American Airlines had a captain's flight announcement go viral. Find out why and how exactly does it tie into a story of 7-11 employee beating someone with a mop handle?! Dan and Nicole share their take on both topics. We also hear a bit about Dan's trip to New Jersey and the part of the airport where you really see humanity in all its forms.
