Dreams | Drones | Seat Squatters

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I have a dream. Everything's going great. I'm an entrepreneur
in the radio industry. I'm pretty famous. I'm connecting with
a lot of other people. And all of a sudden,
there's a warrant out for my arrest and I have
the police waiting for me in a nineteen twenty styled
car and they're laughing at me. They're making fun of me,

(00:21):
and they're trying to tell me, oh, you have this
on your record too, And I'm like, that wasn't me. No, No,
that wasn't me. That's a terrible way to wake up
from a dream that otherwise would have been really good.
That was over your nap. Yeah, just now, like I
was asleep for like an hour, an hour and a half.
Maybe that's pretty good.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
It's pretty good to have to jump into a dream
like that that quicklym sleep. Yeah, popped into some rim there.
I don't like it. I don't like it. What were
you watching? Did you watch anything any any gangster movies recently?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
You know what? I actually did watch something really ridiculous
last night. There's a movie called They'd Shoot Horses, Don't They?

Speaker 2 (01:00):
There's a movie called they Shoot Horses, Don't They? Yeah,
why are they doing that. That's the it's the name
of a movie. It's based on a book from the thirties.
It's about the Great Depression era. Uh, it's a it's
basically one entirely set inside a dance marathon, like one
of those old timey dance marathons that people would pay

(01:21):
money to go and watch. These dance marathons. You have
all these people that would just be dancing for days
at a time.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
What that's what I said. It's what I said. This
is what you could have just made this up. Look
at look up, don't. You're just gotta see the movie, Okay,
but just be prepared, like like it's not a typical movie,
but a typical movie. It is really good. But yeah,
I'm guessing something snapped in my brain from this. It

(01:48):
would be my guess. And just being generally sleep depraved,
you know that too, But anyway, a least dephonic on
her X account. Well, we'll revisit this while you're, you know,
doing some recon on They shoot horses, don't they, Right.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I just googled dance marathons. That's the part that I
was fascinated with.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Well, the movie is about a dance marathon. They shoot horses,
don't they? And when they have a question mark in
the title of a movie, are you supposed to say
it like a question? Because that's always it comes off
the tongue. Weird. Hey did you go see they Shoot Horses?
Don't They? I think you can just yeah you can.
I watched this movie called They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

(02:28):
And it was pretty good. It's tough, or do you say?
I watched a movie called They Shoot Horses, Don't They?
And it was very good.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
Thousand hour marathons, thousand hour marathons in the nineteen thirties,
dance marathons. I told you they didn't have video games
back then, did they?

Speaker 3 (02:45):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
And I mean spectator sports were not really as popular
unless you lived in a big metropolitan area. You know
what I'm saying. The movie does a good job of
showing how miserable that could have been for someone. Yeah. Yeah,
it's crazy anyway, at least aphonic. Who is Donald Trump's
nomination for Ambassador to the United Nations? Put this on

(03:11):
X this morning. It's a picture of her and you'll
never guess guess who she's taking a photo with. And
they both have the thumb straight up. Let's just throw
out there that it's an unlikely person. Uh, jiminy Glick,
that'd be very unlikely. No, the sweater man, it's her

(03:33):
and the sweater man standing next to each other with
spiles and two thumbs up. Ali says thank you to
Senator Fetterman for hosting a very productive meeting where we
discussed our shared commitment is standing with Israel and combating
anti Semitism. Senator Fetterman shared his ideas for strong national
security leadership, and I highlighted my ideas on implementing President
Trump's America First, Peace through Strength national security agenda. And

(03:56):
here's the photo. Take a peek. Those don't look like
two people on the opposite side of the aisle. What
are you studying? What are you looking at? I was
trying to see if he was wearing slacks. No, well
that's got to be shirt. That's gotta be shorts, shorts.
Oh yeah, he's a shorts guy. He's a shorts guy. No,
it's shorts. You can't see all of it because I'm sure,

(04:18):
I'm sure he was like only filmed me from the
knees up.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
You're gonna wear shorts, not that defeats the purpose of
the short.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Is that a car heart sweatshirt? It is. It's a
car heart sweatshirt, very trendy, and he rolls up the
sleeves to the elbow. In the lease, she looks like
a congresswoman, right, she's wearing congresswoman stuff. And she's standing
next to this guy who's a major player in the Senate.
Right now, he's wearing a sweatshirt, a hoodie as always.
How many hoodies he think he wears? Does he have

(04:46):
a rotation? Yeah? I mean he's got to be worth
enough money now or he can buy multiple hoodies. I'm
also interested in the shoes, right, it's either sneakers or
flip flops, bick or poison there anyways, Oh, come on,
even calm, they have a line. Could have fooled me.
Oh boy. Fetterman replied to this on axt the sweater

(05:11):
man himself, and he, I mean, the guy is he's
is he playing us? Is there something going on here?
It's hard for me to think that there's a Democrat
doing this much work with the opposition. But he says
it was always a hard yes for at least to phonic,
but it was a pleasure to have a conversation. I

(05:32):
fully support defunding u n r w A for its
documented Hamas infiltration and fully look forward to her holding
the un accountable for its endemic anti Semitism and blatant
anti Israel views. Uh, what do we think about this?
What do we think about this? I mean, my my
brain is kind of like this is like the fifteenth

(05:54):
different thing in the last couple of weeks that Fetterman
has been connected to that either a makes common sense
or B is outright supporting Donald Trump policies. This is
one of the most high profile Democrats in the center
right now. Maybe his profile is big because he wears
a sweatshirt everywhere, but still he's got a high profile.
He's got that D next to his name. I don't
know what to make of this stuff. This is crazy

(06:15):
to me. Well, if you want to call in, you
can four h two, five, five, eight to eleven ten
on the sweater man. Should we see this as a
turning of the tide of the Republicans making enough sense
that the Democrats want to play ball and he's just
the first to cross the line, or is this more
of No, he's really just trying to make himself seem
better and try to become allies with the new regime

(06:38):
more so than anything else, which is also plausible. Well,
you can call in four h two, five, five, eight,
eleven ten news radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Emrie sunger On news radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
So they're just like dancing the whole movie. So no,
all right, So the way it would work is they
would have little breaks, but they'd be small breaks, and
you really couldn't get good sleep, and you really couldn't
eat that much, and you really couldn't do anything else.
And there's all this behind the scenes stuff because you
get to know a lot of the people that are
lasting this long, right because there may be you know,

(07:13):
one hundred and fifty couples that will start in this
dance marathon, but they pick them off by the end
of the first day pretty easy. But at the end
of the first day it's I mean, there's what like
forty and they come up with all these different challenges
to try to eliminate some of them, and it's all
for like the people who are doing it are doing
it to try to win money, and the people that

(07:34):
are coming to watch. There's no television at this point,
there's there's, you know, the entertainment value of this and
the great depression. They want to have somebody to cheer for. Right.
This is like a live variation of a dancing soap
opera essentially, because the mc guys up there and he's
talking about all these different people and there's like a

(07:55):
storyline that kind of develops and he's leaning into that.
It's all it's all for the show, right, And there's
a lot of dramatics that go into it. But I
don't know. It must have made me feel something because
my dreams who they are wonky to say the least
as of right now. So yeah, yeah, it's pretty crazy. Anyway,

(08:16):
I highly recommend that film. Got this other note that
came across the old desk. Here there is brown snow
falling over Rumsford, Maine. Brown snow. Now the town trying
to figure out what the heck this is in Local
officials determine the cost to be a malfunction at a
paper mill in town, and the mill had apparently released

(08:37):
a papermaking byproduct called black liquor into the area, which
resulted in precipitation of brown or tan colored snow. They say,
don't touch this abundance of caution, don't come into contact,
don't ingest it. They do believe it's non toxic, but
it could potentially irritate your skin, And they say, in

(09:01):
order to alleviate public concerns, the mill has agreed to
pay for third party testing, which will be done independently
with snow samples that will be sent to a lab
with a protected chain of custody. Based on the guidance
from Deep, we are confident that the public safety concerns
are minimal at this time. So what do you think.
They're hoping some rain washes this stuff away? But would

(09:24):
you be packing up and moving immediately? Like what would
be your reaction to this if you were in Rumsford,
Maine and all of a sudden, brown snow's falling from
the sky, and it's not like super brown, it's just
kind of like hint of brown, like tan.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
I wouldn't touch it, but I'd give it a you know,
give it an old sniff.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
You'd give it a give it, yeah, you'd give it
an old sniff.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I'd give it the old you know, test it out
on the old factory bulb, you know, So you see what,
aren't you curious?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
No, no, no, this is I had a weird thing
to do. This is the kind of thing and I'm
not trying to be you know, hater run industry, but
this is the kind of thing where you kind of
need some regulations as to what is and isn't going
into the air. But yeah, this is the kind of thing.
I've watched movies about people getting in contact with this

(10:11):
sort of thing and then they all of a sudden
have some like it goes one of two ways. Either
you're a superhero or you have terminal cancer like pick one.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
I don't think it goes the first way in the
real world. Oh okay, well that's the risk these stories
to make us forget about how brutal the real life is.
Imagine that could go a good way, and then we
write a story about it, and we imagine and we
close our eyes and it makes us feel better.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
And now an eight year old in Rumsford, Maine is
going to run out into the snow and roll around.
Uh huh, don't do that. Try to gobble up a
bunch of it, just like this is the kind of
thing that's going to make me in the Superman. It's
not keep everybody safe. Well, you will let you know
what the results of that. Appreciate the person who reached
out to me on X to let me know. Yeah.

(11:00):
TMZ also is following around everybody of No. I don't
know how they do it, but apparently fellow inmates have
answered questions live on television and they they basically linked
up audio. They could talk to these guys inside the
prison east in for now while he awaits trial. And

(11:25):
apparently he's by himself and is not unable to interact
with any other inmates, and they're like, yeah, free Luigi Man.
His living conditions suck. Oh, I didn't know who you
were talking about it first. Oh sorry, I didn't say that.
The whole time you were talking. I thought you were
talking about Diddy. No no, no, no, no, yeah TMZ

(11:46):
Luigi my bad, this Luigi Man jone. And they say
his condition suck. He's all by himself right now in
a isolated cell, and basically they said he needs to
get out of there because TMZ somehow has a way
to talk to the inmates of this prison that he's
sitting in. I have no idea how they're doing this.
I have no idea how they're doing this. Well, they

(12:08):
could have called TMZ the inmates. Why would they be
calling TMZ What else they got to do? I don't know,
call a family member, Yeah, it's probably a better idea,
or a friend or playing video games in their cell
if they're one of those guys. I was watching this
documentary of death row in Indiana because they have death
penalty there and there's like twelve guys on death row

(12:30):
and this journalist kind of like talks to some of
them and like looks at sees what they have in
their cells and all that stuff. And I mean, these
are guys that basically just being are waiting to waiting
to see if they'll get a new trial or waiting
to get lethal injection essentially, and some of them have
made pretty cozy arrangements in their cells, like have video

(12:51):
game consoles and a bunch of books and all that stuff.
It was fascinating. You can find it on YouTube. But yeah,
you think Luigi's going to have a video game console
in his cell keeping company? He's a big reader. I'm
sure he requested more books. I wonder if TMS's going
to get that information out there, and then we'll be like,
how do they know this?

Speaker 2 (13:12):
What do you think Garfield guy reading some Garfield comics, Luigi,
why not just because he likes Lazagna?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Is that you be about bias against Italians? Again? I
can't believe you did that bias against Italian. He must
like Garfield because Garfield likes Lazangna. I believe he could
relate to John R. Buckle.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
You know, now there's a guy squeezed by life, right,
John Rbuckle?

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Does anything go right for that guy? No?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
He is, he is under double gravity at all times.
And he's got this terrible cat that hates him.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
I mean like they never get along. That's like the
one thing that you're missing in some Garfield comics. It's
just like some sympathy for John. And you know what
I want to know, why does this cat hate Mondays?
He doesn't work, he doesn't do anything day to you Garfield? Yeah?
And why why do we continue to give Garfield all
this attention? I mean he's really just a really just

(14:07):
a bad cat. Just he's feisty and he's he's angry
all the time. He's he's mad at the dog. The
dog just wants to have fun, Like the dog's not
doing anything wrong to him, right. I've often wondered this.
Maybe I read this online.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
I don't want to steal it if I have, But
the idea that Garfield is actually just John Arbuckle projecting
his thoughts onto Garfield, like that he's just a lonely
guy and he just kind of talks for his cat,
because why would the cat hate Monday?

Speaker 1 (14:35):
So basically, what you're saying is this is some sort
of inception where John Arbuckle and Garfield both exist, but
Garfield the comic strip is some sort of interpretation of
John's thoughts, and Garfield is like that Garfield is kind
of representing the things that he hates in life.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
And you know, it doesn't have to go in a
weird way. I mean, I think it's it's very normal
for like do you ever talk for your dog? Not
everyone does that?

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Ever?

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Have you ever seen some of them maybe like talk.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
I feel like it's more common for like cat owners
hold that thought or the hold that thought.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Because I think we're getting into interesting territory for real.
Here we'll hold on to this for a second. Here
on these Radio eleven ten KFA B.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
And Maurice Songer on news Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Let's recap talking to dogs or cats.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
That's talking for dogs or cat. Okay, so what do
you mean? Have you ever had an animal that maybe
you talked for?

Speaker 1 (15:27):
What does that mean? Just just in a silly way,
like pretending like it was pretending like it was talking
back to me, except I was talking back to myself. No, No,
I don't. I talked to my dogs regularly, but I
kind of always talk to them in about the same
way that I would talk to them. I don't usually

(15:48):
you know, you see some of these movies or shows,
or there are some people My mom kind of is
like this with her pets, you know, just kind of Hey,
I need to say this out loud real quick, and
you're you're alive being sitting in here. I'm gonna talk
to you. They have no idea what you're saying. I'm
not one of those people. I tell my dogs like
are you a good girl? And then there's no response
except for just kind of looking at me like give

(16:09):
me more pets kind of thing, don't. I don't communicate
for my dogs. So the answer is no. But I've
seen it before. Do you think that's what's happening with Garfield?

Speaker 2 (16:18):
I just that I've wondered I wonder if that is
the true meaning behind the skit.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
That would change the interpretation quite a bit, actually, because
John could hate Mondays and he's just using Garfield to
project that. I just wonder, why does Garfield hate Mondays?
He's a cat? Why is he eating lasagna in the
first place? That can't be good for him. Get on
the treadmill, Garfield, What are we doing here? You're gonna
get diabetes? That happens, right, cat diabetes? Yeah, I think

(16:44):
anybody can get it. Oh well, yeah, okay, good thoughts here,
This is good. This is what this is what we
look here. We want to be your source for all
things stupid, ridiculous cat news. So other important news that
is not cat related involves the weather today. It was

(17:09):
cold this morning, but you were talking about potentially some
freezing drizzle, freezing rain that could be infiltrating our infiltrating
our area tomorrow, and that would not be something I'd
be looking forward to. And we're just kind of like
straddling the right temperature for this to not just be
snow and not just be rain, but probably one of

(17:29):
those terrible mixes of both.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
There's a possibility, there's a chance of freezing rain after
three pm tomorrow a forty percent chance, and then freezing
rain and sleet are likely before eight pm, then freezing
rain between eight pm and eleven pm, then rain or
freezing rain after eleven pm. So it's just basically going
to be going back and forth between all those lovely

(17:53):
different weather events freezing rain, rain, sleet. And then on
Saturday it warms up to forty one and rain is
likely in the morning.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Which could theoretically if there's any snow left or ice
or ice, this could kind of help get rid of it.
If it just stays above forty degrees, probably could help
melt that away. Yeah, we wouldn't be out of the
woods though, right because it's just December. We're gonna have
all sorts of different weather event's probably between now and
the end of February, and maybe even after that. Yeah,

(18:23):
you travel during the holidays.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
I got family pretty close, so I get on planes
or anything not a plane.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Don't need to get on a plane to see them. Nope.
Have you heard of seat squatting.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
People who they find a seat and they don't leave
on an airplane.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
They can get on the airplane, but then they take
a good seat and then just refuse to move. Why
would they move because everybody gets assigned a seat. It's
not first come, first sold. Well that's not their seat. Yeah,
oh that's rude. Yeah, but then they won't move, they'll
just ignore you. I wanted to sit in the window,
and maybe you were supposed to sit on the window
right there and their seat. Otherwise this would have been

(19:00):
like a middle seat somewhere towards the back. And they're
just like, I'm taking this window seat because they I
was on the plane first. Nobody's sitting here, and nobody
checks your ticket before you sit down, right, You just
find your seat and you sit down, and it's not
unless somebody says, hey, you know, we have an issue here,
that they'd come over and be like, let me see
your ticket. So what do you think about seat squatting?
How do you handle this? I think that's rude, it's terrible.

(19:22):
But is it worth making a big deal while you're
on this tube, this giant tube in the sky, Well
what can you do? You probably can't.

Speaker 2 (19:29):
You know, you grab them right because you get in
trouble for something like that. Correct, you could always be
empowered to just sit there like dare somebody to do
something physically with them. Well, you always pass a little wind.
You do what you gotta do, you know, chemical warfare,
that's right, nothing illegal about that. So you just want
to be packing, like just on the off chance that

(19:50):
somebody's in your seat, you're gonna have to eat something
that kind of creates that that issue for your body chemically.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Like donkey lips from salute your shorts. What a pole?
Gosh beans tonight, gosh the nineties, early nineties, kid over here,
if you couldn't tell, gee, is that was a great show?
What a pole? Forever in our farts? Oh yeah, no,
that there's somebody out there listening to just like these
two guys are having a really strange show so far,

(20:21):
and we are, we are for whatever it's worth. But no,
what I'm saying is, you know you're gonna have to
let those go at some point anyway, and everybody's gonna
eventually know it's you. So that's probably a bad idea.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
What I'm saying is if no, what I'm saying, so
you get to the plane, someone's in your spot.

Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, and you paid for that spot? Did you pay
extra for that spot?

Speaker 2 (20:42):
Potentially potentially really good yeah, I'm saying that. Maybe, Yeah,
you do use some pre planning just in case little
Brussels sprouts. Refried beans. Do what you gotta do. I'm
lactose intolerant. It's an easy game for me to play.
That's so bad.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
It's so bad. How is that bad? He stole my seat.
You're going to have to let that go anyway. The
people on the plane are going to be stuck in
a tube in the sky with you and your terrible
refried beans farts.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
No, I'll stand there and I will fart the guy
out of my seat.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
That's how you do it. That's how the game is played.
We're not fired by the end of this show. Why
would I get fired? Both of us me for continuing
to have you explain yourself here? Oh, this is the
best idea I could come up with. I don't know.
You can't physically, you can't grab the eye right, and

(21:38):
the flight attendant generally will not want to do that either.
Physical altercations on a plane not good. I know what
you do is is okay.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
So you establish yourself that way, right, how with a
little squeaker you establish yourself and then you look the
guy you meet him in the eyeballs, which is tough
because he's purposely not making contact.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Correct is not even he's he's acting as if he
is the only person on this plane.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
You got, maybe you gotta crane your neck a little,
and then you just basically say I'm gonna sit in
the seat next to you. Do you want to sit
around for three hours with this stuff?

Speaker 1 (22:10):
You could say that, and then the person that was
supposed to sit next to this guy is gonna be like,
you took my seat. Yeah, well, you know what, You're
there to prove a point. Now you're the seat squatter, right, Well,
you gotta do what you gotta do. You know, Look,
it's just you're you basically.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Are Look, you're you're the boof and Batman, Okay, that's
what you are here. Batman maybe has to break some
laws to bring some people to justice, and you got
to do that too, to bring a guy to justice
that's literally gonna ignore you the entire flight.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
I don't know. I'd be mad. It wouldn't be that
a good deal to me if I didn't pay extra
for the seat. But if I was supposed to sit
window and then I had to sit middle because the
guy took my window seat and raise a little bit
of a figurative stink about that two forty eight. If
you've seen a seat squatter, if you have a better
idea of how we can handle this, please call us

(22:58):
a four H two five five eight eleven ten, News
Radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 4 (23:03):
And Maurice Sunger on news radio eleven ten KFAB.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Well, this is becoming apparently a trend on airplanes where
some people who just don't have any courtesy for anyone
else decide I'm going to sit in a seat that's
not mine and dare somebody to do something about it. Well,
we got a couple of calls. Nate's on a phone
line four with two five five eight eleven ten. What
do you think, Nate?

Speaker 3 (23:25):
Well, I actually used to work at the airport for
one of the airlines, and we had folks that would
like switch seats, not tell anybody who think they could
get away with it. Well, if the count was off,
like then they'd count by certain sections and like, oh hey,
somebody's not actually supposed to be in that particular seat,

(23:46):
and they'd force them to move out for the wait
and balance of the aircraft. But Madam with you, I
always kind of load up, you're ready to go. When
I used to play a lot o.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
A game respects game right there. Wow, I didn't expect that.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Okay, well, Nate, I will say this, it is fascinating
the weight distribution also being a part of that. But
how would you actually get somebody to move?

Speaker 3 (24:13):
You can either move or we have to recalculate everything
and that takes time.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Yeah. But did you ever have a situation that you'd
have to actually by force, like pick somebody up and
carry him somewhere else or.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Not that I remember, Not that I remember had some
drunk passers before. But that's about it.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Interesting. Interesting, Well, Nate, I'm glad that you haven't had
to worry about a squad that's not paying that close
of attention to you. I appreciate you calling in man,
Thanks for listening to us.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
Thanks, love the show, guys.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Thanks Okay, touche h. Looks like I'm not so crazy
after all. Mike's on the line. Mike, welcome to the show.
What do you think.

Speaker 5 (24:54):
I travel throughout the year, maybe about fourteen to twenty
time here, and I travel all the airlines. I feel that.
Simply tell them that your seat and one of the
reasons why is with the contactless payments, A lot of
times that seats actually registered to your frequent fire number,

(25:14):
and if you've got miles, or you'd like to have
a cocktail or maybe springles, they get it on the
right account. So the airline, I believe, is going to
honor your intent to sit where you're seated because you're
paying for it, punch any extras.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
So how would you remove somebody who's squatting in your seat?

Speaker 5 (25:36):
I would let them know that it's my seat, and
then if they wanted to argue, I'd say it's registered
to me. If we need to, I'll get an attendant,
and then I'd let them deal with it.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
They'd have to do something about it, that's for sure. Mike,
thanks for the call. Really appreciate you for listening to us. Yeah,
all right, fair enough, fair enough, Matt, You're not alone.
See squatters. Kevin suggests just spill some water or other
liquid on the squadter. Then they'll have to get up
to go to the bathroom to clean it off, and
then just take your seat back. I don't think that's

(26:07):
gonna work. These are committed people. You have to forcibly
like you have to come up with a really good
way to get rid of them. I don't know what
that looks like. If you want to be a part
of the conversation, calls four oh two, five five eight
