Southwest Scraps Free Checked Bags & Tariffs Hit Steel and Aluminum

12 Mar 2025

Description

Episode 537: Neal and Toby discuss why Southwest is ditching one of its most prized perks: ‘2 bags fly free’ and why the airline industry is still struggling to takeoff. Then, Trump scares markets with a hike of Canadian steel and aluminum tariff to 50% but quickly pulls back. But the 25% is still happening. Plus, Greenlanders will have their say on their independence during their election and are sitting on a goldmine of valuable minerals.  Also, Japan is seeing record snowfall which has skiers from all around the world flocking to its resorts… Which is also causing safety challenges.

Then remember when bags flew free on Southwest? Well, now it's bags fly for a fee. Yep, free baggage is gonzo. It's Wednesday, March 12th. Let's ride.

A hot new play is setting fire to Broadway. Well, it's actually a very old play. Shakespeare's Othello, starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, brought in $2.8 million last week over eight performances, making it the highest weekly gross for a Broadway play in history.

The average ticket price was $338, but hearing Denzel recite, excellent wretch, perdition, catch my soul, but I do love thee, and when I love thee not, chaos is come again. Seems worth it.

85.423 - 106.569 Toby Howell

Watch out, Denzel. That was well done. Very expensive ticket prices. I mean, you mentioned the average ticket price, but you can get tickets upwards of $800 to see these two on stage. There's a lot of movie star action on Broadway right now and also coming down the pipeline. This spring, you can come see a picture of Dorian Gray starring Sarah Snook, a.k.a. Shiv from Succession.

Maybe Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross starring Kieran Culkin, Bob Odenkirk, and Bill Burr.

111.311 - 114.532 Neal Freiman

I have tickets to that. All right, that is your thing. That looks amazing.
