Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Fresh Show is on the biggest stories of the day.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
So Butch and Sonny, you're never coming home. Butcher is
sounni here. I'm sorry. They just they live in space now.
And the weird thing is you can go up there
and visit them. They just can't come home for some reason.
Very odd, but SpaceX the mission to bring the Starliner
astronauts home has been postponed. They were supposed to fly
there yesterday ten hours to the space station, pick them up.
I guess in a couple of days, bring them back.
(00:25):
But there's a hydraulicus issue. Yes, so NASA astronauts Butch
and Sunny Williams have it bore the International Space Station
for nine months. It was supposed to be like a
couple of days awaiting return. After their original spacecraft, the
Boeing star Liner, encountered technical issues. The SpaceX Crew ten
mission that was supposed to bring them back was set
(00:47):
to launch yesterday to bring them home, but with less
than an hour left in the launch countdown, the launch
was scrubbed. The problem with the hydraulics on the launch
platform arms led at the cancelation. SpaceX said they could
try again as early as tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
To have kids.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I don't know they left, the kids left them, the
kids have been adopted by other people.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
Is this a new like my dad went out to
get cigarettes and never came back. Yeah, this is what
I'm in space now.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Sorry, honey, I'm in space and I'm not gonna building
come to your wedding or anything else that you do
in your life. Sadly now, honestly, I mean I would
begin to wonder, like, does anybody want me there? And
it's better I guess they figure this out right, that
there's a problem, and then the people don't go up
there and nothing. I don't want anything bad to happen anybody.
But at the same time, I just just like, you
(01:32):
know what, forget about it? Well, just what it's fine,
Just send up some more that the food that's in
the toothpaste container whatever that goo is. Oh, I'm not
go Did you ever want to go to space Camp?
Do you strike me as somebody who would have wanted
to go to space Camp, Jason, because you would have
seen some kid in like Nickelodeon who got to go
after double Day or something.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I don't think I give camp like I don't
think as like I didn't want to be away from
my parents on our house.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
I definitely wasn't going to camp. We know, space camp
seemed kind of cool. Yeah, it did seem cool.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I didn't want to go in that orb thing like
the Lady Gaga like outfit that she wore with like
the circles around her where you sit in the middle
of it and you're like woo. You know, like so
you would have left your house for that experience, Yeah,
but I would have had to come home that night,
you know, spend the night someone.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I think it's in like Cape Canaveralo, Orlando or something
so so far as far away from home, like you know,
it's several hours in a plane.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
That's a that's a long trip for little Jason Brown.
You wanted to go, ok, I into space Camp? Oh yeah,
I love space you know this. I wanted to be
an astronaut.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
But like I heard that you can never have smoked
anything in your life, and so I'm gq'ed Ooh.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, that would be a problem for me too, I guess.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, but no, I really wanted to go, and I
did see those ads on Nickelodeon.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You're right, right, I think I think it was like
double Dammer or one of those games where if you won,
you got to go to space camp and you got
to pretend to be an astronaut for a week or something,
and they gave you the you know, freeze dride food
that was it came in the squeeze container and you
get to put a little space suit on and you
not no Kiki, none of this stuff.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Oh no, absolutely not went to camp. And he went
to like the school and I think it's in Florida
or something, select certain kids and take them. I wasn't
into India any of that. I was gonna say, where
is space camp like? And it's not like the local
park district, like you have to go to Florida or.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I think it's I think it's like in Camp Caveral.
I think it's where the spaceships are. I don't even
know if you can, can you still go to space camp?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
How do you like? Selective right to space camp?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Now?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Want to space Camp? I do, but I feel like
I would get motion sickness.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
But I also go there as you can still go.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
That's very exclusive though, Like why is it just the
who's who? Expensive?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
How much had it caught to those space campeen hundred bucks.
Well I should go. Let's go get double jair going
again and then we'll win that and I always and
then family double there, don't get me started on that.
A big happy family that all was able to come
together in one room and play parents, to play a
game show and play nice.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
What was that like? There is adults. You could do
space camp for adults. It's cheaper. We should reach out and.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Egg prices have started to drop after the bird flew
shortage costs massive hikes in February in the price of eggs,
A Bureau of Labor Statistics said the prices for large
white eggs dropped a dollar thirty to six eighty five
a dozen as of March seventh, but one expert predicts
that demand would likely spike again in April and inflate
prices as family stuck up for Easter egg hunts. How
(04:23):
about you don't need the real eggs this year for
Easter egg for the little die in the Easter eggs?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Can we die something else? Can we die T shirts instead?
That's fun?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I want to eat the eggs. Eggs are expensive, so
I mean, do we have to have to be? Can
we die? Can we come up with something else to die.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
I like it. We need that maybe.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Did you see this this track meet where one of
the women beat the other woman up with a baton
in the middle of the race.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Did you see this and then cried and said she
didn't mean to.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Wait what but she was absolutely wailing on this woman
with the baton mid race.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, she tried it. It's the craziest thing with this.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
This track star who was caught on camera hitting her
opponent on the head with a batam is facing an
assault charge after the clip went viral. The Lynchburg Commonwealth's
Attorney's offices in Virginia have issued a petition for one
count of assault and battery against this woman, Everett Alalia Everett,
I believe it was her name. She was seen at
(05:19):
the Track Championships in Virginia striking another woman during the
four x two hundred meter relay event. She was running
in the second leg of the relay when she passed
another woman from another school. In the clip, she could
be seen pulling her right arm back and smacking the
baton that she was carrying across the other woman's head.
(05:42):
And then yeah, then she told this whole story about
how I didn't mean it and I was tripping, and well,
you beat somebody up while you tripped. I mean, she
was whailing on this woman's head.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It was crazy. She tried it twice.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
She tried to beat that girl up, and then she
tried to cry and thought we would believe her that
she wasn't beating her up.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Can't be mean and the and then cry no, and
then it's like and then the video doesn't happen Like
I said, no, Like you were wailing on this person.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Single angle shows that you're trying.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
To beat her up. Why did you not think that
we would see that? Like it's a track me like
everyone gets watching all it's like you It's not like
there's a dark corner that the invisible turn three and
the track meet where I can beat you up in
the tunnel. Were Like, what happened to the other girl?
I don't know if she got beaten up in the tunnel.
You know these things happen. Southwest Airlines has informed flyers
at beginning in May will abolish it's two free checked
(06:30):
bag policy, and many people are upset about this.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Kiki.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Many angry Southwest customers have taken to social media and
I feel bad for the people that work at social
media at Southwest because imagine that a decision that you
didn't make and then people come for you and say
terrible things to you over something that you didn't have
anything to do. Imagine that happening. And so these people,
the Southwest people are having to take the brunt of it,
(06:56):
you know. And now one guy is saying the Southwest
Airlines is single handedly killing the independent music artist single handedly.
Won know why because they were led on being able
to check their instrument for free to travel to gigs. Ye,
and now you're saying I have to pay, well, that's
another however much money?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
This is what the guy says.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Mark Taylor, he captured the video, saying Southwest Airlines has
single handedly killed the independent music artists today.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Why is this important? He says? Why does it matter
to you?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
So obviously independent artists are not the only people traveling
on Southwest. But I'm going to highlight this right now.
Next time you go to a show and you're complaining
about WIED tickets so expensive, Wired ticket fee is expensive,
you could thank Bob Jordans Southwest Airlines, the CEO.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
He's part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I'm going to run you all through some numbers, because
this was the last thing that allowed independent artists to
tour and to make a couple of dollars on the road.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Now our margins are gone because of Bob. That's it.
Look at that.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
That's why my music career hasn't taken off. Thanks Bow.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, I know you had a whole tour schedule that
you were using Southwest as your transportation. You were going
to take your guitar on the road with you. Come on,
because you're always playing that guitar. Yeah, and now it
Bob and I do I figure that someone has done
the math on this. I would like to believe somewhere
in Dallas at the Southwest headquarters where they figured out
(08:15):
that how much they're going to like, how many people
won't travel with them at all now that they have
to pay for bags and seas. So that's what I
wonder is it must have done the math on this
before they did it, to be like, all right, well,
we're gonna lose this percentage of people because the bags
aren't free anymore. But then we're going to pick up
these but I don't know. I don't know who you're
picking up cause it's My issue with Southwest is it
(08:37):
used to be cheap, and then they were like kind
of hokey, you know what I mean, And so like
it was cheap and hokey, and my bags were free,
and I.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Could change my ticket whenever I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So if fly Southwest and it was hoky, you know,
and it wasn't the greatest quality. I mean, the flight
was safe, you know, but I don't know. They kind
of threw peanuts at you and told you a joke
and sing a little song, and you're like, okay, well
now it's as were more expensive than everybody else to
fly Southwest, and I gotta pay for bags, and I
can't change my flights if by the cheapest fair. And
I don't get it. I don't get to just pick
whatever sea I want anymore. So then why I just
(09:06):
fly to anybody? Right, I'll just get on out now,
I'll just get on whoever's cheapest. I don't care, so,
you know what I mean. Didn't they think of this somewhere?
Do they need us to take over?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I think they do. Bob Jordan's step aside.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It's time for Fred Airlines, Fread airlines cheaper.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
It'll be way cheaper.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
We'll get back to the personality on the flights, maybe
some maybe we'll get back to some some more stylish
uniforms for the men and the women. Just appeal to
everybody now, doesn't have to be just scantily glad flight attendance.
I mean the men can dress provocatively as well. Let's
get sexual with this, Let's get sexual with sex cells. Okay,
let's get back to the free bags. We'll get back
(09:47):
to uh, you know, I say free drinks on the flight.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yes, I say bring smoking back. Yeah, we'll work on that.
We're gonna work. We're just whiteboarding here.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
There are no bad ideas, no bad ideas, no bad
ide ideas. That's a bad idea. But other than that,
no bad ideas. You know, I got it. Let's just
go back to the Southwest of Olden Watch. People will
be very excited about it. But now you're just making
it like every other airline. If I want, if I
want to get Nickel and Dime, I'll just go fly Spirit.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Wait a minute, now, Oh no.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I've only I felt for that that trick one time,
one time in my whole life. I'm like, really, I'm
going to Vegas and Spirit is twelve dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You are kidding me. This must be some typo booked.
Thank you. And then I get to the airport, they're.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Like, oh, you wanted to go to Vegas, right, that
means you needed this seat. Oh that's one hundred and
fifty bucks. All right, well, still one hundred and sixty two.
I saved money. This is great. Oh oh you that
that backpack? You wanted that to come on? That's fifty bucks.
Oh and it looks a little big seventy five, you know.
And then before long I paid Oh, oh, you didn't
(10:53):
want to sit in the middle seat. You wanted a
wind Oh you know, you greedy. That's another one hundred
and before long I paid more.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
This is alex Art, you know. But how do I
want up paying more?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It's all about how you think about it. At the
moment when you booked the trip, it was twelve dollars.
So in your mind you have told yourself, I got
a twelve dollar flight. Now what happens when you get
to start your vacation.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
It doesn't matter, No, it didn't judicial matters. Everything it's
the same. There are no.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Rules at the airport, are like twelve money, yes, for anything?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
At the airport. You got to look at it that way.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I feel that way once I've passed into the secure
area of the airport. Because once I've passed into the
secure area of the airport, you can't even I don't
know if you knew this, you actually can't leave. If
you're on the secure side of the airport. You are
now committed to your flight. You can't go anywhere because
your bag, what if you checked it gone, it's going
to wherever you're supposed to go. So now once I'm
(11:45):
through TSA, I'm not going to get you know, I'm
not going to do all that again.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
So I'm committed.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And so now if I got to pay eighteen dollars
for a bagel, well that's what you got to do,
because now we're in the airport where at the terminal.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
This is what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Now if I want to buy a book and it's
eighty seven dollars, and it would have been, you know,
much cheaper on Amazon too late, Amazon doesn't come to
the secure side of the airport committed southway you want,
or you want to Starbucks and it's twice the price.
We're in the secure side of the airport now, there
are the price is no object exactly because yeah, now
I did hear this tip the other day on TikTok.
(12:17):
Some of the southwest, or want to keep saying Southwest,
some of these Starbucks places in the airports will allow
you to mobile order and use points. I don't know
if it's more points than it would be outside of it.
I'm not a big Starbucks guy, more of a Duncan guy.
But apparently you could use points and then you don't
have to pay the up charge of the airport Starbucks
because the airport Starbucks is like twice as much. Oh,
(12:39):
but apparently you can use you can use a little
little points in there and then but then again, maybe
they've gotten smart at this and they're charging more points
than they would on the outside the inside, in the outside,
that's what I call it. Takes worry in prison. You know,
when I'm on the outside, ye, you know you can
do this. But when I'm on the inside and we
pay it, we got to pay. And doctors have noticed
this is a real head line again today in increase
(13:01):
in cases of gloom mistaken for eye drops, so they've
had to doctors have gotten together and made an announcement
about this. Doctors at one Colorado hospital system are reminding
eye drop users to read the label carefully after seeing
an upticking cases of people accidentally putting glue in their eyes.
It's become surprisingly common for people to mistake nail glue
(13:22):
or lash glue for eye drops. One doctor said that
nail and lash glues, as well as several other products,
can sometimes come in bottles that resemble eye drop containers.
The glue drives in a matter of seconds, so he
encourages people to get to a sink. If you're one
of these people who does this, try and wash it
out of take a town and loosen it up a
little bit before you, I guess, go to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
The quicker you act, the better.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Doctors sometimes have to scrape the adhesive from the surface
of your eye.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But here's my thing.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
If any eye drops, maybe I can't see all that
well in that moment.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, but why do we have the glue where the
eye drops are?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Right?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Different rooms, different drawers, I agree, Why is your glue
in your bathroom?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Why is the glue needs to be where the glue goes,
which is nowhere near where the eye drops go, So
that we don't run into this issue.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Junk dure or garage.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Thank you, I'm not and I don't go to the
garage for eye drops. No, no, everybody knows this. I mean,
come on, you guys. I'm very worried about the world.
It's National a Dermatologist Day. It's National Jewel Day for
jewelry designers, and National Canine Veterans Day, recognizing the dedicated
canine unit who have served since World War Two. The
(14:31):
Entertainer Report will do it next, blogs this hour audio
journal is waiting by the phone.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Why did somebody get ghosted? All coming up Fred Show
The Fresh Show is on the biggest stories of the day.

four x two hundred meter relay event. She was running
in the second leg of the relay when she passed
another woman from another school. In the clip, she could
be seen pulling her right arm back and smacking the
baton that she was carrying across the other woman's head.
(05:42):
And then yeah, then she told this whole story about
how I didn't mean it and I was tripping, and well,
you beat somebody up while you tripped. I mean, she
was whailing on this woman's head.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It was crazy. She tried it twice.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
She tried to beat that girl up, and then she
tried to cry and thought we would believe her that
she wasn't beating her up.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Can't be mean and the and then cry no, and
then it's like and then the video doesn't happen Like
I said, no, Like you were wailing on this person.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Single angle shows that you're trying.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
To beat her up. Why did you not think that
we would see that? Like it's a track me like
everyone gets watching all it's like you It's not like
there's a dark corner that the invisible turn three and
the track meet where I can beat you up in
the tunnel. Were Like, what happened to the other girl?
I don't know if she got beaten up in the tunnel.
You know these things happen. Southwest Airlines has informed flyers
at beginning in May will abolish it's two free checked
(06:30):
bag policy, and many people are upset about this.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Kiki.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Many angry Southwest customers have taken to social media and
I feel bad for the people that work at social
media at Southwest because imagine that a decision that you
didn't make and then people come for you and say
terrible things to you over something that you didn't have
anything to do. Imagine that happening. And so these people,
the Southwest people are having to take the brunt of it,
(06:56):
you know. And now one guy is saying the Southwest
Airlines is single handedly killing the independent music artist single handedly.
Won know why because they were led on being able
to check their instrument for free to travel to gigs. Ye,
and now you're saying I have to pay, well, that's
another however much money?
Speaker 1 (07:14):
This is what the guy says.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Mark Taylor, he captured the video, saying Southwest Airlines has
single handedly killed the independent music artists today.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Why is this important? He says? Why does it matter
to you?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
So obviously independent artists are not the only people traveling
on Southwest. But I'm going to highlight this right now.
Next time you go to a show and you're complaining
about WIED tickets so expensive, Wired ticket fee is expensive,
you could thank Bob Jordans Southwest Airlines, the CEO.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
He's part of the problem.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
I'm going to run you all through some numbers, because
this was the last thing that allowed independent artists to
tour and to make a couple of dollars on the road.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Now our margins are gone because of Bob. That's it.
Look at that.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
That's why my music career hasn't taken off. Thanks Bow.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yeah, I know you had a whole tour schedule that
you were using Southwest as your transportation. You were going
to take your guitar on the road with you. Come on,
because you're always playing that guitar. Yeah, and now it
Bob and I do I figure that someone has done
the math on this. I would like to believe somewhere
in Dallas at the Southwest headquarters where they figured out
(08:15):
that how much they're going to like, how many people
won't travel with them at all now that they have
to pay for bags and seas. So that's what I
wonder is it must have done the math on this
before they did it, to be like, all right, well,
we're gonna lose this percentage of people because the bags
aren't free anymore. But then we're going to pick up
these but I don't know. I don't know who you're
picking up cause it's My issue with Southwest is it
(08:37):
used to be cheap, and then they were like kind
of hokey, you know what I mean, And so like
it was cheap and hokey, and my bags were free,
and I.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Could change my ticket whenever I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So if fly Southwest and it was hoky, you know,
and it wasn't the greatest quality. I mean, the flight
was safe, you know, but I don't know. They kind
of threw peanuts at you and told you a joke
and sing a little song, and you're like, okay, well
now it's as were more expensive than everybody else to
fly Southwest, and I gotta pay for bags, and I
can't change my flights if by the cheapest fair. And
I don't get it. I don't get to just pick
whatever sea I want anymore. So then why I just
(09:06):
fly to anybody? Right, I'll just get on out now,
I'll just get on whoever's cheapest. I don't care, so,
you know what I mean. Didn't they think of this somewhere?
Do they need us to take over?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
I think they do. Bob Jordan's step aside.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It's time for Fred Airlines, Fread airlines cheaper.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
It'll be way cheaper.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
We'll get back to the personality on the flights, maybe
some maybe we'll get back to some some more stylish
uniforms for the men and the women. Just appeal to
everybody now, doesn't have to be just scantily glad flight attendance.
I mean the men can dress provocatively as well. Let's
get sexual with this, Let's get sexual with sex cells. Okay,
let's get back to the free bags. We'll get back
(09:47):
to uh, you know, I say free drinks on the flight.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yes, I say bring smoking back. Yeah, we'll work on that.
We're gonna work. We're just whiteboarding here.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
There are no bad ideas, no bad ideas, no bad
ide ideas. That's a bad idea. But other than that,
no bad ideas. You know, I got it. Let's just
go back to the Southwest of Olden Watch. People will
be very excited about it. But now you're just making
it like every other airline. If I want, if I
want to get Nickel and Dime, I'll just go fly Spirit.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Wait a minute, now, Oh no.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
I've only I felt for that that trick one time,
one time in my whole life. I'm like, really, I'm
going to Vegas and Spirit is twelve dollars.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
You are kidding me. This must be some typo booked.
Thank you. And then I get to the airport, they're.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Like, oh, you wanted to go to Vegas, right, that
means you needed this seat. Oh that's one hundred and
fifty bucks. All right, well, still one hundred and sixty two.
I saved money. This is great. Oh oh you that
that backpack? You wanted that to come on? That's fifty bucks.
Oh and it looks a little big seventy five, you know.
And then before long I paid Oh, oh, you didn't
(10:53):
want to sit in the middle seat. You wanted a
wind Oh you know, you greedy. That's another one hundred
and before long I paid more.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
This is alex Art, you know. But how do I
want up paying more?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It's all about how you think about it. At the
moment when you booked the trip, it was twelve dollars.
So in your mind you have told yourself, I got
a twelve dollar flight. Now what happens when you get
to start your vacation.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
It doesn't matter, No, it didn't judicial matters. Everything it's
the same. There are no.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Rules at the airport, are like twelve money, yes, for anything?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
At the airport. You got to look at it that way.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
I feel that way once I've passed into the secure
area of the airport. Because once I've passed into the
secure area of the airport, you can't even I don't
know if you knew this, you actually can't leave. If
you're on the secure side of the airport. You are
now committed to your flight. You can't go anywhere because
your bag, what if you checked it gone, it's going
to wherever you're supposed to go. So now once I'm
(11:45):
through TSA, I'm not going to get you know, I'm
not going to do all that again.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
So I'm committed.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
And so now if I got to pay eighteen dollars
for a bagel, well that's what you got to do,
because now we're in the airport where at the terminal.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
This is what we're doing.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Now if I want to buy a book and it's
eighty seven dollars, and it would have been, you know,
much cheaper on Amazon too late, Amazon doesn't come to
the secure side of the airport committed southway you want,
or you want to Starbucks and it's twice the price.
We're in the secure side of the airport now, there
are the price is no object exactly because yeah, now
I did hear this tip the other day on TikTok.
(12:17):
Some of the southwest, or want to keep saying Southwest,
some of these Starbucks places in the airports will allow
you to mobile order and use points. I don't know
if it's more points than it would be outside of it.
I'm not a big Starbucks guy, more of a Duncan guy.
But apparently you could use points and then you don't
have to pay the up charge of the airport Starbucks
because the airport Starbucks is like twice as much. Oh,
(12:39):
but apparently you can use you can use a little
little points in there and then but then again, maybe
they've gotten smart at this and they're charging more points
than they would on the outside the inside, in the outside,
that's what I call it. Takes worry in prison. You know,
when I'm on the outside, ye, you know you can
do this. But when I'm on the inside and we
pay it, we got to pay. And doctors have noticed
this is a real head line again today in increase
(13:01):
in cases of gloom mistaken for eye drops, so they've
had to doctors have gotten together and made an announcement
about this. Doctors at one Colorado hospital system are reminding
eye drop users to read the label carefully after seeing
an upticking cases of people accidentally putting glue in their eyes.
It's become surprisingly common for people to mistake nail glue
(13:22):
or lash glue for eye drops. One doctor said that
nail and lash glues, as well as several other products,
can sometimes come in bottles that resemble eye drop containers.
The glue drives in a matter of seconds, so he
encourages people to get to a sink. If you're one
of these people who does this, try and wash it
out of take a town and loosen it up a
little bit before you, I guess, go to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
The quicker you act, the better.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Doctors sometimes have to scrape the adhesive from the surface
of your eye.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But here's my thing.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
If any eye drops, maybe I can't see all that
well in that moment.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, but why do we have the glue where the
eye drops are?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Right?
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Different rooms, different drawers, I agree, Why is your glue
in your bathroom?
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Why is the glue needs to be where the glue goes,
which is nowhere near where the eye drops go, So
that we don't run into this issue.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Junk dure or garage.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Thank you, I'm not and I don't go to the
garage for eye drops. No, no, everybody knows this. I mean,
come on, you guys. I'm very worried about the world.
It's National a Dermatologist Day. It's National Jewel Day for
jewelry designers, and National Canine Veterans Day, recognizing the dedicated
canine unit who have served since World War Two. The
