Speaker 1 (00:02):
Because you're waking up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning, Good morning, it's time for the daily debrief.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I like to debrief things, and I brought Sarah aleson.
You recognize her voice, maybe from the radio show that
she's on a kid Chris in the Morning over at WEBN,
but she comes on my show quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
I have a lot of fun when I'm in here,
so but I'm always nervous when I walk in because
most of the time I don't know what to expect,
because you usually have something naughty up your sleeve.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well I send, I do give her usually zero warning.
I just come in and she says, okay. So you
might have already gotten a taste of this on our
social if you're not following at Kiss one oh seven.
If you're a visual person, that's a good place to
start and check this out.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
There's a new way to sing the alphabet.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I had put the men, the cast of seven hundred Wow,
up against this challenge, and the men did not do well.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
So I'm gonna play.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
It first, and then I'll explain that I'm gonna have
Sarah I give.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It a go. All right, So here it is, so
instead we sing it a b c d e, f
g h I j k l m n O, p
q r s, t qu v w x y z.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Now, I never will forget how to say the alpha bet.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
All right, Sarah, let it rip, go ahead right off
jump since you've heard it, and then I'll explain why
it's new.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh my gosh, okay A b.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
C d e f g h I j k l
m n O, p q r s, t u v
w x y z.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I never will forget how to sing the alpha bet.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It almost got you, The element of b almost got you.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So the reason why they have changed it, when I
say they, I think teachers across the America, I don't know,
because as the element op kids have started saying that
as if it's an actual word, and I feel like.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
We all do that, like even though as adults were
singing it element o.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
P element pea, can you do it backwards? Not a change, listen,
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
It was already challenging doing it this way, because yeah,
you naturally just want to run it all together like
you've been doing your entire life, which is now what
they're trying to avoid.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Right, The beats changed on it. Yes, the beat's gone
from and it's well, I guess it's I don't know
here she's.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Doing it here, So instead we sing it A B
C D E f G.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That's the same h I j K l m N
not the same, right, p q r S T quv
w x y Z.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Now I never will forget how to say the alpha
bet Dude.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
That's pretty catchy, though, after you hear it a couple
of times, I feel like it could catch on. But
it's like we've heard it this way for thirty plus years,
you and I as millennials. It's like this is the
way that we've been doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
There's no way I'm committing to the new way. No,
you know what I have committed though memory to uh.
I've committed so many early two thousands, like rap and
hip hop lyrics to my memory that I don't think
there's space for anything else inside this brain, including a
new ABCS.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, what's one song that you could sing for karaoke?
Like we've talked about this with Joe Burrow, like his
go to karaoke song that you know every single word too,
like a rap song.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It would be Heya by Outcasts. Really, that's a good one.
I could do most of waterfalls by tlc Oh.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yeah, even the left eye rap. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm
thinking about like what song I could do?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I know, Katy Shop. Go ahead, Sarah, let it rip.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
You do not want to hear.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That without alcohol, or maybe you do. I don't know
either way. It's super cringey, but I can sing candy Shop.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
You're waking up in the morning time, kis let us
good morning.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You know the one thing I've noticed about track and field,
and it's second week, and no it is not the
pole vaulter, but my god, I'll never forget that one.
It's that the athletes have headphones in their ears more
often than the first week, most likely because you know,
the first week is full of events with water and
the second one is full of events with track and field.
(04:24):
But nonetheless, I've found more athletes pump up songs and
what their go to is. We've talked about this a
little bit in the last week. So here we are
on the second week, kind of revisiting again. You can
tell a lot about someone's personality by what their go
to song is right before they need to do something
very very important. So we'll start off with Women's beach Volleyball.
(04:45):
It's Tern and Christen. They are so close by the
way that they're not only roommates, but they share air pods.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
As they're warming up.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
They go with something from Wicked called Defying Gravity.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
It's time too, and you can't holp me.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
Understand.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'll be Can we take a detour quickly? That Wicked
movie coming out? I've seen the trailer a bunch when
I go to movie Sunday.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
It looks good. Thanksgiving weekend is when that thing comes out,
and I think it's gonna be very very very very good.
All Right, show tunes, show tunes can do it.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The Greatest Showman is one of my favorite soundtracks ever,
so I get that. Moving on to heptap heptathlon racer
an A Hall, she goes.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
With the classic Justin Bieber. Yeah, I can see.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Jasmine Moore is a triple jump and long jumper. She
goes with one of my favorite artists of all time,
and that's Jake Cole's Nouro Models.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
What's time for my Las Sisters?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
What's time for my La La La? What's up for? No?
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Don't she don't want to say, don't save us?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
She don't want to be saved.
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Don't save she don't want to be said, don't save up, she.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Don't want to be saved.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
One of the best, one of the best albums twenty
fourteen four sils Drive.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
All right, moving on to Men's rowing, We're.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Gonna take a hard right in the music scene, Nick
Mead listens to Creede. You're not gonna get me to
(06:56):
make fun of Creed. I guarantee we haven't had a
chance to go back and forth on this. But Creed
was in Sincy over the weekend. Bet the thing was
sold out, packed to the brim. They just said, I
mean they have hits. All right, I've got time for
(07:26):
Let's get into one more. This one, this one really
surprised me. C. J. Nicholas, who's into taekwondo, who's twenty
three years old. His repeat song, the one that you
play until your ears bleed, was siss a snooze.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I KILLO missed the moment?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
How can you snooze and missed the moment? You're gonna
fall asleep and miss the moment? Like I said, you
can really tell a lot about someone with choose before
the biggest moment of their life.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
All Right, we're commercial free for a little bit longer.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
More importantly, music wise, Drake put out three new songs yesterday.
I'll have that in the Three Things you need to
Know coming up at seven.
Speaker 9 (08:12):
Fifty when you need to know She's got you.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
It's Three Things with Tip good morning.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
We're just before eight o'clock, and at eight thirty, I
have your first chance of the day to win Glass
Animals tickets at Riverbend. Drake's going to be the lead
story on this hour Three Things, because about twelve hours
ago and you might have come across some of this
on your feed already. He released three new songs and
a bunch of content, the first being a brand new
Instagram called account called plot Twist. If you want to
(08:46):
look this thing up, it's got about five or six
t's at the end of it. Usually when an artist
drops something new on a new Instagram page, you've got
maybe one or two photos of carousels and maybe a
real This man unloaded the content. You could scroll for
days and see brand new Drake stuff that you've never
seen before. A lot of it is at video camera
footage that he's been carrying around since the Sexy Red
(09:08):
video and says a video dropped, So it's a lot
and some of it's really old, some of it's more current, photos,
reels everything. But on top of that, we have three
brand new songs. The first one, I'm Gonna play you
is called Blue Green Red, and it's definitely, definitely gonna
be the next latest Drake.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Bop hanging gotta lay Down.
Speaker 10 (09:30):
We gotta less songs, just shed since we blow up
and got green. I gotta lead for a gunshop and
I'd had my pot song out of my head.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
I just turned off to day since that.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Very good, right. It's called Blue Green Red.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Another song that came out the second of three, this
is called Housekeeping Nose and it features Lotto.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
I can't get no light hours asleep now it's like
the third time switching. She's house keeping must know that
he's on freeze.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
So final song is called It's Up.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It also features Young Thug and twenty one Savage on it.
Young Thug is still very much in prison. Drake is
calling for his release, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
On the song.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But it's always so crazy to me that someone from
prison can record song lyrics outside.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Of the plot twist, like I said.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Instagram account there's one hundred gigs for your Head Bop,
which or your head Top rather, which is the website
that you can click on in his bio, and that
is where you'll see tons in tons of content. There
was a video up there of him talking about how
the song Hotline Bling came about. I mean, I'll have
some of that in our next hour. But Drake is here,
by the way, of course, he's on the heels of
(10:50):
his Kendrick Lamar disc track back and forth. And you know,
we already know that not Like Us is just one
of the biggest songs of the summer.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Did very well.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Some would say that that Kendrick.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Lamar is the winner out of this.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
If you're going out of straight hits and straight number ones,
then Kendrick Lamar was. Yes, Drake, I don't know if
he necessarily raised the white flag on it. I had
already talked about this at length, but I think he's
kind of just moved on and is creating music again.
And we'll see. It was overwhelming, but it was good,
all right. Second, and three things you need to know
(11:25):
this morning. I'm very, very excited for the new It
Ends with Us movie, and this will probably be the
second and final thing we get into. Blake Lively had
the Red Carpet premiere last night, and the number one
thing that people are talking about is the fact that
her dress is Britney Spears.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Is Britney's actual dress. It's her actual dresses.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
I know, it like should be in the Smithsonian or
the Mets. Me this so lucky.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah, it's a Versace dress that Brittany had worn previously.
And I think there's a fashion house out of la
that probably has all of these dresses, right, and then
you can rent them and loan them, et cetera. There's
got to be a huge insurance policy on them. But
she just looked stunning. Guys, I can't recommend the book
It Ends with Us more like you have to read
it if you're a book lover. It Ends with Us
(12:11):
is written by Colleen Hoover. If you follow book talk,
you know it's just huge. But the movie comes out
this weekend and it's just it's gonna be probably one
of the best of the summer. Here she is in
another clip. I forget what this one's about.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Oh, it's the best.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I mean, this movie is a movie about Okay, So
this is her talking about what the movie is about
in the book is about the best. I mean, this
movie is a movie about a woman who experiences every
color of the human emotion and the people who loved
her and support her along the way.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
So I feel that here tonight, I'm so grateful. Ah,
Like I say, I can't recommend it enough.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And then finally, lastly, our Olympic update. The women's basketball
team is going for their fifty eighth consecutive win on
their quest for gold against Nigeria today. That is three
things you need to know for the seventh of August
coming up at eight twenty. If you're curious about solo travel,
planning your first vacation by yourself, stepping outside your comfort zone,
(13:08):
or maybe you already do it and you just want
to know more on how to do it, better, do
not go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
We're gonna talk about that next cause.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
You're waking up with kiss in the morning, Kiss what else?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Seven?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
One?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Hi, good morning.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
We're not far off from your chance to win tickets
here on the show the When I say the phrase
solo travel, what immediately happens to the inside of your body?
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
What's that first immediate reaction when I say you're gonna
go on a trip by yourself, do you coil up?
And you're like, I don't know about that. Man, that
sounds great, but I don't know if I'm that type
of person or are you open to the adventure and
it excites you.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Maybe you might be somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
So we started having this conversation after I got back
from Amsterdam, which was not a solo trip, but I
had told Sarah, you know, sometimes she pops into my show.
I think this could have been a good city for
a solo trip. Do you remember this video we posted
on Instagram? She said, it's just not for me. So
in studio today I have Michelle Walters. Good morning, Michelle,
good morning, Thanks so much for having me. Yeah, and
(14:08):
she heard the conversation and she's like, wait a minute,
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. I
went to Europe for three months by myself, and I said,
and she said, it ultimately led to me working in
the travel industry and trying to help others book travel
for solo. I said, why don't you come in and
let's chat about it. Three months in Europe by yourself,
(14:28):
and this is the girl that was afraid to do
a museum trip in Italy alone?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
How did that go? Walk us through a little bit
of the story.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
Yeah, so, way back in twenty thirteen, I did a
study abroad program in Italy and there were a handful
of museums that I wanted to see.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Some of the other girls that I was rooming with.
Speaker 9 (14:45):
Didn't want to go with me, and I thought, I
did not come all this way to not see what
I want to see, So either I go by myself
or I don't see it at all. So I bucked up,
made an itinerary for myself and spent two days bouncing
around all the different museums, walking around.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
The cities, eating by myself. And it was amazing.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
I very much surprised myself and how much I loved
that alone time and how amazing I felt at navigating
the city by myself and doing all of those things
all on my own as just a college student.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
And I was hooked from there.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Michelle, you would categorize yourself, though, as the girl before
you went to these Italy trips, as someone that would
have never done it by themselves.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Would you say that that's true? Absolutely?
Speaker 9 (15:28):
I would have been scared to death to do that
even dining by myself, going anywhere locally, by myself, just
doing really anything, it was I just couldn't bring myself
to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
So we're going to intertwine some tips in between your
storytelling here a little bit. So let's go with, like,
what's your top tip for someone that wants to book
solo traveled?
Speaker 9 (15:51):
My top tip is get out of your own head
exactly where I was with.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
What are people going to think? Are they going to
judge me?
Speaker 9 (15:58):
Are they going to think I'm some empathetical that doesn't
have any friends. The mind can spiral, but be kind
to yourself, right, So people are not going to think
about you in the same way that you are thinking
about yourself.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Okay, it's gonna sound kind of mean.
Speaker 9 (16:15):
But we're all a little bit self absorbed sometimes, so
people are probably not even noticing that you're there by yourself.
And if they are, and if these thoughts start to
creep in, you're gonna do some thought restructuring.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Okay, this is little therapeutic.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Technique here we go.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Okay, right, I'm putting this psych degree to use right now.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Okay, so you're gonna say, instead of all these people
who are looking at me right now, probably think I'm
so pathetic. I can't even find one friend to come
to this coffee shop with me right now. Nope, you're
going to say instead, Wow, I bet all these people
are so envious of me.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I'm so brave here.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
I am just enjoying this day on my own by myself.
Just so powerful sitting here with my cappuccino. You're going
to rephrase every single negative thought that comes into your
head like that, and eventually you're just going to convince
yourself of it. Your mind is your most powerful tool,
So you've got to get out of your own head.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Michelle, I love that.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Okay, So take us back to Italy, you do the
museum trip, and then you come home and you have
discovered that you really like this, And where do you
kind of go from here? If you're like looking to
dip your toe in the water, maybe domestically right is
where you kind of want to start. And maybe you're
not going to Europe right away, But where would you
recommend for somebody here in Cincinnati that's curious about doing
(17:28):
things solo?
Speaker 9 (17:30):
I would say, definitely start small and start with the
one thing that scares you the most. You're never really
going right in. Yeah, we're doing we're diving, we're deep diving.
We're going four folks, it's not to get real right now.
So whatever scares you the most, you've got to get
yourself out of your comfort zone. So if what it
is is going to a super fancy restaurant dining by yourself,
(17:52):
scared of it, that's what you need to do.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
First.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Just pick a restaurant that maybe you've passed by and
you're really curious about. Maybe it's a new one that's opening,
it's your favorite type of cuisine. Treat yourself. Okay, go there,
get out of your own head and just do that.
And don't try to force it. Don't try to do
one thing every single day that scares you. I've seen
that kind of stuff pop up on the internet as well.
Start small, be patient with yourself, trust yourself. Just go
(18:17):
out there, do that one thing, and then take a
step back, reflect on it, process it. What did you
love about it? What did you not love about it?
Would you maybe try something different next time? Was that
maybe just too much for you. Maybe a new museum
exhibit is more up your alley instead, And so eventually,
as you start to try and just naturally organically work
these things into your life. You'll discover what it is
(18:39):
that you like, and that's going to give you the
confidence to do maybe a weekend in Seattle, maybe down
to Mexico, and eventually in fifteen years you also will
be on a three month excursion.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Solo through Europe.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Right, you don't need to necessarily go through three Yeah,
and we're going to get to the three months here
in a second. If you're just walking into this conversation.
Michelle Walters heard our conversation weeks ago about solo travel
and she says like, oh my god, I was a
girl that would have never gone anywhere solo, and I
just did three months in Europe. Walk me through that
(19:10):
portion now, because someone listening is like, how do you
go from being afraid to go out to dinner to
going to seven different countries.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Slowly but surely? Okay.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
So I was at a place it was just about
a year ago, maybe fourteen months ago. I had this
corporate sort of dead end job where I wasn't making
any upward progress that I felt like I should. I
was coming up on my lease ending. I knew I
didn't want to renew, but I didn't know where I
wanted to live. I had a remote job that allowed
me to work anywhere, which was great, but I had
(19:42):
sort of this decision paralysis where I couldn't figure out
where I wanted to go and what I wanted to
do next. So I had these thousands of skymiles just
gathering dust in my Delta account, and I was like,
you know what I need inspiration? I need something different,
some novelty events, excitement. I don't know when this situation
(20:04):
is ever going to happen to me again where I
can just pick up and go. I mean, no mortgage,
no car payment, no husband, boyfriends. I have to make
these arrangements where you know, I was freezer bird.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
So walk me through.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
When you get where did you go in Europe? I
mean you don't have to list out all the countries,
but like, where did one start?
Speaker 9 (20:20):
The main way this came about is I was dying
to go to London, So I started with three weeks
in London, bought a one way ticket to London, and
just kind of freestyled the rest of it. I also
had a friend in Switzerland. She was doing a graduate
program there. I said, hey, guess what I'm getting ready
to come to Europe. Do you want to hang out?
So she hosted me for a week, which was great
for my wallet, So bounce around there. There were a
(20:43):
couple other cities in Italy that I didn't get to
see back in twenty thirteen. Decided to attack those onto
the list and then I was also really craven Dublin
and a friend of mine was from there and she
was like, you have to go, you have to hit
these places. It was like I got some insider knowledge.
So I ended the three months in October and Dublin.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
We're for somebody that's listening right now, we're gonna We
did the top what's the top tip to get you know,
solo trip? And that your advice was to get out
of your head? What about a logistical tip? Now for
all my type ayars that are like, all right, what's
the one thing I need to know about, like getting
out of here?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Not just the personal one inside the head.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Yeah, I would say there are two big ones. First,
hire a travel advisor. Okay, it helps, it very much helps.
It's a great time to be live and on the
internet with all of the travel influencers, travel bloggers, destinations
they hit, bringing it right to your phone, but you're
gonna want a bespoke itinerary, not following somebody else's itinerary,
and a travel advisor can help, okay, filter through all
(21:40):
of that stuff and get you what you want and
need out of that trip. The second one is definitely
come to your travel advisor with some ideas, and you
should probably pick somewhere that already has an established infrastructure.
So now it's probably not the time to throw caution
to the wind and go in like a week long
safari to Africa or something. Start with a place like Amsterdam.
(22:01):
A lot of people in Europe, at even in primary school,
they learn English as their second language. So if you
need help, if you need restaurant recommendations, if you're lost
on the metro, you can very easily find help, and
some of that can go a long way in helping
you navigate around versus a country where maybe English isn't
as prominent, or there isn't as many restaurants or kind
(22:23):
of top touristy.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Sites, things like that.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
So make it a little bit easier on yourself and
go somewhere that's like Cliche or London or Paris.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Before we get to help people can contact you, Michelle.
The one personal thing I have if I can go
on a personal note here, that I would be afraid
of with solo travel is language barriers.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
What do you have to say to that? That is huge?
Speaker 9 (22:44):
And I think that is why one of my top
logistical tips is going somewhere like London, Paris, Amsterdam.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Somewhere where there are already.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
Millions of tourists going there because the locals are going
to be familiar with it. The attitude towards it is
going to be a little bit different. But a guidebook
can help, a translation like a dictionary, having these people
translate on your app, little things like that, And honestly
it sounds kind of tacky, but practicing what you're going
to say. The number of times I practiced what I
(23:13):
was going to say in order before I actually walked
into the restaurant, you'd be surprised how much that can
put your mind at ease.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Michelle Walters, Guys, I know we went on a little
bit long about this, and you guy, you know that
I just I'm curious.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
When I am curious about.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Something, I'll ask you eight hundred and seventy five questions
and that might be a touch of my ADHD.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
But thank you for coming in.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
If people want to find you because you do book
solo travel, where should they go to find you? Social
media sometimes is the easiest way for people to connect.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Yeah, the easiest would be Jane of All Travel. So
my handle is She's the Jane of All Travels on
Instagram and that can link you through link tree to
my various websites, email address, things like.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
That, She's the Jane of all Travel. I love it.
Thank you, Michelle. Of course, if you've gone somewhere solo
and you want to contribute to the conversation five three
seven seven one, we can get you on the air
as well.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Glenn, you need to know she's got you. It's Three
Things with Ti.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Hi, good morning.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
We're just before nine o'clock. At nine oh five, I
have your next chance of the morning to win a
free trip to Vegas to our iHeartRadio Music Festival, all
expenses paid to see Gwen Stefani, Paramore, Camila Cobeo, Big
Sean Hosier in more So, Don't Go Far Drake is
the lead story in Three Things this Morning. However, I
promise to keep you updated on things as they progressed,
(24:33):
and it was announced late in the show yesterday that
Vice President Kamala Harris has picked her running mate for
vice president in the election coming up, and that is
Governor Tim Waltz from Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Hereos thank you.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Madam Vice President, for the trust you put in me,
but maybe more so, thank you for bringing.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Back the joy.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
It'd be me but anyone, anytime, any person says thank you,
and like the certain Cadence, all I think is this
thank you.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
All right, let's get it to Drake.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yesterday, of all of twelve hours ago, maybe thirteen. At
this point, Drake started not only a new Instagram account
called the Plot Twist with a bunch of tea's at
the end if you want to look it up, but
he then released three new songs. Now I'm gonna play
just a few of you, a few of them for
you here, but on this Instagram account. Usually when an
(25:37):
artist drops a new one, they throw up like a
couple of carousels, maybe one or two reels.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
You could scroll for days.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
On this new account and see a bunch of unreleased
Drake footage, new old, all of it, and like I said,
including these three songs. This one is called blue Green Red.
And here's a clip. It's a Drake bopped.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
You gotta lay down.
Speaker 10 (26:03):
We make men gotta less to just shid since we
blew up and got green. I gotta leave red for
a gunshot. And I did put some out of my head.
I'll just turn out no place instead.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
When I say blue green red, that's new from Drake.
Also another one out there. This one's featuring Lotto. This
is called house keeping Nose.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Here's a clip for you.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
I can't get no eight hours asleep now, it's like
she's house keeper must know that we's on freeze.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And then there's a final one on there with twenty
one Savage and Young Thug and by the way, Young
Thugs still very much in prison.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
So with that, there's a.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Website is link in the bio on the Instagram that's
got like it's called one hundred gigs. It's got a
hundred gigs of unseen Drake footage. So there you go. Finally,
in three things you need to note this morning, the
red carpet for It Ends with Us was last night.
I loved how Hugh Jackman pulled up with Ryan Reynolds
to Blake Live Least movie because you know. Conversely, she
(27:09):
did the same thing when Deadpool came out and they
asked her, you guys have two movies together. What are
your thoughts on this?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh my gosh, it's just so thrilling.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
You know, we help each other, We work together so much.
The iconic grouptop scene in this movie, my husband actually
wrote it. Nobody knows that, but you now so. Ryan
Reynolds had a part in the movie.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Guys. I cannot recommend the book enough.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
It ends with Us is going to be a huge
summer movie coming out this weekend.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
All right, that's three things you need to know for
the seventh of August.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Your chance to win that trip to Vegas At nine
oh five, you're waking.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Up fifth in the morning, h kiss one o seven one.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
If you've been consuming NonStop Olympics at your house and
you've thought to yourself, you know what, if given the
proper training time and equipment, or if my parents put
me into this thing at three or four years old,
I might have been able to show up at the
Paris Games in twenty twenty four. You know what, You're
gonna be able to put your skills to the test
this weekend. Joining me this morning is Andrea, who's the
(28:04):
fitness coordinator of the Family Place also known as Silver
Lake in northern Kentucky, is hosting something called the Splash
and Dash this Saturday.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Good morning, Andrea, good morning.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
You couldn't have picked up the better time to put
together an event, because after two weeks worth of the Olympics,
as we gear up for the Pair Olympics as well,
this is the perfect time to put.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
A little bit of those skills to the tests.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So Saturday morning at eight am, it's called the Splash
and Dash. Two hundred and fifty meters in the pool,
which is how many laps.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
It's gonna be five laps in the pool for you,
which is manageable. I sees.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
I see the.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Five laps in an Olympic sized pool is manageable.
Speaker 11 (28:45):
I guess out at about twenty five meters and then
I got a hold of wall or something and then
I'm like, where's the life jacket?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Pretty much, and then followed by the two hundred and
fifty you'll jump out of the pool and do a
five k.
Speaker 11 (28:58):
That's right, So three point one miles for your five k,
just around the Erlanger community that we've got for yet.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Okay, like I said, this is happening Saturday at eight am.
All of the proceeds, of course go to the Bridge
Adaptive program, which you were telling me is like this
is really cool and provides families with so many things.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
What's a great example of that.
Speaker 11 (29:19):
So the Bridge Adaptive they help those who have abilities
but they're needing some adaptive equipment. They help them find
their sport, They help to loan out the adaptive equipment
that they may need, and then they provide education, support
and development for that sport so that way they don't
have to worry about these different barriers keeping them from
(29:42):
participating in either competitive or leisure activities.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I like the fact that they want to help you
navigate your sport.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
So what do you want to do? Do you want to
do something in the pool? Do you want to do
something with basketball? You want to do something tenise, like,
what do you want to do? And then they also
help the equipment so you don't have to go and
find all this stuff.
Speaker 11 (29:58):
Right yes, and then even just they'll bring in some
national experts as well to help provide training so you
can go in with absolutely zero experience. But as long
as you just want to try this sport out, go
for it.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
So you if this doesn't affect someone in your own home,
it might affect someone in your inner circle. So if
your ears are perking up, great, I'm glad I caught you.
So this is the Splash and Dash. It's happening this Saturday.
If you have been non stop consuming Olympic content and
you want to put your skills to the test eight
am at Silver Lake, which is the family place in
(30:32):
northern Kentucky, you can come. You do two hundred and
fifty meters in the pool, followed by a five k,
and all the proceeds go to that adaptive program.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
So I think this will be a good time. Oh,
it's going to be a great time.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
And then if you're a little bit nervous about either
the swim or the five k, that's okay. You can
choose to do just one or the other.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I you know, maybe I've watched too many Olympics games and.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I'm like, I can do this. If they can do it,
I can do it.
Speaker 11 (30:59):
I've been telling so many of my clients like when
I watch the Olympics, I get this false sense that
I can do everything that they're doing.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
It's true.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well that's Andrea, who's the fitness coordinator at silver Lake
the Family Place. I'll mention it one more time just
in case you're catching the tail end of this. The
splash and Dash is this Saturday at eight am. You
can run and swim or do either either or whatever
you want.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
It's up to you.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
It's happening at eight o'clock this coming Saturday. Thank you, Andrea.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
Yes, and then if I can just add up to
sign up, if you just go to our website Silverlakefamily
dot com. At the very top of our page, you'll
find the registration leap fifty dollars before race day or
seventy dollars.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Day of for you. Perfect. Thanks Andrea, Yeah, thank you,
Because you're waking up in the morning.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Good morning, Good morning, it's time for the daily debrief.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I like to debrief things, and I brought Sarah aleson.
You recognize her voice, maybe from the radio show that
she's on a kid Chris in the Morning over at WEBN,
but she comes on my show quite a bit.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
I have a lot of fun when I'm in here,
so but I'm always nervous when I walk in because
most of the time I don't know what to expect,
because you usually have something naughty up your sleeve.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Well I send, I do give her usually zero warning.
I just come in and she says, okay. So you
might have already gotten a taste of this on our
social if you're not following at Kiss one oh seven.
If you're a visual person, that's a good place to
start and check this out.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
There's a new way to sing the alphabet.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I had put the men, the cast of seven hundred Wow,
up against this challenge, and the men did not do well.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
So I'm gonna play.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
It first, and then I'll explain that I'm gonna have
Sarah I give.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
It a go. All right, So here it is, so
instead we sing it a b c d e, f
g h I j k l m n O, p
q r s, t qu v w x y z.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Now, I never will forget how to say the alpha bet.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
All right, Sarah, let it rip, go ahead right off
jump since you've heard it, and then I'll explain why
it's new.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh my gosh, okay A b.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
C d e f g h I j k l
m n O, p q r s, t u v
w x y z.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Now.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
I never will forget how to sing the alpha bet.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It almost got you, The element of b almost got you.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So the reason why they have changed it, when I
say they, I think teachers across the America, I don't know,
because as the element op kids have started saying that
as if it's an actual word, and I feel like.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
We all do that, like even though as adults were
singing it element o.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
P element pea, can you do it backwards? Not a change, listen,
I don't think so.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
It was already challenging doing it this way, because yeah,
you naturally just want to run it all together like
you've been doing your entire life, which is now what
they're trying to avoid.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Right, The beats changed on it. Yes, the beat's gone
from and it's well, I guess it's I don't know
here she's.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Doing it here, So instead we sing it A B
C D E f G.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That's the same h I j K l m N
not the same, right, p q r S T quv
w x y Z.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Now I never will forget how to say the alpha
bet Dude.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
That's pretty catchy, though, after you hear it a couple
of times, I feel like it could catch on. But
it's like we've heard it this way for thirty plus years,
you and I as millennials. It's like this is the
way that we've been doing it.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
There's no way I'm committing to the new way. No,
you know what I have committed though memory to uh.
I've committed so many early two thousands, like rap and
hip hop lyrics to my memory that I don't think
there's space for anything else inside this brain, including a
new ABCS.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
Yeah, what's one song that you could sing for karaoke?
Like we've talked about this with Joe Burrow, like his
go to karaoke song that you know every single word too,
like a rap song.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
It would be Heya by Outcasts. Really, that's a good one.
I could do most of waterfalls by tlc Oh.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Yeah, even the left eye rap. That's awesome. Yeah, I'm
thinking about like what song I could do?
Speaker 3 (03:44):
I know, Katy Shop. Go ahead, Sarah, let it rip.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
You do not want to hear.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
That without alcohol, or maybe you do. I don't know
either way. It's super cringey, but I can sing candy Shop.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
You're waking up in the morning time, kis let us
good morning.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You know the one thing I've noticed about track and field,
and it's second week, and no it is not the
pole vaulter, but my god, I'll never forget that one.
It's that the athletes have headphones in their ears more
often than the first week, most likely because you know,
the first week is full of events with water and
the second one is full of events with track and field.
(04:24):
But nonetheless, I've found more athletes pump up songs and
what their go to is. We've talked about this a
little bit in the last week. So here we are
on the second week, kind of revisiting again. You can
tell a lot about someone's personality by what their go
to song is right before they need to do something
very very important. So we'll start off with Women's beach Volleyball.
(04:45):
It's Tern and Christen. They are so close by the
way that they're not only roommates, but they share air pods.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
As they're warming up.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
They go with something from Wicked called Defying Gravity.
Speaker 7 (04:56):
It's time too, and you can't holp me.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
Understand.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'll be Can we take a detour quickly? That Wicked
movie coming out? I've seen the trailer a bunch when
I go to movie Sunday.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
It looks good. Thanksgiving weekend is when that thing comes out,
and I think it's gonna be very very very very good.
All Right, show tunes, show tunes can do it.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
The Greatest Showman is one of my favorite soundtracks ever,
so I get that. Moving on to heptap heptathlon racer
an A Hall, she goes.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
With the classic Justin Bieber. Yeah, I can see.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Jasmine Moore is a triple jump and long jumper. She
goes with one of my favorite artists of all time,
and that's Jake Cole's Nouro Models.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
What's time for my Las Sisters?
Speaker 1 (06:08):
What's time for my La La La? What's up for? No?
Speaker 7 (06:14):
Don't she don't want to say, don't save us?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
She don't want to be saved.
Speaker 8 (06:19):
Don't save she don't want to be said, don't save up, she.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Don't want to be saved.
Speaker 8 (06:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
One of the best, one of the best albums twenty
fourteen four sils Drive.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
All right, moving on to Men's rowing, We're.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Gonna take a hard right in the music scene, Nick
Mead listens to Creede. You're not gonna get me to
(06:56):
make fun of Creed. I guarantee we haven't had a
chance to go back and forth on this. But Creed
was in Sincy over the weekend. Bet the thing was
sold out, packed to the brim. They just said, I
mean they have hits. All right, I've got time for
(07:26):
Let's get into one more. This one, this one really
surprised me. C. J. Nicholas, who's into taekwondo, who's twenty
three years old. His repeat song, the one that you
play until your ears bleed, was siss a snooze.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I KILLO missed the moment?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
How can you snooze and missed the moment? You're gonna
fall asleep and miss the moment? Like I said, you
can really tell a lot about someone with choose before
the biggest moment of their life.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
All Right, we're commercial free for a little bit longer.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
More importantly, music wise, Drake put out three new songs yesterday.
I'll have that in the Three Things you need to
Know coming up at seven.
Speaker 9 (08:12):
Fifty when you need to know She's got you.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
It's Three Things with Tip good morning.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
We're just before eight o'clock, and at eight thirty, I
have your first chance of the day to win Glass
Animals tickets at Riverbend. Drake's going to be the lead
story on this hour Three Things, because about twelve hours
ago and you might have come across some of this
on your feed already. He released three new songs and
a bunch of content, the first being a brand new
Instagram called account called plot Twist. If you want to
(08:46):
look this thing up, it's got about five or six
t's at the end of it. Usually when an artist
drops something new on a new Instagram page, you've got
maybe one or two photos of carousels and maybe a
real This man unloaded the content. You could scroll for
days and see brand new Drake stuff that you've never
seen before. A lot of it is at video camera
footage that he's been carrying around since the Sexy Red
(09:08):
video and says a video dropped, So it's a lot
and some of it's really old, some of it's more current, photos,
reels everything. But on top of that, we have three
brand new songs. The first one, I'm Gonna play you
is called Blue Green Red, and it's definitely, definitely gonna
be the next latest Drake.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Bop hanging gotta lay Down.
Speaker 10 (09:30):
We gotta less songs, just shed since we blow up
and got green. I gotta lead for a gunshop and
I'd had my pot song out of my head.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
I just turned off to day since that.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Very good, right. It's called Blue Green Red.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Another song that came out the second of three, this
is called Housekeeping Nose and it features Lotto.
Speaker 8 (09:56):
I can't get no light hours asleep now it's like
the third time switching. She's house keeping must know that
he's on freeze.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
So final song is called It's Up.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
It also features Young Thug and twenty one Savage on it.
Young Thug is still very much in prison. Drake is
calling for his release, et cetera.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
On the song.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But it's always so crazy to me that someone from
prison can record song lyrics outside.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Of the plot twist, like I said.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Instagram account there's one hundred gigs for your Head Bop,
which or your head Top rather, which is the website
that you can click on in his bio, and that
is where you'll see tons in tons of content. There
was a video up there of him talking about how
the song Hotline Bling came about. I mean, I'll have
some of that in our next hour. But Drake is here,
by the way, of course, he's on the heels of
(10:50):
his Kendrick Lamar disc track back and forth. And you know,
we already know that not Like Us is just one
of the biggest songs of the summer.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Did very well.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Some would say that that Kendrick.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Lamar is the winner out of this.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
If you're going out of straight hits and straight number ones,
then Kendrick Lamar was. Yes, Drake, I don't know if
he necessarily raised the white flag on it. I had
already talked about this at length, but I think he's
kind of just moved on and is creating music again.
And we'll see. It was overwhelming, but it was good,
all right. Second, and three things you need to know
(11:25):
this morning. I'm very, very excited for the new It
Ends with Us movie, and this will probably be the
second and final thing we get into. Blake Lively had
the Red Carpet premiere last night, and the number one
thing that people are talking about is the fact that
her dress is Britney Spears.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Is Britney's actual dress. It's her actual dresses.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
I know, it like should be in the Smithsonian or
the Mets. Me this so lucky.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yeah, it's a Versace dress that Brittany had worn previously.
And I think there's a fashion house out of la
that probably has all of these dresses, right, and then
you can rent them and loan them, et cetera. There's
got to be a huge insurance policy on them. But
she just looked stunning. Guys, I can't recommend the book
It Ends with Us more like you have to read
it if you're a book lover. It Ends with Us
(12:11):
is written by Colleen Hoover. If you follow book talk,
you know it's just huge. But the movie comes out
this weekend and it's just it's gonna be probably one
of the best of the summer. Here she is in
another clip. I forget what this one's about.
Speaker 7 (12:26):
Oh, it's the best.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I mean, this movie is a movie about Okay, So
this is her talking about what the movie is about
in the book is about the best. I mean, this
movie is a movie about a woman who experiences every
color of the human emotion and the people who loved
her and support her along the way.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
So I feel that here tonight, I'm so grateful. Ah,
Like I say, I can't recommend it enough.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
And then finally, lastly, our Olympic update. The women's basketball
team is going for their fifty eighth consecutive win on
their quest for gold against Nigeria today. That is three
things you need to know for the seventh of August
coming up at eight twenty. If you're curious about solo travel,
planning your first vacation by yourself, stepping outside your comfort zone,
(13:08):
or maybe you already do it and you just want
to know more on how to do it, better, do
not go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
We're gonna talk about that next cause.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
You're waking up with kiss in the morning, Kiss what else?
Speaker 5 (13:17):
Seven?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
One?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Hi, good morning.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
We're not far off from your chance to win tickets
here on the show the When I say the phrase
solo travel, what immediately happens to the inside of your body?
Speaker 8 (13:30):
Are you?
Speaker 2 (13:31):
What's that first immediate reaction when I say you're gonna
go on a trip by yourself, do you coil up?
And you're like, I don't know about that. Man, that
sounds great, but I don't know if I'm that type
of person or are you open to the adventure and
it excites you.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Maybe you might be somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
So we started having this conversation after I got back
from Amsterdam, which was not a solo trip, but I
had told Sarah, you know, sometimes she pops into my show.
I think this could have been a good city for
a solo trip. Do you remember this video we posted
on Instagram? She said, it's just not for me. So
in studio today I have Michelle Walters. Good morning, Michelle,
good morning, Thanks so much for having me. Yeah, and
(14:08):
she heard the conversation and she's like, wait a minute,
Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. I
went to Europe for three months by myself, and I said,
and she said, it ultimately led to me working in
the travel industry and trying to help others book travel
for solo. I said, why don't you come in and
let's chat about it. Three months in Europe by yourself,
(14:28):
and this is the girl that was afraid to do
a museum trip in Italy alone?
Speaker 3 (14:33):
How did that go? Walk us through a little bit
of the story.
Speaker 9 (14:36):
Yeah, so, way back in twenty thirteen, I did a
study abroad program in Italy and there were a handful
of museums that I wanted to see.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Some of the other girls that I was rooming with.
Speaker 9 (14:45):
Didn't want to go with me, and I thought, I
did not come all this way to not see what
I want to see, So either I go by myself
or I don't see it at all. So I bucked up,
made an itinerary for myself and spent two days bouncing
around all the different museums, walking around.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
The cities, eating by myself. And it was amazing.
Speaker 9 (15:04):
I very much surprised myself and how much I loved
that alone time and how amazing I felt at navigating
the city by myself and doing all of those things
all on my own as just a college student.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
And I was hooked from there.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Michelle, you would categorize yourself, though, as the girl before
you went to these Italy trips, as someone that would
have never done it by themselves.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Would you say that that's true? Absolutely?
Speaker 9 (15:28):
I would have been scared to death to do that
even dining by myself, going anywhere locally, by myself, just
doing really anything, it was I just couldn't bring myself
to do it.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
So we're going to intertwine some tips in between your
storytelling here a little bit. So let's go with, like,
what's your top tip for someone that wants to book
solo traveled?
Speaker 9 (15:51):
My top tip is get out of your own head
exactly where I was with.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
What are people going to think? Are they going to
judge me?
Speaker 9 (15:58):
Are they going to think I'm some empathetical that doesn't
have any friends. The mind can spiral, but be kind
to yourself, right, So people are not going to think
about you in the same way that you are thinking
about yourself.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Okay, it's gonna sound kind of mean.
Speaker 9 (16:15):
But we're all a little bit self absorbed sometimes, so
people are probably not even noticing that you're there by yourself.
And if they are, and if these thoughts start to
creep in, you're gonna do some thought restructuring.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Okay, this is little therapeutic.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Technique here we go.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Okay, right, I'm putting this psych degree to use right now.
Speaker 9 (16:32):
Okay, so you're gonna say, instead of all these people
who are looking at me right now, probably think I'm
so pathetic. I can't even find one friend to come
to this coffee shop with me right now. Nope, you're
going to say instead, Wow, I bet all these people
are so envious of me.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
I'm so brave here.
Speaker 9 (16:50):
I am just enjoying this day on my own by myself.
Just so powerful sitting here with my cappuccino. You're going
to rephrase every single negative thought that comes into your
head like that, and eventually you're just going to convince
yourself of it. Your mind is your most powerful tool,
So you've got to get out of your own head.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Michelle, I love that.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Okay, So take us back to Italy, you do the
museum trip, and then you come home and you have
discovered that you really like this, And where do you
kind of go from here? If you're like looking to
dip your toe in the water, maybe domestically right is
where you kind of want to start. And maybe you're
not going to Europe right away, But where would you
recommend for somebody here in Cincinnati that's curious about doing
(17:28):
things solo?
Speaker 9 (17:30):
I would say, definitely start small and start with the
one thing that scares you the most. You're never really
going right in. Yeah, we're doing we're diving, we're deep diving.
We're going four folks, it's not to get real right now.
So whatever scares you the most, you've got to get
yourself out of your comfort zone. So if what it
is is going to a super fancy restaurant dining by yourself,
(17:52):
scared of it, that's what you need to do.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
First.
Speaker 9 (17:54):
Just pick a restaurant that maybe you've passed by and
you're really curious about. Maybe it's a new one that's opening,
it's your favorite type of cuisine. Treat yourself. Okay, go there,
get out of your own head and just do that.
And don't try to force it. Don't try to do
one thing every single day that scares you. I've seen
that kind of stuff pop up on the internet as well.
Start small, be patient with yourself, trust yourself. Just go
(18:17):
out there, do that one thing, and then take a
step back, reflect on it, process it. What did you
love about it? What did you not love about it?
Would you maybe try something different next time? Was that
maybe just too much for you. Maybe a new museum
exhibit is more up your alley instead, And so eventually,
as you start to try and just naturally organically work
these things into your life. You'll discover what it is
(18:39):
that you like, and that's going to give you the
confidence to do maybe a weekend in Seattle, maybe down
to Mexico, and eventually in fifteen years you also will
be on a three month excursion.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
Solo through Europe.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Right, you don't need to necessarily go through three Yeah,
and we're going to get to the three months here
in a second. If you're just walking into this conversation.
Michelle Walters heard our conversation weeks ago about solo travel
and she says like, oh my god, I was a
girl that would have never gone anywhere solo, and I
just did three months in Europe. Walk me through that
(19:10):
portion now, because someone listening is like, how do you
go from being afraid to go out to dinner to
going to seven different countries.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Slowly but surely? Okay.
Speaker 9 (19:20):
So I was at a place it was just about
a year ago, maybe fourteen months ago. I had this
corporate sort of dead end job where I wasn't making
any upward progress that I felt like I should. I
was coming up on my lease ending. I knew I
didn't want to renew, but I didn't know where I
wanted to live. I had a remote job that allowed
me to work anywhere, which was great, but I had
(19:42):
sort of this decision paralysis where I couldn't figure out
where I wanted to go and what I wanted to
do next. So I had these thousands of skymiles just
gathering dust in my Delta account, and I was like,
you know what I need inspiration? I need something different,
some novelty events, excitement. I don't know when this situation
(20:04):
is ever going to happen to me again where I
can just pick up and go. I mean, no mortgage,
no car payment, no husband, boyfriends. I have to make
these arrangements where you know, I was freezer bird.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
So walk me through.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
When you get where did you go in Europe? I
mean you don't have to list out all the countries,
but like, where did one start?
Speaker 9 (20:20):
The main way this came about is I was dying
to go to London, So I started with three weeks
in London, bought a one way ticket to London, and
just kind of freestyled the rest of it. I also
had a friend in Switzerland. She was doing a graduate
program there. I said, hey, guess what I'm getting ready
to come to Europe. Do you want to hang out?
So she hosted me for a week, which was great
for my wallet, So bounce around there. There were a
(20:43):
couple other cities in Italy that I didn't get to
see back in twenty thirteen. Decided to attack those onto
the list and then I was also really craven Dublin
and a friend of mine was from there and she
was like, you have to go, you have to hit
these places. It was like I got some insider knowledge.
So I ended the three months in October and Dublin.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
We're for somebody that's listening right now, we're gonna We
did the top what's the top tip to get you know,
solo trip? And that your advice was to get out
of your head? What about a logistical tip? Now for
all my type ayars that are like, all right, what's
the one thing I need to know about, like getting
out of here?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Not just the personal one inside the head.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Yeah, I would say there are two big ones. First,
hire a travel advisor. Okay, it helps, it very much helps.
It's a great time to be live and on the
internet with all of the travel influencers, travel bloggers, destinations
they hit, bringing it right to your phone, but you're
gonna want a bespoke itinerary, not following somebody else's itinerary,
and a travel advisor can help, okay, filter through all
(21:40):
of that stuff and get you what you want and
need out of that trip. The second one is definitely
come to your travel advisor with some ideas, and you
should probably pick somewhere that already has an established infrastructure.
So now it's probably not the time to throw caution
to the wind and go in like a week long
safari to Africa or something. Start with a place like Amsterdam.
(22:01):
A lot of people in Europe, at even in primary school,
they learn English as their second language. So if you
need help, if you need restaurant recommendations, if you're lost
on the metro, you can very easily find help, and
some of that can go a long way in helping
you navigate around versus a country where maybe English isn't
as prominent, or there isn't as many restaurants or kind
(22:23):
of top touristy.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Sites, things like that.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
So make it a little bit easier on yourself and
go somewhere that's like Cliche or London or Paris.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
Before we get to help people can contact you, Michelle.
The one personal thing I have if I can go
on a personal note here, that I would be afraid
of with solo travel is language barriers.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
What do you have to say to that? That is huge?
Speaker 9 (22:44):
And I think that is why one of my top
logistical tips is going somewhere like London, Paris, Amsterdam.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Somewhere where there are already.
Speaker 9 (22:52):
Millions of tourists going there because the locals are going
to be familiar with it. The attitude towards it is
going to be a little bit different. But a guidebook
can help, a translation like a dictionary, having these people
translate on your app, little things like that, And honestly
it sounds kind of tacky, but practicing what you're going
to say. The number of times I practiced what I
(23:13):
was going to say in order before I actually walked
into the restaurant, you'd be surprised how much that can
put your mind at ease.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Michelle Walters, Guys, I know we went on a little
bit long about this, and you guy, you know that
I just I'm curious.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
When I am curious about.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Something, I'll ask you eight hundred and seventy five questions
and that might be a touch of my ADHD.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
But thank you for coming in.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
If people want to find you because you do book
solo travel, where should they go to find you? Social
media sometimes is the easiest way for people to connect.
Speaker 9 (23:39):
Yeah, the easiest would be Jane of All Travel. So
my handle is She's the Jane of All Travels on
Instagram and that can link you through link tree to
my various websites, email address, things like.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
That, She's the Jane of all Travel. I love it.
Thank you, Michelle. Of course, if you've gone somewhere solo
and you want to contribute to the conversation five three
seven seven one, we can get you on the air
as well.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Glenn, you need to know she's got you. It's Three
Things with Ti.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Hi, good morning.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
We're just before nine o'clock. At nine oh five, I
have your next chance of the morning to win a
free trip to Vegas to our iHeartRadio Music Festival, all
expenses paid to see Gwen Stefani, Paramore, Camila Cobeo, Big
Sean Hosier in more So, Don't Go Far Drake is
the lead story in Three Things this Morning. However, I
promise to keep you updated on things as they progressed,
(24:33):
and it was announced late in the show yesterday that
Vice President Kamala Harris has picked her running mate for
vice president in the election coming up, and that is
Governor Tim Waltz from Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Hereos thank you.
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Madam Vice President, for the trust you put in me,
but maybe more so, thank you for bringing.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Back the joy.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
It'd be me but anyone, anytime, any person says thank you,
and like the certain Cadence, all I think is this
thank you.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
All right, let's get it to Drake.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yesterday, of all of twelve hours ago, maybe thirteen. At
this point, Drake started not only a new Instagram account
called the Plot Twist with a bunch of tea's at
the end if you want to look it up, but
he then released three new songs. Now I'm gonna play
just a few of you, a few of them for
you here, but on this Instagram account. Usually when an
(25:37):
artist drops a new one, they throw up like a
couple of carousels, maybe one or two reels.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
You could scroll for days.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
On this new account and see a bunch of unreleased
Drake footage, new old, all of it, and like I said,
including these three songs. This one is called blue Green Red.
And here's a clip. It's a Drake bopped.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
You gotta lay down.
Speaker 10 (26:03):
We make men gotta less to just shid since we
blew up and got green. I gotta leave red for
a gunshot. And I did put some out of my head.
I'll just turn out no place instead.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
When I say blue green red, that's new from Drake.
Also another one out there. This one's featuring Lotto. This
is called house keeping Nose.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Here's a clip for you.
Speaker 8 (26:28):
I can't get no eight hours asleep now, it's like
she's house keeper must know that we's on freeze.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
And then there's a final one on there with twenty
one Savage and Young Thug and by the way, Young
Thugs still very much in prison.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
So with that, there's a.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Website is link in the bio on the Instagram that's
got like it's called one hundred gigs. It's got a
hundred gigs of unseen Drake footage. So there you go. Finally,
in three things you need to note this morning, the
red carpet for It Ends with Us was last night.
I loved how Hugh Jackman pulled up with Ryan Reynolds
to Blake Live Least movie because you know. Conversely, she
(27:09):
did the same thing when Deadpool came out and they
asked her, you guys have two movies together. What are
your thoughts on this?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh my gosh, it's just so thrilling.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
You know, we help each other, We work together so much.
The iconic grouptop scene in this movie, my husband actually
wrote it. Nobody knows that, but you now so. Ryan
Reynolds had a part in the movie.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
Guys. I cannot recommend the book enough.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
It ends with Us is going to be a huge
summer movie coming out this weekend.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
All right, that's three things you need to know for
the seventh of August.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Your chance to win that trip to Vegas At nine
oh five, you're waking.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Up fifth in the morning, h kiss one o seven one.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
If you've been consuming NonStop Olympics at your house and
you've thought to yourself, you know what, if given the
proper training time and equipment, or if my parents put
me into this thing at three or four years old,
I might have been able to show up at the
Paris Games in twenty twenty four. You know what, You're
gonna be able to put your skills to the test
this weekend. Joining me this morning is Andrea, who's the
(28:04):
fitness coordinator of the Family Place also known as Silver
Lake in northern Kentucky, is hosting something called the Splash
and Dash this Saturday.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Good morning, Andrea, good morning.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
You couldn't have picked up the better time to put
together an event, because after two weeks worth of the Olympics,
as we gear up for the Pair Olympics as well,
this is the perfect time to put.
Speaker 3 (28:26):
A little bit of those skills to the tests.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
So Saturday morning at eight am, it's called the Splash
and Dash. Two hundred and fifty meters in the pool,
which is how many laps.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
It's gonna be five laps in the pool for you,
which is manageable. I sees.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
I see the.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Five laps in an Olympic sized pool is manageable.
Speaker 11 (28:45):
I guess out at about twenty five meters and then
I got a hold of wall or something and then
I'm like, where's the life jacket?
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Pretty much, and then followed by the two hundred and
fifty you'll jump out of the pool and do a
five k.
Speaker 11 (28:58):
That's right, So three point one miles for your five k,
just around the Erlanger community that we've got for yet.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Okay, like I said, this is happening Saturday at eight am.
All of the proceeds, of course go to the Bridge
Adaptive program, which you were telling me is like this
is really cool and provides families with so many things.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
What's a great example of that.
Speaker 11 (29:19):
So the Bridge Adaptive they help those who have abilities
but they're needing some adaptive equipment. They help them find
their sport, They help to loan out the adaptive equipment
that they may need, and then they provide education, support
and development for that sport so that way they don't
have to worry about these different barriers keeping them from
(29:42):
participating in either competitive or leisure activities.
Speaker 3 (29:45):
I like the fact that they want to help you
navigate your sport.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
So what do you want to do? Do you want to
do something in the pool? Do you want to do
something with basketball? You want to do something tenise, like,
what do you want to do? And then they also
help the equipment so you don't have to go and
find all this stuff.
Speaker 11 (29:58):
Right yes, and then even just they'll bring in some
national experts as well to help provide training so you
can go in with absolutely zero experience. But as long
as you just want to try this sport out, go
for it.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
So you if this doesn't affect someone in your own home,
it might affect someone in your inner circle. So if
your ears are perking up, great, I'm glad I caught you.
So this is the Splash and Dash. It's happening this Saturday.
If you have been non stop consuming Olympic content and
you want to put your skills to the test eight
am at Silver Lake, which is the family place in
(30:32):
northern Kentucky, you can come. You do two hundred and
fifty meters in the pool, followed by a five k,
and all the proceeds go to that adaptive program.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
So I think this will be a good time. Oh,
it's going to be a great time.
Speaker 11 (30:44):
And then if you're a little bit nervous about either
the swim or the five k, that's okay. You can
choose to do just one or the other.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
I you know, maybe I've watched too many Olympics games and.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I'm like, I can do this. If they can do it,
I can do it.
Speaker 11 (30:59):
I've been telling so many of my clients like when
I watch the Olympics, I get this false sense that
I can do everything that they're doing.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
It's true.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Well that's Andrea, who's the fitness coordinator at silver Lake
the Family Place. I'll mention it one more time just
in case you're catching the tail end of this. The
splash and Dash is this Saturday at eight am. You
can run and swim or do either either or whatever
you want.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
It's up to you.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
It's happening at eight o'clock this coming Saturday. Thank you, Andrea.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
Yes, and then if I can just add up to
sign up, if you just go to our website Silverlakefamily
dot com. At the very top of our page, you'll
find the registration leap fifty dollars before race day or
seventy dollars.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Day of for you. Perfect. Thanks Andrea, Yeah, thank you,
