(25:25) Stop Flushing These Things Down the Toilet
Because of the overly robust toilet paper runs people have made this month, some of us still don't have enough. And it's led to a lot of toilet paper "alternatives" being flushed. Now people are worried it could back up sewage systems. So let's take a second to review the top things you should NOT be flushing . . .
Wet wipes. Even if they say "flushable," it's not true. They don't break down like toilet paper does. So they can clog your plumbing, or your local sewage system if enough people do it. The same applies for baby wipes and moist towelettes.
Paper towels, and even tissues. They're not designed to break down in water like toilet paper is.
Antibacterial wipes, like those Clorox wipes everyone stocked up on. Hopefully you haven't resorted to using THOSE in the bathroom. But in any case, don't flush them.
Lady products, including tampons. If you normally flush them, now's the time to break that habit. The same applies for Q-tips and cotton pads.
Condoms. Sewage treatment plants have to deal with them a lot. But it's even more important to stop flushing them right now.
Dental floss. It can wrap around stuff and cause blockages. You also shouldn't flush HAIR for the same reason.
(31:55) What Foods Were So Undesirable That They Found Themselves Alone on Empty Shelves?
There have been rushes on grocery stores for the past week, with people clearing out the supply of everything from frozen pizzas to mac and cheese.
But there are some things that are SO undesirable that they managed to stay on the shelves while people bought up everything around them.
A website compiled a bunch of people's social media pictures to put together a list of the foods that no one wanted, even now. Those include . . .
Frozen pizzas with pineapple . . . or with cauliflower and broccoli crusts.
Cans of Manhattan Clam Chowder soup in a New England grocery store.
Hot Tamales-flavored Peeps.
Baby Shark cereal.
Aquafina water.
Gluten-free battered halibut.
Unsalted potato chips.
And, of course, Corona beer.

(54:50) Today Is the First Day of Spring . . . It's the Earliest Spring in 124 Years
Today is the vernal equinox, which marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of fall in the Southern Hemisphere.
And this is actually the earliest spring in 124 years. NOT because of anything any groundhog predicted, though. It all has to do with Leap Days and Daylight Saving Time.
In 2000, we had a Leap Day. In the first year of other centuries, like the year 1700, the year 1800, and the year 1900, there wasn't a Leap Day because years that are evenly divisible by 100 don't get one.
But if a year is evenly divisible by 400, like the year 2000, then we DO have a Leap Day. Why? Because of some calculations made in the 1500s. Seriously.
SO . . . because 2000 was a day longer, it started pushing the time of the vernal equinox slightly earlier every year. Plus, in recent years, Daylight Saving Time has started earlier in the year, before the equinox, instead of after.
That brings us to now, and the equinox is today at 11:49 P.M. Eastern time. That's the earliest it's been since all these random factors collided back in 1896, when the vernal equinox was at 9:29 P.M. Eastern on March 19th.
I hope that's all confused you enough to take your mind off what's happening in the world.

Checks for all Americans will not be cut for at least THREE WEEKS says Steve Mnuchin - but if the crisis continues there will be a second round of handouts up to $1,000 per adult
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said that Americans could see their first round of checks in three weeks
The checks would be for $1,000 per person, $500 per child
'So for a family of four, that's a $3,000 payment. As soon as Congress passes this, we get this out in three weeks,' he told Fox Business Network
And, if the emergency continues, another round of checks would come out later
'And then six weeks later, if the president still has a national emergency, we'll deliver another $3,000,' he said
