Shocking Arrests and Travel Benefits: Current Events Explored

Can traveling really slow down the aging process? Join us on a journey through a poignant reflection on a recent Ohio trip, where nostalgia from a high school reunion collides with life choices, such as a decision to join the Navy. We share a couple of captivating documentary recommendations that pulled at our heartstrings: "Into the Fire" on Netflix, which follows a mother's relentless pursuit to locate her missing adopted daughter, and "Woman in Gold," the riveting true story of reclaiming stolen artwork from the Nazis. Our discussion on historical atrocities steers us towards another powerful film, "Genocide," narrated by Elizabeth Taylor and Orson Welles, which delves into the horrors faced by the Jewish people during the Holocaust. 

From gripping documentary stories to jaw-dropping current events, we then turn our attention to the shocking arrest of Sean Diddy Combs by Homeland Security over a federal sex trafficking investigation. What could this mean for his future? We ponder the implications and the role of Homeland Security in such cases. On a lighter note, we dissect a fascinating study from Edith Cowan University that suggests traveling can enhance both physical and mental well-being and potentially slow aging. Skeptical yet intrigued, we share our thoughts and ask for your favorite vacation destinations. Plus, we're planning a special birthday celebration halfway between Ohio and Alabama—can you help us with a fun and budget-friendly spot?

Oh, hello and good morning. It's Tuesday, but it feels like a Monday for me, after having a four-day weekend where we traveled to Ohio, where I was able to visit, with my sister and her girls, my nieces and my grandniece and go to a high school reunion. I have some mixed feelings about that, the high school reunion. I don't know why I decided to go to this one, but I did and it was fun. It was fun, but I think I had romanticized a lot of it and you know, sometimes I wish that I had stayed there in West Portsmouth and stayed there and I don't know. But it wasn't meant to be and I think if I had stayed there I would be in trouble today, if you know what I'm talking about. It would not been. It would. I would not have turned out well if I had stayed there in West Portsmouth, ohio. My mentality at the time was not where it should have been, I suppose, wasn't mature, it wasn't developed and I would have made some stupid ass decisions, probably. So instead I joined the Navy and got out of town, still, made some stupid decisions, but eventually started making good ones. I did not mean to go off into that little rabbit hole. What I wanted to talk to you. I have three topics. We'll get to those in a minute. I put them out on X, but I have two recommendations for you to watch. One of them is a Netflix documentary and it's called Into the Fire. Oh my gosh, I think it's called Into the Fire Something.

Speaker 1: 2:17

A daughter missing, something, daughter stores I don't know, I can't remember the exact title of it, but it's on Netflix. It's like number three, it's a two-parter, and it's about this woman who gave up her daughter for adoption when she was like 16, 17 years old and, uh, then, like several years later, 25 years later, something like that, she gets a letter from the adoption agency saying that her biological daughter has gone missing and they, in order to look for her, they need some DNA From the biological mother. So this adoption agency tracked her down and come to find out. Oh my gosh, you just have to watch it. You have to watch it. This woman goes on a man, she goes on a mission, and the story that unfolds About the daughter, the adoptive family oh my gosh, you've got to watch it. Okay now the second one is an older. It's not old.

Speaker 1: 3:19

It's not an old movie, but it's been on Netflix for a long time and I keep, I kept skipping it over, skipping over, skipping over, skipping over it. Well, last night I finally decided to watch it, and it's called Woman in Gold and it tells the story of a true life story of a woman who had to leave Austria when the Nazis took over and they, the Nazis, came in and took all the artwork off of this family's house, and so Austria had it all this time in their gallery, and so she fights to get the artwork back, and it's a really great story. I think it has Ryan Reynolds in it I think that's him and it has Helen Mirren Absolutely wonderful. Now, as I was watching this movie though, I remember seeing these scenes before, but in a different movie, so I can't remember where, what movie, I saw this in Maybe it was Schindler's List, perhaps I'm not sure, which makes me think I want to watch Schindler's List again, which I think I will because, oh my gosh, I watched Schindler's List when it first came out, so I need to watch that again and I don't know what it is about that particular event in history, but I am just fascinated by that and I feel like I need to soak it up and learn all that I can. It just that particular event just draws me. I don't. I just, you know, with the Nazis and the Jewish people, it just I cannot believe. I mean, I believe it, but it's just horrendous to believe that that actually happened and therefore I just feel like I need to learn all that I can about it.

Speaker 1: 5:06

Now, if you another another thing I would recommend is another documentary is called Genocide and it is narrated by Elizabeth Taylor and Orson Welles. Now, don't let the name Elizabeth Taylor throw you off. You know, you think Elizabeth Taylor, you think of Glitz and Glam, right? Well, this is like I said. This is a documentary. Elizabeth Taylor doesn't make an appearance, she just narrates some of it and Orson Welles narrates some of it, and they have actual footage of what these monsters did to the Jewish people. And I just sat there with my mouth hung open. I could not believe it. They have actual footage where they filmed themselves doing this lining Jewish people up, stripped naked, lining them up in rows, walking out to this field to a ditch and then shooting them dead and they fall into this ditch. They showed it. You have to watch it. It's called genocide. You have to watch that documentary.

Speaker 1: 6:12

Oh my gosh, it is horrific what happened to these people, and people, I think, are forgetting forgetting just like they're forgetting-11. Or the people talk about conspiracy theories. I, I can't. I can't with the conspiracy theories on 9-11. I'm not there yet.

Speaker 1: 6:31

All right, I got a little off track there, but we are going to move on to my topics that I put out on x. Let's see. Let's go over here. Profile. I have three topics one, two, three, four topics. Excuse me, we're going to start with the rudest city in the US. Might not be where you think it is and it's from a survey. Now, I have not read any of stories. I just plucked them out because I thought their headlines were fascinating, so we're going to read them together.

Speaker 1: 7:00

When it comes to impolite places in the US, the panhandle is a is like a giant middle finger. The Big Apple has a reputation for rudeness, but it but is it really the most impolite city in the US? Not, according to a recent survey which found that Miami Florida well, that's not the panhandle takes the cake when it comes to having a discourteous populace Well, miami is not the panhandle, okay. The study conducted by language learning platform Preply found the magic city was the rudest in 2024, with locals ranking their fellow residents a whopping 9.88 out of 10 on the impudent scale. This was based on a variety of factors, including lack of awareness in public noises, in shared places, places and rudeness to service staff. Don't be rude to the service staff, never do that. Coming in second and third were philadelphia and tampa, florida. Okay, uh, so if you're wow, you can go finish. Oh, there's a full list of 2024. You can go read that. It's out on my x file if you would like to finish that.

Speaker 1: 8:19

Next up, women are using the 666 dating rule to find the perfect man, but is it hurting their chance at finding love? Yes, women do not do this. This is ridiculous. People are just now discovering what dating profiles with 666 mean. No, it's not a satanic. Yes, it is, but could lead you to a devilish eligible bachelor. The 666 rules refer to men who are six foot tall, have a six pack abs and make over six figures. Women, this is unrealistic. And two, you do not want this type of man because if he has six pack ab, he's going to be spending way too much at the gym and he loves him. I mean, there's nothing wrong with being fit. Okay, trust me, nothing. You do want a healthy man, okay, but if he no, and a six-figure income? Who has a six-figure income? Am I missing something? Am I missing something I don't want? He's going to be working too hard. He's going to spend all of his time in the gym. He's self-centered and self-indulgent. If you ask me, you do not want that type of man. No, I didn't even finish reading the article. So if you would like to, you know where it is.

Speaker 1: 9:34

Sean Diddy Combs arrested at NYC Hotel by Homeland Security. Can they do that? I didn't know they could arrest people. I guess they can. Homeland Security amid sex trafficking investigation. Now, remember, several months ago his house was raided, so let's see what they have discovered.

Speaker 1: 9:53

Embattled rapper and hip-hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs was arrested at New York City Hotel Monday night amid a federal sex trafficking investigation. Officials said said the fallen star, 54 years old, voluntarily traveled to the big apple in anticipation of his arrest on federal charges stemming from a grand jury indictment. According to prosecutors and sources, oh combs was photographed walking through the manhattan with his son, christian King Combs, earlier in the night, was taken into custody at the Park Hyatt, new York, by Homeland Security Investigations, which typically handles sex trafficking probes, the sources say, okay, well, let's get down to the meat and potatoes, shall we? It was not immediately clear Monday what charges Combs is facing. He is expected to be arraigned at manhattan federal court tuesday morning, that's this morning, at which point the indictment with the charges against him will be unsealed.

Speaker 1: 10:49

So what, what did they do? Did they arrest him and then he make bail and get out and he has to show up? I don't know why. I don't understand this. Or did they keep him overnight? How does that work? If anybody, please let me know, you can go finish reading that. I'm not going to get all into it. There's a long article, you can do that.

Speaker 1: 11:08

Okay, the next one. Oh, here's a great story to end with the best excuse to take a vacation. Study reveals how travel slows aging Really. I would like to know how this works. Uh-oh, I lost my spot. Let me go find it again because we need to read this story from the New York Post. All right, here we go. I knew there was a reason I like traveling, dying to book your next trip, then go ahead and live a little.

Speaker 1: 11:38

Traveling can delay the aging process and improve physical and mental health. A new study published in the journal of travel research found some might say this, some may say no. Some find it stressful to travel, so I would think if you were stressed, it would speed up the aging process. So let's continue on. Researchers at edith co Cohen University in Australia conducted the study believed to be the first ever that applied the theory of entropy what I don't know. Entropy the general trend of the universe towards death and disorder to tourism. What did I just freaking read? Let's read this again. Let's read this again.

Speaker 1: 12:19

Researchers at ECU in Australia conducted the study believed to be the first ever that applied the theory of entropy. E-n-t-r-o-p-y the general trend of the universe towards death and disorder to tourism. What in the world? All right? Aging as a process is irreversible. While it can't be stopped, it can be slowed down. Somebody says this. Phd person.

Speaker 1: 12:52

The team discovered that the positive physical and mental health benefits of traveling, such as exercising and relaxing, do help the body slow the signs of aging. Did you know that you can exercise and relax without going on vacation? Did you know that you could do that, yes, without spending all kinds of money to go on vacation? This is frivolous, okay, not that there's anything wrong with traveling and the result can last much longer than your tan will. Trips that include active experiences like hiking or swimming encourage people to get moving and enjoy the many well-known benefits of exercise. You can hike and swim in your own hometown. Okay, I'm sorry, this is silly. This is just silliness. You can go finish reading that. I'm not going to read anymore.

Speaker 1: 13:38

I hope you've enjoyed this episode, but we do need a question of the day. Well, I don't know if this would be the question of the day. I am going to ask this question. I need your input.

So that's one thing, but let's go on to the question of the day. Oh, my gosh, one more thing before we get to the question of the day.
