Speaker 2: Okay to say.
30:55
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I have to take you. But you
30:57
Speaker 3: said you wouldn't go. I think I would, so you know,
31:00
Speaker 3: we all be there.
31:01
Speaker 4: I'll come with you for a site visit and you
31:03
Speaker 4: could get on the taxi and then.
31:05
Speaker 3: You can film me taken them.
31:06
Speaker 2: I'll be waiting for you.
31:07
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll be Kevin. I loved you so much I did.
31:12
Speaker 4: I don't know what I'll do without you, but enjoy
31:14
Speaker 4: the flight.
31:14
Speaker 3: Now you'll get on an airplane and fly over an
31:16
Speaker 3: ocean for nine hours.
31:18
Speaker 2: You know you sound like my son, my little guy goes.
31:21
Speaker 2: Would you flying over an ocean. That doesn't scare you.
31:24
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, it doesn't, And why is that? Maybe
31:27
Speaker 2: the plane is bigger.
31:28
Speaker 4: I have major claustrophobia, and I have some really funny
31:33
Speaker 4: stories and that, but they were bad at the moment
31:37
Speaker 4: that they happened.
31:38
Speaker 3: But can I tell you you have the extended wings
31:42
Speaker 3: on each side, So yeah, what does that do well?
31:47
Speaker 3: So if they lose this is this little avionics for you.
31:51
Speaker 3: If they if they lose power to the engines, having
31:54
Speaker 3: a wingspan allows them unlike a normal helicopter that has
31:58
Speaker 3: nothing and it just comes straight down. It allows them
32:01
Speaker 3: to go into a glide mode. So if they needed
32:03
Speaker 3: to land, you know, a softer landing without all or
32:06
Speaker 3: some of their propellers, that it would it would enable
32:09
Speaker 3: them to get back to ground at a softer rate
32:12
Speaker 3: of flow than it would if they were just a
32:15
Speaker 3: normal helicopter with with you know, nothing but the propellers.
32:18
Speaker 3: When you come up and down, if you have some wingspan,
32:21
Speaker 3: you can you can do a little bit of gliding,
32:23
Speaker 3: which is going to be more helpful in the long run. Anyway,
32:26
Speaker 3: I'm not here to convince you. I just think it's
32:28
Speaker 3: a cool imber. The first American city to have them.
32:31
Speaker 4: So and it's going to happen because this is the
32:34
Speaker 4: way we're headache technology is why.
32:38
Speaker 3: With the Skies.
32:40
Speaker 4: Oh and that's another thing. I guess they're going to
32:42
Speaker 4: have to have an app or something, right like Uber.
32:44
Speaker 3: They already do. Yeah, yeah, right. She's I'm Kevin. When
32:48
Speaker 3: we come back, she's got Perilla's pointers for you and
32:51
Speaker 3: discounted airfare for the season. Don't go away.
33:03
Speaker 2: Once again from New York. Here's Radio Night Life and
33:07
Speaker 2: Kevin mccullaugh.
33:10
Speaker 3: Welcome back, final few minutes of Radio Night Live. She's
33:13
Speaker 3: Linda Parillo. I'm Kevin McCullough and it is Traveled Tuesday,
33:17
Speaker 3: and Linda, tis the season to get the discounts. Where
33:20
Speaker 3: are we looking this week?
33:22
Speaker 4: Well, interestingly enough, we are looking at Southwest Airlines. Why
33:28
Speaker 4: because they are partnering, interestingly enough with Disney.
33:32
Speaker 2: So although we are not.
33:34
Speaker 4: Used to Southwest out here, because we don't live in
33:37
Speaker 4: the Southwest, Southwest originates in the Southwest. They're fairs even
33:43
Speaker 4: from out there going to Orlando are incredibly cheap. Okay,
33:49
Speaker 4: so they an average deal on the booking site was
33:52
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty seven dollars round real trick.
33:56
Speaker 2: Yep.
33:57
Speaker 4: They have been found as low as thirty eight round trip,
34:01
Speaker 4: and Southwest has had aggressive fair sales.
34:04
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing with Southwest.
34:07
Speaker 4: They are taking advantage of what I hate to say it,
34:10
Speaker 4: it sounds so much.
34:13
Speaker 2: They're cannibals.
34:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, yes, these airlines, these carriers are cannibals.
34:19
Speaker 2: They'll just say, Okay, we'll eat you up and spit
34:22
Speaker 2: you out. We're done with you, but we're going to
34:24
Speaker 2: take your family with us. And that's pretty much what
34:27
Speaker 2: they're doing.
34:29
Speaker 4: So despite the rising fuel costs, right and the ongoing
34:33
Speaker 4: war in Iran because everyone blames that, Okay, okay, okay,
34:36
Speaker 4: you know guess taxes are coming down, right. So again
34:41
Speaker 4: it's the dissolution of Florida based spirit that is really
34:47
Speaker 4: kind of the catalyst for this so PS.
34:50
Speaker 2: Long story short.
34:51
Speaker 4: They talked about Europe too, because the flights, the flights
34:54
Speaker 4: are cheaper, but I'd want to focus on Southwest because
34:58
Speaker 4: they're really trying to get into the market with these
35:00
Speaker 4: cheaper flights, and they're going to do it at a
35:03
Speaker 4: time when Florida is really hot, so people don't go
35:08
Speaker 4: as they would in the winter, Okay, And they don't
35:11
Speaker 4: go like they would in the fall Columbus days. Another
35:14
Speaker 4: very hot here because the temperature is hot. But a
35:18
Speaker 4: lot of people will take advantage of this over the
35:20
Speaker 4: summer with their kids and go to Disney and go
35:23
Speaker 4: to the Seame parks.
35:24
Speaker 3: Well, and if you know you need them, just book
35:25
Speaker 3: them now for the dates that you're trying to get
35:28
Speaker 3: and you could do a lot of good. Yeah, very interesting. Well,
35:33
Speaker 3: we have not talked about Italy twenty twenty six yet tonight,
35:38
Speaker 3: but friends, just a reminder if you are wanting to
35:41
Speaker 3: go on this trip with us, these seats are dwindling
35:44
Speaker 3: by the day, and last week there were sixteen seats left.
35:49
Speaker 3: I have not gotten an update this week, but I
35:51
Speaker 3: think we probably have fewer than that left. So we
35:53
Speaker 3: need you if you have not yet decided, you need
35:57
Speaker 3: to at least hold your seat, and you can do
35:59
Speaker 3: that by going to Italy twenty twenty six dot info
36:02
Speaker 3: Italy twenty twenty six dot info. And when you do,
36:06
Speaker 3: hold your seat there because we when we're sold out,
36:09
Speaker 3: we're sold out and that's it and we're not going
36:12
Speaker 3: to add another bus. We're not going to do any
36:13
Speaker 3: of that stuff. We want this to be an intimate,
36:16
Speaker 3: very very lovely time of a trip that I took,
36:19

36:40
Speaker 3: come and go to Italy with Linda and I, especially Linda,
