Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, let's do a tane. Love is in the air,
Kiki's love is in the air. It's mostly all about you.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You do sound so excited.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
You're the only love in the air I care about.
But hit the intro. It's the tangent giving you all
this ship we couldn't talk about on the air. No,
I mean you got lucky. I got you on you
got lucky. No, let me finish my thought.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
You didn't get lucky. No, no, no, he got lucky
in that regard. I mean you dropped the news at
the right time. Oh yeah, it would it unfairly, would
have gotten lost, and it didn't. You know, you time
the whole thing out perfectly. We're sitting next to Taylor Swift.
You followed it. I mean you planted it out too.
There was a spreadsheet for this, okay. You know you
(00:46):
said you came in here Monday morning, didn't have the words. No, no, no,
it just didn't work with the rollout plan is what
it is. And that's fair. That's fine. It's your announcement to.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Make whatever you want. I mean I had the words.
I mean I don't know you.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
You didn't think what you You didn't have the words
that's that's what you said.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I think when Jason proposes to you, you will.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Feel in that moment will finally get up.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah, because I really don't have the words, and I
feel like I waited so long to get engaged. I
couldn't come in here and just willy nilly, it wasn't
that wasn't the right way.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
That thirteen don't deserve that.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
They need to be able to see what happened at
the party and put it all together.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And that's how I feel.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I love it now, Fred, Were you more hurt, because
it's given that you were was more hurt?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Were you more hurt by finding out on Instagram?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
That's what that was? It was Itay, that was it?
That was it.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
You don't You don't owe us anything what you do.
Actually you do your radio personality and where you're paid
to be vulnerable, So yeah you do.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
But but no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
That's not it. I I just couldn't believe that I've that.
A listener told me yes, and my listener is a
friend who also listens. But I don't mean to minimize that,
but I had to hear about it from someone who
was unrelated and then that person was like really, like.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
You didn't know?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
They're messy? Whoever that?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
And then it was like, well, that's kind of screwed up.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
And then I was like wait a minute, I'm like
and then then I called Jason. I'm like, dud do
you guys all know? And then she didn't trust me,
and it's like, no, none of you, none of you knew.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
The question was yes, do you know about Kiki? I
was like what happened? I was like, oh, man, like
does she not try?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Because if you the truth is if you say to
me like, hey, this happened today, yes, I'm not ready
to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I would never do that.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Because I respect what we do.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
But when you can do that, but I know I could,
but I would never. And I don't want you to
feel like everybody in the world knew and you didn't.
My whole family did not know. Anybody that was not
at that party fair did not know until they hit Instagram.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
No, I don't care about the I don't care about
the radio show. I was just like, why am I
learning about this from a stranger? And then a couple
of people are going to like even my mom was like,
you didn't know, And I was like.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
No, I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I heard about I learned about it like everybody else did,
like maybe not time a ninety second heads up like hey,
I'm about to drop a video.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I'm engaged.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
I was shocked.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I mean, you.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Take a ship, you tell us about it? Like what
do you mean?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Like I take a lot of ships, and I always
tell them because because here, Like I love that he
said that, like only because I feel like there are
so little secrets in life that just people have, like
you know, And I'm like, that's like one thing you
kind of got to walk around for a couple of
days like and own it and really have it, just.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Like to yourself. Hours. Oh yeah, hours, I have it.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I just I don't know. I've never been engaged before.
I didn't know how this is gonna work out. And
I wish that I had full control over how it happened.
I wouldn't have done it on a Sunday. I would
have had a different outfit. I would you know what
I'm saying, let's do it stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So I don't know. It was you know, it was great.
It was great, and you don't you don't you don't
know anything to anybody. I just I that was my
only thing. I'm like, why am I learning about it
like this? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
All right, shout out to that messy listener.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
It was very messy. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I almost switch gears to something far more serious. And
this is traveling. This is traveling, and people in this
room have very different attitudes about Yes, the airport, Jason.
I'm more like Jason. Now, I don't need to be
there today for the flight that's tomorrow. Like I don't
need to have four meals at the Chili's to go before,
you know, before it's time to go to Toledo. But
(04:34):
I also I'm not the kind of person that if
like the flight leaves it, you know, in an hour
and a half. We leave now, and then we roll up,
you know, right when the door closed, It's like, I can't.
I can't handle that. Like that adds in. I would
rather be at the airport a little longer than add
that element of stress to the beginning or end of
my trip.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I think you are more like me. You and I
do two hours and he does three. Yeah, I think
that's where we lose time.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Like if I roll in and I you know, if
I can roll, if I can, if I can stroll
up in O'Hare midway, maybe ninety minutes before boarding ish,
and then you know security. If you show up on time,
then security you walk right through. If you're at all late,
then it takes forever. That's just inevitable. But I guess
I'd rather just stroll a little bit. And if it
(05:22):
means I waste an hour of my day, then fine.
But then I'm just not stressed, you know, because we
all know how that we've talked about this a million times,
Like you got to go to the airport, make sure
the airport's there, right, and then you got to go
through security, and then you got to no matter what
you do, you pass the Newport News, you pass you know,
the the CNN store, you pass by the you know
(05:44):
tomorrow or the guy Fee area. You gotta walk right
by nuts on Clark. It's hard, it's hard not to stop,
but you got to make sure the gate is there.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
You do.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And then once we've identified the gate is there and
that is the light and it says it right there, Wichita,
you know whatever, though, Okay, now I can go by
my business, like now now we have the world is
my oysters.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Well, then I go get a water.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
I have to get a water as my next step
at like one of those news stores, so that I
have my own bottled water because I want to be
in control of that. I don't want to just get
water in a cup on the plane's dollar water.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
You know, it's delicious water too, really is it? Really?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
It tastes better than every other water. It does, but
you just this is how it has to be. And
I don't know that I could be truly, I don't
know that I could be with someone who doesn't see
it this way the other I've said this many times
before too. You can't make a food decision based on
the first thing you see, because if your gate is
you know, a fifteen minute walk away, yeah, you might
(06:46):
miss out on the first food option that you saw,
but it's very likely that you're going to see something
better on the way and you just can't make a
snap decision. No, yep, And look, if you're there that early,
then you can backtrack to the the first option if you.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Must the menus. Look at reviews now.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I'm not sure if you've ever seen these videos before,
but there's they're from Phoenix Arizona the husband and wife
law team.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So oh, and that's that's.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Their thing, that's their gimmick, that's their advertising. Hey, we're
the husband and wife law team, and I think they
do divorce.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I don't know what they do.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
They do bankruptcy, I don't know what kind of I
don't know anyway, But this dude is Michael Scott. Like
I think in real life he's Michael Scott and she's whatever.
But like they post these videos of him. Every morning,
they have a morning meeting with all their lawyers on
a zoom and he'll play some like two Chain song
and dance to it. You've probably seen this guy. You
(07:41):
wear suspenders. He's a total dorg. But I think this
is like who he is really. Of course they're playing
on it. I get that you see the personality, but
at the same time, like, I'm not sure that I
could take this guy seriously. Like I know what they're doing,
and the videos go super viral, but everyone's like this
guy's Michael Scott because it's so awkward. Everything he does
is so often. But I gotta be honest, like, I
(08:02):
I don't think I want to go to court with
this guy because I think people will be like, that's
the moron that was dancing to Young MC this morning
in a video. Anyway, here he is talking about his
travel process. He's got feelings about trapped.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
If you don't miss a plane once in a while,
you spent too much time sitting in airport.
Speaker 9 (08:21):
That's very profound.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
Let's say you miss it, there's another flight an hour
and a half light.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
The time spent.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Waiting for that particular flight, you could have been on
the next flight. People spend two hours at a time
that I don't spend. It adds up over the course
of their life to like one hundred hours of lost light.
I miss one flight like every decade, and it cost
me two hours.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
See this to me sounds like that Shaquille O'Neal gas thing.
Do you remember that whole debate, Yes, with Shaquille O'Neil.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Do you remember this?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
No, I never heard of this. What is it?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Let me find remember that for you.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
It's up there with our tipping topics and other topics
that we have.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
It doesn't make any sense like he's it doesn't make
any sense. And I love Shack, but what he's saying
is not actually a money But this is to me.
It's the same sort of thing here listening to this.
Speaker 10 (09:11):
Ocasion because I told him I didn't want to get
a certain vehicle because of the amount of gas I
would have to spend it. It costs like eighty dollars
to fill it up.
Speaker 11 (09:18):
Then you said, when it gets to half, then you
put twenty dollars you bring it back to full.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
But if I came to I would have to stop
offense what eighty?
Speaker 11 (09:25):
No, you would know you would. Why you're complaining about
when it gets to zero, you spend eighty. Right when
it gets to half, you put twenty. And they want
to get back to half, you put twenty.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Already it's not right because if it cost you eighty
dollars to fill up your tank, right, half would be
forty dollars. So twenty dollars doesn't get you back to full. No,
so that's already flawed. Yes, so he's already raw.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
But I know people who live by this theory of
they don't let their gas tank get below half, and
I don't. I'm like the guy there. I don't understand
the math or the reason of that.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
They're not out there.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
But he he really rides on this, And I don't
think he's kidding. I think he thinks he's serious about this.
Speaker 10 (10:09):
Stop it putting twenty eight the same amount of gas
I'm driving the same amount of gas.
Speaker 11 (10:14):
The average human stops once a week for gas, Right
with you? You only work here twice, you would probably
have to stop, maybe maybe once.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Every two weeks.
Speaker 11 (10:22):
I don't even try it.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
This is all border.
Speaker 11 (10:26):
This is I'm ordering on what's closer the west coast
or the moon.
Speaker 10 (10:29):
Telling me that I wouldn't I wouldn't have to if
I only if I didn't let my gas get down,
I wouldn't have to fill it up as much.
Speaker 11 (10:35):
No, I'm saying, you complained about the eighty dollars. That's
what the conversation about.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You.
Speaker 10 (10:38):
You put four times twenty is eight because I'm gonna
stop four times.
Speaker 11 (10:41):
You're not gonna stup four time. No, you're not gonna
stut four times, not in one week. You're not.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
See, here's the thing. Here's what I'm Here's what I'm
missing about this.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What is the thing?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It doesn't it doesn't matter how many times you stop
or don't stop, like the amount of gas that you
that your car uses to transport you is finite, like
it is what it is, Like it doesn't matter how
many times you fill it up. It's just you're spending
less money each time. But it doesn't buy you. It
only fills the tank. Like it doesn't. I don't all
(11:13):
of a sudden get like infinitely more miles. Like think
about it, like okay, let's say a full tank of
gas costs me one hundred bucks. It gets me one
hundred miles. Like this is this is fake This is
fake numbers. It would get you more. It's fake news.
If I if I use half the tank, then I've
spent fifty dollars and I've used fifty miles. Right if
(11:35):
I go put twenty dollars, if I go put twenty
five dollars in, then it gets me half more and
it buys me that many more miles. But then it
doesn't buy me double that man, you know what I mean?
Like the number is the number. The amount of the
amount of gas your car burns per mile is what
it is, no matter how many times you fill it up,
whether you wait till the very end or you or
(11:56):
you fill it up a quarter at a time, and
you I'd argue that you're using more gas, filling it
up a quarter at a time, because you're driving to
the gas station to do this as opposed to just
waiting until it's empty. There's just I don't think that
there's no savings here. No, it's just you're just spending
less money along the way. You're spending twenty dollars or
in this in my analogy, you're spending twenty five dollars
(12:17):
four times as I supposed as opposed to spending one
hundred dollars one time. You know what I mean, Like,
it's just the amount of gas in the car. Is
the amount of gas in the car?
Speaker 11 (12:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (12:26):
Right, Yeah, it sounds like Shaq is stopping too many times.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
It also sounds like these people always have money for
a full tank, which is interesting because usually that's what
it's based on, like how much do we have?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Now?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
See now that makes sense? Like that makes sense. You know,
maybe you don't always have access to one hundred bucks,
Maybe you only can get twenty at a time, so
you just you just put in what you can. Like
that's fine, but it's not. There's no savings. It just
makes it. It makes it more palatable because you're paying.
It would be like saying, I want to buy a
one hundred dollars Taylor Swift sweatshirt, and I'm going to
(13:00):
pay for it in installments instead of buying it at once.
Yeah right, so instead, so I'm getting it for twenty
five dollars for four payments, I'm still paying one hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Right, There's no way around it right now with the airport.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, Now that's what we were really talking about here
is Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I wouldn't play that game, like I missing a flight
every now and then, where are you going that you
can just miss the light light right right?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Don't be there.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I have to be well.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And here's the thing, Like he's going, okay, there's a
flight every hour. Yeah, if you're there's a flight every hour.
If you're going in certain like if I'm in Phoenix's
a flight every hour to la If I'm in you know,
if I'm in Chicago, there's probably a flight every hour
and a half to New York or to I don't
know where, uh you know, a.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Big lady whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
But like that's that's a dangerous game to play because
you're assuming that you're going to just get on the
next flight or the one after that or the one
after If anyone here has ever played the standby game before,
then you know that game you told you you could
wind up having to leave the next day or two
days later or staying for so that is that doesn't
make sense, like you're not the Only way that works
(14:04):
is if you're guaranteed to get on the next flight,
in which case you're like, I'm gonna miss it, I'll
just go to the next one, which that sometimes works,
but it's not gonna work every time. And so this
guy's talking about, Oh, in my life, I might waste
one hundred hours, you know in the airport. No, you
might waste days if you don't get on the flight
you're supposed to get on it, especially depending on where
you're trying.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
To go, right, And I'm not wasting time. I am
enjoying the Hampton what is it called stand or whatever.
I'm going to the chili. Yes, I'm eating a pretzel.
Like you got enough.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Time, you're gonna sit down macaroni grill if you've got
enough time waste.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, I love the airport vibes me too.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
They got that frontier at Grill Bayliss made that for you.
You can go that right now that before he did
that for you.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Once you get through TSA, it's like being at disney World,
you know, because you know you're going somewhere, you're excited
about it.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Most times there are no rules because you know you're
gonna spend money. It's gonna be expensive.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Like such weird restaurants in the airport, Like are things
that like I've never seen before, like in normal life,
Like why is like I understand there's a chilies, but
like whatever restaurants you just said, Like I've never seen
that branch of it that wasn't in an airport.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh, it's interesting. The one that gets me is in
the American Terminal in Chicago. In O'Hare is a dive bar.
If you'll walk by, you'll know it's like a black
it's like a black hole and it has neon signs
and like a like a TV from nineteen ninety and
it's just a bunch of old men sitting at the
bar like somehow they like are regulars, you know what
(15:40):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
But you can't. You have to have a plane ticket.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
But right like you can't just show up there, like
I don't know what you like, you have to these
guys just buy a ticket every day, Like what do
we do? They just look so comfortable there, and there's
like peanuts on the thing and it's it's a dive
bar like and I've never had time to go in there,
but but yeah, it's it's the American terminal in O'Hair,
you will see it.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Until very recently, I always thought who would be getting
those massages at the airport?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
And then you and I food somewhere.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
I don't remember where we were going or why I
had time, but I was like, let me go in
there and take a ganders.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
So I paid for a foot massage from a nice
Russian man.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Amazing, Sure, why not?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (16:15):
And it felt amazing, and I was like, you know what,
I should treat myself more at the airport.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
There you go the other thing I gotta be careful about.
And I think they do a pretty good job. But
you know a lot of these airports, like at sporting
events and other things, they brand they're like it's generic food.
It's like that's Cisco. It's like, what's that company that
does all their food?
Speaker 8 (16:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Maybe well Gordon, Yeah, I think they're one. What's the
other one?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I'm thinking of though the guy who owns the Houston
Rockets owns the company. It's another one of these big,
big food companies that it's licensed. So like it'll say
Hubbard in food like at Midway for Chicago, but it's
somebody's making it. It's one it's a cloud kitchen somewhere
(16:58):
that's just making everyone's recipes, you know what I mean.
So it's like you gotta be a little careful. Like
sometimes I'm like, oh, you know, neat, it's gonna be whatever,
And it's like it tastes like everything else because it's
it's at the airport. It's like, you know, Harry Carey's
at the air but I think they still do that
and Harry Carrey's I'm not a huge Harry Carrey's guy,
but like it's the Harry Carey's people are not back
(17:20):
there like you know, you know, whipping it up or
it's like, you know, the same guy that's making your
your whatever hot chicken Nashville hot chicken sandwich from the
other places making it and they do a good job,
but it's like it's not you know, it's like like
they got a they got a what's it called, Oh god,
that uh the place that's in the started in the
(17:41):
west Loop. Another Chicago place. Okay, you know what I'm thinking?
Start for the Pea, a.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Restaurant that started in the west Loop.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Oh god, why am Why am I the EVEC people?
Why am I going blank on this one of the
first restaurants I went to. You're talking about Chival not
such with an a.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
You were thinking of something I thought maybe you were
thinking of the wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Arlor, pizza, Peanut Park.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Why am I banking on this? No, I'm going to
say it. You're gonna be like you dumb publican publican.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That's what I know.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
There's a publican, you know, hair and I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I don't think it's the publican folks, Like I don't
think the publican folks are back there, you know, whipping
it up. I think it's like just whomever, and that's great.
They probably do a good job. But like, it's not,
you know, the same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
But is my home running pizza really a home running.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Because they're frozen? I think some of them are frozen.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
They're not, well maybe at the restaurants they are, but
I know you that, hey, home run in is one
frozen pizza that you can get. That's pretty darn authent
It really holds us.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It's the best one.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
You get it from the Jewels, bring it to the
airport and warm it up.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah. Yeah, So I don't agree with this guy's airport theory.
I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I don't think it's a good idea. I think I
think you should probably show up and try and be
on time for your flight, or try and get on
that flight, because I feel like you could. You could
wind up spending a lot more time than he's saying, right.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
And then you show up late, and then TSA is
trying to work you through the line because you're late.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
And then they do that.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Sometimes they'll you know, like, oh I really need to
make this one, so they'll cut other people and then
I already gotta get the clear. Folks like Fred with
all the little they just scrolling on past too.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
It's a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I'll tell you something else, though, is that the clear
and the TSA pre check That used to be a hack,
and I don't think it is anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Everybody has right.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Sometimes the other line where you take your shoes off
is shorter than the pre check line.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I love when that happens.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
So you're right, So you got to like you got it.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
It's not what it used to be. But the thing
that everyone needs to get is global Entry. That is clutch.
Global Entry is clutch. We went to Toronto for that thing,
and you were in the back of the line where
all the people just came in from Mexico City and
Boston and I just cruise right past. They just look
at you and go, Okay, you're good, and you move.
You got to get that here. A day later, you did.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Lisn't around with y'all. Yeah, they left me at the airport.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
No.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I texted you. I'm like, hey, are you good. You're like,
I haven't even gotten through customs yet. I'm like, I
just put my shoes on right. Yeah. No, exactly like no.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
She she was in the back of the line for
the Avelo flight that landed like an hour after us.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Every time I go to the airport, every single time
is the same for all the pre check, the pro check,
this the witchcraft. It's all five minutes, all ten minutes.
So I refuse to pay Global.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Well, now, the other thing you should do is look
at your credit card because it's a lot of times
it's free, and you do I know you, I know
your credit card. A lot of.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Times if you get pre check and you use your
credit card to pay for it, they credited back. I
have most credit cards are doing that.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Now I gotta do that.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
You should look how do I sign up?
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Where do you go?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Like now it's easy. Back in the day, you used
to have to go, like for Global Entry and pre
check together, you had to go to the airport and
be interviewed. I think for Global Entry you still do.
But now this was years and years and years ago.
Now I think they do the like Staples does he interviews,
Like I think some dude.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Named Dan your interview.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Okay, I wore a tuxedo. I wore a tuxedo.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
It was proved that you're like eligible for this like
elite group of people.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
No, but at the time this was again this is
probably a decade ago. I had to drive to O'Hare.
I had to go to the international terminal. I had
to book an appointment prior, and then I had to
sit down with a customs agent and they had to
like go through and ask me a bunch of questions.
And then they were like, dude, if you get a
dui or any kind of crime. This gets revoked. If
you go to any country that's on the you know,
protect the list where you're not supposed to go, this
gets revoked because I will say, if you have it,
(21:31):
like when I got back from Brazil a couple of
months ago or whatever, they scan you. You just you
never stop walking like you walk and then they scan
your face and they go okay, and there's no conversation.
They're not asking you any questions, you know, you know,
do you have anything to declare or whatever. You just
cruise right in like they they're trusting you.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Do you know that Taylor's security at all her events
has facial recognition, So if there's anyone that's like stalked
her before, loves her a little too.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Much, we all had to submit pictures when we met her.
Oh really, yeah, names and pictures.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
They know everything you did.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And I don't know if that was because of security
and or because she has a team of people to
prep her for everyone she's going to meet, which is brilliant,
It is absolutely fucking brilliant. But yeah, I would have
the same thing if I were famous. I would have
somebody be like, hey, you're about to walk into a
room and it's Dan, and you know Dan's the program
director of this radio station. And the last time you
(22:27):
met Dan, he had his two kids, Sally and Bob,
and they cry when they met you and you talked
about the Superman. And I'll be damned she didn't walk
up and go, hey, Dan and Sally and Bob and
how so you're a big fan of Superman, aren't you?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
And these kids just like she makes their life exactly.
And I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
She can come out with some shitty ass songs and
and and Dan's gonna play them because because because she
made Dan's kids, Bob and Sally feel like they were amazing.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, it is so smart.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
It's so smart, Adam Sandler.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
That's why he loves her because she was so great
to like a lot of people say, oh, she was
so great to my kids. That's why I now love her.
But do you know politicians do this? And I was
just listening to a podcast with Aubrey Plaza, who I love,
and she was saying that when she toured the White House,
she saw Joe Biden's paper that was notes on her,
like Aubrey like also from Delaware, like whatever, and she
(23:18):
she stole it and no one got her for it,
but like she stold it right off of his desk.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
And so I guess politicians do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Our big boss and our chairman does that too. Uh smart,
Like if I'm going to go see him then and
then he'll ask the folks like our boss and bosses
to put together a thing because the dudes like he
oversees all this stuff, like he.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Doesn't really so he never gets anything, is what?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Well he didn't. I don't think he knows what. I
don't think he knows my name. I don't know if
he knows.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
I'm saying, like if other people are supposed to handle
sending all these oh yeah, it's not Jason or I.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I don't know who's sending the recap of it.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Well, I can only imagine what's in there. Right, I'm
saying number one.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
But Barroy hanging on by a thread. I mean, that's
the way they view us around here. It's kind of funny.
It's like, you know they're number one, but oh, it's
only one person or right. I'm like, okay, well, we're.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Trying a win.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Is a win?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Manah, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
But no, it's smart though, So then I show up
and it's like dudes like, oh, so you know, hey whatever,
And I mean, I don't expect him to know all
this stuff, like how could he possibly? But that's what
I would do if I were famous. I would have
somebody that whose job, only job it was, was to
make sure that everybody I met felt special and I
don't have to remember this scrap because I'm terrible at
(24:34):
stuff like that. I am awful at remembering names and
stuff like that. And then I would have that same
person write thank you notes that I would then just sign,
or I would hire, like if I'm Taylor, I would
hire someone who had girl handwriting, and that's all they
would do is follow up on every person I ever met,
because I think she used to write them, and now
everybody who meets her gets a thank you note. But
I don't think there's no way she's writing those anymore.
(24:57):
And I think it's genuine. I think she actually cares
about the experience. And I think she's also really strategically smart, yes,
I think, And I don't think she has to worry
about airport logic or airport law because the PJ leaves
when she shows up right, and that's just that.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
A lot of other people have pjs, but somehow it's
not an issue when they have them, but when mother
has a piece.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Nobody should have an issue with someone like that having
a peak. Don't get me staying you know, I'm I'm
an airplane guy.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Nobody should have an issue working for anything that they
had or have anything that they work here.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I am sorry, but ninety nine point nine percent of
the people who complain about pj's they don't have one,
and if they did, they'd probably like it. So and
I get an environment and whatever, Go get one.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
They didn't stop making them when they made hers. You
just got to go put in some work, make ahead.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Rights, be the biggest pop start in the world, and
then get one or do something.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
People have such an issue with private jets. It's like,
I promise you, if you had one or somebody was
paying for one, you'd get on it and you would
enjoy yourself as you eat your nobu suit SHEI on
your way to the Hamptons or whatever, and you'd have
to sit in traffic. I have a feeling you'd probably
look the other way if you were regularly on a
private jet.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I mean, it's almost a necessity for her, especially with
the tour, like she was going so many different places
and like, okay, yeah, it's like bad for the carbon footprint. However,
does that cancel out all the other wonderful things that
she does.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I don't know. It's just a little exhausting sometimes.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
But yeah, so is some of the crap merchandise she
comes out with. But you know.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Whatever, that's also exhausting.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It is it is some of that stuff that winds
up in the donation pile that you had to have
for three hundred and eighty five dollars or whatever.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Let's talk about that.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
I have multiple drawers that are just dedicated to me.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Do you believe it is the merch getting better or
is it still pretty bad? Cause I remember for a
while even you guys were saying, like this stuff's pretty ugly,
but I'm still gonna buy it, so fifty fifty.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Yeah, Like there is some good merch but she does
a lot like there's holiday collections, there's like I don't need.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Jewelry, you know that's themed for the album.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
She does a lot of different things that I don't
think we need.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
It's plentiful.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
However, I also don't necessarily believe we need every version
in color of the same vinyl. Like that to me
is like I'm like okay, like you could understand, like
well she did a like I don't forget what album
cycle it was, but like every color, the green color
had this special song and the purple color. I'm like, okay, cool,
then I can see justifying like okay, like I'm buying
(27:18):
additional music. But like now she's just like, same track list,
now it's purple, same trackless orange, same track list.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Now it's yellow, and she makes sure right this is
the one and only pressing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
So then it creates some sort of like.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
It so loud, and it's like in that regard, she
hates you all because she knows that people are going
to have to have all of it, and so she
makes a lot of it so that you buy it all.
So in that regard she hates you.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I mean, she got to pay for a private hit.
Don't knock her.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
It all makes sense.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yeah, all right, Well there's the tang covered a lot
of things, but you know, it is what it is.
And also we we are are confirmed for a We're
not gonna say whin or where yet, but we are
confirmed for a Tangent Live, aren't we.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Yes, we are. There is one on the on the schedule.
We are.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
We have the concept of a plan, yes, and and
we have a we have a data and we have
a location. We've targeted a very specific area of our
audience that we have not visited as much as we
could and should. And I can't wait to hear people
bitch about how it's not near their house. Trust me,
(28:29):
I wish we could be a lot of places that
once we got to move this stuff around. We got
to move money around here because we've got to try
and hit everywhere. But we are where. There is a date,
and there is a place, and it is going to happen.
It is relatively soon. So if you like the Tangent
and and we're working on a bit of a variety show,
you know, various forms of entertainment. We're gonna have interpretive dance,
(28:51):
We're gonna have a cover band. We have to have
a cover band. Uh, and I believe it's a new
cover band this time. Yes, I don't know. We have
a listener who's a comedian. I don't maybe she wants
to do it. I think she may be a little
big for it, but maybe we ask her. I don't
know a lot of things. When I have a clown,
we're gonna have face painting and juggling.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
He might have puppies. I have a call on that today. Wow,
now that is brilliant.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
We really need puppies.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, fly over by the Blue Angel. So that's except
at night, so you'll have to, you know, look carefully.
Speaker 11 (29:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Can I have a hot air balloon that goes by.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah, I'm gonna Yeah, I'm gonna make a big exit
from a.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Honorable with the top hat.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
And I'll wear the same TUXI do I wear to
my Global Entry interview. So that's great break out the
no say, we're working on it so for the people.
And then we also have a Thank You thirteen tour
for the people. Uh in Chicago Land. We have one
of those coming up to working on that.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
So it's gonna be a busy rest of.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
The year, busy booked.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
And yeah, I want to see when Jason's heart will
actually explode is what I.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Want to plan. Two weddings.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
Now, wedding ship. Oh there's that.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Oh my gosh, Is he going to have his sleeves
rolled up at yours?
Speaker 2 (29:55):
He might have his short off and.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Nibbles out. You gotta wax your bag.
Speaker 9 (30:01):
Oh my god, I gotta I gotta find a ton
of backs.
Speaker 11 (30:03):
Boy.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
Alright, this is getting stressful.
Speaker 11 (30:05):
Byes.
All right, let's do a tane. Love is in the air,
Kiki's love is in the air. It's mostly all about you.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
You do sound so excited.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
You're the only love in the air I care about.
But hit the intro. It's the tangent giving you all
this ship we couldn't talk about on the air. No,
I mean you got lucky. I got you on you
got lucky. No, let me finish my thought.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
You didn't get lucky. No, no, no, he got lucky
in that regard. I mean you dropped the news at
the right time. Oh yeah, it would it unfairly, would
have gotten lost, and it didn't. You know, you time
the whole thing out perfectly. We're sitting next to Taylor Swift.
You followed it. I mean you planted it out too.
There was a spreadsheet for this, okay. You know you
(00:46):
said you came in here Monday morning, didn't have the words. No, no, no,
it just didn't work with the rollout plan is what
it is. And that's fair. That's fine. It's your announcement to.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Make whatever you want. I mean I had the words.
I mean I don't know you.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
You didn't think what you You didn't have the words
that's that's what you said.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I think when Jason proposes to you, you will.
Speaker 5 (01:06):
Feel in that moment will finally get up.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah, because I really don't have the words, and I
feel like I waited so long to get engaged. I
couldn't come in here and just willy nilly, it wasn't
that wasn't the right way.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
That thirteen don't deserve that.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
They need to be able to see what happened at
the party and put it all together.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
And that's how I feel.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
I love it now, Fred, Were you more hurt, because
it's given that you were was more hurt?
Speaker 5 (01:32):
Were you more hurt by finding out on Instagram?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
That's what that was? It was Itay, that was it?
That was it.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
You don't You don't owe us anything what you do.
Actually you do your radio personality and where you're paid
to be vulnerable, So yeah you do.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
But but no, no, no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
That's not it. I I just couldn't believe that I've that.
A listener told me yes, and my listener is a
friend who also listens. But I don't mean to minimize that,
but I had to hear about it from someone who
was unrelated and then that person was like really, like.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
You didn't know?
Speaker 2 (02:02):
They're messy? Whoever that?
Speaker 3 (02:03):
And then it was like, well, that's kind of screwed up.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
And then I was like wait a minute, I'm like
and then then I called Jason. I'm like, dud do
you guys all know? And then she didn't trust me,
and it's like, no, none of you, none of you knew.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
The question was yes, do you know about Kiki? I
was like what happened? I was like, oh, man, like
does she not try?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Because if you the truth is if you say to
me like, hey, this happened today, yes, I'm not ready
to talk about it.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I would never do that.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Because I respect what we do.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
But when you can do that, but I know I could,
but I would never. And I don't want you to
feel like everybody in the world knew and you didn't.
My whole family did not know. Anybody that was not
at that party fair did not know until they hit Instagram.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
No, I don't care about the I don't care about
the radio show. I was just like, why am I
learning about this from a stranger? And then a couple
of people are going to like even my mom was like,
you didn't know, And I was like.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
No, I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I heard about I learned about it like everybody else did,
like maybe not time a ninety second heads up like hey,
I'm about to drop a video.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
I'm engaged.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
I was shocked.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
I mean, you.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Take a ship, you tell us about it? Like what
do you mean?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
Like I take a lot of ships, and I always
tell them because because here, Like I love that he
said that, like only because I feel like there are
so little secrets in life that just people have, like
you know, And I'm like, that's like one thing you
kind of got to walk around for a couple of
days like and own it and really have it, just.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Like to yourself. Hours. Oh yeah, hours, I have it.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I just I don't know. I've never been engaged before.
I didn't know how this is gonna work out. And
I wish that I had full control over how it happened.
I wouldn't have done it on a Sunday. I would
have had a different outfit. I would you know what
I'm saying, let's do it stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So I don't know. It was you know, it was great.
It was great, and you don't you don't you don't
know anything to anybody. I just I that was my
only thing. I'm like, why am I learning about it
like this? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
All right, shout out to that messy listener.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
It was very messy. I gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
I almost switch gears to something far more serious. And
this is traveling. This is traveling, and people in this
room have very different attitudes about Yes, the airport, Jason.
I'm more like Jason. Now, I don't need to be
there today for the flight that's tomorrow. Like I don't
need to have four meals at the Chili's to go before,
you know, before it's time to go to Toledo. But
(04:34):
I also I'm not the kind of person that if
like the flight leaves it, you know, in an hour
and a half. We leave now, and then we roll up,
you know, right when the door closed, It's like, I can't.
I can't handle that. Like that adds in. I would
rather be at the airport a little longer than add
that element of stress to the beginning or end of
my trip.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
I think you are more like me. You and I
do two hours and he does three. Yeah, I think
that's where we lose time.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Like if I roll in and I you know, if
I can roll, if I can, if I can stroll
up in O'Hare midway, maybe ninety minutes before boarding ish,
and then you know security. If you show up on time,
then security you walk right through. If you're at all late,
then it takes forever. That's just inevitable. But I guess
I'd rather just stroll a little bit. And if it
(05:22):
means I waste an hour of my day, then fine.
But then I'm just not stressed, you know, because we
all know how that we've talked about this a million times,
Like you got to go to the airport, make sure
the airport's there, right, and then you got to go
through security, and then you got to no matter what
you do, you pass the Newport News, you pass you know,
the the CNN store, you pass by the you know
(05:44):
tomorrow or the guy Fee area. You gotta walk right
by nuts on Clark. It's hard, it's hard not to stop,
but you got to make sure the gate is there.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
You do.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And then once we've identified the gate is there and
that is the light and it says it right there, Wichita,
you know whatever, though, Okay, now I can go by
my business, like now now we have the world is
my oysters.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Well, then I go get a water.
Speaker 6 (06:11):
I have to get a water as my next step
at like one of those news stores, so that I
have my own bottled water because I want to be
in control of that. I don't want to just get
water in a cup on the plane's dollar water.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
You know, it's delicious water too, really is it? Really?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
It tastes better than every other water. It does, but
you just this is how it has to be. And
I don't know that I could be truly, I don't
know that I could be with someone who doesn't see
it this way the other I've said this many times
before too. You can't make a food decision based on
the first thing you see, because if your gate is
you know, a fifteen minute walk away, yeah, you might
(06:46):
miss out on the first food option that you saw,
but it's very likely that you're going to see something
better on the way and you just can't make a
snap decision. No, yep, And look, if you're there that early,
then you can backtrack to the the first option if you.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
Must the menus. Look at reviews now.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
I'm not sure if you've ever seen these videos before,
but there's they're from Phoenix Arizona the husband and wife
law team.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
So oh, and that's that's.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Their thing, that's their gimmick, that's their advertising. Hey, we're
the husband and wife law team, and I think they
do divorce.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I don't know what they do.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
They do bankruptcy, I don't know what kind of I
don't know anyway, But this dude is Michael Scott. Like
I think in real life he's Michael Scott and she's whatever.
But like they post these videos of him. Every morning,
they have a morning meeting with all their lawyers on
a zoom and he'll play some like two Chain song
and dance to it. You've probably seen this guy. You
(07:41):
wear suspenders. He's a total dorg. But I think this
is like who he is really. Of course they're playing
on it. I get that you see the personality, but
at the same time, like, I'm not sure that I
could take this guy seriously. Like I know what they're doing,
and the videos go super viral, but everyone's like this
guy's Michael Scott because it's so awkward. Everything he does
is so often. But I gotta be honest, like, I
(08:02):
I don't think I want to go to court with
this guy because I think people will be like, that's
the moron that was dancing to Young MC this morning
in a video. Anyway, here he is talking about his
travel process. He's got feelings about trapped.
Speaker 8 (08:17):
If you don't miss a plane once in a while,
you spent too much time sitting in airport.
Speaker 9 (08:21):
That's very profound.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
Let's say you miss it, there's another flight an hour
and a half light.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
The time spent.
Speaker 8 (08:26):
Waiting for that particular flight, you could have been on
the next flight. People spend two hours at a time
that I don't spend. It adds up over the course
of their life to like one hundred hours of lost light.
I miss one flight like every decade, and it cost
me two hours.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
See this to me sounds like that Shaquille O'Neal gas thing.
Do you remember that whole debate, Yes, with Shaquille O'Neil.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Do you remember this?
Speaker 2 (08:49):
No, I never heard of this. What is it?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Let me find remember that for you.
Speaker 6 (08:54):
It's up there with our tipping topics and other topics
that we have.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
It doesn't make any sense like he's it doesn't make
any sense. And I love Shack, but what he's saying
is not actually a money But this is to me.
It's the same sort of thing here listening to this.
Speaker 10 (09:11):
Ocasion because I told him I didn't want to get
a certain vehicle because of the amount of gas I
would have to spend it. It costs like eighty dollars
to fill it up.
Speaker 11 (09:18):
Then you said, when it gets to half, then you
put twenty dollars you bring it back to full.
Speaker 10 (09:23):
But if I came to I would have to stop
offense what eighty?
Speaker 11 (09:25):
No, you would know you would. Why you're complaining about
when it gets to zero, you spend eighty. Right when
it gets to half, you put twenty. And they want
to get back to half, you put twenty.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Already it's not right because if it cost you eighty
dollars to fill up your tank, right, half would be
forty dollars. So twenty dollars doesn't get you back to full. No,
so that's already flawed. Yes, so he's already raw.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
But I know people who live by this theory of
they don't let their gas tank get below half, and
I don't. I'm like the guy there. I don't understand
the math or the reason of that.
Speaker 5 (10:03):
They're not out there.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
But he he really rides on this, And I don't
think he's kidding. I think he thinks he's serious about this.
Speaker 10 (10:09):
Stop it putting twenty eight the same amount of gas
I'm driving the same amount of gas.
Speaker 11 (10:14):
The average human stops once a week for gas, Right
with you? You only work here twice, you would probably
have to stop, maybe maybe once.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Every two weeks.
Speaker 11 (10:22):
I don't even try it.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
This is all border.
Speaker 11 (10:26):
This is I'm ordering on what's closer the west coast
or the moon.
Speaker 10 (10:29):
Telling me that I wouldn't I wouldn't have to if
I only if I didn't let my gas get down,
I wouldn't have to fill it up as much.
Speaker 11 (10:35):
No, I'm saying, you complained about the eighty dollars. That's
what the conversation about.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You.
Speaker 10 (10:38):
You put four times twenty is eight because I'm gonna
stop four times.
Speaker 11 (10:41):
You're not gonna stup four time. No, you're not gonna
stut four times, not in one week. You're not.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
See, here's the thing. Here's what I'm Here's what I'm
missing about this.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
What is the thing?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
It doesn't it doesn't matter how many times you stop
or don't stop, like the amount of gas that you
that your car uses to transport you is finite, like
it is what it is, Like it doesn't matter how
many times you fill it up. It's just you're spending
less money each time. But it doesn't buy you. It
only fills the tank. Like it doesn't. I don't all
(11:13):
of a sudden get like infinitely more miles. Like think
about it, like okay, let's say a full tank of
gas costs me one hundred bucks. It gets me one
hundred miles. Like this is this is fake This is
fake numbers. It would get you more. It's fake news.
If I if I use half the tank, then I've
spent fifty dollars and I've used fifty miles. Right if
(11:35):
I go put twenty dollars, if I go put twenty
five dollars in, then it gets me half more and
it buys me that many more miles. But then it
doesn't buy me double that man, you know what I mean?
Like the number is the number. The amount of the
amount of gas your car burns per mile is what
it is, no matter how many times you fill it up,
whether you wait till the very end or you or
(11:56):
you fill it up a quarter at a time, and
you I'd argue that you're using more gas, filling it
up a quarter at a time, because you're driving to
the gas station to do this as opposed to just
waiting until it's empty. There's just I don't think that
there's no savings here. No, it's just you're just spending
less money along the way. You're spending twenty dollars or
in this in my analogy, you're spending twenty five dollars
(12:17):
four times as I supposed as opposed to spending one
hundred dollars one time. You know what I mean, Like,
it's just the amount of gas in the car. Is
the amount of gas in the car?
Speaker 11 (12:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (12:26):
Right, Yeah, it sounds like Shaq is stopping too many times.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
It also sounds like these people always have money for
a full tank, which is interesting because usually that's what
it's based on, like how much do we have?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Now?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
See now that makes sense? Like that makes sense. You know,
maybe you don't always have access to one hundred bucks,
Maybe you only can get twenty at a time, so
you just you just put in what you can. Like
that's fine, but it's not. There's no savings. It just
makes it. It makes it more palatable because you're paying.
It would be like saying, I want to buy a
one hundred dollars Taylor Swift sweatshirt, and I'm going to
(13:00):
pay for it in installments instead of buying it at once.
Yeah right, so instead, so I'm getting it for twenty
five dollars for four payments, I'm still paying one hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Right, There's no way around it right now with the airport.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Yeah, Now that's what we were really talking about here
is Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
I wouldn't play that game, like I missing a flight
every now and then, where are you going that you
can just miss the light light right right?
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Don't be there.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
I have to be well.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
And here's the thing, Like he's going, okay, there's a
flight every hour. Yeah, if you're there's a flight every hour.
If you're going in certain like if I'm in Phoenix's
a flight every hour to la If I'm in you know,
if I'm in Chicago, there's probably a flight every hour
and a half to New York or to I don't
know where, uh you know, a.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Big lady whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
But like that's that's a dangerous game to play because
you're assuming that you're going to just get on the
next flight or the one after that or the one
after If anyone here has ever played the standby game before,
then you know that game you told you you could
wind up having to leave the next day or two
days later or staying for so that is that doesn't
make sense, like you're not the Only way that works
(14:04):
is if you're guaranteed to get on the next flight,
in which case you're like, I'm gonna miss it, I'll
just go to the next one, which that sometimes works,
but it's not gonna work every time. And so this
guy's talking about, Oh, in my life, I might waste
one hundred hours, you know in the airport. No, you
might waste days if you don't get on the flight
you're supposed to get on it, especially depending on where
you're trying.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
To go, right, And I'm not wasting time. I am
enjoying the Hampton what is it called stand or whatever.
I'm going to the chili. Yes, I'm eating a pretzel.
Like you got enough.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
Time, you're gonna sit down macaroni grill if you've got
enough time waste.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, I love the airport vibes me too.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
They got that frontier at Grill Bayliss made that for you.
You can go that right now that before he did
that for you.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
Once you get through TSA, it's like being at disney World,
you know, because you know you're going somewhere, you're excited
about it.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Most times there are no rules because you know you're
gonna spend money. It's gonna be expensive.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Like such weird restaurants in the airport, Like are things
that like I've never seen before, like in normal life,
Like why is like I understand there's a chilies, but
like whatever restaurants you just said, Like I've never seen
that branch of it that wasn't in an airport.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh, it's interesting. The one that gets me is in
the American Terminal in Chicago. In O'Hare is a dive bar.
If you'll walk by, you'll know it's like a black
it's like a black hole and it has neon signs
and like a like a TV from nineteen ninety and
it's just a bunch of old men sitting at the
bar like somehow they like are regulars, you know what
(15:40):
I mean.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
But you can't. You have to have a plane ticket.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
But right like you can't just show up there, like
I don't know what you like, you have to these
guys just buy a ticket every day, Like what do
we do? They just look so comfortable there, and there's
like peanuts on the thing and it's it's a dive
bar like and I've never had time to go in there,
but but yeah, it's it's the American terminal in O'Hair,
you will see it.
Speaker 6 (16:00):
Until very recently, I always thought who would be getting
those massages at the airport?
Speaker 5 (16:05):
And then you and I food somewhere.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
I don't remember where we were going or why I
had time, but I was like, let me go in
there and take a ganders.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
So I paid for a foot massage from a nice
Russian man.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Amazing, Sure, why not?
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (16:15):
And it felt amazing, and I was like, you know what,
I should treat myself more at the airport.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
There you go the other thing I gotta be careful about.
And I think they do a pretty good job. But
you know a lot of these airports, like at sporting
events and other things, they brand they're like it's generic food.
It's like that's Cisco. It's like, what's that company that
does all their food?
Speaker 8 (16:34):
No?
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Maybe well Gordon, Yeah, I think they're one. What's the
other one?
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I'm thinking of though the guy who owns the Houston
Rockets owns the company. It's another one of these big,
big food companies that it's licensed. So like it'll say
Hubbard in food like at Midway for Chicago, but it's
somebody's making it. It's one it's a cloud kitchen somewhere
(16:58):
that's just making everyone's recipes, you know what I mean.
So it's like you gotta be a little careful. Like
sometimes I'm like, oh, you know, neat, it's gonna be whatever,
And it's like it tastes like everything else because it's
it's at the airport. It's like, you know, Harry Carey's
at the air but I think they still do that
and Harry Carrey's I'm not a huge Harry Carrey's guy,
but like it's the Harry Carey's people are not back
(17:20):
there like you know, you know, whipping it up or
it's like, you know, the same guy that's making your
your whatever hot chicken Nashville hot chicken sandwich from the
other places making it and they do a good job,
but it's like it's not you know, it's like like
they got a they got a what's it called, Oh god,
that uh the place that's in the started in the
(17:41):
west Loop. Another Chicago place. Okay, you know what I'm thinking?
Start for the Pea, a.
Speaker 5 (17:47):
Restaurant that started in the west Loop.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Oh god, why am Why am I the EVEC people?
Why am I going blank on this one of the
first restaurants I went to. You're talking about Chival not
such with an a.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
You were thinking of something I thought maybe you were
thinking of the wrong.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Arlor, pizza, Peanut Park.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Why am I banking on this? No, I'm going to
say it. You're gonna be like you dumb publican publican.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
That's what I know.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
There's a publican, you know, hair and I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I don't think it's the publican folks, Like I don't
think the publican folks are back there, you know, whipping
it up. I think it's like just whomever, and that's great.
They probably do a good job. But like, it's not,
you know, the same thing.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
But is my home running pizza really a home running.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Because they're frozen? I think some of them are frozen.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
They're not, well maybe at the restaurants they are, but
I know you that, hey, home run in is one
frozen pizza that you can get. That's pretty darn authent
It really holds us.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
It's the best one.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
You get it from the Jewels, bring it to the
airport and warm it up.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yeah. Yeah, So I don't agree with this guy's airport theory.
I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I don't think it's a good idea. I think I
think you should probably show up and try and be
on time for your flight, or try and get on
that flight, because I feel like you could. You could
wind up spending a lot more time than he's saying, right.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
And then you show up late, and then TSA is
trying to work you through the line because you're late.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
And then they do that.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Sometimes they'll you know, like, oh I really need to
make this one, so they'll cut other people and then
I already gotta get the clear. Folks like Fred with
all the little they just scrolling on past too.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
It's a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
I'll tell you something else, though, is that the clear
and the TSA pre check That used to be a hack,
and I don't think it is anymore.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Everybody has right.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Sometimes the other line where you take your shoes off
is shorter than the pre check line.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I love when that happens.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
So you're right, So you got to like you got it.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
It's not what it used to be. But the thing
that everyone needs to get is global Entry. That is clutch.
Global Entry is clutch. We went to Toronto for that thing,
and you were in the back of the line where
all the people just came in from Mexico City and
Boston and I just cruise right past. They just look
at you and go, Okay, you're good, and you move.
You got to get that here. A day later, you did.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Lisn't around with y'all. Yeah, they left me at the airport.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
No.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I texted you. I'm like, hey, are you good. You're like,
I haven't even gotten through customs yet. I'm like, I
just put my shoes on right. Yeah. No, exactly like no.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
She she was in the back of the line for
the Avelo flight that landed like an hour after us.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Yes, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
Every time I go to the airport, every single time
is the same for all the pre check, the pro check,
this the witchcraft. It's all five minutes, all ten minutes.
So I refuse to pay Global.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Well, now, the other thing you should do is look
at your credit card because it's a lot of times
it's free, and you do I know you, I know
your credit card. A lot of.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Times if you get pre check and you use your
credit card to pay for it, they credited back. I
have most credit cards are doing that.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Now I gotta do that.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
You should look how do I sign up?
Speaker 5 (20:45):
Where do you go?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Like now it's easy. Back in the day, you used
to have to go, like for Global Entry and pre
check together, you had to go to the airport and
be interviewed. I think for Global Entry you still do.
But now this was years and years and years ago.
Now I think they do the like Staples does he interviews,
Like I think some dude.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
Named Dan your interview.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Okay, I wore a tuxedo. I wore a tuxedo.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
It was proved that you're like eligible for this like
elite group of people.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
No, but at the time this was again this is
probably a decade ago. I had to drive to O'Hare.
I had to go to the international terminal. I had
to book an appointment prior, and then I had to
sit down with a customs agent and they had to
like go through and ask me a bunch of questions.
And then they were like, dude, if you get a
dui or any kind of crime. This gets revoked. If
you go to any country that's on the you know,
protect the list where you're not supposed to go, this
gets revoked because I will say, if you have it,
(21:31):
like when I got back from Brazil a couple of
months ago or whatever, they scan you. You just you
never stop walking like you walk and then they scan
your face and they go okay, and there's no conversation.
They're not asking you any questions, you know, you know,
do you have anything to declare or whatever. You just
cruise right in like they they're trusting you.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Do you know that Taylor's security at all her events
has facial recognition, So if there's anyone that's like stalked
her before, loves her a little too.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Much, we all had to submit pictures when we met her.
Oh really, yeah, names and pictures.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
They know everything you did.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
And I don't know if that was because of security
and or because she has a team of people to
prep her for everyone she's going to meet, which is brilliant,
It is absolutely fucking brilliant. But yeah, I would have
the same thing if I were famous. I would have
somebody be like, hey, you're about to walk into a
room and it's Dan, and you know Dan's the program
director of this radio station. And the last time you
(22:27):
met Dan, he had his two kids, Sally and Bob,
and they cry when they met you and you talked
about the Superman. And I'll be damned she didn't walk
up and go, hey, Dan and Sally and Bob and
how so you're a big fan of Superman, aren't you?
Speaker 3 (22:41):
And these kids just like she makes their life exactly.
And I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
She can come out with some shitty ass songs and
and and Dan's gonna play them because because because she
made Dan's kids, Bob and Sally feel like they were amazing.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Yeah, it is so smart.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
It's so smart, Adam Sandler.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
That's why he loves her because she was so great
to like a lot of people say, oh, she was
so great to my kids. That's why I now love her.
But do you know politicians do this? And I was
just listening to a podcast with Aubrey Plaza, who I love,
and she was saying that when she toured the White House,
she saw Joe Biden's paper that was notes on her,
like Aubrey like also from Delaware, like whatever, and she
(23:18):
she stole it and no one got her for it,
but like she stold it right off of his desk.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
And so I guess politicians do the same thing.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Our big boss and our chairman does that too. Uh smart,
Like if I'm going to go see him then and
then he'll ask the folks like our boss and bosses
to put together a thing because the dudes like he
oversees all this stuff, like he.
Speaker 5 (23:42):
Doesn't really so he never gets anything, is what?
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Well he didn't. I don't think he knows what. I
don't think he knows my name. I don't know if
he knows.
Speaker 6 (23:49):
I'm saying, like if other people are supposed to handle
sending all these oh yeah, it's not Jason or I.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I don't know who's sending the recap of it.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Well, I can only imagine what's in there. Right, I'm
saying number one.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
But Barroy hanging on by a thread. I mean, that's
the way they view us around here. It's kind of funny.
It's like, you know they're number one, but oh, it's
only one person or right. I'm like, okay, well, we're.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Trying a win.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Is a win?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Manah, That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
But no, it's smart though, So then I show up
and it's like dudes like, oh, so you know, hey whatever,
And I mean, I don't expect him to know all
this stuff, like how could he possibly? But that's what
I would do if I were famous. I would have
somebody that whose job, only job it was, was to
make sure that everybody I met felt special and I
don't have to remember this scrap because I'm terrible at
(24:34):
stuff like that. I am awful at remembering names and
stuff like that. And then I would have that same
person write thank you notes that I would then just sign,
or I would hire, like if I'm Taylor, I would
hire someone who had girl handwriting, and that's all they
would do is follow up on every person I ever met,
because I think she used to write them, and now
everybody who meets her gets a thank you note. But
I don't think there's no way she's writing those anymore.
(24:57):
And I think it's genuine. I think she actually cares
about the experience. And I think she's also really strategically smart, yes,
I think, And I don't think she has to worry
about airport logic or airport law because the PJ leaves
when she shows up right, and that's just that.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
A lot of other people have pjs, but somehow it's
not an issue when they have them, but when mother
has a piece.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Nobody should have an issue with someone like that having
a peak. Don't get me staying you know, I'm I'm
an airplane guy.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Nobody should have an issue working for anything that they
had or have anything that they work here.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
I am sorry, but ninety nine point nine percent of
the people who complain about pj's they don't have one,
and if they did, they'd probably like it. So and
I get an environment and whatever, Go get one.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
They didn't stop making them when they made hers. You
just got to go put in some work, make ahead.
Speaker 6 (25:43):
Rights, be the biggest pop start in the world, and
then get one or do something.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
People have such an issue with private jets. It's like,
I promise you, if you had one or somebody was
paying for one, you'd get on it and you would
enjoy yourself as you eat your nobu suit SHEI on
your way to the Hamptons or whatever, and you'd have
to sit in traffic. I have a feeling you'd probably
look the other way if you were regularly on a
private jet.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
I mean, it's almost a necessity for her, especially with
the tour, like she was going so many different places
and like, okay, yeah, it's like bad for the carbon footprint. However,
does that cancel out all the other wonderful things that
she does.
Speaker 5 (26:14):
I don't know. It's just a little exhausting sometimes.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
But yeah, so is some of the crap merchandise she
comes out with. But you know.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
Whatever, that's also exhausting.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It is it is some of that stuff that winds
up in the donation pile that you had to have
for three hundred and eighty five dollars or whatever.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
Let's talk about that.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
I have multiple drawers that are just dedicated to me.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Do you believe it is the merch getting better or
is it still pretty bad? Cause I remember for a
while even you guys were saying, like this stuff's pretty ugly,
but I'm still gonna buy it, so fifty fifty.
Speaker 6 (26:40):
Yeah, Like there is some good merch but she does
a lot like there's holiday collections, there's like I don't need.
Speaker 5 (26:47):
Jewelry, you know that's themed for the album.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
She does a lot of different things that I don't
think we need.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
It's plentiful.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
However, I also don't necessarily believe we need every version
in color of the same vinyl. Like that to me
is like I'm like okay, like you could understand, like
well she did a like I don't forget what album
cycle it was, but like every color, the green color
had this special song and the purple color. I'm like, okay, cool,
then I can see justifying like okay, like I'm buying
(27:18):
additional music. But like now she's just like, same track list,
now it's purple, same trackless orange, same track list.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Now it's yellow, and she makes sure right this is
the one and only pressing, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
So then it creates some sort of like.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
It so loud, and it's like in that regard, she
hates you all because she knows that people are going
to have to have all of it, and so she
makes a lot of it so that you buy it all.
So in that regard she hates you.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
I mean, she got to pay for a private hit.
Don't knock her.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
It all makes sense.
Speaker 3 (27:51):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yeah, all right, Well there's the tang covered a lot
of things, but you know, it is what it is.
And also we we are are confirmed for a We're
not gonna say whin or where yet, but we are
confirmed for a Tangent Live, aren't we.
Speaker 3 (28:05):
Yes, we are. There is one on the on the schedule.
We are.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
We have the concept of a plan, yes, and and
we have a we have a data and we have
a location. We've targeted a very specific area of our
audience that we have not visited as much as we
could and should. And I can't wait to hear people
bitch about how it's not near their house. Trust me,
(28:29):
I wish we could be a lot of places that
once we got to move this stuff around. We got
to move money around here because we've got to try
and hit everywhere. But we are where. There is a date,
and there is a place, and it is going to happen.
It is relatively soon. So if you like the Tangent
and and we're working on a bit of a variety show,
you know, various forms of entertainment. We're gonna have interpretive dance,
(28:51):
We're gonna have a cover band. We have to have
a cover band. Uh, and I believe it's a new
cover band this time. Yes, I don't know. We have
a listener who's a comedian. I don't maybe she wants
to do it. I think she may be a little
big for it, but maybe we ask her. I don't
know a lot of things. When I have a clown,
we're gonna have face painting and juggling.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
He might have puppies. I have a call on that today. Wow,
now that is brilliant.
Speaker 5 (29:12):
We really need puppies.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
Yeah, fly over by the Blue Angel. So that's except
at night, so you'll have to, you know, look carefully.
Speaker 11 (29:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Can I have a hot air balloon that goes by.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Yeah, I'm gonna Yeah, I'm gonna make a big exit
from a.
Speaker 5 (29:25):
Honorable with the top hat.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
And I'll wear the same TUXI do I wear to
my Global Entry interview. So that's great break out the
no say, we're working on it so for the people.
And then we also have a Thank You thirteen tour

of those coming up to working on that.
