A blunt PSA, a nail-biter movie breakdown, and a beach list you’ll actually use—this one moves. We kick off by calling out airport bathroom offenders and then swing into the oddly soothing satisfaction of a full garage reboot. From there, we dive into a nuclear-crisis thriller that had us sweating for all the right reasons. We connect the on-screen chain-of-command to real-world procedures—codes, silos, and why those edge-of-seat final calls hit so hard—and ask how any of us might react when the clock runs out: do your job, freeze, or phone home.
That human thread guides a bigger story about aviation culture. We revisit the lawsuit that ended “no marriage” rules and opened the door to modern flight attendant careers, then contrast U.S. protections with the rigid grooming checks and contracts many crews face abroad. We trace the style eras—from nurse-chic to hot pants to the name-tag-and-flair phase—and tell some painfully funny jump seat tales about bragging, manspreading, and dragon breath you can smell through the headphones.
Craving a getaway? We map the Florida beaches that earn your PTO: Anna Maria Island for slow days and sunset gold, Clearwater for walkable food-and-sand, Bradenton’s easy charm, and Destin’s powder-soft sand that feels unreal underfoot. Along the way we explain why the Gulf looks like glass while the Pacific throws real surf, and how seashells sculpt the sand beneath your toes. Aviation nerds get their candy too: a laptop slips into an aircraft sidewall and the crew diverts for one reason—lithium battery fire risk where no one can reach. We swap war stories about lost earbuds, rescued hearing aids, and a diamond bracelet hiding in a seat track. Then we zoom out: airlines feeding unpaid controllers during a shutdown, U.S.–Mexico route politics, and why a 6.1% mortgage rate isn’t the apocalypse once you remember the 7s and 10s. We close with a troubling diversion after a passenger used a fork as a weapon—and a plea for basic self-control at altitude.
If this mix of real-world aviation, smart travel tips, and Gulf Coast beach joy hits your frequency, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with a friend who needs a vacation plan. Tell us your favorite Florida beach and why it tops your list.

(05:56):
The other thing, man, thathappened was I watched one of
the most intense movies thattook me straight back to my
military days, This House ofDynamite.
Have you seen this yet?
No, dude.
I'm uh look, listen, everybodythat's out there, if you want
some exhilarating shit, and Idon't care who you are, you
don't even have to beex-military.
(06:18):
If you wanted some exhilaratingshit that takes you back to Cold
War days, that nuclear, like welived it.
We've lived this in ourlifetime.
Like there was a time in ourlife where it was like, is there
gonna be a nuclear attack?
Right?
Right.
Like that was like an everydayfeeling for us when we were a
kid, right?
When we were younger, like thatwas like, you know, the detente
(06:40):
of you know, that whole nuclearthing was happening.
But this new movie is theperspective of like all of a
sudden there's a freakingnuclear missile coming at the
United States, and what are wegonna do about it?
And it goes through thisperspective of like everything
that's supposed to happen.
(07:00):
Like, well, you know, likepresident gets involved, and
they got the football, and thefootball has all the codes to
the nuclear launch codes and allthat stuff.
Like they go through that wholeentire scenario from the guys
that are in the silos that areshooting off you know rockets to
intercept those nuclear missilesand stuff like that.
But what it took for me was whatmade it so real for me was like
(07:23):
I have that previous previousexperience in the military of
working around all that stuffand being in those like command
centers and seeing all thatnuclear, like uh how we protect
the United States and how thiswhole thing shakes out.
It's a cool movie, it's pretty,it's pretty realistic.
And um, I'm not gonna do aspoiler alert or anything like
(07:44):
that, like tell anybody any moreabout the movie than it, but it
is so intense, and it it it goesall, I mean, it just keeps
going, and you're gonna be onthe edge of your seat.
I mean, you're gonna have avisceral reaction to this movie.
And there's just nobody watchingthis.
If you don't, you're not human.
So where'd you watch it on?
(08:04):
Where'd you talk about?
Where did you see it?
I mean in my home theater.
There's a big screen with aprojector, and then I sat in
this chair and I watched it.
Oh, you're talking about thechannel I saw it on.
What it was on?
Like Netflix?
I I'm looking for something tohit on that.
I believe it was Netflix.
(08:26):
You knew exactly what I wasasking you.
The movie is House of Dynamite.
Google it, people.
SPEAKER_01 (08:30):
See, okay, but see, everybody would have wanna know.
Hey, it was on Netflix.
I believe it was on Netflix,yeah.
See, and you had to do yourlittle smart ass thing, right?
You couldn't just go, hey gee,it's on Netflix.
Everyone out there enjoyed that.
I watched it on my uh my bigscreen TV and I did this.
Yeah, it's smart ass.
I like hit the remote on.
Yeah, whatever.
(08:50):
Now I ain't watching it justbecause you wouldn't even tell
me it was on Netflix.
SPEAKER_02 (08:54):
I'm gonna tell you right now, it was one of the
most freaking emotional, crazymovies I've watched in a long
time.
And I mean, I got on the edge ofmy seat and I was like, whoa.
This, I mean, this will get yourheart racing, get you like the
whole thing.
But here's the other thing thattied into the the movie, okay,
that I thought was, and and whenyou watch it, just pay attention
(09:17):
to this little bit thing.
Every time, and and now I'm backto airlines, every time we're in
a situation where you're feelingthreatened by this is a life and
death thing that's getting readyto happen.
What's the first thing thatpeople do?
(09:39):
The first thing that people doand anybody, I don't care who it
is.
What's a normal reaction whenyou're in a life-threatening
situation?
Most people they'll run.
They'll run, but a lot of peoplewant to call their loved ones.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I get that.
So like 9-11.
Yeah.
How many like all therecordings?
How many people like on theplanes try to get the colour?
SPEAKER_01 (10:02):
Oh, you mean you mean when when they're gonna
die, when they oh that lastmoment of death.
SPEAKER_02 (10:06):
That's what I mean by like there's a
life-threatening thing.
SPEAKER_01 (10:10):
So no, a life-threatening thing could be
someone coming at you and yourunning in the opposite
direction.
If you're saying that that it'snot a good thing.
SPEAKER_02 (10:19):
No, they're thinking they're thinking like life is
over here in uh soon, and whatis what am I gonna do about it?
Not them defending themselves.
That's a little bit differentexplanation.
But this movie goes heavily intothat and pay attention to that
when you're watching it.
It is it's pretty interestinghow you like you know that uh
just like you're talking aboutthat flight or fight reaction.
(10:39):
Like, am I am I going to reactlike this and I'm gonna freaking
try to like solve it and keepdoing what I need to do, do my
job, or am I going to callcollapse and try to and and and
give up?

about, you know, hot chicks andyou know, getting our
testosterone all worked up andblah blah blah, and talking

Like right there in this publicbathroom, you're like, ugh.
Yeah.
And then you know what this is afunny thing that happened too.
So in that same bathroom, I goin there and you know, step up
to like the 15 urinals that areall lined up there, and then the
(18:10):
bottom of the freaking urinal,right, dude, somebody had
crumped up this little piece ofpaper, and you look down, and it
looks like looks like a crumpledup$100 bill.
And it's and people have beenpissing on it.
But if somebody had somebody hadphotoshoot copied a freaking
hundred dollar bill, crumpledup, and threw it in the bottom
of the urinal, hoping somebody'sgonna pick that shit up.
(18:33):
That's gross.
I literally it uh it gave me onepause.
Like I turned the corner, Ilooked down, I'm like, damn, is
that a hundred dollar bill?
SPEAKER_01 (18:40):
And you know somebody did, and it looked like
look at dude.
That one person probably didwash his hands.
I'm sorry, I I had to beat up onour gender a little bit today
because I mean have having todeal with having to deal with
that on the jump seat and thenhaving to walk through the
airports and see that, yeah.
(19:01):
I I'm like, I I understand whywomen don't like us sometimes.
Yeah, man.
A lot of times.
SPEAKER_02 (19:06):
They're so nasty.
Don't be you can't be nasty andbe like wanting to like
cohabitate with uh the oppositesex.
Yeah.
Or with the same sex, orwhatever you're into.
But just you can't be nasty.
You yeah, that that was justnasty.
SPEAKER_01 (19:21):
But I was talking to I was talking to a flight
attendant, and uh we got in thisconversation uh and and we were
talking about what actuallychanged um the the uh sex
discrimination in the airlineindustry with women.
Which years ago.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (19:38):
So you're talking about what got rid of the hot
pans and the sexy flightattendants that used to be
flying around in the middle.
SPEAKER_01 (19:44):
No, no, no, no.
That before we're gonna get tothat too.
But um no, the it was theMcDonald lawsuit.
Now, this was a lawsuit that wasum that actually changed the
airline industry forever.
It was back in the 1960s andearly 70s.
And what were they changing?
It was the the sexist employmentpolicies for flight attendants,
and and back then, you know, wewere called st stewardess,
(20:05):
stewy.
Stewardesses.
SPEAKER_02 (20:08):
Right, wasn't it was like uh back then it was only
female, right?
But and and you couldn't bemarried.
So there was no male.
No.
Period.
You had to be hot and sexy andsingle.
SPEAKER_01 (20:18):
Yeah.
Not you.
That don't fly today.
But no, it it it was just youhad to be unmarried.
And what uh and what happened assoon as they got married, they
got fired.
Wow.
So she was so this uh last nameMcDonald went and she fought and
uh and and got uh this thischange, it got the lost change.
(20:40):
And what it was is that it wasuh it was uh several attendants
sued under the title of TitleVII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, which bans employmentdiscrimination based on sex.
Well, that makes sense.
That's how me and you got it.
They won.
Yeah, they did.
SPEAKER_02 (20:57):
And and Sean and G got a career.
SPEAKER_01 (21:00):
So it was the end of the discriminatory no marriage
rule.
So they what what it was is thatthey tried to only make it for
this specific person and itended up being a class action.
So that what they had to do isthere was a group they had to
actually hire them back thatgive them the option of coming
back to work.
So I imagine they had to gothrough training and everything,
(21:22):
but they they they had the rightto come back and and work as
flight attendants again.
As it should be.
Yeah.
And then uh then, then there'sme and you, the evolution, the
evolution, yeah.
So I was I was like, oh, this iskind of fun because you you go
from this and then you get intothe evolution of what a flight
attendant used to be like.
SPEAKER_02 (21:42):
Yeah.
Nurses, yeah, sexy, right,single women.
The training was unbelievable.
You know, they encouraged you toflirt with the passengers.
Yep.
Right.
It was all about it was verysexism.
SPEAKER_01 (21:57):
They had the yeah, they had they had the um the the
silver trays, the lined linens,everything.
Right.
Right.
I mean, uh you you had to be anurse.
Yep.
Professionalism, your hair,makeup, your weight.
SPEAKER_02 (22:14):
Yeah, all that stuff.
You know what fascinates meabout this whole thing that
you're talking about is like sothat history happened here in
the United States, but thathistory still goes on in the
world.
Right.
So a lot of people don't realizethat in our in our business.
Like when we're talking aboutthese other other countries and
stuff, like the United States,we have all these rules and laws
(22:36):
about you know discrimination,whereas n a lot of countries
don't hire flight attendants,they contract them.
Right.
So many, many of the carriersthat are out there that people
like enjoy.
SPEAKER_01 (22:49):
Yeah.
They stay on compounds,actually.
SPEAKER_02 (22:52):
Yeah, they are contracted and at a certain age
they're dismissed.
Yeah, they're gone.
Yeah, they're you're gone.
You can't work in these specificairlines past a certain age.
So they got this same same typeof thing happening.
SPEAKER_01 (23:06):
It's actually really crazy.
If if people really knew, likeon the on the international
carriers, how it works, yeah,they they would just be blown
away.
SPEAKER_02 (23:14):
Well, tell them about some of it.
Just like like, I mean, it islike there are airlines out
there in the world right nowwhere when a flight attendant
goes to work, she has to line upin a line like in a military
style and be inspected by thepilots.
SPEAKER_01 (23:31):
Oh yeah.
Well, they they are there's alsothere's also they they got to
show up like um four hours priorto a flight.
Then they have to go throughthis whole check-in system, then
they have to go to through a anappearance regimen to where they
have to walk into a room,they're they're checked for
every little bitty thing thatthat and if any part of their
uniform, any part of theirmakeup, their hair is out of
(23:52):
place, it's is immediatelyfixed.
Their bags are taken from them,they're they're put into a
container because they don'twant them their bags with them.
They only want one small uh bagwith them.
Whatever they need, require dutyitems.
Right.
Then they go in and they have abriefing room with their crew.
Then they get positionedassigned to them in that
(24:13):
briefing room.
Right.
Then after that briefing,they're required to go to
another briefing with theirpilots.
Then they have that briefing,then they have to go into the
airplanes and start their thisis all four hours out.
Yeah.
Before before they're before theflight even leaves.
SPEAKER_02 (24:31):
But the the phenomenal thing about that
whole thing, that story is thatthis isn't actually happening in
the world right now.
Right.
Like this is like in the UnitedStates, we have all these great
laws that protect all this stuffand give us the ability to have
these uh privileges to do allthese different jobs now and
stuff, whereas we have we werethere and realized our ways were
(24:53):
bad.
Right.
And then now, you know, theseother countries, there's these
third world countries and stuff,they still are doing this stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (24:59):
Yeah.
You go into their bathrooms onan airplane and they're
spotless.
SPEAKER_02 (25:02):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (25:02):
Right?
There's no there's nothing onthe floor.
You go into ours, it looks likethe marathon station.
SPEAKER_02 (25:09):
It does, man.
You ain't getting down there andcleaning.
You know what the crazy stuffabout that?
Like you're talking about thebathrooms, like that that last
trip I was on, dude.
The first thing that happened onthe flight was the bathroom.
The bathroom theft washappening.
You know how we have all theextra nice lotions and face
sprays and stuff on the likesome like as soon as the plane
(25:31):
took off, somebody went thereand cleared it all out.
Yeah, it's gone.
Stole everything.
First person is like, I'm justgonna stick in my pocket.
Unbelievable.
SPEAKER_01 (25:40):
Yeah, man, it's crazy.
But I mean, this is these areall happening.
But we do have I I I tell you onthat, you know, on the on those
wide body planes, we do have anincredible stain remover in
there.
Have you ever have you ever usedthat?
I have not used it.
Let me tell you something.
The stain remover, I'm nottelling you to remove it, but
the stain remover that's onthose planes is really, really
(26:03):
good.
Really good.
So, yeah, don't take it outunless you need it.
Right.
But it's in there.
You don't have to keep it, justuse it.
So, anyway, we're gonna go on.
So, we had the glamorous life ofthe professional uh revered
nurses that they and then wecame on to this one.
The 70s started the hot pants.
Yeah, many skirts.
You gotta move your tail, go, goboots.
(26:26):
That's right.
Sky sluts have hit the air.
Yep.
SPEAKER_02 (26:30):

Right?
They were hanging on the wingsand the engines, the Nancy
Sinatras of the airway.
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (26:36):

SPEAKER_02 (27:08):
All that stuff.
Family travel.
Yeah.
It was a little wholesome place.
SPEAKER_01 (27:13):
We had to get weighed in.
SPEAKER_02 (27:14):
It was kind of like a little privilege to fly.
SPEAKER_01 (27:16):

Like um when I first got likehired, they I remember them
putting us on the scale andsaying, you know, but you guys
saw the picture on Facebook.
You know, we weren't weighingtoo much back then.
SPEAKER_01 (28:11):
No.
No, we didn't have any problems.
They were having fun with thatpicture, too.
Right.
We are so doing a do-over.
I told you.
We'll get into that.
Don't get off subject.
Yeah, we're gonna do that.
But anyway, uh, so the next erawe went into, which my favorite,
the relaxed sweater era.

Flight Attendants started andthen where we're at today.
What's next?
SPEAKER_02 (30:37):
Who knows, man?
Maybe we'll be around.
We need to upgrade it, the wholething.
Like we need to like shift fromFridays to back to like, you

There needs to be a shift, but Idon't think it's gonna happen

Uh Florida beaches.
Beaches known for their sand.
Siesta Beach, Florida.
I love Siesta Beach.
You've been to all thesebeaches.
Like a f I've only been to acouple of these beaches on this
list.
That's one thing I love aboutFlorida.
Florida has some of the nicestbeaches.
They're all different.
Yep, they are.
(31:51):
Like, I will tell you, likewhat's your like favorite area
of Florida in?
I'm not talking about a beach.
I'm talking about like if youtake the whole big peninsula of
stretching down Florida, thestate, and you go all the
beaches around Florida, likewhat side of Florida, east,
west, golf, north, south, west,golf side.
Where the golf size is is yourfavorite side?
(32:13):
Absolutely.
Yeah, like whereabouts in theGulf.
SPEAKER_01 (32:16):
If I would say if if if I was going anywhere,
anywhere, if I chose anywhere inFlorida to go to for a vacation,
it would be Anna Marie Island.
Anna Marie Island.
Yeah.
I mean, without a doubt.
There's a lot of nice beachesthere.
Yeah, without a doubt.
I mean, there's so manydifferent little beaches around
there, but that is like the bestplace to go, just relax.
SPEAKER_02 (32:38):

I like, well, I always like arelaxed vacation, first of all.
That's it.
Just chill out, do what you wantto do, no worries, just be you
for a week or so.
SPEAKER_01 (32:52):
But the cool thing about the Florida beaches,
though, they're it's bigfamily-oriented beaches.
Right.
I mean, you know, it's not likethis.
I mean, Clearwater years ago,back in the 80s, right?
When I when I first moved downthere, that's like I remember
when I first moved down there,yeah, and and uh and Hooters
just opened up.
I just got down to Florida.
Clearwater used to have the JoseCuervo classic all the all down
(33:15):
there on the beach.
And we used to go to theholiday.
SPEAKER_02 (33:18):
Spring break in its prime.
Exactly.
That's when it first started.
That's what we were we were thestarting population of all that
stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (33:25):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (33:26):
And then like generations came through and
ruined it all, and now theyfreaking ban them all from doing
all kinds of stuff.
But that we were in the prime ofit.
We were the we were the videos.
What were those uh what werethose uh crazy videos that were
out that you buy like hot girls?
What was a what was the thing?
Girl, girls girls.
Girls gone wild.
Yeah, girls gone wild.
(33:47):
Yeah, and they would like takethose peach, those, uh, all
those different beaches andspots like that.
That was the prime of it all.
SPEAKER_01 (33:53):
Yeah.
I mean, when we uh I rememberwhen I used to take my dogs down
the beach all the time, too.
You just let them run.
Oh yeah.
Now, now well, because you cleanup after them, and now people uh
they ruin that too.
Right.
But Clearwater Beach, man, ohman, white sand.
If for it, I mean you just keepwalking.
SPEAKER_02 (34:11):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (34:12):
Just keep walking.
I mean, and there's so many coollittle places to go, and like if
you want to stop in and have adrink or something, or something
to eat, or a sandwich, you canjust walk right up, and there's
there's a bunch of little placesright along the right along the
beach.
SPEAKER_02 (34:24):
I love like dockside, beach side, any of
those type of places where youcan just like eat on the water,
those are always my favoriteplaces to go.
SPEAKER_01 (34:34):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (34:35):
Doesn't matter where I'm going on vacation.
If I'm normally I go vacationwhere there's water, and where
we're water's water, I want tobe like kind of restaurant
that's like by the water.
SPEAKER_01 (34:44):
That's the way that's right.
So so let's go.
I mean, talk about the AnnaMarie Beaches.
You have the the it's a BeanPoint Beach.
The highlights of that, it has apanoramic view of both the Gulf
of America and Tampa Bay, makingit a prime spot for watching
sunsets.
I love the sunsets over theocean.
Oh, it's beautiful, man.
(35:04):
Right?
I mean, those are absolutelygorgeous.
And then you have Manatee PublicBeach.
It's uh also has uh it hasrestrooms, it has picnic areas,
and all these the great thing isall family.
Everything is family-oriented.
So you can, I mean, so take thekids down there, you're gonna
have a great time.
You're gonna have a great time.
SPEAKER_02 (35:24):
A day at the beach, that was like growing up, that
was like the a thing to do.
Like on the weekend, let's let'sgo to the beach.
Like I was out in Californiagrowing up, and let's go to the
beach.
We would like drive over fromthe valley and go over to like
Santa Cruz and stuff and go goto the beach.
We did the spend the wholeweekend up at the beach, you
know.
That that was like the familything, just laying out on the
(35:46):
beach.
SPEAKER_01 (35:46):
When we were young, it was Daytona.
Daytona was like the big placeto go, right?
Okay, and we didn't know aboutall these other ones.
These other beaches are so muchnicer.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They are, they're so much nicer.
I mean, and and on the golfside, man, they got beautiful,
beautiful beaches.
SPEAKER_02 (36:03):
I'm not a huge um, and I'm not trying to offend
anybody out there, but I'm not ahuge Atlantic beach guy.
No, me neither.
Because in and we're talkingabout like, you know, there's no
first of all, like there's nowaves.
Like there's just not waves.
Like I grew up on the Pacific uhside, mostly seeing that in the
(36:26):
beginning of my life.
And you know, the Pacific's gotsome real waves.
I'm talking about waves, killerwaves, you know, at times.
And it that's what I thought anocean was.
Like I every time you would say,Oh, let's go to the ocean, go to
the beach.
That's what I thought.
I'd walk up the beach, I'd seegiant waves.
Right.
Right?
Yeah.
And I got to Atlantic the firsttime, and I said, Flat.
(36:49):
Where's the ocean?
Because this looks like a lake.
SPEAKER_01 (36:52):
Yeah, it's like a big extended lake.
SPEAKER_02 (36:54):
Yeah, it's like sometimes like it's calm.
Right.
I'm like, I didn't know oceansget calm like this.
Yeah, it was flat.
Yeah, it was wild, wild.
It was just like the opposite.
So basically, I guess if you ifyou're looking at this
geographically speaking, likethat must be how the beaches are
over in like Japan or you know,that that side of the world,
(37:15):
because you know, the Pacificside, the western side of the
Pacific is the you know, NorthAmerican coast and Asian coast
over there, so they must nothave giant waves over there,
unless they got tsunamis comingin.
SPEAKER_01 (37:29):
But when you go, when you go on these beaches and
you go on the Atlantic side likethat, and then you come from
like clear water, clear water,you see the white sand.
Yeah.
And you come to the other one,it's like a gray.
Yeah.
Right?
Right.
And you're like, well, thisone's and it's not, but you're
looking at this one as like thisis dirty.
Yeah.
Right?
I mean, you look at you look atclear water, you're gonna think,
(37:49):
man, that's a clean beach.
SPEAKER_02 (37:50):
Yeah.
I mean, there's it's interestinghow how the whatever the the
animals in the ocean make up thebeaches, what's in the beach,
right?
So the the shell, fish, and thedifferent things that are in the
ocean make up what's out there.
That's what sand is, all brokenup shells and crushed up.
SPEAKER_01 (38:11):
Anne Marie Island, man.
I when we were younger, Sean, weused to go down there and we
used to dive it probably eightto ten feet down, probably a
little farther, some of them,but we go down there and uh sand
dollars.
Oh, sand dollars are everywhere.
Yeah, we used to go down, godown and and you go dive down
there and get sand dollars.
Yeah, that's cool.
Bleach really cool ones.
Yeah.
Well, you know, some of them, Imean, only only a couple of them
(38:33):
because you know, I didn't likeI don't it's not really you're
doing anything with them.
Right, right.
So I don't I don't like takingaway from like the nature and
stuff.
I mean, I like to go down thereand see them and then you know
you kind of look at them andthen put them back.
But no, I don't I mean, as faras bleaching them, no, not
really.
I mean, I was never into thatbecause I wasn't doing anything
with them.
What are you gonna do?
You set that shit on the s onthe on the shelf?
(38:54):
You put some sand in a littleglass thing, you put some shells
in it.
SPEAKER_02 (38:58):
I'll just put it back on the side.
These are my memories of thisbeach.
Right.
That's what people do.
They collect sand and put themin their house in a little cup
and be like, oh, I want avacation right here.
This is some sand.
Clear water was amazing.
SPEAKER_01 (39:11):
Yeah, it was amazing.
I took this from it.
So also you have Coquina Beach,Bradenton.
I love Bradenton.
Yeah, you've been in Bradentonarea?
I haven't been to any of thesebeaches.
Yeah, Bradenton is is amazingtoo.
All these areas in Florida noware so grown up over the years.
I mean, there's so much uh somuch growth everywhere.
(39:32):
But they still, these beachesare still amazing.
Bradenton Beach is still it'samazing too.
I haven't met a beach that Ididn't like, first of all.
Well, especially on that side ofthe that side of the um on that
side of the state.
SPEAKER_02 (39:44):
Yeah.
Really good.
Yeah.
You know, you know, the beach Ilike is up north in Florida,
which is Destin.
Yeah.
Dude, I'm never you're talkingabout amazing, amazing, amazing
sand.
Yep.
The sand is like powder.
I had never ever experiencedthat in my life until I got to
(40:04):
Destin.
I was like, and I'd been all theway up, like from now from
Destin all the way down thecoast, going all the way through
Tampa, clear water, going toFort Myers, you know, all the
way down and freaking into thekeys, you know, and you look at
all those different beaches andstuff and how the sand changes
and stuff.
That beach up there in north,like the Pensacola Destin, dude,
(40:27):
such nice sand.
It is beautiful.
SPEAKER_01 (40:30):
So we talked about all the nice beach areas, the
nice white sand.
Now, if you were going for ifyou were going to party in
nightlife, yeah, where?
SPEAKER_02 (40:42):
Back in the day, clear water, right?
Okay, yeah, but now if I wasgoing to party, you're going to
South Beach.
South Beach.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, really, most of thebeaches have like chilled out
now.
Did you ever go did you ever goout there when you were young?
SPEAKER_01 (40:57):
South Beach?
I never did the South Beach.
I did Fort Lauderdale, though.
Man, I did I used to do thatSouth Beach um nightlife.
That was freaking crazy backthen.
SPEAKER_02 (41:07):
Oh, all the Florida nightlife, man, was just nuts.
Dude, the stuff that went on inthose beaches at night crazy.
Crazy.
SPEAKER_01 (41:17):
It was, it was, man.
But you know, the thing is,South Beach never changes.
I mean, it is a party spot, um,lots of money.
Uh, if you're gonna go take alot of money, yeah, you're gonna
need it.
SPEAKER_02 (41:29):
Yeah.
Now you're definitely gonna needit.
I mean, it is not cheap.
Back in our day.
SPEAKER_01 (41:34):
Any of those, any of these places that me and Sean
talked about, man, I go.
If you've never been, but trustme on this one.
If you're looking for adestination that you haven't
been, if you have not been toAnna Marie Island, if you have
not been there, go check themout because there is so many
little areas around there.
You you can go there for 10 daysand you will we you'll love
(41:54):
every every one of them.
SPEAKER_02 (41:56):
The coolest thing about the Florida beaches for me
is that there's so many that youjust you never run out of
beaches.
Nope.
Like it's it's like I can godown and be still like I haven't
been to all these beachesmyself.
I like you can go down to uhFlorida and see new beaches and
experiences.
It is it's amazing, and they allare all a little different, a
(42:19):
little different, but uh I'mstill saying on the golf side.
SPEAKER_01 (42:22):
Yeah.
Let's go to Randall Globe, man.
All right, man.
Hey, a flight returned back toDulles International Airport
after a passenger's laptop fellinto the cargo bin on the
sidewall.
I've never had that shit happen,but I I can tell you, I can
understand how it happened.
Yeah.
Because they they they must havehad they must have had a that
that plastic insert wellseparated.
SPEAKER_02 (42:45):
So like down in the planes, like sp specific models.
And I know Boeings, like on thefloor right there, you have all
those vents.
Right.
Those vents are coveringliterally gaps in the floor that
are um that go down into theside walls of the plane right
down there.
Right.
And if those things get shiftedaround, which we've seen them
(43:05):
like pastors kick the walls,whatever, and they start moving
around, whatever, and they come,they get slid open.
I can see how a laptop goes, youknow, gets stuck down there.
There's a gap.
What people don't understandabout the story, too, is that
the biggest fear of this thing,and the reason why this flight
turned around is that lithiumbattery fire.
(43:26):
Absolutely.
So now you got a lithium batteryin the sidewall of a plane that
we can't even get to.
SPEAKER_01 (43:33):
Could fight that fire, that runaway would be
nasty.
SPEAKER_02 (43:35):
Yeah.
And and here's the thing likethey're getting ready to go over
the ocean on this flight.
So Captain made the rightdecision, like turn around and
be like, we gotta get this, wegotta get this out of there
because uh we need to keep incontrol of the flight.
SPEAKER_01 (43:49):
Yeah, because you don't know if if that can if
that computer was turned on andit overheats, sitting next to
other components that are hot,then it has a runaway.
Yeah, bad, that would be a badsituation.
SPEAKER_02 (44:00):
Dude, you know, you and I have been on planes and we
can go on on and on for ninedays talking about shit people
lose on the planes and cracksand crevices in the plane and
lose her shit.
Earbuds.
Earbuds are the worst.
Oh my god.
Those things drop out ofpeople's ears every day and they
bounce to the craziest spots.
SPEAKER_01 (44:21):
You know the craziest thing I ever found?
This lady, this lady had hadlost a diamond bracelet.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Do you know how the track of theseating with the seats are
locked in?
You know how that's a littlerail that goes down the little
rail covered up.
Yeah.
So she lost this bracelet andnobody can find it.
Well, I'm looking, I'm lookingat this thing and I'm like,
(44:41):
where the hell this thing at?
Sean, I'm not kidding you.
I seen this little bitty dot, itwas like a glimmer in this
track.
And I'm like, there's no way,man.
I got a stir stick.
And I pulled that stir stick andI went in there and it was the
clasp.
And I pulled that thing out.
It was a big ass diamondbracelet, had fallen in the
track of that and slid back.
Wow.
If it if it would have gone backjust a little bit farther, I
(45:03):
would have never seen the clasp.
It would have sat in there for20 some years.
Probably that that thing wouldhave gone to an airplane check.
Airplane graveyard.
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (45:12):
Could have possibly, right.
SPEAKER_01 (45:14):
Until they actually pulled these.
I mean, somebody would have hadsomebody would have found
something in there.
Uh it's like uh a littletreasure.
SPEAKER_02 (45:22):
Crazy, right?
I mean lots of there's lots oflittle unfound treasures on the
plane.
SPEAKER_01 (45:27):
Yeah.
I mean, but the for something tofall in that little bit of
track, and trust me, when Seanwas telling you about the
earbuds, oh my god, we everyday.
SPEAKER_02 (45:35):
We had an experience, G and I, where we
were on a flight where a dudewas sitting in first class seat
and he lost his hearing aid.
Yeah.
Dropped out of the seat anddropped into the cracks of where
like the trade table area is,yeah.
And got stuck down between alittle hole, little tiny hole in
the seat.
We're like shining a flashlight.
(45:55):
We could see it, and we werelike doing the whole, you know,
stir stick maneuver and tryingto get it with you know, like uh
chopsticks to get that thing outof the room.
And we did.
SPEAKER_01 (46:04):
We did.
We we came up, we came up withthis little McGyver plan, man,
and we got that damn thing outof there.
Yeah, that was crazy.
That dude was very thankful forus to that was that was actually
pretty funny.
SPEAKER_02 (46:15):
A little bit more than an earbud.
SPEAKER_01 (46:16):
Yeah, you know what the airlines are doing though?
I love this.
They're stepping up, they'rehelping they're helping feed the
air traffic controllers that arebeing unpaid uh and and the
workers uh you know that aremissing their paychecks.
First time they're missing theirpaycheck, man.
SPEAKER_02 (46:32):
They got we got to get this shit together right
now.
They do, man.
I mean, it this is I don't Ihate that they're you know, and
I I don't care about thepolitics, honestly.
I don't give shit if you'releft, right, center.
I don't care.
When you get to a point wherenow you're leveraging the lives
of people out here that arehardworking, running America,
(46:54):
doing the jobs, doing what weneed them to do, and now you're
leveraging that to do, you know,like this is all like on
principle, trying to getsomething done.
Like just stop it.
SPEAKER_01 (47:04):
And these guys, all these guys that are making
decisions are getting paid, butyet all these people that we
work with every single day, TSA,and these are so many good
people, and I pass them everyday.
And you know, and this is whatdrives me.
They got bills.
They got bills, all right.
They they they've got families,they've got to get gas in their
cars.
They they they got a bunch ofstuff that they need to.
SPEAKER_02 (47:25):
They need to get this shit straightened out.
Yeah, this is this is it's it'sso out of control right now.
But you know, they need to makea law where they can't do this.
They need to come back, and whenthey come back, make laws where
you can't legally leverage thethe citizens of the United
States for for you know leveragepurposes.
(47:46):
That should be illegal.
Yeah, it's uh that's ridiculous.
I mean, for all the people thatare being affected out there, I
feel for you, man.
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (47:53):
We see them every day.
Every single day.
All right, listen, the the U.S.
has also revoked approval for 13routes by Mexican carriers into
the United States and canceledall combined passengers and
cargo flights by MexicanAirlines to the United States
from Mexico Cities, Felipe, uh,Angeles, International Airport.
(48:15):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (48:16):
Dude, it's long I guess Mexico has been doing that
to us for a while, and we'venever really done anything about
it.
Like they were not letting ushave the routes in there and
just letting Mexican Airlines dothis.
And so they finally just said,you know, enough's enough, and
they're just canceling all theflights.
So uh a lot of money you'relosing.
Yeah.
You're gonna lose a lot ofmoney.
SPEAKER_01 (48:37):
That's the best way to hit anybody is their pocket.
SPEAKER_02 (48:40):
But honestly, right now, Americans don't even be
traveling America to Mexico.
SPEAKER_01 (48:43):
No.
SPEAKER_02 (48:43):
I mean, take a take a hint from me right now.
You know, if it there's stuffgoing on in the world and it's a
threat to Americans, yeah, don'tgo to that area.
SPEAKER_01 (48:55):
Go to Palm Springs.
SPEAKER_02 (48:56):
Yeah.
Gulf.
Or Ohio.
All right.
What'd the Fed do, man?
Fed cut rates, man, uh, to uh3.754%, and uh it just dropped
at uh it was up, it's down fromuh four four to four point two
five.
And you know, the interestingthing about Fed cuts to me, like
(49:19):
you know, everybody's talkingabout uh I don't know, you know,
when you bought your house, whenyou bought your house, yeah, do
you remember what the rate waswhen you bought your mortgage
rate?
What was the mortgage rate onthe loan?
Your first loan.
It was uh 3.1.
3.1 and you bought your house?
Yeah.
Oh, see, that's phenomenal.
And most people will say, no,like 25 years ago, in fact, when
(49:40):
I bought this house we'resitting in right now, I think I
bought that house at 7.25.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I mean, the mortgage rates wereway up there.
Like I mean, it had gotten up tolike closer to like 10% at one
point.
Right.
And people weren't freaking outlike they are right now.
Yeah.
And I just don't see it ever,ever going back to a three,
(50:01):
three percent.
So what is it?
It's six point one now.
So you're saying 25 years agoyou found a three.
No, I wasn't 20 years.
I was 20.
20 years ago you found a three,it was like three, two.
SPEAKER_01 (50:12):
Yeah, I'll have to check it, but I think it was
like three, two.
SPEAKER_02 (50:14):
Yeah, because I know like I refinanced down and
finally got to a three, like Ihave mine was at three at one
point.
SPEAKER_01 (50:22):
Yeah, I think it was like three, two.
Maybe I don't know, maybe it waslike three, seven, five.
I don't know, I'll have tocheck.
SPEAKER_02 (50:27):
Yeah, it's been a long time.
But uh, yeah, anyways, mortgagerates are gonna stay there.
I mean, the the threes are notgonna be around.
They they actually talked abouthow that that three percent was
actually an anomaly, and when itdid hit the market, it kind of
messed all kinds of things upwith uh with economics and all
the stuff.
The crisis was happening therebecause uh it didn't let the
(50:49):
world like bounce itself out,you know.
Well, I hope you're wrong.
I hope you're wrong.
I hope I'm wrong too, but itain't gonna happen.
I don't think it I don't thinkit's gonna happen.
And uh 30-year mortgage rate nowis at 6.12.
And uh I just don't think 3% isgonna be seen for a many, many
years.
SPEAKER_01 (51:08):
Yeah, well, I again hope you're wrong.
SPEAKER_02 (51:12):
Why, man?
You you're not gonna mortgageanother house.
No, but I still hope you'rewrong be for other people.
SPEAKER_01 (51:16):
Oh, okay, gotcha.
I mean, you know, six point one,I mean, it's still I hope you're
wrong for other people.
SPEAKER_02 (51:22):
6.1 is my point is 6.1 isn't too bad.
People are like frantic about6.1.
SPEAKER_01 (51:28):
Still hope you're wrong.
SPEAKER_02 (51:29):
As as a going out charging their dinner on a on a
credit card that's like 25%.
Yeah.

Highly recommend anybody thatwants patio furniture, check out
those Amish dudes, they're good.
Yeah.
(05:56):
The other thing, man, thathappened was I watched one of
the most intense movies thattook me straight back to my
military days, This House ofDynamite.
Have you seen this yet?
No, dude.
I'm uh look, listen, everybodythat's out there, if you want
some exhilarating shit, and Idon't care who you are, you
don't even have to beex-military.
(06:18):
If you wanted some exhilaratingshit that takes you back to Cold
War days, that nuclear, like welived it.
We've lived this in ourlifetime.
Like there was a time in ourlife where it was like, is there
gonna be a nuclear attack?
Right?
Right.
Like that was like an everydayfeeling for us when we were a
kid, right?
When we were younger, like thatwas like, you know, the detente
(06:40):
of you know, that whole nuclearthing was happening.
But this new movie is theperspective of like all of a
sudden there's a freakingnuclear missile coming at the
United States, and what are wegonna do about it?
And it goes through thisperspective of like everything
that's supposed to happen.
(07:00):
Like, well, you know, likepresident gets involved, and
they got the football, and thefootball has all the codes to
the nuclear launch codes and allthat stuff.
Like they go through that wholeentire scenario from the guys
that are in the silos that areshooting off you know rockets to
intercept those nuclear missilesand stuff like that.
But what it took for me was whatmade it so real for me was like
(07:23):
I have that previous previousexperience in the military of
working around all that stuffand being in those like command
centers and seeing all thatnuclear, like uh how we protect
the United States and how thiswhole thing shakes out.
It's a cool movie, it's pretty,it's pretty realistic.
And um, I'm not gonna do aspoiler alert or anything like
(07:44):
that, like tell anybody any moreabout the movie than it, but it
is so intense, and it it it goesall, I mean, it just keeps
going, and you're gonna be onthe edge of your seat.
I mean, you're gonna have avisceral reaction to this movie.
And there's just nobody watchingthis.
If you don't, you're not human.
So where'd you watch it on?
(08:04):
Where'd you talk about?
Where did you see it?
I mean in my home theater.
There's a big screen with aprojector, and then I sat in
this chair and I watched it.
Oh, you're talking about thechannel I saw it on.
What it was on?
Like Netflix?
I I'm looking for something tohit on that.
I believe it was Netflix.
(08:26):
You knew exactly what I wasasking you.
The movie is House of Dynamite.
Google it, people.
SPEAKER_01 (08:30):
See, okay, but see, everybody would have wanna know.
Hey, it was on Netflix.
I believe it was on Netflix,yeah.
See, and you had to do yourlittle smart ass thing, right?
You couldn't just go, hey gee,it's on Netflix.
Everyone out there enjoyed that.
I watched it on my uh my bigscreen TV and I did this.
Yeah, it's smart ass.
I like hit the remote on.
Yeah, whatever.
(08:50):
Now I ain't watching it justbecause you wouldn't even tell
me it was on Netflix.
SPEAKER_02 (08:54):
I'm gonna tell you right now, it was one of the
most freaking emotional, crazymovies I've watched in a long
time.
And I mean, I got on the edge ofmy seat and I was like, whoa.
This, I mean, this will get yourheart racing, get you like the
whole thing.
But here's the other thing thattied into the the movie, okay,
that I thought was, and and whenyou watch it, just pay attention
(09:17):
to this little bit thing.
Every time, and and now I'm backto airlines, every time we're in
a situation where you're feelingthreatened by this is a life and
death thing that's getting readyto happen.
What's the first thing thatpeople do?
(09:39):
The first thing that people doand anybody, I don't care who it
is.
What's a normal reaction whenyou're in a life-threatening
situation?
Most people they'll run.
They'll run, but a lot of peoplewant to call their loved ones.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I get that.
So like 9-11.
Yeah.
How many like all therecordings?
How many people like on theplanes try to get the colour?
SPEAKER_01 (10:02):
Oh, you mean you mean when when they're gonna
die, when they oh that lastmoment of death.
SPEAKER_02 (10:06):
That's what I mean by like there's a
life-threatening thing.
SPEAKER_01 (10:10):
So no, a life-threatening thing could be
someone coming at you and yourunning in the opposite
direction.
If you're saying that that it'snot a good thing.
SPEAKER_02 (10:19):
No, they're thinking they're thinking like life is
over here in uh soon, and whatis what am I gonna do about it?
Not them defending themselves.
That's a little bit differentexplanation.
But this movie goes heavily intothat and pay attention to that
when you're watching it.
It is it's pretty interestinghow you like you know that uh
just like you're talking aboutthat flight or fight reaction.
(10:39):
Like, am I am I going to reactlike this and I'm gonna freaking
try to like solve it and keepdoing what I need to do, do my
job, or am I going to callcollapse and try to and and and
give up?
Nope.
Right?
Yeah, I get it.
So it was it's a dude, it yourmind's gonna be like spinning on
(11:00):
this movie.

about, you know, hot chicks andyou know, getting our
testosterone all worked up andblah blah blah, and talking

Here we go again in and out, inand out of bathrooms.
I'm gonna tell you this, and Iwant the guys to listen because
(17:05):
I'm straight out tired of everysingle time I go in there.
80% of you guys don't wash yourflippin' hands when you come out
of the bathroom.
Nasty.
That is disgusting.
80%.
I mean, you just walk right bythe freaking uh the right by the
sink, soap, wash your damnhands.
That is that's the mostdisgusting thing.
SPEAKER_02 (17:24):
It's disgusting, man.
Dude, I I was just in the youknow, we drove back and forth uh
Indiana and all this stuff, andwe we have this like favorite
like truck stop we stop at.
These truckers come here, man,they're like showering in the
sinks and shit.
That's so gross that is so in afreaking truck stop bathroom.
(17:47):
They're like, you know, blowingtheir nose and freaking picking
their face, looking in themirror and all that shit, like
all kinds of yeah, dude, allthat shit.
Like right there in this publicbathroom, you're like, ugh.
Yeah.
And then you know what this is afunny thing that happened too.
So in that same bathroom, I goin there and you know, step up
to like the 15 urinals that areall lined up there, and then the
(18:10):
bottom of the freaking urinal,right, dude, somebody had
crumped up this little piece ofpaper, and you look down, and it
looks like looks like a crumpledup$100 bill.
And it's and people have beenpissing on it.
But if somebody had somebody hadphotoshoot copied a freaking
hundred dollar bill, crumpledup, and threw it in the bottom
of the urinal, hoping somebody'sgonna pick that shit up.
(18:33):
That's gross.
I literally it uh it gave me onepause.
Like I turned the corner, Ilooked down, I'm like, damn, is
that a hundred dollar bill?
SPEAKER_01 (18:40):
And you know somebody did, and it looked like
look at dude.
That one person probably didwash his hands.
I'm sorry, I I had to beat up onour gender a little bit today
because I mean have having todeal with having to deal with
that on the jump seat and thenhaving to walk through the
airports and see that, yeah.
(19:01):
I I'm like, I I understand whywomen don't like us sometimes.
Yeah, man.
A lot of times.
SPEAKER_02 (19:06):
They're so nasty.
Don't be you can't be nasty andbe like wanting to like
cohabitate with uh the oppositesex.
Yeah.
Or with the same sex, orwhatever you're into.
But just you can't be nasty.
You yeah, that that was justnasty.
SPEAKER_01 (19:21):
But I was talking to I was talking to a flight
attendant, and uh we got in thisconversation uh and and we were
talking about what actuallychanged um the the uh sex
discrimination in the airlineindustry with women.
Which years ago.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (19:38):
So you're talking about what got rid of the hot
pans and the sexy flightattendants that used to be
flying around in the middle.
SPEAKER_01 (19:44):
No, no, no, no.
That before we're gonna get tothat too.
But um no, the it was theMcDonald lawsuit.
Now, this was a lawsuit that wasum that actually changed the
airline industry forever.
It was back in the 1960s andearly 70s.
And what were they changing?
It was the the sexist employmentpolicies for flight attendants,
and and back then, you know, wewere called st stewardess,
(20:05):
stewy.
Stewardesses.
SPEAKER_02 (20:08):
Right, wasn't it was like uh back then it was only
female, right?
But and and you couldn't bemarried.
So there was no male.
No.
Period.
You had to be hot and sexy andsingle.
SPEAKER_01 (20:18):
Yeah.
Not you.
That don't fly today.
But no, it it it was just youhad to be unmarried.
And what uh and what happened assoon as they got married, they
got fired.
Wow.
So she was so this uh last nameMcDonald went and she fought and
uh and and got uh this thischange, it got the lost change.
(20:40):
And what it was is that it wasuh it was uh several attendants
sued under the title of TitleVII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, which bans employmentdiscrimination based on sex.
Well, that makes sense.
That's how me and you got it.
They won.
Yeah, they did.
SPEAKER_02 (20:57):
And and Sean and G got a career.
SPEAKER_01 (21:00):
So it was the end of the discriminatory no marriage
rule.
So they what what it was is thatthey tried to only make it for
this specific person and itended up being a class action.
So that what they had to do isthere was a group they had to
actually hire them back thatgive them the option of coming
back to work.
So I imagine they had to gothrough training and everything,
(21:22):
but they they they had the rightto come back and and work as
flight attendants again.
As it should be.
Yeah.
And then uh then, then there'sme and you, the evolution, the
evolution, yeah.
So I was I was like, oh, this iskind of fun because you you go
from this and then you get intothe evolution of what a flight
attendant used to be like.
SPEAKER_02 (21:42):
Yeah.
Nurses, yeah, sexy, right,single women.
The training was unbelievable.
You know, they encouraged you toflirt with the passengers.
Yep.
Right.
It was all about it was verysexism.
SPEAKER_01 (21:57):
They had the yeah, they had they had the um the the
silver trays, the lined linens,everything.
Right.
Right.
I mean, uh you you had to be anurse.
Yep.
Professionalism, your hair,makeup, your weight.
SPEAKER_02 (22:14):
Yeah, all that stuff.
You know what fascinates meabout this whole thing that
you're talking about is like sothat history happened here in
the United States, but thathistory still goes on in the
world.
Right.
So a lot of people don't realizethat in our in our business.
Like when we're talking aboutthese other other countries and
stuff, like the United States,we have all these rules and laws
(22:36):
about you know discrimination,whereas n a lot of countries
don't hire flight attendants,they contract them.
Right.
So many, many of the carriersthat are out there that people
like enjoy.
SPEAKER_01 (22:49):
Yeah.
They stay on compounds,actually.
SPEAKER_02 (22:52):
Yeah, they are contracted and at a certain age
they're dismissed.
Yeah, they're gone.
Yeah, they're you're gone.
You can't work in these specificairlines past a certain age.
So they got this same same typeof thing happening.
SPEAKER_01 (23:06):
It's actually really crazy.
If if people really knew, likeon the on the international
carriers, how it works, yeah,they they would just be blown
away.
SPEAKER_02 (23:14):
Well, tell them about some of it.
Just like like, I mean, it islike there are airlines out
there in the world right nowwhere when a flight attendant
goes to work, she has to line upin a line like in a military
style and be inspected by thepilots.
SPEAKER_01 (23:31):
Oh yeah.
Well, they they are there's alsothere's also they they got to
show up like um four hours priorto a flight.
Then they have to go throughthis whole check-in system, then
they have to go to through a anappearance regimen to where they
have to walk into a room,they're they're checked for
every little bitty thing thatthat and if any part of their
uniform, any part of theirmakeup, their hair is out of
(23:52):
place, it's is immediatelyfixed.
Their bags are taken from them,they're they're put into a
container because they don'twant them their bags with them.
They only want one small uh bagwith them.
Whatever they need, require dutyitems.
Right.
Then they go in and they have abriefing room with their crew.
Then they get positionedassigned to them in that
(24:13):
briefing room.
Right.
Then after that briefing,they're required to go to
another briefing with theirpilots.
Then they have that briefing,then they have to go into the
airplanes and start their thisis all four hours out.
Yeah.
Before before they're before theflight even leaves.
SPEAKER_02 (24:31):
But the the phenomenal thing about that
whole thing, that story is thatthis isn't actually happening in
the world right now.
Right.
Like this is like in the UnitedStates, we have all these great
laws that protect all this stuffand give us the ability to have
these uh privileges to do allthese different jobs now and
stuff, whereas we have we werethere and realized our ways were
(24:53):
bad.
Right.
And then now, you know, theseother countries, there's these
third world countries and stuff,they still are doing this stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (24:59):
Yeah.
You go into their bathrooms onan airplane and they're
spotless.
SPEAKER_02 (25:02):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (25:02):
Right?
There's no there's nothing onthe floor.
You go into ours, it looks likethe marathon station.
SPEAKER_02 (25:09):
It does, man.
You ain't getting down there andcleaning.
You know what the crazy stuffabout that?
Like you're talking about thebathrooms, like that that last
trip I was on, dude.
The first thing that happened onthe flight was the bathroom.
The bathroom theft washappening.
You know how we have all theextra nice lotions and face
sprays and stuff on the likesome like as soon as the plane
(25:31):
took off, somebody went thereand cleared it all out.
Yeah, it's gone.
Stole everything.
First person is like, I'm justgonna stick in my pocket.
Unbelievable.
SPEAKER_01 (25:40):
Yeah, man, it's crazy.
But I mean, this is these areall happening.
But we do have I I I tell you onthat, you know, on the on those
wide body planes, we do have anincredible stain remover in
there.
Have you ever have you ever usedthat?
I have not used it.
Let me tell you something.
The stain remover, I'm nottelling you to remove it, but
the stain remover that's onthose planes is really, really
(26:03):
good.
Really good.
So, yeah, don't take it outunless you need it.
Right.
But it's in there.
You don't have to keep it, justuse it.
So, anyway, we're gonna go on.
So, we had the glamorous life ofthe professional uh revered
nurses that they and then wecame on to this one.
The 70s started the hot pants.
Yeah, many skirts.
You gotta move your tail, go, goboots.
(26:26):
That's right.
Sky sluts have hit the air.
Yep.
SPEAKER_02 (26:30):
You got it.
Right?
They were hanging on the wingsand the engines, the Nancy
Sinatras of the airway.
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (26:36):
That was it, man.
Those that would that was a hotera, man.
SPEAKER_02 (26:43):

SPEAKER_01 (26:43):
That was very now.
I couldn't imagine you in nogo-go boots.
Dude, you don't want to seethat.
Nope.
Nope.
That's a nightmare.
But yeah, the 70s, the hotpants, yeah.
And then after that, we wentinto the business traveler.
Because, you know, we usuallythat's about time me and you
came in.
Right.
Business traveler, right?
Gotta have the suit, tie,everything, sharp, you know,
(27:05):

Everybody come to the airport,dressed up, yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (27:08):
All that stuff.
Family travel.
Yeah.
It was a little wholesome place.
SPEAKER_01 (27:13):
We had to get weighed in.
SPEAKER_02 (27:14):
It was kind of like a little privilege to fly.
SPEAKER_01 (27:16):

SPEAKER_02 (27:57):
Yeah, they weighed us when we first got hired.
Like um when I first got likehired, they I remember them
putting us on the scale andsaying, you know, but you guys
saw the picture on Facebook.
You know, we weren't weighingtoo much back then.
SPEAKER_01 (28:11):
No.
No, we didn't have any problems.
They were having fun with thatpicture, too.
Right.
We are so doing a do-over.
I told you.
We'll get into that.
Don't get off subject.
Yeah, we're gonna do that.
But anyway, uh, so the next erawe went into, which my favorite,

SPEAKER_02 (33:18):
Spring break in its prime.
Exactly.
That's when it first started.
That's what we were we were thestarting population of all that
stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (33:25):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (33:26):
And then like generations came through and
ruined it all, and now theyfreaking ban them all from doing
all kinds of stuff.
But that we were in the prime ofit.
We were the we were the videos.

Girl, girls girls.
Girls gone wild.
Yeah, girls gone wild.
(33:47):
Yeah, and they would like takethose peach, those, uh, all
those different beaches andspots like that.
That was the prime of it all.
SPEAKER_01 (33:53):
Yeah.
I mean, when we uh I rememberwhen I used to take my dogs down
the beach all the time, too.
You just let them run.
Oh yeah.
Now, now well, because you cleanup after them, and now people uh
they ruin that too.
Right.
But Clearwater Beach, man, ohman, white sand.
If for it, I mean you just keepwalking.
SPEAKER_02 (34:11):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (34:12):
Just keep walking.
I mean, and there's so many coollittle places to go, and like if
you want to stop in and have adrink or something, or something
to eat, or a sandwich, you canjust walk right up, and there's
there's a bunch of little placesright along the right along the
beach.
SPEAKER_02 (34:24):
I love like dockside, beach side, any of
those type of places where youcan just like eat on the water,
those are always my favoriteplaces to go.
SPEAKER_01 (34:34):
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (34:35):
Doesn't matter where I'm going on vacation.
If I'm normally I go vacationwhere there's water, and where
we're water's water, I want tobe like kind of restaurant
that's like by the water.
SPEAKER_01 (34:44):
That's the way that's right.
So so let's go.
I mean, talk about the AnnaMarie Beaches.
You have the the it's a BeanPoint Beach.
The highlights of that, it has apanoramic view of both the Gulf
of America and Tampa Bay, makingit a prime spot for watching
sunsets.
I love the sunsets over theocean.
Oh, it's beautiful, man.
(35:04):
Right?
I mean, those are absolutelygorgeous.
And then you have Manatee PublicBeach.
It's uh also has uh it hasrestrooms, it has picnic areas,
and all these the great thing isall family.
Everything is family-oriented.
So you can, I mean, so take thekids down there, you're gonna
have a great time.
You're gonna have a great time.
SPEAKER_02 (35:24):
A day at the beach, that was like growing up, that
was like the a thing to do.
Like on the weekend, let's let'sgo to the beach.
Like I was out in Californiagrowing up, and let's go to the
beach.
We would like drive over fromthe valley and go over to like
Santa Cruz and stuff and go goto the beach.
We did the spend the wholeweekend up at the beach, you
know.
That that was like the familything, just laying out on the
(35:46):
beach.
SPEAKER_01 (35:46):
When we were young, it was Daytona.
Daytona was like the big placeto go, right?
Okay, and we didn't know aboutall these other ones.
These other beaches are so muchnicer.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
They are, they're so much nicer.
I mean, and and on the golfside, man, they got beautiful,
beautiful beaches.
SPEAKER_02 (36:03):
I'm not a huge um, and I'm not trying to offend
anybody out there, but I'm not ahuge Atlantic beach guy.
No, me neither.
Because in and we're talkingabout like, you know, there's no
first of all, like there's nowaves.
Like there's just not waves.
Like I grew up on the Pacific uhside, mostly seeing that in the
(36:26):
beginning of my life.
And you know, the Pacific's gotsome real waves.
I'm talking about waves, killerwaves, you know, at times.
And it that's what I thought anocean was.
Like I every time you would say,Oh, let's go to the ocean, go to
the beach.
That's what I thought.
I'd walk up the beach, I'd seegiant waves.
Right.
Right?
Yeah.
And I got to Atlantic the firsttime, and I said, Flat.
(36:49):
Where's the ocean?
Because this looks like a lake.
SPEAKER_01 (36:52):
Yeah, it's like a big extended lake.
SPEAKER_02 (36:54):
Yeah, it's like sometimes like it's calm.
Right.
I'm like, I didn't know oceansget calm like this.
Yeah, it was flat.
Yeah, it was wild, wild.
It was just like the opposite.
So basically, I guess if you ifyou're looking at this
geographically speaking, likethat must be how the beaches are
over in like Japan or you know,that that side of the world,
(37:15):
because you know, the Pacificside, the western side of the
Pacific is the you know, NorthAmerican coast and Asian coast
over there, so they must nothave giant waves over there,
unless they got tsunamis comingin.
SPEAKER_01 (37:29):
But when you go, when you go on these beaches and
you go on the Atlantic side likethat, and then you come from
like clear water, clear water,you see the white sand.
Yeah.
And you come to the other one,it's like a gray.
Yeah.
Right?
Right.
And you're like, well, thisone's and it's not, but you're
looking at this one as like thisis dirty.
Yeah.
Right?
I mean, you look at you look atclear water, you're gonna think,
(37:49):
man, that's a clean beach.
SPEAKER_02 (37:50):
Yeah.
I mean, there's it's interestinghow how the whatever the the
animals in the ocean make up thebeaches, what's in the beach,
right?
So the the shell, fish, and thedifferent things that are in the
ocean make up what's out there.
That's what sand is, all brokenup shells and crushed up.
SPEAKER_01 (38:11):
Anne Marie Island, man.
I when we were younger, Sean, weused to go down there and we
used to dive it probably eightto ten feet down, probably a
little farther, some of them,but we go down there and uh sand
dollars.
Oh, sand dollars are everywhere.
Yeah, we used to go down, godown and and you go dive down
there and get sand dollars.
Yeah, that's cool.
Bleach really cool ones.
Yeah.
Well, you know, some of them, Imean, only only a couple of them
(38:33):
because you know, I didn't likeI don't it's not really you're
doing anything with them.
Right, right.
So I don't I don't like takingaway from like the nature and
stuff.
I mean, I like to go down thereand see them and then you know
you kind of look at them andthen put them back.
But no, I don't I mean, as faras bleaching them, no, not
really.
I mean, I was never into thatbecause I wasn't doing anything
with them.
What are you gonna do?
You set that shit on the s onthe on the shelf?
(38:54):
You put some sand in a littleglass thing, you put some shells
in it.
SPEAKER_02 (38:58):
I'll just put it back on the side.
These are my memories of thisbeach.
Right.
That's what people do.
They collect sand and put themin their house in a little cup
and be like, oh, I want avacation right here.
This is some sand.
Clear water was amazing.
SPEAKER_01 (39:11):
Yeah, it was amazing.
I took this from it.
So also you have Coquina Beach,Bradenton.
I love Bradenton.
Yeah, you've been in Bradentonarea?
I haven't been to any of thesebeaches.
Yeah, Bradenton is is amazingtoo.
All these areas in Florida noware so grown up over the years.
I mean, there's so much uh somuch growth everywhere.
(39:32):
But they still, these beachesare still amazing.
Bradenton Beach is still it'samazing too.
I haven't met a beach that Ididn't like, first of all.
Well, especially on that side ofthe that side of the um on that
side of the state.
SPEAKER_02 (39:44):
Yeah.
Really good.
Yeah.
You know, you know, the beach Ilike is up north in Florida,
which is Destin.
Yeah.
Dude, I'm never you're talkingabout amazing, amazing, amazing
sand.
Yep.
The sand is like powder.
I had never ever experiencedthat in my life until I got to
(40:04):
Destin.
I was like, and I'd been all theway up, like from now from
Destin all the way down thecoast, going all the way through
Tampa, clear water, going toFort Myers, you know, all the
way down and freaking into thekeys, you know, and you look at
all those different beaches andstuff and how the sand changes
and stuff.
That beach up there in north,like the Pensacola Destin, dude,
(40:27):
such nice sand.
It is beautiful.
SPEAKER_01 (40:30):
So we talked about all the nice beach areas, the
nice white sand.
Now, if you were going for ifyou were going to party in
nightlife, yeah, where?
SPEAKER_02 (40:42):
Back in the day, clear water, right?
Okay, yeah, but now if I wasgoing to party, you're going to
South Beach.
South Beach.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, really, most of thebeaches have like chilled out
now.
Did you ever go did you ever goout there when you were young?
SPEAKER_01 (40:57):
South Beach?
I never did the South Beach.
I did Fort Lauderdale, though.
Man, I did I used to do thatSouth Beach um nightlife.
That was freaking crazy backthen.
SPEAKER_02 (41:07):
Oh, all the Florida nightlife, man, was just nuts.
Dude, the stuff that went on inthose beaches at night crazy.
Crazy.
SPEAKER_01 (41:17):
It was, it was, man.
But you know, the thing is,South Beach never changes.
I mean, it is a party spot, um,lots of money.
Uh, if you're gonna go take alot of money, yeah, you're gonna
need it.
SPEAKER_02 (41:29):
Yeah.
Now you're definitely gonna needit.
I mean, it is not cheap.
Back in our day.
SPEAKER_01 (41:34):
Any of those, any of these places that me and Sean
talked about, man, I go.
If you've never been, but trustme on this one.
If you're looking for adestination that you haven't
been, if you have not been toAnna Marie Island, if you have
not been there, go check themout because there is so many
little areas around there.
You you can go there for 10 daysand you will we you'll love
(41:54):
every every one of them.
SPEAKER_02 (41:56):
The coolest thing about the Florida beaches for me
is that there's so many that youjust you never run out of
beaches.
Nope.
Like it's it's like I can godown and be still like I haven't
been to all these beachesmyself.
I like you can go down to uhFlorida and see new beaches and
experiences.
It is it's amazing, and they allare all a little different, a
(42:19):
little different, but uh I'mstill saying on the golf side.
SPEAKER_01 (42:22):
Yeah.
Let's go to Randall Globe, man.
All right, man.
Hey, a flight returned back toDulles International Airport
after a passenger's laptop fellinto the cargo bin on the
sidewall.
I've never had that shit happen,but I I can tell you, I can
understand how it happened.
Yeah.
Because they they they must havehad they must have had a that
that plastic insert wellseparated.
SPEAKER_02 (42:45):
So like down in the planes, like sp specific models.
And I know Boeings, like on thefloor right there, you have all
those vents.
Right.
Those vents are coveringliterally gaps in the floor that
are um that go down into theside walls of the plane right
down there.
Right.
And if those things get shiftedaround, which we've seen them
(43:05):
like pastors kick the walls,whatever, and they start moving
around, whatever, and they come,they get slid open.
I can see how a laptop goes, youknow, gets stuck down there.
There's a gap.
What people don't understandabout the story, too, is that
the biggest fear of this thing,and the reason why this flight
turned around is that lithiumbattery fire.
(43:26):
Absolutely.
So now you got a lithium batteryin the sidewall of a plane that
we can't even get to.
SPEAKER_01 (43:33):
Could fight that fire, that runaway would be
nasty.
SPEAKER_02 (43:35):
Yeah.
And and here's the thing likethey're getting ready to go over
the ocean on this flight.
So Captain made the rightdecision, like turn around and
be like, we gotta get this, wegotta get this out of there
because uh we need to keep incontrol of the flight.
SPEAKER_01 (43:49):
Yeah, because you don't know if if that can if
that computer was turned on andit overheats, sitting next to
other components that are hot,then it has a runaway.
Yeah, bad, that would be a badsituation.
SPEAKER_02 (44:00):
Dude, you know, you and I have been on planes and we
can go on on and on for ninedays talking about shit people
lose on the planes and cracksand crevices in the plane and
lose her shit.
Earbuds.
Earbuds are the worst.
Oh my god.
Those things drop out ofpeople's ears every day and they
bounce to the craziest spots.
SPEAKER_01 (44:21):
You know the craziest thing I ever found?
This lady, this lady had hadlost a diamond bracelet.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Do you know how the track of theseating with the seats are
locked in?
You know how that's a littlerail that goes down the little
rail covered up.
Yeah.
So she lost this bracelet andnobody can find it.
Well, I'm looking, I'm lookingat this thing and I'm like,
(44:41):
where the hell this thing at?
Sean, I'm not kidding you.
I seen this little bitty dot, itwas like a glimmer in this
track.
And I'm like, there's no way,man.
I got a stir stick.
And I pulled that stir stick andI went in there and it was the
clasp.
And I pulled that thing out.
It was a big ass diamondbracelet, had fallen in the
track of that and slid back.
Wow.
If it if it would have gone backjust a little bit farther, I
(45:03):
would have never seen the clasp.
It would have sat in there for20 some years.
Probably that that thing wouldhave gone to an airplane check.
Airplane graveyard.
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (45:12):
Could have possibly, right.
SPEAKER_01 (45:14):
Until they actually pulled these.
I mean, somebody would have hadsomebody would have found
something in there.
Uh it's like uh a littletreasure.
SPEAKER_02 (45:22):
Crazy, right?
I mean lots of there's lots oflittle unfound treasures on the
plane.
SPEAKER_01 (45:27):
Yeah.
I mean, but the for something tofall in that little bit of
track, and trust me, when Seanwas telling you about the
earbuds, oh my god, we everyday.
SPEAKER_02 (45:35):
We had an experience, G and I, where we
were on a flight where a dudewas sitting in first class seat
and he lost his hearing aid.
Yeah.
Dropped out of the seat anddropped into the cracks of where
like the trade table area is,yeah.
And got stuck down between alittle hole, little tiny hole in
the seat.
We're like shining a flashlight.
(45:55):
We could see it, and we werelike doing the whole, you know,
stir stick maneuver and tryingto get it with you know, like uh
chopsticks to get that thing outof the room.
And we did.
SPEAKER_01 (46:04):
We did.
We we came up, we came up withthis little McGyver plan, man,
and we got that damn thing outof there.
Yeah, that was crazy.
That dude was very thankful forus to that was that was actually
pretty funny.
SPEAKER_02 (46:15):
A little bit more than an earbud.
SPEAKER_01 (46:16):
Yeah, you know what the airlines are doing though?
I love this.
They're stepping up, they'rehelping they're helping feed the
air traffic controllers that arebeing unpaid uh and and the
workers uh you know that aremissing their paychecks.
First time they're missing theirpaycheck, man.
SPEAKER_02 (46:32):
They got we got to get this shit together right
now.
They do, man.
I mean, it this is I don't Ihate that they're you know, and
I I don't care about thepolitics, honestly.
I don't give shit if you'releft, right, center.
I don't care.
When you get to a point wherenow you're leveraging the lives
of people out here that arehardworking, running America,
(46:54):
doing the jobs, doing what weneed them to do, and now you're
leveraging that to do, you know,like this is all like on
principle, trying to getsomething done.
Like just stop it.
SPEAKER_01 (47:04):
And these guys, all these guys that are making
decisions are getting paid, butyet all these people that we
work with every single day, TSA,and these are so many good
people, and I pass them everyday.
And you know, and this is whatdrives me.
They got bills.
They got bills, all right.
They they they've got families,they've got to get gas in their
cars.
They they they got a bunch ofstuff that they need to.
SPEAKER_02 (47:25):
They need to get this shit straightened out.
Yeah, this is this is it's it'sso out of control right now.
But you know, they need to makea law where they can't do this.
They need to come back, and whenthey come back, make laws where
you can't legally leverage thethe citizens of the United
States for for you know leveragepurposes.
(47:46):
That should be illegal.
Yeah, it's uh that's ridiculous.
I mean, for all the people thatare being affected out there, I
feel for you, man.
Yep.
SPEAKER_01 (47:53):
We see them every day.
Every single day.
All right, listen, the the U.S.
has also revoked approval for 13routes by Mexican carriers into
the United States and canceledall combined passengers and
cargo flights by MexicanAirlines to the United States
from Mexico Cities, Felipe, uh,Angeles, International Airport.
(48:15):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (48:16):
Dude, it's long I guess Mexico has been doing that
to us for a while, and we'venever really done anything about
it.
Like they were not letting ushave the routes in there and
just letting Mexican Airlines dothis.
And so they finally just said,you know, enough's enough, and
they're just canceling all theflights.
So uh a lot of money you'relosing.
Yeah.
You're gonna lose a lot ofmoney.
SPEAKER_01 (48:37):
That's the best way to hit anybody is their pocket.
SPEAKER_02 (48:40):
But honestly, right now, Americans don't even be
traveling America to Mexico.
SPEAKER_01 (48:43):
No.
SPEAKER_02 (48:43):
I mean, take a take a hint from me right now.
You know, if it there's stuffgoing on in the world and it's a
threat to Americans, yeah, don'tgo to that area.
SPEAKER_01 (48:55):
Go to Palm Springs.
SPEAKER_02 (48:56):
Yeah.
Gulf.
Or Ohio.
All right.
What'd the Fed do, man?
Fed cut rates, man, uh, to uh3.754%, and uh it just dropped
at uh it was up, it's down fromuh four four to four point two
five.
And you know, the interestingthing about Fed cuts to me, like
(49:19):
you know, everybody's talkingabout uh I don't know, you know,
when you bought your house, whenyou bought your house, yeah, do
you remember what the rate waswhen you bought your mortgage
rate?
What was the mortgage rate onthe loan?
Your first loan.
It was uh 3.1.
3.1 and you bought your house?
Yeah.
Oh, see, that's phenomenal.
And most people will say, no,like 25 years ago, in fact, when
(49:40):
I bought this house we'resitting in right now, I think I
bought that house at 7.25.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
I mean, the mortgage rates wereway up there.
Like I mean, it had gotten up tolike closer to like 10% at one
point.
Right.
And people weren't freaking outlike they are right now.
Yeah.
And I just don't see it ever,ever going back to a three,
(50:01):
three percent.
So what is it?
It's six point one now.
So you're saying 25 years agoyou found a three.
No, I wasn't 20 years.
I was 20.
20 years ago you found a three,it was like three, two.
SPEAKER_01 (50:12):
Yeah, I'll have to check it, but I think it was
like three, two.
SPEAKER_02 (50:14):
Yeah, because I know like I refinanced down and
finally got to a three, like Ihave mine was at three at one
point.
SPEAKER_01 (50:22):
Yeah, I think it was like three, two.
Maybe I don't know, maybe it waslike three, seven, five.
I don't know, I'll have tocheck.
SPEAKER_02 (50:27):
Yeah, it's been a long time.
But uh, yeah, anyways, mortgagerates are gonna stay there.
I mean, the the threes are notgonna be around.
They they actually talked abouthow that that three percent was
actually an anomaly, and when itdid hit the market, it kind of
messed all kinds of things upwith uh with economics and all
the stuff.
The crisis was happening therebecause uh it didn't let the
(50:49):
world like bounce itself out,you know.
Well, I hope you're wrong.
I hope you're wrong.
I hope I'm wrong too, but itain't gonna happen.
I don't think it I don't thinkit's gonna happen.
And uh 30-year mortgage rate nowis at 6.12.
And uh I just don't think 3% isgonna be seen for a many, many
years.
SPEAKER_01 (51:08):
Yeah, well, I again hope you're wrong.
SPEAKER_02 (51:12):
Why, man?
You you're not gonna mortgageanother house.
No, but I still hope you'rewrong be for other people.
SPEAKER_01 (51:16):
Oh, okay, gotcha.
I mean, you know, six point one,I mean, it's still I hope you're
wrong for other people.
SPEAKER_02 (51:22):
6.1 is my point is 6.1 isn't too bad.
People are like frantic about6.1.
SPEAKER_01 (51:28):
Still hope you're wrong.
SPEAKER_02 (51:29):
As as a going out charging their dinner on a on a
credit card that's like 25%.
Yeah.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
