What happens when bone-chilling cold turns everyday tasks into Herculean efforts? We navigate the icy grip of winter that has swept across parts of the United States, transforming simple errands into daunting challenges. I share my journey of dealing with a persistent ear issue, shedding light on the cautious steps I'm taking with antibiotics, and why air travel is off the table for now. Our story takes a turn as we revisit a recent car accident, offering a candid look at the emotional toll such unexpected events can take. From disrupted sleep to heightened anxiety, these experiences echo far beyond the initial impact.
Unexpected moments often leave lasting impressions, as we explore the unsettling echoes of trauma that can linger after events like car accidents. Even minor bumps can stir up feelings akin to PTSD, altering how we approach daily activities like driving. Shifting focus to the West Coast, we confront the harsh reality of California's wildfires and the urgency they bring to decisions about what to save when everything is at stake. Empathy and resilience become our guiding lights as we reflect on these trials, underscoring the importance of standing together in both personal and natural disasters.
On a lighter note, nostalgia sweeps us away to first dates and the effortless charm of past fashion trends, contrasting them with today's designer-driven aesthetics. Safety takes center stage as we discuss the critical protocols for lithium batteries on flights, sharing a harrowing tale of their potential hazards. Our exploration continues with tales of Omaha's rich cultural tapestry, from the iconic Charles Schwab Field to the revival of vinyl records. As we close, we extend heartfelt condolences for recent tragedies, emphasizing the need for self-reliance and local support in times of crisis. Join us on this heartfelt journey through life's challenges, where nostalgia and resilience meet.

No, it's, it's getting a littlebit better, but I noticed this

was.
It was a lot better thismorning, but we'll see.
I mean it just takes time andand like we said before, I won't

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Right, right, that's smart.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Be smart.
Yeah, you know um one thing.
Uh, you remember last week whenI was telling you about the car
accident?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, it was crazy.
I noticed that happy time inyour life.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It's still really getting to me, I mean really
really bugging me, but, um, I'mgetting through it.
But what I noticed something isis that when I was getting back
in the car, I felt kind offunny.
Yeah, and have you been in acar accident before?
Oh yeah, now did you ever feelfunny?
Were you driving?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So my car accidents have been.
I've been rear ended a fewtimes and I rear ended somebody
one time time, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So when you, when you actually did it, did you feel
funny, like getting back in thecar.
No see, it was really weirdbecause, like I told you before,
um never even had a parkingticket.
So, uh, when I started gettingback in the car and started
driving, I started feeling alittle bit funny, apprehensive.
I'm like what the hell is this?
(03:26):
oh, like your cautious level,just like yeah, yeah, it came up
, you know right yeah, no, Ialways pride myself on, on, on
uh being a careful driver, butman, this really felt weird.
Yeah, so I started looking intothis.
Do you know that peopleactually, after accidents, they
actually they have some kind ofform of P PS or P PTSD?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Sorry, yeah, ptsd, yeah, the um that you know that
can happen to anybody, like it's.
Ptsd is an.
You know we everybodyassociates that with the
military right.
I mean, obviously we're talkingabout extremes, but it doesn't
matter if you're in a uh uh,just a minor, a minor argument.
I mean it can be anything likeanything that like shocks you to
(04:10):
a point where you're going tohave some type of, you know,
residual effect of that.
That's PTSD, right.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm getting.
I'm getting better, but it'sbeen jacking up my sleep.
I mean really, I mean it's beencrazy, but I noticed it more
when I got into the car and, asas I'm getting the car, like
when I came over here I was goodbecause I had made.
When I kind of woke up thismorning, I was like you know, I
got this, I, I I've been doingthis forever.
I'm not going to feel weirdabout getting in a damn car.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, so that that cautiousness is kind of kind of
in height heightened right nowwith your driving and making
sure that you're you know yougot it, dude, you're good.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Oh yeah, no, it wasn't that and, like I said,
you know, I just wanted to bringthat because you know, you know
I've been feeling kind of funkyabout it anyway, Right, and I
just wanted everybody else toknow that if, if this ever
happens to you, it's notabnormal, it's very normal.
I did a lot of reading about itbecause it was bugging me and I
just wanted to know and whatI've, what am I feeling is?
(05:07):
Is it normal?
And it is, it's a.
It's a normal feeling.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, man, this is total normal.
I mean people, people get PTSDfrom like shopping, you know
like you know like that, thatafter a purchase you know you
don't want, oh, should I havebought that?
Should I have not bought that?
And then you're going to belike worried about it, Things
like that.
Like people get it for allkinds of stuff, but it's normal.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You know what changed my whole outlook on it, though.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Last week we were going to talk about something
and we didn't get to it.
What's that Was the fires inCalifornia, oh man.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Fires in California right now are just.
It's unreal to be able to justimagine or fathom the situation
that people are in.
You know, like I was thinkingabout that the other day too.
Like imagine, my, I was sittinghere in my office and I was
like imagine if my whole entirehouse just burnt down.
(06:01):
Decimated, that would be likethis whole studio area right now
, nothing's, yeah, nothing'shere like, like you know what I
was thinking about, like thepeople that had time to grab
stuff and the people that didn'thave time to grab stuff and, uh
, you know, if you had that timeto grab, like, what would you
grab?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
it was decimated.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I watched uh no, the question was what would you grab
I?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
don't know, I don't know I I truthfully don't know
what I would grab, because thethe way it happened with them.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Most of them only had minutes, yeah, I mean like you
get you, you, the I'm just likepassports, yeah, passports,
stuff like that yeah, I meanlike that, that is like I kind
of like you know being beingairline and stuff, we got our
like kind of our go bags right,right where we like we have all
our shit backed and ready to goand ready to go.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I definitely grab that, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Like you, like it's like what are what's so valuable
that I needed to take with mein an instant that I can just
carry and be able to get out ofthe house and like people were
talking about some of thestories where the the people
were just grabbing photo albums.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I grabbed a computer cause I got it all downloaded on
there, just like you do.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, I need one computer.
One computer is going to gowith me and you know that
because I have access,everything's in cloud and all
that stuff.
So you know, burn them all, Istill got access.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
But you know, it's crazy though, you go through
this thing, like I was tellingyou I was feeling a certain way,
and then you look at thesepeople's lives, this whole area,
40,000 acres decimated,completely, completely gone.
I mean, the only thing that wasstanding were, uh, were
chimneys.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, I mean just to watch the news and stuff it's
heart-wrenching you to, to hearall the uh stories and stuff
about it.
Did you see that one guy thathad, like he was in the
neighborhood where his house isthe only house standing?
Did you see that one?
Yeah, I, I did it, I did.
He was showing you know, likehere's this house, it's burned
his house, nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I know there's a miracle, there's miracles like
that but then you look in thestreet and the cars are melted.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, I mean just everything was just like totally
nothing.
The other part about this thingtoo that, the other part about
this thing too that like pissesme off is that the people that
are looting and all that crap,you know like people that are.
I hate when people are tryingto take advantage of a bad
situation and that's always.
We've got the scammers andstuff out there.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You've got to be the lowest scumbag part of the earth
, that when people are down thatyou go steal from them.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you are nothing but a complete
dirt bag.
Yeah, man, you know what?
Unfortunately, we live aroundall of those type of people.
I mean, they're in the world,they're out there because, you
know hell, my phone's ringingall the time with stupid scam
stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, but you know, when you're a scumbag like that
and you take advantage of aperson like that, trust me,
especially in a fire situation,get used to the heat, because
you sure in the hell going tosomewhere, to where it's going
to be hot on a regular basis.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, I was thinking about this, like in other
countries like United States.
It's kind of like I waslistening to news and how they
were like we're going to throwthe book at you If you do this,
we're gonna, you know, we'regonna incarcerate you.
We're gonna, you know, you know, do everything to the fullest
of extending the law and allthis stuff.
You know.
Now take this same situation,put it into a foreign country
you're dead, they just shot,yeah, just shot you right there,
(09:15):
just shot, you've been layingin the rubble like they're lucky
they're here in this countrybecause, um, we go easy on
people like this where you knowI mean, there's thieves.
Back in the history of a time,what did they normally do with
thieves, no matter where youwere in the world?
Like chop off their hands.
Stuff like that, those type ofpunishments I mean to a certain
(09:40):
extent, is like man.
I hate to say that I would liketo see some of it back, but I
mean at the same time it'sbrutal, but at the same time I'm
thinking, you know, thecountry's gotten to a point
where it's like they've takenadvantage of every loophole they
could take.
We're like we're a loopholenation.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
There was one family.
They had posted a sign on theoutside of their house and it
was perfect.
It said looters, beware, we'reactually home and you've been
warned.
Yeah, so definitely you'regoing to get your ass shot if
you come inside.
Yeah, you know, like I said,that's the biggest scum of the
earth.
Are those people?
Do you know, sean?
The intensity of that flame isincredible.
(10:20):
You know, a few years back Ihad some pine trees that had
died and I piled these on top ofeach other.
They have a big burning pit inthe back.
I was watching a video and theyshowed one of the spiral flames
.
The intensity of those flames,yeah, from the wind, it's
absolutely incredible.
Like I said, I had like 20pines when I set this up.
(10:42):
It was the most intense 12 to15 seconds I've ever seen, I
mean, and I was clear,everything was safe.
I mean, I was in a burning pitand everything, and the flame
was going straight up, but itraged.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, I mean the intensity of like kindling wood
and you know dry woods in theforest and stuff and the things
that you know the foresters likethey go in and they get that
dry brush and they like policeit up.
You know the fallen trees andall that stuff try to keep it
down to.
You know low, uh, low.
(11:20):
You know level um is superimportant.
You know people don't realizethat we need to.
Also, the forests are beautifulto see and all that stuff, but
there's also some maintenancerequired for for us to have them
you know and people, justbecause they're there, it
doesn't mean that you shouldn'tbe trying to take care of them,
especially when they're close topopulated areas.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You know, the other thing I hate too is that there
was like a group of people thatyou know they.
They're like oh it's California, oh it's, it's a rich or it's
this.
You know how could you eventhink about that?
This, it doesn't matter.
Those people lost their lives,their homes yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I don't even, um, like that whole entire topic of,
like you know, I've seen somebrutally terrible stuff out
there.
You know, politically speaking,and all this stuff, you know,
oh, you know, they're a bunch ofliberals, they, they got what's
coming to them, things that youknow like just awful statements
, that, uh, it really shouldn'tmatter.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
These are all humans, you know but then you see, then
you also see the good side ofhumanity, right, there's so many
people that stepped up andstarted helping all these people
.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, the small businesses out there.
I mean, I love those storiesabout like they've opened the
doors to try to take care of thepeople out there and make their
facilities welcome to likewhatever they can do, whether
that's just space to put uptents, space to, you know, get
supplies, have water drops, allthese different types of things.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Jay Leno was down there serving the firefighters,
that was actually pretty cool.
Yeah, and then even I noticedonline he had flight attendants
that were donating things ortaking donations for families
that lost everything.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, this whole thing is so tragic but at the
same time, like I do understand,like people, um, you know, we
this is so pronounced right nowin the news, like everybody,
everything that's right is aboutthe fires right now, but I feel
like people always forget aboutthe last tragedy, tragedy that
we had.
(13:10):
I mean, the Carolinas right noware suffering, there's still
people in tents, there's stillpeople out there that need help
and, you know, the focus now hasgone totally to the West Coast.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Well, it becomes accountability right.
I mean, now we're at the stage.
I mean the fires.
Well, they're still burning,but now it becomes
accountability, right.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I mean, you know that's that's the important
thing with putting in the rightgovernment and the right leaders
, and to make sure that you knowthey're taking care of the
people in their area and allthat stuff.
So, yeah, it's bad man.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And we said we don't get.
You know, don't like gettingpolitical on our podcast, but
listen, keep the damn money inthe United States.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I mean until our people are good.
Our people, I mean no one'shungry.
They have homes, they're notburned out of their homes,
they're not flooded out of theirhomes.
Keep the damn money in ourcountry and stop sending our
money everywhere else but in theUnited States.
Take care of our own people.
Yeah well, I think that's goingto stop here soon I hope the
(14:14):
Lord above it does, because youknow something I'm tired of
seeing our people suffer.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, I mean we really need to take care of our
own and all these specialinterests stuff to me is a
that's a whole other subject.
Let's not go political rightnow, but anyways, what else has
been going on?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well, you know, I was looking at these pictures the
other day.
Now this is completely awayfrom what we were talking about,
but it was some really funnypictures and I thought to myself
do you remember your first date, my first date?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, first date you ever had Dude.
So with that question you needto qualify it First date, like I
had a date.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Then, then you drove, let's say, when you, when you
had, because I had like puppylove.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You know?
Fourth grade you know, you wentover to my you know, went over
to the girl's house, brought ateddy bear with me, you know, no
, when you drove.
So when I drove first date,yeah, yeah, I remember my, I
mean all right, give me a littleshort thing of it.
So this is interesting scenebecause, uh, you know, you're
(15:15):
quantifying this thing through,like when you first drove, right
?
So I grew up as a military bratand I was in Italy, and so you
can't drive in Italy untilyou're 21.
Really, yeah, I didn't know so.
So, like you know, drivingwasn't a thing over there, like
we none of us had drive If allof us had, like mopeds or
motorcycles or something likethat that we drove around on but
(15:37):
you can drive over there untilyou're 21.
So it wasn't a thing like that.
Like my first date there, likeyou know we we jumped on a train
, we headed over to Venice, wehad dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That was your first See.
I knew it wasn't going to benormal.
I knew it.
It just was not going to benormal.
Dude, Right, there's nothinglike mine.
I mean I'm sitting here, goingreally.
I mean that's unbelievable,that's nothing like mine.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Right, right right.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
But these are the privileges of being a military
brat.
It's bad that you're runningaround all over the world and
you don't have this.
Military brats are one of ourthings.
We don't have any place to callhome.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I thought something was going to be good with this
and you just come up with that.
I'm sitting here thinking ofmine here.
Okay, I got to tell you.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Let me tell you about your little silly one.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
All right.
So I'm bewildered with yours.
So mine was.
I had an old brown stationwagon that was my parents.
All right, okay.
And so if we wanted to go on adate we had to drive the brown
station wagon.
So real quick went over to herhouse.
I went to pick her up, I wentoutside.
The parents were all out thereand they were looking outside,
(16:58):
so I went to get in the car.
She's sitting next to me, she'ssmiling.
I went to turn the ignition andit didn't start.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh no, dude, that's the worst, right the?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
dad had to come out and jump my car.
Oh no, I thought, well, if Ibring her home late, you know
why.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Right, at least you got a sumptuous excuse, right,
well?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
the reason why I brought this up, really because
I was looking at these picturesand years ago, in this little
quote that they had and itshowed this picture of this
young girl and she was in littlejean shorts that were cut off
jeans and she had a crop topthat was cut off a shirt and it
(17:44):
said this is now someone'sgrandma and I thought this was
what we looked at years ago andwe were.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That was hot.
Yeah, man, the daisy duke.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Days like you know nothing, nothing.
They all they had was cut jeans, a crop top shirt and this
blonde flowing hair, dark hair,whatever it was like like daisy
duke and uh, um, what is it?
Uh, dukes of hazard but noweverybody's got it.
They have to spend all thismoney for what?
Yeah I was thinking.
I was thinking that's not we.
(18:07):
We were looking at that withnothing, just just the, just the
little jeans and top.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, nowadays it has to be like it has to have
Versace gas, it has to have sometype of designer on there.
I don't want to date myselfwith calling out names here, but
whatever has your Louis Vuittonbag, whatever, that's the
generation today.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I absolutely love those pics though, Sean, because
it showed that girl, and thenit had this other one like the
70s into the 80s, so they hadthe hip hugger jeans and then
the little bikini top.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Right.
So a lot of that stuff's comingback.
Man Depends on where you are inthe United States, because I
mean, if you're in certainclimates, for that stuff I mean
you go down south you're goingto see some Daisy Dukes running
around.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah, well, the only difference is that you're paying
about $150 for those and theyjust cut them off because they
were all torn up.
That was the difference.
And what we called sexy wasthat girl standing next to a GTO
, a 67 GTO or a 66 Mustang.
I mean, that's what weconsidered sexy.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, now, now you get the same girl, you get a.
They're designer wear andthey're sitting next to a
freaking uh fake, eyelashes fakenails, lamborghini, fake
everything, everything's sexy.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
But it's true, just there's nothing real yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
It's nothing real yeah it's all fake it is all
fake, but you know, you knowthat whole thing, this whole
subject like reminds me of Ilove watching those uh, you know
, uh the tiktok.
Or you know instagram videos ofthe you know gold diggers.
Yeah, I mean like.
So you get these gals andthey're all like whatever
they're wearing for that day andand the dude's like you know
(19:55):
tricking them to, you know he'shomeless or something like that,
and then he like walks over andjumps in his Lamborghini and
then they want to talk to himand stuff you know like girls
(20:15):
any day of the week, because anygirl and this goes for just
today if you can rock a pair ofjeans and a t-shirt, you can
wear anything, I don't care whatit is.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
If you can do that as a woman a pair of jeans,
t-shirts you don't have to spenda lot of money.
Hell, you can get that for shitfrom Walmart.
But you know, if you can dothat, that's it right there.
You don't need all that money.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Dude, you don't have to be a Victoria's secret girl.
It's kind of like a what's hername?
It has a Victoria's secret song.
You know, like themanufacturers are producing all
this stuff, like they're they'rein these young women's heads
and boys and they're they'reproducing these.
You know, this is what, this iswhat's good looking, this is
what's sexy, this is all thisstuff, but it's just a bunch of
(20:53):
bullshit really.
I mean, my favorite thing issimple, like I want L natural.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Less is better.
I sent you the picture.
What did you think?
Yeah, less is better, man.
I told you she blue jeans, cropshirt, long blonde hair, and it
was simplicity, but, man, shewas beautiful.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, yeah, I just don't.
I'm not.
I'm not one of these like yougot to have all this makeup on
and all this stuff and cover upall your like.
I want to see your freckles.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
You don't need.
You don't need all this.
You don't need those giraffeeyelashes.
No, no, giraffe.
Those are the ugliest damnthings.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I'm sorry, now we're getting into a subject that I
get, like it's like I have, likeI cannot.
I cringe when I see this.
First of all, I don't like justas much as I don't like feet,
I'm finding out that I don'tlike long nails.
Like, how do you feel aboutlong nails?
I'm right there with you.
(21:54):
I told you when I sent you thatpicture that's exactly what I
think is sexy simplicity.
Yeah, like, the longer thenails, the like, the more I will
get a gag reflex.
Like it's just nasty.
And uh, I just do not like longfingernails whatsoever.
I mean moderate, like you cantake care of you, you can paint
them, you get all this stuff.
They could be nice moderatelength to your hand, but when
they start getting longer than,like you know, inch or two, like
I'm like but now you got those.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
You got even those videos that show that before and
after these, these women thathave gotten so good at makeup,
then all of a sudden shit, they,they don't look anything like
they.
Yeah, they look nothing likethey really do absolutely
nothing like they did.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
That's pretty freaking scary that's one of
those, one of those videos whereyou should be like.
You know you go out and youmeet this girl.
In the video you wake up in themorning, roll over.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'll tell you a thousand times, I'll go back to
our time any time of the year,because it was all natural, it
was simple, man.
Yeah, if you can rock simple,you can rock anything.
All right, listen, let's go.
Let's start talking about someairline stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, what's going on in the airlines these days?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Well, you know, there has been a big issue about,
like they are talking aboutlithium batteries.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, man, those damn things are dangerous.
People don't realize howdangerous they are.
They're like um, you just haveto be cautious with them.
There's a reason why theairlines are always making rules
and stuff about the lithiumbatteries.
Like you have to, you have tobring them on with you, they
have to be on in your control.
Um, they can't be checked inyour baggage, all that type of
stuff.
So you know they're, they'renasty, but what's up?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
so this, this rule hasn't been in place since 2010.
But a lot of people they getmad because of their check bags.
They had lithium batteries init and sometimes they've had to
pull them to remove thebatteries and sometimes they
have to go without their luggagebecause they had a battery or
something in their bag.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, those smart bags, yeah, real smart ones.
Yeah, those smart bags, yeah,the real smart ones.
Yeah, those smart bags thathave the lithium batteries
implanted into the bag and stufflike that, so you can charge
your phone, and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
So I just wanted to give people a reason of why they
don't allow lithium batteriesin the check luggage anymore.
This flight happened.
It was 22 minutes in flight andthey received a fire warning
from the main deck.
There was smoke in the cockpitand they declared an emergency.
This is the reason why theydon't have these on the
(24:22):
airplanes anymore.
The captain's oxygen maskfailed, leading to his
incapacitation, and the firstofficer had to assume control.
Incapacitation and the firstofficer had to assume control
and shortly after that, theaircraft it actually plummeted
and it crashed into anunpopulated area.
But the reason what they foundout was they in the cargo part
(24:45):
of this thing, they had 81,000lithium batteries.
What?
81,000 on a pallet?
No, that's Never knew that.
Now we learned this.
The reason why's never knewthat we now we learned this.
The reason why I was sayingthis?
Because we learned this intraining all the time about
lithium yeah, but I don't knowhow the carrier even allowed
that.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Like there's a certain amount of restriction.
I don't know what the number is, but there's a restriction of
like the volume of how manybatteries and stuff you can be
different countries though yeah,different country.
Yeah, it's true, differentcountries, different country
cargos right.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Because they had other combustible materials that
was inside the cargo unit too,but they had 81,000 lithium
batteries and it was a completerunaway of a fire inside the
belly of the aircraft.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, if you have never ever seen a battery
runaway fire, like a lithiumbattery runaway fire, google
that shit.
I mean you're're gonna besurprised, you're gonna see how
fast, like a laptop, like suchsets on fires, the ones that, uh
, you know those air purifiersthat were like the big things
back in the day here where theyeverybody hung around those then
(25:46):
, oh yeah, neck and stuff yeah,so they get on the plane and
they have these little airpurifiers and it would be, you
know, blowing purified air up intheir face like a little bug
zapper around your neckyeah, yeah, well, the airlines
out did out, you know, loggedall those things, because those
things, if google it and you'llsee people's like chest setting
on fire, you know, from thesefreaking little lithium battery,
(26:08):
uh, air purifiers.
But yeah, lithium batteries arenot to be messed around with.
I mean, people don't realizehow fast they can do it, but
when they see it, or they everhave seen it, then they'll
understand.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Like it's part of our uh, it's part of our flight
incentive training.
But listen folks, just realquick, uh, lithium batteries,
just don't, don't put them inyour check bags at all.
Really, just don't bring them.
Actually, I mean, that'd be thebest thing.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Well, I mean you can't help from bringing lithium
batteries because you got your.
They're in your laptops or inyour phones and all this stuff,
but they need to be just withyou so you can monitor it.
That's the whole point.
You have to be in yourpossession, you know, within
your arm, you know reach, beable to deal with anything that
does happen, because thesecomputers and stuff, man, it can
happen.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Bad situation, bad All the way around.
And another bad situation Seanthe flight attendant was killed
in Denver.
She's on a layover.
It really really was sad.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That was mind-blowing man.
I'm like thinking, you know,safety is like our number one
thing.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
We talked about that in the cities.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, I mean when you're in the cities and stuff
and like we talked about that inthe cities.
Yeah, I mean when you're in thecities and stuff and like we
talked about this in previousepisodes, like we, you know, you
need to be cautious.
When you're like in the um,when you're in hotels, you know,
never think you're in a safespace.
That's if you start from there.
If you just like when you're,when you're out and you're about
, and you think I'm never in asafe space, you know, know, then
(27:32):
then you're, you know you're,you're on alert.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You need to keep yourself on awareness at all.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Have that situational awareness and the stuff I got
this like a crazy story Likethis happened to me back in the
day and we were on a layover.
It was in Columbus, ohio, andwe decided we're going to go
down to there's a.
There's a really cool area inColumbus called Germantown and
we were in down to a bar, alittle place that got something
to eat and the whole crew.
It was about maybe um three,four blocks away from our hotel,
(28:02):
so it wasn't a big deal.
But and Columbus, if you'veever been there, it's pretty,
you know Midwestern town, nottoo crazy, you know all that
stuff.
So, uh, we, we all walked downand went to the bar and
everything.
And we were sitting down theredrinking, eating, and one of the
gals decided that she's goingto walk back to the hotel and
she was like I'm done, I'm goingback to the hotel.
I was like you know, I'll, I'll, I'll walk you back.
And she's like no, no, no, no,no, need, you know, I'll be,
(28:23):
I'll be fine.
And I was the lead flightattendant at that time and so I
was like dang, you know, this isnot good.
She should be walking around inthe middle of a city by herself
.
So I kind of like hightailed itall the way back to the hotel,
(28:43):
like four or five blocks.
I get to the hotel, she'swalking into the hotel.
I walk into the hotel and I'mlike you know you could have
asked.
You know it's not smart to bewalking by yourself as a female
in the city the whole nine yards.
It doesn't matter female ormale, it doesn't matter, you
shouldn't be by yourself.
And um, and she was new and allthis stuff, she's like oh, you
know, I'm okay.
(29:03):
I'm like all right, cool, I'llsee you tomorrow.
Next morning we wake up, getdown to the van.
You know the whole drill.
We're all in the van, everybodycomes in.
She comes walking in and she'slike you're not going to believe
what happened last night.
I'm like what do you mean?
I said I saw you at the hoteland you jumped in the elevator.
(29:23):
She goes yeah, when you left me, I stepped in the elevator.
When I stepped in the elevator,there was another guy in the
elevator Mugged her.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
You never go to your room when somebody walks off the
.
You just get back in the damnelevator.
Let him go.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, I mean it was, it was, it was, it was terrible.
So she was up all night withthe police and all that stuff it
was.
You just never know, man, yougot to stay on high alert in
these situations.
But that flight attendant inDenver, man, I just feel for her
family everybody 36 years offlying and she was just on a
layover.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I mean prayers go out to her, her family, her friends
.
Just a sad situation.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Wrong place at the wrong time.
I mean just like ugh.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Another sad situation , really, but this one is
controllable.
There was a pilot that wasarrested for a DUI.
Tried to operate the commercialairplane.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Come on man.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
No, no, I just did.
I mean, whenever I see this, Imean I'm completely in disbelief
because it takes a lot to be apilot.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Well, yeah, it takes a lot to be a pilot, and I mean
I just to imagine or even fathomthe thought of people willing
to put their job on the line.
You know, knowing, because allof us had training and there's
nobody excluded from training weknow the consequences, like
that's ingrained to us, but toget to have a problem that is
(30:50):
going to be to the level thatyou're going to put your job on
the line.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
If it's a problem, that's one thing too.
So if it's a problem, that'sone thing too.
But even if you say that it's amistake, a mistake, that's the
dumbest mistake you ever made inyour life.
Yeah, it doesn't even make anysense, but it just.
I mean, every time I see thatit just really bugs me, because
I've known so many of the pilotsover the years and that is just
(31:18):
plain stupidity.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah, it's so rare man nowadays.
It's so rare because of all thetraining and the education that
we get for, um, you know, umillegal contraband and drugs and
narcotics and all that stuff.
And you know all of our rulesthat are involved with the
airlines.
It doesn't matter what airlineyou're with and where in the
world.
We all have our differentlevels of rules that we have to
(31:40):
abide by.
But, um, you know, all of usfly.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
We know so you know, we talk about this every single
week with, with the airlines, um, and it's, it's like I said,
it's almost like blotters,because there's so much that
happens every single week.
On the, on the 8th, a 737collided with a Dreamliner.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Really, yeah, a stationary Dreamliner.
Yeah, so where'd they collide?
What hit?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
what I believe it hit the wings.
The wings hit each other, andwhat happened is they ended up
both canceling, but theDreamliner was stationary.
The 737-800 was actually moving.
That's a huge cost.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Dude.
Any of those incursions likethat are just super.
They cost a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, Another bird strike too, January 5th.
Grounded in an Airbus.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
You know, bird strikes are one of the things
that happen in airline thatprobably it'd be interesting to
see, like how many bird strikeshappen on a daily basis, because
they get reported but like it'svery rare when they make the
news because they're just socommon.
I mean, like I heard my wifethe other day.
She flew down to Florida andlike going down she hit one and
(33:01):
coming back she hit one.
But it was like you know, it'sjust like a normal routine,
right, right, you know, I mean,until it like actually does
something or it's going to takeout an engine or cause a fire or
something like that, then it'snot going to make the news
because it's burger strikes arehappening all the time.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
But, like we said before, it's kind of ironic.
I mean, when we talk aboutthese things, it's every single
week, right?
I mean there's all kinds ofcrazy crap, like this UFC
fighter that was removed fromthe aircraft in the emergency
exit row.
Did you see that?
No, what happened?
So I mean there's a lot to it,but he was in the emergency exit
(33:44):
row.
We don't know the situation.
I'm not going to sit there andsay yes or no.
Supposedly they had asked him afew times and he didn't respond
.
And then when he did respond Iguess that you know he had told
him he said, yeah, I can dowhatever it is that you need,
and they removed him off theaircraft.
But I guess prior when theyfirst asked him, it was like two
(34:06):
or three times and then hedidn't respond.
So then they took him off theaircraft, put him on another
plane.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, that's one of the rules in the US that if
you're in X-ray, you're're goingto have to one acknowledge the
crew, because we're going to allthey're supposed to give you a
briefing and you're sitting byan exit where we're going to
might need some assistance.
So I mean, if you're going tonot acknowledge us, there's an
issue.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
We have those a lot of times too.
We have those passengers thatthat you know, they, they, they
don't acknowledge you.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, they're having a bad day or whatever the
situation is.
I mean, you know, come on.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
It's just flight attendants doing their job.
I mean, you know that's it.
Trust me, we don't want to goto the exit row and ask
everybody that question anyway,but we're required to do it.
I mean, so you know, if you'resitting in the exit row, just
respond.
It's a simple thing to do andthen we don't have to see this
in the news again.
Like I said, I have no ideaexactly what happened in this,
(35:05):
but, um, the guy was removed,yeah crazy did you see the
picture I sent you this pictureabout?
we were talking about the, theguys that go up in the wheel.
Well, did you see?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
that picture.
I sent more wheel, well stuff.
Yeah, I saw the picture.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I just had to send you a picture because it was so.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
We were wondering about the space of you know,
because we talked about theseguys that stowed away in the
wheel wells yeah, they'reshowing the guy that was like
he's kind of like crunched upinto the space sitting in the
wheel, well, and you're like,wow, I mean, yeah, I, I wish I
wish it was like, uh, you hadlike somebody could actually
like retract the wheel and putthe person in there and take the
(35:41):
picture you know like toactually see, because this is a
wheel, obviously it's extendeddown, it's on, you know, the
planes on the tarmac, whatever,but they're up in the wheel area
and they take that picture orwhatever.
But I'd like to see what itreally looks like inside that
picture.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Well, they had the guy and he was in the video that
I'd watched.
He'd showed how he had to like,lay forward, put your elbows in
, keep your, keep your legs in,because when the wheels come up
they're locked in, he said.
But when they fall, they freefall and he goes.
You better hope that your legsnot right there when that that
thing free falls, because you'regoing to get hurt really bad.
Yeah, you're not going to be inthe aircraft anymore.
(36:19):
No, but he had talked about it.
It was amazing we had saidabout people that didn't make it
, but he was talking about a13-year-old kid that did yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
I mean, if you look in history and Google this stuff
, there are people that havesurvived this stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
More survivals back in the day versus today, but I
mean but me and Sean talkedabout uh, there are three for
three.
That didn't make it.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
It's so much better.
Don't buy a ticket.
Do it $39, $39 on a uh low costcarrier.
Yeah, just just just take theticket.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
There's so many airlines out there, you can
actually go out, do your littletrabago or whatever you want to
search online.
If you're willing to connect todifferent cities and bounce
around and all kinds of stuff,you can find things that are a
week, two weeks out.
That's nothing, come on.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
That's what I was saying, the $39 that you can go
inside the plane.
But hey, you know every we'regoing to get to, uh, our
destination, but uh, you know wealways talk about food, so I
thought it'd be kind of fun,since we have a lot of people
that that are pet owners and dogowners and uh, so I had to
throw Gemma's little food inhere for a minute.
Gemma's food.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Gemma's food.
What's Gemma's bite?
Spoonful of what?
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Well, you know, when we took her to the vet they said
that put her on all naturalfoods.
So we did a little bit ofresearch.
Have you ever heard of?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
farmer's dog.
Dude, I was just about to sayfarmer's dog is a shit.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
It's crazy.
I mean, it's absolutely crazy.
So her food comes with her nameon it.
It's absolutely crazy.
Her food comes with her name onit.
It's prepackaged.
It's exactly how much food thatwe should give her.
I think it's like $2.30 a dayto feed her.
It's all natural food.
(38:14):
You have chicken, beef, turkeyI'm going to try to probably
have Sean just post a picture ofit on our site and so we
purchased a month full ofGemma's food and, like I said,
you know, it's amazing how thatlittle dog just stands there.
(38:35):
She's waiting for this likecrazy.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Dude.
So here's it.
I'm going to give you a littlestory here.
So, um, a little history.
So my wife's family is in thehas been associated with the pet
industry her entire life didyou know that?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
carriers right, yeah, yeah they had.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
They had a carrier cage uh company.
So they built, uh, her father'svery uh entrepreneurial he got
into this uh business, wastrying to, you know, looking for
the next thing, and end up,when they bought it, like a uh
trash bin, uh, that they wereburning trash.
You know, uh, back in the day,you put it into like this wire
(39:17):
basket, whatever, and they burntheir trash.
You know when people did thatback in the day and anyways,
people were buying these thingsand it all turned into a
business and they were using itinstead of burning trash.
They were using it for dogcages and this is like oh, I'm
talking, this is back in likeeighties, you know, and so she's
, she's to get into the storyhere.
(39:38):
They're very involved in thepet business and all that stuff
and they really, you know,they've been integral and on on
in all that all that front andstuff.
But pet food is awful in theindustry.
Like, I mean, all thesecompanies out there that we've
like grown up with Purina andall these different like uh, you
know I can't name all thecompanies up Purina is the big
(40:00):
one.
Like you know, I can't name allthe companies, purina is the
big one.
Right, that everybody kind ofknows about.
But here's a little story fromthis actually local neighborhood
.
Purina decided that we used to.
This area used to be a bigalpaca farm area.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, like you drive anywherearound this county, yep, I know
You'd see alpacas everywhere.
(40:20):
Have you seen that there's noalpacas?
Nope, Like you don't seealpacas anymore right?
Speaker 2 (40:25):
No, you don't see them at all.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Well, guess why?
Well, this happened like about20 years ago.
Purina decided they were goingto get into alpaca food, all
right.
And they decided they weregoing to like hey, we're going
to send free product to allthese alpaca farmers.
Well, they did that.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
They send out all this product killed them all.
Horrible.
I mean that is absolutelyhorrible.
I mean you're laughing?
No, I'm not.
I mean it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
I mean it's horrible.
Yeah, the pet food industry andthe shit that they put in the
pet food is like, yeah, you'rethinking like why.
You know they all.
You know these are companies,you know professional companies.
They should be doing.
You know, taking doing the bestthing Isn't to this, like right
now.
And when I talk about this,you're talking about farmer's
dog.
You know what's it called,farmer's?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
dog.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, farmer's dog.
It's like it took all this timefor them to finally say you
know what, Enough's enough.
Quit giving all those crap,scraps and all this stuff
byproducts that we don't want ashumans, and giving it to our
pets, you know?
Now they're finally saying youknow what they want real food,
just like we want real food.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
You know what?
Gemma is sure in hell wantsreal food because she sits there
and she jumps up and down likecrazy whenever, uh, whenever, I
get it.
But, um, let me tell yousomething, for if you have a
small dog, I'd say, yeah,farmer's dog, a hundred percent,
yeah.
If you have a big dog, I meanthat's going to be your
(41:56):
retirement money.
It might put you out of it.
It's not cheap, man.
I mean that, that big dog onepacket, he's going to look at it
, he's going to pop his chopsand it'll be like three times a
day.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, I'm like oh hell, no, there's a certain
demographic of dogs that this isgood for right.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
I could not even imagine giving a Great Dane.
Great Dane would probably justeat Gemma's food for the month.
They'd eat Gemma too, that'strue, but hey, listen, farmer's
dog, give it a shot.
I'm going to actually try tomake a version of farmer's dog
because I've seen it online,because I just wanted to see,
like a comparison, how muchcould I make compared to what
(42:31):
they make.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
Oh yeah, yeah, Like kind of cost it out, Like you
know.
Hey, here I'm going to make allthese same products and stuff.
You know, somebody's going toalways do that.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Yeah, meal prep for my kids.
I might as well meal prep forthe dog.
Heck, yeah, I'm going to giveit a shot, but anyway, let's go
to the destination.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Destination man, as we talked about last week.
We talked about how Omaha,there's such a good destination.
(43:10):
Omaha's our destination.
Omaha, nebraska.
I'm telling you right now, likewe were telling you, I went to
school there, university ofNebraska, omaha.
It's right down on themiddlearks here and Omaha has
always been the home of theCollege World.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Series Right.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Yep.
So right now, the stadium thatstands there is the Charles
Schwab Field in Omaha.
And I'm telling you right now,I mean it's an experience, have
you been there?
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah, absolutely yeah .
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Yeah, I mean, that stadium is like a really, really
nice stadium, I mean for for acollege, um baseball stadium.
You're gonna be like soimpressed.
But uh, if you ever get achance to do that, it's right
outside the airport.
There it's like just a fewmiles down the street from the
airport.
You, you gotta almost pass iton the way into the city unless
you jump on a highway, butanyways, yeah.
So the other thing that is duein Omaha is there's an area
(44:05):
called the Old Market.
Old Market has been thereforever and it's just like maybe
a four block square radius, butit has all these cool shops and
all this stuff and I was kindof like looking at it today, you
know because I haven't been toOmaha for a minute, but there
was some of my favorite places.
You know because I haven't beento Omaha for a minute, but
there was some of my favoriteplaces, and one of the places
that I absolutely like lovedwhen I was, you know, coming up
in college was this littleMexican Tex-Mex place.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
I was going to say we're going to food.
Yeah, we're going to food, man.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
We're going to food.
I used to like literally gothere and study at this like
restaurant called Julio's rightand, and it was right outside,
like right in the end of the oldmarket, and it's closed down,
Not there anymore.
I was like no, no, you can't.
Julio's is the.
They made their own chips, theymade their own, they fried
(44:51):
their own chips and all thisstuff.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
That's probably why they're out of business.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Dude, no, it was so good.
I have no idea I need toresearch into this, but

But um, the other things thatare there, that are that have
been there forever, is, oldmarket has a spaghetti works
there, they have a omaha umcandy company there and they
also have this um famous uhrecord store, homer's records.
(45:14):
Have you ever heard of that?
Nope, homer's records is likethe.
The old market used to have likejust all kinds of like eclectic
shops and stuff like that.
You can go in there like theyused to.
They used to have and theymight still have it um a shop
where, literally, you'd walkthrough the door and every
single toy that you had everseen as a kid I don't care how
(45:34):
old you are, how young you are,they had all the different eras
of people and toys and stuff.
You walk through the store andyou're going to see stuff that
you're like wow, I remember thatwhen I was like five.
You know like it wasunbelievable some of the old
stuff that's in there, but it'sa really cool area to like see
all this neat stuff and they'rereally uh big on having record
stores and records are makingtheir play coming back right now
(45:55):
.
I didn't know.
I don't know if you know that Ican't, I honestly I can't even
imagine records coming back yeah, man, they're like a big deal
right now, like lps are like thething right now a lot of all
these younger generations orthey want one lps.
I have a nephew right now.
He's out in indiana and shoutout to cameron.
But um, he, he is like intothat, he wants to listen to them
(46:17):
, he wants to hear that scratchand pop and all that stuff.
Like us, us growing up as kids,it was like we were like the
needle run across the record.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like, yeah,we'd like float across the
record.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
We'd have to put like a nickel on top of the needles
keep it weighted down and thingslike that, or a penny or tape
right.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
We do all kinds of wild things just to like get our
music right and we always wantto hear it as clean as possible.
Without you know, we'd have toclean our records and stuff, get
all the dust and dirt, all that, keep it from popping and
cracking.
But they like all that stuff,but they're making, it's making
a comeback and they're liketaylor just put out a her, her,
every album she puts out, orevery um you know lp or whatever
(46:55):
she puts out, and it's pressedin a original lp.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
Now you know it's funny.
You just said I just remembered, uh, do you remember molly
hatchet flirting with thedisaster?
Speaker 1 (47:04):
yeah, that, I just remember that one playing that
one, that that record, oh yeah,like just I just turn it up the
whole record, of the wholerecord, like, um, you know the
persona of it and the whole.
You know the feel of putting arecord on a turntable and
putting needle on it and allthat's all that stuff, man, it
(47:25):
just like it's nostalgic for usbut that thing is coming back
and so, anyways, the old mark isa really cool place.
But not only do they have theuniversity of Nebraska there,
they also have Creightonuniversity.
So you know Creighton, right?
Yeah, yeah, I mean bigbasketball, creighton, creighton
University.
So you know Creighton, right,yeah, yeah, I mean big
basketball, creighton, creighton.
Creighton has a really coolfacility.
That down right downtown Omaha.
(47:47):
The other thing that's reallycool is that Omaha is separated
right on the border of the mostyou know, it's the most Eastern
border of Nebraska and it'sbordered by the Missouri River.
Well, across the river is acity called Council Bluffs, and
Council Bluffs has to bementioned in this whole thing
because when you are on alayover in Omaha you can walk
(48:10):
across.
They made a bridge, it's apedestrian bridge called the Bob
Carey Pedestrian Bridge, andBob Carey is an old, a old
center, somebody you know,governor, whatever.
Anyways, you can walk acrossthis bridge over to council
bluffs.
But council bluffs in thehistory that I've always been
there has been like the sin cityside of things, like over in
(48:33):
council bluffs they got all thebars and stuff.
Is that where we're at?
What's that?
Speaker 2 (48:37):
yeah, we've been there that's where you took me,
wasn't?
Speaker 1 (48:43):
it.
So, anyways, like so in today'sworld right now.
You go over there, you walkacross the bridge, along the
whole edge of the river.
There's nothing but casinos,really.
So there's casinos, there'sbars, food, all that stuff.
Um, back when I was a youngairman and I was based in Omaha,
nebraska Air Force Base.
(49:04):
There it was before the age of21 turned in the United States,
where all the states turned to21.
There wasn't time.
We're showing our age here now.
There was a time when, incertain states, you can go out
drinking if you were 19, right,we?
Speaker 2 (49:22):
show our age all the time.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
We do that all the time the 3-2 beer days, right?
Well, you'd have to go over toCouncil Bluffs to get the 3-2
beers bars.
So it's always been relatedthat this is the sin side of the
go to Iowa.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
We're so old I remember Little King's three for
a dollar.
Oh yeah, yeah I did that's.
That's how old we are.
When beer, when you get threebeers for a dollar, you're old
yeah, but omaha is just a reallycool.
Speaker 1 (49:49):
Uh has all kinds of stuff.
You know all the you knowtypical things on theaters, arts
, all that stuff that they offerthere.
Omaha used to be the per capita.
You had more restaurants percapita for the amount of people
they had there than Omaha usedto be a per capita.
You had more restaurants percapita for the amount of people
they had there than anywhere inthe United States.
Like there was just so manyrestaurants there, um, but big
beef like they get the cattleyards there and all that stuff,
so you can smell the cattleyards there.
(50:12):
So big beef cruncher there inOmaha, but anyways, not a vegan
place.
You can if you want to be thatperson, but uh, yeah, Omaha,
Cool, Check it out.

I have like a 57-acre lakebehind my house and it's been

Speaker 2 (01:11):
I feel like my house is sitting right in front of a
wind tunnel.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Oh man, everywhere is a wind tunnel here, like the
drifts and stuff from the snowand stuff like it's been snowing
here for like last couple daysand stuff just like kind of like
a fine mist snow.
You don't even want to gooutside.
Yeah, you don't want to gooutside, you just want to stay

It took a lot for me to gethere.

It's a slow roll with the earproblem.
You got to have this like justpatience of just you know.
Let the body heal itself right.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Antibiotics yeah, I'm still taking antibiotics.
I think I got like anotherthree, three days are you still
feeling like the pressure on it?
No, it's, it's getting a littlebit better, but I noticed this
morning everything was draining,so I mean it was uh, everything
was.
It was a lot better thismorning, but we'll see.
I mean it just takes time andand like we said before, I won't
(02:20):
get back on a plane till I knowmy air is good.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Right, right, that's smart.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Be smart.
Yeah, you know um one thing.
Uh, you remember last week whenI was telling you about the car
accident?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Yeah, it was crazy.
I noticed that happy time inyour life.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
It's still really getting to me, I mean really
really bugging me, but, um, I'mgetting through it.
But what I noticed something isis that when I was getting back
in the car, I felt kind offunny.
Yeah, and have you been in acar accident before?
Oh yeah, now did you ever feelfunny?
Were you driving?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
So my car accidents have been.
I've been rear ended a fewtimes and I rear ended somebody
one time time, okay.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
So when you, when you actually did it, did you feel
funny, like getting back in thecar.
No see, it was really weirdbecause, like I told you before,
um never even had a parkingticket.
So, uh, when I started gettingback in the car and started
driving, I started feeling alittle bit funny, apprehensive.
I'm like what the hell is this?
(03:26):
oh, like your cautious level,just like yeah, yeah, it came up
, you know right yeah, no, Ialways pride myself on, on, on
uh being a careful driver, butman, this really felt weird.
Yeah, so I started looking intothis.
Do you know that peopleactually, after accidents, they
actually they have some kind ofform of P PS or P PTSD?
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Sorry, yeah, ptsd, yeah, the um that you know that
can happen to anybody, like it's.
Ptsd is an.
You know we everybodyassociates that with the
military right.
I mean, obviously we're talkingabout extremes, but it doesn't
matter if you're in a uh uh,just a minor, a minor argument.
I mean it can be anything likeanything that like shocks you to
(04:10):
a point where you're going tohave some type of, you know,
residual effect of that.
That's PTSD, right.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I'm getting.
I'm getting better, but it'sbeen jacking up my sleep.
I mean really, I mean it's beencrazy, but I noticed it more
when I got into the car and, asas I'm getting the car, like
when I came over here I was goodbecause I had made.
When I kind of woke up thismorning, I was like you know, I
got this, I, I I've been doingthis forever.
I'm not going to feel weirdabout getting in a damn car.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, so that that cautiousness is kind of kind of
in height heightened right nowwith your driving and making
sure that you're you know yougot it, dude, you're good.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Oh yeah, no, it wasn't that and, like I said,
you know, I just wanted to bringthat because you know, you know
I've been feeling kind of funkyabout it anyway, Right, and I
just wanted everybody else toknow that if, if this ever
happens to you, it's notabnormal, it's very normal.
I did a lot of reading about itbecause it was bugging me and I
just wanted to know and whatI've, what am I feeling is?
(05:07):
Is it normal?
And it is, it's a.
It's a normal feeling.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, man, this is total normal.
I mean people, people get PTSDfrom like shopping, you know
like you know like that, thatafter a purchase you know you
don't want, oh, should I havebought that?
Should I have not bought that?
And then you're going to belike worried about it, Things
like that.
Like people get it for allkinds of stuff, but it's normal.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You know what changed my whole outlook on it, though.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
What's that?
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Last week we were going to talk about something
and we didn't get to it.
What's that Was the fires inCalifornia, oh man.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Fires in California right now are just.
It's unreal to be able to justimagine or fathom the situation
that people are in.
You know, like I was thinkingabout that the other day too.
Like imagine, my, I was sittinghere in my office and I was
like imagine if my whole entirehouse just burnt down.
(06:01):
Decimated, that would be likethis whole studio area right now
, nothing's, yeah, nothing'shere like, like you know what I
was thinking about, like thepeople that had time to grab
stuff and the people that didn'thave time to grab stuff and, uh
, you know, if you had that timeto grab, like, what would you
grab?
Speaker 2 (06:17):
it was decimated.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I watched uh no, the question was what would you grab
I?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
don't know, I don't know I I truthfully don't know
what I would grab, because thethe way it happened with them.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Most of them only had minutes, yeah, I mean like you
get you, you, the I'm just likepassports, yeah, passports,
stuff like that yeah, I meanlike that, that is like I kind
of like you know being beingairline and stuff, we got our
like kind of our go bags right,right where we like we have all
our shit backed and ready to goand ready to go.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I definitely grab that, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Like you, like it's like what are what's so valuable
that I needed to take with mein an instant that I can just
carry and be able to get out ofthe house and like people were
talking about some of thestories where the the people
were just grabbing photo albums.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I grabbed a computer cause I got it all downloaded on
there, just like you do.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Yeah, I need one computer.
One computer is going to gowith me and you know that
because I have access,everything's in cloud and all
that stuff.
So you know, burn them all, Istill got access.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
But you know, it's crazy though, you go through
this thing, like I was tellingyou I was feeling a certain way,
and then you look at thesepeople's lives, this whole area,
40,000 acres decimated,completely, completely gone.
I mean, the only thing that wasstanding were, uh, were
chimneys.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, I mean just to watch the news and stuff it's
heart-wrenching you to, to hearall the uh stories and stuff
about it.
Did you see that one guy thathad, like he was in the
neighborhood where his house isthe only house standing?
Did you see that one?
Yeah, I, I did it, I did.
He was showing you know, likehere's this house, it's burned
his house, nothing.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
I know there's a miracle, there's miracles like
that but then you look in thestreet and the cars are melted.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
Yeah, I mean just everything was just like totally
nothing.
The other part about this thingtoo that, the other part about
this thing too that like pissesme off is that the people that
are looting and all that crap,you know like people that are.
I hate when people are tryingto take advantage of a bad
situation and that's always.
We've got the scammers andstuff out there.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
You've got to be the lowest scumbag part of the earth
, that when people are down thatyou go steal from them.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, you are nothing but a complete
dirt bag.
Yeah, man, you know what?
Unfortunately, we live aroundall of those type of people.
I mean, they're in the world,they're out there because, you
know hell, my phone's ringingall the time with stupid scam
stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, but you know, when you're a scumbag like that
and you take advantage of aperson like that, trust me,
especially in a fire situation,get used to the heat, because
you sure in the hell going tosomewhere, to where it's going
to be hot on a regular basis.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah, I was thinking about this, like in other
countries like United States.
It's kind of like I waslistening to news and how they
were like we're going to throwthe book at you If you do this,
we're gonna, you know, we'regonna incarcerate you.
We're gonna, you know, you know, do everything to the fullest
of extending the law and allthis stuff.
You know.
Now take this same situation,put it into a foreign country
you're dead, they just shot,yeah, just shot you right there,
(09:15):
just shot, you've been layingin the rubble like they're lucky
they're here in this countrybecause, um, we go easy on
people like this where you knowI mean, there's thieves.
Back in the history of a time,what did they normally do with
thieves, no matter where youwere in the world?
Like chop off their hands.
Stuff like that, those type ofpunishments I mean to a certain
(09:40):
extent, is like man.
I hate to say that I would liketo see some of it back, but I
mean at the same time it'sbrutal, but at the same time I'm
thinking, you know, thecountry's gotten to a point
where it's like they've takenadvantage of every loophole they
could take.
We're like we're a loopholenation.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
There was one family.
They had posted a sign on theoutside of their house and it
was perfect.
It said looters, beware, we'reactually home and you've been
warned.
Yeah, so definitely you'regoing to get your ass shot if
you come inside.
Yeah, you know, like I said,that's the biggest scum of the
earth.
Are those people?
Do you know, sean?
The intensity of that flame isincredible.
(10:20):
You know, a few years back Ihad some pine trees that had
died and I piled these on top ofeach other.
They have a big burning pit inthe back.
I was watching a video and theyshowed one of the spiral flames
.
The intensity of those flames,yeah, from the wind, it's
absolutely incredible.
Like I said, I had like 20pines when I set this up.
(10:42):
It was the most intense 12 to15 seconds I've ever seen, I
mean, and I was clear,everything was safe.
I mean, I was in a burning pitand everything, and the flame
was going straight up, but itraged.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, I mean the intensity of like kindling wood
and you know dry woods in theforest and stuff and the things
that you know the foresters likethey go in and they get that
dry brush and they like policeit up.
You know the fallen trees andall that stuff try to keep it
down to.
You know low, uh, low.
(11:20):
You know level um is superimportant.
You know people don't realizethat we need to.
Also, the forests are beautifulto see and all that stuff, but
there's also some maintenancerequired for for us to have them
you know and people, justbecause they're there, it
doesn't mean that you shouldn'tbe trying to take care of them,
especially when they're close topopulated areas.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
You know, the other thing I hate too is that there
was like a group of people thatyou know they.
They're like oh it's California, oh it's, it's a rich or it's
this.
You know how could you eventhink about that?
This, it doesn't matter.
Those people lost their lives,their homes yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I don't even, um, like that whole entire topic of,
like you know, I've seen somebrutally terrible stuff out
there.
You know, politically speaking,and all this stuff, you know,
oh, you know, they're a bunch ofliberals, they, they got what's
coming to them, things that youknow like just awful statements
, that, uh, it really shouldn'tmatter.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
These are all humans, you know but then you see, then
you also see the good side ofhumanity, right, there's so many
people that stepped up andstarted helping all these people
.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Yeah, the small businesses out there.
I mean, I love those storiesabout like they've opened the
doors to try to take care of thepeople out there and make their
facilities welcome to likewhatever they can do, whether
that's just space to put uptents, space to, you know, get
supplies, have water drops, allthese different types of things.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Jay Leno was down there serving the firefighters,
that was actually pretty cool.
Yeah, and then even I noticedonline he had flight attendants
that were donating things ortaking donations for families
that lost everything.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Yeah, this whole thing is so tragic but at the
same time, like I do understand,like people, um, you know, we
this is so pronounced right nowin the news, like everybody,
everything that's right is aboutthe fires right now, but I feel
like people always forget aboutthe last tragedy, tragedy that
we had.
(13:10):
I mean, the Carolinas right noware suffering, there's still
people in tents, there's stillpeople out there that need help
and, you know, the focus now hasgone totally to the West Coast.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Well, it becomes accountability right.
I mean, now we're at the stage.
I mean the fires.
Well, they're still burning,but now it becomes
accountability, right.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
I mean, you know that's that's the important
thing with putting in the rightgovernment and the right leaders
, and to make sure that you knowthey're taking care of the
people in their area and allthat stuff.
So, yeah, it's bad man.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
And we said we don't get.
You know, don't like gettingpolitical on our podcast, but
listen, keep the damn money inthe United States.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I mean until our people are good.
Our people, I mean no one'shungry.
They have homes, they're notburned out of their homes,
they're not flooded out of theirhomes.
Keep the damn money in ourcountry and stop sending our
money everywhere else but in theUnited States.
Take care of our own people.
Yeah well, I think that's goingto stop here soon I hope the
(14:14):
Lord above it does, because youknow something I'm tired of
seeing our people suffer.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, I mean we really need to take care of our
own and all these specialinterests stuff to me is a
that's a whole other subject.
Let's not go political rightnow, but anyways, what else has
been going on?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well, you know, I was looking at these pictures the
other day.
Now this is completely awayfrom what we were talking about,
but it was some really funnypictures and I thought to myself
do you remember your first date, my first date?
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, first date you ever had Dude.
So with that question you needto qualify it First date, like I
had a date.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Then, then you drove, let's say, when you, when you
had, because I had like puppylove.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
You know?
Fourth grade you know, you wentover to my you know, went over
to the girl's house, brought ateddy bear with me, you know, no
, when you drove.
So when I drove first date,yeah, yeah, I remember my, I
mean all right, give me a littleshort thing of it.
So this is interesting scenebecause, uh, you know, you're
(15:15):
quantifying this thing through,like when you first drove, right
?
So I grew up as a military bratand I was in Italy, and so you
can't drive in Italy untilyou're 21.
Really, yeah, I didn't know so.
So, like you know, drivingwasn't a thing over there, like
we none of us had drive If allof us had, like mopeds or
motorcycles or something likethat that we drove around on but
(15:37):
you can drive over there untilyou're 21.
So it wasn't a thing like that.
Like my first date there, likeyou know we we jumped on a train
, we headed over to Venice, wehad dinner.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
That was your first See.
I knew it wasn't going to benormal.
I knew it.
It just was not going to benormal.
Dude, Right, there's nothinglike mine.
I mean I'm sitting here, goingreally.
I mean that's unbelievable,that's nothing like mine.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Right, right right.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
Oh, my God.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
But these are the privileges of being a military
brat.
It's bad that you're runningaround all over the world and
you don't have this.
Military brats are one of ourthings.
We don't have any place to callhome.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I thought something was going to be good with this
and you just come up with that.
I'm sitting here thinking ofmine here.
Okay, I got to tell you.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Let me tell you about your little silly one.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
All right.
So I'm bewildered with yours.
So mine was.
I had an old brown stationwagon that was my parents.
All right, okay.
And so if we wanted to go on adate we had to drive the brown
station wagon.
So real quick went over to herhouse.
I went to pick her up, I wentoutside.
The parents were all out thereand they were looking outside,
(16:58):
so I went to get in the car.
She's sitting next to me, she'ssmiling.
I went to turn the ignition andit didn't start.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh no, dude, that's the worst, right the?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
dad had to come out and jump my car.
Oh no, I thought, well, if Ibring her home late, you know
why.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Right, at least you got a sumptuous excuse, right,
well?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
the reason why I brought this up, really because
I was looking at these picturesand years ago, in this little
quote that they had and itshowed this picture of this
young girl and she was in littlejean shorts that were cut off
jeans and she had a crop topthat was cut off a shirt and it
(17:44):
said this is now someone'sgrandma and I thought this was
what we looked at years ago andwe were.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
That was hot.
Yeah, man, the daisy duke.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Days like you know nothing, nothing.
They all they had was cut jeans, a crop top shirt and this
blonde flowing hair, dark hair,whatever it was like like daisy
duke and uh, um, what is it?
Uh, dukes of hazard but noweverybody's got it.
They have to spend all thismoney for what?
Yeah I was thinking.
I was thinking that's not we.
(18:07):
We were looking at that withnothing, just just the, just the
little jeans and top.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, nowadays it has to be like it has to have
Versace gas, it has to have sometype of designer on there.
I don't want to date myselfwith calling out names here, but
whatever has your Louis Vuittonbag, whatever, that's the
generation today.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
I absolutely love those pics though, Sean, because
it showed that girl, and thenit had this other one like the
70s into the 80s, so they hadthe hip hugger jeans and then
the little bikini top.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Right.
So a lot of that stuff's comingback.
Man Depends on where you are inthe United States, because I
mean, if you're in certainclimates, for that stuff I mean
you go down south you're goingto see some Daisy Dukes running
around.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Yeah, well, the only difference is that you're paying
about $150 for those and theyjust cut them off because they
were all torn up.
That was the difference.
And what we called sexy wasthat girl standing next to a GTO
, a 67 GTO or a 66 Mustang.
I mean, that's what weconsidered sexy.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, now, now you get the same girl, you get a.
They're designer wear andthey're sitting next to a
freaking uh fake, eyelashes fakenails, lamborghini, fake
everything, everything's sexy.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
But it's true, just there's nothing real yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
It's nothing real yeah it's all fake it is all
fake, but you know, you knowthat whole thing, this whole
subject like reminds me of Ilove watching those uh, you know
, uh the tiktok.
Or you know instagram videos ofthe you know gold diggers.
Yeah, I mean like.
So you get these gals andthey're all like whatever
they're wearing for that day andand the dude's like you know
(19:55):
tricking them to, you know he'shomeless or something like that,
and then he like walks over andjumps in his Lamborghini and
then they want to talk to himand stuff you know like girls
(20:15):
any day of the week, because anygirl and this goes for just
today if you can rock a pair ofjeans and a t-shirt, you can
wear anything, I don't care whatit is.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
If you can do that as a woman a pair of jeans,
t-shirts you don't have to spenda lot of money.
Hell, you can get that for shitfrom Walmart.
But you know, if you can dothat, that's it right there.
You don't need all that money.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Dude, you don't have to be a Victoria's secret girl.
It's kind of like a what's hername?
It has a Victoria's secret song.
You know, like themanufacturers are producing all
this stuff, like they're they'rein these young women's heads
and boys and they're they'reproducing these.
You know, this is what, this iswhat's good looking, this is
what's sexy, this is all thisstuff, but it's just a bunch of
(20:53):
bullshit really.
I mean, my favorite thing issimple, like I want L natural.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Less is better.
I sent you the picture.
What did you think?
Yeah, less is better, man.
I told you she blue jeans, cropshirt, long blonde hair, and it
was simplicity, but, man, shewas beautiful.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, yeah, I just don't.
I'm not.
I'm not one of these like yougot to have all this makeup on
and all this stuff and cover upall your like.
I want to see your freckles.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
You don't need.
You don't need all this.
You don't need those giraffeeyelashes.
No, no, giraffe.
Those are the ugliest damnthings.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I'm sorry, now we're getting into a subject that I
get, like it's like I have, likeI cannot.
I cringe when I see this.
First of all, I don't like justas much as I don't like feet,
I'm finding out that I don'tlike long nails.
Like, how do you feel aboutlong nails?
I'm right there with you.
(21:54):
I told you when I sent you thatpicture that's exactly what I
think is sexy simplicity.
Yeah, like, the longer thenails, the like, the more I will
get a gag reflex.
Like it's just nasty.
And uh, I just do not like longfingernails whatsoever.
I mean moderate, like you cantake care of you, you can paint
them, you get all this stuff.
They could be nice moderatelength to your hand, but when
they start getting longer than,like you know, inch or two, like
I'm like but now you got those.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
You got even those videos that show that before and
after these, these women thathave gotten so good at makeup,
then all of a sudden shit, they,they don't look anything like
they.
Yeah, they look nothing likethey really do absolutely
nothing like they did.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
That's pretty freaking scary that's one of
those, one of those videos whereyou should be like.
You know you go out and youmeet this girl.
In the video you wake up in themorning, roll over.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'll tell you a thousand times, I'll go back to
our time any time of the year,because it was all natural, it
was simple, man.
Yeah, if you can rock simple,you can rock anything.
All right, listen, let's go.
Let's start talking about someairline stuff.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, what's going on in the airlines these days?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Well, you know, there has been a big issue about,
like they are talking aboutlithium batteries.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Yeah, man, those damn things are dangerous.
People don't realize howdangerous they are.
They're like um, you just haveto be cautious with them.
There's a reason why theairlines are always making rules
and stuff about the lithiumbatteries.
Like you have to, you have tobring them on with you, they
have to be on in your control.
Um, they can't be checked inyour baggage, all that type of
stuff.
So you know they're, they'renasty, but what's up?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
so this, this rule hasn't been in place since 2010.
But a lot of people they getmad because of their check bags.
They had lithium batteries init and sometimes they've had to
pull them to remove thebatteries and sometimes they
have to go without their luggagebecause they had a battery or
something in their bag.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, those smart bags, yeah, real smart ones.
Yeah, those smart bags, yeah,the real smart ones.
Yeah, those smart bags thathave the lithium batteries
implanted into the bag and stufflike that, so you can charge
your phone, and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
So I just wanted to give people a reason of why they
don't allow lithium batteriesin the check luggage anymore.
This flight happened.
It was 22 minutes in flight andthey received a fire warning
from the main deck.
There was smoke in the cockpitand they declared an emergency.
This is the reason why theydon't have these on the
(24:22):
airplanes anymore.
The captain's oxygen maskfailed, leading to his
incapacitation, and the firstofficer had to assume control.
Incapacitation and the firstofficer had to assume control
and shortly after that, theaircraft it actually plummeted
and it crashed into anunpopulated area.
But the reason what they foundout was they in the cargo part
(24:45):
of this thing, they had 81,000lithium batteries.
What?
81,000 on a pallet?
No, that's Never knew that.
Now we learned this.
The reason why's never knewthat we now we learned this.
The reason why I was sayingthis?
Because we learned this intraining all the time about
lithium yeah, but I don't knowhow the carrier even allowed
that.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
Like there's a certain amount of restriction.
I don't know what the number is, but there's a restriction of
like the volume of how manybatteries and stuff you can be
different countries though yeah,different country.
Yeah, it's true, differentcountries, different country
cargos right.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Because they had other combustible materials that
was inside the cargo unit too,but they had 81,000 lithium
batteries and it was a completerunaway of a fire inside the
belly of the aircraft.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, if you have never ever seen a battery
runaway fire, like a lithiumbattery runaway fire, google
that shit.
I mean you're're gonna besurprised, you're gonna see how
fast, like a laptop, like suchsets on fires, the ones that, uh
, you know those air purifiersthat were like the big things
back in the day here where theyeverybody hung around those then
(25:46):
, oh yeah, neck and stuff yeah,so they get on the plane and
they have these little airpurifiers and it would be, you
know, blowing purified air up intheir face like a little bug
zapper around your neckyeah, yeah, well, the airlines
out did out, you know, loggedall those things, because those
things, if google it and you'llsee people's like chest setting
on fire, you know, from thesefreaking little lithium battery,
(26:08):
uh, air purifiers.
But yeah, lithium batteries arenot to be messed around with.
I mean, people don't realizehow fast they can do it, but
when they see it, or they everhave seen it, then they'll
understand.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Like it's part of our uh, it's part of our flight
incentive training.
But listen folks, just realquick, uh, lithium batteries,
just don't, don't put them inyour check bags at all.
Really, just don't bring them.
Actually, I mean, that'd be thebest thing.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
Well, I mean you can't help from bringing lithium
batteries because you got your.
They're in your laptops or inyour phones and all this stuff,
but they need to be just withyou so you can monitor it.
That's the whole point.
You have to be in yourpossession, you know, within
your arm, you know reach, beable to deal with anything that
does happen, because thesecomputers and stuff, man, it can
happen.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Bad situation, bad All the way around.
And another bad situation Seanthe flight attendant was killed
in Denver.
She's on a layover.
It really really was sad.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
That was mind-blowing man.
I'm like thinking, you know,safety is like our number one
thing.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
We talked about that in the cities.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
Yeah, I mean when you're in the cities and stuff
and like we talked about that inthe cities.
Yeah, I mean when you're in thecities and stuff and like we
talked about this in previousepisodes, like we, you know, you
need to be cautious.
When you're like in the um,when you're in hotels, you know,
never think you're in a safespace.
That's if you start from there.
If you just like when you're,when you're out and you're about
, and you think I'm never in asafe space, you know, know, then
(27:32):
then you're, you know you're,you're on alert.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
You need to keep yourself on awareness at all.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Have that situational awareness and the stuff I got
this like a crazy story Likethis happened to me back in the
day and we were on a layover.
It was in Columbus, ohio, andwe decided we're going to go
down to there's a.
There's a really cool area inColumbus called Germantown and
we were in down to a bar, alittle place that got something
to eat and the whole crew.
It was about maybe um three,four blocks away from our hotel,
(28:02):
so it wasn't a big deal.
But and Columbus, if you'veever been there, it's pretty,
you know Midwestern town, nottoo crazy, you know all that
stuff.
So, uh, we, we all walked downand went to the bar and
everything.
And we were sitting down theredrinking, eating, and one of the
gals decided that she's goingto walk back to the hotel and
she was like I'm done, I'm goingback to the hotel.
I was like you know, I'll, I'll, I'll walk you back.
And she's like no, no, no, no,no, need, you know, I'll be,
(28:23):
I'll be fine.
And I was the lead flightattendant at that time and so I
was like dang, you know, this isnot good.
She should be walking around inthe middle of a city by herself
.
So I kind of like hightailed itall the way back to the hotel,
(28:43):
like four or five blocks.
I get to the hotel, she'swalking into the hotel.
I walk into the hotel and I'mlike you know you could have
asked.
You know it's not smart to bewalking by yourself as a female
in the city the whole nine yards.
It doesn't matter female ormale, it doesn't matter, you
shouldn't be by yourself.
And um, and she was new and allthis stuff, she's like oh, you
know, I'm okay.
(29:03):
I'm like all right, cool, I'llsee you tomorrow.
Next morning we wake up, getdown to the van.
You know the whole drill.
We're all in the van, everybodycomes in.
She comes walking in and she'slike you're not going to believe
what happened last night.
I'm like what do you mean?
I said I saw you at the hoteland you jumped in the elevator.
(29:23):
She goes yeah, when you left me, I stepped in the elevator.
When I stepped in the elevator,there was another guy in the
elevator Mugged her.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
You never go to your room when somebody walks off the
.
You just get back in the damnelevator.
Let him go.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Yeah, I mean it was, it was, it was, it was terrible.
So she was up all night withthe police and all that stuff it
was.
You just never know, man, yougot to stay on high alert in
these situations.
But that flight attendant inDenver, man, I just feel for her
family everybody 36 years offlying and she was just on a
layover.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
I mean prayers go out to her, her family, her friends
.
Just a sad situation.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Wrong place at the wrong time.
I mean just like ugh.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Another sad situation , really, but this one is
controllable.
There was a pilot that wasarrested for a DUI.
Tried to operate the commercialairplane.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Come on man.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
No, no, I just did.
I mean, whenever I see this, Imean I'm completely in disbelief
because it takes a lot to be apilot.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Well, yeah, it takes a lot to be a pilot, and I mean
I just to imagine or even fathomthe thought of people willing
to put their job on the line.
You know, knowing, because allof us had training and there's
nobody excluded from training weknow the consequences, like
that's ingrained to us, but toget to have a problem that is
(30:50):
going to be to the level thatyou're going to put your job on
the line.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
If it's a problem, that's one thing too.
So if it's a problem, that'sone thing too.
But even if you say that it's amistake, a mistake, that's the
dumbest mistake you ever made inyour life.
Yeah, it doesn't even make anysense, but it just.
I mean, every time I see thatit just really bugs me, because
I've known so many of the pilotsover the years and that is just
(31:18):
plain stupidity.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah, it's so rare man nowadays.
It's so rare because of all thetraining and the education that
we get for, um, you know, umillegal contraband and drugs and
narcotics and all that stuff.
And you know all of our rulesthat are involved with the
airlines.
It doesn't matter what airlineyou're with and where in the
world.
We all have our differentlevels of rules that we have to
(31:40):
abide by.
But, um, you know, all of usfly.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
We know so you know, we talk about this every single
week with, with the airlines, um, and it's, it's like I said,
it's almost like blotters,because there's so much that
happens every single week.
On the, on the 8th, a 737collided with a Dreamliner.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Really, yeah, a stationary Dreamliner.
Yeah, so where'd they collide?
What hit?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
what I believe it hit the wings.
The wings hit each other, andwhat happened is they ended up
both canceling, but theDreamliner was stationary.
The 737-800 was actually moving.
That's a huge cost.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Dude.
Any of those incursions likethat are just super.
They cost a lot of money.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, Another bird strike too, January 5th.
Grounded in an Airbus.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
You know, bird strikes are one of the things
that happen in airline thatprobably it'd be interesting to
see, like how many bird strikeshappen on a daily basis, because
they get reported but like it'svery rare when they make the
news because they're just socommon.
I mean, like I heard my wifethe other day.
She flew down to Florida andlike going down she hit one and
(33:01):
coming back she hit one.
But it was like you know, it'sjust like a normal routine,
right, right, you know, I mean,until it like actually does
something or it's going to takeout an engine or cause a fire or
something like that, then it'snot going to make the news
because it's burger strikes arehappening all the time.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
But, like we said before, it's kind of ironic.
I mean, when we talk aboutthese things, it's every single
week, right?
I mean there's all kinds ofcrazy crap, like this UFC
fighter that was removed fromthe aircraft in the emergency
exit row.
Did you see that?
No, what happened?
So I mean there's a lot to it,but he was in the emergency exit
(33:44):
row.
We don't know the situation.
I'm not going to sit there andsay yes or no.
Supposedly they had asked him afew times and he didn't respond
.
And then when he did respond Iguess that you know he had told
him he said, yeah, I can dowhatever it is that you need,
and they removed him off theaircraft.
But I guess prior when theyfirst asked him, it was like two
(34:06):
or three times and then hedidn't respond.
So then they took him off theaircraft, put him on another
plane.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Yeah, that's one of the rules in the US that if
you're in X-ray, you're're goingto have to one acknowledge the
crew, because we're going to allthey're supposed to give you a
briefing and you're sitting byan exit where we're going to
might need some assistance.
So I mean, if you're going tonot acknowledge us, there's an
issue.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
We have those a lot of times too.
We have those passengers thatthat you know, they, they, they
don't acknowledge you.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, they're having a bad day or whatever the
situation is.
I mean, you know, come on.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
It's just flight attendants doing their job.
I mean, you know that's it.
Trust me, we don't want to goto the exit row and ask
everybody that question anyway,but we're required to do it.
I mean, so you know, if you'resitting in the exit row, just
respond.
It's a simple thing to do andthen we don't have to see this
in the news again.
Like I said, I have no ideaexactly what happened in this,
(35:05):
but, um, the guy was removed,yeah crazy did you see the
picture I sent you this pictureabout?
we were talking about the, theguys that go up in the wheel.
Well, did you see?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
that picture.
I sent more wheel, well stuff.
Yeah, I saw the picture.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
I just had to send you a picture because it was so.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
We were wondering about the space of you know,
because we talked about theseguys that stowed away in the
wheel wells yeah, they'reshowing the guy that was like
he's kind of like crunched upinto the space sitting in the
wheel, well, and you're like,wow, I mean, yeah, I, I wish I
wish it was like, uh, you hadlike somebody could actually
like retract the wheel and putthe person in there and take the
(35:41):
picture you know like toactually see, because this is a
wheel, obviously it's extendeddown, it's on, you know, the
planes on the tarmac, whatever,but they're up in the wheel area
and they take that picture orwhatever.
But I'd like to see what itreally looks like inside that
picture.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Well, they had the guy and he was in the video that
I'd watched.
He'd showed how he had to like,lay forward, put your elbows in
, keep your, keep your legs in,because when the wheels come up
they're locked in, he said.
But when they fall, they freefall and he goes.
You better hope that your legsnot right there when that that
thing free falls, because you'regoing to get hurt really bad.
Yeah, you're not going to be inthe aircraft anymore.
(36:19):
No, but he had talked about it.
It was amazing we had saidabout people that didn't make it
, but he was talking about a13-year-old kid that did yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
I mean, if you look in history and Google this stuff
, there are people that havesurvived this stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
More survivals back in the day versus today, but I
mean but me and Sean talkedabout uh, there are three for
three.
That didn't make it.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
It's so much better.
Don't buy a ticket.
Do it $39, $39 on a uh low costcarrier.
Yeah, just just just take theticket.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
There's so many airlines out there, you can
actually go out, do your littletrabago or whatever you want to
search online.
If you're willing to connect todifferent cities and bounce
around and all kinds of stuff,you can find things that are a
week, two weeks out.
That's nothing, come on.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
That's what I was saying, the $39 that you can go
inside the plane.
But hey, you know every we'regoing to get to, uh, our
destination, but uh, you know wealways talk about food, so I
thought it'd be kind of fun,since we have a lot of people
that that are pet owners and dogowners and uh, so I had to
throw Gemma's little food inhere for a minute.
Gemma's food.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Gemma's food.
What's Gemma's bite?
Spoonful of what?
Speaker 2 (37:43):
Well, you know, when we took her to the vet they said
that put her on all naturalfoods.
So we did a little bit ofresearch.
Have you ever heard of?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
farmer's dog.
Dude, I was just about to sayfarmer's dog is a shit.
Speaker 2 (37:54):
It's crazy.
I mean, it's absolutely crazy.
So her food comes with her nameon it.
It's absolutely crazy.
Her food comes with her name onit.
It's prepackaged.
It's exactly how much food thatwe should give her.
I think it's like $2.30 a dayto feed her.
It's all natural food.
(38:14):
You have chicken, beef, turkeyI'm going to try to probably
have Sean just post a picture ofit on our site and so we
purchased a month full ofGemma's food and, like I said,
you know, it's amazing how thatlittle dog just stands there.
(38:35):
She's waiting for this likecrazy.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Dude.
So here's it.
I'm going to give you a littlestory here.
So, um, a little history.
So my wife's family is in thehas been associated with the pet
industry her entire life didyou know that?
Speaker 2 (38:53):
carriers right, yeah, yeah they had.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
They had a carrier cage uh company.
So they built, uh, her father'svery uh entrepreneurial he got
into this uh business, wastrying to, you know, looking for
the next thing, and end up,when they bought it, like a uh
trash bin, uh, that they wereburning trash.
You know, uh, back in the day,you put it into like this wire
(39:17):
basket, whatever, and they burntheir trash.
You know when people did thatback in the day and anyways,
people were buying these thingsand it all turned into a
business and they were using itinstead of burning trash.
They were using it for dogcages and this is like oh, I'm
talking, this is back in likeeighties, you know, and so she's
, she's to get into the storyhere.
(39:38):
They're very involved in thepet business and all that stuff
and they really, you know,they've been integral and on on
in all that all that front andstuff.
But pet food is awful in theindustry.
Like, I mean, all thesecompanies out there that we've
like grown up with Purina andall these different like uh, you
know I can't name all thecompanies up Purina is the big
(40:00):
one.
Like you know, I can't name allthe companies, purina is the
big one.
Right, that everybody kind ofknows about.
But here's a little story fromthis actually local neighborhood
.
Purina decided that we used to.
This area used to be a bigalpaca farm area.
Do you remember that?
Yeah, like you drive anywherearound this county, yep, I know
You'd see alpacas everywhere.
(40:20):
Have you seen that there's noalpacas?
Nope, Like you don't seealpacas anymore right?
Speaker 2 (40:25):
No, you don't see them at all.
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Well, guess why?
Well, this happened like about20 years ago.
Purina decided they were goingto get into alpaca food, all
right.
And they decided they weregoing to like hey, we're going
to send free product to allthese alpaca farmers.
Well, they did that.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
They send out all this product killed them all.
Horrible.
I mean that is absolutelyhorrible.
I mean you're laughing?
No, I'm not.
I mean it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
I mean it's horrible.
Yeah, the pet food industry andthe shit that they put in the
pet food is like, yeah, you'rethinking like why.
You know they all.
You know these are companies,you know professional companies.
They should be doing.
You know, taking doing the bestthing Isn't to this, like right
now.
And when I talk about this,you're talking about farmer's
dog.
You know what's it called,farmer's?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
dog.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Yeah, farmer's dog.
It's like it took all this timefor them to finally say you
know what, Enough's enough.
Quit giving all those crap,scraps and all this stuff
byproducts that we don't want ashumans, and giving it to our
pets, you know?
Now they're finally saying youknow what they want real food,
just like we want real food.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
You know what?
Gemma is sure in hell wantsreal food because she sits there
and she jumps up and down likecrazy whenever, uh, whenever, I
get it.
But, um, let me tell yousomething, for if you have a
small dog, I'd say, yeah,farmer's dog, a hundred percent,
yeah.
If you have a big dog, I meanthat's going to be your
(41:56):
retirement money.
It might put you out of it.
It's not cheap, man.
I mean that, that big dog onepacket, he's going to look at it
, he's going to pop his chopsand it'll be like three times a
day.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
Yeah, I'm like oh hell, no, there's a certain
demographic of dogs that this isgood for right.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
I could not even imagine giving a Great Dane.
Great Dane would probably justeat Gemma's food for the month.
They'd eat Gemma too, that'strue, but hey, listen, farmer's
dog, give it a shot.
I'm going to actually try tomake a version of farmer's dog
because I've seen it online,because I just wanted to see,
like a comparison, how muchcould I make compared to what
(42:31):
they make.
Speaker 1 (42:33):
Oh yeah, yeah, Like kind of cost it out, Like you
know.
Hey, here I'm going to make allthese same products and stuff.
You know, somebody's going toalways do that.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
Yeah, meal prep for my kids.
I might as well meal prep forthe dog.
Heck, yeah, I'm going to giveit a shot, but anyway, let's go
to the destination.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
Destination man, as we talked about last week.
We talked about how Omaha,there's such a good destination.
(43:10):
Omaha's our destination.
Omaha, nebraska.
I'm telling you right now, likewe were telling you, I went to
school there, university ofNebraska, omaha.
It's right down on themiddlearks here and Omaha has
always been the home of theCollege World.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
Series Right.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
Yep.
So right now, the stadium thatstands there is the Charles
Schwab Field in Omaha.
And I'm telling you right now,I mean it's an experience, have
you been there?
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah, absolutely yeah .
Speaker 1 (43:42):
Yeah, I mean, that stadium is like a really, really
nice stadium, I mean for for acollege, um baseball stadium.
You're gonna be like soimpressed.
But uh, if you ever get achance to do that, it's right
outside the airport.
There it's like just a fewmiles down the street from the
airport.
You, you gotta almost pass iton the way into the city unless
you jump on a highway, butanyways, yeah.
So the other thing that is duein Omaha is there's an area
(44:05):
called the Old Market.
Old Market has been thereforever and it's just like maybe
a four block square radius, butit has all these cool shops and
all this stuff and I was kindof like looking at it today, you
know because I haven't been toOmaha for a minute, but there
was some of my favorite places.
You know because I haven't beento Omaha for a minute, but
there was some of my favoriteplaces, and one of the places
that I absolutely like lovedwhen I was, you know, coming up
in college was this littleMexican Tex-Mex place.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
I was going to say we're going to food.
Yeah, we're going to food, man.
Speaker 1 (44:30):
We're going to food.
I used to like literally gothere and study at this like
restaurant called Julio's rightand, and it was right outside,
like right in the end of the oldmarket, and it's closed down,
Not there anymore.
I was like no, no, you can't.
Julio's is the.
They made their own chips, theymade their own, they fried
(44:51):
their own chips and all thisstuff.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
That's probably why they're out of business.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
Dude, no, it was so good.
I have no idea I need toresearch into this, but
definitely miss Julio's.
No idea I need to research intothis, but, uh, definitely miss
julio's.
But um, the other things thatare there, that are that have
been there forever, is, oldmarket has a spaghetti works
there, they have a omaha umcandy company there and they
also have this um famous uhrecord store, homer's records.
(45:14):
Have you ever heard of that?
Nope, homer's records is likethe.
The old market used to have likejust all kinds of like eclectic
shops and stuff like that.
You can go in there like theyused to.
They used to have and theymight still have it um a shop
where, literally, you'd walkthrough the door and every
single toy that you had everseen as a kid I don't care how
(45:34):
old you are, how young you are,they had all the different eras
of people and toys and stuff.
You walk through the store andyou're going to see stuff that
you're like wow, I remember thatwhen I was like five.
You know like it wasunbelievable some of the old
stuff that's in there, but it'sa really cool area to like see
all this neat stuff and they'rereally uh big on having record
stores and records are makingtheir play coming back right now
(45:55):
.
I didn't know.
I don't know if you know that Ican't, I honestly I can't even
imagine records coming back yeah, man, they're like a big deal
right now, like lps are like thething right now a lot of all
these younger generations orthey want one lps.
I have a nephew right now.
He's out in indiana and shoutout to cameron.
But um, he, he is like intothat, he wants to listen to them
(46:17):
, he wants to hear that scratchand pop and all that stuff.
Like us, us growing up as kids,it was like we were like the
needle run across the record.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like, yeah,we'd like float across the
record.
Speaker 2 (46:27):
We'd have to put like a nickel on top of the needles
keep it weighted down and thingslike that, or a penny or tape
right.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
We do all kinds of wild things just to like get our
music right and we always wantto hear it as clean as possible.
Without you know, we'd have toclean our records and stuff, get
all the dust and dirt, all that, keep it from popping and
cracking.
But they like all that stuff,but they're making, it's making
a comeback and they're liketaylor just put out a her, her,
every album she puts out, orevery um you know lp or whatever
(46:55):
she puts out, and it's pressedin a original lp.
Speaker 2 (46:58):
Now you know it's funny.
You just said I just remembered, uh, do you remember molly
hatchet flirting with thedisaster?
Speaker 1 (47:04):
yeah, that, I just remember that one playing that
one, that that record, oh yeah,like just I just turn it up the
whole record, of the wholerecord, like, um, you know the
persona of it and the whole.
You know the feel of putting arecord on a turntable and
putting needle on it and allthat's all that stuff, man, it
(47:25):
just like it's nostalgic for usbut that thing is coming back
and so, anyways, the old mark isa really cool place.
But not only do they have theuniversity of Nebraska there,
they also have Creightonuniversity.
So you know Creighton, right?
Yeah, yeah, I mean bigbasketball, creighton, creighton
University.
So you know Creighton, right,yeah, yeah, I mean big
basketball, creighton, creighton.
Creighton has a really coolfacility.
That down right downtown Omaha.
(47:47):
The other thing that's reallycool is that Omaha is separated
right on the border of the mostyou know, it's the most Eastern
border of Nebraska and it'sbordered by the Missouri River.
Well, across the river is acity called Council Bluffs, and
Council Bluffs has to bementioned in this whole thing
because when you are on alayover in Omaha you can walk
(48:10):
across.
They made a bridge, it's apedestrian bridge called the Bob
Carey Pedestrian Bridge, andBob Carey is an old, a old
center, somebody you know,governor, whatever.
Anyways, you can walk acrossthis bridge over to council
bluffs.
But council bluffs in thehistory that I've always been
there has been like the sin cityside of things, like over in
(48:33):
council bluffs they got all thebars and stuff.
Is that where we're at?
What's that?
Speaker 2 (48:37):
yeah, we've been there that's where you took me,
wasn't?
Speaker 1 (48:43):
it.
So, anyways, like so in today'sworld right now.
You go over there, you walkacross the bridge, along the
whole edge of the river.
There's nothing but casinos,really.
So there's casinos, there'sbars, food, all that stuff.
Um, back when I was a youngairman and I was based in Omaha,
nebraska Air Force Base.
(49:04):
There it was before the age of21 turned in the United States,
where all the states turned to21.
There wasn't time.
We're showing our age here now.
There was a time when, incertain states, you can go out
drinking if you were 19, right,we?
Speaker 2 (49:22):
show our age all the time.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
We do that all the time the 3-2 beer days, right?
Well, you'd have to go over toCouncil Bluffs to get the 3-2
beers bars.
So it's always been relatedthat this is the sin side of the
go to Iowa.
Speaker 2 (49:38):
We're so old I remember Little King's three for
a dollar.
Oh yeah, yeah I did that's.
That's how old we are.
When beer, when you get threebeers for a dollar, you're old
yeah, but omaha is just a reallycool.
Speaker 1 (49:49):
Uh has all kinds of stuff.
You know all the you knowtypical things on theaters, arts
, all that stuff that they offerthere.
Omaha used to be the per capita.
You had more restaurants percapita for the amount of people
they had there than Omaha usedto be a per capita.
You had more restaurants percapita for the amount of people
they had there than anywhere inthe United States.
Like there was just so manyrestaurants there, um, but big
beef like they get the cattleyards there and all that stuff,
