Something You Should Know sponsors and ad reads

Now I've got over 20 things in my closet from Quince, and my wife started ordering clothes, and my son. Now every time one of us is wearing something we really like, the other one will ask, is that from Quince? And most of the time, it's from Quince. What surprised me most is these aren't clothes you save for special occasions. They're the ones you reach for all the time. The fit is great, the quality is outstanding, and well, they just hold up. And then you find out why the prices are so reasonable. You see, Quince works directly with ethical factories and cuts out the middlemen, so you're paying for premium materials instead of expensive brand markups. That's why they can offer everything from organic cotton tees to premium denim and Mongolian cashmere at prices that really surprise me. Upgrade your everyday.

One thing I discovered after shopping on Wayfair is that it's almost impossible to stop at just one thing. I went there thinking, well, I might order a thing or two for the house, and instead I just kept finding things that we actually need. I replaced the old cover on my gas grill that's been sitting out in the California sun for years and looked horrible. I picked up some new cutting boards for the kitchen because the old ones looked horrible. And my son found a new nightstand for his room. I even grabbed some new grilling tools. None of it was anything I went there looking for. I just kept scrolling and thinking, oh, we could use that. What impressed me was the quality. The products feel solid, and everything arrived quickly, and I can see why Wayfair has Wayfair Verified, where products are hand-vetted for quality before they make the cut.

shopify.com/realm. Something you should know. Fascinating intel. The world's top experts and practical advice you can use in your life. Today, Something You Should Know with Mike Carruthers. So, I'm sure that you're a fabulous driver, but there are a few things you could do that would make you an even more fabulous driver. So, we're going to start with those today on this episode of Something You Should Know. Hi, I'm Mike Carruthers. Thank you for joining me today. So, here are a few things that will make you a better driver and a little safer on the road. The first is to not grip the steering wheel at 10 and 2. That was the old advice. Today, safety experts recommend putting your hands at 9 and 3. It gives you better control during emergency maneuvers and reduces the risk of arm injuries if the airbag deploys. Look farther ahead than you think you need to. Good drivers don't stare at the bumper of the car in front of them. They continuously scan 15 to 20 seconds down the road. Seeing potential problems early gives your brain extra time to react, making sudden braking and swerving much less likely. Keep more distance than you feel is necessary. The old one-car-length rule really isn't enough. Safety experts recommend at least a four-second following distance in normal conditions, and even more in rain or darkness. It dramatically increases the odds that you'll avoid a rear-end collision. And if oncoming headlights are blinding you at night, don't stare into them. Instead, shift your gaze towards the right edge of your lane, using your peripheral vision to stay on course. The Auto Club says this simple habit can reduce the temporary blindness caused by today's brighter LED headlights. And that is something you should know.

One thing I love about summer is how simple getting dressed becomes. And I've noticed something kind of funny. When I'm getting ready in the morning, I keep looking for the same shirt. Not because I plan to wear it. It's just the one I want. For me, that's my quince linen shirt. It's light. It's breathable. It looks good without trying too hard. And somehow it works, whether I'm meeting someone for lunch or just running errands. That's when you know you've bought something good, when you stop thinking about it and you just reach for it. I have several quince pieces now, and they're all like that. Their t-shirts are incredibly soft, the linen is perfect for the summer heat, and when the evening cools off, their lightweight cotton sweaters are exactly right. And they look great. What also impressed me is that Quince sells everything for 50 to 80 percent less than similar brands because they work directly with ethical factories and skip the middleman. So you're paying for the quality, not the middleman, not somebody else's marketing budget. And it isn't just clothing anymore. We've picked up things for the house and for travel too, and the quality is consistently excellent. Make your summer wardrobe easier.
