What in the World with Doug Currin

In tonight’s What in the World with Doug Currin you are in for a treat! We have a twofer of stories that will make you pause, scratch your head and ask yourself , “What in the World”?

First, grab your shot glasses! We’ve seen them all over social, we’ve heard directly from the source, and we can confirm one undeniable truth: Senior Citizens love Fireball. Remember it in college? Bleh. The cinnamon flavor, an abomination. But who are we to argue with years of wisdom?” Fireball seems to appeal to an older demographic.

Well, now Fireball is offering a lifetime supply of the whiskey, but there’s a catch. They only consider people 90 years old and up.
For example, in Ohio, Florence Hackman celebrated her 106th birthday with a chocolate cake and a shot of fireball. She got the nickname of “Fireball Flo”. The whisky maker also wants a short essay and a photograph of the person enjoying Fireball. So, if you’re feeling spicy and well…. desperate try Fireball! Sorry folks I just can’t stand it. My hats off to those who can. The senior discount starts March 25, and ends on March 31st.  They draw the winner on April 7, 2025.

In another What in the World story, A United Airlines flight headed from Los Angeles to China had to turn around and return back to the airport. Here’s the thing, All 257 passengers and 13 crew members flying over the Pacific Ocean bound for Shanghai were two hours into the flight when the plane turned around and went to San Francisco. Why? Because the pilot forgot his passport.

The flight landed in shanghai about six hours behind schedule. Oh wait, that’s not all, what would make you whole for this situation? A Refund? Free tickets? A signed 5×7 glossy of John Farley? No. The passengers were offered meal vouchers as compensation, they told the media. So, what happens when you lose your passport on the flight? At your destination you will be detained until they can verify who you are. Jail in China? Or a six hour late flight? Discuss.
