Okay, so I see this story about hotels changing. And I'm like, what? So the hotels now, they're talking about going for a new minimalist look. No desks, closets, just beds, and a little place here. Young travelers, hotels note, just want to clean an efficient space to stay. They spend less time in rooms and like to socialize and work in vibrant lobbies with a sense of community. So carpets are being replaced by easy-to-clean laminate floors. Tubbs are being ripped out in favor of glass showers, and instead of working at a desk,

guests are increasingly expected to use glorified windowsills or oversized TV trays. If those flexible work spaces aren't conducive to creativity, hotels are hoping to nudge gas to bring their laptops to the lobby where they might buy a glass of wine while typing away. Shut up. If I wanted to do that, I go camping with my wife and my son. I go camping. No.

Okay? That is not even a one-star. Anything below two-star, that's camping. So right there, what I just said to you, that's camping. I'm sorry. Stop it. Now, I do remember being on a trip and needing internet across the U.S. We were driving, where the heck were we driving from?

I don't remember. But I know I had, you know, obviously, I mean, I use, you know, the internet every day of my life. And I had work to do. So the rooms, I got news for you. A lot of hotels across the country that's claiming. to have Wi-Fi, don't. Oh, yeah, that's your Wi-Fi. You should be able to get the Wi-Fi.

We're going to put you in the back building in room 832. Good luck connecting to the Wi-Fi, but you have it. So I went to the lobbies of all these hotels where we were driving across the country. Middle of the night, I didn't go down to be with, enjoy the company of a bunch of people and drink wine. and surf the internet. I wanted to work. So I went down in the middle of the night. Well, it was just, I mean, nobody is down there.

But the Wi-Fi works great in the front lobby by the front desks. Huh. Surprise. The Wi-Fi works great by where all the workers are. Huh. So I just, I sat there and worked, you know, all these hotels in the lobby, just working. I would have much rather been in my room in a comfortable. chair, not at a TV tray or on a windowsill.

Okay. So you hotels, maybe you're owned by the new airlines that want seats to be smaller, or maybe we use just bar stool seats on airlines because they want to jam, pack us in. So maybe your hotel rooms, oh, you know what we can do. We can make the hotel rooms half the size. and get more guests. Huh. That's a good idea.

That's genius. Now, to do that, we're going to have to say that people want it. So we'll call it minimalists. Yeah, people want minimalists. They want nothing in the rooms. They just want to spend time in the lobby. Yeah, that's what we'll do.

We'll do that. They don't have to stay in the lobby, but since there's nothing in the closet where they're staying, they'll have to come to the lobby. Dear hotels. No. Please. I do not want that.

But it reminded me of a story that just broke the other day of a British man posting on Facebook. His story, his story in staying at the local jailhouse. He was locked up at the police station. And while inside his cell, he took photos. using that electronic device that was not confiscated from him, by the way. So, you know, the police said, well, we're investigating that. It's your fault he had it. You let him in there.

It's his fault? No. He's supposed to say, oh, by the way, hey, you forgot to take my iPad. Here it is. No. But he rated his jail cell. I've given this place four stars. The room was nice.

adding that the minimalistic idea was a nice touch. So then I go to the hotel story that talks about the minimalistic rooms they want us to be in jail cells. They want us to be in jail cells. The police are still a little pissed at Christian for having his iPad in there. But hey, he said

It's the all-day breakfast that lets it down. Apart from the staff is pleasant. Had my own sweet, Roman Butler, who could come with tea in newspapers. Room was nice. The minimalistic idea was a nice touch. It was secure and safe. Quadruple glazing and security door.

Ideal place for winding down after a hard day. I'd definitely come back. Very funny. Very funny. Now, is it a little? it funny? Of course it is. The police don't like it to be funny, but it is. You know it is. Let's look at some headlines, let you know. We talked a little bit about NASA and my man, Scott Kelly, coming back after his year long in space. He is going to retire now. He's saying,

you know what, that year in space did me in. You got to do your test on me, but I'm done. I'm And why not? I mean, really, he's I mean, A, he can travel the world talking about his year in space and having 500 some days in space for the rest of his life.

He's got, and I don't know how much is owned, I'm sure all the pictures are owned by NASA, but the stories in Scott's are all his. It'll be a great book. And we'll try to talk to him on this show as well because it will be fascinating. I would love to interview Scott

and find out some inside stories of his year in space. It'd be fun to talk to him. We have the new NASA study, speaking of NASA, that undercuts the EPA, finds fracking not to blame for increased methane emissions. Ah, big surprise. Marco Rubio hit it out of the park on the climate change at the debate the other night. Good for him.

Good for him. Okay. You've got Peru. Yes, we're marching. We've got the Middle East. East all on fire. Seriously, the Middle East is big time on fire. This is how they're selling this as a good thing, but I take it another way.

I know it's a surprise. I saw the headline of our military going back to using Vietnam-era planes to fight ISIS. And they're selling that as a good thing because, you know, It's a good way for them to be more direct hits. Perhaps, I don't know, we use some of the modern equipment we have. And I don't know. Not bring on a retirement. The Vietnam War planes.

Come on. Stop it. Stop it. But not only are we protesting in the Middle East, we're protesting in Europe with the immigration problems. Angela Merkel is probably on her way out. She's doomed. I don't know how she can stay in office, but she may find a way. We are protesting here in the U.S.

Yay! Yay! And now, you know, we've talked about South America, so great. Peru is marching. They're marching in Brazil. They're pissed. Ecuador has been close to on fire for a while. I'd like to know how Brazil is going to make it to the Olympics.

We may have to delve into the Olympics next week and see exactly how they're doing on that because if you were planning on going to Brazil for the Olympics, you may think, you know what, let's go somewhere else. and maybe watch the Olympics on TV. And we'll just let NBC show me all that's going on there. And I'll stay here. We'll let them worry about that.

Right? Yes, of course. And Venezuela, I mean, they're out of food and protesting in Venezuela. So good. Yes. So we don't want to, you know, don't feel special that we're protesting here in the U.S. because other socialist countries, I mean other countries are protesting as well. So that's good.

That's really good. And of course you have the Breitbart spokesman and more Trump in the news just because of this Breitbart spokesman who was grabbed and bruised from the manager of Trump Lewandowski. And now she's, you know, she's filed a police report. and Breitbart is trying to back up Trump and then they get caught in a lie and there are people who quit or get fired and it's all a mess. It's all a mess.

This is what you get. Oh, this is what you get. This is what you get when you first try to deceive, right? Oh, what a wicked web we weave when first we try to deceive. Yes. That's what you get there, Trump, Bart. Live with it.

Live with it. It's what happens. And, of course, yesterday, 70s band Emerson, Laken Palmer. Keith Emerson died. We had reports that Keith died on Friday. Rest in peace, Keith. But we're getting reports today that he may have killed himself. So another tortured rock musician can't live anymore on earth and has to kill themselves.

sad, very sad. And the guy, you'd think, had everything, right? I mean, he toured the world, he was creating music. Not only was he creating things from his old band, he was creating new stuff, he was creating symphonies, he was doing film, and yet it wasn't enough, he couldn't, he struggled through it all. I wish that people who were struggling like that would get help. there's no need for them to end their life when they had so much to give.

And don't forget, 2 a.m. 2 a.m. tonight or tomorrow morning, technically tomorrow morning. You have to stay up until then because it's time change weekend. And it's spring, so you spring ahead. So at 2 a.m., move everything to 3 a.m. and you can't do it before. It's a law. And so you may have the time police come to your house if you do it earlier. If they come to your house and find out that you've set the clocks ahead before 2 a.m.

Oh, my gosh, do I feel sorry for you? This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network. The experts at web.com want to bill your business a successful website for free.
