, we usually don't fly widebodies no so it gets a little
better.
What's that?
Well, when you know, whenyou're the door creator, you're
standing there and the rightside of the plane you got like
(03:26):
ABCD and then goes E, f, j, k, l, n, o, p, o, all the way to the
other freaking side and thenyou turn around.
First class is like a, b, j, l.

So she comes on.
She says E.
I'm like I have no flippingidea.
And she looked at me and thenFlight Attendant goes around the
corner.
I started busting up laughing.
I looked at her.
I was like I don't know how thehell the E seat was on this one
.
I didn't even know there was anE seat.
I'm like why did they do?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
that that was just stupid.
Yeah, hey man.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Well, I wasn't done All right, so I went to Newark
minimum wave over, had to get up5 am.

5 am, show 5 a.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Back to the West Coast.
Oh yeah, and I had some newpeople.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Great On a white body Nightmare.
Not good.
Well, they're good.
No, the other side was goodbecause they weren't new.
My side was new.
Oh yeah, so you got on thesucker side.
You know, everybody takes thetime and it takes a little bit
of time you know I made twoservices through the whole
transcom.
It was tough, man, it was rough.
(05:50):
It was rough Cause, you know me, I'm ready to get going.
So as soon as I get up in theair man, I'm like, let's get
this, let's get this done.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
There's like a uh.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You had Speedy Gonzalez over on the left of me
and I had Slowpoke Rodriguez.
You know what I mean?
I mean it was like completelypolar opposite of who I had, and
it's fine, she was new,whatever.
I mean, I just make fun of itbecause it's a new person.
You know she was just having atough time with it, but you know
(06:22):
how you get locked in behindthem.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, man, I mean, one of the things about like the
new employees, whatever whenyou're working with them, is
that they just they don't havethat sense of urgency where
we're just like when I just getit done, we can get it done and
be friendly.
You can get it done Like youknow and everybody be happy
about it, Right, you know.
(06:45):
But or you get the people thatare like you know just they
they're they're doing like thatout of by the book for the what
they taught you in training, youknow, hi, would you like a
choice?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I know I'm like oh man guys, we're gonna be here
all damn day oh, you know what?
The choices are here.
Let me tell you this even getsbetter, though, because you know
when you're going to the westcoast and everybody knows this,
right it is you have to havecoffee you have to have brewed
tea, you have to have, uh, hotwater, I mean you have to have
(07:15):
all this shit.
And then you get to the rose andhis damn headphones.
Right, oh my god, thoseheadphones absolutely flip and
kill me.
Then they take them off andthen it's it.
It's like three drinks.
They're like you're, you'renever coming back, sean.
Three drinks, but anyway, yeahit, that was my catch up trans
cons back and forth West coast,uh, 26 hours.
(07:36):
Uh, anybody knows that you'reearning your money If you're
doing that whole trip, ifsomething messes up, I mean
you're golden dude, right, youain't doing it.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Dude, stick needles in my eye.
That was me.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'd be happier I had to do the whole damn thing.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It was not good man, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What about you?
What's been going on?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
You know I've still got school going on right now,
so I'm doing a really cool class.
I got this physical computingclass going on and and, uh, it's
taken me back, you know, likeback to my old, uh, air force
days when I was like messingwith all those mechanics and
electronics and stuff and got tocan repair stuff and doing all
this shit.
You know, it was just I likethat type of things.
You know, like just fixingthing.
(08:16):
There's like this, thesatisfaction of like when you
get it fixed.
You know, I, I did that type ofthing Working with your hands,
yeah, just working with yourhands and it got me into that
whole thing.
You know that feeling, and so Igot this idea.
I'm like you know what?
I was listening to you oh no.
You actually listened to me.
Yeah, I actually listened to Gand he was doing some cleanup in
(08:38):
his house, so I was like youknow.
So I decided to dive into mynetworking in my house and that
was a total crazy turned into,turned into, turned to, okay,
but it started off kind of shitshow, ish and he actually showed
me.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
This is is actually incredible, man.
If you've seen this this little, it's like an electronic bay
back there Now.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean I made aprofessional-looking network
system in my house, put a racksystem in there and all that
stuff for anybody that's anetwork geek out there that
knows what I'm talking about.
But I just kind of like wascleaning up everything because
when I built my house I had allthis technology built into the
house, so I had like cat five.
I had coax cables, all thephone stuff.
(09:25):
You know everything that wasnormal at the time.
I built it in 2000.
Well, in 2000,.
I mean we're sitting here 25years later.
I mean right now, coax cablewhich is for those people that
don't know what coax cable is isthe cable that we used to use
to plug in our tv into the, thetv box, you know, to get cable
in our house, yeah that's whatwe would refer to as cable.
(09:48):
Well, the coax cable, we don'teven use it anymore nobody yeah,
I mean, everybody's streamingnow, yep.
So, um, all I'm doing is, youknow, I was like I need to just
clean all this stuff up becausethat was like rat nest in my
basement.
So, yeah, I was doing that.
That's one of the things I did.
And, uh, while I was doing that, this would be very interesting
.
It's been cold as hell here.
(10:08):
Right outside the back of myhouse is this big old lake and I
look out the window.
The other day and these twokids had went out on the lake
and cleared off a huge sectionof the lake and they're out
there playing hockey.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Really Right here in my backyard.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Was it that cold?
I mean, it was that cold Really, right here.
I skated right in my backyardhere.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Good thing you could see them, in case their ass fell
through.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Dude, that day it was like four degrees, oh wow.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
It was so cold.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I mean, you only need like three inches of ice, like
two inches of ice, somethinglike that.
It's something ridiculous.
But yeah, they were out thereskating and everything and
cleared off.
They had shovels and they werelike just going down the ice,
clearing off the ice and skatingaround.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I bet that was cool though, because you don't see
kids out very much.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So when you see them out there, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It was really refreshing to like see kids out
doing something, especiallygetting their ass out there in
four degrees.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Shoveling anything.
You shitting me.
They wouldn't shovel anything.
You kidding me.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
After they got done and as they were walking back
towards the house and stuff, Iopened my window and kind of
yelled through and I was like,hey, you guys are having fun,
look good, it's great You're outthere skating and stuff.
And they're like was it okay?
I'm like I don't give a,somebody needs to use it.
I'm just sitting there thinkingmost kids you look at you be
(11:26):
like what is this for?
Right, right, but it was, itwas really cool.
I was just it was something tohappen.
That was very unusual.
I've been here for 25 years inmy house right now and never,
ever have I seen somebody iceskate on the lake well, your ass
ain't gonna be out there.
Your damn gimp knee there's noway my gimp ass is gonna be out
there ice skating, but it wasfun to watch do you know?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
the one thing I really want to talk about it's's
been in the news a lot and Iknow that we don't get real
political here, but this is kindof like a right and a wrong and
a law thing is the massdeportation.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, man, that stuff's been going on everywhere
.
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The only reason I want to talk about it is that
there's a lot of people saying,hey, you know, they're not
criminals.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Not well, no, hell, no, you know, they're not
criminals.
Not well, no Hell, no, okay,they're criminals.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And I just want to say this because you know we
travel through US Customs allthe time.
Yeah, a lot we do.
I mean you know we do and whenwe go through we're required we
have to have our passports.
Now, they do a facialrecognition.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, that's a really nice system though.
Yeah, it's great A new facialrecognition system.
I mean you just kind of likewalk through and look at the
camera.
They take a quick snapshot.
They're like green light,you're good.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, because it's facial recognition.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
So much quicker.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, and that's what I'm saying.
If we, as a crew member, wentthrough US Customs and we just
ran right past the US Customsagent, headed for the doors,
went to the doors, we would havebeen tackled right, Right,
taken down, we would have beenhandcuffed to a bench somewhere,
(12:55):
yeah, okay, and there wouldhave been federal charges
against us for trying to evadecustoms in the United States,
correct, am?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I right.
Not to mention, you just madeeverybody's day really bad
because they just locked downeverything and everything went
to hell.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Completely bad.
And you are a United Statescitizen that holds a passport
and you just became a federalcriminal in their eyes, right,
Right.
So I just want to talk aboutthese people that have been
saying that these people are notcriminals when you just cross
across a river and think thatyou can come into the United
(13:28):
States and do everything that iscompletely illegal for
immigration and not beconsidered a federal criminal.
That doesn't make sense, Sean.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, first of all, a criminal once you break a law,
you're a criminal.
It doesn't matter what period.
I mean, that's the law, that'sour law.
So they're coming with,whatever country they're coming
from, whatever their laws is, wedon't give a shit, we only care
about what our law is Right,right.
So as soon as they break thatlaw, they're a criminal.
Yeah, I mean, I totally, 100%agree with you.
(14:00):
I mean, but any of those peopleout there that say that they're
not criminals and you knowthey're criminals If they've
broken the law, they've brokenthe law period, right, and they
don't need to be in our country.
Get your, you know, come toUnited States, come to America
(14:22):
and get your citizenship orwhatever you're trying to do,
come here as a student.
There's all different types ofreasons.
If you're not doing it, if youhaven't done it the right way,
you're a criminal.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And guess what, sean?
These people are the peoplethat were on our planes in 9-11.
And I don't want them back onour planes again.
And I'm not saying about.
Of course there's a lot ofpeople that you know just want
to come to our country and maketheir lives better.
I get that, don't get me wrong.
I really do, but you have to doit the right way.
We have laws.
(14:52):
You have to abide by those laws, just like me and you.
We have to abide by them, andthat's the only thing I mean.
That was the only thing thatreally got me this week is when
I listened to all this and therewas people saying that they're
not criminals, and I'm like theyare criminals yeah, they're
criminals and they need to goback to their country.
They need to apply to come tothe United States and if you can
(15:14):
come in, welcome in, come in,but do it the right way, don't
do it the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I agree, man, I mean just, I mean all these deportees
right now and all the like, uh,what Trump's doing with the
whole, uh, you know targetingthe most, uh, you know, violent
of the criminals and all thatstuff.
Um, I mean thank God somebodyis doing it now.
I mean because there are somany people that have been
affected by this.
I mean, I know flightattendants have been affected by
(15:41):
this.
Like, people have been attackedand stuff on their layovers and
stuff, and it was, you know,illegal aliens coming into the
country, right, but yeah, I meanthat whole thing with them
sending them back to Colombiaand the Colombian president like
not saying hey, hey, we're nottaking them.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Can you imagine that didn't last long.
Yeah that didn't last long,that did not go well, right A
few conversations and he'svolunteering his own jet, his
own jet to bring him back?
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Do you want me to send my jet?
I'll send my jet.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
But that right there, that shows some authority and
power.
That's where the US should be.
It should be A power leveragestate.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And we shouldn't even be talking about this, but
anyway, I just want to touch onit, because the only thing that
really bothered me I know we'regoing to go through this, but
the only thing that reallybothered me is anyone that
doesn't think that they arecriminals, because if you would
try to bypass customs, trust me,you're a U S citizen, you're a
criminal in their eyes, you're afederal criminal at this point.
(16:44):
So anyone that does the samething in our country is
considered a criminal.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, and I like what they're doing right now with
the whole Gitmo thing too.
I mean the worst of the worstfor putting them in.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Gitmo, I mean.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Hey, that is a Guantanamo Bay Lockdown, is what
is it?
They said like 300,000 or 3,000or something like that.
New beds or something like thatthey were looking for.
There was a lot of them,whatever it was, whatever the
number is.
But I'm happy that you knowthat I have a brother that's.
He actually works ice, he's anice agent and, uh, he's in, uh,
(17:18):
denver, and so I've been lookingfor him on the news.
I I texted him the other day.
I'm like where, when is he inyour face?
He's like we tried to avoidthat and I'm like, dude, come on
, this is your opportunity,you're in the sky.
But he, but he's like I'm just,I was just wishing him well and
, you know, making sure that hewas being safe and all that
stuff.
But he's like like, yeah, we'rebusy.
(17:39):
He's like we're just busy.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
They're going to be busy for a long time.
But, like I said, whether it'sthem or anyone else, if you
break the law you go to jail.
I don't care if you're in theUnited States.
If you're a citizen of theUnited States, break the law, go
to jail.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, one of the things that he's super happy
about it.
Like he left, he was borderpatrol and so he was border
patrol in Arizona and he was.
He was the guy running aroundin the bushes and chasing these
guys.
I mean, my brother's built,he's fit.
I mean he was like he justturned, he got into his forties
and he's like I'm getting tooold for this shit to be running
around in the bushes.
(18:14):
She's shaking up.
Chasing these people in thebushes, you know, was like I
gotta get out of here and go goto somewhere a little bit easier
.
And so he went to uh, ice anduh.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Now he's chasing him again in the bushes and
everywhere else.
I was in there going wait aminute.
He just jumped right back inthe fire, right back in a bigger
fire than that.
It's like a forest fire right.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
But here's the thing before he was like catching them
and releasing them, and nowhe's keeping them and deporting
them.
So that's good.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Absolutely perfect.
All right man.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Anyways, we want to talk about this week, man, you
know, like we were talking aboutour last episode, we were
talking about some fun things,or you know some historical
stuff that's happened as far asthis week in history and one of
(19:04):
the things that was recordedthis week uh, in history, in
1887, the largest snowflake wasdiscovered.
You know how big it was.
No go ahead.
First of all, I'm like in mymind I'm thinking how do they
measure a snowflake?
You know, like in my mind.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I'm sitting there thinking are we like chevy
chase's vacation here, thebiggest house of mud, or what go
ahead?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
exactly the biggest um ball of twine, but they're.
They said this thing is was 15inches wide and eight inches
thick.
Dude, that's like.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
That's like a cannonball how would you
discover that?
You look at on the ground Imean I mean at the.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I was reading this story and they're saying you
know um, the next biggestsnowflake that they found was
like 0.39 inches.
Did they keep that?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
though did they keep that?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
snowflake, there's a little bit of a skeptical.
Uh, you know, believe belief inthis record, but it was in 1887
recorded, so you know it knowit's in somebody's freezer.
Nobody had an iPhone to recordthe flake, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
There's some guy got the damn thing in his freezer
right now, right.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Exactly, probably he's got it.
This is my grandpa's grandpa'sbiggest snowflake moment, all

21st 1961, a chimp named Ham.
I don't know who even thoughtof him.
Who's going to name a chimp Ham?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Could you imagine if the chimp actually knew it?
I mean he said hey, what's yourname, ham?
What the?
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, poor Ham.
Anyways, this primate was thefirst primate in space.
He was on the Mercury Redstone2 mission and he actually
survived.
You know a lot of those earlymissions and stuff.
They'd send dogs up and allkinds of stuff and they didn't
always survive, but thischimpanzee did and he actually
(22:18):
um, actually uh, resided in, uhin in the DC DC zoo and um so he
was the first ham in space.
He was the first ham in space,baby, the space ham who now
named him.
Who does this?
Who does this?
Here's another story.
Let me tell another story totell you how far we've come in
(22:43):
in uh, in politics and uh ourrights and stuff.
In 2013, which is not too longago, the french government just
made it legal for parisian womento wear pants all right, I got
a question.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
What's that?
What were they wearing before?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
they wear them before .
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I think, gauchos culottes, you have no idea
dresses if you're like oh yeah,you're, you can wear pants now
yeah, I don't know, but it was.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It was illegal to wear them until 2013.
Then that was just likeyesterday I like that one go
ahead.
Those french are crazy anyways.
Yeah, 1803, ohio became the17th state in the United States,
and we're going to shift into alittle bit more sober stuff
(23:29):
here.
Well, in 1986, and I don't knowabout you, but I know myself
and I sure many americans cantell you where they were at
during this uh event but thespace shuttle challenger
exploded and um 73 seconds aftertakeoff I remember seeing it.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I remember it um watching it on tv.
I can't tell you exactly whereI was at.
I know that I was in front of aTV watching it.
Don't know exactly where I was.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Well, I was in front of a TV but I was off at Air
Force Base in 1986, and I wasdoing a weapons training class
and I was sitting there in thisweapons training class and the
TV.
Remember how, like in schoolrooms, training class and the tv
, um, remember how, like inschool rooms, and stuff the tube
tvs, they put them on a cart.
(24:25):
Yeah, you know, because theywere so heavy wheeling around
the cart and stuff, plug them in.
Well, there's big, this tv is inthere and they wheeled it into
the garden.
They're like, turn, turn on thetv, turn on, turn on the tv.
And they turn on the tv andboom, you see the TV and boom,
you see the shuttle explode itwas, like everybody in the room,
(24:47):
drop jaw dropping moment.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Like I said, I remember watching it.
I can't tell you exactly whereI was at.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, I mean it was, I mean for those people that
were alive during that time.
It was a very sobering momentin the space age and in the
united states and stuff.
But another sobering moment,too, that just happened not too
long ago, 2020.
You know, this week, uh was theuh anniversary of kobe bryant's
(25:11):
helicopter crash that wascompletely gut-wrenching.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, one of the best athletes, um one of the best
basketball players to ever playthe game, uh, he was.
He was amazing as a person,amazing athlete, he was, uh, one
that that, um man, so many ofthose kids could just look up to
.
You know, he's just one ofthose ones that you know, he, he
, just he, they could you justwish that your kid could grow up
(25:37):
with his debt, with hisdedication.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Well, he knew he wasn't going to be just a
basketball player, he's moreyeah.
I mean, that's, that's thebeauty of Kobe Bryant.
He, he knew that he needed totake this vehicle that he got
his fame from and use it forgood.
You know, like he did his, hetook it to a whole nother level
and made you a um, um, a sportsum.
You know hero.
(26:02):
You know he made him, made himpeople think about.
You know how you should be, uh,presenting yourself as a
professional athlete.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah, he.
I like I said Colby missed, uh,I'll miss, I missed Colby.
Oh, I mean when, when ithappened, I mean you just miss
him from the game, just himplaying.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I mean it was was, it was horrible yeah, every time,
every time I hear a you knowabout, um, aircraft accidents
and all that stuff, I mean, yeah, I'm, I'm like this and I got
this like analytical mountainmind, where I'm like first I'm
always trying to figure out,like how in hell did this happen
?
Like that whole helicoptercrash in california, I was like,
how did this happen?
You know, they're not, they'rethere.
(26:41):
Their mountains aren't that bigout there, they're.
You know, this is a you know,and this helicopter pilots
flying through the fog and youknow, didn't have the really the
ratings that he needed to bedoing what he was doing and uh,
there's just, it's just sad.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
But unfortunately, in our industry and what we do, uh
, that's part, that's part of it.
I mean, I tell people that allthe time you might think that
we're just up in the air andwe're serving this or we're
doing that.
You do realize this.
We go up in that cabin, we'reat 35,000, 40,000 feet every day
in a pressurized tube with ajet that's full of fuel and
(27:17):
engines on the east side.
There's a chance you might notcome back today.
Oh heck, yeah.
So you know, there is thatchance of what we got and
unfortunately this week we'regoing to have to talk about a
few of those.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Yeah, we're going to have to talk about it.
The first thing that happenedthis week that stood out in my
mind right here was that F-35jet fighter that crashed the
pilot like ejected out ofthe—did you see the video?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah, I did.
The plane just spiraled down.
It was amazing, though.
I mean, where it landed, though.
Right, I mean, it was like inan open field.
Well, it was in Alaska.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
So I mean there's a lot of open space in Alaska, I
know, but still though.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I mean they had a full view of it.
That was incredible video.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, ellison Air Force Base is what had happened,
which is about 25 miles southof Fairbanks, alaska.
You know the pilot ejected outin a freaking plane.
You know those planes ifthey're not moving, you know
it's a flat spin coming down.
And you know one of our friendsthat we've known for a long
time in the industry, one of ourretired pilots, a good friend
(28:21):
of mine, bill Hafner.
You know Bill.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he was a FWild Bill.
Yeah, he was a F-14 pilot andhad to do that exact same thing,
but he did it in the Pacific,ejected out, did he really?
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Yeah, he ejected out of theF-14.
And I don't know if youremember this, you know, like in
the movie Top Gun, yeah, youknow, like they were doing those
(28:43):
flat spins.
Yeah, well, the F-14, there wasa time in history where that
jet had a problem, you know, andthere was pilots all over the
world that was actually ejectingout of these things and these
jets aren't cheap, know, and, uh, he injected out his, you know,
(29:03):
we know no one loved this guyhe's a shout out to bill if he's
.
If he's listening to our podcast, he's spending the water.
Uh, I have no idea, but I meanit messed up.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
That'd be some scary shit right there his back and
everything like.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
He had to have surgery and it was it's bad yeah
, but that'd be some scary shit,man yeah, hidden in the ocean.
I mean, if you look at thatvideo, this guy, this is this
F-35 pilot.
I mean how quick was it?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
You see him like pop and then the jet's on the flat
underground blowing up.
Yeah, I mean I'm sorry man.
I mean I know you survived.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
He wasn't out there that long because you know he
was on a train mission and it'slike there was rescue.
You know they had helicoptersout there picking them up and
all that good stuff.
When you go, fishing.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
if you throw something out there and you go
fish, it don't take long forsomething to go bite on it.
I know what you're saying.
I mean that's cool.
I didn't know that I'm going tohave to ask Bill about that,
because that shit would not beany fun dropping in the water.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
He wasn't out there that long, I know, because he
had a rescue.
They came out to rescue him,you know, picked him up by
helicopter and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well, how much did that plane cost?
That went down?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
The one that went down.
So you know, here's someinteresting tidbits about, like,
the cost of these foot jetfighters that protect us.
F-35 comes in three differentmodels the A, b and the C.
And the first one is just onethat just like is a normal you
know Air Force, it takes offfrom a runway right.
The second, that's the a model,the b model, that that one
(30:23):
costs 82.5 million dollars perjet.
Now that's now.
The second one is the b model.
The b model is kind of likethat one that it can take off
vertically right, so like ifit's on a hair car aircraft
carrier, you can go likestraight up and like a hover.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, like a hover, that's pretty cool like the old
harrier aircraft.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That's pretty cool, right.
So, um, that one costs 109million, right.
And so then there's the c model, which is like for the aircraft
carriers they have the tailhook and, uh, they're reinforced
landing gear and all that stuff, and that one's 102.1 million.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
So which one was this one?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
This one was the first one, the 82.5 million one.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Okay, so this was 82.5 million.
So if a pilot, if a pilotejects out of that and spins in
it and it crashes, is thatpayroll deduct.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I hope not.
You're going to be in the.
You're going to be there for along time.
I had to At a military pay rate.
You're going to be there for along time.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
As long as he was good, that's it.
Man Long time I just had tomake a little funny.
Sorry, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Go to the next one.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Oh, you know something, the next one, I mean
this next one folks is reallyreally sad.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
This is today's event .
This is what we woke up to thismorning, happened yesterday
evening.
The commuter carrier you know,for American Airlines out of
Wichita, kansas, flight 5342.
It was a CRJ700 operated by PSAAirlines, you know, lost 60
(31:56):
passengers while they collidedinto a military Blackhawk on the
Potomac and it's been super,super sad.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Folks, you know about this.
I really don't like talkingabout airline accidents that
much, because it's just what wedo and I don't like talking
about it.
I mean, prayers go out toeveryone involved.
We don't know what happened.
We're not going to speculate.
What happened is something thathorrible.
That happened today.
Everybody can see the videos.
(32:28):
We don't even have to post one,because all you have to do is
just go look and it is so sad.
But it goes back to what I saidbefore.
Every day, when we get on theseairplanes and this goes out to
every person that works on anairplane we just don't serve
little bitty peanuts or pretzelsor whatever it is, and sodas.
(32:49):
This is what we do every singleday, and some days we don't
come home and this is one ofthose days, and prayers go out
to all those people.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
It's horrible Family crew, you know friends.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Blackhawk, crew, everyone.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Everybody, everybody involved or connected to this in
any way.
Our hearts bleed for you.
I mean, this is a total tragedy, shouldn't have ever happened.
I hope they quickly resolve andtry to figure out, but I have a
feeling about this, not a goodfeeling, but I have a feeling
that this is going to be one ofthose.
You know, there was a humanerror and this is how we change
(33:26):
our rules.
You know the unfortunate, thedark side of aviation is that
rules get made when people die.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Anytime mistakes are made.
That's the only thing, that'sthe only way that things are
changed, because people make amistake and then they correct
the mistake, right, right.
I mean, that's what really.
Everything is made up that waywe make a mistake and then we
correct it, and then we try tonot make the same mistake again.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Well, talking about correcting mistakes, we're going
to move on here.
When I say correcting mistakesis our next thing we're going to
talk about is that they'regetting rid of a known crew
member.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I'm totally fine with that.
I mean, I really am.
And the reason why?
Because I know, kind of, whatthey're going to do.
What's that?
They're going to have aseparate line for the crew, it
seems like.
Is that right?
I mean, that's my understanding.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
So they're going to have this new system called the
Crew Access Point Program.
It's basically what it soundslike and they haven't given out
all the specifics and everything, but basically it's going to be
a crew line in the securityarea.
We're going to have our owncrew line for that, where you're
still going to be able to go,you're going through security,
but there is a where we're goingto be able to scan our badges,
(34:37):
just like we do today, and beable to go through and some are
going to be randomized and allthat stuff.
But I mean to go to making themistakes.
You know, for many years theTSA has been saying, hey, you
know, for many years the tsa hasbeen saying, hey, you know,
we're going to get rid of thisif you guys stopped being caught
with stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I mean abusing your privileges.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Abusing the privileges bringing things in
that they shouldn't be bringinginto.
Uh, bringing other people'sbags just that money.
Guns, weapons, all kinds of crapyeah, all this crap that they
shouldn't be doing.
But, um, you know, you keep onpushing, keep on pushing, keep
on pushing.
They take it away.
So those privileges get takenaway.
But it sounds like they're nowtransferring to a new system,
(35:16):
which is, in one way, for me,it's a good thing, because you,
like, you know you don't want toalways stay in the same system
for too long, because now youradversaries, the bad guys,
understand your system and tryto figure out how to get through
it.
You know, as we've heard, um,some of the crew members and you
know people getting throughthat, like we were talking about
(35:37):
that pastor getting goingthrough it.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
So well, let's understand.
Uh, about people like me thatgo through that damn thing every
single day that I'm number 10or 15 in line and my ass gets
random every single time.
I got to take my ass backthrough security anyway.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
That's just because they should be checking you.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Every single flipping day, man.
I mean, they've bumped up thechecks on crews so much it's
like you get random all the time.
The one day we went throughthere, Sean, there was five in a
row.
Five in a row.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah five.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
But you know something I'm good with this.
I'm absolutely good with this.
Go ahead and do it, give us ourown line.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
It's not supposed to happen.
This isn't going to beimplemented until the end of the
year.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Don't care, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
They can do it now, whatever they get to do I mean,
you and I are one a flightattendant we just do what you
have to do and get get it done,but yeah do it now.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
I'm good with it.
Exactly All right.
So we, we, we talked about uh,some of the uh bad stuff.
Now let's talk about somethinga little funny again.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
All right, let's do that.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
All right.
So I was on a plane and one ofour buddies we were sitting back
in the back when we startedtalking.
I was like, hey, you know,let's talk about something funny
.
He was like, okay, I want totalk about self-checkouts.
And I'm like that doesn't soundfunny.
He goes self-checkouts,self-checkouts.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
When you asked him about something to talk about,
funny he said self-checkouts.
Yeah, he said self-checkouts.
Keep on.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
You're going to like this.
Let me hear the story, allright?
Well, what do you think aboutself-checkout?
First, self-checkout Okay let'sjust go Costco's and Sam's and,
like Walmart, I'm going to putthose three because don't tell
me about a damn grocery storewhen you go in there.
You got your designer grocerystore because they don't check
your ass.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Well, first of all, it's the neighborhoods that I
hang out with.
Oh, shut up the ones that Ishop in.
I can just get my shit and getout of the store All right.
But for these other ones you'retalking about I guess you know
this like double check systemthat they do with you when you
like check out and you do thatself-checkout and then as you're
walking out the door you haveto like show your receipt again,
(37:40):
like I'm like what the no, it'sbullshit.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
We get in a line.
You've been through Costco'sright, right, okay, it's bad
enough to get your ass in thatline for the self-checkout or to
get in the line for the peoplethat actually check you out.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Now the receipts.
The color of the receipts areno different, right.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
They're white receipts, but they do that
little line, they put a line onit or whatever.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Right, look follow me on this.
They're basically the samething.
They put a line right throughit, right, but when you go out
the damn door, you still got toget in the same damn line.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
So you got to wait behind everybody else that now
they got a random check.
There's nothing fast about that, Sean.
There's nothing fast about that.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
That's why I hate going to Costco.
I don't think it's about youbeing speedy.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I don't give a shit.
I mean, you know something Ihate going to Because you get in
those damn lines Sam's, thesame thing, sam's, you go
through, sam's, you go throughthe self-checkout line.
You're like, okay, I'mself-checkout.
Nope, go out there.
There's two damn lines, they'renot just one, there's two.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
So let me tell you a little bit of story here.
I'm going to be on the side ofthe stores here.
So I'm with this buddy that Iused to know and he would go
through and he wouldintentionally try to get through
without them marking thereceipt right.
And so as soon as he would getthrough and that receipt wasn't
marked, he'd go in and he'd loadup his shit on the car and
(39:01):
stuff.
He walked back into the sam'sand he'd pull out a cart and
he'd go down the receipt listand he'd put it all back in his
cart and he'd wheel back out tothe exit and he'd have him slash
receipt list and he'd put itall back in his cart and he'd
wheel back out to the exit andhe'd have them slash it again
and they'd walk out the doorwith double items.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
All right, that shit ain't going to work.
Now, I mean these guys, I meanthese guys have this shit down
on lockdown.
You kidding me?
I get one damn thing.
I got one thing of orange juice.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
One thing, sean you had to wait in this line.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I did, and then you know what they did.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
They scanned it.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Scanned it, yeah, I'm like are you shitting me?
You're scanning for one.
Yeah man, this is what happens,but this was the best part of
this.
So we were talking about theself-checkout and we were just
like bashing it back and forth,just like we were just doing
right now.
And well, walmart does the samething.
Right, you have one damn thingoutside your Walmart cart and
(39:54):
that little dude's out theregoing, come on over here, and he
goes well, that's not in a bag.
And I said, well, no shit, it'snot in a bag.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
I mean, it's so big it won't go in a bag, it's not
going to go in a bag.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
There's no bag.
So what do?
What do you got to do?
You got to check my receipt,but now all the shit's in the
bag of this person.
They got like 500 bags, butthey let them leave the store
with 500 bags full of shit, butmine's got one thing that's not
in there, that won't fit in thebag.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
GG, just play the game, I'm just telling you, man,
we were just having fun talkingabout it.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Relax, relax, but anyway.
So this is the funny part.
He but anyway.
So this is the funny part.
He's going to a store that wehave over here.
It's called Mark's.
So he was out there shoppingand so you know, folks, when you
go through a store and you'renot thinking about it.
Well, he wasn't thinking and herung out and the girl rang him
out, he got his stuff, she saidgoodbye and he went on to his
way.
So he unloaded all of his stuffat home.
He started going through hisbanking statement.
(40:47):
He looked through it and he waslike what the hell did I spend
in March for $114?
When he went back and hestarted digging through all the
plastic bags and he was lookingat the receipts and he had
purchased one apple.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
One apple.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
You know what they charged him.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
No $63.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
$63.
What.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
The girl rang in $63.
Yeah, girl rang in 60.
Yeah, rang in 63 bucks.
Dude, that's like an alpaorchard.
He could have been like thefreaking.
Uh, he could have bought it forthe freaking home so he went
back.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
He went back to the store and he showed the manager
the thing, the, the receipt andand he goes look, I'm being
honest and he goes.
Well, I, I think that you aretoo, because that'd be like 43
pounds of apples he goes nobody,nobody buys 43 pounds.
So anyway, who in the hellwouldn't look at the receipt?
Speaker 1 (41:44):
first of all, I'm walking out the store like that
and I mean that much.
So what was it?
60.
What did you say?
It was 63 bucks, 63 dollars.
For an apple, so he had a 63dollar difference in what he
should have been.
You know, like in your head.
I mean most of us, when we goto the store, when you like
you're ringing stuff up, youprobably have an idea, like what
(42:04):
the range should be or how muchthis is.
You start looking around like hewas 63 dollars off.

He had to look at his bankstatement and be like what's
like you need to be, get alittle bit more situational
aware it was funny, but you see,we had.

got deep history.
Elvis and then you know, youcan't think about memphis if
you're not thinking about elvis.
Elvis, I mean elvis.
Everybody thinks that you know,the only thing in memphis is
elvis.
But there's actually a lot morethan in memphis than just elvis
(43:03):
.
Bb king yeah, man, bb king wasfrom there.
Johnny cash recorded his well,he wasn't from there.
B BB King and Johnny Cashrecorded albums there at the

Uh, you know that happens inaugust, but there's another like
a festival or something likethat they have there, but two
weeks out of the year the wholeplace turns into nothing but
thousands and thousands,hundreds of thousands of Elvis's
walking around the street.
Speaker 2 (44:37):
Oh, I can believe that shit.
When we were kids I mean on theTV they used to have Elvis week
all the time.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah, I mean, is it I mean?
But from what I hear is likeI've never been there and I
haven't experienced this.
But I can't imagine justeverybody walking around looking
like Elvis hey baby, hey, baby,love that.
Yo, you guys in Cheeseburg,anyways, yeah, it's known for
live music too.
They got these clubs there BBKing's Blues Club, alfred's,

memphis is getting some memphisbarbecue you just, I mean, you

They work on tips, you know whatever for the whole
thing, and you know they comepick you up at Pink Cadillac and
you go there, you eat and theytake you back to your hotel,
wherever you're staying in aPink Cadillac.
It's like part of their service.
They've been doing this foryears and years.
They have a little fleet ofPink Cadillacs that just takes
care of their customers.

You know me in the wintertime,right, let me go tell you the
destination LA LA.
Speaker 1 (02:30):

Speaker 2 (02:32):
But then I had to go to Newark.
Speaker 1 (02:33):

Speaker 2 (02:40):
First of all, that's the last flight to Newark in the
wintertime.
Speaker 1 (02:43):

anymore in my whole entire life.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Okay, no wait, wait.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Working.
You might see me in first classor something, but not working
it for sure You're going to lovethis.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
So, okay, I was the.
When you're flying the 7-8,because you know how we fly
different planes.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Right, I was a low position oh fun, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So when you're the low position, you know who I am
right door greeter.
Yeah, door here.
So now I get to see everyperson that comes on that
airplane you're the face of thecompany yeah, but where we're at
, we usually don't fly widebodies no so it gets a little
better.
What's that?
Well, when you know, whenyou're the door creator, you're
standing there and the rightside of the plane you got like
(03:26):
ABCD and then goes E, f, j, k, l, n, o, p, o, all the way to the
other freaking side and thenyou turn around.
First class is like a, b, j, l.
What the fuck?
What is that?
Speaker 1 (03:39):
And people you don't.
You don't know where you'regoing.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
You have no flipping clue, right?
So you're standing there andI'm going what?
I've got to have cheat sheetson this damn thing.
I mean, I've only been doingthis.
How long you needed a map, itgets better.
Though.
I'm standing there, the girl isright next to me.
She's laughing because I toldher.
I was like, oh my God, this isunbelievable.
And she goes, it happens allthe time.
(04:05):
So they, they were coming on onboard the aircraft and there's
two e seats too.
What the hell?
Two e seats, e, e.
So you got a, b, j, l, and thenyou got some e seat up front
too, like comes on.
She was like e seat and I waslike I don't know, are you on
the right plane?
Because I don't even know ifit's an e c a, b, c, d E, no, no
.
No, it was A, b, and then like J, l, I mean you know how they
(04:27):
had the first class.
Yeah, it was some big gap.
I don't know who designed that,but it was crazy.
So here I'm going, you know,and they're coming on 7-8.
So, like A, b, I'm like right,left, go this way, go this way,
and all of a sudden You'resending people in any direction.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
you can Just act like you know, even though you don't
know.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Fake it till you make it man, fake it till you make
it baby.
So she comes on.
She says E.
I'm like I have no flippingidea.
And she looked at me and thenFlight Attendant goes around the
corner.
I started busting up laughing.
I looked at her.
I was like I don't know how thehell the E seat was on this one
.
I didn't even know there was anE seat.
I'm like why did they do?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
that that was just stupid.
Yeah, hey man.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Well, I wasn't done All right, so I went to Newark
minimum wave over, had to get up5 am.
Wake up, All right.
5 am, show 5 a.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Back to the West Coast.
Oh yeah, and I had some newpeople.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Great On a white body Nightmare.
Not good.
Well, they're good.
No, the other side was goodbecause they weren't new.
My side was new.
Oh yeah, so you got on thesucker side.
You know, everybody takes thetime and it takes a little bit
of time you know I made twoservices through the whole
transcom.
It was tough, man, it was rough.
(05:50):
It was rough Cause, you know me, I'm ready to get going.
So as soon as I get up in theair man, I'm like, let's get
this, let's get this done.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
There's like a uh.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
You had Speedy Gonzalez over on the left of me
and I had Slowpoke Rodriguez.
You know what I mean?
I mean it was like completelypolar opposite of who I had, and
it's fine, she was new,whatever.
I mean, I just make fun of itbecause it's a new person.
You know she was just having atough time with it, but you know
(06:22):
how you get locked in behindthem.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Yeah, man, I mean, one of the things about like the
new employees, whatever whenyou're working with them, is
that they just they don't havethat sense of urgency where
we're just like when I just getit done, we can get it done and
be friendly.
You can get it done Like youknow and everybody be happy
about it, Right, you know.
(06:45):
But or you get the people thatare like you know just they
they're they're doing like thatout of by the book for the what
they taught you in training, youknow, hi, would you like a
choice?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
I know I'm like oh man guys, we're gonna be here
all damn day oh, you know what?
The choices are here.
Let me tell you this even getsbetter, though, because you know
when you're going to the westcoast and everybody knows this,
right it is you have to havecoffee you have to have brewed
tea, you have to have, uh, hotwater, I mean you have to have
(07:15):
all this shit.
And then you get to the rose andhis damn headphones.
Right, oh my god, thoseheadphones absolutely flip and
kill me.
Then they take them off andthen it's it.
It's like three drinks.
They're like you're, you'renever coming back, sean.
Three drinks, but anyway, yeahit, that was my catch up trans
cons back and forth West coast,uh, 26 hours.
(07:36):
Uh, anybody knows that you'reearning your money If you're
doing that whole trip, ifsomething messes up, I mean
you're golden dude, right, youain't doing it.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Dude, stick needles in my eye.
That was me.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
I'd be happier I had to do the whole damn thing.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It was not good man, all right.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
What about you?
What's been going on?
Speaker 1 (07:55):
You know I've still got school going on right now,
so I'm doing a really cool class.
I got this physical computingclass going on and and, uh, it's
taken me back, you know, likeback to my old, uh, air force
days when I was like messingwith all those mechanics and
electronics and stuff and got tocan repair stuff and doing all
this shit.
You know, it was just I likethat type of things.
You know, like just fixingthing.
(08:16):
There's like this, thesatisfaction of like when you
get it fixed.
You know, I, I did that type ofthing Working with your hands,
yeah, just working with yourhands and it got me into that
whole thing.
You know that feeling, and so Igot this idea.
I'm like you know what?
I was listening to you oh no.
You actually listened to me.
Yeah, I actually listened to Gand he was doing some cleanup in
(08:38):
his house, so I was like youknow.
So I decided to dive into mynetworking in my house and that
was a total crazy turned into,turned into, turned to, okay,
but it started off kind of shitshow, ish and he actually showed
me.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
This is is actually incredible, man.
If you've seen this this little, it's like an electronic bay
back there Now.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean I made aprofessional-looking network
system in my house, put a racksystem in there and all that
stuff for anybody that's anetwork geek out there that
knows what I'm talking about.
But I just kind of like wascleaning up everything because
when I built my house I had allthis technology built into the
house, so I had like cat five.
I had coax cables, all thephone stuff.
(09:25):
You know everything that wasnormal at the time.
I built it in 2000.
Well, in 2000,.
I mean we're sitting here 25years later.
I mean right now, coax cablewhich is for those people that
don't know what coax cable is isthe cable that we used to use
to plug in our tv into the, thetv box, you know, to get cable
in our house, yeah that's whatwe would refer to as cable.
(09:48):
Well, the coax cable, we don'teven use it anymore nobody yeah,
I mean, everybody's streamingnow, yep.
So, um, all I'm doing is, youknow, I was like I need to just
clean all this stuff up becausethat was like rat nest in my
basement.
So, yeah, I was doing that.
That's one of the things I did.
And, uh, while I was doing that, this would be very interesting
.
It's been cold as hell here.
(10:08):
Right outside the back of myhouse is this big old lake and I
look out the window.
The other day and these twokids had went out on the lake
and cleared off a huge sectionof the lake and they're out
there playing hockey.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Really Right here in my backyard.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Was it that cold?
I mean, it was that cold Really, right here.
I skated right in my backyardhere.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Good thing you could see them, in case their ass fell
through.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Dude, that day it was like four degrees, oh wow.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
It was so cold.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
I mean, you only need like three inches of ice, like
two inches of ice, somethinglike that.
It's something ridiculous.
But yeah, they were out thereskating and everything and
cleared off.
They had shovels and they werelike just going down the ice,
clearing off the ice and skatingaround.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
I bet that was cool though, because you don't see
kids out very much.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
No, no, no.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
So when you see them out there, it's kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It was really refreshing to like see kids out
doing something, especiallygetting their ass out there in
four degrees.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Shoveling anything.
You shitting me.
They wouldn't shovel anything.
You kidding me.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
After they got done and as they were walking back
towards the house and stuff, Iopened my window and kind of
yelled through and I was like,hey, you guys are having fun,
look good, it's great You're outthere skating and stuff.
And they're like was it okay?
I'm like I don't give a,somebody needs to use it.
I'm just sitting there thinkingmost kids you look at you be
(11:26):
like what is this for?
Right, right, but it was, itwas really cool.
I was just it was something tohappen.
That was very unusual.
I've been here for 25 years inmy house right now and never,
ever have I seen somebody iceskate on the lake well, your ass
ain't gonna be out there.
Your damn gimp knee there's noway my gimp ass is gonna be out
there ice skating, but it wasfun to watch do you know?
Speaker 2 (11:41):
the one thing I really want to talk about it's's
been in the news a lot and Iknow that we don't get real
political here, but this is kindof like a right and a wrong and
a law thing is the massdeportation.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Yeah, man, that stuff's been going on everywhere
.
It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
The only reason I want to talk about it is that
there's a lot of people saying,hey, you know, they're not
criminals.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Not well, no, hell, no, you know, they're not
criminals.
Not well, no Hell, no, okay,they're criminals.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
And I just want to say this because you know we
travel through US Customs allthe time.
Yeah, a lot we do.
I mean you know we do and whenwe go through we're required we
have to have our passports.
Now, they do a facialrecognition.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, that's a really nice system though.
Yeah, it's great A new facialrecognition system.
I mean you just kind of likewalk through and look at the
camera.
They take a quick snapshot.
They're like green light,you're good.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Yeah, because it's facial recognition.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
So much quicker.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Yeah, and that's what I'm saying.
If we, as a crew member, wentthrough US Customs and we just
ran right past the US Customsagent, headed for the doors,
went to the doors, we would havebeen tackled right, Right,
taken down, we would have beenhandcuffed to a bench somewhere,
(12:55):
yeah, okay, and there wouldhave been federal charges
against us for trying to evadecustoms in the United States,
correct, am?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
I right.
Not to mention, you just madeeverybody's day really bad
because they just locked downeverything and everything went
to hell.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Completely bad.
And you are a United Statescitizen that holds a passport
and you just became a federalcriminal in their eyes, right,
Right.
So I just want to talk aboutthese people that have been
saying that these people are notcriminals when you just cross
across a river and think thatyou can come into the United
(13:28):
States and do everything that iscompletely illegal for
immigration and not beconsidered a federal criminal.
That doesn't make sense, Sean.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Well, first of all, a criminal once you break a law,
you're a criminal.
It doesn't matter what period.
I mean, that's the law, that'sour law.
So they're coming with,whatever country they're coming
from, whatever their laws is, wedon't give a shit, we only care
about what our law is Right,right.
So as soon as they break thatlaw, they're a criminal.
Yeah, I mean, I totally, 100%agree with you.
(14:00):
I mean, but any of those peopleout there that say that they're
not criminals and you knowthey're criminals If they've
broken the law, they've brokenthe law period, right, and they
don't need to be in our country.
Get your, you know, come toUnited States, come to America
(14:22):
and get your citizenship orwhatever you're trying to do,
come here as a student.
There's all different types ofreasons.
If you're not doing it, if youhaven't done it the right way,
you're a criminal.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
And guess what, sean?
These people are the peoplethat were on our planes in 9-11.
And I don't want them back onour planes again.
And I'm not saying about.
Of course there's a lot ofpeople that you know just want
to come to our country and maketheir lives better.
I get that, don't get me wrong.
I really do, but you have to doit the right way.
We have laws.
(14:52):
You have to abide by those laws, just like me and you.
We have to abide by them, andthat's the only thing I mean.
That was the only thing thatreally got me this week is when
I listened to all this and therewas people saying that they're
not criminals, and I'm like theyare criminals yeah, they're
criminals and they need to goback to their country.
They need to apply to come tothe United States and if you can
(15:14):
come in, welcome in, come in,but do it the right way, don't
do it the wrong way.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
I agree, man, I mean just, I mean all these deportees
right now and all the like, uh,what Trump's doing with the
whole, uh, you know targetingthe most, uh, you know, violent
of the criminals and all thatstuff.
Um, I mean thank God somebodyis doing it now.
I mean because there are somany people that have been
affected by this.
I mean, I know flightattendants have been affected by
(15:41):
this.
Like, people have been attackedand stuff on their layovers and
stuff, and it was, you know,illegal aliens coming into the
country, right, but yeah, I meanthat whole thing with them
sending them back to Colombiaand the Colombian president like
not saying hey, hey, we're nottaking them.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Can you imagine that didn't last long.
Yeah that didn't last long,that did not go well, right A
few conversations and he'svolunteering his own jet, his
own jet to bring him back?
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Do you want me to send my jet?
I'll send my jet.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
But that right there, that shows some authority and
power.
That's where the US should be.
It should be A power leveragestate.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
And we shouldn't even be talking about this, but
anyway, I just want to touch onit, because the only thing that
really bothered me I know we'regoing to go through this, but
the only thing that reallybothered me is anyone that
doesn't think that they arecriminals, because if you would
try to bypass customs, trust me,you're a U S citizen, you're a
criminal in their eyes, you're afederal criminal at this point.
(16:44):
So anyone that does the samething in our country is
considered a criminal.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Yeah, and I like what they're doing right now with
the whole Gitmo thing too.
I mean the worst of the worstfor putting them in.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Gitmo, I mean.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Hey, that is a Guantanamo Bay Lockdown, is what
is it?
They said like 300,000 or 3,000or something like that.
New beds or something like thatthey were looking for.
There was a lot of them,whatever it was, whatever the
number is.
But I'm happy that you knowthat I have a brother that's.
He actually works ice, he's anice agent and, uh, he's in, uh,
(17:18):
denver, and so I've been lookingfor him on the news.
I I texted him the other day.
I'm like where, when is he inyour face?
He's like we tried to avoidthat and I'm like, dude, come on
, this is your opportunity,you're in the sky.
But he, but he's like I'm just,I was just wishing him well and
, you know, making sure that hewas being safe and all that
stuff.
But he's like like, yeah, we'rebusy.
(17:39):
He's like we're just busy.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
They're going to be busy for a long time.
But, like I said, whether it'sthem or anyone else, if you
break the law you go to jail.
I don't care if you're in theUnited States.
If you're a citizen of theUnited States, break the law, go
to jail.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah, one of the things that he's super happy
about it.
Like he left, he was borderpatrol and so he was border
patrol in Arizona and he was.
He was the guy running aroundin the bushes and chasing these
guys.
I mean, my brother's built,he's fit.
I mean he was like he justturned, he got into his forties
and he's like I'm getting tooold for this shit to be running
around in the bushes.
(18:14):
She's shaking up.
Chasing these people in thebushes, you know, was like I
gotta get out of here and go goto somewhere a little bit easier
.
And so he went to uh, ice anduh.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Now he's chasing him again in the bushes and
everywhere else.
I was in there going wait aminute.
He just jumped right back inthe fire, right back in a bigger
fire than that.
It's like a forest fire right.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
But here's the thing before he was like catching them
and releasing them, and nowhe's keeping them and deporting
them.
So that's good.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Absolutely perfect.
All right man.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Anyways, we want to talk about this week, man, you
know, like we were talking aboutour last episode, we were
talking about some fun things,or you know some historical
stuff that's happened as far asthis week in history and one of
(19:04):
the things that was recordedthis week uh, in history, in
1887, the largest snowflake wasdiscovered.
You know how big it was.
No go ahead.
First of all, I'm like in mymind I'm thinking how do they
measure a snowflake?
You know, like in my mind.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I'm sitting there thinking are we like chevy
chase's vacation here, thebiggest house of mud, or what go
ahead?
Speaker 1 (19:20):
exactly the biggest um ball of twine, but they're.
They said this thing is was 15inches wide and eight inches
thick.
Dude, that's like.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
That's like a cannonball how would you
discover that?
You look at on the ground Imean I mean at the.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I was reading this story and they're saying you
know um, the next biggestsnowflake that they found was
like 0.39 inches.
Did they keep that?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
though did they keep that?
Speaker 1 (19:51):
snowflake, there's a little bit of a skeptical.
Uh, you know, believe belief inthis record, but it was in 1887
recorded, so you know it knowit's in somebody's freezer.
Nobody had an iPhone to recordthe flake, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
There's some guy got the damn thing in his freezer
right now, right.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Exactly, probably he's got it.
This is my grandpa's grandpa'sbiggest snowflake moment, all
right give me the next one.
Anyways, and you know, one ofthe things that people get as
souvenirs here in the UnitedStates but red solo cups.
They're coming to America andthey want to take back to Europe
(20:33):
or wherever country they comefrom.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Alabama.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
Yeah, that's not a country I know, but it's.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I'm sitting here thinking to myself.
You know something, souvenir.
Have you ever heard that song?
Red Solo Cup right, yoursouvenir is writing your name on
the damn thing that's in everytrailer park there is.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Yeah, you do everywhere you can name it.
I love that one Because theparty scene and the movies that
like publicized the Red Solo Cup.
It's like it's become a noveltyitem for people to bring it

Speaker 2 (21:03):
You know, there's just some damn hillbillies
holding his up and saying I gota damn souvenir too.
I drank all the damn beer Firstof all.

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I love that one man Anyways.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
January 31st 1961, a chimp named Ham.
21st 1961, a chimp named Ham.
I don't know who even thoughtof him.
Who's going to name a chimp Ham?
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Could you imagine if the chimp actually knew it?
I mean he said hey, what's yourname, ham?
What the?
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, poor Ham.
Anyways, this primate was thefirst primate in space.
He was on the Mercury Redstone2 mission and he actually
survived.
You know a lot of those earlymissions and stuff.
They'd send dogs up and allkinds of stuff and they didn't
always survive, but thischimpanzee did and he actually
(22:18):
um, actually uh, resided in, uhin in the DC DC zoo and um so he
was the first ham in space.
He was the first ham in space,baby, the space ham who now
named him.
Who does this?
Who does this?
Here's another story.
Let me tell another story totell you how far we've come in
(22:43):
in uh, in politics and uh ourrights and stuff.
In 2013, which is not too longago, the french government just
made it legal for parisian womento wear pants all right, I got
a question.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
What's that?
What were they wearing before?
Speaker 1 (22:57):
they wear them before .
Speaker 2 (22:58):
I think, gauchos culottes, you have no idea
dresses if you're like oh yeah,you're, you can wear pants now
yeah, I don't know, but it was.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It was illegal to wear them until 2013.
Then that was just likeyesterday I like that one go
ahead.
Those french are crazy anyways.
Yeah, 1803, ohio became the17th state in the United States,
and we're going to shift into alittle bit more sober stuff
(23:29):
here.
Well, in 1986, and I don't knowabout you, but I know myself
and I sure many americans cantell you where they were at
during this uh event but thespace shuttle challenger
exploded and um 73 seconds aftertakeoff I remember seeing it.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I remember it um watching it on tv.
I can't tell you exactly whereI was at.
I know that I was in front of aTV watching it.
Don't know exactly where I was.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Well, I was in front of a TV but I was off at Air
Force Base in 1986, and I wasdoing a weapons training class
and I was sitting there in thisweapons training class and the
TV.
Remember how, like in schoolrooms, training class and the tv
, um, remember how, like inschool rooms, and stuff the tube
tvs, they put them on a cart.
(24:25):
Yeah, you know, because theywere so heavy wheeling around
the cart and stuff, plug them in.
Well, there's big, this tv is inthere and they wheeled it into
the garden.
They're like, turn, turn on thetv, turn on, turn on the tv.
And they turn on the tv andboom, you see the TV and boom,
you see the shuttle explode itwas, like everybody in the room,
(24:47):
drop jaw dropping moment.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Like I said, I remember watching it.
I can't tell you exactly whereI was at.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, I mean it was, I mean for those people that
were alive during that time.
It was a very sobering momentin the space age and in the
united states and stuff.
But another sobering moment,too, that just happened not too
long ago, 2020.
You know, this week, uh was theuh anniversary of kobe bryant's
(25:11):
helicopter crash that wascompletely gut-wrenching.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Yeah, one of the best athletes, um one of the best
basketball players to ever playthe game, uh, he was.
He was amazing as a person,amazing athlete, he was, uh, one
that that, um man, so many ofthose kids could just look up to
.
You know, he's just one ofthose ones that you know, he, he
, just he, they could you justwish that your kid could grow up
(25:37):
with his debt, with hisdedication.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
Well, he knew he wasn't going to be just a
basketball player, he's moreyeah.
I mean, that's, that's thebeauty of Kobe Bryant.
He, he knew that he needed totake this vehicle that he got
his fame from and use it forgood.
You know, like he did his, hetook it to a whole nother level
and made you a um, um, a sportsum.
You know hero.
(26:02):
You know he made him, made himpeople think about.
You know how you should be, uh,presenting yourself as a
professional athlete.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah, he.
I like I said Colby missed, uh,I'll miss, I missed Colby.
Oh, I mean when, when ithappened, I mean you just miss
him from the game, just himplaying.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
I mean it was was, it was horrible yeah, every time,
every time I hear a you knowabout, um, aircraft accidents
and all that stuff, I mean, yeah, I'm, I'm like this and I got
this like analytical mountainmind, where I'm like first I'm
always trying to figure out,like how in hell did this happen
?
Like that whole helicoptercrash in california, I was like,
how did this happen?
You know, they're not, they'rethere.
(26:41):
Their mountains aren't that bigout there, they're.
You know, this is a you know,and this helicopter pilots
flying through the fog and youknow, didn't have the really the
ratings that he needed to bedoing what he was doing and uh,
there's just, it's just sad.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
But unfortunately, in our industry and what we do, uh
, that's part, that's part of it.
I mean, I tell people that allthe time you might think that
we're just up in the air andwe're serving this or we're
doing that.
You do realize this.
We go up in that cabin, we'reat 35,000, 40,000 feet every day
in a pressurized tube with ajet that's full of fuel and
(27:17):
engines on the east side.
There's a chance you might notcome back today.
Oh heck, yeah.
So you know, there is thatchance of what we got and
unfortunately this week we'regoing to have to talk about a
few of those.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Yeah, we're going to have to talk about it.
The first thing that happenedthis week that stood out in my
mind right here was that F-35jet fighter that crashed the
pilot like ejected out ofthe—did you see the video?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah, I did.
The plane just spiraled down.
It was amazing, though.
I mean, where it landed, though.
Right, I mean, it was like inan open field.
Well, it was in Alaska.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
So I mean there's a lot of open space in Alaska, I
know, but still though.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
I mean they had a full view of it.
That was incredible video.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, ellison Air Force Base is what had happened,
which is about 25 miles southof Fairbanks, alaska.
You know the pilot ejected outin a freaking plane.
You know those planes ifthey're not moving, you know
it's a flat spin coming down.
And you know one of our friendsthat we've known for a long
time in the industry, one of ourretired pilots, a good friend
(28:21):
of mine, bill Hafner.
You know Bill.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, he was a FWild Bill.
Yeah, he was a F-14 pilot andhad to do that exact same thing,
but he did it in the Pacific,ejected out, did he really?
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Yeah, he ejected out of theF-14.
And I don't know if youremember this, you know, like in
the movie Top Gun, yeah, youknow, like they were doing those
(28:43):
flat spins.
Yeah, well, the F-14, there wasa time in history where that
jet had a problem, you know, andthere was pilots all over the
world that was actually ejectingout of these things and these
jets aren't cheap, know, and, uh, he injected out his, you know,
(29:03):
we know no one loved this guyhe's a shout out to bill if he's
.
If he's listening to our podcast, he's spending the water.
Uh, I have no idea, but I meanit messed up.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
That'd be some scary shit right there his back and
everything like.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
He had to have surgery and it was it's bad yeah
, but that'd be some scary shit,man yeah, hidden in the ocean.
I mean, if you look at thatvideo, this guy, this is this
F-35 pilot.
I mean how quick was it?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
You see him like pop and then the jet's on the flat
underground blowing up.
Yeah, I mean I'm sorry man.
I mean I know you survived.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
He wasn't out there that long because you know he
was on a train mission and it'slike there was rescue.
You know they had helicoptersout there picking them up and
all that good stuff.
When you go, fishing.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
if you throw something out there and you go
fish, it don't take long forsomething to go bite on it.
I know what you're saying.
I mean that's cool.
I didn't know that I'm going tohave to ask Bill about that,
because that shit would not beany fun dropping in the water.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
He wasn't out there that long, I know, because he
had a rescue.
They came out to rescue him,you know, picked him up by
helicopter and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Well, how much did that plane cost?
That went down?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
The one that went down.
So you know, here's someinteresting tidbits about, like,
the cost of these foot jetfighters that protect us.
F-35 comes in three differentmodels the A, b and the C.
And the first one is just onethat just like is a normal you
know Air Force, it takes offfrom a runway right.
The second, that's the a model,the b model, that that one
(30:23):
costs 82.5 million dollars perjet.
Now that's now.
The second one is the b model.
The b model is kind of likethat one that it can take off
vertically right, so like ifit's on a hair car aircraft
carrier, you can go likestraight up and like a hover.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, like a hover, that's pretty cool like the old
harrier aircraft.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
That's pretty cool, right.
So, um, that one costs 109million, right.
And so then there's the c model, which is like for the aircraft
carriers they have the tailhook and, uh, they're reinforced
landing gear and all that stuff, and that one's 102.1 million.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
So which one was this one?
Speaker 1 (30:59):
This one was the first one, the 82.5 million one.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
Okay, so this was 82.5 million.
So if a pilot, if a pilotejects out of that and spins in
it and it crashes, is thatpayroll deduct.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
I hope not.
You're going to be in the.
You're going to be there for along time.
I had to At a military pay rate.
You're going to be there for along time.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
As long as he was good, that's it.
Man Long time I just had tomake a little funny.
Sorry, all right.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Go to the next one.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Oh, you know something, the next one, I mean
this next one folks is reallyreally sad.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
This is today's event .
This is what we woke up to thismorning, happened yesterday
evening.
The commuter carrier you know,for American Airlines out of
Wichita, kansas, flight 5342.
It was a CRJ700 operated by PSAAirlines, you know, lost 60
(31:56):
passengers while they collidedinto a military Blackhawk on the
Potomac and it's been super,super sad.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Folks, you know about this.
I really don't like talkingabout airline accidents that
much, because it's just what wedo and I don't like talking
about it.
I mean, prayers go out toeveryone involved.
We don't know what happened.
We're not going to speculate.
What happened is something thathorrible.
That happened today.
Everybody can see the videos.
(32:28):
We don't even have to post one,because all you have to do is
just go look and it is so sad.
But it goes back to what I saidbefore.
Every day, when we get on theseairplanes and this goes out to
every person that works on anairplane we just don't serve
little bitty peanuts or pretzelsor whatever it is, and sodas.
(32:49):
This is what we do every singleday, and some days we don't
come home and this is one ofthose days, and prayers go out
to all those people.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
It's horrible Family crew, you know friends.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Blackhawk, crew, everyone.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
Everybody, everybody involved or connected to this in
any way.
Our hearts bleed for you.
I mean, this is a total tragedy, shouldn't have ever happened.
I hope they quickly resolve andtry to figure out, but I have a
feeling about this, not a goodfeeling, but I have a feeling
that this is going to be one ofthose.
You know, there was a humanerror and this is how we change
(33:26):
our rules.
You know the unfortunate, thedark side of aviation is that
rules get made when people die.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Anytime mistakes are made.
That's the only thing, that'sthe only way that things are
changed, because people make amistake and then they correct
the mistake, right, right.
I mean, that's what really.
Everything is made up that waywe make a mistake and then we
correct it, and then we try tonot make the same mistake again.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Well, talking about correcting mistakes, we're going
to move on here.
When I say correcting mistakesis our next thing we're going to
talk about is that they'regetting rid of a known crew
member.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
I'm totally fine with that.
I mean, I really am.
And the reason why?
Because I know, kind of, whatthey're going to do.
What's that?
They're going to have aseparate line for the crew, it
seems like.
Is that right?
I mean, that's my understanding.
Speaker 1 (34:17):
So they're going to have this new system called the
Crew Access Point Program.
It's basically what it soundslike and they haven't given out
all the specifics and everything, but basically it's going to be
a crew line in the securityarea.
We're going to have our owncrew line for that, where you're
still going to be able to go,you're going through security,
but there is a where we're goingto be able to scan our badges,
(34:37):
just like we do today, and beable to go through and some are
going to be randomized and allthat stuff.
But I mean to go to making themistakes.
You know, for many years theTSA has been saying, hey, you
know, for many years the tsa hasbeen saying, hey, you know,
we're going to get rid of thisif you guys stopped being caught
with stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
I mean abusing your privileges.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
Abusing the privileges bringing things in
that they shouldn't be bringinginto.
Uh, bringing other people'sbags just that money.
Guns, weapons, all kinds of crapyeah, all this crap that they
shouldn't be doing.
But, um, you know, you keep onpushing, keep on pushing, keep
on pushing.
They take it away.
So those privileges get takenaway.
But it sounds like they're nowtransferring to a new system,
(35:16):
which is, in one way, for me,it's a good thing, because you,
like, you know you don't want toalways stay in the same system
for too long, because now youradversaries, the bad guys,
understand your system and tryto figure out how to get through
it.
You know, as we've heard, um,some of the crew members and you
know people getting throughthat, like we were talking about
(35:37):
that pastor getting goingthrough it.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
So well, let's understand.
Uh, about people like me thatgo through that damn thing every
single day that I'm number 10or 15 in line and my ass gets
random every single time.
I got to take my ass backthrough security anyway.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
That's just because they should be checking you.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Every single flipping day, man.
I mean, they've bumped up thechecks on crews so much it's
like you get random all the time.
The one day we went throughthere, Sean, there was five in a
row.
Five in a row.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Yeah five.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
But you know something I'm good with this.
I'm absolutely good with this.
Go ahead and do it, give us ourown line.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
It's not supposed to happen.
This isn't going to beimplemented until the end of the
year.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
Don't care, that's fine.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
They can do it now, whatever they get to do I mean,
you and I are one a flightattendant we just do what you
have to do and get get it done,but yeah do it now.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
I'm good with it.
Exactly All right.
So we, we, we talked about uh,some of the uh bad stuff.
Now let's talk about somethinga little funny again.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
All right, let's do that.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
All right.
So I was on a plane and one ofour buddies we were sitting back
in the back when we startedtalking.
I was like, hey, you know,let's talk about something funny
.
He was like, okay, I want totalk about self-checkouts.
And I'm like that doesn't soundfunny.
He goes self-checkouts,self-checkouts.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
When you asked him about something to talk about,
funny he said self-checkouts.
Yeah, he said self-checkouts.
Keep on.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
You're going to like this.
Let me hear the story, allright?
Well, what do you think aboutself-checkout?
First, self-checkout Okay let'sjust go Costco's and Sam's and,
like Walmart, I'm going to putthose three because don't tell
me about a damn grocery storewhen you go in there.
You got your designer grocerystore because they don't check
your ass.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Well, first of all, it's the neighborhoods that I
hang out with.
Oh, shut up the ones that Ishop in.
I can just get my shit and getout of the store All right.
But for these other ones you'retalking about I guess you know
this like double check systemthat they do with you when you
like check out and you do thatself-checkout and then as you're
walking out the door you haveto like show your receipt again,
(37:40):
like I'm like what the no, it'sbullshit.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
We get in a line.
You've been through Costco'sright, right, okay, it's bad
enough to get your ass in thatline for the self-checkout or to
get in the line for the peoplethat actually check you out.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
Now the receipts.
The color of the receipts areno different, right.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
They're white receipts, but they do that
little line, they put a line onit or whatever.
Speaker 2 (38:01):
Right, look follow me on this.
They're basically the samething.
They put a line right throughit, right, but when you go out
the damn door, you still got toget in the same damn line.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (38:13):
So you got to wait behind everybody else that now
they got a random check.
There's nothing fast about that, Sean.
There's nothing fast about that.
Speaker 1 (38:20):
That's why I hate going to Costco.
I don't think it's about youbeing speedy.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
I don't give a shit.
I mean, you know something Ihate going to Because you get in
those damn lines Sam's, thesame thing, sam's, you go
through, sam's, you go throughthe self-checkout line.
You're like, okay, I'mself-checkout.
Nope, go out there.
There's two damn lines, they'renot just one, there's two.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
So let me tell you a little bit of story here.
I'm going to be on the side ofthe stores here.
So I'm with this buddy that Iused to know and he would go
through and he wouldintentionally try to get through
without them marking thereceipt right.
And so as soon as he would getthrough and that receipt wasn't
marked, he'd go in and he'd loadup his shit on the car and
(39:01):
stuff.
He walked back into the sam'sand he'd pull out a cart and
he'd go down the receipt listand he'd put it all back in his
cart and he'd wheel back out tothe exit and he'd have him slash
receipt list and he'd put itall back in his cart and he'd
wheel back out to the exit andhe'd have them slash it again
and they'd walk out the doorwith double items.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
All right, that shit ain't going to work.
Now, I mean these guys, I meanthese guys have this shit down
on lockdown.
You kidding me?
I get one damn thing.
I got one thing of orange juice.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
One thing, sean you had to wait in this line.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
I did, and then you know what they did.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
They scanned it.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Scanned it, yeah, I'm like are you shitting me?
You're scanning for one.
Yeah man, this is what happens,but this was the best part of
this.
So we were talking about theself-checkout and we were just
like bashing it back and forth,just like we were just doing
right now.
And well, walmart does the samething.
Right, you have one damn thingoutside your Walmart cart and
(39:54):
that little dude's out theregoing, come on over here, and he
goes well, that's not in a bag.
And I said, well, no shit, it'snot in a bag.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
I mean, it's so big it won't go in a bag, it's not
going to go in a bag.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
There's no bag.
So what do?
What do you got to do?
You got to check my receipt,but now all the shit's in the
bag of this person.
They got like 500 bags, butthey let them leave the store
with 500 bags full of shit, butmine's got one thing that's not
in there, that won't fit in thebag.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
GG, just play the game, I'm just telling you, man,
we were just having fun talkingabout it.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
Relax, relax, but anyway.
So this is the funny part.
He but anyway.
So this is the funny part.
He's going to a store that wehave over here.
It's called Mark's.
So he was out there shoppingand so you know, folks, when you
go through a store and you'renot thinking about it.
Well, he wasn't thinking and herung out and the girl rang him
out, he got his stuff, she saidgoodbye and he went on to his
way.
So he unloaded all of his stuffat home.
He started going through hisbanking statement.
(40:47):
He looked through it and he waslike what the hell did I spend
in March for $114?
When he went back and hestarted digging through all the
plastic bags and he was lookingat the receipts and he had
purchased one apple.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
One apple.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
You know what they charged him.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
No $63.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
$63.
What.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
The girl rang in $63.
Yeah, girl rang in 60.
Yeah, rang in 63 bucks.
Dude, that's like an alpaorchard.
He could have been like thefreaking.
Uh, he could have bought it forthe freaking home so he went
back.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
He went back to the store and he showed the manager
the thing, the, the receipt andand he goes look, I'm being
honest and he goes.
Well, I, I think that you aretoo, because that'd be like 43
pounds of apples he goes nobody,nobody buys 43 pounds.
So anyway, who in the hellwouldn't look at the receipt?
Speaker 1 (41:44):
first of all, I'm walking out the store like that
and I mean that much.
So what was it?
60.
What did you say?
It was 63 bucks, 63 dollars.
For an apple, so he had a 63dollar difference in what he
should have been.
You know, like in your head.
I mean most of us, when we goto the store, when you like
you're ringing stuff up, youprobably have an idea, like what
(42:04):
the range should be or how muchthis is.
You start looking around like hewas 63 dollars off.
Much to say, you know.
You start looking around like63 off.
I mean, dude, and it didn't.
He had to look at his bankstatement and be like what's
like you need to be, get alittle bit more situational
aware it was funny, but you see,we had.
Speaker 2 (42:21):
We had a funny conversation.
Speaker 1 (42:22):
It was a simple one about self-checkout right right
all right, man, let's go to thedestination destination this
week, man, we're gonna go tomemphis, tennessee, memphis.
I man, we're going to go toMemphis, tennessee, memphis.
I love Tennessee, memphis,tennessee, man, you know what I
really like about Memphis isthat it's got so much culture
there.

(42:43):
It's like Music Town, usa.
It's got all that soul andblues to it and stuff, and it's
got deep history.
Elvis and then you know, youcan't think about memphis if
you're not thinking about elvis.
Elvis, I mean elvis.
Everybody thinks that you know,the only thing in memphis is
elvis.
But there's actually a lot morethan in memphis than just elvis
(43:03):
