Speaker 1 (00:00):
Candle in the wind. It's WSRZ. Thank you for listening.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Speaking of Elton John. Three.
Speaker 1 (00:08):
Lame radio segway.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Elton John is embracing technology, you guys. He is planning
a Vegas event. hologram residency oh come on i know
i thought he already finished touring and so when i
saw this headline i was like he's going to vegas
oh his hologram will be they're setting it up now
he said it's really strange but it's going to be amazing.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
So he pre-records a concert and they capture whatever they
can and then it is a hologram.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
After that he said it's a multi-million dollar deal immersive
hologram residency at the new hard rock hotel in vegas
and it's supposed to open and start next year.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
That better be a discounted ticket because it's like going
to see him.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
A movie.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
At the movies, yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
That's absolutely right. He said he was talking about it
in 2018, I guess, and it said it's spooky. Who knows?
Maybe I'll go broke and they'll put me back on stage.
But I still think it's a little bit freaky. I
don't think he's going broke anytime soon. Absolutely not. So again,
like you said- Do you fly out there to go
see that? Probably not. No. But if you're there, you
(01:19):
buy a ticket. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
It's kind of like watching a prerecorded version. And I'm
sure tickets will be a lot cheaper than... Sir Elton
John live. And it'd be a cool take, but nowhere
close to the real thing.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Absolutely not. So there you go. Elton John hologram coming soon.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Coming soon. That could only be said in 2026. Man,
oh man.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
A lot happened over the weekend. My block almost blew
up on the 4th of July. So much for the
burn ban. People were going crazy. But there was also
a wedding over the weekend. And people were going crazy.
This is a couple a lot of people haven't heard of.
A small couple. I think it was a small intimate
(02:02):
wedding too. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
The amount of videos I've seen about how the streets
were shut down in New York City all over trying
to get people to Madison Square Garden. It's super secret
about no phones inside, etc., But it is absolutely bonkers
what they pulled off changing that place. From a stadium,
an indoor stadium to a wedding venue.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
A wedding venue. That's a lot of lattice and flowers.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And pipe and draping is what that's called.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Now, there's been a little blowback considering what's happening and,
you know, the state of, you know, there's heat waves.
There's the Fourth of July. There's the World Cup. And
it's like, we're going to throw this into the mix.
But they did something cool, you said, as far as donations.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That's right. The couple donated $ 26 million in charities on
their wedding day. And for example, Feeding America, ASPCA, Dolly
Parton's Imagination Library, New York Cares, and a bunch of others, obviously.
I saw Dolly Parton has a video thanking them for
(03:10):
$ 2 million to her library fund.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
So did they have, they must have had people like donating,
if you're coming in lieu of gifts, do this.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Nope, that's from them.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
From them, they gave the gifts and there was a
strict no gift rule. Policy for all attendees.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Even donations. So pretty awesome. And did you see who
married them?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
What you told me earlier this morning, a guy that
I didn't know he officiated weddings.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I think he probably got ordained for this. Adam Sandler
married them. Stevie Nicks performed at the wedding and Paul
McCartney performed at the reception.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
So they got a bunch of no names for their entertainment.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I just can't imagine living in that stratosphere.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Where you're like, yeah, whatever, Beatles gonna play our reception,
no big deal.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Yeah, no big deal.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Here is the cast of Good Morning America talking about
what they saw inside.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Inside the garden, it was just so beautiful. And it's
hard to imagine that a place that big And a
wedding with such stars could feel so personal and so intimate.
Because they had their neighbors, their high school friends. It
was like any wedding that you would attend.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It was their dream wedding. Can you imagine getting that invite?
Or if you're on a list that should have not
getting the invite.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs., announcing them for the first time, Mr.
and Mrs.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Swift. There you go, yes.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
They have to take that.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
I mean, come on. Look at this.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Did you know this Friday is an actual fry day?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Ooh, like National Friday?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
National Friday is Friday, and McDonald's is giving away free fries.
It's to their reward members, a free medium order of fries.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
And I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Let me guess.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Medium's never big enough for me. I always go for
the large.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Do you have to do something through their app?
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Through the app.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I knew it.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
At participating locations. It's kind of like good news, bad news.
You hear this good news.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Free fries.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
I long for the day of just walking in going,
I'd like to collect my free fries, please. However, here's
a number that's going to blow your mind. McDonald's says
it serves about 3.6 billion orders.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Not fries. Orders of fries.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
In each year, so 3.6 billion orders of fries each year.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So take the average amount of fries in each order.
And start multiplying. That's insane. Oh my gosh, what a stat. Okay,
so this Friday, I just looked it up. That is
July 10th.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Yep. Free fries if you buy something through the app.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
That's right. And it has to be with any dollar
purchase or more.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Cool.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
So there you go.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I will say, I do have the app. I used
to delete it after I would use it, but now
I keep it on my phone. It is very handy.
I'm just telling you, it's one that's worth it. I
don't like how you have to have an app for
every store and everything you use in your life.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
You have one for Dunkin' too, right?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Of course. I like the Dunkin' one because then you
can pre-order. And by the time you pull up to
the store, boom, they have their hand out the window.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Roll right through.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
They're ready to go. So there you go. You have
been warned.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
And enjoy right here with WSRZ.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
All right, David. This weekend, I... Found something thanks to
a friend. Her name's Chloe. She's a big reader. She's
on like 53 books already this year.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
You know what's weird is since my vacation, you know,
you read on vacation sometimes if it's a relaxing one.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
I've been reading a lot since then too.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Well, I was clued into our public library system. I
happen to be in Manatee County. So I went to
their website. She's like, Meredith, why are you buying all
these audio books and buying all this stuff? You can
get so much for free through your library. I'm like, what?
So I went online, got a library card. They gave
(07:21):
me a temporary number. I go to the library website.
Beautiful resources. I download an app called Libby as in library. Sure.
Add your library card that I just got three seconds ago. Boom.
Get on the list. I start going through all the
audio books. Hold, hold, hold. I'm putting these books on hold.
And then it tells you exactly where you are in
the waiting list.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You can do it online?
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yep. I've already got three audio books for free. I
was able to cancel all of my subscriptions. Did you
guys know this gold mine is out there? You can literally,
especially if you're an audio book reader. Yeah. But I
am shooketh all of the brand new. They don't just
have old books, David. They have like the brand new stuff.
And I apologize if you guys are like, Is this
(08:03):
your first day on earth? Well, apparently so. I'm shocked.
But I went to Sarasota County. They have the same thing.
It's just not called Libby for the books. It's called
something else.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
That's nuts.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
So Kindle readers. And you can even put books on
hold and then go physically pick them up too if
you like a book book in your hands.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
That is crazy. Isn't that cool? And I haven't thought
of the library in so long.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
The one by my house is so stinking beautiful. They
have classes for 3D printers and laser cutters. I'm like, what?
They have cricket machines so you can do crafts. I'm like,
I've avoided the library my whole life on purpose.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
It is pretty crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
And here it's the mecca of all the things I like.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
They, like iHeartRadio, have kept up with the times and have,
you know, Basically advanced with the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
And now, I mean, I'm a Kindle guy.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
If you say I can go get my scary horror
books at the library.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
By the end of the show, you could have three
in your little queue.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Whoa.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
I'm going to help you during the next commercial break.
But anyway, this is just a public service announcement to
check your local library. And if you don't have a
library card, you can get one, a temporary one, so quick.
And I am thrilled. They even have, I can watch
movies and documentaries on some stuff.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Question. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Am I going to have to relearn the Dewey Decimal System?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Not because you have an app. You don't have to
do that. They'll even have it at the front desk
for you to pick up.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Your local library. Yes, there's an app for that.
Candle in the wind. It's WSRZ. Thank you for listening.
