Speaker 2 (00:04):
The University of Pittsburgh student who vanished from spring break
in the Dominican Republic. Now they're saying she may have
gotten caught in a big wave. Her name is tou
Diksha Konanki, twenty years old. She gone to a nightclub
on Wednesday with a group of people and then went
to a puncha Kana beach in the wee hours of Thursday.
(00:25):
According to ABC, while others in the group returned to
their hotel just before six am, this woman stayed on
the beach with a male and the two wins swimming.
He told police that they got caught in a big wave.
It's not clear what happened to her after that. The
guy told investigators that he eventually returned to the beach,
threw up, and then fell asleep on a beach bed.
(00:46):
He says he didn't see her when he woke up
a few hours later and returned to his hotel. The
clothes that she'd been wearing were found on that beach bed.
Three anonymous officials from the country previously said that she's
believed to have drowned, but there has been no official
information of that theory and the search continue. A lot
of people talking about how you shouldn't leave your group
when you're on spring break. Stay with a bunch of people.
(01:08):
Maybe have somebody who doesn't drink hang out with you
to make sure someone's what you're right. And that's another thing. Yeah,
and it's at night. Pretty scary. Southwest Airlines, what are
you doing doing?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Man?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
What are you doing? I mean you almost had Kiki
as a convert. She was almost gonna move from Spirit
to Southwest.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Not anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Nope, Southwest will start charging all but its highest status
loyal to your business passengers to check their bags. The
move begins with tickets purchased from May twenty eighth, and
Amtrak to the rescue. Maybe that's your new move speaking
am drag because they're trolling Southwest. The passenger a railroad
company posted on X yesterday, I guess we're the only
(01:48):
ones doing free baggage now, and then reminded passengers they
can carry one personal item up to twenty five pounds
and two carry on items up to fifty pounds only issues.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It will take you seven days to get where you're going, right.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
I don't have that kind of time.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, just double the time of your vacation and you'll
totally get there.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I've told you guys my plan because I fly Spirits.
Sometimes you just have to wear all of your clothes
for the trip on the plane, Like just put everything bikinis,
you know, cover ups, everything up for la pajamas. You
just layer it all on and get on a plane
and take it with you.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
That's all you gotta do. It's how you gotta do it.
But this is a big deal.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
This is like what this tells was doing for a
lot of things and now they're not you know, the
open seating and the and the free bags, and then
all the personality on the flights and the cheap tickets
and now they're not cheap anymore.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
And then you go make me pay for bags on
top of that, Like why do you want to be
like everybody else? Stand out? Thank you? Thank you. Yeah.
I was very upset about this news. Me too.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
And then I did what you know most people do,
and I texted my friend who works there. He's employee
number you know, seven million of thirty seven million, and
I'm like, what do you guys?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Do it?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
As if it was I mean, I can relate to
this experience, because you know that's what people do around
here too. Anything happens and they just they just text
me or say something nasty to me, And what are
you doing.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I worked for a multi billion dollar company. I didn't
make the decision. I don't know. Somebody my friend must
have felt like that yesterday because he was like, you
think you're the first one to text me this, as
if I'm in charge. I'm the bag czar. I fly
one plane sometimes that's what my friend does.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
But I don't know. I don't really get it.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
Everyone everyone's being greedy, yes, all this corporate greed.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I tell you.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
This is also not inspiring news this morning. What would
you guess is the age at which a lot of
Americans are saying they burn out by not at but before,
by or before thirty. Yep, a quarter of Americans are
burnt out before they're even thirty.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
A survey of two thousand adults.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
I know I was gonna say, I guess I've been
burnt out for a long time. A survey of two
thousand adults looked at how the stress of the past
decade has affected them. They found the average respondent experience
his peak burnout. Well, they're saying around forty two for
gen Z and millennial adults, so eighteen to forty four
the highest point of their stress. He is even younger
at twenty five. Now, we got to talk about this
(04:09):
a little bit, because COVID has been stressful, there's no
doubt about that. And if you're twenty years old, that
might be the most stressful thing you've ever seen, and
that would make perfect sense. But if we're burning out
at twenty five, that's a little early on the burnout,
Like we might want to push ourselves a little closer
to thirty or a little beyond thirty, because if we're
(04:30):
if we're already feeling like we've done enough or we've
done too much at twenty five, we got long life
left to live. We might have to have a little
resilience on this one, you know, because as a man
who's a little older than thirty, I can tell you.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Still have to keep going. You know, it doesn't stop.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
So if you're saying you're burnt out at twenty five,
I'm worried, you know. I feel like, God, maybe take
a nice walk in the park, or have an ice
cream cone or something.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I mean, you know what I mean, though, Like if
I said I'm done, I'm done with this now again,
if if ten percent or fifteen percent of my life
was COVID, well then I might feel I might think
I feel that way. But keep pushing, fam That's my
motivational speech of the day.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Just keep pushing.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Captain Positivity in twenty twenty five says it should get better.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Oh, it should, but it won't. I'm not. I don't
know when exactly, but it should get better.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
But yeah, forty two percent of feeling even more stress
than ever before. When as what's causing their burnout, finances
were the most commonly ranked as the top factor. Politics
and then physical health and work were also significant sources
of worry for respondents.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
And I don't have any good news stories for you today. Really.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
The Girl Scouts are being sued over heavy metals and
pesticides in their cookies. I thought they were all natural.
You're telling me now, but that's not real. Mint in there?
Is that what you're saying to me? Stop it? Stop it.
I've been eating it as a vegetable substitute or a fruit.
It was mint fruit or vegetable here I thought I
was eating mint all days an herb, or maybe it's
(06:05):
what does that make it a vegetable?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
God, we're due. Oh, urbs aren't vegetables.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I don't think mint is considered a herb, belonging to
the some word I can't say family. Okay, Well, The
Girl Scouts have been sued by consumers over the presence
of heavy metals and pesticides in the Thin Mints cookies,
among others. The proposed class action was filed against the
one hundred and thirteen year old nonprofit and the cookies
licensed producers. It cited a December twenty twenty fourth study
(06:31):
commissioned by GMOs Science and Moms Across America, which tested
samples of twenty five cookies in three states. The study
seven that Girl Scout cookies contained at least four of
five heavy metals aluminum, arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury that
can harm people's health or the environment, often at levels
exceeding regulators recommended limits. It also said that the samples
(06:53):
contain pesticide used in some wheat killers. The lawsuit seeks
five million dollars in damages, citing humor protection law violation.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Say it ain't so.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
You see, this is why we're stressed. Can't even eat
girl Scouts say.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
It ain't so? It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Oh man, it's National Working Mom's Day National.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
If you told me, by.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
The way, at twenty five, I couldn't eat girl Scout cookies,
I'd probably be burnt out too. I don't blame him now,
I take back what I said. Just forget about it. No,
you know what to be burned out, So I get it.
