Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Fresh Show. This is what's trending, all right.
So a crazy moment on American Airlines. Out of control
passenger on board a flight from Milwaukee to Dallas on
Tuesday charged a flight attendant and then tried to open
a plane door mid air, whoa forcing other passengers to
restrain him with duct tape. The guy got it from
his seat told the flight attendant that he needed to
get off the plane. When the crew member told him

(00:22):
that wasn't going to be possible, he grew louder and
angrier and then rushed the staffer to try and reach
the cabin door. The flight attendant was able to stop him.
Three passengers jumped up to help control the unruly passenger.
The group pinned the flyer down and then used duct
tape from an onboard flight kit to tie up his
wrists and angles to restrain him. When the flight landed
at DFW, police officers boarded the plane took the guy

(00:44):
into custody. Honestly, you can't mess it around like that.
You're gonna get You're never gonna fly again. Who knows
what's gotter? But and not that any of them, you know,
not that I am a hero or anyone's a hero.
But after everything that happened some time ago, if you
act up on a plane, you can expect the people
who would not normally intervene are going to intervene because

(01:05):
we know what the potential outcome could be. So again,
I'm not a hero, but if you start messing around,
I'm going to tackle you. I'm going to get up
out of my seat. I'm going to get out of
my middle seat in thirty six b yep, and I'm
going to tackle you. I'm going to jump over someone
and I'm going to tackle them as you should, the
same way I would if you reclined your said I'm kidding.
I think you should be able to recline your seat.

(01:25):
Now that's another debate. In fact, there was a story
about that this morning that like forty one percent of
people who were asked say that you should not be
allowed to recline your seat on a plane.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Why not? That is a wild it's your seat.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
I thought you've argued the other side of this before.
I thought you were the one that said no one
should be able to recline their seat. No, no, no,
someone in this room has said that before.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
I will say I flew a German airline recently and
when people were eating, they kindly asked everyone to put
their seats up so people could have room.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I thought that was cool, But the rest of the fight,
you should be allowed to do whatever. I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
I do look back and I kind of assess, like
who is behind me, and is it a large human being?
Is it if it's a kid, she goes back. I
don't care because they don't they don't need the room.
There's like, if there's a guy in my side behind me,
I'll think twice about just pushing. And the other thing
I don't like is when people just pushed about and
then push back hard and the seat just goes back.

(02:17):
All you got to you gotta be you gotta be subtle,
because what if someone's knees are up against that thing,
you gotta you kind of gotta like push it and
go small.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
It's kid's courtesy.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
We're getting half an inch matter to a guy like me,
and I think.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
You should be able to find your seat.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
I just think there's a courteous way to go about it.
It's not even a real recline. It's not a lazy boy,
you know what I'm saying. Just to look quickly as
I would never I have never touched you're the one
person behind. I just know they would. I would judge
somebody at the in front of me was like game
right in front of me, Like what it's.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Supposed to do?

Speaker 2 (02:59):
That a little bit. I don't don't if someone if
they designed I need.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
This little space to be any smaller around me, and
you're doing that, okay, But if they reclimb their seat
in front of you, and then you recline yours and
you regain some of that room, I'm not so if
everyone reclines and everybody and then no one's really sacrificing.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I'm not continuing the circle of abuse for having it
pay for it SUPs with me, right, Like that's.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Best least surprising thing I've ever heard before is that everyone,
everyone in line paid for the person behind him until
he gets to rufio and then he goes thanks and
drives away.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
That's about right, starves himself, like twenty four hours before
a flight going on, like I want to sit in
my little seat, don't move and be done, Like.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Don't do it.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
If my stummy, my little stummy tummy, my little stomach
tummy tummy. If it's not feeling great, I'm not. If
there's any chance that we're going to have any kind
of issue with that, I'm not.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
I'm canceling the flight. I'm going another day.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
That's why fast before, just not flight dehydrated and starving.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I think when I fly a little airfread across the country,
I dehydrate myself. In fact, I won't even drink anything
until i'm like two hours in. If it's a four
hour little flight. There's no bathroom in my near fread,
so I'm just sitting there, So I won't drink anything
until about two hours. I won't touch anything just in
case there's any kind of calamity, because at least that way,
i'm you know, more than halfway to my destination or
wherever I'm going, you know, eating something I have I have.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Oh but I'm not allowed to Well, well, how.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Would she's a debts? Yeah, I mean my part, my
part has better aim than your part.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
I want to fish or price little potty for myself.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Or like a ship on the back Paul patrol, you
a little pal patrol come on, like while you're flying,
does it just go and you just kind.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Of he can go on the back while he's flying.
Oh that's scary. Okay, I can't go in the back
while flying. I mean you could theoretically, No, because I
don't need to be like I don't need to be
the back.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
And then that's how you right then the auto pilot
clicks off or you take it smart, you're traffic control
call me and I'm in the back.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
You know, not saying you should. I'm saying you have
the ability to want to. I have the ability to
do lots of things. I'm not going to do it ability.
What is the autopilot? And you put it in an autopilot?

Speaker 1 (05:12):
It just yeah, it just does whatever I do, hold
on one at a time. What it's like just a
cruise control Like it just flies straight. Yeah, do whatever
I tell it to. If I tell it to go
up or down or lest it right or whatever, Yeah,
it'll do that.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
No, I'm not doing and I'm not doing a we'm
not doing it either.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I had a friend not long ago and he was
a two hour flight two hours and he's like, I
got a pee. I'm like, bro, he's my age too.
I'm like, this isn't like he's not like a kid.
He's like I got a pee, you know, Like, well,
I don't know what to tell you. He's like, well
I have this. Uh what did he have? Like a
like a bottle, like a soda bottle. It's like I
can pee in this. I'm like, well, first of all,

(05:53):
I thought you were I thought you were working with
something better than that you could be. You can get
a little hole there. Yeah, it's not very big wide bottles.
First of all, disappointed in you. I had had a
really hot wife too, I'm curious how that were anyway.
But then he's I'm like, dude, I don't know what
to tell you, Like, not one drop of any of
your stuff is getting on anything.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
And he's like, I'll go in the back.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
So he went in the back and his suitcase was
back there, and he laid his suitcase out. He like
surrounded himself with his own clothing like a wall. Yeah,
so that if there was any sort of errant anything,
that it would go on his So he like kneeled
on top of his own suitcase that was open, and
then did it and then like sealed the bottle and
put it in his own suitcase and then zipped the
suitcase up, and it was like it never.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Happened, drama. Why can he just hold it? That's what
I'm saying.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
A word. I don't forgot. I forgot you, Fred and
I will. We can wait till tomorrow to be.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
That's good that you have the ability to do that,
but not everyone does.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
What's the animal camels that can do that? What is it?

Speaker 1 (06:52):
I can hold it for ever if necessary. Yeah, it's
an incredible skill. You have a good pelvic floorer. A
lot of people have said that about me my pelvis.
You know what, I want you to wish me a
happy pelvic floor day, text me that I'm so proud
of my Yeah, well, baby hasn't come out of my

(07:14):
pelvis floor.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
So there's that.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
The Australian government has proposed a ban on children under
sixteen and kiki from using social media and we'll hand
on huge finds to companies that don't comply. The band
is expected to apply to services including TikTok x, Instagram, Snapchat.
I'm sure Blue Sky is in there too. The whole
list hasn't been released so. The legislation follows several high

(07:36):
profile cases of bullying and complains in parents worldwide about
the pressure of their children face to be online. Many
pro band campaigners have lauded the BILM as a long
overdue measure to whole tech companies accountable for their impact
on children. However, critics say the proposed ban is a
blunt instrument that will reduce teams access to support networks
and create greater risks for those who rely or defy

(07:59):
the ban. Rather, So, I don't know, I can't imagine
being a high school kid.

Speaker 2 (08:03):
I thought it was.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
I thought it was hard to be in high school
a little while ago without social media, without social media
the way it is now, you know, it's hard to
be a human. It's hard to be a human that
anyone can have an opinion about with social media now,
you know. I guess you could argue that you got
to learn, right, you have to like figure this out,
and parenting to work with their kids. But so, I
don't know if saying you can't look at it until

(08:25):
you're sixteen alleviates the problem. But maybe someone I'm not sure,
because that just means I guess it's sixteen. Kids will
be mean to each other, because kids are mean to
each other.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, oh yes they are.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
But it's so much more complicated now. I don't know.
It's a difficult conversation because in some ways I feel
like maybe people are people as a whole society. Culture
is way more accepting now, believe it or not, than
they were when we were much younger. I mean, think
about that, Think of the things, Think of all the
things that were repressed twenty years ago that are maybe

(08:56):
less still repressed, but significantly less so than they are now.
But then think of how many more issues there are
now than there were then. I don't know what's better,
and I don't know if this necessarily solved the problem.
Something that will solve the problem for you, rufio, it
will make your day better immediately, is that McDonald's has
announced the return of the McRib let's go December third

(09:17):
for a limited time, and there's a twist.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Are you ready for the twist? McDonald's just hit her up like, hey,
it's coming back. I'm so sorry. Which one of us
got an? That's fine.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
The McRib is selling its sauce in half gallon containers
for nineteen ninety nine, so you can pull up to McDonald's,
get a mcgrib, and then get you a half gallon
of the sauce on the side. Now that's aggressive, I
will say. And Camelin introduced me to this, But if
you're a Jets pizza person, you need to get the

(09:51):
entire bottle of branch when you order it to your
home or pick it up or whatever. Not a little
side and a little container. No, you need to sit
there like one fat American human or wherever you're from.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Yeah, and with the bottle. And it's a bottle.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
It's no, it's amazing because the bottle even has like
a little tip on it. It's like a bottle, and
then it has like a very it's a very what
is the word I'm looking for. It's it's a very targeted,
very organized little squirt that comes out the bottle.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
It's like a small bead.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Oh okay, So you can sit there and apply per
bite that the ranch dressing. Oh yeah, it's not like
the ranch bottle where you like squeeze it and go
down you know what, everything goes everywhere. No, this is
like it's very Yeah. So you can sit there and
you can put a doll up on each bite, and
that's what you should do. But you can't just get
the little thing. You need the whole bottle. I think

(10:45):
this is aggressive though.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
The whole jug, the jug for twenty bucks. That's why
I just that's why just said crazy. Just did that
story not even thirty seconds ago.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
I'm just saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, tell me how bad
it's a half down, it's twenty bucks in it.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
I don't know. You know that. I'm not good with
measurements like that, so half gallon, Well, who knows. I
just wish.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
I wish today were December third, because that's where I'm
going to be later on today while you guys are
at the happy hour. I wasn't invited to my little
man named Jacob. Oh yeah, I know that's where I'll be.
I'll be at McDonald's asking for a half gallon jug
of of barbecue sau It's just to pour on everything
that I eat from now on.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
I think you should just show up.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
I was literally the only person in the entire office,
not literally, one human being was not invited. No, there
were two others, I'm sorry, three out of sixty people
that work here were targeted as not invited, specifically not
invited to.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Isn't that? Is that not the rudest, meanest thing ever?

Speaker 4 (11:40):
You didn't, oh miche, Well, I mean, it's not if
you listen back to this show and all the things
you said about said person.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
I don't think all the things that were said about me, well,
that's not public. It's not the same as the listeners.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Is well that well, then don't pick on a guy
with a microphone. How about that less than number one?

Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's well, first of all, would you go no.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Exactly, which is one of it would have been no
risk in inviting me, invite me to the happy Hour
knowing full well I'm not going.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
I said, person's like went to Jacob's like, hey, here's
here's people want to invite.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
I think it's I think it's rude and disrespectful and
quite frankly, it's mean.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
It's just mean that person can say the same things
about the stuff you said about him on the radio that.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
I that we said, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm about Rufio.
All of a sudden, it's completely innocent in all of this. Okay, okay, anyway,
I'm very very rude, and it won't be forgotten. It
won't be forgotten.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
People like me, I have to go. I was listening to.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
No but it's twenty bucks. She gets your wondering. You're
talking about the barbecue. I've if you got heard about this,
But the mcrim is back December third, where I'll be
there at Burger King. Yeah, and then but but if
you want the half gallon of barbecue sauce, you's got
to go to Taco Bell going out right there. It's
only twenty bucks. To be exact, it's not even full

(13:19):
twenty You never bought the whole bottle of rice, the
whole bottle of ransom. It's a very directed test. Yeah. No,
it's a small bead because it would be so annoying
if it were a big hole.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
You need more of a little hole for nobody.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Sometimes nobody would just say, our textures are now defaming Jacob.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
What that is?

Speaker 1 (13:47):
No?

Speaker 2 (13:47):
No, no, maybe you know what I'll do.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
Maybe I'll just extend an invite to everyone listening now
to attend.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
No, I.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Really need the The good news is that, dude, well
Jacob certainly can't. But the good news, the good news
is the other guy can't fire me anymore.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
So there's that. That's great, isn't that? I don't Yeah,
I don't know. If he had who was invited, I won't.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Be forgotten them. Disney nineteen seventy seven film The Rescuers.
Have you ever seen this? This is one I film
I've ever I've ever seen this before, The Rescuers. I'm
not familiar with this one. You can still get it
on Disney Plus. But in nineteen ninety nine, apparently an
X rated issue was spotted in the children's film. The
film follows the Rescue Aid Society and International Mouse Organization

(14:34):
dedicated to helping abduction victims across the world at large.
In the film, Bernard and miss Bianca set out to
rescue an orphan called Penny, who is being held prisoner.
Yet at one point in the adventure, an X rayed
image in the background led to Disney recalling the film
if you blink, you'll miss it, but you can find
it online the still shot of it, of course, because

(14:55):
why wouldn't it be online. The whole video version of
the film featured a topless nude woman that can be
in a window. So I don't know if this I
mean you got to think this was like Disney, some
Disney illustrator like oh, thinking they were funny and that
it was like a split second and nobody would see it.
But of course, you know, the internet does what the
internet does. So now that's being recalled. Let me skip
around here because we're running out of time. Let me

(15:16):
see him. There's going to be a Minecraft theme park
coming to the US and the UK. A poker player,
this is actually pretty crazy. A gambler in Las Vegas
won a poker game with the rarest hand ever. He
got a royal flush during a game of Ultimate Texas
Hold Him, Royal Flush and Ace King, Queen Jack and

(15:37):
ten all in the same suit. He wound up winning
seven hundred and sixty three thousand dollars. I am not
great at poker for a lot of reasons, but there
is no way that I would be able to keep
a straight face if I had a royal flush. You
know how he's supposed to be. Well, you wouldn't know,
but you'd know, I guess if it was Texas Hold Him.
I don't know what game it was, but you maybe
would either know you had it or know that it
was possible. But I don't know that i'd be able

(15:58):
to keep a straight face, you know, because even if
I had my wrap around sunglasses on and my you know,
cowboy hat and whatever else you're supposed to wear. Yeah,
and with a hoodie on top of that, so that
nobody can see anything that's happening with my face. I'd
be like, oh my god, I just because you automatically won,
like you know you want right, you know, nobody can
beat that animal. So you're just sitting there going, oh, man,
I don't know if I want, you know, say out loud,

(16:21):
and people just basically everyone who's like betting is just handing.
They may as well just hand you the money and
you have to keep it straight face the whole time.

Speaker 2 (16:27):
If you're not familiar, it's called heaven the nuts. Oh wow,
oh yeah that is Yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Jason's had that moment many times in his life. And finally,
in really really rich People news today, a crypto engineer
paid over six million dollars for a banana duct tape
to a wall.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
Literally, that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
A Chinese born crypto entrepreneur now owns arguably the most
expensive fruit in the world. He dropped six point two
million on what is literally a banana tape to a wall.
This happened last night at a Sotheby's Contemporary are auction.
The artwork by Masourio Maruzio Catalian. I'm sure, I said,
that wrong and I'm sorry is called comedian. He watched

(17:10):
a bidding from Hong Kong and staid afterward, in the
coming days, he'll eat the banana as part of the
unique artistic experience. Literally, he paid six point two million
dollars for a banana and a piece of duct tape
on a wall. And now and it's a real banana.
I guess so it's gonna go bad. So I guess
he's gonna eat it. Six million dollars banana.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
People have too much money. I have way too much money. Guys.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
You can get the McRib sauce half a gallon of it.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
You usually do a food story during Try nineteen ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
You guys, it's National Gingerbread Day, National Stuffing Day, Hello,
Great American Smokeout, the annual social engineering event to encourage
Americans to stop tobacco smoking.
