Speaker 2: where you listen to your podcast. We also have Les Johnson,
1:40
Speaker 2: who is a recent retiree from NASA chief technologist, formerly
1:45
Speaker 2: up at the Marshall Space Flight Center, and we Doug,
1:50
Speaker 2: Sean Cruisin and I interview him on today's episode of
1:54
Speaker 2: Mata Stars. It's this week's episode, but we dropped it
1:58
Speaker 2: a couple days early because it's the week of dragon
2:01
Speaker 2: Con and he's going to be there. We talk a
2:03
Speaker 2: little bit about him coming to dragon Con and the
2:05
Speaker 2: connections between science and science fiction, and we recorded that
2:08
Speaker 2: with him a couple of weeks ago, right before he
2:10
Speaker 2: actually tendered his resignation. So in the interview we're talking
2:16
Speaker 2: to him as a current employee, but he is actually
2:19
Speaker 2: now officially I guess a past employee, or at least
2:21
Speaker 2: riding out short time. I don't know when the tenure stops,
2:24
Speaker 2: but he is full on a author now. That's his
2:29
Speaker 2: full job. That's what he'll be doing, writing fiction and nonfiction.
2:33
Speaker 2: And our coverage of Dragon Con twenty twenty five and
2:37
Speaker 2: most past dragon cons powered by Columbus State University's Coca
2:41
Speaker 2: Cola Space Science Center, and we appreciate them for that
2:45
Speaker 2: as always. All right, so we got a little bit
2:50
Speaker 2: of a oopsie from the folks at Cracker Barrel. They
2:56
Speaker 2: have come back and given a little bit of a
2:59
Speaker 2: you know, but we may be misjudge things. They're not really,
3:02
Speaker 2: I think, going to make any changes back to anything.
3:05
Speaker 2: I don't know if they're planning to make any sort
3:08
Speaker 2: of adjustments. And they say that they are going to
3:15
Speaker 2: continue to include Uncle Herschel, the gentleman sitting next to
3:19
Speaker 2: the cracker barrel and the barrel itself as part of
3:22
Speaker 2: billboards and on their menus and things, although they have
3:26
Speaker 2: billboards up that have just come up that don't have
3:28
Speaker 2: Uncle Herschel, and they do have seen pictures of menus
3:33
Speaker 2: and restaurants that don't have him on the menu anymore.
3:36
Speaker 2: They claim, though they want to continue to represent those
3:40
Speaker 2: values that they have upheld since nineteen sixty nine. I
3:47
Speaker 2: did see where someone was making posts about the restaurant
3:50
Speaker 2: po folks remember them. There's about five locations left, apparently,
3:53
Speaker 2: all in Florida, and I saw where some people were saying,
3:57
Speaker 2: maybe it's time for po folks to make a comeback.
4:00
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know, maybe it's time. I told you
4:04
Speaker 2: yesterday my reasons that I haven't been a frequent customer
4:07
Speaker 2: of Cracker Barrel and had nothing to do with Uncle
4:11
Speaker 2: Herschel or you know, white walls and whatever else that changes.
4:17
Speaker 2: I gave you my thoughts on it yesterday. I'm just
4:19
Speaker 2: passing along that an issue. A statement was issued by
4:23
Speaker 2: I guess the PR Department just basically saying, hey, we
4:27
Speaker 2: hear you. This was up to see. EO went on
4:31
Speaker 2: Good Morning America and talked to Michael Strahan and when
4:34
Speaker 2: he asked her that question, what if people don't like it?
4:36
Speaker 2: And she said, Hey, everybody I've talked to loves it.
4:39
Speaker 2: Everybody I've talked to loves it. Everybody. That's a dangerous
4:45
Speaker 2: place we get to sometimes, isn't it when we start
4:48
Speaker 2: saying that people in our circle. It's this echo chamber
4:52
Speaker 2: sometimes that we're in that gets us in a lot
4:56
Speaker 2: of trouble, creates damage, creates problems, And it's been a
5:00
Speaker 2: lot of the reasons why you see people disappearing from
5:04
Speaker 2: social media they just don't really they don't really handle
5:08
Speaker 2: it well. They don't want to hear something that's outside
5:10
Speaker 2: of their echo chamber, or you know, they need people
5:12
Speaker 2: to just tell them what they want to hear. That
5:15
Speaker 2: reinforcement of no, no, no. What I need to hear
5:18
Speaker 2: is what's right. I've said many times on this show.
5:22
Speaker 2: I don't know everything. I don't pretend to know everything.
5:25
Speaker 2: There was a time, I think when I certainly thought
5:28
Speaker 2: I knew a whole lot more than I knew at
5:30
Speaker 2: the time, and now I think I've got a decent
5:33
Speaker 2: grasp on what I know and what I understand. It
5:36
Speaker 2: doesn't mean I don't say some things over you know, time,
5:39
Speaker 2: that are wrong. I am a human being. The difference
5:43
Speaker 2: in me and some of the other shows is that
5:44
Speaker 2: I don't know that any of those people will ever
5:46
Speaker 2: admit it. I don't know how many of them do,
5:49
Speaker 2: but I'll tell you from time to time. You know,
5:52
Speaker 2: at the very least that I don't know everything. I
5:54
Speaker 2: can't become an expert on tariffs after you know, watching
5:59
Speaker 2: four videos on some social media that does not make
6:01
Speaker 2: me or anyone an expert on tariffs. But that's what
6:03
Speaker 2: a lot of people like to do. They cram in
6:07
Speaker 2: a quick crash course and say, well, this is I
6:09
Speaker 2: know everything. I got it. I know it because of
6:13
Speaker 2: my politics, and I know it because this is what
6:15
Speaker 2: I want it to be. And it's not necessarily hey,
6:20
Speaker 2: this is what's accurate. It's just this is what I
6:22
Speaker 2: want it to be. So let's uh on that note,
6:26
Speaker 2: let's transition over to the antics of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
6:33
Speaker 2: There's a battle going on now. As you know, we've
6:37
Speaker 2: had Texas have their vote finally on doing their gerrymandering
6:41
Speaker 2: and their redistricting, something that depending on where you are
6:46
Speaker 2: in this political spectrum, you may say, well, you know,
6:49
Speaker 2: they don't. They only typically do this certain years. This
6:52
Speaker 2: is not one of those years for Texas to do it.
6:55
Speaker 2: I think Texas coming out and saying, look, we've had
6:57
Speaker 2: a lot of things that have been changed based on
7:02
Speaker 2: new population, people coming into the state, people being allowed
7:05
Speaker 2: to come into the state. We need to make some
7:08
Speaker 2: adjustments and changes. It is very hypocritical to me to
7:12
Speaker 2: have so many governors on the left new someome being
7:16
Speaker 2: one of them, and you go around to different blue
7:19
Speaker 2: states and governors that are saying, you know, this is ridiculous,
7:23
Speaker 2: and we're going to change our districts around, and we're
7:25
Speaker 2: going to make all these changes. Because he's making changes.
7:30
Speaker 2: Trump is pushing for these changes to be made through
7:34
Speaker 2: the governor of Texas. So listen this little battle between
7:41
Speaker 2: anybody who thinks they're going to run for president or
7:43
Speaker 2: is planning to run for president in a few years.
7:47
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom certainly being one of those people. And he
7:51
Speaker 2: has been doing everything he can to draw as much
7:53
Speaker 2: attention as possible, and he thinks that he is going
7:59
Speaker 2: to get his way to the head of the class,
8:04
Speaker 2: to the front of the line. He thinks this is
8:06
Speaker 2: going to be his way to make this splash. It's
8:09
Speaker 2: still very early to do that. Does that mean that
8:11
Speaker 2: he can't be the candidate. Certainly he could be the candidate,
8:14
Speaker 2: but it's early to be trying to make this kind
8:17
Speaker 2: of push. And Newsom has tried a number of things.
8:23
Speaker 2: One of the things that he tried to do was
8:26
Speaker 2: he said, well, what I'm going to start doing now
8:29
Speaker 2: is I want to listen to the people. I want
8:31
Speaker 2: to hear what the people say. I want to hear
8:34
Speaker 2: what the people want, and I'm going to start a
8:36
Speaker 2: podcast and I'm going to interview people so that I
8:39
Speaker 2: can have all these people on that I disagree with,
8:42
Speaker 2: and I want to hear what they have to say
8:44
Speaker 2: so that I can educate myself on what people want
8:47
Speaker 2: or what people think needs to happen. And that was
8:52
Speaker 2: one of the things that he claimed he was going
8:54
Speaker 2: to do. That's one of the things that he said
8:56
Speaker 2: was going to be his strategy. Okay, And it came
9:01
Speaker 2: to a point, well, while doing these interviews, he would
9:05
Speaker 2: make claims about things that he said, Oh, I never
9:09
Speaker 2: said the following things in the past. I never made
9:14
Speaker 2: this accusation. I never said this thing that's now clearly
9:17
Speaker 2: been proven wrong. And it allowed people to then say, okay,
9:21
Speaker 2: now you're saying it on a podcast, we can download
9:24
Speaker 2: it and we can play It's really easy for us
9:26
Speaker 2: to play it back for you and let you hear
9:28
Speaker 2: the old clips and then on your podcast. And how
9:31
Speaker 2: different these are and he claimed, you know, in a
9:34
Speaker 2: lot of things that he wasn't doing different views, different
9:37
Speaker 2: viewpoints that he said I never said that, And of
9:39
Speaker 2: course pretty easy when you can go back to the
9:42
Speaker 2: tape and compare it and say, yeah, you did, this
9:44
Speaker 2: is what you said. So that was one strategy he
9:47
Speaker 2: had that blew up in his face. And then of
9:49
Speaker 2: course the fires in Los Angeles, the way that the
9:53
Speaker 2: water supply was handled, it was poorly handled. And I'm sorry.
9:58
Speaker 2: It scares me to think that someone that incapable of
10:03
Speaker 2: protecting people in their state. And it is a large state,
10:07
Speaker 2: it's a it's a great state. California is a great state.
10:13
Speaker 2: Poorly managed, poorly run, not efficient, and they struggle with budgets,
10:17
Speaker 2: they struggle with making the financial decisions that need to
10:22
Speaker 2: be made, and they tax the people there to death.
10:24
Speaker 2: And a lot of people have left California. There's still
10:27
Speaker 2: people there. But when we find out that, you know,
10:31
Speaker 2: Georgia has become at least an in play purple state
10:36
Speaker 2: because of how many people came to Georgia from California
10:41
Speaker 2: to make movies, make TV shows. It's you don't want
10:45
Speaker 2: to stay there and pay the taxes. You want the breaks,
10:48
Speaker 2: you want, the discounts, you want all the things that
10:50
Speaker 2: come with moving to another state like Georgia. Tennessee is
10:55
Speaker 2: another state that has been very welcoming to people. Florida
10:58
Speaker 2: is another state. You got a lot of states that
10:59
Speaker 2: are really welcoming people in To say look, you don't
11:02
Speaker 2: have to pay insane taxes to do business there. New
11:09
Speaker 2: York is in a lot of danger because they are
11:11
Speaker 2: threatening now to elect a mayor who says he wants
11:16
Speaker 2: to be a democratic socialist, which go back to the
11:19
Speaker 2: sixties when a number of people said, we won't be
11:24
Speaker 2: called communists in the future, We'll be called democratic socialists.
11:28
Speaker 2: Martin Luther King Junior or one of the people who
11:29
Speaker 2: said that, we often cherry picked, don't we the things
11:34
Speaker 2: that we want to say that Some people like he
11:36
Speaker 2: said that, but we want to pretend he didn't say it,
11:37
Speaker 2: but anyway, So he didn't just say it. It's in
11:41
Speaker 2: his book, but anyway. So we can look to that
11:46
Speaker 2: and say, well, this is a state not this hasn't
11:48
Speaker 2: been run well. And then you look to you know,
11:50
Speaker 2: you start hearing the accusations of well, he's got donors
11:54
Speaker 2: that are almond farmers and they need the water, so
11:56
Speaker 2: the water wasn't allowed to be where it needed to
11:59
Speaker 2: be to protect and to save the people of Los Angeles.
12:05
Speaker 2: Poorly run, poorly managed, just a bad situation, another case
12:09
Speaker 2: of he failed, So what does he do? He has
12:14
Speaker 2: in the last week said I'm going to start making
12:16
Speaker 2: these videos where I make fun of Donald Trump, and
12:18
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about things and try to save
12:22
Speaker 2: them in the way that Trump says them. Now, there's
12:25
Speaker 2: a couple of things that he did this in relation
12:29
Speaker 2: to the idea of doing the map redoing the maps
12:33
Speaker 2: in California, And honestly, from a humor standpoint, it's fine
12:40
Speaker 2: if you think it's funny, it's it's he was making
12:44
Speaker 2: an attempt at mocking President Trump and taking shots at him,
12:48
Speaker 2: and he did you know, there was a tweet from
12:51
Speaker 2: the governor's governor knew some press office all caps the
12:56
Speaker 2: way Trump would sometimes write. Wow, my maps, the best
12:58
Speaker 2: maps ever made will soon and the greatest legislature anywhere
13:01
Speaker 2: in the world, not just America. America can thank me.
13:05
Speaker 2: Gavin C. Newsom and two very special people, Magic Mike
13:09
Speaker 2: and Rainmaker Robert. And it goes on. And that was
13:14
Speaker 2: his attempt at mocking Trump. And there's a couple of
13:17
Speaker 2: different reactions to this. Bill Maher says he thinks it's great,
13:20
Speaker 2: it's funny, and that he's a funny guy and it's
13:22
Speaker 2: funny the way he did it. Donal Brazil, though former
13:25
Speaker 2: head of the DNC, says no this is not what
13:30
Speaker 2: needs to happen. This is not the strategy. And she says, basically,
13:35
Speaker 2: these are serious times, and she said everybody likes a
13:41
Speaker 2: good laugh, and now he's about to I guess, issue
13:44
Speaker 2: his own cup and golden tennis shoes and who knows
13:48
Speaker 2: what else. These are serious times that require serious people
13:51
Speaker 2: to be at the table. And this is her take
13:55
Speaker 2: on this, and I understand people have different views. She
13:58
Speaker 2: also says the Democratic Party is out or are so many
14:00
Speaker 2: functions to third party organizations that didn't produce the registration numbers.
14:05
Speaker 2: This is a wake up call as Democrats gather starting
14:07
Speaker 2: tomorrow Minnesota, where we are going to have to figure
14:11
Speaker 2: out what is the road forward. We have to do
14:13
Speaker 2: basic things, but we also have to be prepared to
14:16
Speaker 2: do what Gavin Newsom is urging Democrats of all different
14:19
Speaker 2: persuasions fight back, punch harder. If we're going to regain
14:22
Speaker 2: Congress and get ready for the White House, Democrats are
14:25
Speaker 2: going to have to come up with a different playbook. Okay,
14:28
Speaker 2: so this is this is the way that she's laid
14:33
Speaker 2: things out, But she says that it's not serious to
14:36
Speaker 2: mock Donald Trump. I guess the question that I have
14:40
Speaker 2: though is and I think this is the layering of
14:44
Speaker 2: either a brilliant move that he's doing, or it is
14:47
Speaker 2: the pathetic decision or the pathetic move that he's made
14:54
Speaker 2: by doing this is that they have mocked Donald Trump
15:01
Speaker 2: for a very very long time. They've mocked him, They've
15:06
Speaker 2: made fun of him, they've you know, called him a jackass.
15:09
Speaker 2: All the things that have come with having Donald Trump
15:14
Speaker 2: on the scene, Okay, all of it, every bit of it.
15:19
Speaker 2: And now you have Gavin Newsom that's trying to kind
15:24
Speaker 2: of emulate it. He thinks that the Trump strategy is there,
15:27
Speaker 2: and he thinks the humor part of it, because that's
15:29
Speaker 2: part of the strategy. When I say it may very
15:32
Speaker 2: well be in some way or degree a brilliant move.
15:38
Speaker 2: That may be part of the brilliance behind it is
15:42
Speaker 2: that he is trying to do this Trump move and
15:44
Speaker 2: he's trying to approach things the way that Trump has
15:47
Speaker 2: approached things. But I don't think he is Trump. I mean,
15:51
Speaker 2: I know he's not Trump. I don't think he's capable
15:54
Speaker 2: of stepping into this and taking this this strategy and
15:59
Speaker 2: this approach coach any length by pretending to be Trump.
16:04
Speaker 2: And I think if you've got people on the left
16:06
Speaker 2: that have mocked him and said all these things about
16:08
Speaker 2: Trump that they don't like him, and they don't want
16:10
Speaker 2: anything to do with him, and they think he's the
16:12
Speaker 2: devil and that he's Hitler and all that. And then
16:14
Speaker 2: now you've got someone who wants to be the president,
16:18
Speaker 2: who wants to be the candidate, that has come along
16:22
Speaker 2: and basically said, I'm going to try to do it
16:25
Speaker 2: the Trump way. I want to try to do the
16:27
Speaker 2: very thing that everybody says that they hate. And I
16:31
Speaker 2: don't know that that's going to get him anywhere. I
16:33
Speaker 2: don't know that that's going to fix anything. I don't
16:35
Speaker 2: know that we're going to get to a place with
16:37
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom that this is something that is going to
16:42
Speaker 2: get him where he wants to be. I just don't
16:45
Speaker 2: see that being an effective strategy. Could it be? I
16:49
Speaker 2: don't know. And like I said at the beginning, I
16:51
Speaker 2: don't know everything. I certainly don't know everything. I certainly
16:55
Speaker 2: can't sit back with you and tell you that I
16:57
Speaker 2: know how this is going to play out. I didn't
16:58
Speaker 2: see Trump winning the presidency. I didn't see Trump getting
17:02
Speaker 2: there that way. That wasn't something that I saw playing
17:06
Speaker 2: out and then it did. I've been wrong. I've definitely
17:10
Speaker 2: been wrong. But this doesn't seem to be the strategy
17:14
Speaker 2: that Democrats are looking for, and I don't know that
17:16
Speaker 2: it's the strategy that's going to be effective for Gavin Newsom.
17:19

Speaker 2: maybe cosmetic changes you'd like to make to your garage door.
19:41

19:44
Speaker 2: to be and you need some repair work done to
19:46
Speaker 2: the outside door. Maybe you need a brand new garage
19:49
Speaker 2: door completely. Maybe it's making a noise when your garage
19:53
Speaker 2: door opens and closes. Maybe it's some sort of installation
19:56
Speaker 2: issue that you've got with colder or warmer weather, sometimes
20:00
Speaker 2: that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient. Maybe you're looking
20:03
Speaker 2: at a situation where you'd like to add a screen
20:06
Speaker 2: door to your garage door system that you can put
20:09
Speaker 2: down and you can use your garage space as a
20:12
Speaker 2: sort of outdoor but indoor, you know, if you like
20:15
Speaker 2: to work on your own cars in there, or maybe
20:17
Speaker 2: you just want a little man cavid you'd like to
20:19
Speaker 2: be able to open the door up and not invite
20:21
Speaker 2: all the insects in. They can do that for you
20:24
Speaker 2: as well, and again they do after hours calls. There's
20:27
Speaker 2: nothing worse than that thought of having your car trapped
20:29
Speaker 2: inside your garage and your garage door won't open and
20:33
Speaker 2: you need somebody to come help, And they do those
20:36
Speaker 2: as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred
20:39
Speaker 2: seven oh six three five eight forty five hundred O
20:42
Speaker 2: dccolumbus dot com more West Carol Morning Show. Right after
20:46
Speaker 2: the break, Well, if you wondered what was next in
20:58
Speaker 2: the world of Ozempa, we go V Brace yourself. I
21:05
Speaker 2: didn't see this one coming, to be honest, if your
21:07
Speaker 2: pet is putting on weight, you're not alone. About sixty
21:12
Speaker 2: percent of pets in the US or overweight, and that's
21:14
Speaker 2: a problem since extra weight can lead to serious health
21:17
Speaker 2: issues and shorter lifespans. In response, biotech companies like Okava
21:22
Speaker 2: and Vivani Medical are working on a new solution, a
21:27
Speaker 2: tiny implant called okav one nineteen that could help pets
21:32
Speaker 2: slim down. It's sponsored by popular human weight loss drugs
21:35
Speaker 2: like Ozepic and we go Vy and specifically designed for animals.
21:40
Speaker 2: So instead of daily or weekly injections, this implant slowly
21:44
Speaker 2: releases a medication called ex nanotide over six months to
21:51
Speaker 2: exenotide maybe to help reduce appetite and boost metabolism. Early
21:57
Speaker 2: tests and cats showed promising results. Dog trial are underway.
22:00
Speaker 2: If all goes well, this pet friendly weight loss tool
22:04
Speaker 2: could be in the market by twenty twenty eight or
22:07
Speaker 2: twenty twenty nine. Yeah, I didn't see that one coming,
22:13
Speaker 2: I'll be honest. I saw a lot of the other
22:15
Speaker 2: things coming. Like I guess, there's been some now noted
22:18
Speaker 2: side effects that have come along from some of those drugs,
22:21
Speaker 2: and now here we go. Now it moves on, I
22:24
Speaker 2: guess to pets. Even if you're good about cleaning out
22:28
Speaker 2: your refrigerator, there are probably some condiments that have been
22:31
Speaker 2: in there for a while, whether it's jar of capers
22:33
Speaker 2: that expired five years ago, bottle of fish sauce used
22:36
Speaker 2: once in a recipe and forgot about. Definitely some things
22:39
Speaker 2: that could use some inspection. According to voters on ranker
22:43
Speaker 2: dot com, the condiments people have had in their fridge
22:46
Speaker 2: the longest are yellow mustard. Not us. We go through
22:51
Speaker 2: it pretty quickly. We just do salad dressing. I'm sure
22:55
Speaker 2: we've got some of those that are well past their
22:57
Speaker 2: expiration date. Soy sauce, pickle catch up, Nope, that is
23:01
Speaker 2: pickles and ketchup definitely do not last long. Mayo Dijon mustard,
23:09
Speaker 2: barbecue sauce. Definitely not lemon juice. Nope, strawberry jam. We
23:15
Speaker 2: may have a strawberry jam in there. I'm an apple guy.
23:17
Speaker 2: I do a lot of apple jelly, but we may
23:20
Speaker 2: have a strawberry jam in there. According to a new study,
23:24
Speaker 2: your morning cup of coffee might be doing more than
23:26
Speaker 2: just waking you up. It's actually making you happier. Researchers
23:29
Speaker 2: found caffeine consistently boosts mood and energy, especially in the morning.
23:34
Speaker 2: Participants reported feeling more upbeat and less irritable after their
23:38
Speaker 2: first cup of coffee, regardless of their usual caffeine habits. Yes,
23:42
Speaker 2: that first SIPs scientifically proven to be as magical as
23:48
Speaker 2: it may feel, So there you go. While the median
23:51
Speaker 2: annual salary is about sixty two thousand dollars, Americans on
23:54
Speaker 2: average expect their ideal partner to earn much more. New
23:56
Speaker 2: survey found that women want their ideal partner to earn
23:59
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten ten thousand dollars a year, while
24:02
Speaker 2: guys would prefer their partner earning ninety thousand. Quarter. Respondents
24:06
Speaker 2: have even higher hopes, saying that their ideal partner should
24:10
Speaker 2: earn over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and then
24:13
Speaker 2: they are very ambitious about one in twenty who have
24:15
Speaker 2: eyes on five hundred thousand or more for their ideal partner.
24:22
Speaker 2: So solo travels continue to grow in popularity for people
24:29
Speaker 2: who want to do what they want to do, when
24:31
Speaker 2: they want to do it, and right now there are
24:35
Speaker 2: some wrong and right and wrong ways to navigate it,
24:38
Speaker 2: but we're going to focus on the wrong ones. Some
24:40
Speaker 2: of the mistakes they say people make when they travel alone,
24:44
Speaker 2: not packing a reliable power bank. You got to check
24:48
Speaker 2: those two and make sure that you can get those
24:50
Speaker 2: on your plane, because some of the planes you can't
24:53
Speaker 2: throw them in the checked baggage. You got to have
24:56
Speaker 2: them in the carry on. You don't want it to
24:58
Speaker 2: be too strong. There's a limit. You want to check it.
25:01
Speaker 2: Check with your airline. Been there, just went through that,
25:03
Speaker 2: made sure mine was okay. Ignoring your instincts, always trust
25:07
Speaker 2: your gut. Something feels off, get out of that scenario.
25:10
Speaker 2: That's good advice. Over sharing personal information, absolutely, don't tell
25:14
Speaker 2: everybody you're traveling alone. Certainly forgetting to document your adventure journal,
25:18
Speaker 2: take plenty of pictures, Let someone else take a photo
25:21
Speaker 2: of you, or use an Eiffel Sorry, selfie stick. If
25:25
Speaker 2: you're taking a picture with the Eiffel Tower, just take
25:27
Speaker 2: the pictures, is what they say. And avoid structure in
25:31
Speaker 2: advanced research. Just because you're not hurting cats doesn't mean
25:35
Speaker 2: you can leave every meal or excursion a chance. On
25:37
Speaker 2: the other hand, don't fill every minute with an activity.
25:41
Speaker 2: Leave some flexibility for new discoveries. That's all good advice
25:45
Speaker 2: while you travel. All right. That'll do it for this
