Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dear blog, I had an awkward moment. I have a
lot of awkward moments in my life, but this happened
on Saturday. I was flying back from West Palm Beach,
where I was visiting one of our new stations that
is unlucky enough to have us on. And I get
on the plane, okay, and the flight attendant is this

(00:21):
lovely woman and her name was Miosha. I even wrote
this down, so I got it right. Miosha and I
get on the plane and she goes. She just stares
at me, like hi, and she's like I know you.
And I was like, I don't think you do. And

(00:42):
I'm getting I'm getting to why this is not a
story about me being recognized, Like you'll understand where I'm
going with this in just a minute. But she's like, no, no, no, no, no,
how do I know you? Now? Here's the thing. Maybe
it's from the radio show. Maybe it's from a dating app,
maybe it's from Instagram. Maybe it's from some random TikTok
that went viral that we did. Because Jason and I
have done several that were mindless that got gazillion views,

(01:03):
I have no idea why. Because then I put together
real ones that I actually like tried hard on about
animal rescue or flying or whatever, and no one watches those,
but the one about Jason and I looking at a
speculum for the first time, that one got eighty seven
million views on TikTok whatever reason. So I'm like, I don't.
But here's my thing is, I've had this happen before
where somebody goes like, hey, I know you, and I'm like,

(01:28):
perhaps you listened to our radio show and they're like, well, no, no,
I don't listen. I've never people will say that I've
had it happen before, where I just assume that's why,
and so I always now I just I'm just like,
I don't think you do. I don't know. And she's
like no, no really, and I'm like, no, I just
go sit in my little seat. I'm like, I don't
think so, and she keeps coming over. She's like, how

(01:50):
do I know you. I'm like, miosha, I don't know,
and then the guys then and then finally she comes
over like halfway through the flight, she goes, I figured
it out listen every day and I'm I'm like, thank you.
And then again next to me, he's like, also, you're
like a famous podcaster. Oh no, yes, And this is
what I mean. This is what I mean. Like, if
I assume that you know because of the radio show,

(02:12):
I'll be humbled every time. So I just don't anymore.
I just say I don't think you do. And anyway,
you know, it's weird. I listen to you guys every
day and I feel like I know you and all
this stuff. Anyway, it was a very nice, very nice thing.
She was very kind, very good flight attendant shot out
to United and Miosha and whatever. But that was That's
the thing is if I were to go, obviously, you're

(02:35):
one of the thirteen, aren't you Meoshan, she'd be like
thirteen one. You know what I mean, Like, I can't
do that. I just I can't do it. So I
hope she didn't think I was rude or like being
coy or making her guess, but I would rather that
she come up with it. Then I'm the guy who's like, well,
obviously you know me from my tens of fans, you
must be one of the tens of fans from my

(02:56):
nationally syndicated radio show. Only for her to go, oh no,
I thought you were like in a TV commercial or something. No,
it's not you anyway. I'm telling you, you just can't.
You can't. That's how you get humbled of mine, right right,
right right when my when my Twitter got hacked, and
the person who ever did that to me was, there's

(03:17):
a fake TikTok too, someone's got a fake TikTok of
me there doing the same thing. They're hitting people up
going how long have you been a fan of mine? Now,
that is a question I would ask, but I'm not
the one asking it, just so you know, so shout
out to her. And it was a very nice experience.
But how embarrassing would had been if I hit? If
I hit? Obviously it's because I'm world famous, and she'd say, no, no,
I mean I thought you were on the flight before

(03:38):
or something like, what did you tell the guy next
to you about your famous podcast? I said, I don't
even know. I was like, yeah, I don't know, I
don't know. That's right. I said, yes, yeah, thanks for listening,
And then I wrote him a nasty note. When he
went to the bathroom, I left and I called him
an a hole and left him a terrible note. Asked

(04:00):
if it was me, I said no, it was Miosha.
She did it, waiting by the phone. Is next friend
