Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, that's right. You heard the man. The Ben Mallor
Show just keeps Roland right along Ben with some very
well deserved time off. My name is Bernie Fraddles, sitting
in for Ben. We are coming you live for the
tyrac dot Com studios here in the Las Vegas Fox
Sports Radio. By the way, Las Vegas, one hundred and
fifteen degrees for the fifth straight day. Actually it was
(00:22):
one hundred and eighteen today, one hundred and eighteen yesterday,
one hundred and twenty on Sunday, yes, one hundred and twenty.
I don't want to say it was hot, but I
saw thief stealing hubcaps using oven mits. But I digress.
Tyrack dot com I'll help you get there. That match selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazer protection and over ten thousand
recommend an installers. Tyrack dot com the way tire buying
(00:44):
should be. We all fly. We love to fly. Save
us mode of transportation systems overwrought. But I think the
people buying large do a great job. But our fellow compatriots,
our fellow passengers, aren't always so demure when it comes
to airline behavior. You have a tendency to piss each
(01:05):
other off, even if it's subtly and passively. And most
of the time I don't say anything because you don't
want to end up on CNN punching somebody in the nose. Right,
You don't want to go Mike Tyson on somebody. You
may feel like it, but you're not gonna do it.
You can't play up there. Man. You don't have the
same rights. You just you don't. Okay, So we're gonna
have a little fun with the crew tonight. You recall
last time I was on a couple times ago. We
(01:26):
continue on with the Ben Mallar conversation, the cart in
the parking lot and supermarket annoyances, and then then we
did a thing on tipping. The tipping, you know, the
the pressure that people feel the tip. Right, you walk in,
you buy a cup of coffee, the hand you the
thing and you're supposed to tip, and they gave you
the look, and well you get the picture. Well, how
about flying. It's the summer, everybody flies. I've flown nine
(01:48):
times since May first. I've been to Detroit a couple
of times, Houston, Paris, Lone, and blah blah blah blah.
Before I get started, I want to go around the crew.
I have a question. This is a relatively recent phenomenon
used to you know, you print your ticket, you look
at the little QR code and you hand them the
ticket by paper or they you do it yourself and
(02:09):
you run it across the little glass green. You beep
and you can get on the plane, or you can
bring up your boarding pass on your phone. Lorene, I'll
start with you. When you board a plane, do you
use your phone or the paper ticket?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well, it really depends. I actually prefer to have the
ticket on my wallet on my phone so that it's
super easy to get to. But this past time, since
I checked in at the front, they gave me a
paper version as well.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Okay, which is your preference?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I like the phone.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Okay, fair enough. Hold that thought, Eddie. Do you use
your phone or do you print the paper ticket?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Just recently started using the phone, which is probably better
for me because I'm always paranoid about losing things. I
haven't lost my phone yet, but paper ticket is something
I could definitely probably lose or or usually I'm so
paranoid about it all it in my hand like for
the entire time I'm waiting for the to start boarding,
(03:04):
so I'm okay switching over to the phone.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Fair enough, how about you coop?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I mostly use the phone, but if I am checking bags,
then they typically ask would you like your boarding pass printed?
And that case I will say yes.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Fair enough. Appreciate everybody's honesty. All right, I'm the turd
in the punch bowl in this one. I never used
the phone. I only use paper. And I'll tell you why.
When they take you to board, you know, they go
through the litany of things a thousand times and they
tell you, Okay, if you're gonna be using your phone,
make sure it's on its brightest to make sure. Here's
(03:42):
what throws me for a loop. I'm ready to take
a hostage. Half the people to get up there, they
haven't checked their phone, so their phone goes to the
black screen. Then they got to bring it up and
they standing there. Well, everybody, wait, so if you've got
a paper thing, you slam it right on. That just
drives me bananas. I have no problem people want to
use their phone, But if you get up there, it's
like being a long line in a sandwich shop. You've
(04:03):
had twelve minutes to decide what the hell you want,
and all of a sudden, you get up there with
that blank look on your face, like you're trying to
wander through the mall parking lot and forgot where you
parked your car and you don't know what to want
to order, even though you've had twelve minutes to decide.
The phone thing for me again, people, if you want
to use it, fine, I get it. I'm the door here.
I just used the paper because you know what, I
don't have to worry about the screen being light. I
(04:25):
don't have to worry about whether the screen's going to
go black or it's at the proper brightness or whatever.
I swear to God.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yes, you say that, you compare using your phone to
maybe an old woman trying to count her change at
a grocery market when they're trying to check out.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I would say that's an apt comparison, okay, but I
can I can deal with the old woman counting change.
She's trying to get long in life right. But I
want to get on a damn plane and get my
nap going right or whatever the hell does I do?
You know they bored these planes or you know three
hundred and sixty people they're trying to board them within
twenty five thirty minutes. All right, I'll get off that one.
That's my own personal hang up. If anybody here, have
(05:05):
you at least observed what I'm describing. Where you get
in line, or you see people in line, or now
they're boarding group six, or they're boarding group two, and
you're waiting and you're watching, and they get up there
and they put the phone and it's not capturing. You're
waiting for the beep and the beat never quite comes,
and it's partly because of their own fault because they
haven't checked their phone and the screen when black. Has
anybody else observed that I'm i the only idiot here?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Well, I've been guilty of it, to be honest with you,
I've been that person and the guy has to grab
my phone and adjust my screen and put up the brightness.
But it only takes like thirty seven seconds, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Multiply that times three hundred people, and then I get
ready to take a hostage. All right, let's move on.
This is my hang up. This didn't make the list,
by the way, didn't even make the list. I just
wanted to kind of do a quick check up. Let's
talk about the hog, the armrest bandit when you encounter that, Eddie,
let's start with you. I'm sure everybody's encountered that. Your
thoughts on that? How annoying is that?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Well, for quite a while now, I've just been traveling.
I usually I don't travel without my wife. Uh so
she's the one always sitting next to me, so I
don't you know, it's like not a big deal. So
I haven't really encountered that anytime lately.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Fair enough, this made the list, though, you know they
I don't know who does these, uh the surveys, but
it made the list. Coop your thoughts on the arm
rest bandit?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
That?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
How does the whole arm rest?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I'm like Eddie here, I'm usually traveling with my.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Wife and my gosh only single person.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
If so, she's sitting in the middle seat, so I
never really have to deal with that.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Does she hog the arm rest?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Sometimes?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay? She does?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Well, you know, and sometimes she does. We don't even
like have the arm rest down the one between us.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I got you, all right, I might have whiffed on
those in Loreno. All right, bring us fulham on this one.
H Well.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I just flew last weekend and I was sitting next
to an arm rest hog very rude, gentlemen, I'm away small.
The fact that you feel it's okay to and like
invade my space is not okay. Like I couldn't even
put my arm on the arm rest and my arm
would touch his arm, you know, like you're in my space.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
This is my boy. Well, you know, I kept on trying.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
To nudge him, you know where you like kind of
like move, and they didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Take a hand.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
They don't get it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And didn't take a hand. No, well you don't. The
thing about it is if you play it right, because
I like an arm rest just as much as the
next guy. If you play it right, both people can
share it. Right, you kind of figure you stake out
your territory. You want the back end of the arm
right with the front end. Sometimes you give him the
first right, just saying all right, here's another one that
made the list. People kicking the back of your seat.
(07:44):
Eddy of you experienced that.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
One a little kid probably U probably experience that.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yo, Yes, and you just kind of let it go
or after a while do you kind of turn around
or what do you do? Uh?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Usually just let it go.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, I kind of usually let it go as well.
But it is. It is annoying a little bit. Uh lurana,
if you had the person kicked the back of your.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Seat, I am the person kicking your seat, Bernie.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
He's just like intentional or just not really paying attention.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, I'm just so uncomfortable in that little space, Like
I'll put my feet up. I'm really flexible, so I'll
put my feet up like on the back of the
head rest.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, okay, all right, cool.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But I try to be I try to be nice
about it too, Like I'm not over there like bing
bing bing bing bing bing bing, Like I'll just put.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
One constant bit of pressure on the back of your seat.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Anybody, coop. Anybody kicked the back of your seat in
a recent flight?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yep, it happened to me just uh less than a
week ago.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
It was Was it a little kid or was it? No?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
It was it was me, Bernie. It was it wasn't adult.
But I think it wasn't so much that they were
just like kicking the back of seats, Like they kept
you know, getting up and grabbing things, and every time
they did that and moved, they like need the back
of the seat.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So this is gonna kind of morph into the next one,
how about the person in front of you that reclines
their seats so far, they're just about break both your knees. Eddie,
let's go back to you. If you had that situation
where a person in front of you reclines their seat
with little regard for the person behind them.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, so far, I would say that's my most annoying
one that you've brought up so far. And it's like
as soon as they get in, it's like the first
thing they do is put the seat back, and that's
pretty annoying.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And not just during meal service. I mean you know this,
I tell you know. All these had percentages thirty one
percent of the people that surveyed these respondents, so this
was by far their biggest annoyance. Coop if you had
someone recline their seat in front of you and kind
of record day.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
No, this one does not bother me at all. Okay,
the seats are uncomfortable as it is, yes, and I'm
going to recline my seat so I won't have any
problem with somebody else reclining their seat. I'm going to
recline it as far as I can recline it, which
isn't very far because I'm and coach.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Well, and that's fair and to be I tell you
the truth, I don't even bother reclining my seat anymore
because they're so uncomfortable to begin with. And every now
and then I'll buy a business class or first class
if I'm feeling saucy, and it's actually kind of worth it.
But I realized by reclining my seat, I don't feel
any more comfortable, so I I you know, I don't
(10:22):
know that the person behind me notices or cares. They
don't thank you, Hey, thanks for not reclining your seat,
none of that. But I'm kind of with you. This
one doesn't bug me that much about Lorena. The person
in front of you reclining their seat get getting even
more into your space. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
If they do that, Bernie, I start throwing things at
their heads.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Is that right? Anything in particular.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I'm in a little paper wrappers or something, get on
my face.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Bro, all right, this one drives me nuts. You know,
the person who really should have checked their bag and
they don't check their bag, and they're manipulating that overhead
bin and they're it's like trying to stuff eight pounds
of minor in a four pound bag and everybody's watching,
and you hold it up the line and like, oh no,
not you please. That one really annoys me. Eddie the
(11:10):
person trying this stuff the overhead bin, yes or no.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
If it's if it's keeping us from like, you know,
taking off or something. If they're taking that long, it's
kind of annoying. But otherwise I actually find it a
little bit entertaining because they like take it out and
put it back in, rotate it, and then they like
put it back in the same way that they just did,
thinking it's gonna be different this time, but it isn't,
so I find it kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Got a tweet from Case the car hauler. It says,
I'm far more annoyed by the person who is in
line at the sandwich shop. That's someone who is prepared
to board the plane. That's fair. I mean, we're all
we're all gonna leave at the same time. We're all
gonna get on the plane. They want to get out
of here, all right, All right, now we're gonna await
hive And let's see, did I leave off with you, Coop?
Did we do we talk to you about the No,
(11:53):
we have it. We haven't talked to you about the
stuffing the overhead been with an oversized bag?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Okay, So my thing on this is normally when we're boarding,
unless I am in like a premium economy or something
like that where I have a priority boarding, I just
wait until we're like the last ones to get on
the plane because then I can just chill in my
chair at the gate and there's none of this like hurting.
(12:21):
I hate the hurting, and so I don't deal with
the stuffing the overhead bin because I'm usually the last
one on and everybody's sitting down already. But my by
far biggest pet peeve when flying is getting off the plane.
I don't understand why it takes everybody so long. It's like,
stand up, grab your bag and go. I don't understand
(12:44):
it how hard that is When it's my turn. I'm
out of there in the second, but yet we stand
there forever, and I just it's I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
That's a good one. That's actually not on this list,
but that's one that's one of my biggest annoyances too.
Times you're stuck back in row twenty eight and you've
landed and you're at the gate and so have we
started moving yet and you're looking up front of what
is going on? You know that's that's a good one, uh, Lorena.
Any thoughts on this subject.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Well, for me, it's I'm one of those people once again.
I'm gonna shove my bag as full as I possibly can,
because how dare you charge me seventy dollars to check
my bag?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Okay, if I can squeeze it, I'm gonna squeeze it, okay.
And if I have to be that damsel in distress
and some big bulky man has to stand.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Up, but you need hope putting your bag up there.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Ma'am, I'm gonna say yes, I do, because it's heavy
and I can't lift this thing on my own. I
am not just the burden.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I am all of it. I am, I am the problem.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
This is good. I'm enjoying this. Now. We're gonna ratchet
this up quite a bit. And by the way, we
have to give the flat attendants their due. We're gonna
weigh in in a little bit on what pisses them off.
But we're gonna to ratchet this up and we're gonna
get into some weird This stuff happens on planes. And
(14:05):
by the way, what I just described there pisces off
women ten percent more than men. But if you ever
been next to somebody drunk or took off their shoes,
or maybe you just want to chill, you don't feel
like talking and they won't stop talking. We're gonna continue
to try to solve these societal problems coming up.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
All right, thanks Eddie. We wrap this up before we
get to the flight attendant perspective. But we got three
doozies here, all right. I don't even want to couch
this one. Have you ever been on a plane next
to somebody who took off their shoes and their socks,
(16:09):
even just just taking off their shoes is a showstopper
for me. Socks too, I don't know man, I don't know.
All right, Lorraine, I gotta start with you on this one.
I can't wait to hear what you're gonna say about this.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, sometimes I don't even wear shoes to the airport,
ben A Bernie. So I mean, I'm kinda I'm that person.
I'll take off my shoes for sure. But I have
sweet feet. Okay, I do not have nasty feet. Some
people have gross feet. I take pictures of people's gross feet.
I'm gonna make an Instagram page, no joke.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
What do you get to call this?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
All feet are disgusting?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
No, no, they're not.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah, they're gross gross.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well what about you, Coop?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I take I've taken off my shoes on the plane before.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I bet your feet stink.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
They don't believe it or not. This is where we
take a left turn because this survey, forty five percent
of the respondent said they find an incredibly annoying when
passengers remove their footwear on a flight. Taking off your
socks and or taking off your shoes is they say,
It's bad enough, socks makes it even worse because you're
(17:18):
in a confined space. And okay, this is what the
service said, everyone has to smell your feet. Well, you know,
if it's properly groomed, man, maybe your feet don't you know?
Right ways to get around this. Man. We have plenty
of technology, but it's just there's something about it, and
I think it's more of a dude thing.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
And I would never take my socks off, right, That's
that's a little bit much. But also I've I've what's
the what's the phrase I'm looking for? I've had this
come back to bite me because I took my shoes
off and it was this one was kind of fine
because I was on It was on the way back
from my honeymoon. So I'm flying back from Japan. We're
(17:54):
in premium economy, so there's only two seats in the row,
so it's just me and my wife, and I took
my shoes off because you know, it's a long flight.
And then by the end, I guess so when you're flying,
I guess your feet's well. And so towards the end,
when I went to go put my shoes back on,
they did not fit. I could not get my feet
(18:16):
in the shoes. Really, yes, it was I heard that.
I was panicking.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
It was.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
It hurt because I'm like trying, I have to get
off the plane, and I can't get my shoes off.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I've never heard of that.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Crazy, I've actually, I've actually heard of that phenomenon, Eddie.
Is someone removing their shoes your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I mean, you know, hopefully they're you know, they they're
courteous enough. Yeah, they they don't have stinky feet and shoes.
I would say, shoes off is fine for a long flight,
but keep the socks on.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, yep, you know, fair enough, fair enough, Although I
think we have to throw a hall pass. Lorena brings
up a couple of good points, so we'll move on
to the and this one by far made the list.
Sixty nine percent of American adults said this behavior is
by far the most annoying someone who's drunk and disruptive
(19:11):
on a plane. Now, I think I've only experienced at
once in all my time at driving, laretait you experience
that just last weekend? She oh boy, do tell, do
tail tell?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Horrible?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
She got on the plane. She was in front of
me and she could not get her bag in the hole.
Let's just start there, Okay. I had to help her,
and it's not like I was more strong than she was.
She was definitely a more sturdy girl than me. Anyway,
She's like, I'm so sorry, I've just had like seven
drinks at the bar. Don't mind me. And then she
goes and squeezes into the middle seat between these two men,
(19:46):
and she is so obnoxiously loud the whole flight, and
she's cussing, she's being vulgar, and she keeps on using
her being as a drunk as an excuse. She's like,
I'm so sorry, I'm just drunk. I'm so sorry, I'm
just drunk. I'm like, if you say it again, girl, oh,
I swear to goodness.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Thank god she sat in front of you. I was
about to ask if she hogged the armrest too right,
that would be like a double whammy. And then she
took off for shoes, that'd be like a triple whammy.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
When she turned around and started talking to me and
the baby behind me, I was like, no, we're done.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Oh boy, this doesn't sound fun, Coop. Have you ever
been around somebody drunk and disruptive on a plane? I don't.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
The first time that I ever saw any sort of
you know, airplane rage, it was in the airport. It
was a few weeks ago. I was flying back from
Vegas and I built my first ever and hopefully last
ever Spirit flight. And yeah, the flight was delayed like
(20:55):
almost three hours, and there was no like everybody was
there and the crew was there, but they had no pilots.
The pilot didn't show up. And this guy threw a
drink at the gate attendance.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, they had to arrest him.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
That's well, I mean he like he threw it and
it it no sooner hit the like the desk area
than he was like booking it the other direction.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, oh okay, Yeah, any drunk and disruptive, No.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Not on the airplane. Plenty of them at the football
games I go to. It's they're everywhere. But no, not
on the airplane thing.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
But you're in that too, But thirty five thousand feet though,
not a lot of options. I've been you know, I
haven't seen any of that. I have. I've been fortunate
I haven't. But lorrain, you kind of touched on something.
It's also one of the biggest complaints of passengers when
you're sitting some next to someone who's just a little
too chatty. Thirty nine percent of survey respondence said, you
(22:00):
have to you have to read the room, and if
you don't want to strike up a conversation with your
seat mate, you got to respect that. Unfortunately, some people
will make small talk no matter what. Lorana, you go first.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, once again, this just happened on my last weekend flight.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Quite a cool weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Actually, I was wearing my Mario hat that I just
bought with the ears. I had raccoon ears on the flight,
and so it was a conversation starter off the bat.
They said, we saw you out in the lobby before
we even got on the plane, so nice to sit
next to you. And then it turned into like a
blind date all of a sudden, like it.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Was like question after question.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I'd look out the window and it's still a question.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
But he was nice.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Him and his friend were both very nice.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
But it wasn't bad conversation.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
As long as your breath doesn't stink and it's fluid,
it's okay. I don't mind it.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Okay. So in this particular case, you were open to it,
but there are sometimes you're on flights, you ever been
actually somebody who wants to talk your ear off and
you're not into it.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
No, that has never happened to me.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You don't have that face that says talk to me though.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Yes, that's exactly.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
What I already. Then, Eddie, you got the last word
on this.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
On this subject, I have a trick that I use,
but I have not traveled by myself on a plane
and quite some time, although I am doing it for
the malor meet and greet coming up here in just
a little bit in Vegas. By the way, Bernie, certainly
welcome to come out and say hi.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I'm gonna come by and say hello to you guys.
I want to do that very good.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
So my trick is and I even have used this
on people that I was traveling with that I didn't
want to talk to headphones.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Oh nicely done.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yes, put the headphones on or in this case nowadays,
the earbuds in and that takes care of it.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Clever.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
See that's how you do it. Peets, right, we're reasonable
people here. So this show has become a very didactic
and education people learning how to navigate and you know, look,
everybody I think can relate on some level to some
of the things we're talking about. One subject I didn't
get to Brad in Lost wages tweets in got to
add when people bring their leftover food from Panda Express
(24:16):
or tune on right, it's one of the most inconsiderate
things to do. Just to add to the Smelli topic,
that's very much on the list. I can't get to
all these there's a many of these things. But one
of the things I do want to get to because
I don't know that flight attendants are respected enough. Dennis
Miller used to rip on them. Ay, you sold your
life away for a free trip to Barbados to work
(24:36):
in a bad restaurant on thirty five thousand feet. That
was the snarky Dennis Miller. You don't want to be
on a flight without them. They're trained in ninety nine
point ninety nine nine percent of the time nothing ever happens.
But if some did, they know what to do. Plus
you do a really good job. Okay, like a drummer
in a band. If the drummer screws up, you hear them.
But if you didn't screw up, you don't hear him.
So I respect flight attendants, so they have a voice here,
(24:59):
all right. There are a couple things that really pits
them off. We gotta get to those next.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
We continue, ever so quickly. There are three key subject
matter issues that really piss off flat attendants. So I'll
go around the room. I'm guessing none of our crew
is guilty at ease, but answer the question to the
prism of the flat attendant, I think you might have
(25:31):
a little sympathy the first one. This really pisses flight
attendants off, according to the survey, not paying attention to
safety demonstrations. We've seen it a thousand times. You know,
there's your exits. In the unlikely event of a water landing,
your seat, you know, becomes a flotation device. Bob blah
blah drives the nuts when people sit there with headphones.
(25:54):
During the safety demonstration, one flat attendant said, always thinking
to myself if the ish hit the fan wouldn't have
a clue what to do. They really need to know
this information just in case, but they aren't experienced that.
The flight attendt said. They don't care because they it'll
never happen to them. They think they know everything already.
It never hurts to have a refresher because every plane's
(26:15):
just a little bit different, so you deal with it.
But they're up there doing their job and you're not
paying attention really pisses them off. Lorena, you got the floor.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Well, I'm torn on this because sometimes I'm really into
it when they're doing it right, like I'm like, oh wow,
they're super energetic and personable. But a lot of times
they don't really care. I just feel like they're not enthusiastic,
they're not smiling, they're not like if they want me
to watch, they should make it more entertaining, Like maybe
(26:48):
at every now and.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
In Southwest Airlines will put some you know, fifty thousand
comedians out of work, someone trying to break into the business.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, you've had one, right one who's really entertaining your life.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
You hello, like you're up there glowing right now. Like
make it to where I can't take my eyes off you,
or don't complain.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yes it can happen. Uh coop your thoughts. Uh. Flood
attendants offset because you're not paying attention during the safety demonstration.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I mean, I don't know, I don't I rarely pay
attention during the safety demonstration unless it's you know, when
I was on Singapore Airlines, they have it like it
pops up onto the screen in front of you and
watching a movie and like that. In that case, I'm
kind of forced to watch it because I was, you know,
picking my movie that I'm gonna watch during the flight,
(27:38):
and then I have to watch this little two minute
preview before the movie. And so that's fine. But when
it's the you know, fight attendant up there doing the motions,
I'm usually getting my last you know, sixty seconds of internet.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I make eye contact, but I can't lie. I'm not
always focused. I might not be listening, but I'll I'll wait.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
If you've you've flown like a number of times, what else?
What else do you need to know? The mask is
going to fall down in front of you, put your
mask on yourself first, then the other person. Uh, you know,
the exit rows are here, the life vest is under
your seat, and so like, I mean.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
That's pretty much it. Yeah, yeah, And I hate to
admit if that damn thing ever full of still don't
know how to do it. You know, you you wrapped
the thing, you buttoned up and you pull it and
it's okay. Wait, we're flying from Chicago to Denver on
a water landing. Forgive me, I don't want to go
to that road. Eddie, you got the last word on
this one.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah, I'll be honest. It seems like most of the
time the flight attendants don't give a crap about doing it.
They're they're going through the they're going through the motions.
They're just they've done it a million times. And I
don't blame them, and they know that most of the
people aren't paying attention anyway. So and I agree with Coop.
I've heard it all before. And I will say, along
with the lines of what Coop said, I remember taking
(28:52):
international flight on Air New Zealand and they had this
really entertaining video they showed and it was the All
Blacks rud B team, which I didn't know any of
these guys, but apparently, you know, if you know rugby,
you were like, oh, we've got these cameos or all
these star athletes doing it and it was something interesting.
So if you want me to pay attention, and you
know you're on a flight where you've got the little
(29:12):
video screen, do something entertaining, I'll pay attention to that.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Uh did we get so? Okay, we've got we've got
the all three on that one. This really pisses off
flight attendants asking a question are we gonna be on time? Today? Oh?
They hate that?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Lorenda thoughts, well, I'm sure everyone asks because everyone wants
to know. But I think airlines have done very well
about over Like they'll say, oh, your flight's gonna land
at three thirty, but it actually lands closer to three
point fifteen, So I think it actually.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
They cushy, they cushion it.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
So I think that's actually been helping a lot with
people being so antsy about the question.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Coop, Uh, how do you feel about flight attenants getting
miff when passenger c are we going to be on time?
Just like when they're mid air?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I just.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
It's like that's part of your job. I mean I've
never I've literally never asked that because on most flights
that you're on, I mean, if it's long enough to
where you have to ask that, if like you're gonna
be on time, then I feel like you've got one
of those screens in front of you, and on the
screens you can literally see where the plane is like
(30:25):
in you know, on a map, And uh, I don't
know other than.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
That, really good at that. By the way, you know,
I think some people get jiggy when they've got a
connector to make and you take off late, you know,
or nineteenth in line for takeoff, and now you're already
getting out forty minutes late and you only got an
hour and your connector and you're one and they're gonna
get your luggage train right.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
But once, once you're in the air, you should kind
of have an idea of how long it's gonna take
to get to your destination. It's not like you're gonna
run into traffic.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
See, I think you're I think you're right, You're you're
kind of making your point for them. And I think
if you fly every day or whatever the allotted hours month,
they're allowed to fly and it happens over the cumulative
effect of that, I think is what pisses them off.
You know, people ask them that, you know, are we
gonna be on time? Eddie. Of your thoughts on that,
I would say, handle it, hey, fair, that's fair. So look,
(31:17):
I think the bottom line is these are all like
little annoyances, like flies at a picnic. But sometimes they
add up right, and you know, there are some kind
of silly things that I think I'm just gonna add
live here for just a second. I don't know. Is
anybody ever sat in exit row and then they stand
and look at you. Are you willing to participate and
help people off the plane for crash? And they point
at you and you have to literally say yes or
(31:39):
you can't sit next to ro Have you guys ever
experienced that? Are you willing to help out? You know?
If we yes? Yes? What if you made a joke
or something to say, wh you gotta payby or what?
I don't know, it depends. That's like a serious thing.
Everybody always answers yes, and you have no idea the
one thing that used to slay me And they don't
do this anymore, do you guys? Remember when you be
checking in your bags and then fly and they the
(32:02):
attendant at the counter would say, or what have your
bags been in your possession of the entire time? Yes?
Have you packed any explosives in your bag? What? I mean,
who in their right mind thought this would be effective?
I mean, what are you gonna say? Yeah, I got
a glock nine and a couple of sticks of dynamite, nothing,
nothing to what you guys. Remember when they used to
(32:24):
say that if your flight bag's been in attendant, if
they've been in your possession of the entire time.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah, now they just kind of have an announcement going
over the thing. Make sure your bags are in your
possession the entire time, never leave them. And if you
see a bag by itself, report it to secure.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Right, it's right out of airplane. The white zonas for
unloading and unloading past. You know, I don't whoever thought
that was effective anyway, Look, we all like flying. We're
all reasonable people. Who knows Lorana may have met her
next love interest and we're gonna want to hear that
how that progresses. No, you're gonna keep that to your health. Okay, Well,
(33:02):
you know we're all rooting for you, Lorena. That's all
I can tell you. It's all I can tell you.
Good stuff by everybody. And by the way, coming up
at the top of the hour, I want to bring
the crew back in because we have all these storylines
in the NFL. And by the way, not the least
of which can the Kansas City Chiefs three peat? Will
Aaron Rodgers and the Jets overcome that hump? Can the
(33:24):
Lions get to their first ever Super Bowl. There are
all kinds of terrific storylines. By the way, Eddie's and
his wife's Los Angeles Chargers great hopes under Jim Harbaugh.
There's even a recent Joey Bosta. I don't know if
you saw that thing about somebody who's ripping on their food,
and Joey Bosa defended the cafeteria tenants, but then admit
he didn't need the food. Chargers I think are gonna
(33:46):
have a good year. But in spite of all of it,
what's in the freaking headlines? Dak Prescott, we're in a
boot cam Newton piss it and moaning that the Cowboys
really aren't America's team. Those are the headlines we got
to pick. We're going to talk about that at the
top of the AAR but coming up as as promised,
I gotta tell you, Drake, he's made a lot of money,
(34:09):
and I hope so because he's lost a lot. You know,
there was an old comedian back in the day, Milton
Burley used to say, I go on to the track tomorrow.
I hope I break even. I could use the money.
I'll tell you what when you hear Drake's betting blunders
going back a couple of months. He might be looking
for a loan. Actually, I'm sorry, this is kind of comical.
I will share with you Drake's betting blunders and coming up,
(34:30):
including something that just happened two nights ago, for like
about three hundred thousand dollars. I'm Bernie Fraddlewick Company, live
from Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio tirap dot com Studios
sit in for the great Ben Maller. Keep it locked.
You're listening to the Ben Mallor Show on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Thank you, Eddie memo to Drake. Stop betting. It's not
fun anymore, all right. The Canadian rapper posted on Instagram
the other night that he had bet three thousand check
that three hundred thousand dollars to win two point eight million,
that Larrouge would beat Argentina in Tuesday's Copo America semifinal.
(35:42):
They lost two to nothing. And then he got dissed
by Kendrick Lamar. And then he got dissed by the
Argentina team who said not like us, which was a
takeoff from the Kendrick Lamar disc. Can't make this stuff up,
So Drake's got a body at work. The losses keep coming.
(36:03):
He's lost a million in bitcoin the last two weeks
after losing two professional sports bets. Back on June sixth,
he bet five hundred thousand dollars on the Stanley Cup.
He bet that the Edmonton Oilers, who lost the Hockey
Championship to the Florida Panthers, he bet five hundred grand
that would have brought back one point one million loser.
(36:26):
That's number one. Then he turns around and guaranteed that
the Dallas Mavericks would win the NBA Finals. Bet one
hundred thousand, which would have brought back one point three
million the Boston Celtics won. They're starting to call it
the Drake curse, and we'd be here all night if
I started listing his bets. But that right there is
(36:47):
over one point three million. And what's interesting he bets underdogs.
This is the rule in Vegas. People come here to
bet a little to win a lot, bet a little
to make a little more. I don't know, maybe this
is some kind of marketing ployee, but he got this
pretty good by Kenna Dell Lamar, and then he got
this even better by the Argentina and soccer team. So
(37:10):
maybe Drake should take a little time off and not
bet so much, Although you know he's that's not what's
gonna happen. He's probably gonna back Argentina again. He can
get the money back if Argentina wins. Who knows what
he'll do. Columbia is on a twenty seven match on
beaten streak and Yorga has won the tournament fifteen times.
(37:31):
So find out who Drake bet and bet the opposite.
Keep it locked right here. This is Bernie Frattle sitting
in for the great Ben Maller. You're listening to the
Ben Mallor Show on Fox Sports Radio.
Well, that's right. You heard the man. The Ben Mallor
Show just keeps Roland right along Ben with some very
well deserved time off. My name is Bernie Fraddles, sitting
in for Ben. We are coming you live for the
tyrac dot Com studios here in the Las Vegas Fox
Sports Radio. By the way, Las Vegas, one hundred and
fifteen degrees for the fifth straight day. Actually it was
(00:22):
one hundred and eighteen today, one hundred and eighteen yesterday,
one hundred and twenty on Sunday, yes, one hundred and twenty.
I don't want to say it was hot, but I
saw thief stealing hubcaps using oven mits. But I digress.
Tyrack dot com I'll help you get there. That match selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazer protection and over ten thousand
recommend an installers. Tyrack dot com the way tire buying
(00:44):
should be. We all fly. We love to fly. Save
us mode of transportation systems overwrought. But I think the
people buying large do a great job. But our fellow compatriots,
our fellow passengers, aren't always so demure when it comes
to airline behavior. You have a tendency to piss each
(01:05):
other off, even if it's subtly and passively. And most
of the time I don't say anything because you don't
want to end up on CNN punching somebody in the nose. Right,
You don't want to go Mike Tyson on somebody. You
may feel like it, but you're not gonna do it.
You can't play up there. Man. You don't have the
same rights. You just you don't. Okay, So we're gonna
have a little fun with the crew tonight. You recall
last time I was on a couple times ago. We
(01:26):
continue on with the Ben Mallar conversation, the cart in
the parking lot and supermarket annoyances, and then then we
did a thing on tipping. The tipping, you know, the
the pressure that people feel the tip. Right, you walk in,
you buy a cup of coffee, the hand you the
thing and you're supposed to tip, and they gave you
the look, and well you get the picture. Well, how
about flying. It's the summer, everybody flies. I've flown nine
(01:48):
times since May first. I've been to Detroit a couple
of times, Houston, Paris, Lone, and blah blah blah blah.
Before I get started, I want to go around the crew.
I have a question. This is a relatively recent phenomenon
used to you know, you print your ticket, you look
at the little QR code and you hand them the
ticket by paper or they you do it yourself and
(02:09):
you run it across the little glass green. You beep
and you can get on the plane, or you can
bring up your boarding pass on your phone. Lorene, I'll
start with you. When you board a plane, do you
use your phone or the paper ticket?
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Well, it really depends. I actually prefer to have the
ticket on my wallet on my phone so that it's
super easy to get to. But this past time, since
I checked in at the front, they gave me a
paper version as well.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Okay, which is your preference?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I like the phone.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Okay, fair enough. Hold that thought, Eddie. Do you use
your phone or do you print the paper ticket?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Just recently started using the phone, which is probably better
for me because I'm always paranoid about losing things. I
haven't lost my phone yet, but paper ticket is something
I could definitely probably lose or or usually I'm so
paranoid about it all it in my hand like for
the entire time I'm waiting for the to start boarding,
(03:04):
so I'm okay switching over to the phone.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Fair enough, how about you coop?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I mostly use the phone, but if I am checking bags,
then they typically ask would you like your boarding pass printed?
And that case I will say yes.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Fair enough. Appreciate everybody's honesty. All right, I'm the turd
in the punch bowl in this one. I never used
the phone. I only use paper. And I'll tell you why.
When they take you to board, you know, they go
through the litany of things a thousand times and they
tell you, Okay, if you're gonna be using your phone,
make sure it's on its brightest to make sure. Here's
(03:42):
what throws me for a loop. I'm ready to take
a hostage. Half the people to get up there, they
haven't checked their phone, so their phone goes to the
black screen. Then they got to bring it up and
they standing there. Well, everybody, wait, so if you've got
a paper thing, you slam it right on. That just
drives me bananas. I have no problem people want to
use their phone, But if you get up there, it's
like being a long line in a sandwich shop. You've
(04:03):
had twelve minutes to decide what the hell you want,
and all of a sudden, you get up there with
that blank look on your face, like you're trying to
wander through the mall parking lot and forgot where you
parked your car and you don't know what to want
to order, even though you've had twelve minutes to decide.
The phone thing for me again, people, if you want
to use it, fine, I get it. I'm the door here.
I just used the paper because you know what, I
don't have to worry about the screen being light. I
(04:25):
don't have to worry about whether the screen's going to
go black or it's at the proper brightness or whatever.
I swear to God.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Yes, you say that, you compare using your phone to
maybe an old woman trying to count her change at
a grocery market when they're trying to check out.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I would say that's an apt comparison, okay, but I
can I can deal with the old woman counting change.
She's trying to get long in life right. But I
want to get on a damn plane and get my
nap going right or whatever the hell does I do?
You know they bored these planes or you know three
hundred and sixty people they're trying to board them within
twenty five thirty minutes. All right, I'll get off that one.
That's my own personal hang up. If anybody here, have
(05:05):
you at least observed what I'm describing. Where you get
in line, or you see people in line, or now
they're boarding group six, or they're boarding group two, and
you're waiting and you're watching, and they get up there
and they put the phone and it's not capturing. You're
waiting for the beep and the beat never quite comes,
and it's partly because of their own fault because they
haven't checked their phone and the screen when black. Has
anybody else observed that I'm i the only idiot here?
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Well, I've been guilty of it, to be honest with you,
I've been that person and the guy has to grab
my phone and adjust my screen and put up the brightness.
But it only takes like thirty seven seconds, you know.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Multiply that times three hundred people, and then I get
ready to take a hostage. All right, let's move on.
This is my hang up. This didn't make the list,
by the way, didn't even make the list. I just
wanted to kind of do a quick check up. Let's
talk about the hog, the armrest bandit when you encounter that, Eddie,
let's start with you. I'm sure everybody's encountered that. Your
thoughts on that? How annoying is that?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Well, for quite a while now, I've just been traveling.
I usually I don't travel without my wife. Uh so
she's the one always sitting next to me, so I
don't you know, it's like not a big deal. So
I haven't really encountered that anytime lately.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Fair enough, this made the list, though, you know they
I don't know who does these, uh the surveys, but
it made the list. Coop your thoughts on the arm
rest bandit?
Speaker 5 (06:24):
That?
Speaker 1 (06:24):
How does the whole arm rest?
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I'm like Eddie here, I'm usually traveling with my.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Wife and my gosh only single person.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
If so, she's sitting in the middle seat, so I
never really have to deal with that.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Does she hog the arm rest?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
Sometimes?
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Okay? She does?
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Well, you know, and sometimes she does. We don't even
like have the arm rest down the one between us.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I got you, all right, I might have whiffed on
those in Loreno. All right, bring us fulham on this one.
H Well.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I just flew last weekend and I was sitting next
to an arm rest hog very rude, gentlemen, I'm away small.
The fact that you feel it's okay to and like
invade my space is not okay. Like I couldn't even
put my arm on the arm rest and my arm
would touch his arm, you know, like you're in my space.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
This is my boy. Well, you know, I kept on trying.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
To nudge him, you know where you like kind of
like move, and they didn't.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Take a hand.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
They don't get it.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And didn't take a hand. No, well you don't. The
thing about it is if you play it right, because
I like an arm rest just as much as the
next guy. If you play it right, both people can
share it. Right, you kind of figure you stake out
your territory. You want the back end of the arm
right with the front end. Sometimes you give him the
first right, just saying all right, here's another one that
made the list. People kicking the back of your seat.
(07:44):
Eddy of you experienced that.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
One a little kid probably U probably experience that.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yo, Yes, and you just kind of let it go
or after a while do you kind of turn around
or what do you do? Uh?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Usually just let it go.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, I kind of usually let it go as well.
But it is. It is annoying a little bit. Uh lurana,
if you had the person kicked the back of your.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Seat, I am the person kicking your seat, Bernie.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
He's just like intentional or just not really paying attention.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, I'm just so uncomfortable in that little space, Like
I'll put my feet up. I'm really flexible, so I'll
put my feet up like on the back of the
head rest.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah, okay, all right, cool.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
But I try to be I try to be nice
about it too, Like I'm not over there like bing
bing bing bing bing bing bing, Like I'll just put.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
One constant bit of pressure on the back of your seat.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Anybody, coop. Anybody kicked the back of your seat in
a recent flight?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Yep, it happened to me just uh less than a
week ago.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
It was Was it a little kid or was it? No?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
It was it was me, Bernie. It was it wasn't adult.
But I think it wasn't so much that they were
just like kicking the back of seats, Like they kept
you know, getting up and grabbing things, and every time
they did that and moved, they like need the back
of the seat.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
So this is gonna kind of morph into the next one,
how about the person in front of you that reclines
their seats so far, they're just about break both your knees. Eddie,
let's go back to you. If you had that situation
where a person in front of you reclines their seat
with little regard for the person behind them.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Yeah, so far, I would say that's my most annoying
one that you've brought up so far. And it's like
as soon as they get in, it's like the first
thing they do is put the seat back, and that's
pretty annoying.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
And not just during meal service. I mean you know this,
I tell you know. All these had percentages thirty one
percent of the people that surveyed these respondents, so this
was by far their biggest annoyance. Coop if you had
someone recline their seat in front of you and kind
of record day.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
No, this one does not bother me at all. Okay,
the seats are uncomfortable as it is, yes, and I'm
going to recline my seat so I won't have any
problem with somebody else reclining their seat. I'm going to
recline it as far as I can recline it, which
isn't very far because I'm and coach.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Well, and that's fair and to be I tell you
the truth, I don't even bother reclining my seat anymore
because they're so uncomfortable to begin with. And every now
and then I'll buy a business class or first class
if I'm feeling saucy, and it's actually kind of worth it.
But I realized by reclining my seat, I don't feel
any more comfortable, so I I you know, I don't
(10:22):
know that the person behind me notices or cares. They
don't thank you, Hey, thanks for not reclining your seat,
none of that. But I'm kind of with you. This
one doesn't bug me that much about Lorena. The person
in front of you reclining their seat get getting even
more into your space. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
If they do that, Bernie, I start throwing things at
their heads.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Is that right? Anything in particular.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
I'm in a little paper wrappers or something, get on
my face.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Bro, all right, this one drives me nuts. You know,
the person who really should have checked their bag and
they don't check their bag, and they're manipulating that overhead
bin and they're it's like trying to stuff eight pounds
of minor in a four pound bag and everybody's watching,
and you hold it up the line and like, oh no,
not you please. That one really annoys me. Eddie the
(11:10):
person trying this stuff the overhead bin, yes or no.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
If it's if it's keeping us from like, you know,
taking off or something. If they're taking that long, it's
kind of annoying. But otherwise I actually find it a
little bit entertaining because they like take it out and
put it back in, rotate it, and then they like
put it back in the same way that they just did,
thinking it's gonna be different this time, but it isn't,
so I find it kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Got a tweet from Case the car hauler. It says,
I'm far more annoyed by the person who is in
line at the sandwich shop. That's someone who is prepared
to board the plane. That's fair. I mean, we're all
we're all gonna leave at the same time. We're all
gonna get on the plane. They want to get out
of here, all right, All right, now we're gonna await
hive And let's see, did I leave off with you, Coop?
Did we do we talk to you about the No,
(11:53):
we have it. We haven't talked to you about the
stuffing the overhead been with an oversized bag?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
Okay, So my thing on this is normally when we're boarding,
unless I am in like a premium economy or something
like that where I have a priority boarding, I just
wait until we're like the last ones to get on
the plane because then I can just chill in my
chair at the gate and there's none of this like hurting.
(12:21):
I hate the hurting, and so I don't deal with
the stuffing the overhead bin because I'm usually the last
one on and everybody's sitting down already. But my by
far biggest pet peeve when flying is getting off the plane.
I don't understand why it takes everybody so long. It's like,
stand up, grab your bag and go. I don't understand
(12:44):
it how hard that is When it's my turn. I'm
out of there in the second, but yet we stand
there forever, and I just it's I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
That's a good one. That's actually not on this list,
but that's one that's one of my biggest annoyances too.
Times you're stuck back in row twenty eight and you've
landed and you're at the gate and so have we
started moving yet and you're looking up front of what
is going on? You know that's that's a good one, uh, Lorena.
Any thoughts on this subject.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Well, for me, it's I'm one of those people once again.
I'm gonna shove my bag as full as I possibly can,
because how dare you charge me seventy dollars to check
my bag?
Speaker 1 (13:23):
No?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Okay, if I can squeeze it, I'm gonna squeeze it, okay.
And if I have to be that damsel in distress
and some big bulky man has to stand.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Up, but you need hope putting your bag up there.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Ma'am, I'm gonna say yes, I do, because it's heavy
and I can't lift this thing on my own. I
am not just the burden.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I am all of it. I am, I am the problem.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
This is good. I'm enjoying this. Now. We're gonna ratchet
this up quite a bit. And by the way, we
have to give the flat attendants their due. We're gonna
weigh in in a little bit on what pisses them off.
But we're gonna to ratchet this up and we're gonna
get into some weird This stuff happens on planes. And
(14:05):
by the way, what I just described there pisces off
women ten percent more than men. But if you ever
been next to somebody drunk or took off their shoes,
or maybe you just want to chill, you don't feel
like talking and they won't stop talking. We're gonna continue
to try to solve these societal problems coming up.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
All right, thanks Eddie. We wrap this up before we
get to the flight attendant perspective. But we got three
doozies here, all right. I don't even want to couch
this one. Have you ever been on a plane next
to somebody who took off their shoes and their socks,
(16:09):
even just just taking off their shoes is a showstopper
for me. Socks too, I don't know man, I don't know.
All right, Lorraine, I gotta start with you on this one.
I can't wait to hear what you're gonna say about this.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Well, sometimes I don't even wear shoes to the airport,
ben A Bernie. So I mean, I'm kinda I'm that person.
I'll take off my shoes for sure. But I have
sweet feet. Okay, I do not have nasty feet. Some
people have gross feet. I take pictures of people's gross feet.
I'm gonna make an Instagram page, no joke.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
What do you get to call this?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
All feet are disgusting?
Speaker 2 (16:43):
No, no, they're not.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Yeah, they're gross gross.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Well what about you, Coop?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
I take I've taken off my shoes on the plane before.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I bet your feet stink.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
They don't believe it or not. This is where we
take a left turn because this survey, forty five percent
of the respondent said they find an incredibly annoying when
passengers remove their footwear on a flight. Taking off your
socks and or taking off your shoes is they say,
It's bad enough, socks makes it even worse because you're
(17:18):
in a confined space. And okay, this is what the
service said, everyone has to smell your feet. Well, you know,
if it's properly groomed, man, maybe your feet don't you know?
Right ways to get around this. Man. We have plenty
of technology, but it's just there's something about it, and
I think it's more of a dude thing.
Speaker 4 (17:33):
And I would never take my socks off, right, That's
that's a little bit much. But also I've I've what's
the what's the phrase I'm looking for? I've had this
come back to bite me because I took my shoes
off and it was this one was kind of fine
because I was on It was on the way back
from my honeymoon. So I'm flying back from Japan. We're
(17:54):
in premium economy, so there's only two seats in the row,
so it's just me and my wife, and I took
my shoes off because you know, it's a long flight.
And then by the end, I guess so when you're flying,
I guess your feet's well. And so towards the end,
when I went to go put my shoes back on,
they did not fit. I could not get my feet
(18:16):
in the shoes. Really, yes, it was I heard that.
I was panicking.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
It was.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
It hurt because I'm like trying, I have to get
off the plane, and I can't get my shoes off.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
I've never heard of that.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Crazy, I've actually, I've actually heard of that phenomenon, Eddie.
Is someone removing their shoes your thoughts?
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I mean, you know, hopefully they're you know, they they're
courteous enough. Yeah, they they don't have stinky feet and shoes.
I would say, shoes off is fine for a long flight,
but keep the socks on.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Yeah, yep, you know, fair enough, fair enough, Although I
think we have to throw a hall pass. Lorena brings
up a couple of good points, so we'll move on
to the and this one by far made the list.
Sixty nine percent of American adults said this behavior is
by far the most annoying someone who's drunk and disruptive
(19:11):
on a plane. Now, I think I've only experienced at
once in all my time at driving, laretait you experience
that just last weekend? She oh boy, do tell, do
tail tell?
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Horrible?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
She got on the plane. She was in front of
me and she could not get her bag in the hole.
Let's just start there, Okay. I had to help her,
and it's not like I was more strong than she was.
She was definitely a more sturdy girl than me. Anyway,
She's like, I'm so sorry, I've just had like seven
drinks at the bar. Don't mind me. And then she
goes and squeezes into the middle seat between these two men,
(19:46):
and she is so obnoxiously loud the whole flight, and
she's cussing, she's being vulgar, and she keeps on using
her being as a drunk as an excuse. She's like,
I'm so sorry, I'm just drunk. I'm so sorry, I'm
just drunk. I'm like, if you say it again, girl, oh,
I swear to goodness.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Thank god she sat in front of you. I was
about to ask if she hogged the armrest too right,
that would be like a double whammy. And then she
took off for shoes, that'd be like a triple whammy.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
When she turned around and started talking to me and
the baby behind me, I was like, no, we're done.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Oh boy, this doesn't sound fun, Coop. Have you ever
been around somebody drunk and disruptive on a plane? I don't.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
The first time that I ever saw any sort of
you know, airplane rage, it was in the airport. It
was a few weeks ago. I was flying back from
Vegas and I built my first ever and hopefully last
ever Spirit flight. And yeah, the flight was delayed like
(20:55):
almost three hours, and there was no like everybody was
there and the crew was there, but they had no pilots.
The pilot didn't show up. And this guy threw a
drink at the gate attendance.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Yeah, they had to arrest him.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
That's well, I mean he like he threw it and
it it no sooner hit the like the desk area
than he was like booking it the other direction.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, oh okay, Yeah, any drunk and disruptive, No.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Not on the airplane. Plenty of them at the football
games I go to. It's they're everywhere. But no, not
on the airplane thing.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
But you're in that too, But thirty five thousand feet though,
not a lot of options. I've been you know, I
haven't seen any of that. I have. I've been fortunate
I haven't. But lorrain, you kind of touched on something.
It's also one of the biggest complaints of passengers when
you're sitting some next to someone who's just a little
too chatty. Thirty nine percent of survey respondence said, you
(22:00):
have to you have to read the room, and if
you don't want to strike up a conversation with your
seat mate, you got to respect that. Unfortunately, some people
will make small talk no matter what. Lorana, you go first.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, once again, this just happened on my last weekend flight.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Quite a cool weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Actually, I was wearing my Mario hat that I just
bought with the ears. I had raccoon ears on the flight,
and so it was a conversation starter off the bat.
They said, we saw you out in the lobby before
we even got on the plane, so nice to sit
next to you. And then it turned into like a
blind date all of a sudden, like it.
Speaker 4 (22:36):
Was like question after question.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
I'd look out the window and it's still a question.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
But he was nice.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
Him and his friend were both very nice.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
But it wasn't bad conversation.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
As long as your breath doesn't stink and it's fluid,
it's okay. I don't mind it.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Okay. So in this particular case, you were open to it,
but there are sometimes you're on flights, you ever been
actually somebody who wants to talk your ear off and
you're not into it.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
No, that has never happened to me.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You don't have that face that says talk to me though.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Yes, that's exactly.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
What I already. Then, Eddie, you got the last word
on this.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
On this subject, I have a trick that I use,
but I have not traveled by myself on a plane
and quite some time, although I am doing it for
the malor meet and greet coming up here in just
a little bit in Vegas. By the way, Bernie, certainly
welcome to come out and say hi.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
I'm gonna come by and say hello to you guys.
I want to do that very good.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
So my trick is and I even have used this
on people that I was traveling with that I didn't
want to talk to headphones.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Oh nicely done.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Yes, put the headphones on or in this case nowadays,
the earbuds in and that takes care of it.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Clever.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
See that's how you do it. Peets, right, we're reasonable
people here. So this show has become a very didactic
and education people learning how to navigate and you know, look,
everybody I think can relate on some level to some
of the things we're talking about. One subject I didn't
get to Brad in Lost wages tweets in got to
add when people bring their leftover food from Panda Express
(24:16):
or tune on right, it's one of the most inconsiderate
things to do. Just to add to the Smelli topic,
that's very much on the list. I can't get to
all these there's a many of these things. But one
of the things I do want to get to because
I don't know that flight attendants are respected enough. Dennis
Miller used to rip on them. Ay, you sold your
life away for a free trip to Barbados to work
(24:36):
in a bad restaurant on thirty five thousand feet. That
was the snarky Dennis Miller. You don't want to be
on a flight without them. They're trained in ninety nine
point ninety nine nine percent of the time nothing ever happens.
But if some did, they know what to do. Plus
you do a really good job. Okay, like a drummer
in a band. If the drummer screws up, you hear them.
But if you didn't screw up, you don't hear him.
So I respect flight attendants, so they have a voice here,
(24:59):
all right. There are a couple things that really pits
them off. We gotta get to those next.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
We continue, ever so quickly. There are three key subject
matter issues that really piss off flat attendants. So I'll
go around the room. I'm guessing none of our crew
is guilty at ease, but answer the question to the
prism of the flat attendant, I think you might have
(25:31):
a little sympathy the first one. This really pisses flight
attendants off, according to the survey, not paying attention to
safety demonstrations. We've seen it a thousand times. You know,
there's your exits. In the unlikely event of a water landing,
your seat, you know, becomes a flotation device. Bob blah
blah drives the nuts when people sit there with headphones.
(25:54):
During the safety demonstration, one flat attendant said, always thinking
to myself if the ish hit the fan wouldn't have
a clue what to do. They really need to know
this information just in case, but they aren't experienced that.
The flight attendt said. They don't care because they it'll
never happen to them. They think they know everything already.
It never hurts to have a refresher because every plane's
(26:15):
just a little bit different, so you deal with it.
But they're up there doing their job and you're not
paying attention really pisses them off. Lorena, you got the floor.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Well, I'm torn on this because sometimes I'm really into
it when they're doing it right, like I'm like, oh wow,
they're super energetic and personable. But a lot of times
they don't really care. I just feel like they're not enthusiastic,
they're not smiling, they're not like if they want me
to watch, they should make it more entertaining, Like maybe
(26:48):
at every now and.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
In Southwest Airlines will put some you know, fifty thousand
comedians out of work, someone trying to break into the business.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Yeah, you've had one, right one who's really entertaining your life.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
You hello, like you're up there glowing right now. Like
make it to where I can't take my eyes off you,
or don't complain.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Yes it can happen. Uh coop your thoughts. Uh. Flood
attendants offset because you're not paying attention during the safety demonstration.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
I mean, I don't know, I don't I rarely pay
attention during the safety demonstration unless it's you know, when
I was on Singapore Airlines, they have it like it
pops up onto the screen in front of you and
watching a movie and like that. In that case, I'm
kind of forced to watch it because I was, you know,
picking my movie that I'm gonna watch during the flight,
(27:38):
and then I have to watch this little two minute
preview before the movie. And so that's fine. But when
it's the you know, fight attendant up there doing the motions,
I'm usually getting my last you know, sixty seconds of internet.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
I make eye contact, but I can't lie. I'm not
always focused. I might not be listening, but I'll I'll wait.
Speaker 4 (27:59):
If you've you've flown like a number of times, what else?
What else do you need to know? The mask is
going to fall down in front of you, put your
mask on yourself first, then the other person. Uh, you know,
the exit rows are here, the life vest is under
your seat, and so like, I mean.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
That's pretty much it. Yeah, yeah, And I hate to
admit if that damn thing ever full of still don't
know how to do it. You know, you you wrapped
the thing, you buttoned up and you pull it and
it's okay. Wait, we're flying from Chicago to Denver on
a water landing. Forgive me, I don't want to go
to that road. Eddie, you got the last word on
this one.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah, I'll be honest. It seems like most of the
time the flight attendants don't give a crap about doing it.
They're they're going through the they're going through the motions.
They're just they've done it a million times. And I
don't blame them, and they know that most of the
people aren't paying attention anyway. So and I agree with Coop.
I've heard it all before. And I will say, along
with the lines of what Coop said, I remember taking
(28:52):
international flight on Air New Zealand and they had this
really entertaining video they showed and it was the All
Blacks rud B team, which I didn't know any of
these guys, but apparently, you know, if you know rugby,
you were like, oh, we've got these cameos or all
these star athletes doing it and it was something interesting.
So if you want me to pay attention, and you
know you're on a flight where you've got the little
(29:12):
video screen, do something entertaining, I'll pay attention to that.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Uh did we get so? Okay, we've got we've got
the all three on that one. This really pisses off
flight attendants asking a question are we gonna be on time? Today? Oh?
They hate that?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Lorenda thoughts, well, I'm sure everyone asks because everyone wants
to know. But I think airlines have done very well
about over Like they'll say, oh, your flight's gonna land
at three thirty, but it actually lands closer to three
point fifteen, So I think it actually.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
They cushy, they cushion it.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
So I think that's actually been helping a lot with
people being so antsy about the question.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Coop, Uh, how do you feel about flight attenants getting
miff when passenger c are we going to be on time?
Just like when they're mid air?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
You know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I just.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
It's like that's part of your job. I mean I've
never I've literally never asked that because on most flights
that you're on, I mean, if it's long enough to
where you have to ask that, if like you're gonna
be on time, then I feel like you've got one
of those screens in front of you, and on the
screens you can literally see where the plane is like
(30:25):
in you know, on a map, And uh, I don't
know other than.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
That, really good at that. By the way, you know,
I think some people get jiggy when they've got a
connector to make and you take off late, you know,
or nineteenth in line for takeoff, and now you're already
getting out forty minutes late and you only got an
hour and your connector and you're one and they're gonna
get your luggage train right.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
But once, once you're in the air, you should kind
of have an idea of how long it's gonna take
to get to your destination. It's not like you're gonna
run into traffic.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
See, I think you're I think you're right, You're you're
kind of making your point for them. And I think
if you fly every day or whatever the allotted hours month,
they're allowed to fly and it happens over the cumulative
effect of that, I think is what pisses them off.
You know, people ask them that, you know, are we
gonna be on time? Eddie. Of your thoughts on that,
I would say, handle it, hey, fair, that's fair. So look,
(31:17):
I think the bottom line is these are all like
little annoyances, like flies at a picnic. But sometimes they
add up right, and you know, there are some kind
of silly things that I think I'm just gonna add
live here for just a second. I don't know. Is
anybody ever sat in exit row and then they stand
and look at you. Are you willing to participate and
help people off the plane for crash? And they point
at you and you have to literally say yes or
(31:39):
you can't sit next to ro Have you guys ever
experienced that? Are you willing to help out? You know?
If we yes? Yes? What if you made a joke
or something to say, wh you gotta payby or what?
I don't know, it depends. That's like a serious thing.
Everybody always answers yes, and you have no idea the
one thing that used to slay me And they don't
do this anymore, do you guys? Remember when you be
checking in your bags and then fly and they the
(32:02):
attendant at the counter would say, or what have your
bags been in your possession of the entire time? Yes?
Have you packed any explosives in your bag? What? I mean,
who in their right mind thought this would be effective?
I mean, what are you gonna say? Yeah, I got
a glock nine and a couple of sticks of dynamite, nothing,
nothing to what you guys. Remember when they used to
(32:24):
say that if your flight bag's been in attendant, if
they've been in your possession of the entire time.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Yeah, now they just kind of have an announcement going
over the thing. Make sure your bags are in your
possession the entire time, never leave them. And if you
see a bag by itself, report it to secure.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Right, it's right out of airplane. The white zonas for
unloading and unloading past. You know, I don't whoever thought
that was effective anyway, Look, we all like flying. We're
all reasonable people. Who knows Lorana may have met her
next love interest and we're gonna want to hear that
how that progresses. No, you're gonna keep that to your health. Okay, Well,
(33:02):
you know we're all rooting for you, Lorena. That's all
I can tell you. It's all I can tell you.
Good stuff by everybody. And by the way, coming up
at the top of the hour, I want to bring
the crew back in because we have all these storylines
in the NFL. And by the way, not the least
of which can the Kansas City Chiefs three peat? Will
Aaron Rodgers and the Jets overcome that hump? Can the
(33:24):
Lions get to their first ever Super Bowl. There are
all kinds of terrific storylines. By the way, Eddie's and
his wife's Los Angeles Chargers great hopes under Jim Harbaugh.
There's even a recent Joey Bosta. I don't know if
you saw that thing about somebody who's ripping on their food,
and Joey Bosa defended the cafeteria tenants, but then admit
he didn't need the food. Chargers I think are gonna
(33:46):
have a good year. But in spite of all of it,
what's in the freaking headlines? Dak Prescott, we're in a
boot cam Newton piss it and moaning that the Cowboys
really aren't America's team. Those are the headlines we got
to pick. We're going to talk about that at the
top of the AAR but coming up as as promised,
I gotta tell you, Drake, he's made a lot of money,
(34:09):
and I hope so because he's lost a lot. You know,
there was an old comedian back in the day, Milton
Burley used to say, I go on to the track tomorrow.
I hope I break even. I could use the money.
I'll tell you what when you hear Drake's betting blunders
going back a couple of months. He might be looking
for a loan. Actually, I'm sorry, this is kind of comical.
I will share with you Drake's betting blunders and coming up,
(34:30):
including something that just happened two nights ago, for like
about three hundred thousand dollars. I'm Bernie Fraddlewick Company, live

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Thank you, Eddie memo to Drake. Stop betting. It's not
fun anymore, all right. The Canadian rapper posted on Instagram
the other night that he had bet three thousand check
that three hundred thousand dollars to win two point eight million,
that Larrouge would beat Argentina in Tuesday's Copo America semifinal.
(35:42):
They lost two to nothing. And then he got dissed
by Kendrick Lamar. And then he got dissed by the
Argentina team who said not like us, which was a
takeoff from the Kendrick Lamar disc. Can't make this stuff up,
So Drake's got a body at work. The losses keep coming.
(36:03):
He's lost a million in bitcoin the last two weeks
after losing two professional sports bets. Back on June sixth,
he bet five hundred thousand dollars on the Stanley Cup.
He bet that the Edmonton Oilers, who lost the Hockey
Championship to the Florida Panthers, he bet five hundred grand
that would have brought back one point one million loser.
(36:26):
That's number one. Then he turns around and guaranteed that
the Dallas Mavericks would win the NBA Finals. Bet one
hundred thousand, which would have brought back one point three
million the Boston Celtics won. They're starting to call it
the Drake curse, and we'd be here all night if
I started listing his bets. But that right there is
(36:47):
over one point three million. And what's interesting he bets underdogs.
This is the rule in Vegas. People come here to
bet a little to win a lot, bet a little
to make a little more. I don't know, maybe this
is some kind of marketing ployee, but he got this
pretty good by Kenna Dell Lamar, and then he got
this even better by the Argentina and soccer team. So
(37:10):
maybe Drake should take a little time off and not
bet so much, Although you know he's that's not what's
gonna happen. He's probably gonna back Argentina again. He can
get the money back if Argentina wins. Who knows what
he'll do. Columbia is on a twenty seven match on
beaten streak and Yorga has won the tournament fifteen times.
(37:31):
So find out who Drake bet and bet the opposite.
Keep it locked right here. This is Bernie Frattle sitting
in for the great Ben Maller. You're listening to the
