Speaker 1 (00:19):
It looked like beautiful weather for the bezos wedding, the
Venetian Bach and all that, to some say, delivered a
pitch perfect ad for socialism. It was like Marie Antoinette
at a foam party. Let them eat cake and drink billinis.
I do when I give Bezos credit. He was over
(00:43):
the moon, obviously, and he said this about Venice. It's
an impossible city. It can't exist, and yet here it is.
And that is the truth about that place. Doctor John
Wycoff was in Venice recently with his wife Cindy, and
I missed him by one day when I was there also,
it was very late May and early June. And doctor
(01:04):
John Wycoff the Wycoff Wellness Center and East Lansing on
Michigan Avenue and at Wycoff Wellness dot Com is on
our radio stage right now. Did not get an invitation
to the bezos wedding, but we were there in the
weeks in the lead up. Welcome to the airwaves.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, thank you, Michael. No, I didn't get the invite,
but Venice is a special place.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
What did you think of it? What did you do?
I mean? And it was really hot when I was there,
and you know, you certainly get your steps in in Venice.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Too, no doubt about it. It's beautiful, a lot of people,
so if people are visiting there this summer, really get
your excursions in early, get your sight seeing early. We
spend a lot of time on Morano. I really liked Morano.
My wife's then do laftwork glass beating, and so that
was a little bit more heer scene, not quite as crazy,
(01:55):
but you know, we had a great time and I'm
not sure I need to go back, but it was
enjoyable and I'm glad we were over stuff there.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
If you do go back, there's a hotel called the
Nhmrano Villa on the island of Rano, which was a
glass factory that's been converted into a hotel and I
think Cindy would probably like the cooler heels there and
you could have a nice time without having to move
it around so much. What other impressions you went through
there on a cruise ship, if I'm not mistaken, how
(02:27):
far did the cruise ship have to park from let's say,
Piazza San Marco, and how did they move you around
by boat?
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, we were at ta Choga here, which was probably
a thirty minute bus ride to get on a boat
and then the boat another twenty to thirty minutes to
get is to downtown Venice the Square. But two days
there and then two nights we were on an island,
(02:57):
the JW. Marriott, and that as a fadulous place too,
just beautiful the island with just the Mariotts. They had
taxis that drove right into the hotel via the waterway
and picked you up. You know, you fellows, little Italian
wood and shiny crisscraft kindle like vehicles, and that's that
was kind of cool. The you dipped us around to
(03:19):
whatever island we wanted to go to, and for about
twenty year old, you get anywhere you wanted to go.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Yeah, those are the water taxis and you can climb
up and down and in and out. And when you're
riding on one of those through the lagoon or down
the Grand Canal and you're standing there and the wind
is in your face and you're looking around at a
place that looks like it's made of frosting, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
It is cool.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And you know how they navigate those things at night,
it's just amazing. It's terrifying, really really just a channel
that marked during the day, but there are no lights
at night. And you know, you got these tilings all
over the place that does make the channel, and yet
these guys to go through these at forty miles an
(04:07):
hour like they're nothing. And the pitch of night so
pitch black of night. It was an experience, but like
I said, Mary was fantastic, and other than the other,
you know, a couple of million people that were there,
it was great.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You know, there is some irony exactly what you experienced.
I experienced when I was back there in the fall
and I get to Marco Polo Airport and it might
surprise some people that you can go by boat from
the airport. In fact, you almost have to to your hotel.
And the guy picks me up late at night and
he starts flying across that lagoon in that boat, and
I can see these big wooden posts that mark the
(04:45):
channel and there are no lights on them, and I
guess he knows where he's going, you know, Like but
it was I was holding my breath and definitely not
relaxed as he zoomed through there. But he got me there,
and that that's one of the things that might surprise people.
I do take your point. It's you know, there is
no off season anymore, though you can try to go
(05:07):
during the holidays maybe and sometimes in the winter it's
a little quieter, but there is no more soft season
and travel since the pandemic. I do want to ask
you the irony of the fact that you have a
boat that you keep in Saga Tuck where very soon
they will have the Venetian Festival. Will will you look
at a little differently now that you've been to Venice.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Well, you know, the Venetian Festival is a lot of fun.
There's not too much Venice in the Venetian Festival. I'm
not sure how they've come up with the but it's
more of just an excuse for, you know, some partying
and drinking and some bands and some little markets to
go on and some fireworks at night. And it's a
(05:53):
good time always the last weekend in July. It's just
been there forever since we've been going, and it runs
two or three days and it's a good time. It
does make the city look a lot like Venice because
there are so darn many people that weekend, but it's
a good time and we're blessed. We have a place
(06:14):
to park, so we can pull in and pretty much
just walk around the towel. At that point in time,
sag attack quite wassable, much like that us, so you
can walk the whole town and a short period of time.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
So did you make it into Harry's Bar? I know,
the newlyweds Bezos and Sanchez closed it down for lunch.
It's a little tiny place anyway, but that's where you
can get yourself a nice twenty five year old bellini.
That's it's about the size of an orange orange orange
juice glass.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
You know, we did not make it. We did have
a quaint little restaurant, some bars that we popped in,
and eateries and drinkeries. They're certainly all over on the island,
and you know, they have a little flavor and each
has a little different characteristic and it was it was enjoyable.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I went out to San Giorgio Island. That's where most
of the festivities were for the wedding. There were a
couple of signs here and there that were I like,
kind of protesting a little bit the wedding. But it's
over now. Everybody survived and we move on. You and
I are going to talk if you don't mind, over
the next few days about different health issues in the summertime,
because you're such a resource for that, and if you
(07:26):
go to the Wycoff Wellness Center you can do that
directly yourself with doctor Wycoff. And not only that, Tomorrow
starts July and that means you're having a sale.
Speaker 2 (07:35):

for the entire month. Twenty percent off all of our

and thank you doctor Wycoff. Here comes the Venetian Festival
from a doctor who was just in Venice. Have you
ever wondered why health insurance costs seem to keep going up?
(09:03):
I was doing some research online and I stumbled upon
some surprising information on Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan's
websitemibluedaily dot com slash affordability. I was surprised to learn
that the cost Blue Cross pays for prescription drugs rose
by a staggering fifteen percent last year. Fifteen percent. That's
five times higher than inflation. It's no wonder healthcare costs
(09:26):
or a concern for so many of us. That's why
Blue Cross, Blue Shield of Michigan is working hard to
help all of us better understand the factors driving up
healthcare costs and sharing what they are doing is a
business to address it because Blue Cross knows that healthcare
is personal and needs to work for everyone, and affordability matters.
So I encourage you to take a minute and check
outmi blue Daily dot com slash affordability and get informed.
(09:50):
You'll be glad you did. It's eye opening information that
can help everyone better understand the complexities of the healthcare
system and its impact on your health insurance costs. Michael
Patrick shields here looking around Dusty Cellar, and I want
to talk to Matt Rhodes because I want to have
a private party event here at Dusty's. What are my options?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
Thanks Michael. Luckily you have many options depending on the
number of guests you plan on hosting.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I'm not sure yet how many Where can we go?
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Well, we have four rooms to choose from, range from
eight guests up to forty two depending occasion. We can
do both stand up cocktail parties, buffets, and multi course dinners.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So the Napa and Tuscan rooms I see here are
for smaller parties, and then you have this Lelandois patio
and the Bordeau room. Those are for the bigger ones.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
That's right, Napa Tuscan for parties of eight to fourteen
and Leilan on Bordeaux for parties up to forty plus guests.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
I'm glad I'm here because i can get my six
for sixty six dollars wine club selections. And then I'm
stopping the wine bar, of course in the tap room
for a bite and a drink.
Speaker 4 (10:47):

for casual find dining in the tap room, our local neighborhood.
