Speaker 1: do it. I want to remind you that one of
Speaker 1: our great sponsors is Andrews American Pizza Kitchen. That's the
Speaker 1: delicious pizza joint in Plano right there at Preston and
Speaker 1: Plano Parkway. They have mastered five different styles of pizza
Speaker 1: and they all good. Now, if you haven't had the
Speaker 1: Dallas style, you gotta do that because that's kind of
Speaker 1: like the proprietary thing that they do. It's the legacy
Speaker 1: of Picasso's pizza if you remember that back in the day.
Speaker 1: Get it with the buttercrust, trust me. Great pasta dishes,
Speaker 1: incredible bar, they got Chicago Deep Dish, they got the
Speaker 1: Detroit style, they got Philly Tavern, they got classic New
Speaker 1: York style where you fold that joint over and shove
Speaker 1: it in your mouth. You're gonna love it Preston and
Speaker 1: Plano Parkway. It's Andrew's American Pizza Kitchen. But right now
Speaker 1: it's time for this.
Speaker 2: And now it's time for Benson's Sweet Day Up Day,
Speaker 2: featuring veteran news anchor kt F on tweets. Here are
Speaker 2: the important stories he's currently tracking from around the world.
Speaker 3: Hey, uh, bags fly free now anymore? A now at
Speaker 3: Southwest Airlines, No, they're not doing it anymore. You have
Speaker 3: if you're in a check a bag, this gonna be
Speaker 3: thirty five dollars. If you're in a check a second bag,
Speaker 3: it's gonna be forty five dollars.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if this is because I have
Speaker 1: an American Express card, but my first bag on American Airlines,
Speaker 1: I never have to pay for it.
Speaker 4: That's American Airlines.
Speaker 1: So okay, Well, I was just I was just making
Speaker 1: sure it wasn't like some you know, part of a
Speaker 1: club thing I have.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you might be Gucci fan.
Speaker 1: Well, well, my whole point though, is that they went
Speaker 1: from all bags fly free to now none of them.
Speaker 4: They ran on it. They ran on it was their
Speaker 4: whole thing. I will go.
Speaker 5: Ahead, Well, don't they have a similar program to that
Speaker 5: They said like if you get their credit card, oh yeah,
Speaker 5: you can get one for free.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you want to get in their loyalty things, okay,
Speaker 3: here and do all that stuff again.
Speaker 4: They ran on that.
Speaker 3: They also ran on a great commercial campaign for many years.
Speaker 3: Something embarrassing would happen and it would go want to
Speaker 3: get away, Yeah, because when something when you pup your
Speaker 3: pants in public, you immediately just get on a plane.
Speaker 4: Right, Okay.
Speaker 1: They had a great slogan as well for a long
Speaker 1: time when they would do the ding like the captain
Speaker 1: was coming over there, you are now free to fly
Speaker 1: around the country.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that was a great slogan iconic.
Speaker 3: I like Southwest Airlines because I love fields closer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's just it's just kind of nice. I'm
Speaker 4: with you, but.
Speaker 3: This is gonna hurt people who are going long distance.
Speaker 3: And my other thing on Southwest I'm gonna knock them
Speaker 3: for a minute. There's not a lot of options on flights.
Speaker 3: You got like, okay, I want to go here on
Speaker 3: this day. Well, here's one flight you can yeah where
Speaker 3: if you go to American and do call, there's nine
Speaker 3: flights to choose from today.
Speaker 1: Duh, we are going to we're going to New York.
Speaker 1: But the reason we're going there is our buddy Paul
Speaker 1: is doing a show in Staten Island in July. And
Speaker 1: we were pulling up flights a thousand of them about
Speaker 1: Paul Shalder.
Speaker 4: Paul Shalda, Yes, Statton Island.
Speaker 3: Yeah, ya, gotta go to the Collins Joe just's Pete
Speaker 3: Davidson Ferry.
Speaker 4: Uh? Is that what that's called? That he should do
Speaker 4: a show on that fairy? That would be great.
Speaker 1: But anyways, we were pulling up flights and to your
Speaker 1: point on American there's a thousand flights going to New York.
Speaker 3: Bens chuck full all day long, you can pick. I
Speaker 3: was thinking to compensate for this. What do you think
Speaker 3: about old Remember that story we did a few weeks
Speaker 3: ago about that old lady.
Speaker 4: They wouldn't let her fly. Oh, the ninety nine year
Speaker 4: old lady or one hundred.
Speaker 3: Or house was very old and they didn't believe her.
Speaker 3: And he's like, okay, how about hags fly free. That's
Speaker 3: a great from women over ninety. Yeah, that's how Southwest
Speaker 3: could get me back again. I like women over ninety
Speaker 3: free flights senior citizens. Yeah, okay, that's.
Speaker 4: A great fly free, great promo starting in a few
Speaker 4: years probably once they get this.
Speaker 1: And is it still going to be a free for
Speaker 1: all where you just line up and then go grab
Speaker 1: any seat because I heard they were changing that, right.
Speaker 4: I think they already changed it. Yeah. I haven't flown
Speaker 4: with him in a while.
Speaker 5: That's just a horrible strategy anyway, Like people already again,
Speaker 5: I fly American airlines, I have for years, but it's
Speaker 5: already chaotic when we have our groups, like people just
Speaker 5: stand there, even if their group is five, they call
Speaker 5: group one. People all huddle up there. So I can't
Speaker 5: imagine a free for all.
Speaker 4: We do need order.
Speaker 1: Oh god, it is weird too when you like you're
Speaker 1: in position number six, you're like, dope, this is great.
Speaker 1: I'll be on the front row or wherever you not
Speaker 1: have leg room. And then they start calling all these
Speaker 1: groups in front of you. Have you, guys ever seen
Speaker 1: Bill Burr's a bit about this, No, Bill Burr's got
Speaker 1: this hilario, a really great bit where he's at the
Speaker 1: very front and he's like, all right, him in pole position,
Speaker 1: he says, And then they start Connelly's groups, right, they're
Speaker 1: Connilly's groups. And then they call these veterans, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, how do we know what kind of
Speaker 1: veterans they are? Did that guy actually see action? Because
Speaker 1: if he wasn't an office, why does he get to
Speaker 1: get on in front of me?
Speaker 4: Was this guy working at the pro shop?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: So good dude.
Speaker 3: McDonald's is shutting down all Cosmics locations.
Speaker 4: That is a very quick destruction.
Speaker 5: And they had four right here in Texas.
Speaker 1: I've got one. I've got one half a mile from
Speaker 1: my house.
Speaker 3: Same same I went on in fact grant opening day
Speaker 3: there was throwing up some free drinks. Ran into Tim
Speaker 3: McMahon there, big memory, you know, never forget that day.
Speaker 4: I can't believe they're gone already. This is like under
Speaker 4: two years. Oh dude, it's under a year.
Speaker 1: I think the free clasted longer than costing, so I
Speaker 1: think so, and I think we offered more so.
Speaker 4: One of the problems with Cosmics, you know what the
Speaker 4: food options.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're getting coffee, drinks or whatever, and you
Speaker 1: think something they got pretzel bites.
Speaker 4: What.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a weird premise. But I'm not a
Speaker 5: big like drink person, so I think it was more
Speaker 5: steered for kids.
Speaker 1: It was I think because my daughter will go to
Speaker 1: Dutch Bros. Or any of those places.
Speaker 4: Dude. I mean my family soured on it really fast, like.
Speaker 1: We went, uh, you know, Okay, it's close, no one's
Speaker 1: ever there, and it's like, man, I don't know that
Speaker 1: I dig the options. Yeah, what does it say about
Speaker 1: them closing like across the country or just in Texas.
Speaker 3: Well, there's one in Illinois, Foreign Texas closing by late June. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't really know that there's too much about it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't really know.
Speaker 5: Are those all the locations? Because I saw that too,
Speaker 5: and I was like, there's no way there's only five locations.
Speaker 4: And four of them all attach I've seen them all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, we need to I wouldn't mind making a
Speaker 1: quick trip to Illinois to get all five in All right,
Speaker 1: it's the Ben and Skin shown Zo point one the
Speaker 1: Eagle coming up next.
Speaker 4: Kat explain what's happening in music news.
