1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Moments that defined the year. 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 2: This is the best of Elvis Duran in the Morning Show. 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 1: I've been amazed at this for years. If you're familiar 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: with the New York City, New Jersey area, you know 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: that there's just a river, just a little river, between 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: New York City and the state of New Jersey, right 7 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: the Hudson River. I met people when I first moved 8 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: to New York thirty something years ago who lived in 9 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: Jersey City, right on the water, looking at Manhattan, who 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 1: had had not been into Manhattan over twenty years. So 11 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: they just said they we don't need to go over there. 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: Iverythan we need is right here on this side of 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: the river in Jersey. We don't need New York City. 14 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,159 Speaker 1: New York City is at paying the ass, it's dirty, whatever, 15 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: And I was always amazed at that. I read this 16 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: this morning that five percent of American adults have never 17 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: visited another US state. 18 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 3: Wow, okay, wow. 19 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, And I guess, well, okay, that means ninety five 20 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: percent have, which is the major already, of course, but 21 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,840 Speaker 1: five percent is still a lot of people who, forever reason, 22 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: whatever reason, have not left the state. And so I'm like, well, 23 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: why is that? So I started reading deeper. Sixteen percent 24 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: of Americans adults they've been to thirty or more states. 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,240 Speaker 1: Have you ever done the state thing where you yes, 26 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: see how many states you've been to? Yes? I love that? 27 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: They say it's most people twenty percent. Anyway, a lot 28 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: of people say it's very important to visit a large 29 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: number of number of states within their lifetime. Thirty five 30 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: percent say it's somewhat important. So there are people who 31 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: are really into travel getting out. The most visited states are, 32 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 1: of course, Florida, New York, Texas, and California. The least 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: where Alaska, North Dakota, Vermont, and Montana. 34 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 2: Alaska should be high on the list that you need 35 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: to go to Alaska, it is so beautiful, But. 36 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: Look at that list. The least visited states are Alaska, 37 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: in Vermont and Montana, three. 38 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 3: Of the most beautiful. 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, the most beautiful states. Maybe it's because no one's visiting. 40 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 3: Is incredible too. 41 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: People are keeping it clean. 42 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: All those people coming to New York beat the hell 43 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,160 Speaker 1: out of us. It's okay. I hear awesome things about 44 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: Maine and it's so close and I've never been, so 45 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and do a trip to Maine. Who's in. 46 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: I'm in. I'd love to go. And this is another 47 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: thing about the Northeast. When I moved from Texas, where 48 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: you know you have to get in your car and 49 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: drive for four hours is to get to your bathroom. 50 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: Because it's all spread out in the Northeast. You can 51 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 1: be on a train from Philly to New York or 52 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: New York Philly and you're you're in this incredible, historically 53 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: significant city in an hour. Yeah, and I know many 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: people who've never been to Philly living in New York 55 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: and Philadelphia, people who never come to New York. I'd 56 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: be going to Boston. I'd be going going up the 57 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: East coast to New England. You know, there's Washington, d C. 58 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 1: All the most interesting, some of the most interesting cities 59 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: in the country are within an hour and a half 60 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: or two hours of each other. Yeah, people aren't going. 61 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 3: I think we should stop telling people about Montana. It's 62 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 3: just so perfect. I don't want it to get invaded. 63 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 3: That's where Glacier National Park is. 64 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: I know there's a lot to see that so but 65 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: as I said, maybe they are still still pristine and 66 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 1: beautiful because no one goes well, a lot of people 67 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: do go, don't get me wrong, but not like New York. 68 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: In California and Florida, it's scary, what tough, of what? 69 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: Well, it's just so there's so much to see in 70 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 3: the world and all I want to do is travel 71 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 3: and see all of it. And then I look at 72 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 3: what tourism is doing to like so many of these places, 73 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 3: and I think, I don't want to go there. 74 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: But you're not doing it. 75 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 2: You're you respect where you go, so you're different. 76 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: Oh, yes, that is it. But you see, for instance, 77 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: in Spain, they have signs up, they have graffiti on 78 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: the wall saying Americans go away, Travelers go away. We 79 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: don't want tourists because tourism is on their nerves. People 80 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: that live there, they think that there their way of 81 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: living is being encroached by you know, crazy Americans. 82 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 2: But I feel like a lot of places wouldn't survive 83 00:03:58,520 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 2: without the tourism. 84 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 3: They will know, of course not, they wouldn't remember in 85 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: Spain when they had the score guns, they were shooting 86 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 3: everybody with get out of here, Taurus. 87 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: It's true. So yeah, we encourage if you can go 88 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: to one of these states that's so pristine, will ruin 89 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: them head on over. Hey, you made an announcement a 90 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: few moments ago, Danielle about FIFA. Yes, and there was 91 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: a little tweak. 92 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: Yes. 93 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: What's happening is, by the way, our iHeartRadio partner's Global Citizen. 94 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: Along with FIFA, they've announced that Jay Balvin, Dojakat and 95 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,239 Speaker 1: Thames will headline the first ever FIFA Club World Cup 96 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: halftime show.
