until place that is clean and sanitized. i want to cover exactly what that means. >> okay. >> when you go to the salon to get these eye lash extensions you should be making sure that your technician is washing their hands and using gloves. the second most important thing there's going to be these blue bags that is how they sanitize the tools and sterilize them. if your tools the tweezers and scissors they use to place those eye lashes do not come out of a sealed blue bag like this, you should not be using those or you should ask the technician that's placing those eye lashes hay are my tools sterilized. shouldn't be of a phoned by that this is your eye you're dealing with when they don't use sterilized tools you get infections, you can get scratches to the eye. >> ouch. >> very dangerous stuff. >> so it's not that it's unsafe but you have to follow these safety procedures. >> arrive ten to 15 minutes earlier before your appointment so you can test that glue. one of the top things i see in female patient who's get extensions is
8:33 am

8:50 am
night hot shots a group of firefighters who risked over to protect a town from a historic wildfire in the real life story as lost people know, there were all of them lost their lives except for one who had gone back to camp essentially he was looking out for the weather. but it is tragic story, and josh brolin is the lead of the film. he plays eric marsh in the movie last night i went to the premier here in los angeles. a lot of the family members were there of the fallen firef firefighters, and it was just emotional screening. very emotional being in that crowd last night watching that film. i walk out and saw miles teller and josh brolin and james batch dell who plays the characters in the film. sitting down with real life survivor today that miles teller plays in the movie. so i'm interested to hearing their thoughts on that, and it's very fascinating how they were able to pull this film off with the filming of the fire seq sequences i'm interested to to talk to the director and the cast about that and also taylor kitch much that's all today here in los angeles. >> such a tragic story. going to be tough to tal
8:51 am
witness survivor today. >> yeah. real life person. >> i was honestly -- i was really move by the story. i know that it happened years ago, but i just -- i wasn't familiar with how tragic it r really was. that essentially all of them lost their lives except for the one survivor. it's a very tough story to watch. i'll interested to hear the actors talk about meeting with the families and the wives and the kids and kind of what that process was for them. >> let's switch it up gone from real life heroes to the world of super heroes. everybody coming together, kev. >> yeah. justice league is coming out in november 1 of the most anticipated films of the year. yesterday trailer was released online. we can start rolling it now if you want to see it but essentially it started off you had these cool moments with wonder woman and aqua man. one of the cool parts of the trailer if you saw batman versus superman henry calfville's superman died at the end. we saw the dust raise and we knew he was going to come back somehow. but this trailer kind of gives a glimpse into maybe what
8:52 am
see chenevey calfville in the latest justice league film it's a dream sequence in the beginning we see him in the fields and amy adams walks out of the some of the cool moments in the trailer i liked were the combination of all of them working together. it's very very wonder woman heavy. i'm not sure if you guys are familiar with the history of this. zac schneider was directing his film. he left the project after his daughter committed suicide, and josh weeden actually stepped in to help finish the film and doree seats shoots. the phlegm has a lot of history in regards to the changing of the film makers, the total elements of it. i'm interested to see how the movie kind of comes together with all of these things that were happening obviously surrounding it. the director change and things like that. so i know that zac schneider will still get directing credit. weeden came to help out with the reshoot. i'm interested to see how that will play out in the large scheme of the movie and ben of a flashback and forth whether he'll stay on batman for the solo film that. film comes
