Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the city that changes the world, Pierce Rose with
three things you need to know for your Wednesday. Rose
you have for US Southwest bags front fly free policy
is ending today.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Such a bummer. So it's been around for more than
fifty years.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
So starting today, the first checked bag will cost you
thirty five dollars, the second will be forty five dollars,
and there will be weight and size limits.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Now there are some exceptions.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
So like Business Select Choice Extra and A List Preferred
customers are still going to get two free checked bags,
A Lists and Chase Rapid Reward credit card members are
getting one free checked bag.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
And by the way, this new.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
Fee only applies to Southwest flights book today and after,
so if you already have a flight book you're good.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
But those tickets starting today will be the you have
to pay bum bummer.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
So starting today as well, you will be able to
tap in and out of the metrorail system using a
credit card. Metro GM Rainy Clark is going to announce
Tap Ride Go at Dulles Airport this morning, so the
system will debut at all ninety eight metro rail stations
today and it will roll out to buses in Metro
parking facilities. Later, now, I will say, you do need

(01:15):
to use the same card to tap in and.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Out at the gates, so just keep that in mind.
Don't think you can like switch the cards.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
And according to a new study, Maryland has been named
the number one state that swears the most. Hey, I
was like.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Baltimore County, Baby, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
Know, no, literally, Baltimore is the city that swears the most.
So the study track the number of swearwords posted on
ex Maryland ranked number one. Baltimore, Maryland is the city
that swears the most.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Virginia came in at number four. And if you're wondering.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Who swears, the lease at South Dakota, Okay and Lexington,
Kentucky is a city that swears the least.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I thought that was interesting. I'm rouse. Those are the
three things you need to know for the day.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
Thank you, Rose, You're welcome. This kind of blew in
mind this morning too. New research shows you can catch
your partner's depression through kissing.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Don't say it's not cute, things like oh, let's.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Share everything, including my mental health.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
So they're it's kind of talking about it. It's like
the early stage, they say depression anxiety can spread between
couples through shared mouth bacteria.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
That's fascinating through the bacteria.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, they say healthy spouss showed increase mental health symptoms
after the six months of being with a depressed partner. Okay,
so they say women appear more susceptible to bacteria transmission.
Uh huh, okay they could. They say it could change
how they treat mental health and relationships. Mean health care
providers mainly consider treating both partners as a unit rather
than focusing on the individual.

Speaker 4 (02:43):
I feel like that's been like the thing with like
I don't know, just like health in generally, like at
least that's like what my doctor said, what do you
make sure I don't know.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
She just said that.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
She's like, oh, like new studies come out that we
now have to treat both partners for something that's like
not even like that that's not an infection. It's just
literally just like your mental health.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
It does make sense. I suppose, like if you're stressed
out and your body releases as a cortosos things a
stress hormone, that it makes sense you would transmit. They
said that too, with like not to get too gross,
like sometimes with like meat products that the animal was
stressed when it passed, like, it tastes different than an
animal that wasn't, because like, but it kind of makes sense.
So this new study of couples and iran found that

(03:21):
when one spouse suffers some depression and anxiety, their partner's
oral bacteria actually mirrors theirs, and the microbes shift, so
the healthy partner's mood and sleep pattern shift as well.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
That's wild.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
And then you're already if they're already like that and
you're around them, so then you're just like their energy
in generals. Yeah, kind of wow, So it's like a
double whammy.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
I mean, I guess it makes sense. Listen, I've watched
Bith not a science guy, so I'm pretty verse on science.
But yeah, yeah, that's kind of crazy.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, you go intern in your morna show on iHeartRadio.
