Tampa International Airport just dropped a new rule: pajamas are officially out at the terminal. Kennedy's take? Wear whatever you want, just please, for everyone's sake, shower first. Plus, why are people shaming a woman for buying a $4,500 wedding dress for $100 before she even has a boyfriend? Kennedy breaks down why being a "thrifty bride" is actually a genius financial move.

A snowball fight in Washington Square Park has blown up into a public clash between NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the NYPD. Police unions say officers were “attacked,” while Mamdani insists it was “a snowball fight that got out of hand.” One man has been arrested, escalating tensions in the mayor’s first major test with the department. Tampa International Airport said on social media Thursday that it wanted to ban people from wearing pajamas at the Florida facility. No, it wasn't being serious.

Beat Migs! We go straight to the comments.

Tampa International Airport joked about banning pajamas on flights yesterday and it sparked a debate. Do you think there should be a dress codes for airplanes?

Producer Josh updates us on a theme night for the Atlanta Hawks, puking at work, and a cry for help from the Tampa International Airport.

The media fails to bait another female hockey player, a model claims she's denied health insurance because of her weight, Tampa International Airport tries to sway the dress code, more massive fraud uncovered in Minnesota, Hillary Clinton sat for a closed-door deposition yesterday regarding her connection to Epstein, and coffin meditation is becoming popular in Japan...

CC Sabathia's No. 52 officially getting retired by the Yankees, with the ceremony slated for Saturday, September 26 vs. the Orioles. The guys lay out why CC is an automatic “yes,” why the championship-count argument is lazy, and why being a first-ballot Hall of Famer going in as a Yankee ends the discussion. Calls roll in with pushback, Bernie vs. CC comparisons, and even a detour into whether A-Rod's number should be in the rafters too. From there, the show pivots to the Jets and the nonstop quarterback carousel, including the “bridge QB” debate around Kirk Cousins, what Frank Reich's presence means, and the bigger question Jets fans keep asking: is there finally a real plan, or is it just another year of vibes and wishcasting. More calls hit on roster direction, organizational competence, and who actually has the brighter future right now. And then, out of nowhere, Tampa International Airport becomes the main character, with a viral push to ban pajamas (and allegedly Crocs) from the airport. The guys argue comfort vs. common decency, draw a line between sweatpants and pajama pants, and spiral into the classic department-store holiday photo tradition that somehow involves showing up in matching pajamas. It's a full hour of Yankees pride, Jets anxiety, and one very heated etiquette debate.

On Sunday, July 27, Tampa, Florida, made history by hitting 100 degrees for the first time since record-keeping began in 1890. A day later, the thermometer at Tampa International Airport topped out at 95 degrees in the afternoon, a narrow miss for a second consecutive day of triple-digit heat. For Northern dwellers who dream of sunshine and beaches in the dead of winter, and even Floridians who boast about their heat hardiness, the fact that a Florida city had never officially reached 100 degrees came as a surprise—and for many, disbelief.

When Manatee County got rid of bus fares- ridership went up. And it's not the only place in Tampa Bay where more people started taking the bus after fares went away. Hillsborough County made its most popular bus route, from downtown Tampa to the University of South Florida, free for this year, and ridership is way up. On this episode of Florida Matters, Manatee County Transit Division Manager Kevin Hoyt explains why it makes sense to get more people on the bus, even when they're not collecting fare revenue. And, Streetsblog USA senior editor Kea Wilson talks about how other transit agencies around the US have adopted the fare-free model, and the arguments for and against removing the fare box.  Also, if you've driven the recently reopened Howard Frankland Bridge, you might have noticed it's built higher to withstand storm surge like Tampa Bay experienced during the last hurricane season. WUSF's Sky Lebron caught up with historian Rodney Kite Powell on top of the bridge, before it reopened to traffic. Hear how the original bridge, which opened in 1960, was built for a post-war population boom, much like the remodeled bridge is built to handle traffic for Tampa Bay's current population boom. And you'll get caught up on some of the latest transportation news from around the greater Tampa Bay region. Hear why the cross bay ferry is sailing for the last time, about efforts to ease traffic woes on the dreaded I-4 corridor, and how Tampa International Airport is dealing with animal problems.

In Episode 114 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, Angie Sparks and Mike Zaccheo take listeners behind the scenes of what it's like running a large Facebook community dedicated to points and miles travel. They kick things off with a viral post about Tampa International Airport's humorous rebranding inspired by its iconic flamingo statue, Phoebe. The episode covers major updates in the travel and credit card world, including widely disliked changes to United's credit card portfolio, the return of National Car Rental's One Two Free promo, and various hotel promotions from Hyatt and Accor. Angie shares her recent Atlanta trip booked with points and previews plans for a fall leaf-peeping road trip.The heart of the episode focuses on the daily grind (and occasional chaos) of moderating a massive Facebook group. While most members are helpful and enthusiastic, the hosts explain the challenges of dealing with repeat questions, Facebook's finicky search and tagging systems, and limitations placed by certain banks that restrict how their products can be discussed. They also talk about how the group earns money—mostly through affiliate links and AT201 memberships—and encourage members to support the group by using their links and participating more actively. They wrap up with a reminder not to rely too heavily on autopay and to always double-check credit card payments.Links to Topics DiscussedUnited Airlines Card Portfolio OverhaulNational Card Retnal One, Two, free promotionHyatt 777 Bonus and other current promotionsAccor Live Limitless bonus point promotionWhere to Find Us The Free 110k+ member Award Travel 101 Community.

Airlines and airports are getting ready for Hurricane Milton, a “potentially catastrophic” storm expected to hit southwest Florida on Wednesday, writes Airlines Reporter Meghna Maharishi. Tampa International Airport and Orlando International have announced they plan to suspend operations in anticipation of Hurricane Milton. Several airlines — including American, Delta and United — have issued travel waivers in Florida. Citi analyst Stephen Trent said cancellations from the storm could cause Southwest and Spirit to suffer a major hit to their earnings because of their exposure to Tampa.  Next, new Mandarin Oriental CEO Laurent Kleitman is looking to double the number of properties in the company's portfolio, writes Senior Hospitality Editor Sean O'Neill, who spoke with Kleitman in his first major interview as CEO.  Mandarin Oriental currently manages 41 hotels, but Kleitman says he sees a sweet spot of between 80 and 100 properties for the luxury hotel brand. Kleitman added Mandarin Oriental will focus on key markets where the company doesn't have a presence. He cited Budapest and Rome as locations Mandarin Oriental will expand to.  In addition, Kleitman said growing in the Americas is one of the company's goals. Mandarin Oriental manages only three hotels in the U.S.  Finally, the Skift Travel Health Index for August 2024 reveals that the travel industry is thriving despite concerns about a recession.

Hey Duckies, Your favorite duo is coming to you on location at Tampa International Airport. Nicky Trendz and Manny Oso had a wild weekend and couldn't wait to get home to tell you all about, the Gasparilla Pirate Invasion and the WWR Royal Rumble. While waiting for the flight to arrive on a crisp Monday morning, Nicky asked Manny to explain the details. You'll hear she is full of questions because Manny went alone to this massive event. Wedged in the middle of a sold-out section 314, Manny saw the whole thing go down. The people he met, the force of the crowd, seeing the win go to Cody Rhodes, and of course being there to acknowledge The Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns was all something he couldn't stop talking about. Excuse us while Manny geeks out; Nicky keeps asking! But anyway, you tell us: - Have any Big Event travel plans this year? - What's the furthest you've ever traveled for a Premium Live Event? - Should these guys be whispering? It's an airport! Watch the highlights of the Royal Rumble: https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=Q7EZ1KFwjz7vajKL&v=cOdPKrHNTBU&feature=youtu.be To keep up with the Ducks in charge follow: FB & IG: @Bubblebathstories Nicky Trendz IG: @nickyTRENDZ Manny Oso IG: @gotnotime4diss For official Merch head over to Bubblebathstories.co
