Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the City that Changes the World. Peers Rose with
three things you need to know for your Friday, Rose Giafras.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
The National Park Service will reportedly close DuPont Circle Park
ahead of the final weekend of World Pride. I know
it's kind of we've gone back and forth with it,
so reports that fencing will be erected to keep people
out of the area this weekend. The DC Police Department
announced earlier this week that it had withdrawn a request
to close the park after objections from community leaders and residents.
But the decision to fence off the park comes after

(00:30):
several reports of Pride related vandalism and violence in the
New Pont Circle area this week. So just want to
let you know that drivers in Fairfax County are being
warned about new speed cameras that will soon be online.
So cameras will begin monitoring speed on the Fairfax County
Parkway in the area around the Pope's Head Interchange construction zone.
So those cameras will activate on June fifteenth. No fines

(00:51):
will be charged until July fifteenth. Just don't speed and
you don't have to worry about anything.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
That's pretty much what it comes down to.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
And from today there is Sunday.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
There will be some.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Early morning and late night changes to Metro service for
World Pride. So Metro stations will close at two am
tonight and tomorrow, hour later than usual, and then the
trains will open at six am on June seventh and eighth,
so Saturday Sunday, which is one hour later than usual
on those days. And Wamata said Metro Transit police a lot.

(01:21):
There will be increased presents during this World Pride along
with special security officers will be present in many stations
and bus loops, and special police will through many trains,
will be through walking through many trains during service.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Just just just.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Bender best behavior.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
There.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I'msots are the three things June.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Show up to day A gross, You're welcome. We'll be
in the Pride paray. In fact, speaking police during our
meeting about the parade. Sauce ass some on lines of
what's the turn while the hot police officers are no,
I did not ask. I know where it is? Okay,
I pointing that out, So I have you going. The
prey will be there. We cannot throw things in the out,
that's just the kind of makes sense. So we can

(02:04):
we can hand things yeah, so I think Eric's really
get a handy things. He's great. It's kind of like
the vibes. If you're there, make sure say hi. You
can tag us to at WYMUS radio. My day yesterday,
I was very exciting. I got to go on Fox
five in DC, which was a lot of fun, A
little bit nerve wracking because I have seen them on
like TV before, but like don't didn't really know how

(02:25):
they handle things, and so it was a bit of
a meet a new dance partner. Got a Lincoln joke
in there. It was fantastic. It was a lot of fun.
The Lincoln joke was great. Sauce I sent it to you.
It was prettily yeah, because they're talking about we had
mentioned this to the aquarium in Richmond was letting people
do sleepovers, and like, where would you want to do
like a sleepover you could pick, I said, the Lincoln bedroom.

(02:46):
I want to see if it's haunted. If I get
a headache, I'll know for sure. Stop. I just thought
it was weird they had you like in some corner. No,
that's because like this part of the show's like you
say something appropriate you sent away, but if you could
have it is that real? Yeah, Like it's like yeah,
it's like it's like a time out type of you need.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
To go over there rose the video because they've handed
Johnny's like all alone on like a staircase, and I'm like,
what has happened?

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Well, you do well? And so like I was on
my best behavior because it was the first time, and
like anytime again. Yeah, but if I'm a guest on
somebody's like show or podcast the first time, I'm always
very reserved because it's like very respectful of like they've
worked hard and they built the brain whatever. But then
uh like second or third time, like all right, let's
let's go. Yeah, now that I know like what your

(03:34):
humor is now, I can like let it, Louise, I'm
sending you the thing right there. So it's a lot
of fun. But if you could have a slumber party anywhere,
sauce anywhere, I think Lincoln bedroom would be sick because
it's the White House like number one, and like it's
like that's cool. I like it's probably for sure, well,

(03:54):
do you know, Like so uh he back in the day,
anybody can just go in the White House like in
Lincoln's day, like we could today just walk in and
be there. He had a dream like the week before
he was assassinated that he was walking through the White
House and people were really sad, and he said, what happened?
They said, the President was shot? Oh my god? Crazy? Yeah.

(04:14):
What there's also like his there's I mean, where are
we talking about? His secretary's name was Kennedy. Kennedy. Secretary
name was Lincoln or something anyway, but anywhere you want to.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Probably like like I like the idea of the aquarium,
but maybe somewhere like you know, like those Uh there's
a place in Atlanta called Luminarium, and I think that
there's something like this here. It's like, uh, the walls change.
I kind of like the the what's that called the
thing in Vegas the sphere, the sphere, It's kind of
like you know, you can like put yourself anywhere. I think,

(04:47):
like an immersive thing like that would be really cool
to have a slumber party in.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
I've heard somebody say with the sphere too, like like
the sphere is like a giant half of it sub
screen basically right. The only like the first ten minutes
of shows did they have moving things on there, because
otherwise they'll get motion sickness, which like that makes sense,
makes sense, amazing IMAX times like one hundred. Yeah. So
like because I saw videos of Kenny Chesney's concert, it
looks really careful, but like if we did the video

(05:10):
for more than ten minutes, people will get sick. That
makes sense, uh, Rose anywhere you can't sleepover.

Speaker 2 (05:15):
I would like to sleep in Cinderella's Castle on Disney World.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Well, yeah, that'd be cool because that's the room, right,
is that like some people can do it and like
there is a room.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah there. I don't know the exact requirements. I know
that it was either my mom or my dad got
a tour of it because they worked at Disney as well.
So I've seen pictures of it and it looked protude awesome. Yeah,
but I don't know the requirements to be able to
do that.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
But I would love to be pretty sick. Yeah cool,
I'd be like, Yeah, it'd be a nice little lef
flex Love to yours too, nine nine three three eight to.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
