Speaker 1 (00:00):
Gosh, there's so much information that's available to us on
a daily basis when we're getting ready for the show.
And this was one of those questions on like a
little thing like thought Starters, where I was laughing and
Alex Stone ABC.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
And who's just joining us, He's going, oh god, it.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Can't be any worse than yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Go on.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Do you get nervous when you see a plunger in
the bathroom you're about to use?
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Let's say you're at no thankful?
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Ok, Okay, there there it is because this basically the
whole layout of this is people going, uh, what does
that tell me about your plumbing?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Does that mean you have weak plumbing?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's terrible you're anticipating, you know, all of those things.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
No, I think it's a benefit to you sitting in
there that you know you haven't out.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
It's very practical to be prepared.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
I wish hotels sometimes would put them in their bathrooms.
You don't have to call down to the desk and
be like, uh, hi, yeah, can you send somebody out
because well, yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
There's a small child that's plugging up my also known
as well not really a child, but about the size
of a small chip.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
But right, and then you think, let me get out
of here before they come so they can't see what
I look like. And uh, no one's I'm walking around
the hotel and that was me right.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Yeah, somebody was like on this.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I always get a little worried when I have to
use somebody else's bathroom. There's a toilet plunger next to
the toilet, makes me think that the toilet clogs easily.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
The owner wants you to plunge your own mess.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Well, yeah, mess.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I let me tell you something. If one of you
guys was at my house and you came out of
there and said, hey, uh, something's going on. You better
get in there and fix it, I'd be like, was
that something that's going on came out of you? Well,
you're gonna fix it, not me, and you're gonna clean
up my floor too.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
By the way, Uh, if you go to my house
right now, is to be honest with you. With the
teenage boys in the house, oh yeah, Uh, not only
is there a plunger, there's a secondary turbo plunger, and
there is a toilet snake.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Wo wow.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I am pure sad because man, get your son some
more fiber.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
These kids can take in a trisk and give you
back a Olkswagen.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
And I have them in every one of my bathrooms.
I have the little actually it's like the little kit.
There's the plunger, and then there's the the scrubber, the
that you you know, clean the toilet with. It's like
a little it's like a little two piece kind of
and I have matching. They're in all the bathrooms. I
(02:33):
do that on purpose for a when the bathrooms need
you know, those, because they do have a shelf life.
And and uh, I guess I'm completely fine with as
long as I don't look over and there's like, you know,
crust all over it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Well, nobody wants to see the plungers.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
You can get some time out of the brushes, though
generally I'm like a quarterly replacement kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
At least.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
What do you do with the plunger after you've used it?
Speaker 5 (02:57):
It must it must be cleaned.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
But do you put it in a shower in the bathtub.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
It depends on the situation. I have been known to
go outside and use a garden hose.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Oh wow, that's a lot of work.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Usually, yeah, it's like dripping, and I just put it
in the bathtub, and then you know, my kids will
come in and be like, Dad.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Why is the plum?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Gross? Yeah, the bathtub. You're like, well, if it's not.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
Too bad, right, I will go in the bathtub shower
and because our water is in create it's like four
thousand degree hot water, So I'm okay with that, But
then the bathtub has to be made sure it's clean afterwards.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
You got to sanitize. Absolutely. Here's what I do.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
If it wasn't real bad, I mean, I'm I holding it,
you know, over the actual toilet.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I kind of inspect it and.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
If it's you know, rins able with you know, I
will once it's clean the toilet bowl, the water's clear again,
I'll submerge it and then kind of swish it around
and then flush it again. And I'll do that a
couple of times, almost kind of to clean it if
you will.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
But I don't.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I don't sanitize it because maybe I should, though, now
that I'm kind of saying all this out.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Loud, I don't know. Maybe I should, but I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
The still sounds like too much work. I just shower
with mine, and it's two for one.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
You actually use it to wash off with.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You could clean both things at once. Okay, you dance
with it, come in and you're holding it like a microphone.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Do you have people that care for you at home?
Just to you know?
Speaker 2 (04:19):
No, look at him? Can't you tell he does not
have anyone that cares? Wow? Wow? Anyway, I just I.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Thought it was an interesting I'm like, everybody can relate to,
you know, the whole the plunger question. It seems like so,
but I'm with you, Alex, and you chuck as well.
It's like, well, yeah, no, I if there's one sitting there,
it's just like, okay, that makes me feel a little better,
if you know, God forbid the unthinkable happens where you
plug up?
Speaker 2 (04:47):
And what is it from? What was the uh? It?
Dumb and dumber? Remember?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Oh yeah, I'll be out in the moment.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
See, I've got Creamer in the shower making salad after
Zach because that's where it's in my head right now.
Is Creamer on Steinfeld when he had the garbage disposal
installed in his shower. That that's a xact thing. That's
what's in my head now.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
All the dumb and dumber lines are going through my head.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
But anyway, go on, right, So there's a new law
set lawsuit rather against Delta and United, and you're paying
extra for a window seat. I'm not privy to paying
extra for a window seat. Clearly it exists. People do this.
I fly Southwest so much that you know it's first come,
first go.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Soon unless you've got a lead status with their new
sign seating.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
But yeah, yeah, well I'm okay, I really want a
sign seating. I think it's a godsend that Southwest is
doing that. I would rather pick my that's a whole
I think I've talked with you about that before I
get stressed out. During that time, I've seen people almost
come to blows yelling at each other and you're you're
not supposed to be ahead of me, You're supposed to
be behind me, numerical blah blah blah, And I'm just like,
(05:55):
oh my gosh, is this really happening.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
So I'm happy that they're going to do that.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
But this particular thing you're reporting on alex Is is
interesting and it must happen enough to where well, now is.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
The lawsuit is?
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I mean really on every flight it goes on, and
it's do people care or not. I feel like so
many people now when you fly, they leave their window
shades down that who cares if they have a window
there or not because they don't look out the window.
I'm a guy who likes to look out the window
to daydream out that window. And when we're landing, I
like the window shades up to know when we're about
to hit the ground. Yes, there's I hate when you
can't see out when everybody's got their window shades down
(06:26):
all around you and you're going like are we almost there?
Like when are we going to feel the impact of
touching down? Of waiting for it?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
So?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, in today's world, a having a window seat is
often considered now an upgraded seat that if you don't
have status on the airline, they can charge it to
sit in that seat.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
But just about every.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Type of airline or airplane has window seats where you
get there and there's no window where it is a wall.
Have you ever sat next to one of these where
you're like, sometimes kind of nice to sleep where there's
no window there, it's only the wall.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Yes, yeah, I've actually absolutely you sit down and then
it's literally part of the plane there.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, because of.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
The structure of the airplane where you know they've got
a gap for air ducts or electrical or where they've
welded it together, and there's no window there. So United
can charge fifty bucks extra for that seat domestically one
hundred dollars internationally. So you show up and you paid
for a window seat and there's a wall there.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Well.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
There are two class action lawsuits have now been filed.
One is against Delta by a Brooklyn man says he
flew New York to Orange County, California, chose a window seat,
paid for it, only to find himself next to a
blank wall during that time in flight. The United lawsuit
is by a number of different people, but by leading
led by a woman who bought three window seats for
(07:43):
three flights, paid one hundred and sixty nine bucks and
had no windows, choosing that same seat number on each
of the planes, and she says she's claustrophobic and wanted
to look out the window. There's another United plaintiff who
says that he used miles and chose a window seat
San Francisco to DC had no window. So these class
action lawsuits are going after the Boeing seven thirty sevens
(08:06):
seven fifty sevens and Airbus eight three twenty one's in
the Delta and United fleets. But really, I mean it's
every airplane that's somewhere in there. There is a wall
that where they've got to run all the stuff and
there's not a window there. But the plaintiffs claim that
there are some airlines. Spirit included that when you book
and there's not a window there, that it warns you
(08:26):
there is no window here? Are you okay with a wall?
But the United and Delta don't do that, so that
is why they are named in the class action lawsuits.
United and Delta say they're not going to comment, it's
pending litigation. But this group is saying, one, yeah, they
want some money, but two they want the airlines, when
you're booking that seat to say, hey, heads up, there's
not really a window here.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I think that's a I think that's a very very
reasonable ask. I mean that they put that Spirit can
do it, then certainly the larger carriers can also do it.
It shouldn't be a big deal for them to just
go hey, heads up, you know, and then boom on
the next thing.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
This is silly that and I get that.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
People want you know they're going, hey, if you're gonna
charge me more and I get on there, but to
warn them, I think that's a reasonable ask.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Yeah, I mean, on the surface it sounds silly, but
but if you're gonna be on a six hour flight
domestically going coast to coast, or you know, let's say
twelve hours internationally, and you think you're gonna have a
window and you don't and it's just a wall, that
could be a big deal.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
That's a bummer for sure. It's probably going to be
an extra value you're going to have to take.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
I think that actually pay the fee to not be
by the window. Quite frankly, really it's too cold that exterior.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
I know it's way too cold.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Interesting, all right, Alex Stone, ABC News out of La
where it's nice and hot today, right it is, Yeah, Alex,
thank you very much, appreciate it.
