Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your Morning show with Michael dil choono.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Is Roy here yet? Rory is here? Oh? Well, yeah,
helps when you tell me those kinds of thanks.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Money's a little tight, you know, since my ev lease.
But if I'm planning to go to Europe this summer,
anything I.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Need to know, Rory.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
Well, you know, they are implementing new travel restrictions and
registration policies in many of these European countries. But we
just got word that they're going to be delaying the
start of some of those programs. But yes, soon enough,
the EU and the UK are going to require that
we essentially let them know whe're coming more than just
buy the ticket. And by the way, the reverse has

(00:40):
been true for a long time that visitors from the
EU and the UK have to alert America that they're
on the way. So travelers are not going to need
a visa per se depending on the country. But this
ETIAS system was going to take effect this summer, but
it looks like they're kicking it down the road a
bit until the fall of next year. But what you

(01:02):
are going to need, by the way, if you want
to get to the airport is make sure you get
that real ID updated. Apparently that rule is finally going
to take effect in May that you have to have
the the better driver's license, by the way, and the
better driver because as many people right now saying, what
is that as to do?

Speaker 3 (01:21):
I have that if you get out your life, at
least in Tennessee anyway, it's it's the gold circle with
the white star. Isn't that the symbol that pretty much
lets you know that you've had it? Correct? Yeah, so
you're looking for the star on there. Yeah, you don't
have a star on your license. You don't have a
real ID, and that's going to be a real problem
to travel anywhere, right.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Correct, and not just obviously you can need a passport
to go internationally, but for a domestic flight, you're going
to have to start showing that real ID.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
That's going to be a requirement.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
So make sure that you get your driver's license updated accordingly.
And as you said, the rules vary by state when
it comes to getting those approvals, so it's it can
be a bit of a head scratcher, but yeah, do
what you can to make sure you get that.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
I'm always always looking for a reason to not stomach me.
And you were probably thinking this guy's rattling on. I'm
sitting here rotting on. Hold, I did not know you
run the line so our time that I was stalling
because I didn't know you were there real quickly.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
You wasn't listen to Ry. He wasn't listening. The word
in the word can I should?

Speaker 3 (02:22):
I tell them every now and then, Rory doesn't ever
ruin the world for anybody somewhere in all the things
he's saying, it's the wordle.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
But yeah, that's what the guy in Boston.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah, but what's what's the When do you think splash
down will be with with the Butcher Sonny real quick?

Speaker 4 (02:39):
If the weather is good, right, if the weather is
good for tomorrow, it'll be off the Florida coast. It's
really going to depend on sea surface because this is
a splashdown should happen just before six pm Eastern time tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
Can you imagine how talking is tonight at one am?
Can you imagine how happy they're going to be to
be home. It's been a long time, roy On. You'll
be back in the third hour for you as well.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Miss a little, miss a lot, miss a lot, and
we'll miss you. It's your morning show with Michael del Churno,
