health concerns, the holidaycycle.
Here we go again.
All this and more.
Next, on Cabin Pressure.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Sean, remember last week right now we are right in
between Christmas and the NewYear Remember when you were
talking about your buddy Billthat didn't know crap about the
elf on the shelf?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Oh, yeah, bill.
Yeah, I had to tell you this.
He was clueless about theetiquette of an elf on the shelf
.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, my sister Yvette.
She gave me a call and youremember Dylan, my brother's boy
.
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, my greatniece, her name is Josie Josie,
josie, yeah, josie, if you'relistening, this is a big shout
out to you.
My sister Yvette called me andshe had an elf on the shelf too.
Really.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, named Snowflake .
Snowflake, that's awesome, man.
Snowflake's a perfect name foran elf in the shelf.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, I thought it was too.
But she said that they hadplanned on going to, they were
down there for the holidays, forvacation, and that next morning
they were going to the TampaZoo together.
So they walked into thebathroom.
I guess Josie and Snowflake hadleft a message on the mirror,
(01:49):
on the mirror in the bathroom.
Yeah, it said that he had never, or she had never, went to the
zoo and she would like to go andif that would be okay, she'd
like to tag along because she'snever been there.
That's cool, yeah, and Ithought, well, that's pretty
neat.
But the best part of it was shewent to go look for her bag and
(02:10):
Snowflake was actually in thisclear duffel bag.
It's a backpack, clear backpack.
Oh, yeah, how cool is that thiself now knew to get into Josie's
backpack, a clear backpack, sothey could see.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Those little elves are crafty.
They're crafty like that.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I know, but it's cool because they knew that she
can't touch him.
They can't touch the elf.
Oh right, right, right.
So this way they could actuallytravel inside and see the zoo
together for the whole day.
So she had put the elf on herback, took her around, took them
to the whole zoo, came backthat night, put the elf on her
back, took her around, took themto the whole zoo, came back
that night, put Snowflake backdown, went to bed, woke up and
(02:48):
there was another message on thechalkboard.
Oh yeah, what'd it say?
Snowflake said.
I wanted to tell you, Josie, Iappreciate it, thank you very
much for taking me.
I had a great time and I justwanted to tell you how much I
appreciated you taking me to thezoo today.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
That's cool, man.
You know what you know.
This is giving me an idea,because I think I'm going to
leave a note for my wife on mymirror saying I want to like go
to the Bahamas or something nextweek.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
You think it's going to take.
No, you know something?
Snowflake's got a better chanceof going to the zoo than you do
the Bahamas.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Listen, josie.
Honey, I hope that you had agreat Christmas.
I'm glad that Snowflake got togo to the zoo, and Annie Vette
said that she had a great timetoo.
So, honey, I hope you had agreat Christmas, and I hope you
guys have a great new year.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
All right, so what's been going?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
on man.
Let me tell you, you know, thisholiday season it's been crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's been crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It has been.
But you know I'd like to saywhat's going on with you, but I
already know your ass has beensick.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, I cannot believe this.
Like last week, I just startedgetting that little scratch in
the back of the throat and thenhere it comes.
You know, as always, you knowin our industry, you know sinus
infections.
That's like my first indicator.
I know I'm going to get sick.
Like that scratch startshappening, start feeling that
pressure in my head, all thatstuff, and you know what?
(04:13):
I've got a freaking sinusinfection.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Now, how the hell does somebody get a sinus
infection?
I'm in a doctor's office allday.
I just came from the airportstill in my damn uniform and
your ass has been here most ofthe day.
How did you get a sinusinfection?
Lucky I was sitting here going.
I'm going over to thissickling's house and he's got a
sinus infection.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Right, Dude, it's the worst.
I hate them Because this youknow, everybody in the industry
knows sinus infections are theworst.
You can't work with thosebecause the pressure on your
sinuses you blow out your earsand all kinds of stuff, whatever
.
But I'm not flying right now,but even if I was, I just hate
that whole feeling.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Did you just listen to what you said?
The sinus infection blow outyour ears.
Now I'm sitting right in frontof your ass and I'm like okay,
your germs are coming over here.
This is what I'm going to do IfI get this.
I'm going to do If I get this,I'm coming back next week and
I'm going to give it right backto you.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's a vicious cycle man.
It just keeps coming and coming.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
But sinus infections and flying do not go to good.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
But I'll have lots of antibiotics by next week anyway
, so I'm not worried about youcoming back and trying to
contaminate me.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Hey, but I'm going to tell you one thing, folks, and
this is the truth All the yearsI've been flying and I was just
thinking about this If you everhave a sinus issue and you are
flying Sudafed 12-hour, I'mtelling you Swear by it, swear
by it.
Man, it is in my bag, it willalways be in my bag.
I will never leave home withoutit.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, I also have my second backup to that is the
emergency Afrin.
Yeah, oh, afrin.
I mean you have to have, like Iliterally have brand new
bottles of afrin.
I've been on cruise where I'vehad some like new newbies on
board and they're like they getthat ear, ear block and stuff
and they're coming down and I'mlike I just reach in my bag and
give them a brand new bottle ofafrin, because I ain't sharing
no sprays for anyone withanybody.
(05:59):
Be like here, take this, thisis emergency.
You should this.
This is going to clear you.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Allergies, anything man.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, I mean, it's almost damn near instantaneous,
but I swear by that.
Even my sinus doctor was likeyou know carry that with you
just as an emergency, but don'tuse it on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I keep that in my bag all the time, because of the
hotels too.
Remember we talked about thedamn mold that comes through the
air conditioning system.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Dude the germs and the mold and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You wake up, you can't breathe.
Yeah, you can't breathe, sinus,headache and everything's
hurting Air conditioning systemshave gotten better because
we've upgraded our hotels.
Yeah, but they still, though,man, they're still bad.
That mold is so bad.
But you're right.
Afrin and 12-hour Sudafed.
Trust me, folks, those are thenumber one and two things I
would always have with me.
They're in my bag, they're inSean's bag, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Like before I even get on the plane, the hour
before I'm popping Zutafed.
If I even think that I mighteven get close to having that
type of pressure in my sinuses,it's crazy.
But other than that man, I'vebeen just, you know, doing the
same old thing sitting aroundhere working my knee.
It's a slow process but it'scoming along and still working
on books and stuff like that and, you know, just trying to kill
(07:13):
time.
I'm literally was thinkingtoday how could you know?
I don't even know how I'm goingto do this in retirement,
because retirement is coming up,we're going to be retiring
pretty soon.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
We will be retiring.
You will be retiring prettysoon.
My ass ain't retiring anytimesoon.
You'll be retiring.
No, it's not anytime soon, andwe?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
are two men that do not sit still for long.
I mean, we're always doingsomething, right.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Well, I'm still in my damn uniform right now talking
to you.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So if you tell me that I just flew all day, he
literally flew and then flewright in here to my house, to
our studio here and startedrecording.
But you got to do what you gotto do to get this out once a
week, right?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh yeah, but that's the truth, though.
Neither one of us are peoplethat sit down for a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, I'm starting to go batshit crazy man, it's like
this is going to be.
I still got a couple moremonths going on here and I'm not
going to go back to work.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I am gonna go nuts, nuts, but anyways hey, at least
you're gonna see me once a week.
Yeah, you'll definitely see menext week, if my ass is sick.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Oh yeah, yeah that.
I just wanted to mention that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
That's a bonus before you come in there, I'm gonna
sneeze on your microphone didyou hear that sarcasm of me?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
seeing you once a week?
That's a bonus.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's not funny.
All right guys.
Hey, listen, I had seen thispicture and it's definitely a
rant of mine.
People don't understand how badit is when you clog a toilet up
on an airplane.
Sean, oh man.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
That's the worst, First of all.
I mean, there's signs andplacards all over the freaking
aircraft Don't put anything downthe toilet, but toilet paper.
Right, Shit in toilet paper,piss shit in toilet paper that's
what goes down there ExactlyAnything else doesn't go down
there.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't know if they think it's a bin or what.
They just throw all kinds ofshit in there.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I know, but here put that freaking baby diaper or
whatever else Trash in it, theyjust don't trash, yeah, anything
that could clog it up.
This shuts down the wholeaircraft, like that aircraft's
going to get grounded.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But it's worse is when you're in flight.
Now you had two lavatories.
Now you're down to one in theback.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, unless you're on that one.
We have the that are likeuniversal on some of the
aircrafts.
Like one toilet goes down, theyall go down, they all go down,
yeah, yeah, and then that's notgood, yeah, that's.
That's really bad.
I have one time in my careerdiverted for clogged toilets,
but it does happen and you knowwhat.
You don't want to be thefreaking parent or anything that
(09:43):
threw that diaper down thefreaking toilet that causes the
divert.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Isn't it amazing, even in this podcast, how much
we talk about the damn toilet?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, we talk about a lot of shit in that show, but
isn't that the point?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, it is Definitely.
We talk about a lot of shit.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
That's for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Hey, did you see that there's another stowaway?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, that's crazy man.
I just don't get how people cando this, man.
First of all, I mean on aserious note, the one point
aspect about the whole entirestowaway thing is like first of
all, how does that even aspossible happen in today's world
, like with our security?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
How do you get down on the ramp?
I mean, they haven't reallysaid who this was, but if this
is a person that does not have abadge, how do they get down on
the ramp?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, I mean I'll be very interested in this
investigation.
How did that person get to thatpoint?
I mean, back in the days youknow these type of stowaway
things and people you knowhiding in wheel wells, the plane
and stuff been happening for along time.
I mean I think I wasresearching this a little bit
they said like back to 1947 orsomething like that.
(10:56):
This is where it started.
But you know the planes that inthe beginning didn't go as high
as they do now.
But now we go, you know we'recruising at 40,000 feet.
I mean you're going to freezeto death real quick in those
things.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Well, we're going to talk about this person in
particular in just a minute.
But anybody out there that'slistening to this podcast and if
you had an idea of doingsomething stupid like this,
don't read the section that Seansaid about back in the 50s
where they were at 10,000 feet.
Read the part to where it sayswhat happens at 40,000 feet.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, Well, first of all, here's my thought on this
whole thing too.
It's like you know, we all arelike big travelers and
everything like that, but youknow a lay flat seat or a wheel,
well, I was sitting there.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
When I read this, the first thing that I thought is
what made you think that youknow?
Okay, what do I want to dotoday?
I'm going to go to the airport,I'm going to get down the ramp,
I'm going to get into theairplane where this wheel, well,
goes up, and I'm going to rideinside where the tire goes.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, that's not smart.
It's almost like somethingthat's from like a.
If the person did survive it'dbe like a dumb and dumber thing,
like they come out with theicicles and those frozen snot,
snot sickles and stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Okay, we're going to get to that, and this is not.
Trust me when I'm telling youthis bad what happened to this
person, don't get me wrong.
But we're going to talk aboutthe stupidity of this first.
Right, so you get into thiswheel.
Well, the wheel.
Well, right now it's wintertimein Chicago.
Yeah, so say it's in its 30s,yeah, maybe it's a little cold.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's a little cold, a little windy.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
So what's the average takeoff speed?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Depending on the aircraft, but about 125, 150,
some of that.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Okay, so 150 miles an hour and you are taking the
full breeze, dude.
Okay, do you think at thatpoint, maybe this wasn't a good
idea?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
It's not a point where you could just jump off.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I understand that, but you're not thinking this is
a good idea.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You could just jump off.
I understand that.
You know what I've changed mymind.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Okay, so now you're taking off and you're looking at
the ground and you're travelingnow 200 miles an hour and
you're seeing the treetops andthe wheel stars come, and then
that really the funny thinghappens is the temperature
starts to drop First of all.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It's going to be dark in there, it's going to be.
You're going to first.
I don't know how you squeeze inthere with the wheels.
You know there's only so muchroom in those things.
You know they're made to putthe wheels in there.
Right, right, not a wheel.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And somebody else and gear the whole gear.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, there's not like a jump seat inside that
area.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
So and you're climbing from.
You're coming from zero to10,000 feet pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Super quick.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Okay, so from eight to 10,000 feet, even if you're
in good shape, oxygen startsgoing out.
Oh yeah, Right, I mean you'rebasically it's less oxygen in
your body.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I mean once you get above 10,000 feet you have to
get on oxygen period.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You have to.
This just got to be goingthrough your head as you're in
that wheel, well, and it's alldark in there, right?
I don't think these people arethat small, I know, but you
can't breathe.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I mean, I mean you're giving them too much benefit of
doubt.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I'm not, I'm really not I'm just kind of going over
this for anybody that's payingattention that if you thought
about doing this, this justgives you an idea what your
future is going to look like.
But anyway, so now you'reclimbing up out of 10 000 feet
10 to 16 you better hope youpass out they've got to be there
to be.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Hypoxia sits in.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Because you're starting to drop below zero.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, I mean your body temperature is going to
drop.
Hypoxia sits in.
You're going to die prettyquick.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Folks, do you know what the average temperature
outside of an aircraft at 40,000feet is Minus 60 degrees?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Unsurvivable.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Minus 60 degrees.
So now you're up there with nooxygen.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
There's no Canadian goose jacket out there that's
going to save you.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
There's nothing, nothing.
I don't care what you got.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, you don't need thermal long johns.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Nothing, Whatever you grabbed a hold of your hand is
now frozen.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, mittens, nothing, nothing's going to save
you there.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
So all the way out to Maui, you traveled probably
what?
Nine hours at minus 60?
.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You're frozen to whatever it is.
It's no wonder you didn't fallout, because whatever you
grabbed a hold on your hand wasbasically frozen to it.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, that's why he fell out of the wheel.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, when I read this, every time that I read
something like this, it justblows my mind that someone would
think about getting inside of awheel of an aircraft and taking
off like that.
It's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
So if you're out there and if you thought that
this was something that youwould think about doing in the
near future, this guy didn'tmake it.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, this is not a good non-rubbing story.
That is horrible.
Yeah, I mean, there's there'scheap ways to fly, but this is
not the cheapest.
This is not the smart, cheapway they have discount carriers
for their fun.
They don't need that do not goto vago or do something.
Do something with it, but don'ttry wheel.
(16:01):
Well, yeah, that won't work.
That's not a good job.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
But hey, we did.
I'm only going to touch on thisfor a minute because I don't
like talking about this thatmuch, especially in our industry
.
But they did lose an aircraftthis week and they lost some
crew members and they lost somefamily members on an aircraft
and we just wanted to sayprayers to those crew members
that their lives are lost andprayers to the people that had
(16:25):
lost their lives in thatterrible crash.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, that disaster is a sobering moment in our
industry, but we just want towish everybody prayers and
thoughts going out to all thosepeople that have survived as
well and the people that werethe victim of the incident.
But anyways, let's twist thisto Christmas.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Hey, there was a Christmas story I read.
It happened in 2019.
Thought it was so funny.
Do you remember Home Alone?
Yeah, what was the catchphrase?
Kevin Kevin, kevin.
What was the catchphrase KevinKevin, kevin?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, when she realized that she you know where
in the heck's Kevin.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
So there was this plane.
They were taking off and thepilots radioed back to
operations and they needed toturn the plane around.
You know why?
Why, is that the woman on board, the Arabic woman she had left
her infant in the terminal Comeon.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
First of all, you said infant, and how does that
happen?
I forgot I had a baby.
I forgot the thing was hangingon for me for nine months and
I'm just going to leave it inthe airport now.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Got my bag, got my suitcase.
I was so distracted.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
What is?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
it that I'm missing?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, I had my noise canceling headphones and I got
my jacket.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You closed your eyes to take a little nap.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I had my neck pillow.
Oh there's a baby.
Oh baby, Damn, gotta go get him.
Wait, wait, we're getting readyto take off.
Nope, Ding, Ding, ding ding.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Now they had to repeat this twice to the
operations because these guyscouldn't believe she left a baby
in the terminal.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I'm sure they had to repeat it many a time, could you
?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
imagine the PAs going in the terminal.
Anybody lose a baby.
Right, there's a baby over herein a stroller.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, that's crazy man.
Well, first of all, the babymust have been totally chill,
like asleep or whatever, beforeit didn't go unnoticed.
Nobody in the terminal evennoticed the baby sitting there.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Well, I mean, who are they going to call?
They don't know where thisperson is.
Did anybody leave a baby out inthe terminal?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah, not one good Samaritan.
Well, if it had one, maybe theythought it was baby Jesus.
They just left him there.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I just thought that was so funny.
I mean that Kevin story was anAmerican story but an Arabic
airline with that.
I thought that was kind offunny.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, that is funny On a Christmas.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
First of all, it's unbelievable that it could even
happen, yeah, but you knowsomething In our business
there's so many things thatcrazy happen every single day,
and I'm going to tell you one.
So I've been doing the FortLauderdale flights, yeah, now
you know a lot goes on in thoseflights, dude those Fort
Lauderdale flights are just likeI don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I'm not trying to slam Fort Lauderdale or anything
, but we got a mixed bag of nutson the things I mean there's
just so many stories.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
You never know what you're going to get.
You never know what's going tohappen on those flights, because
you got the cruise lines goingdown there.
You got Miami, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Lauderdale, lauderdale, east coast of
Florida.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
You've got such a vast variety of people yeah

Okay, I'm going to give you alittle scene here and give you
an idea of what's going tohappen.

got to sit down.
She goes, I can't.
Speaker 1 (19:49):

Speaker 2 (19:50):
All right.
Any of the flight attendantsthat fly back and forth from
Fort Lauderdale to Miami knowthere's a place in between.
There they do Brazilian buttlifts, and all I can think about
is all I want for Christmas ismy two butt cheeks.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
All I want for Christmas is my two butt cheeks.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
So this girl, she could not sit down.
I was thinking to myself you'regoing to spend the next two
weeks at least right, notsitting your ass down.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Dude, first of all, I mean just all the reasons
behind this is like I just don'tget it.
I mean I'm not trying to bodyshame anybody, because you know
I'm one to love a butt, but Imean don't go buy it.
You know like you're good withwhat you got, but you know I
(20:43):
started reading a little bitabout this Real quick.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
we're just going to touch on it.
Brazilian butt lift theyharvest fat from the body.
So if you ain't got fat, theycan't harvest it from there.
But anyway, that's how they dothe Brazilian butt lift.
They have the silicone implantsand all I can think about is
that you have two implants putin your ass.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Now could you imagine , how bad that would hurt?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I mean, Are they like memory foam?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Like they mold you, I don't care, man Think about
this, this we sat on a wall.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Are there different models, like different sizes you
can get for, like the, which,which, what?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
if it shifted hard soft kind of shifted left or
shifted right.
I mean, your ass would looklike a mess.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I'm sure there's a bad butt job, just like they're
bad, oh my god I was just when Iseen that.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I started looking at this and I was like what, what
happened if?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
one of them shifted.
Yeah Well, we've seen whathappens on the other side.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
It would not when it shifts.
It would not be good.
It would not be good.
But anyway, she was on thereand all I could think about was
this is Christmas, two weeks andyou ain't gonna be able to sit
down.
Oh man, that's Fort Lauderdale.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
That's Fort Lauderdale.
That's Fort Lauderdale, man,you get that traffic a lot.
I mean, I've been on planeswhere it was like the whole
entire back row was nothing butlike six women not sitting on
their legs because they can'ttotally sit down.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Sit down, yeah, there's butt lifts.
But another thing happened.
We had a computer glitch.
Fortunately, we cannot gothrough a holiday season without
one airline getting a computerglitch man you know, in this day
and age it's hard for me toeven fathom.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Why hasn't the airlines yet figured out?
You know our analog system.
We used to have the littleswipe cards and paper tickets
and all that stuff.
Why haven't they just put asystem like that in place, like
when the computers go down we goback to analog, but nobody
knows how to do it anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, I couldn't even tell you this, sean.
I think it's because we're sobig.
Now, I don't think that that'dbe possible.
We're so large, I know, but aplane's a plane.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I mean, we used to do this all the time Like
computers went down.
Okay, all right, we're going topaper.
They'd print out the whole listof the manifest, whatever, and
check people off and on.
You know like there's got to bea way around this.
You know somebody want to getrich out there.
Figure out a system to getaround computer glitches.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Here's the thing for passengers Look, it ain't your
crew's fault, so don't come onthere and start yelling at
somebody because the damncomputer failed.
Our ass is sitting right therewaiting with you guys, and our
day got all jacked up too.
So you know it's the holidayseason.
We're still in a good mood.
Please don't come on the planewith a bad mood.
We don't want to deal with that.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, yeah, especially when it's not our
fault but it's our company'sfault.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Exactly.
Whatever company it is, it'stheir fault.
But hey, listen, let's talkabout what we did.
Let's talk about what we did.
So we're transitioning into thenew year, yeah, so everybody
talks about, like, what they didthis year and what they're
going to do next year, right,yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
What did we do?
There's a lot to reflect upon,and the things that we do and
didn't do in this last year.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
A couple things.
Give me a couple things thatyou did in this past year.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
A couple things I did in this last year.
Well, I wrote a few books, didmy first art show.
That was a cool one, becauseafter I graduated I just last
year graduated from college witha BA in fine arts and
photography, anyways and I mademy first photo book.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
He does have a really cool book on Barnes.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and working on a couple more.
But then I wrote a book thisyear Pickleball.
Everybody knows about myPickleball book, pickleball for
everyone.
Yeah, and then we have yeah,and then you know, I got
inspired with doing all thesebooks.
I made two coloring booksbecause my little nieces were
(24:43):
like you know, they're enamoredby all this.
You know they're that age.
So I was like I'm going to makea coloring book for them too,
because I was just in this modeand right now I got a lot of
time on my hands you ain't gotno damn time.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
You're always doing something just like this.
This number one thing that meand you did is we we actually
started this podcast yeah, thisis a long, this is a um.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
How long did we talk about this?
I mean, how do you feel likeyear two?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It's been at least a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, I mean it was.
It was a long time in themaking, like, and eventually it
was like okay, let's shit or getoff the pot.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But it's kind of cool Cause you learn a lot.
I mean when you from when we'velearned how to one make this
whole thing flow right, andSean's not funny and yeah and
(25:41):
Gary's still that asshole.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Everybody out there understands what I'm talking
about, but anyways, no, it'slike this whole cool learning
process.
So we're like learning newstuff and you know we're trying
to grow this whole thing biggerand better and all this stuff,
and so we're going to move inthis next year onto a next level
too.
That's what I think our futureplans are.
We're not putting any likedates on this, but you know we
(26:04):
would like to move into a videoand maybe into a live situation,
but live live all the way live,oh man.
I don't even know if anybodywants to see that, but who knows
?
You never know we can do.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
We started this far.
We should go a little bitfarther, but yeah, we did start
the podcast.
It definitely was out of ourelement a little bit, but we are
having a good time with it.
Now let's look at this Failureswhat was a big failure of yours
?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Failures- yeah, you have a failure.
No, I'm going to let you gofirst.
What's yours?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Okay, so I was working on an engine and you
know, you're sitting there andyou tighten the bolt down and
I'm tightening it down,tightening it down, and then I'm
just like, okay, I better justget a little bit tighter because
I don't want it to leak.
And then snap, snap the damnthing right off.
That's the worst.
I looked at that damn thing.
I'm like you dumbass.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, you dumbass In an automotive situation when you
snap off a bolt.
I mean you got to tap thatthing out.
It's got to be bored out.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
It's just a pain in the ass.
I mean, you just created two tothree hours of a mess for you,
more work, and all you have todo is reach in there and grab a
torque wrench dumbass.
That's what my dumbass did, andand you know something I can't
even tell you how stupid I wasand it, right next to the other
part, is when you take a littlebolt out and you're working over
an engine, then your dumbassdrops it down into the engine
(27:25):
and it drops down into thislittle bitty hole that you can
see it, but you can.
Can't get the damn thing.
Oh, man.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That is where when you drop things, this is like
the like and they fall intothose little cracks and stuff is
crazy.
Here's a here's a here's a dropstory Like this is totally off
of what we're talking about.
But I was on vacation with abuddy and we were out snorkeling
and he my buddy doesn't likereally greater swimmer and
(27:58):
everything, so he's always kindof like keeping close to me and
everything and his wedding ringcame off his finger and fell
down and you could see it likefalling in the water and it goes
down right between the crack inthe coral.
You could see it down there,but it was way down there.
It's the same thing with thatbolt.
You know like it's the samething with that bolt.
You know like it's the samething that happened, like it
couldn't just land in the sandor land and open.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Any woman out there that's listening to this right
now.
You have to know a situationwhere your husband or your
boyfriend did the same dumbassthing that I did Is that you did
something stupid.
They start yelling and all youwant to do is just close the
door and go back inside.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, like I'm done with this.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Oh man, I tell you that was probably one of the
biggest failures this year,because I did that and then,
back-to-back, I dropped thatstupid bolt through the engine
and had to look at that dumbthing.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Like failure, compound on failure, like you
get smacked in the right cheekand you get smacked in the left
Like, well, here's my, my, myfailure this is my biggest
failure of this year is that wefreaking thought.
You know, we're in a greatfinancial situation.
My wife and I were coming up onlike we, we got to, we're
(29:05):
planning retirement, all thatgood stuff.
And then we got to thinking andwe started we went on one of
our timeshare.
Uh, we own timeshares withMarriott and stuff.
And you're a timeshare guy.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Yeah, we, we, we, we own thesetimeshares and all this stuff.
And so we, uh, we went out andbought another, fucking more
timeshare.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Oh my God, you're that guy that the customs guys
get.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Hey, Mr American guy, you come over here.
You come over here.
We got a deal for you.
I know your face.
You sucker, sucker, sucker,sucker, Come here.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Every time I walk through and they're yelling at
guys that come over, I'mthinking who are those guys?
So I'm sitting across from one.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah, yeah, no, this one was.
We bought it.
But the reason we bought it itwasn't quite that situation, it
was because of the Florida messthat happened down there.
This is a little bit seriousNow.
If you recall, remember thatbuilding that fell down in
Florida, which one?
There was an apartment buildingin Florida that fell down.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
They changed all the laws because of that.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Yeah, yeah, guess who got caught in those laws.
Time shares Was that sharestime, share people.
So if you own a condo or a timeshare in florida, your rates
are going to go skyrocketing.
Your yearly rates is justexploding and right now there's
no ceiling on it, like florida'sright now just keeps pushing
and every year the rates justkeep going up and up and up.
(30:28):
So like what I was paying for atime share for yearly, like if
I was paying $300 for the year,$600 for the year, whatever it
was, I mean now I was payinglike $2,000 a year.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Well, they rolled all the costs that was the new laws
down in Florida.
They rolled all the costs tothe owners of all those condos
and everything, because now theyhave to be inspected Exactly
and they have to be inspectedExactly, and they have to be
inspected and whatever needs toget fixed, it rolled into the
cost.
So now it's going to roll intoyou.
Yeah, so I had some property,you American guy that got the
condo.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So I had two pieces of property in Florida that I
owned that were deeded.
That was part of that freakingstupid law that I didn't have no
idea.
And we were looking at ouryearly bill and we're like, why
is our rates going up so much?
And anyways, long story short,we got sucked into buying more
condo crap just to get out ofthat situation.
So now I'm not in that.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
So if you're one of those condo guys, just email me
later.
I'll send you a picture of himwhen he comes to customs.
Mr Condo Guy.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah man, those things.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
All right brother, here's a quick question for you
Thinner or fatter?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Dude, I think I've maintained this year, Did you?
Yeah, just like it.
Good, I don't think I'm like Ididn't put on a lot of weight
this year and I didn't gain anyweight.
I definitely didn't getskinnier.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Let's be fair, though , you ain't exactly moving
around very much.
No, I'm not moving like I'm notlike you're sprinting.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not.
There's not high exercise rateright happening right now.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
But uh, if you started sweating you'd have a
fever yeah, well, yeah, I don'tthink anything.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
What about you?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
no, no, I'm right about where I normally am.
I'm like between 208, 213,.
Haven't really fluctuated much,so it's been a good year as far
as that.
I try to stay within thatweight frame.
I think this year, though, I'dbe better, probably like 199,
100, 200.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
So your ideal weight is 199?
.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
For me.
I think I would feel a lotbetter.
I just think you're more fitthat way.
So how tall are you?
About 6'1" 6'1".
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So 6'1", 199.
Yeah, man, that'd be like a.
Yeah, Everybody would be aperfect person in that BMI.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
So we're not thinner, we're not fatter, so we're okay
for the year.
We got that one covered, Right,All right.

(42:00):
bud budget budget, because youjust spent load of shitload of
money on christmas, oh hell yeah, right, yeah, you're trying to
figure out way, how?
Speaker 1 (42:09):
how am I going to get through this whole thing?
I was loving looking at this.
A ton of debt.
This last Spent all my money onit.
All the people I love in mylife.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
But when I was looking at this, I was loving
this, because the next one afterthat is pay debt.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
Pay debt.
Yep, this is a vicious cyclethat we're talking about.
The holiday season's come upand we're spending all this
money and we're creating allthese freaking.
We think we have a budget tospend money and then we go over
the budget and we get into debt.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
No, you just unwrapped all them damn
electronic gifts and all thatshit and you're sitting over
there and you're like, oh yeah,I love that.
Thank you very much, I lovethat.
Now you're going to be like ohokay, you got to pay the debt.
Yeah, now I got to pay for it,okay.
So the next thing that you'regoing to do is that you're going
to cut down spending.
You know why you're cutting itdown?
Because you don't spend allyour damn money.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
You don't have a choice.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Your money's gone, you're going to cut your
spending down.
I love that one, and then youknow what you're going to do
after that financially.
Your number four thing we'reonly doing the four on each one.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
I would not know what that is.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
You're going to save, sean, save what you ain't got
no damn money left to savebecause you've got to pay your
damn debt down.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
You've got to cut a budget.
You ain't got no savings thereain't no savings to be had.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Okay, so now you're going through your financials,
and then the next thing thatyou're going to do is that
you're going to be concernedabout your health.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yeah, because you just had a heart attack.
You saw all the bills that justcame through.
They just came, man the mailmanjust delivered all these bills
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
So the first thing you think of you.
Better get that health caremembership right, join that gym.
Right, go to the no judgmentzone.
You're over there with thepurple people, but anyway, so
you get into the health club.
So on the 1st through, like the10th, health clubs are loaded
right.
Yeah, I mean, everybody's in ahealth club.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Everybody's in there trying to do their New Year's
resolution Get their bloodpressure down.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
I'm going to get back healthy.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I'm going to get back on the horse.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Exactly, I'm cutting the budget, I'm cutting the
calories.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
I'm focusing.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
I cut down on spending because now I'm only
paying $10 a month off my gymmembership Right.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
So the first month is probably a buck.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
I love this.
Next one, though, is that theydrink more water.
You know why they drink morewater?
Because they've got no damnalcohol left.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Yeah, the alcohol's been drank already during the
holiday.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
You have to drink it all the way through the holidays
.
Okay, and then this is evengood too.
You're going to eat at homemore.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah, because you have nothing but leftovers,
you've got a bunch of damnleftovers, so that's all you're
going to eat.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Your spouse is like no, we're eating leftovers.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Yeah, because you can't win, you don't have any
budget for it.
We got a 15-pound ham.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
We're getting honey-baked ham.
We're having ham sandwiches forthe next week, and the next
week after that we're having hamand beans Exactly.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Oh my God.
Then what we're going to do isthat we're going to try a new
sport.
What sport would that be?
Pick?
Speaker 1 (45:11):
a ball man.
Pick a ball, pick a ball, it'scheap, cheap A paddle and a
freaking plastic ball.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Get your ass out there, because you ain't got no
damn money, because you'repaying debt, cutting down the
spending and you're not savinganything.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
All right, and then we're going to move.
Of this one, oh yeah, now wegot to get into the mental
health Exactly Because we got tospend.
What More quality time?
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Yeah Right, quality time, yeah, quality time.
That's a great excuse, becausewe don't have any more damn
money.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Can't go out to the restaurant, can't go to the
movies, can't afford it, can'tdo anything because we ain't got
no damn money.
So chalk it up to quality time.
Just mark that off.
Quality time we can sit andtalk to each other.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
Yeah, I'm spending more time and it's because I
want to.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
All right, this is a good one too.
Hey, you get to meet new people.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
No, I'm good with that.
No, no, no, I'm going to meetnobody.
That's all right.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
All right, communicate Sean, communicate Do
you know who you're going tocommunicate with with your
spouse.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
I can just imagine.
Speaker 2 (46:17):
Who spent the damn money?
Speaker 1 (46:20):
Who spent all that damn money?
Speaker 2 (46:21):
Who got all the damn bills?
Speaker 1 (46:22):
man and how are we going to pay for this?
Speaker 2 (46:24):
Now, who has to budget?
Who?
Because I remember what I gotand I see what you got.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
Yeah, there's going to be a lot of communication
happening, a back and forth,give and take type of thing.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
And here's another one.
You get to catch up with oldfriends.
You know why you're catching up.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Yeah, because you ain't got no damn money, it's
cheap.
Hey Sean, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (46:44):
Get together and talk because we ain't got no damn
money after this holiday season.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Right, this is a vicious holiday cycle.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Okay, so now we're through this whole thing and we
paid off the debt, we've doneall this, and then what are we
going to do?
We want to go travel.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Yeah, we got to get away.
We got to get away and we gotto spend more money than we
don't have.
Yeah, we got to de-stress,spend more money.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Because we didn't have any money to spend.
We had debt, we had budgetcutting down, spending saving,
we exercised, drank water and welearned pickleball.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
There you go.
And then by the time we get allout of this, which is three
quarters away into the year,we're gearing up for the next
year of holiday seasons that aregetting ready to come right,
Because we've got to startmaking those budgets.
And how are we going to havethis happen?
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Okay, before we get to the destination, what did you
get for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (47:39):
Man, I got a puzzle.
That's right, I got a puzzle.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
Yeah, you got to pay the bills, and the socks are
going to help you to pay thosebills.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
See, there's always a reason why you get something
for Christmas.
There is a reason, and that ismine.

snowflake, that elf on the shelf, what are you up to
?
What's your favorite holidayshow, holiday budget, debt,
health concerns, the holidaycycle.
Here we go again.
All this and more.
Next, on Cabin Pressure.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Sean, remember last week right now we are right in
between Christmas and the NewYear Remember when you were
talking about your buddy Billthat didn't know crap about the
elf on the shelf?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Oh, yeah, bill.
Yeah, I had to tell you this.
He was clueless about theetiquette of an elf on the shelf
.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Yeah, my sister Yvette.
She gave me a call and youremember Dylan, my brother's boy
.
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, my greatniece, her name is Josie Josie,
josie, yeah, josie, if you'relistening, this is a big shout
out to you.
My sister Yvette called me andshe had an elf on the shelf too.
Really.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, named Snowflake .
Snowflake, that's awesome, man.
Snowflake's a perfect name foran elf in the shelf.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah, I thought it was too.
But she said that they hadplanned on going to, they were
down there for the holidays, forvacation, and that next morning
they were going to the TampaZoo together.
So they walked into thebathroom.
I guess Josie and Snowflake hadleft a message on the mirror,
(01:49):
on the mirror in the bathroom.
Yeah, it said that he had never, or she had never, went to the
zoo and she would like to go andif that would be okay, she'd
like to tag along because she'snever been there.
That's cool, yeah, and Ithought, well, that's pretty
neat.
But the best part of it was shewent to go look for her bag and
(02:10):
Snowflake was actually in thisclear duffel bag.
It's a backpack, clear backpack.
Oh, yeah, how cool is that thiself now knew to get into Josie's
backpack, a clear backpack, sothey could see.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Those little elves are crafty.
They're crafty like that.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
I know, but it's cool because they knew that she
can't touch him.
They can't touch the elf.
Oh right, right, right.
So this way they could actuallytravel inside and see the zoo
together for the whole day.
So she had put the elf on herback, took her around, took them
to the whole zoo, came backthat night, put the elf on her
back, took her around, took themto the whole zoo, came back
that night, put Snowflake backdown, went to bed, woke up and
(02:48):
there was another message on thechalkboard.
Oh yeah, what'd it say?
Snowflake said.
I wanted to tell you, Josie, Iappreciate it, thank you very
much for taking me.
I had a great time and I justwanted to tell you how much I
appreciated you taking me to thezoo today.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
That's cool, man.
You know what you know.
This is giving me an idea,because I think I'm going to
leave a note for my wife on mymirror saying I want to like go
to the Bahamas or something nextweek.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
You think it's going to take.
No, you know something?
Snowflake's got a better chanceof going to the zoo than you do
the Bahamas.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Listen, josie.
Honey, I hope that you had agreat Christmas.
I'm glad that Snowflake got togo to the zoo, and Annie Vette
said that she had a great timetoo.
So, honey, I hope you had agreat Christmas, and I hope you
guys have a great new year.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
All right, so what's been going?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
on man.
Let me tell you, you know, thisholiday season it's been crazy.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's been crazy.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It has been.
But you know I'd like to saywhat's going on with you, but I
already know your ass has beensick.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, I cannot believe this.
Like last week, I just startedgetting that little scratch in
the back of the throat and thenhere it comes.
You know, as always, you knowin our industry, you know sinus
infections.
That's like my first indicator.
I know I'm going to get sick.
Like that scratch startshappening, start feeling that
pressure in my head, all thatstuff, and you know what?
(04:13):
I've got a freaking sinusinfection.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Now, how the hell does somebody get a sinus
infection?
I'm in a doctor's office allday.
I just came from the airportstill in my damn uniform and
your ass has been here most ofthe day.
How did you get a sinusinfection?
Lucky I was sitting here going.
I'm going over to thissickling's house and he's got a
sinus infection.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Right, Dude, it's the worst.
I hate them Because this youknow, everybody in the industry
knows sinus infections are theworst.
You can't work with thosebecause the pressure on your
sinuses you blow out your earsand all kinds of stuff, whatever
.
But I'm not flying right now,but even if I was, I just hate
that whole feeling.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Did you just listen to what you said?
The sinus infection blow outyour ears.
Now I'm sitting right in frontof your ass and I'm like okay,
your germs are coming over here.
This is what I'm going to do IfI get this.
I'm going to do If I get this,I'm coming back next week and
I'm going to give it right backto you.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
It's a vicious cycle man.
It just keeps coming and coming.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
But sinus infections and flying do not go to good.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
But I'll have lots of antibiotics by next week anyway
, so I'm not worried about youcoming back and trying to
contaminate me.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Hey, but I'm going to tell you one thing, folks, and
this is the truth All the yearsI've been flying and I was just
thinking about this If you everhave a sinus issue and you are
flying Sudafed 12-hour, I'mtelling you Swear by it, swear
by it.
Man, it is in my bag, it willalways be in my bag.
I will never leave home withoutit.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Well, I also have my second backup to that is the
emergency Afrin.
Yeah, oh, afrin.
I mean you have to have, like Iliterally have brand new
bottles of afrin.
I've been on cruise where I'vehad some like new newbies on
board and they're like they getthat ear, ear block and stuff
and they're coming down and I'mlike I just reach in my bag and
give them a brand new bottle ofafrin, because I ain't sharing
no sprays for anyone withanybody.
(05:59):
Be like here, take this, thisis emergency.
You should this.
This is going to clear you.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Allergies, anything man.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, I mean, it's almost damn near instantaneous,
but I swear by that.
Even my sinus doctor was likeyou know carry that with you
just as an emergency, but don'tuse it on a regular basis.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I keep that in my bag all the time, because of the
hotels too.
Remember we talked about thedamn mold that comes through the
air conditioning system.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Dude the germs and the mold and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You wake up, you can't breathe.
Yeah, you can't breathe, sinus,headache and everything's
hurting Air conditioning systemshave gotten better because
we've upgraded our hotels.
Yeah, but they still, though,man, they're still bad.
That mold is so bad.
But you're right.
Afrin and 12-hour Sudafed.
Trust me, folks, those are thenumber one and two things I
would always have with me.
They're in my bag, they're inSean's bag, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Like before I even get on the plane, the hour
before I'm popping Zutafed.
If I even think that I mighteven get close to having that
type of pressure in my sinuses,it's crazy.
But other than that man, I'vebeen just, you know, doing the
same old thing sitting aroundhere working my knee.
It's a slow process but it'scoming along and still working
on books and stuff like that and, you know, just trying to kill
(07:13):
time.
I'm literally was thinkingtoday how could you know?
I don't even know how I'm goingto do this in retirement,
because retirement is coming up,we're going to be retiring
pretty soon.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
We will be retiring.
You will be retiring prettysoon.
My ass ain't retiring anytimesoon.
You'll be retiring.
No, it's not anytime soon, andwe?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
are two men that do not sit still for long.
I mean, we're always doingsomething, right.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Well, I'm still in my damn uniform right now talking
to you.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So if you tell me that I just flew all day, he
literally flew and then flewright in here to my house, to
our studio here and startedrecording.
But you got to do what you gotto do to get this out once a
week, right?
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh yeah, but that's the truth, though.
Neither one of us are peoplethat sit down for a minute.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, I'm starting to go batshit crazy man, it's like
this is going to be.
I still got a couple moremonths going on here and I'm not
going to go back to work.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I am gonna go nuts, nuts, but anyways hey, at least
you're gonna see me once a week.
Yeah, you'll definitely see menext week, if my ass is sick.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Oh yeah, yeah that.
I just wanted to mention that.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
That's a bonus before you come in there, I'm gonna
sneeze on your microphone didyou hear that sarcasm of me?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
seeing you once a week?
That's a bonus.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
That's not funny.
All right guys.
Hey, listen, I had seen thispicture and it's definitely a
rant of mine.
People don't understand how badit is when you clog a toilet up
on an airplane.
Sean, oh man.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
That's the worst, First of all.
I mean, there's signs andplacards all over the freaking
aircraft Don't put anything downthe toilet, but toilet paper.
Right, Shit in toilet paper,piss shit in toilet paper that's
what goes down there ExactlyAnything else doesn't go down
there.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I don't know if they think it's a bin or what.
They just throw all kinds ofshit in there.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
I know, but here put that freaking baby diaper or
whatever else Trash in it, theyjust don't trash, yeah, anything
that could clog it up.
This shuts down the wholeaircraft, like that aircraft's
going to get grounded.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But it's worse is when you're in flight.
Now you had two lavatories.
Now you're down to one in theback.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, unless you're on that one.
We have the that are likeuniversal on some of the
aircrafts.
Like one toilet goes down, theyall go down, they all go down,
yeah, yeah, and then that's notgood, yeah, that's.
That's really bad.
I have one time in my careerdiverted for clogged toilets,
but it does happen and you knowwhat.
You don't want to be thefreaking parent or anything that
(09:43):
threw that diaper down thefreaking toilet that causes the
divert.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Isn't it amazing, even in this podcast, how much
we talk about the damn toilet?
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, we talk about a lot of shit in that show, but
isn't that the point?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, it is Definitely.
We talk about a lot of shit.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
That's for sure.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Hey, did you see that there's another stowaway?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Yeah, that's crazy man.
I just don't get how people cando this, man.
First of all, I mean on aserious note, the one point
aspect about the whole entirestowaway thing is like first of
all, how does that even aspossible happen in today's world
, like with our security?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
How do you get down on the ramp?
I mean, they haven't reallysaid who this was, but if this
is a person that does not have abadge, how do they get down on
the ramp?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yeah, I mean I'll be very interested in this
investigation.
How did that person get to thatpoint?
I mean, back in the days youknow these type of stowaway
things and people you knowhiding in wheel wells, the plane
and stuff been happening for along time.
I mean I think I wasresearching this a little bit
they said like back to 1947 orsomething like that.
(10:56):
This is where it started.
But you know the planes that inthe beginning didn't go as high
as they do now.
But now we go, you know we'recruising at 40,000 feet.
I mean you're going to freezeto death real quick in those
things.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Well, we're going to talk about this person in
particular in just a minute.
But anybody out there that'slistening to this podcast and if
you had an idea of doingsomething stupid like this,
don't read the section that Seansaid about back in the 50s
where they were at 10,000 feet.
Read the part to where it sayswhat happens at 40,000 feet.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Yeah, Well, first of all, here's my thought on this
whole thing too.
It's like you know, we all arelike big travelers and
everything like that, but youknow a lay flat seat or a wheel,
well, I was sitting there.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
When I read this, the first thing that I thought is
what made you think that youknow?
Okay, what do I want to dotoday?
I'm going to go to the airport,I'm going to get down the ramp,
I'm going to get into theairplane where this wheel, well,
goes up, and I'm going to rideinside where the tire goes.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, that's not smart.
It's almost like somethingthat's from like a.
If the person did survive it'dbe like a dumb and dumber thing,
like they come out with theicicles and those frozen snot,
snot sickles and stuff.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Okay, we're going to get to that, and this is not.
Trust me when I'm telling youthis bad what happened to this
person, don't get me wrong.
But we're going to talk aboutthe stupidity of this first.
Right, so you get into thiswheel.
Well, the wheel.
Well, right now it's wintertimein Chicago.
Yeah, so say it's in its 30s,yeah, maybe it's a little cold.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
It's a little cold, a little windy.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
So what's the average takeoff speed?
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Depending on the aircraft, but about 125, 150,
some of that.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Okay, so 150 miles an hour and you are taking the
full breeze, dude.
Okay, do you think at thatpoint, maybe this wasn't a good
idea?
Speaker 1 (13:00):
It's not a point where you could just jump off.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I understand that, but you're not thinking this is
a good idea.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You could just jump off.
I understand that.
You know what I've changed mymind.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Okay, so now you're taking off and you're looking at
the ground and you're travelingnow 200 miles an hour and
you're seeing the treetops andthe wheel stars come, and then
that really the funny thinghappens is the temperature
starts to drop First of all.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
It's going to be dark in there, it's going to be.
You're going to first.
I don't know how you squeeze inthere with the wheels.
You know there's only so muchroom in those things.
You know they're made to putthe wheels in there.
Right, right, not a wheel.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
And somebody else and gear the whole gear.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, there's not like a jump seat inside that
area.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
So and you're climbing from.
You're coming from zero to10,000 feet pretty quick.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Super quick.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Okay, so from eight to 10,000 feet, even if you're
in good shape, oxygen startsgoing out.
Oh yeah, Right, I mean you'rebasically it's less oxygen in
your body.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
I mean once you get above 10,000 feet you have to
get on oxygen period.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
You have to.
This just got to be goingthrough your head as you're in
that wheel, well, and it's alldark in there, right?
I don't think these people arethat small, I know, but you
can't breathe.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
I mean, I mean you're giving them too much benefit of
doubt.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
I'm not, I'm really not I'm just kind of going over
this for anybody that's payingattention that if you thought
about doing this, this justgives you an idea what your
future is going to look like.
But anyway, so now you'reclimbing up out of 10 000 feet
10 to 16 you better hope youpass out they've got to be there
to be.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Hypoxia sits in.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Because you're starting to drop below zero.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, I mean your body temperature is going to
drop.
Hypoxia sits in.
You're going to die prettyquick.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Folks, do you know what the average temperature
outside of an aircraft at 40,000feet is Minus 60 degrees?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Unsurvivable.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Minus 60 degrees.
So now you're up there with nooxygen.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
There's no Canadian goose jacket out there that's
going to save you.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
There's nothing, nothing.
I don't care what you got.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Yeah, you don't need thermal long johns.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
Nothing, Whatever you grabbed a hold of your hand is
now frozen.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yeah, mittens, nothing, nothing's going to save
you there.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
So all the way out to Maui, you traveled probably
what?
Nine hours at minus 60?
.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
You're frozen to whatever it is.
It's no wonder you didn't fallout, because whatever you
grabbed a hold on your hand wasbasically frozen to it.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Yeah, that's why he fell out of the wheel.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
Well, when I read this, every time that I read
something like this, it justblows my mind that someone would
think about getting inside of awheel of an aircraft and taking
off like that.
It's just crazy.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Yeah, it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
So if you're out there and if you thought that
this was something that youwould think about doing in the
near future, this guy didn'tmake it.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah, this is not a good non-rubbing story.
That is horrible.
Yeah, I mean, there's there'scheap ways to fly, but this is
not the cheapest.
This is not the smart, cheapway they have discount carriers
for their fun.
They don't need that do not goto vago or do something.
Do something with it, but don'ttry wheel.
(16:01):
Well, yeah, that won't work.
That's not a good job.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
But hey, we did.
I'm only going to touch on thisfor a minute because I don't
like talking about this thatmuch, especially in our industry
.
But they did lose an aircraftthis week and they lost some
crew members and they lost somefamily members on an aircraft
and we just wanted to sayprayers to those crew members
that their lives are lost andprayers to the people that had
(16:25):
lost their lives in thatterrible crash.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Yeah, that disaster is a sobering moment in our
industry, but we just want towish everybody prayers and
thoughts going out to all thosepeople that have survived as
well and the people that werethe victim of the incident.
But anyways, let's twist thisto Christmas.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Hey, there was a Christmas story I read.
It happened in 2019.
Thought it was so funny.
Do you remember Home Alone?
Yeah, what was the catchphrase?
Kevin Kevin, kevin.
What was the catchphrase KevinKevin, kevin?
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Yeah, when she realized that she you know where
in the heck's Kevin.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
So there was this plane.
They were taking off and thepilots radioed back to
operations and they needed toturn the plane around.
You know why?
Why, is that the woman on board, the Arabic woman she had left
her infant in the terminal Comeon.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
First of all, you said infant, and how does that
happen?
I forgot I had a baby.
I forgot the thing was hangingon for me for nine months and
I'm just going to leave it inthe airport now.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Got my bag, got my suitcase.
I was so distracted.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
What is?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
it that I'm missing?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah, I had my noise canceling headphones and I got
my jacket.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
You closed your eyes to take a little nap.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I had my neck pillow.
Oh there's a baby.
Oh baby, Damn, gotta go get him.
Wait, wait, we're getting readyto take off.
Nope, Ding, Ding, ding ding.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
Now they had to repeat this twice to the
operations because these guyscouldn't believe she left a baby
in the terminal.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
I'm sure they had to repeat it many a time, could you
?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
imagine the PAs going in the terminal.
Anybody lose a baby.
Right, there's a baby over herein a stroller.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah, that's crazy man.
Well, first of all, the babymust have been totally chill,
like asleep or whatever, beforeit didn't go unnoticed.
Nobody in the terminal evennoticed the baby sitting there.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Well, I mean, who are they going to call?
They don't know where thisperson is.
Did anybody leave a baby out inthe terminal?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah, not one good Samaritan.
Well, if it had one, maybe theythought it was baby Jesus.
They just left him there.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
I just thought that was so funny.
I mean that Kevin story was anAmerican story but an Arabic
airline with that.
I thought that was kind offunny.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, that is funny On a Christmas.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
First of all, it's unbelievable that it could even
happen, yeah, but you knowsomething In our business
there's so many things thatcrazy happen every single day,
and I'm going to tell you one.
So I've been doing the FortLauderdale flights, yeah, now
you know a lot goes on in thoseflights, dude those Fort
Lauderdale flights are just likeI don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I'm not trying to slam Fort Lauderdale or anything
, but we got a mixed bag of nutson the things I mean there's
just so many stories.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
You never know what you're going to get.
You never know what's going tohappen on those flights, because
you got the cruise lines goingdown there.
You got Miami, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Lauderdale, lauderdale, east coast of
Florida.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
You've got such a vast variety of people yeah
you've got a freaking Americannut mix.
Okay, I'm going to give you alittle scene here and give you
an idea of what's going tohappen.
So this girl is up on her kneesand I keep telling her she's
got to sit down.
She goes, I can't.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I know what's happening here.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
All right.
Any of the flight attendantsthat fly back and forth from
Fort Lauderdale to Miami knowthere's a place in between.
There they do Brazilian buttlifts, and all I can think about
is all I want for Christmas ismy two butt cheeks.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
All I want for Christmas is my two butt cheeks.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
So this girl, she could not sit down.
I was thinking to myself you'regoing to spend the next two
weeks at least right, notsitting your ass down.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Dude, first of all, I mean just all the reasons
behind this is like I just don'tget it.
I mean I'm not trying to bodyshame anybody, because you know
I'm one to love a butt, but Imean don't go buy it.
You know like you're good withwhat you got, but you know I
(20:43):
started reading a little bitabout this Real quick.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
we're just going to touch on it.
Brazilian butt lift theyharvest fat from the body.
So if you ain't got fat, theycan't harvest it from there.
But anyway, that's how they dothe Brazilian butt lift.
They have the silicone implantsand all I can think about is
that you have two implants putin your ass.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
Now could you imagine , how bad that would hurt?
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I mean, Are they like memory foam?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Like they mold you, I don't care, man Think about
this, this we sat on a wall.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Are there different models, like different sizes you
can get for, like the, which,which, what?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
if it shifted hard soft kind of shifted left or
shifted right.
I mean, your ass would looklike a mess.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I'm sure there's a bad butt job, just like they're
bad, oh my god I was just when Iseen that.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
I started looking at this and I was like what, what
happened if?
Speaker 1 (21:32):
one of them shifted.
Yeah Well, we've seen whathappens on the other side.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
It would not when it shifts.
It would not be good.
It would not be good.
But anyway, she was on thereand all I could think about was
this is Christmas, two weeks andyou ain't gonna be able to sit
down.
Oh man, that's Fort Lauderdale.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
That's Fort Lauderdale.
That's Fort Lauderdale, man,you get that traffic a lot.
I mean, I've been on planeswhere it was like the whole
entire back row was nothing butlike six women not sitting on
their legs because they can'ttotally sit down.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Sit down, yeah, there's butt lifts.
But another thing happened.
We had a computer glitch.
Fortunately, we cannot gothrough a holiday season without
one airline getting a computerglitch man you know, in this day
and age it's hard for me toeven fathom.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Why hasn't the airlines yet figured out?
You know our analog system.
We used to have the littleswipe cards and paper tickets
and all that stuff.
Why haven't they just put asystem like that in place, like
when the computers go down we goback to analog, but nobody
knows how to do it anymore.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Yeah, I couldn't even tell you this, sean.
I think it's because we're sobig.
Now, I don't think that that'dbe possible.
We're so large, I know, but aplane's a plane.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I mean, we used to do this all the time Like
computers went down.
Okay, all right, we're going topaper.
They'd print out the whole listof the manifest, whatever, and
check people off and on.
You know like there's got to bea way around this.
You know somebody want to getrich out there.
Figure out a system to getaround computer glitches.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Here's the thing for passengers Look, it ain't your
crew's fault, so don't come onthere and start yelling at
somebody because the damncomputer failed.
Our ass is sitting right therewaiting with you guys, and our
day got all jacked up too.
So you know it's the holidayseason.
We're still in a good mood.
Please don't come on the planewith a bad mood.
We don't want to deal with that.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, yeah, especially when it's not our
fault but it's our company'sfault.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Exactly.
Whatever company it is, it'stheir fault.
But hey, listen, let's talkabout what we did.
Let's talk about what we did.
So we're transitioning into thenew year, yeah, so everybody
talks about, like, what they didthis year and what they're
going to do next year, right,yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
What did we do?
There's a lot to reflect upon,and the things that we do and
didn't do in this last year.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
A couple things.
Give me a couple things thatyou did in this past year.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
A couple things I did in this last year.
Well, I wrote a few books, didmy first art show.
That was a cool one, becauseafter I graduated I just last
year graduated from college witha BA in fine arts and
photography, anyways and I mademy first photo book.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
He does have a really cool book on Barnes.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and working on a couple more.
But then I wrote a book thisyear Pickleball.
Everybody knows about myPickleball book, pickleball for
everyone.
Yeah, and then we have yeah,and then you know, I got
inspired with doing all thesebooks.
I made two coloring booksbecause my little nieces were
(24:43):
like you know, they're enamoredby all this.
You know they're that age.
So I was like I'm going to makea coloring book for them too,
because I was just in this modeand right now I got a lot of
time on my hands you ain't gotno damn time.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
You're always doing something just like this.
This number one thing that meand you did is we we actually
started this podcast yeah, thisis a long, this is a um.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
How long did we talk about this?
I mean, how do you feel likeyear two?
Speaker 2 (25:12):
It's been at least a couple of years.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Yeah, I mean it was.
It was a long time in themaking, like, and eventually it
was like okay, let's shit or getoff the pot.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But it's kind of cool Cause you learn a lot.
I mean when you from when we'velearned how to one make this
whole thing flow right, andSean's not funny and yeah and
(25:41):
Gary's still that asshole.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Everybody out there understands what I'm talking
about, but anyways, no, it'slike this whole cool learning
process.
So we're like learning newstuff and you know we're trying
to grow this whole thing biggerand better and all this stuff,
and so we're going to move inthis next year onto a next level
too.
That's what I think our futureplans are.
We're not putting any likedates on this, but you know we
(26:04):
would like to move into a videoand maybe into a live situation,
but live live all the way live,oh man.
I don't even know if anybodywants to see that, but who knows
?
You never know we can do.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
We started this far.
We should go a little bitfarther, but yeah, we did start
the podcast.
It definitely was out of ourelement a little bit, but we are
having a good time with it.
Now let's look at this Failureswhat was a big failure of yours
?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Failures- yeah, you have a failure.
No, I'm going to let you gofirst.
What's yours?
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Okay, so I was working on an engine and you
know, you're sitting there andyou tighten the bolt down and
I'm tightening it down,tightening it down, and then I'm
just like, okay, I better justget a little bit tighter because
I don't want it to leak.
And then snap, snap the damnthing right off.
That's the worst.
I looked at that damn thing.
I'm like you dumbass.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, you dumbass In an automotive situation when you
snap off a bolt.
I mean you got to tap thatthing out.
It's got to be bored out.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
It's just a pain in the ass.
I mean, you just created two tothree hours of a mess for you,
more work, and all you have todo is reach in there and grab a
torque wrench dumbass.
That's what my dumbass did, andand you know something I can't
even tell you how stupid I wasand it, right next to the other
part, is when you take a littlebolt out and you're working over
an engine, then your dumbassdrops it down into the engine
(27:25):
and it drops down into thislittle bitty hole that you can
see it, but you can.
Can't get the damn thing.
Oh, man.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
That is where when you drop things, this is like
the like and they fall intothose little cracks and stuff is
crazy.
Here's a here's a here's a dropstory Like this is totally off
of what we're talking about.
But I was on vacation with abuddy and we were out snorkeling
and he my buddy doesn't likereally greater swimmer and
(27:58):
everything, so he's always kindof like keeping close to me and
everything and his wedding ringcame off his finger and fell
down and you could see it likefalling in the water and it goes
down right between the crack inthe coral.
You could see it down there,but it was way down there.
It's the same thing with thatbolt.
You know like it's the samething with that bolt.
You know like it's the samething that happened, like it
couldn't just land in the sandor land and open.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Any woman out there that's listening to this right
now.
You have to know a situationwhere your husband or your
boyfriend did the same dumbassthing that I did Is that you did
something stupid.
They start yelling and all youwant to do is just close the
door and go back inside.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
Yeah, like I'm done with this.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Oh man, I tell you that was probably one of the
biggest failures this year,because I did that and then,
back-to-back, I dropped thatstupid bolt through the engine
and had to look at that dumbthing.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Like failure, compound on failure, like you
get smacked in the right cheekand you get smacked in the left
Like, well, here's my, my, myfailure this is my biggest
failure of this year is that wefreaking thought.
You know, we're in a greatfinancial situation.
My wife and I were coming up onlike we, we got to, we're
(29:05):
planning retirement, all thatgood stuff.
And then we got to thinking andwe started we went on one of
our timeshare.
Uh, we own timeshares withMarriott and stuff.
And you're a timeshare guy.
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Yeah, we, we, we, we own thesetimeshares and all this stuff.
And so we, uh, we went out andbought another, fucking more
timeshare.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Oh my God, you're that guy that the customs guys
get.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Hey, Mr American guy, you come over here.
You come over here.
We got a deal for you.
I know your face.
You sucker, sucker, sucker,sucker, Come here.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Every time I walk through and they're yelling at
guys that come over, I'mthinking who are those guys?
So I'm sitting across from one.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
Yeah, yeah, no, this one was.
We bought it.
But the reason we bought it itwasn't quite that situation, it
was because of the Florida messthat happened down there.
This is a little bit seriousNow.
If you recall, remember thatbuilding that fell down in
Florida, which one?
There was an apartment buildingin Florida that fell down.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
They changed all the laws because of that.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
Yeah, yeah, guess who got caught in those laws.
Time shares Was that sharestime, share people.
So if you own a condo or a timeshare in florida, your rates
are going to go skyrocketing.
Your yearly rates is justexploding and right now there's
no ceiling on it, like florida'sright now just keeps pushing
and every year the rates justkeep going up and up and up.
(30:28):
So like what I was paying for atime share for yearly, like if
I was paying $300 for the year,$600 for the year, whatever it
was, I mean now I was payinglike $2,000 a year.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Well, they rolled all the costs that was the new laws
down in Florida.
They rolled all the costs tothe owners of all those condos
and everything, because now theyhave to be inspected Exactly
and they have to be inspectedExactly, and they have to be
inspected and whatever needs toget fixed, it rolled into the
cost.
So now it's going to roll intoyou.
Yeah, so I had some property,you American guy that got the
condo.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
So I had two pieces of property in Florida that I
owned that were deeded.
That was part of that freakingstupid law that I didn't have no
idea.
And we were looking at ouryearly bill and we're like, why
is our rates going up so much?
And anyways, long story short,we got sucked into buying more
condo crap just to get out ofthat situation.
So now I'm not in that.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
So if you're one of those condo guys, just email me
later.
I'll send you a picture of himwhen he comes to customs.
Mr Condo Guy.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah man, those things.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
All right brother, here's a quick question for you
Thinner or fatter?
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Dude, I think I've maintained this year, Did you?
Yeah, just like it.
Good, I don't think I'm like Ididn't put on a lot of weight
this year and I didn't gain anyweight.
I definitely didn't getskinnier.
Speaker 2 (31:48):
Let's be fair, though , you ain't exactly moving
around very much.
No, I'm not moving like I'm notlike you're sprinting.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not.
There's not high exercise rateright happening right now.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
But uh, if you started sweating you'd have a
fever yeah, well, yeah, I don'tthink anything.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
What about you?
Speaker 2 (32:09):
no, no, I'm right about where I normally am.
I'm like between 208, 213,.
Haven't really fluctuated much,so it's been a good year as far
as that.
I try to stay within thatweight frame.
I think this year, though, I'dbe better, probably like 199,
100, 200.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
So your ideal weight is 199?
.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
For me.
I think I would feel a lotbetter.
I just think you're more fitthat way.
So how tall are you?
About 6'1" 6'1".
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So 6'1", 199.
Yeah, man, that'd be like a.
Yeah, Everybody would be aperfect person in that BMI.

for the year.

(40:52):
than, um, uh, operationalfailure.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
That's Sean.

allowed to push the recordbutton anymore.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Listen, listen.
Uh, there is operatormalfunctions every now and then.
You won't know it on the showbecause we cut all that stuff
out.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
We were 40 minutes into the show and you didn't
push the record button.
Speaker 1 (41:18):
And it's not his responsibility to see that it
wasn't recording too.
He's half the show, people,anyways.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
All right guys.
So going into the new year andwe're going a little bit longer
today, but that's okay.
But going into the new year,let's talk about what do people
in general?
They talk about their NewYear's resolutions, right?
Speaker 1 (41:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
I love this.
I was looking this up and thenumber one thing, sean, for a
New Year's resolution is afterChristmas and starting the the
new year.
Guess what?
The number one thing isfinancially financially.
Oh, I was, I was getting readyto exercise, but no, we're gonna
start financial financials yeahit's fine, so um paying debt
(42:00):
bud budget budget, because youjust spent load of shitload of
money on christmas, oh hell yeah, right, yeah, you're trying to
figure out way, how?
Speaker 1 (42:09):
how am I going to get through this whole thing?
I was loving looking at this.
A ton of debt.
This last Spent all my money onit.
All the people I love in mylife.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
But when I was looking at this, I was loving
this, because the next one afterthat is pay debt.
Speaker 1 (42:25):
Pay debt.
Yep, this is a vicious cyclethat we're talking about.
The holiday season's come upand we're spending all this
money and we're creating allthese freaking.
We think we have a budget tospend money and then we go over
the budget and we get into debt.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
No, you just unwrapped all them damn
electronic gifts and all thatshit and you're sitting over
there and you're like, oh yeah,I love that.
Thank you very much, I lovethat.
Now you're going to be like ohokay, you got to pay the debt.
Yeah, now I got to pay for it,okay.
So the next thing that you'regoing to do is that you're going
to cut down spending.
You know why you're cutting itdown?
Because you don't spend allyour damn money.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
You don't have a choice.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Your money's gone, you're going to cut your
spending down.
I love that one, and then youknow what you're going to do
after that financially.
Your number four thing we'reonly doing the four on each one.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
I would not know what that is.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
You're going to save, sean, save what you ain't got
no damn money left to savebecause you've got to pay your
damn debt down.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
You've got to cut a budget.
You ain't got no savings thereain't no savings to be had.
Speaker 2 (43:32):
Okay, so now you're going through your financials,
and then the next thing thatyou're going to do is that
you're going to be concernedabout your health.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yeah, because you just had a heart attack.
You saw all the bills that justcame through.
They just came, man the mailmanjust delivered all these bills
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
So the first thing you think of you.
Better get that health caremembership right, join that gym.
Right, go to the no judgmentzone.
You're over there with thepurple people, but anyway, so
you get into the health club.
So on the 1st through, like the10th, health clubs are loaded
right.
Yeah, I mean, everybody's in ahealth club.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Everybody's in there trying to do their New Year's
resolution Get their bloodpressure down.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
I'm going to get back healthy.
Speaker 1 (44:12):
I'm going to get back on the horse.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Exactly, I'm cutting the budget, I'm cutting the
calories.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
I'm focusing.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
I cut down on spending because now I'm only
paying $10 a month off my gymmembership Right.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
So the first month is probably a buck.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
I love this.
Next one, though, is that theydrink more water.
You know why they drink morewater?
Because they've got no damnalcohol left.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
Yeah, the alcohol's been drank already during the
holiday.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
You have to drink it all the way through the holidays
.
Okay, and then this is evengood too.
You're going to eat at homemore.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah, because you have nothing but leftovers,
you've got a bunch of damnleftovers, so that's all you're
going to eat.
Speaker 2 (44:49):
Your spouse is like no, we're eating leftovers.
Speaker 1 (44:51):
Yeah, because you can't win, you don't have any
budget for it.
We got a 15-pound ham.
Speaker 2 (44:56):
We're getting honey-baked ham.
We're having ham sandwiches forthe next week, and the next
week after that we're having hamand beans Exactly.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (45:06):
Oh my God.
Then what we're going to do isthat we're going to try a new
sport.
What sport would that be?
Pick?
Speaker 1 (45:11):
a ball man.
Pick a ball, pick a ball, it'scheap, cheap A paddle and a
freaking plastic ball.
Speaker 2 (45:15):
Get your ass out there, because you ain't got no
damn money, because you'repaying debt, cutting down the
spending and you're not savinganything.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (45:23):
All right, and then we're going to move.
Of this one, oh yeah, now wegot to get into the mental
health Exactly Because we got tospend.
What More quality time?
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Yeah Right, quality time, yeah, quality time.
That's a great excuse, becausewe don't have any more damn
money.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
Can't go out to the restaurant, can't go to the
movies, can't afford it, can'tdo anything because we ain't got
no damn money.
So chalk it up to quality time.
Just mark that off.
Quality time we can sit andtalk to each other.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
Yeah, I'm spending more time and it's because I
want to.
Speaker 2 (45:59):
All right, this is a good one too.
Hey, you get to meet new people.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
No, I'm good with that.
No, no, no, I'm going to meetnobody.
That's all right.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
All right, communicate Sean, communicate Do
you know who you're going tocommunicate with with your
spouse.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
I can just imagine.
Speaker 2 (46:17):
Who spent the damn money?
Speaker 1 (46:20):
Who spent all that damn money?
Speaker 2 (46:21):
Who got all the damn bills?
Speaker 1 (46:22):
man and how are we going to pay for this?
Speaker 2 (46:24):
Now, who has to budget?
Who?
Because I remember what I gotand I see what you got.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
Yeah, there's going to be a lot of communication
happening, a back and forth,give and take type of thing.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
And here's another one.
You get to catch up with oldfriends.
You know why you're catching up.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
Yeah, because you ain't got no damn money, it's
cheap.
Hey Sean, what are you doing?
Speaker 2 (46:44):
Get together and talk because we ain't got no damn
money after this holiday season.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Right, this is a vicious holiday cycle.
Speaker 2 (46:53):
Okay, so now we're through this whole thing and we
paid off the debt, we've doneall this, and then what are we
going to do?
We want to go travel.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
Yeah, we got to get away.
We got to get away and we gotto spend more money than we
don't have.
Yeah, we got to de-stress,spend more money.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Because we didn't have any money to spend.
We had debt, we had budgetcutting down, spending saving,
we exercised, drank water and welearned pickleball.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
There you go.
And then by the time we get allout of this, which is three
quarters away into the year,we're gearing up for the next
year of holiday seasons that aregetting ready to come right,
Because we've got to startmaking those budgets.
And how are we going to havethis happen?
Speaker 2 (47:35):
Okay, before we get to the destination, what did you
get for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (47:39):
