| 0:11.8 | Welcome to Frequent Myler on the Air with Greg and Nick. I'm Greg. And today we're going to be talking about several topics. We have the Marriott North Island Seychelles, which is a, it's an $8,000 a night island that is now a Marriott property. |
| 0:33.7 | So we're going to talk about that. |
| 0:34.8 | We're going to talk about the American Express War on Gaming, where they've been shutting people down. And we'll transition from that |
| 0:42.7 | to another American Express topic, which is the business platinum card devaluation. |
| 0:49.3 | And finally... Or revaluation. Maybe. And finally finally the uh mint uh coins they're back uh let's talk about |
| 0:59.8 | let's talk about the mint coins and and what's going on there um first uh reader uh comment or review time |
| 1:07.3 | okay drum roll please this is a new regular topic on the blog. First, uh, uh, pop quiz for you, Nick. Okay. Uh-oh. What is the answer to life, the universe, and everything? 42. That's right. That's right. Okay. I've never even seen it. I just had a friend who quoted it a lot. So if there's anyone out there doesn't know what we're talking about the, um, uh, there's a, there's a old, uh, also I think there was a movie and a TV series. Uh, but it all originally came from a radio program, |
| 1:45.1 | which is about the, it's about a alien race that has decided to destroy the earth |
| 1:59.3 | to make way for an intergalactic highway. |
| 2:01.6 | This is sounding like a very different type of podcast. |
| 2:05.5 | You're right. I should get things back on track. |
| 2:08.4 | Anyway, I raised the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, |
| 2:12.9 | because our comment comes from Arthur Dent, Zaffod Beebe, which is two of the names in that Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series. |
| 2:28.5 | The second one is cut off, but anyway, it's Arthur Dent, if I remember right, he has to hitchhike to get off |
| 2:36.5 | of Earth before it's destroyed for the intergalactic highway. And Zaffod, I think, has a couple |
| 2:43.3 | heads. Anyway, it's a great series if you haven't read it. I highly recommend reading the books. |
| 2:53.3 | Arthur Dent Zaffod-Beb says, Nick, can you give more than a hint how to use that |
| 3:00.6 | aspire resort credit even if one doesn't have a stay planned at a resort? |
| 3:06.3 | So let me say, so last time we talked a little bit |
| 3:11.6 | about the Hilton Aspire and that it's possible to get the $250 resort credit even if you don't |
| 3:20.8 | have a stay. And you gave some hints, which I actually thought were pretty darn clear. |
