All right, you're taking a live look
at the Ben Franklin Parkway right there, or actually
the art museum right there.
All right.
Folks, this one's going to be an interesting one
because you got Drew and I up here for this one.
But here we go.
Who should pay the bill on a date?
According to Julia Fox, it should always be the man.
And now she's reimbursing women who have split the bill.
I hate that on a date.
Here we go.
She's teaming up with dating websites seeking
for the anti-50-50 campaign.
The campaign offers $50 to women
who split the check or paid a bill on a date.
To apply, you have to create a Seeking account,
share details about the date, and upload a receipt.
The fund will stay open until February 10th,
or until $50,000 have been claimed.
Now, according to Seeking,
68% of women won't go on a second date if the bill was split.
Good.
They also say the average cost of a date
in the United States is about $189.
What?
Which is up.
12.5% this year.
So you're saying, good, now you see the price.
A lot of people in the comments are reacting to the campaign.
One person says, quote,
my favorite was a man who offered to pay the bill in full,
but then when I wouldn't kiss him on the way home
or let him into my flat.
Flat?
Well, he's from the UK.
Yeah, he's from the UK.
From my flat, I got a PayPal request an hour later
for half the bill.
Wow.
Another person wrote,
why would you not split the bill if you both work?
I can see that.
Okay.
Your thoughts?
I'll jump in on it, but go ahead, go ahead, go ahead.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll let you start.
Yeah.
Here's my thought on all this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Whoever asks that person out is the one that pays.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, yeah, if I ask you, say, hey, do you want to come to dinner?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm the one putting the bill.
Yeah.
If you ask me, hey, do you want to come?
Yeah.
You're the one.
Yeah.
I don't like the idea on a date that you split.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think maybe once or twice I've done it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know that one's not going to be a winner
Yeah.
Yeah.
if you're splitting the bill, right?
Yeah.
You're acting like friends.
Someone's got to take the tab.
Yeah, I, so, growing up, I did always pay for, you know,
dates, like, that was just kind of what I did, but,
like, as I got older, I realized, like, you know,
I mean, Mr. Scrooge over here. No, I mean, well, just reading that.
And then when we saw like the amount it costs for a date, 200 bucks.
I mean, in Philly, you go out to dinner,
your dinner is going to be at least 120, 140 bucks. You're right.
And the problem is, if folks have hustling mentalities like myself,
there are people that go on dates just to go for a free meal.
Oh, we know. There are people that do that.
So you do have to be careful about that. I think.
Probably even that's the reason why maybe the first date needs to be
something in like people have talked about this and been upset, but
Not an expensive thing, like maybe just grab a cup of coffee
to see if you even relate to that person first before going, hey,
we're going to get a steak dinner and all this type of stuff.
And next thing you know, you know, they're ordering the steak,
the lobster, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And you don't see them, you know, ever again.
So that's what I do.
I call them auditions.
So I audition a person.
It's not a date.
I'm just meeting up with them, do a coffee,
do something that's free, doesn't really cost any money, no money.
And then I'm like, oh, okay, this person.
They got a call back, then we can go to dinner.
Then we can actually have a real date.
But the first time, it's a meeting.
Someone we work with calls them a meet and greet.
Oh, a meet and greet.
Yeah, I call them on audition, a meet and greet.
So they're like, it's low stakes.
Like you said, you want to see if you're
even just compatible with that person.
Can you actually talk to this person?
Yeah, that's exactly right.
So that's where I stand.
And yeah, I think we're in the same ballpark.
For sure.
All right.
Well, thanks, folks, for waking up with us.
But we're continuing on Fox Local.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're still on Fox Local.
We're on Fox Local right now.
Yeah, we're on Fox.
We left Fox 29.
They have a football game on right now over in Germany.
But stick with us.
I mean, you can watch the game and then,
you know, have Fox Local in your hand.
You can watch both.
Come on.
Let's go to New England.
Let's get that $50.
All right, man.
Let's go.
From the Fox 29 studios, this is Good Day Philadelphia Weekend.
All right, we're taking a live look at Skytop, Pennsylvania.
Ooh, today would be a nice day to play some golf.
Yeah, it's a little windy, though.
Hey, you're a golfer.
You do tournaments.
Remember that?
You took a day off to go to a tournament.
You know where my ball would be going?
Right there, that body of water.
Nah.
That's where it would be going.
Well, good day, everyone.
It is Sunday, November 15th.
I'm Greg Payne.
We are so glad you're starting your morning off with us.
And Drew, I was about to take a trip to New England,
and then I realized.
We've got to hold another hour.
Yeah, so we're just on the 9 o'clock today
because we started at 7 o'clock today,
which was news to me at 6.55, true story.
And here we are.
When are we going back to our normal schedule?
Because the week before, or two weeks before,
it was the Halloween thing.
And it was like...
Is that the day we also started at 7 a.m.?
Yes, yes.
And the clocks, what did it do?
It went back, right?
Yeah, it did go back.
Yeah, I confused you so much on that one.
And then you and I, and even our producer,
everyone was out last Sunday.
Sue was in, Morgan was in, Alex,
who does our stream show, was producing.
Yeah.
But now we're almost back.
Next week, everything's back to normal, all right?
Yeah, yeah, we'll be good.
Yeah, it starts at 8, right, next week?
What time is it?
I don't even know.
Well, it's 8 now, so I mean, wait, when do we actually normally start?
It is 8, right?
It's usually 8 o'clock.
See, now I'm more confused.
Okay, yeah, okay, all right, all right, so yeah.
Now this would essentially be our normal program.
Yeah, so many people are tuning in right now have
no idea we were just going from 7 to 8.
No.
They're just tuning in. It's normal. It's near 8 o'clock to start.
We're all warmed up. We're seasoned up.
We've been goofing off for an hour.
We're ready. We're cooking right now.
And you're cooking with that forecast because you've got
some nice weather for us until the tail end of the weekend.
Well, great. We're cooking up some sun this morning.
How about this down the street?
Oh, look at those clouds. Those, by the way, are stratocumulus.
See how they're poppy but not super tall?
We're going to get stratocumulus later this afternoon.
I opened up the meteorology textbook today.
Because we're going to have destabilization
this afternoon to cause some stratocumulus clouds.
Look at me paying off with my Penn State degree.
I mean, my folks put out a lot of money for that.
Got to use that every once in a while.
So let's take you live right around the region right now.
Just to show you, it's not that windy, just a gentle breeze.
Hey, a good looking sign at the airport.
We'll see what happens to me today.
I have a flight.
I have this cool, I have another trip.
I have a cool trip planned,
but I got to get out to California to take the trip.
Here's what's going on.
I have a layover in Nashville.
My flight out of Philly is already delayed.
I have already missed my layover in Nashville.
I'm going to roll the dice and hope.
That, like, gets delayed.
If it doesn't, then I'm going to Nashville.
I'll get some In-N-Out Burger,
that famous burger chain on the West Coast.
They now have it in Nashville.
And I thought, there's worse problems
to have than to get stuck in Nashville.
How will I get home?
We'll figure it out.
There's buses, right?
But I'm hoping I get out to L.A. to go over to some islands,
to go over to Australia.
But I'll be back next weekend.
We'll see what happens, right?
If not, I'll be...
Doing live shots from the National Airport for our 5
o'clock stream right here on Fox Local Philadelphia with Sheba Russell.
Blue skies for now.
A little later this afternoon,
you'll notice a lot more clouds in the sky because we get
that destabilization and we see more and more strato-cumulus.
40s, so it's cold when you step out the door.
There's those grayer clouds.
So they start out as white, fluffy ones, and then they get gray,
and that's what's all the way for later today.
In terms of the wind, it's not gusting
at the moment, but it will be later.
Up to 25, just like yesterday.
And like yesterday, it'll stop close to sunset.
Because it is sunnier to at least start than yesterday,
that's why we get the 50s before the clouds really take over.
Watch the destabilization on future clouds and future radar.
So there you go.
You'll have some breaks, and then they
just take over, and then they break up.
See how they're just broken like that?
That's how you know they're stratocumulus.
And what's happening is really cold, windy air.
It's getting hit with sun, and it just sparks these types of clouds
when it's abnormally cold in the upper levels of the atmosphere.
Tonight, we'll clear the board.
Everyone goes down into the 30s, a
little frost to start you on a Monday.
Not quite as gusty on Monday,
but still a little bit of a breeze for sure.
Don't rake on Monday because of that,
but Tuesday, Wednesday, there's no more wind.
It's all about that sun,
and I'm talking full sunny skies right across that seven-day.
That is Check the Forecast now.
Let's get a check of the roads.
Alright, everything is good to go.
So last hour we had an issue on the Pennsylvania Turnpike
as you approach Ben Salem heading over to Burlington County.
Clear. Everything's fine. Look at all that green. Man, I'm jealous.
If you're hitting the road, I left to go to one of our live shots.
I went to the dog show where Ellen is this morning yesterday after
our original newscast from 8 to 10 and I was there from 11 to 1.
I ran into so much traffic on 76.
I would love to hit the roads right now.
And jump on roads like this.
Here's 42 in New Jersey.
Nothing on the board, which means there's
no issue on any of the major roads in New Jersey,
or even Delaware for that matter,
as we do a little freeze frame here right by the Christiana Mall.
All right, here's the deal.
It's not that windy out.
It's because the camera is so zoomed in.
The slightest breeze is getting it to move around.
And we're looking at the airport.
Just keep an eye on conditions there.
Here's 95 by the stadiums.
I want to say the Fly Guys play today, but I have zero idea.
A Sixers play today. Thank you, Megan, in our ear.
Our MVP. Flyers at seven. Flyers play today, too?
Oh, it's a double. Oh, I love this.
Bob Kelly calls it a double bubble. Let it be Bob Kelly.
Good morning, everybody.
I can't tell.
Bob is the man.
Double bubbles, he would say.
Sixers at one.
Flyers at seven.
More traffic on 95 today.
Megan, thank you so much for someone that forgot to double check
when the teams are playing.
Starting to slow down just a touch on 95 as you approach Philadelphia.
Coming in from, say, Bucks County or New Jersey.
This, by the way, is north of Center City by the Betsy Ross Bridge.
That's a check of the roads and a check of your sports.
We'll send it back to you, Craig.
All right, Drew, thank you very much.
We're taking a live look over the Philadelphia International Airport,
where Drew is going to be heading relatively soon.
Well, the ground stop may be over,
but the fallout continues to cause chaos for travelers.
This time-lapse shows how the airspace
cleared during that ground stop on Friday.
The Trump administration says new technology
was added to the nation's air traffic control system,
leading to communications and radar gaps.
Right now, more than 70 flights are delayed
or canceled in Philadelphia alone.
Yesterday, PHL had more than 400 delays and cancellations.
We heard from one woman who flew all the way from Japan
where her husband was stationed in the military.
She says she was stuck on the runway with her 13-month-old
for three hours before the flight was canceled.
Finally got here. Now we're waiting for an Uber.
He's not happy.
Tired, you know, jet-lagged for sure, this one is.
So it's hard, you know.
He just wants down, wants to play.
Can't do that when we're sitting on an airplane for three hours.
Well, officials are hopeful everything will be operating normally
by the Thanksgiving travel rush.
Well, in Montgomery County, the National Dog Show is underway,
and Ellen is there.
And I got to tell you, folks, all this morning,
Ellen is living her best life right now.
She is enjoying this.
I really am, Greg. I am an animal lover.
I have a dog and a cat. So when I got this assignment,
I was so happy. Everyone is so nice.
The show started at eight o'clock. These are some of the
smaller areas where the dogs are competing.
And they've just gone through a lot of grooming and,
you know, people, they're brushing their hair
and drying them with hair dryers. And they are just
having so much fun, everyone out here.
But this is fierce competition. I mean, this is the 147th
Dog Show, the Kennel Club of Philadelphia Dog Show,
and everyone is just thrilled to be here
and to show the dogs off, show their certain breeds, ask questions.
They love, everyone I've been talking
to say they just love when people come up.
and ask questions about their dog.
I want to introduce you now to Sandra.
She came from North Carolina and Clover.
I thought my dog Ruby was sweet,
but I think Clover might beat my dog. She is the sweetest,
sweetest dog. I thought she was like not fully awake. She was so
docile and laid back. Always this sweet, always.
So you came from North Carolina.
Tell me a little bit about Clover. And I want to
say Sandra dressed in green for Clover. I love how you're
I actually bred her and I owner-handle her.
She is amazing.
She does every sport we've introduced her to.
And she's actually shown with my son for the last year
in juniors and won a lot.
And how many years have you been here?
This is my first year at the National Dog Show,
but I've been in Border Collies for 15 years.
And you said that Clover just had some babies.
She did. She had eight puppies about five months ago.
Wow. Hi, Clover.
I love it. And what do you love about this?
I've met so many nice people, and you must love when people come up
and talk to you about Clover and about the breed.
Honestly, this breed is just the coolest
because they do everything you ever want them to.
All of mine are really sweet and snuggly and friendly.
All loving the camera and our photographer, Michael Lefwich.
They all love him.
So Michael's having fun, too.
So Greg, this is just one example of these amazing dogs.
I mean, they are so sweet,
and they are just getting groomed and taken care of and ready
to compete.
So it goes until 6 o'clock tonight,
and there are still some tickets at the door.
12,000 people are expected to turn out and 2,000 dogs competing.
It's my new best friend.
Mwah.
Mwah.
Don't tell Tink.
My other friend Tink might be upset by that.
Thank you for that.
.
.
.
That dog is looking right at Michael, your photographer.
I know.
I think it's one at first sight.
Do it again.
Look.
Look at that. I think Michael needs to adopt one
of these guys. Look at that. Oh, my gosh.
I don't think Sandra's giving up Clover, though.
Oh, no. This is my girl. This is my girl.
But I think all these dogs are in love
with Michael Lefkowitz. I think you're right, Greg.
I think so. All right. Well, Ellen, thank you very much.
Well, coming up on Good Day Weekend,
there's no Eagles game today for their bye week and fans
are definitely hoping they come back stronger. We're taking a look
at how this disappointing season could be affecting local businesses.
