Kenny G, you going to play some music? 00:11.448 --> 00:12.228 Maybe a little later. 00:12.248 --> 00:14.569 I think I forgot my guitar at the show.   00:14.810 --> 00:16.230 Is Kenny G your real name?   00:17.231 --> 00:17.891 Close enough.   00:19.712 --> 00:20.293 That's right, guys.   00:20.833 --> 00:29.518 Kenny G's been on our podcast before on a different topic, but he reached out to me and said, hey, I want to talk about things people should know while traveling.   00:30.359 --> 00:30.519 And   00:31.329 --> 00:47.931 I kind of added because I know you're going to end up talking about this like situational awareness, something that has really struck me in the last couple of years that I've been on the road is so I was driving to Texas and you know how those alerts come over your phone that everybody turns off because they're annoying.   00:47.952 --> 00:48.873 Yep.   00:49.721 --> 00:51.261 Okay, so one of those alerts came over my phone.   00:51.301 --> 00:53.022 I'm like, I have Amber Alerts.   00:53.302 --> 00:53.742 Shut off.   00:53.782 --> 00:54.442 Like, what's up?   00:54.622 --> 00:56.982 And a convict had escaped prison.   00:57.022 --> 01:00.963 So it was a different kind of alert.   01:01.383 --> 01:03.223 And he had taken people hostage.   01:04.364 --> 01:07.384 And they said, this is going on in this area.   01:07.404 --> 01:14.246 Well, I had made the critical error of following my GPS instead of my map to get around, to route around a traffic issue.   01:14.886 --> 01:16.446 So I didn't actually know where I was.   01:18.511 --> 01:23.636 And so when it said where it was, I didn't know where I where I was, where it was in relationship to that.   01:23.756 --> 01:30.864 And luckily, I had more than half a tank because I usually top off about every half tank when I'm driving somewhere long distance.   01:31.364 --> 01:33.206 And I got all the way to my destination.   01:33.226 --> 01:35.829 And it turned out I was within a couple of miles.   01:36.029 --> 01:41.795 And the guy ended up taking a family hostage, driving to Ohio and killing them before he was caught.   01:42.905 --> 01:45.507 And so that's what I mean by situational aware
