Remember when car safety meant "try not to fall out"? Shawn kicks off this episode with a story about doing exactly that – rolling out of a moving car as a child when the door flew open during a turn. His young nieces are appropriately horrified, having grown up in an era of five-point harnesses and booster seats. This leads to a nostalgic journey through the massive station wagons and bench seats of yesteryear when fitting six kids in the backseat was standard weekend entertainment.
The conversation shifts to remarkable people in the news, specifically Johnny Kim – whose career trajectory reads like a collection of childhood dream jobs. From troubled beginnings, Kim became a Navy SEAL with 100 successful combat missions, then a Harvard-educated doctor, and now NASA's first Korean-American astronaut. While most of us struggle to master one profession, Kim collects elite careers like trading cards, exemplifying the warrior mindset in everything he pursues.
Aviation news dominates the middle section, with updates on Starlink internet being installed across commercial fleets, Newark Airport's operational nightmare (or "the armpit of the nation" as the hosts affectionately call it), and ridiculous passenger requests – including one individual who provided flight attendants with a list demanding no coffee brewing, no nuts, no fragrances, and impossibly, "no airplane fuel smells" on an aircraft. We also explore bizarre incidents like a plane diverting because the autopilot stopped working (prompting the logical question: aren't pilots supposed to fly planes?) and a baggage handler who fell asleep in the cargo hold and woke up mid-flight.
Whether you're a frequent flyer or an aviation enthusiast, this episode delivers the perfect blend of nostalgia, industry insights, and the absurdity that makes air travel simultaneously frustrating and fascinating. Subscribe now and share with your weirdest coworker – you know the one.

But you know what?
I ran into that cat here yearsago.
I was out here in myneighborhood and so I live in

So I was like I gotta see whatthis guy does.
So it turns out he's shitgolfer and I'm like, all right,

So that's exactly what happened.
We end up getting in a, youknow, like a month or so later

(05:17):
boundaries here.
So, you know, it's up to ahundred dollars, you know, plus

At the end of the round, afterhe like paid me like 150 bucks,
I was like, yeah, I only gotpart of my security back.
I'm coming after you stay.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
He's like I know he's still here no, he moved out a
long, many years ago do you knowthe one of the the funniest
things about that apartment?
I remember you were hanging outthe window and you seen this,
this brother walking down thestreet, and you yelled at him.
You said pull up your damnpants pull those damn pants up,
dude.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I never get that whole entire, you know.
Drop your pants down and yousee your drawers and all that
stuff underwear hanging out theback.
It used to drive you nuts Idon't get why, like it's so
stupid.
I saw a really cool thing oflike morgan freeman talking
about, like you know, do youunderstand the history of why
this is?
You know where this came from?
It wasn't just prison.
(06:16):
It was, like you know, becauseyou were so poor you couldn't
afford pants to actually fit you.
You know these are.
You know, I don't know we don'tneed to go there, but it's like
it was funny, though.
I mean when I was driving backhere I was like god he just took
me back to when I used to driveto that west 117th my memory of
that place that sticks out likecrazy is the night that, um, I
(06:40):
came home and then all of asudden, man, it was like there
was like 50 cop cars across thestreet from us and there was
like you couldn't come out ofyour house, nothing, it was
literally right across.
We were on corner streets here,so the other corner, all these
cops, they were like busting thedrug busts across the street
from us.
It was nothing but like youknow everybody, the drug
(07:03):
enforcement and everything.
It was crazy.
It was locked down the wholestreet but you, you were not
shocked no, I wasn't shocked herin the neighborhood, but it was
just like that's just one of mymemories.
I'm like you know what, maybetime to move it's like a warm
fuzzy.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So what's been going on with you?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
oh, you know, man, we're doing the back and forth
with the family, of course, andand all that stuff, and you know
having a great time.
It was my one of my youngnieces birthday, was she turned
six, mila.
And a shout out to Mila, but Iknow she's not, she doesn't
listen to us.
This is too way too heavy forher.
But Mila is a character man andMila was, we were, we were at
(07:42):
the at the birthday party,whatever.
And man and uh, mila was, wewere, we were at the at the
birthday party, whatever.
And she has this group offriends.
They that they're like familyfriends.
You know the all these littlegirls and it's funny because
they all have there's like twokids in each family.
So each one of the familiesthey call them by their hair
color.
So they got one family thatit's the reds, so they're all
these redheads and they get it.
(08:03):
Then they another companythey're the blondes.
And then mila and her sister,they're the brunettes.
So mila's like explaining thiswhole thing to me and she looks
up at me and she's like, oh you,you're, you're the grays.
I'm like nice, thank you, Ilove you, mila, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You know, I was going to give it to you just there
for a minute, because I wassitting there thinking the reds,
the blondes, the brunettes,that was you dating years ago.
You're talking about theselittle kids, I'm talking about
these little kids, and then nowyou're the gray hair guy.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
So the groups that come to her little birthday
party she's got the reds, thebrunettes, the blondes, and now
she's got her family, the grays,little shit, anyways, yeah.
So another thing that's sofunny is that when I show up to
Mila and Reagan is my niece'snames they love to hear Uncle
sean's stories.
So they're always like tell usa story, tell us a story.
(09:09):
And I'm like I'm always tryingto think of these like stories,
like, like I didn't realize,like all my stories are so
exciting to them.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But they were like you're like okay, honestly
though, you're animated, so yeahI'm a little animated.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
So they were like, like you know, they're like
uncle sean, tell me stories, solike I leave them.
Um, one night we were there andI said, tomorrow I'm gonna tell
you the story about me rollingout of a car.
And they're like what?
So literally like the next day,like when, the first time I see
him, they're like tell us thestory.
What's the story?
(09:41):
We've been waiting all night.
We need to know the story, likeanticipating this thing.
So then I'm like I reflect onthis story and I'm like you know
what, I go back in my day.
I go our parents.
You know we would.
We would be driving aroundthese cars and the cars back
then were like big, and I'mtalking like we had like a 57
chevy or something you know likethese, because you know how
(10:03):
like, like the interior of thecars were like massive.
Yeah, it's like a room and thena lot of the cars didn't have
seat belts.
Right like in our day we grewup, there's no seat belts
there's no such.
You get like six kids back therethere was no such thing as car
seats, nope, there was no suchthing as boosters.
Like like all this stuff andtheir mind, or like their eyes
and their mind are being totallyblown.
(10:24):
They're like what, how did youtravel, you know, how did you
get from the without this andall this stuff?
I'm telling them like thisdidn't exist.
So you got to imagine thisworld where all that didn't
exist.
And I said and so I'm in thebackseat of my car and one of
the things I love to do in mycar, like the, you know, like
between the front and back seat,was so big as a kid and there
(10:46):
was a hump on the on those cars,and that hump was like warm.
So we'd like curl up in those,like in the bottom, like on the
floor in the car, and just likedrive around.
You know, like all warm andeverything.
Yeah, so I was telling them allthis stuff and they're like wow
, like you know, they couldn'teven envision what I was talking
about.
But I said so we're drivingdown the street one day and I'm
(11:07):
sitting in the back of the carwith my parents and I'm looking
out the window and my parentsturned the corner and the door
flew open and I rolled out ofthe car and they turned around
their intersection.
I wasn't rolling out in the carin the street in the street.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
The reason I'm laughing is because I actually
left the door open one time,leaning against it.
I almost fell out too.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, I mean, that was very common back then.
You're holding on just lookingat the window and all of a
sudden the door swings open.
I went rolling out the car andluckily I didn't get hit by
other cars.
Other cars stopped and stuff.
My parents had to come up andpick me up off the ground and
get me back in the car.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Uncle Sean's rolling out of the car store.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I guess.
I guess that's why they haveseat belts and seat boosters.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
A few changes, but you know they used to load half
the neighborhood back in thosecars.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh, dude man, you could put, like all your friends
, in the back of those cars.
You could have like six sevenkids in the back seat Like we'd
all fit.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Oh well, we had a brown station wagon, so you know
when you're going to the movies, you load everybody in there.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, we were talking about that too.
Like the station wagons, likethe ones that you like, can face
each other in the back yep inthis, oh yeah right, or?
Or you'd like the family sportwagon yeah, the station where
you're gonna like sit in thething and it was rear facing so
you'd see out the back window,type of thing yeah and and uh,
if you were, if you were younger, you had to sit in the back and
face backwards.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
And you're the older kids you're facing forward.
No, we didn't have any ruleslike that, we just sat where no,
that's, that's what it was ours.
Ours was the younger ones inthe back, and Yvette and Alan
were in the front.
Oh gotcha.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, let's see, I mean me and my sister.
That was it.
So it was like sit wherever youwant to sit, but we all have
these cars.
It's so crazy.
Like we all in our generationwe grew up with this whole thing
and kids nowadays don't evenunderstand.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Like they can't even fathom, like this world.
But well, because now the carsare like little bitty match
boxes, I mean even even mine.
It's a smaller car but backthen, what did you drive in high
school?
Okay, here we go again.
I forgot crying out loud, youwalked into it.
Yeah, I, you know something.
I did that and I even knew thatI was looking at you going I
just knew that okay, let me.
Let me tell you what I drove.
I drove a 76 Monte Carlo Sport,do you?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
remember what those were?
Yeah man, Big cars, Big asscars.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But you know, that's when gas was like 98 cents a
gallon.
Right, which was expensive forus it was expensive, but you
didn't care so much about gas.
I mean, you put a few dollarsin, you could at least get home.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I mean, you put a few dollars in, you could at least
get home.
Oh yeah, that was how weoperated too, like a few dollars
at a time.
Right, it's true, I don'tremember anybody in my
generation filling up gas tanks.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
No, like four or five bucks.
You're like we can cruise forlike four or five bucks.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You got some change, man, I need to give it to you.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
We used to have this strip in Decatur.
It was El Dorado and we used togo.
There was a McDonald's at eachend of it.
It was so funny there was aMcDonald's at each end.
So you'd drive all the way downto one end.
You'd cruise from one end tothe other.
That's what our thing was,right You'd cruise.
At one end there's like thehigh schools of like Mount Zion
and Decatur They'd be over hereand at the other end you'd have
(14:24):
like Stephen, decatur andMacArthur.
That's where everybody hung outand if you ever crossed paths,
you know what I mean.
That's where the fights started.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
But we used to cruise back and forth in those big old
boat cars when we were young.
I know the weekends in smalltowns in America.
That's what the thing to do inthe weekends was to cruise back
and forth up and down thestreets, back and forth.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It was innocent, but man, it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, it was a lot of fun because you're like yelling
and honking and hooting andtalking to people along the way.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And it all started out from Uncle Sean falling out
of a car.
Yeah, that's right, All right,man.
Hey, listen, I read this storyand you know this one's cool.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
This guy's name is Johnny Kim.
Johnny Kim man I'm.
That dude is off the Richterscale, Amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I was reading this and I'm like is this dude real?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, I mean going through the like, seeing this
whole story about him andeverything and where he come
from and all this stuff, I waslike this dude is like, he's
like I.
You know, in my life I'm alwaysand I know you're the same way
like we strive to achievewhatever we want to do, like we
weren't.
We're going to go and do whatwe need to do.
Right, this cat like came from,uh, a single parent family.
(15:42):
You know dad was a wife beateror somebody a drunk, drunk,
alcoholic, all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Which is common in our day Everything against him.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Everything against him.
The guy ends up being a NavySEAL.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
To start with.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, he literally was like he wanted to be a
warrior and that part of itreally like everything he's
doing.
He's trying to be a warrior inanything he's doing.
Like people pop that vision intheir head and they think in
battle and gladiator and thattype of thing.
(16:16):
And warriors aren't always justthat person.
A warrior can be anything andany type of like shoot.
If you're striving to beexcellent.
You're a warrior.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
But first of all, and you know from being in the
military, when you first thinkof Navy SEAL, right, you think
of some muscle-bound beefed-upkilling machine, right?
Oh yeah, and that's not it withthe SEALs.
The SEALs it's a mentaltoughness, and you can be
physically bigger than everybodyelse and you could fail the
first day because your musclesgive out on you soon.
(16:50):
Sure, Right, but will yourbrain?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, I mean the military focuses and you know
SEALs are the ultimate.
You know one of the elitefighting forces out there, but
all military they're going tobreak in and try to get you into
understanding what yourlimitations are, because you
need to know what you can andcan't do, right, I mean, and and
being like physical and allthat stuff is is a good, good,
(17:15):
great thing, and being healthyand all that stuff.
But to have that mentalfortitude to understand and be
smart enough to work as a teamto achieve things.
And that's what the seal is allabout.
It's all about a team.
You're a team, you're, you're,you're like that, like that
watch.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
You know every integral part of the watch is
important and that's what sealsdo, you know when, when I was
reading this story, it madecomplete sense, though, that he
started off being a SEAL.
Yeah, okay, it did, and exactlywhat you just said, because
I've done a lot of research onthe Navy SEALs, because I love
our SEAL teams, I mean they'rejust awesome Actually, all of
(17:52):
our special forces and all ofour military, I mean I give
credit to every one of them thatserve Even you.
You know, you did plenty oftime yourself in there, but the
SEALs, that mental toughness youcan understand.
He completed 100 successfulcombat missions.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, I mean that's out First of all the mental
toughness.
That's where it comes into,like trying to handle that as
anybody, as a human being, goingon.
I mean the stuff that he saw on100 missions.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Don't even want to re-envision that If you guys
really want to see about being aNavy SEAL.
I mean, truthfully, go watchwhat it takes to be a Navy SEAL
and then watch what it is to gothrough Hell Week and I know
we're going to talk about the100 successful combat missions
but just to go through Hell Week, just to get to be a Navy SEAL,
(18:45):
and then you didn't make it.
Then I mean you made it throughthe program, but after that I
mean it just all starts afterthat.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, I mean that that first part of it, and you
know all military training.
You know you have to getthrough that initial part in
order to continue on with yourjob.
Right, like who, who can reallyhandle this job?
And that's what they're doingis they're just weeding out to
make sure who can handle thisjob, because we're getting ready
to invest millions in you.
Right, the military, like, weplay with a lot of expensive
(19:16):
equipment and they're not goingto just give that to anybody.
You need to be the right personfor the right job.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Right, and you see these guys, this guy's picture.
But what's so cool about thisis you'd think, okay, you're a
Navy SEAL, right?
I mean, that's what your jobwas.
You're a killing machine.
Well, he was a medic, I know,but it wasn't enough for him.
What'd he do after that?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, After that he didn't decide it, he's.
I'm going to go to medicalschool and went to freaking
Harvard, Harvard medical schoolbecame a doctor on freaking,
believable.
Yeah, I mean that's, that'sawesome.
I mean, like this guy, likeBilly, his succession of, like
his, uh, his career is like soamazing from a Navy SEAL to now
a doctor.
And then when he actuallyentered the program in the
(20:00):
doctor, he decided he saw alaunch during that period and
started becoming this totalspace geek and he was like you
know, I want to do that.
So he literally told HarvardMedical School hey, I signed up
to be an astronaut and if theypick me, that's when I'm leaving
(20:20):
.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
And guess what?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
They picked him.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And he is actually the first Korean-American
astronaut and he was therecipient of the Silver Star.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah.
Did you see the video with Cruztalking to him?
No, yeah, so Senator Cruz waslike you know.
He's like you know, kim, johnny, kim, here is a guy.
He's a Navy SEAL, he's a doctor, so he can kill you and he can
bring you back to life.
He goes they need me doing allthat up in the space station.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
You know, what I thought was funny, though, when
I started looking at this story,was you know how people, when
they go through their careers,they have their different
pictures.
Yeah, he's got some badasspictures.
Oh, he's got badass pictures.
I mean, he's got a Navy SEALpicture, he's got a Harvard
Medical School picture, and thenhe's got an astronaut picture.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
First of all, here's the thing Most people in the
world dream of being one thingright.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Like we all like focus on.
This is my dream, this is mydream job.
This guy keeps on flippingthrough dream jobs Like he's
doing the elite of the elite ofthe like he just keeps doing it.
I mean his next thing if Ididn't, if this guy like signed
up, I'm now going to be thepresident, I wouldn't, it
wouldn't be surprising.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
It's like he's got his own wall right.
I mean, you get your picturewall and it's like me, me and me
right, I mean, what's his nextaccomplishment after this?
If you walked in his house andyou seen those pictures, you'd
be like oh, those are funny,that's bullshit.
You're like oh yeah, you were aSEAL, you're a Harvard doctor
and then you're now an astronaut.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, I think there was a post up on the on the
internet where they were showinglike his three pictures of
different things.
They were like this is not ameme you know Exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
And you're right, it would be the first Korean
president.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, that'd be next.
Right, just set him up there,this dude was incredible, though
.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Seriously, if you guys get a chance, take a look
at this man.
I mean he is.
He's incredible Big props outto you.
I just thought those yourpictures alone got drew me into
the story because you had somereal bad-ass pictures.
Bad-ass they were.
They were really cool.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, that guy doesn't do, there's nothing he
can't accomplish.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I mean, obviously he's already proved that to
himself whatever he wants to door be, he's going to it.
But, like I said, it goes backto the very beginning of it navy
seal.
I understood it then.
I mean I, I did, I understood alittle bit more, but even even
accomplished navy seals, becausewe've had former seals that
that are pilots oh yeah going onto other careers and stuff, but
(22:55):
to three different ones likethat that's.
That was unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah, the guys like smoking through careers.
It's unbelievable.
I mean, wow, anyways man uhtalking about like space and
stuff.
Um, did you see it where thatus carriers like actually
installing star link into theirwhole entire fleet?
What's Starlink Like?
Starlink said that Elon Musk uhvideo, you know?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
what that Elon Musk video?
You know what Starlink I'm?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
sorry.
I had to do that, yeah, butStarlink is like I mean, for
those that don't know, and yougot a point like it's a internet
connectivity system that's alldone with satellites and
basically anywhere andeverywhere is going to be
streaming.
It's Elon Musk's next big, youknow.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Future.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, and so they're putting in their planes and then
everybody on the plane Ithink's eventually going to have
free internet on this plane andthey're talking about upload
speeds at 250 megabytes peraircraft, which is like so much
faster than I mean we'reprobably in by the time it all
get installed there.
We like this is slow, you know,but but now, man, what we have
(24:04):
on the aircraft now and all thedifferent systems that are
across all these differentcompanies, I mean it's so smart,
so smart.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
So they said it takes like four days to install the
system into the planes.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, whereas the current system is actually like
a couple weeks in order eachaircraft to install the system
into the planes yeah, whereasthe current system is actually
like a couple weeks in ordereach aircraft install.
So, like this system is likeultra fast, so this should be
going up pretty quick as far aslike installing across your
whole entire fleet.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
So I'm looking forward to that, like you know,
now, are they gonna pay for thatone, or are they gonna get it
for free?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
they're gonna.
They're gonna get it for free.
I they're going to, they'regoing to get it for free.
I mean, that's the whole pointof the system is like it's.
It's very cost effective.
The equipment that goes on theaircraft was like half the
weight of the old system.
It's like it's a.
It's a total upgrade.
But here's my thing about theinternet this Like, we always
(25:04):
look at the internet from aperspective of, like you know,
we, we purchased that.
We, you know, we got thatprivilege right now, and where
we're at in life, you know wecan, we can afford to do that.
But people don't understandthat there's probably about only
50% of the world that hasinternet.
And that's mind blowing whenyou think about it.
Like 50% of the world hasinternet, so there's half the
world doesn't have internet.
And they's mind-blowing whenyou think about it.
Like 50 of the world hasinternet, so there's half the
world doesn't have internet andthey don't have access.
(25:26):
And that's where musk is comingin and he's trying to give it
to everybody and it should befree.
And the internet is becoming athing there.
It should be free for everybody, like everybody should have
access to this now these the,the home systems with starlink.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Have you seen that at all?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I have not, but I mean I, I, I want to investigate
into it because we're not.
We used to be kind of remoteout where we're at right now but
we're not anymore because youknow, all the fiber optic
companies and stuff can comeinto our areas but for like
farmers and stuff that are outthere and like in these rural
areas and stuff.
I just flew with this gal thather family's big farm and I mean
(26:01):
I'm talking big farm and youknow they employ like 500 folks
on their farm.
This is a gigantic farm and uh,she was talking about how they
don't have internet access outthere and it's super slow and
they get spotty and all thatstuff.
But this would be a perfectsystem for their farm, you know,
to be able to connect everybodyand everything.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Everybody have it, um , but on an aircraft, though if
it is half the weight, I meanjust the fuel consumption, yeah,
I mean per year of an airline.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That's unbelievable I really, I honestly think that
someday the internet will befree to everybody and everybody
should have access to it.
You know, like it's it'ssomething that it's it's so
powerful of a tool for all of usthat have the privilege of
doing having it, those 50% thatthe other 50% should have it to
as well.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Everywhere.
Yeah Well, I mean, like I said,I'm looking forward to seeing
it.
Um, and a free internet servicemeans, uh, people can actually
do something on the plane ifthey don't have entertainment.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, stop bothering us.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
All right man.
Newark has been a freakingnightmare, dude Stay away.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Beware, stay away.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
You've been told about this over and over again.
Let me tell you this summertimein Newark, every time, every
day, I walk in there, I don'tcare what day it is.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Sean, delay, delay, delay, yeah man, newark is like
the total shit show of I meanlike we always call it the
armpit of the nation.
It is Like it's right now it isso bad and there's so many
things breaking down with itright now and and the
complications are all stemmingfrom that like um runway
shutdown, that's that started itall and so they're trying to
(27:47):
like upgrade their runwaybecause newark has is like a
little tiny spot and there's somany spaces like that we fly
into that are like problem-esqueright now.
Like dc that washingtonnationals airport.
I mean that's that's kind of ashit show right now.
Like DC Washington NationalsAirport I mean that's kind of a
shit show right now too.
I mean they keep that in andout but they keep having
incident after incident.
(28:08):
I mean they just had more ofthe like another helicopter
almost got you know and hitanother plane, I mean it is bad.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I told you this week there was so much stuff that was
going on.
I mean you had to pick andchoose what you wanted to talk
about this week.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, I mean, you know, with all these airports
that have these space problems,like Newark has a space problem,
laguardia, you know, LaGuardiahas a space problem.
We can just go on and on and on,all these airports that have
space problems.
But here's the thing that havespace problems.
(28:44):
But here's the thing, placeslike Denver, you know, their
airport was very close to theirdowntown, it was convenient and
everything, and they decided,you know what, we're getting rid
of it.
We're going to move this so farout and we're going to build a
system where we're going to havea train system, all these
different ways to communicate,you know, get in and out.
But they put it so far out thatit's not so much as a
convenience but it's actuallynot an area that's going to
(29:06):
create problems.
You know, I'm saying likegrowth will come out to that
airport in space.
That's what a lot of theseplaces need to do.
They need to start like puttingthem so far out that they you
know, new york, the space, thatairspace should never have three
airports within the range theyhave right now.
No, and there's.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
There's actually more than that in there, yeah, and
it's always congested well.
La guardia, I mean privateairports, yeah, but even a uh
and a cloud, just uh, it'll shutla guardia now yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
it's just there are all these airports that are so
tight on space.
I mean like Midway over inChicago.
I mean convenient airport,right, but the runways are so
dang short for the planes thatare being flown.
Nowadays the planes are slidingoff the end of the runway.
Yeah, you know, and we hearabout that every now and then.
So you know, newark, stay awayfrom it this summer.
(29:58):
This summer it's a bad, badsituation.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
You're going to hear us talk about it again, because
I guarantee you there's going tobe a shit meltdown this summer
Sometime you're going to, you'regoing to hear about it.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
The other part, you know.
The other thing that we didn'ttalk about was the ATC factor in
that, too, right, atc right nowhas a huge, huge.
We've got a big problem, andhere's my thoughts on it.
It's so impactful to the entirenation Every business that
travels, every person that getson a plane, every company that
(30:30):
is there, a travel company,everybody should be concerned
about this entire issue becauseit's going to impact everyone.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Well, we talked about the air traffic control a few
podcasts ago, way before theyeven the summer started, because
we talked about how they were.
They were short air trafficcontrollers.
Yeah, Like 3,500 across thenation.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Oh well, they were talking about that.
You know that 90 second glitchand that happened.
One of them there's beenmultiple now where they'd lost
community community blah and oneof them there's been multiple
now where they've lostcommunication.
Philadelphia right now isrunning Newark's airspace and
(31:14):
supposedly when that allhappened there was only like
four ATC guys working.
There's supposed to be 14 atcguys working.
I mean that that just saysbells and whistles and all kinds
of if you know how newark workslike we do.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, that's.
That is freaking crazy scary.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
It's scary like when we I know we're flying in there
and we're being handled by thesepeople, you know, like you know
you, hope you're being handled.
Yeah, you're hope you're beinghandled.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
But um yeah it's it's stay away from Newark.
Stay away from Newark, for sure, and it's a bad place, but
anyways, man, hey, um, so let'sgo around the globe.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
All right man.
This one just seen this otherday had to had to throw this one
in there because it wasactually funny.
It was going around theinternet.
It said this pastor had given aflight attendant an allergy
list.
An allergy list, yep, anallergy list about, okay, what
you can and can't do because I'mon the airplane.
Please, why Come on, sean?
(32:15):
What you can and can't dobecause I'm on a plane.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Dude, I'm just like every time somebody comes on me
I got a peanut allergy or I gotthis and could you please make
sure, but the first one's thebest.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, go ahead.
Listen, don't brew any coffeebecause I'm allergic to the
smell what.
Yep.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Right.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
On an airplane.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
On an airplane.
We've already brewed it.
She needs.
Whoever this is needs their ownplane.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
We already brewed it yeah, we already brewed it Be
coming on the plane.
I'm drinking it yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
As I'm drinking it right in front of you, right,
right, right.
Oh yeah, maybe you should takeanother flight to coffee, and
then next no cashews, no cashewswell, no nuts.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Well nuts, I can see it's being specific about no
cashews.
Come on, she's in 4A, sean 4A.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Cashews are in 4A, sean.
Oh right, right, right, allright, so no cashews.
Sherry knows that.
And then no fragrance orchemical smells.
So we can't have any cologneperfume.
If you have any scented soap orbody lotion, you have to go
wash that off.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Yeah, this person is allergic to people.
Period we're not done yet, keepgoing.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And here's the other one Whatever, just make sure
that there's no gasoline orairplane fuel smells.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Oh yeah, as if we can control that.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
On an airplane.
On an airplane, on an enginestart Exactly no smelling of
fuel.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Good luck, this person needs to be walking on in
like a little bubble suit.
You know, with a little like alittle.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Like a plastic bubble yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
She looks like a little astronaut walking in and
sitting down in a seat.
That's what she needs to be in,because this lady is
unrealistic.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
But she'd appreciate it if you didn't brew that
coffee and you would refrainfrom serving any nuts in first
class because of her allergies.
Also, if, by chance, she hasseveral medications that she
needs to take and she's going toneed to drink a lot of water.
So if you could give her alarge bottle of water on the
(34:28):
onset of the flight, it wouldgreatly be appreciated.
So she wants a larger bottle ofwater.
Could you give that to her?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
No, dude.
Let me explain something rightnow.
One if you've got all theserequests and you've got all
these problems and stuff, youneed to take care of yourself.
It's kind of like that diabeticthat comes on and they're like
oh, I didn't bring my insulin,you know?
Like why aren't you taking careof yourself?
This person needs to take careof themselves.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Now see, I'm thinking different.
I'm imagining me and youworking a flight and we get
handed this piece of paper andat the end of it it says thank
you for your patience andunderstanding and trying to make
the flight as enjoyable aspossible for me.
I really appreciate you.
4a.
I would love to see.
(35:19):
I would absolutely love to seeour face, you being a lead, me
being the first class flightattendant, and we're reading
this and we're looking at eachother.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I'm serious man, that person sitting next to him.
They get cashews, they getcoffee oh, you didn't order this
and body lotion, yeah, yeah, Iwould definitely go spray my
little spritzer down there.
My poopery, poopery, I pooperyyour ass right off the air.
Exactly.
I'm telling you, like this ladyneeds a private jet, like
(35:52):
whoever she is, come on.
This isn't even realistic.
And the part that just tops itoff, the icing on the cake, is I
need you to give me water,because I can't bring my own
damn water.
Come on, no.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
As ridiculous as this sounds this is what we deal
with.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Yeah, this is the product of this culture, right
now.
I mean this is so unacceptableand for that person to even
think that that letter or thoserequests are acceptable is so
ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
You know we talk about this all the time.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
but remember folks, this is 1%.
This is only 1%, less than 1%.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah it's even less than 1%, but we get to talk
about this less than 1% becauseit always stands out.
But could you imagine going towork and getting that kind of
letter?
I know me and you.
I would just start, I wouldjust bust out laughing.
But hey, listen, this one,you're going to love this one.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Okay, airbus A320.
It diverted to Pensacola.
You know what it diverted for?
No, because the autopilotstopped working.
Yeah, they didn't pay thatmotherfucker?
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Oh my God.
First of all, the number onething a pilot does is fly a
freaking plane.
Are you kidding me?
That's like me pulling over tothe side of the road and I can't
go any further because mycruise control doesn't work
anymore.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Are you kidding me Come?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
on.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
I was sitting there thinking well, they didn't pay
him right the autopilot.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Yeah, the autopilot didn't get paid enough, so he
left.
He stopped working, man.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
He was under contract negotiations.
They didn't pay his ass.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Right, that's so stupid man, but you diverted.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Come on, could you imagine explaining that?
Could you?
Okay, If you was in the back?
And the reason why we'rediverting to Pensacola is the
autopilot is not working.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Please.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
And now you're sitting there going wait a
minute, wait, aren't you a pilot?
And there are two of you inthere, right, well, why?
Don't you guys fly, fly, theycan't oh wow, oh yeah, oh, wait
a minute, you can't fly it yeah,that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
You know, I was uh, thinking about this and stuff
and back in the what a few yearsago, the big max issue, we're
having all that MAX and stuff,the stuff this report came out
of.
You know, all those planes thatcrashed into MAX were from
these countries where theyliterally do not train their
pilots to fly.
(38:14):
They train their pilots toautomation, like they heavily
rely on automation.
One of the planes that actuallyflipped over one of the pilots
when the autopilot flipped off,he flipped it back on and he did
it three times before theycrashed.
Like at one point would you besaying you know, I need to grab
the freaking yoke and startflying the plane well, you
(38:36):
understand why I don't leave ourcountry now.
You're going international nowyou're going international.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Now you're going international.
Yeah, man, that's going tohappen, but I'm playing with my
US pilots yeah you are man, butyou know something.
This one was a US carrier.
I thought that was hilarious.
Yeah, they actually divert,even as a crew member.
If me and you were sitting inthere and you're like, hey, guys
, listen, just want to let youknow we're diverting because the
(39:02):
autopilot's not working Me andyou would have something to say
about that, oh, yeah, I'd be onthem.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Like, yeah, white on rice, dude, I'd be there.
They would not stop me fromfreaking like comment about this
, like are you kidding me?
Do your damn job.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Exactly, I got a place.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I got a place.
I got to go Get her the asshome.
Yeah, I got an agenda righthere.
You don't have your freakingconveniences up there.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
I want to get off the plane, your ass can't fly the
damn thing.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
You're going to triple my pay.
Work Exactly, but you can't flythe damn airplane.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Only the autopilot can fly it and he don't want to
fly it no more because he'sunder contract negotiations.
Oh my God.
Anyway, listen, this was good A911 call.
You know where it's from, noExcuse me 911.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Help me help you.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Yeah, I'm in an airplane right now.
Where In an airplane?
Where are you at?
I'm in the belly Belly.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yep when.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Well, I fell asleep in the belly of the plane and
now it's taking off and I'mgoing to get cut off real soon.
So, please, somebody's got tocome get me.
The baggage handler fell asleepin the belly of the aircraft.
And they locked his ass in theylocked his ass in and he got a
911 call.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Dude, here's the thing.
When I heard this story it'sknow I'd be like kicking and
pounding and banging like onbecause the floor of the plane
for the passengers you're justright underneath it.
Like I've been like pounding,trying to make as much noise.
Hey, get me out of this.
Like I gotta be out you knowlike I see, if you were down
(40:38):
there, I'm just turning thevolume up, right, but that's it.
That's the thing.
Everybody in that flightprobably had their headphones on
already.
They were already in theirlittle thing, unless you were
actually moving the plane.
The vibration they're like,what's that thumping?
They probably aren't hearingyou.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Okay, so you're stuck down there now, right, because
you just got cut off from cellservice.
Well, maybe you get Wi-Fi fromcell service because you're well
, maybe you get wi-fi.
Well, here's the thing, man,with starlink you'll get.
Why free wi-fi?
Speaker 1 (41:04):
you could actually text them and tell you tell them
that you're freezing your assoff down here?
It's not installed till yet.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
I would, I would ask you, I'd ask you.
Okay, so you're stuck downthere.
What's the first thing you'redoing?
Dude, I'm making as much noiseas possible okay, I'm going
through the bags and find somewarm ass clothes because it's
going to get cold quick.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Well, that's the thing, is that.
My other thought was they don'talways pressurize that Exactly,
like it's not required topressurize that system, like
people don't realize that anaircraft, like the luggage area,
isn't pressurized.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
And so, unless they have a live animal down there,
you better hope you see a dog.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
You better hope they do.
Unless they have a live animaldown there, you better hope you
see a dog.
Yeah, you better hope they do,because if one, you're going to
get real cold and hypothermia isgoing to kick in real quick if
you don't start.
Yeah, can you imagine if thatreally happened and survival
instincts.
And then you come in and theguy's like baggage is all dang
and the guy's just wrapped up inclothes?
Speaker 2 (41:58):
He's like you, better hope your ass got free wi-fi
baggages are all done.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
You're trying to like it comes off the rack here's
your open bag and you know, yourunderwear is on top of his head
we found the 911 guy.
He's down here he's like apopsicle.
He survived with all yourguys's clothes you get your
underwear on his head.
Right, you do, you do.
You do want to put anything onyour head to keep yourself warm?
(42:24):
That's for sure A little bitdifferent than a wheel well,
right, well, yeah, that'd belike first class.
Yeah, you've got all thisdifferent amenities you can use.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
I wonder if they made him go back.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
The same way, I'd be looking for something to eat,
because people put stuff intheir bags too.
That's true, because people putstuff in their bags too.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
That's true, I'd be looking for a dog and hoping
they're going to pressurize thatcabin.
Yeah, that's crazy man.
Okay, what about the one?
You had?
Two flights diverted fromMexico to Montgomery Alabama
because of the storms.
Yeah, all the passengers, allthese passengers, had to remain
on board for six hours.
Two planes.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
That's great, you know.
So people don't realize likethere's a lot of routes that we
fly that are like just onborders.
You know like we're coming fromCanada to US, or you know like
you're coming over borders andstuff and if you've got a cell
system you know pilots are goingto divert to the closest
airport that doesn't haveweather Right.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
But what's the reason ?
They're stuck on a plane though, Sean.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
They're stuck on a plane because they're in customs
.
No customs, there's no customs.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
No customs, no getting off the plane.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
Yeah, I had a situation like that one time
where we diverted Guy was havinga heart attack on a plane.
We're coming back from Cancun,we're going Cancun to I think we
were heading to San Franciscoand this guy has a heart attack
and you know we're going todivert, so we divert.
But we actually diverted intoEl Paso.
(43:50):
So we diverted from Cancun toEl Paso, dropped down the dude's
having a heart attack,ambulance comes, all this stuff.
They take him off the aircraft.
Guess what happened?
They were not going to let hiswife get off the aircraft
because the customs yeah, I wasthe lead in the flight and I'm.
I looked at the guys, I'm like,listen, somebody better figure
(44:11):
out something, because that guygetting off in the she's going
with him and I'm not doing thatto any family, right?
I said we're not moving theaircraft until we get here off.
I said so, somebody figure itout, because this is you're
talking stupidness.
Nobody's going to tell you, oh,we're going to separate your
families, right here.
But we, we got her off and gotit, the whole things, and their
customs agents finally comethere from whatever they had to
(44:34):
come to whatever.
But uh, that's, that'sridiculous certain circumstances
.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I can understand that , uh because?
But they're still gonna have tobe a customs person that's
going to have to follow thembecause, for whatever reason,
they're going to have to staywith them.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Yeah, in this situation, like with all the
diversion for weather and stuff,the whole plane's not going to.
You know they're not justdumping the whole plane off.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Six hours, though, man, I tell you you're going to
run out of every damn thing.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
You're going gonna be giving them every pretzel on
board, those little damn cookies, all those little tarmac
cookies.
You're gonna give them themdamn things away too.
Yeah, water, these are thepasture rules of uh, all this
stuff.
And you know, were these uscarriers too, by the way they
were, but you're gonna.
You're gonna be down todrinking plain water yeah, I
mean there's just you're gonnabe doing whatever you got to do
to like get through it, right,yeah, anyways.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
All right, man, we had another one.
It had a land.
This air bus was landed in SanJuan, puerto Rico, right, and
it's so hard to pieces of itjust came off plane.
Oh shit, you slam the.
You slam that shit down, man.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
When a piece falls off.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
Yeah, but it didn't it.
It didn't.
It actually took back off andand uh, because they didn't
supposedly they didn't have, Ithink they overshot it and uh,
and some pieces fell off.
So they had to actually circleback around.
They had to clean the runawayoff so they could land again
unbelievable dude.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Uh, hard landings are brutal, brutal.
We've been through hardlandings, yep, I mean like.
I mean you can have hardlandings and planes where, like,
the plane doesn't get damaged,but there's still, even there's
hard landings that the planewhen it does.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
I can't even imagine well, you've seen the wheel.
Well, what happens to the wheel?
Well, it collapses yeah someoneon some of them.
You slam it down, it's going tocollapse the wheel.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
Well, oh, all kinds of things, blow, blow tires Blow
tires out, blow wells, bend thestructures, you know all kinds
of crazy stuff.
The planes now have sensors onthem.
I don't know if you knew thatthe four hard landings Like
there's sometimes, like we mightnot think it's a hard landing
as far as like boom, it wasrough, whatever.
But if the sensor on the planenow they have sensors where if
(46:43):
it goes off um, the plane has tohave this like hard landing
inspection so they have to undothe structural instruction to
the whole plane well, if shitfell off your airplane, that
would be basically that youdidn't even need a sensor.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
You didn't need a sensor.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
Yeah, you just pick the shit up off off the freaking
runway yeah, when you pick upthe piece off the runway, you go
there's.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
There's a little bit of hard line.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
I'm sensing that this was a hard lane A little bit.
Speaker 2 (47:04):
Oh my God, that's unbelievable.
Okay, flight from Sydney to SanFrancisco.
It took approximately nowlisten to this one 28 hours.
No way, yeah, sydney to SanFrancisco 28 hours, diverted
twice.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
Oh my gosh, that's like a round-the-world trip.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Well, it sounded like yours.
The first one was divertedbecause, well, this is common,
we have medical emergencies.
Yeah, so they had to divert fora medical emergency and they
had to land in Samoa.
Wow, yeah, so they diverted toSamoa for the medical emergency.
Took a little while they tookback off and then they realized
(47:42):
they have another problem theother problem was crew
legalities.
Crew legalities, wow so we'reall timing out.
Yeah, they're all timed out.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
So they had to uh, they had to divert to Honolulu
the crazy thing about that isthat, like the I don't know what
exactly the crew legalities areinternational I'm gonna know
here soon.
But, um, like for the pilots,there's three pilots on those
international trips Right,because you have the
international relief officerthat takes over.
So they do like rotating breaksand stuff, so the pilots
(48:13):
actually get a break to sleepand all that stuff.
But still this is a lot.
That's a long-ass flight.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
Too freaking long for me.
Hey, listen, when you're partof that 28-hour group, you just
let me know, buddy.
Yeah, Because I'll be sittingthere doing my little turn down
here in Florida and I'll be backat home again.
So you just let me know I'm notgoing to be there ever?
Speaker 1 (48:35):
Yes, you will no.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
All right, man Go with the destination.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
Destination man.
All right, man, go with thedestination destination man.
He, you know what?
I don't have a destination, butI was looking on on this, uh,
this uh internet the other dayand, uh, you know, wicked is
like the thing right now.
Everybody, like all my nieces,all my like I have so many
nieces, all the nieces, they'reall running around.
You know, uh, you know I'mpopular, I'm so popular like
(49:01):
they're you should have been onwiki, dude, they're like like
all the songs are wicked,they're just like it's.
It's the thing right now,especially for little girls
right now they're watching thosethings over and over and over
and over.
But uh, I came across a thingwhere you know, um, part of you
know, the wicked story is thewizard of oz.
So the wizard of oz is supercool, but we always thought you
(49:22):
know dorothy's from kansas andstuff, and you're like, well,
where in kansas?
They've always just said she'sfrom kansas.
So some city in kansas this uhliberal kansas decided to claim
dorothy's house and they built ahouse there.
That um the 1939 film, it's areplica of that, and so you can
(49:45):
actually like go into this houseand everything and and see all
of like auntie m stuff and youknow dorothy stuff.
And then their big thing rightnow, um, the house is
constructed with a yellow brickroad outside of it and in the
other thing they've added thisthing where they have a tornado
(50:05):
simulator in it, which I thoughtwas like pretty wild, like I've
seen that one time.
Have you ever seen a tornadosimulator?
no so in chicago if you go tothe science and industry museum,
they actually have a tornadosimulator inside the museum.
So you literally like startthis thing up and they like pump
(50:26):
some smoke and whatever liketheater smoke and you'll see the
freaking tornado.
But this building is like, Igotta say, like six, seven
stories high inside and they'llhave this tornado form in the
middle of the freaking building.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
It's wild all Now going back to Wizard of Oz,
since we were going.
I know, Wicked, who were yourfavorite characters in Wizard of
Oz.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
Well, that's a good question.
I would probably say I wasdigging the Tin man, tin man.
Are the scarecrows probably myguys?
Speaker 2 (51:02):
I like the flying monkeys, the flying monkeys.
I like Fly, monkeys, fly.
Have you seen Wicked?
Yeah, I've seen Wicked, but I'mtalking about the.
You're talking about theoriginal Dorothy, so I'm talking
about the Wizard of.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
Oz.
Right, right, right.
So the monkeys flying were,those were super cool, but the
new wicked like made thosemonkeys so like kind of a
different light to those monkeysI mean there was.
So it was super cool how theydid them and they grew those
wings and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
it was wild okay, now you the munchkins, right,
munchkins, you remember that?
Um, we represent the lollipopkids.
See, I knew, you knew, you knowyou know.
Yeah, I love the lollipop yeah.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
The wizard boss has such a.
It's such a cool.
You know the one thing, one ofthe things that we've kind of
like gotten away from in usgrowing up, we always had
traditional movies, like holidaymovies.
Through the holidays, certainmovies always came, came and
went.
Came when they were on tv, ohcool, it's wizard boss time.
You know like oh cool.
(52:07):
And you know christmas we gotfreaking.
You know all these santa clausstories and all you know like
all that type of stuff washappening.
But today is that still evenaround?
no, I mean is that like is it?
Are we out of so touched thatwe're?
That's not.
I don't see that because of theinternet and because of all the
streaming and stuff, we don'thave those like traditions where
(52:27):
we're like the whole familysitting around watching these
cool movies I mean you, you goback to where's it?
Speaker 2 (52:32):
okay, go back to wizard of oz.
Even michael jackson the whiz,yeah the way I mean he went back
and he did his own thing withthe wh yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:39):
You got to ease on down.
Ease on down the road.
Speaker 2 (52:43):
Yeah, I knew that was coming.
Yeah, but you know, diana Ross.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
Diana Ross yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
I mean, it was unbelievable, I mean, but it was
the simplicity of that and whenyou used to, you've seen this
and it was like even the smallthings, like the monkeys, and
you remember the lollipop Kenand the Wicked Witch how did she
melt?
Speaker 1 (53:08):
Yeah, throwing water on her Water.
Yeah, simple water, yeah.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
You got this Wicked Witch right that can destroy
everybody, but she can bedestroyed by a little water,
water, oh, I'm melting, I'mmelting.
Anyway, yeah, that was a lot offun.
Speaker 1 (53:25):
Yeah, man, Wizard of Oz cool thing.
But it was cool that this townkind of like, just hey, we're
taking over this thing.
Speaker 2 (53:32):
Making some money from it.
Speaker 1 (53:34):
Yeah, making an attraction to go to.

I know that's pretty funny, butyou used to live off of West
117th right In Cleveland Ohio.
(01:25):
Yeah, and I was driving backhere and I was thinking how
pretty it is through the country, because I live, like I don't
know, three or four milesthrough the country as a bird
flies to where Sean lives andit's pretty, real, pretty Right,
it's beautiful.
You're winding in and out andyou see all this beautiful trees
and everything, and it wasn'tlike that whenever I first drove
(01:47):
to your apartment and west117th it's a little different
scenery from the beautifulnature area we live in.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Now to the hood, the hood, the hood we used to live
in like it was like it's very.
It was Like it was like it'svery, it was very sketchy there,
but it's typical hood ish.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
You got, you got off the interstate.
And then you know, here's thefight.
You get off the interstatewhere we're at, and you turn
into the country and you're like, ah, man is gorgeous, right.
You got trees, golf courses,everybody takes care of their
homes.
I mean it's real pretty.
Now you get off at theinterstate at West 117.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
And it's a condemned house.
We got trash.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
We got homeless.
On the side of the road You'relocking your doors at the
stoplight.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, the local gas station convenience store is
loaded up with all kinds ofhoodie-looking cars, big wheels,
mags on them.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
You drive down the street to the apartment.
You're getting next to theapartment, you're looking
outside.
You're making sure nobody'scasing you before you get out of
the car.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, there's police cameras at the intersections.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
There's, you know like much different
intersections there's, you knowlike much different.
Well, even the guy, rememberthe guy that owned your, owned
your place when we first went inthere right, and I came over
there and and you're like gee,we need to, we need to redo this
place.
We redid the whole place, thatwhole two bedroom me and you
redid that thing and it lookedcompletely different dude.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
It was like so that that place, like we took this
cat, owned a duplex and so theduplex in cleveland, like in the
hood area, is like upstairs,downstairs.
So he took an old house andsplit into two and so we went in
there, man threw some paint onit like, cleaned it up like it
was, it was.
It was unbelievable it smelledlike pine salt when we got done
yeah, when we were done, it wasactually a nice apartment that
(03:45):
you would rent.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
He came upstairs and he looked at it and he was like
I'm moving in here after youguys leave.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Remember that he probably did after we left.
But you know what?
I ran into that cat here yearsago.
I was out here in myneighborhood and so I live in
this golf neighborhood and, um,I'm at the, I'm at the club and
I look across the room and hereis that dude and I'm like what
the hell is he doing?
(04:12):
He was here, yeah, he was here,and I was like this is this, is
like this is a small world.
So you know, I go over and I'mlike hey, what's up?
And he, his eyes kind of likegrew big because he like with
withheld my um deposit I wasgonna say this is the same guy
that held your security.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah yeah back in the day.
I mean, this is after we, afterwe took care of that whole damn
place.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, it's like 15, 20 years later we like did
everything for them and and he,his excuse was like you were
late on the rent a couple oftimes.
I'm like, did you not get it?
I'm like you got it.
Like, come on, are you kiddingme?
Really.
Like it was, it was somebullshit anyways.
So uh, he was, uh he was hereand uh, anyways, he, he, he had
(04:57):
joined our golf club andeverything.
So I was like I gotta see whatthis guy does.
So it turns out he's shitgolfer and I'm like, all right,
I need to, I need to soak somemoney I'm the hustle, yeah,
trying to hustle them.
So that's exactly what happened.
We end up getting in a, youknow, like a month or so later
we get in a golf thing and I'mlike I gotta push to push the
(05:17):
boundaries here.
So, you know, it's up to ahundred dollars, you know, plus
whatever.
This guy was getting ready tolose a lot of money, but uh
you're getting, you're gettingyour security deposit.
Yeah, I'm trying to win mysecurity deposit back like and,
and.
At the end of the round, afterhe like paid me like 150 bucks,
I was like, yeah, I only gotpart of my security back.
I'm coming after you stay.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
He's like I know he's still here no, he moved out a
long, many years ago do you knowthe one of the the funniest
things about that apartment?
I remember you were hanging outthe window and you seen this,
this brother walking down thestreet, and you yelled at him.
You said pull up your damnpants pull those damn pants up,
dude.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I never get that whole entire, you know.
Drop your pants down and yousee your drawers and all that
stuff underwear hanging out theback.
It used to drive you nuts Idon't get why, like it's so
stupid.
I saw a really cool thing oflike morgan freeman talking
about, like you know, do youunderstand the history of why
this is?
You know where this came from?
It wasn't just prison.
(06:16):
It was, like you know, becauseyou were so poor you couldn't
afford pants to actually fit you.
You know these are.
You know, I don't know we don'tneed to go there, but it's like
it was funny, though.
I mean when I was driving backhere I was like god he just took
me back to when I used to driveto that west 117th my memory of
that place that sticks out likecrazy is the night that, um, I
(06:40):
came home and then all of asudden, man, it was like there
was like 50 cop cars across thestreet from us and there was
like you couldn't come out ofyour house, nothing, it was
literally right across.
We were on corner streets here,so the other corner, all these
cops, they were like busting thedrug busts across the street
from us.
It was nothing but like youknow everybody, the drug
(07:03):
enforcement and everything.
It was crazy.
It was locked down the wholestreet but you, you were not
shocked no, I wasn't shocked herin the neighborhood, but it was
just like that's just one of mymemories.
I'm like you know what, maybetime to move it's like a warm
fuzzy.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
So what's been going on with you?
Speaker 1 (07:19):
oh, you know, man, we're doing the back and forth
with the family, of course, andand all that stuff, and you know
having a great time.
It was my one of my youngnieces birthday, was she turned
six, mila.
And a shout out to Mila, but Iknow she's not, she doesn't
listen to us.
This is too way too heavy forher.
But Mila is a character man andMila was, we were, we were at
(07:42):
the at the birthday party,whatever.
And man and uh, mila was, wewere, we were at the at the
birthday party, whatever.
And she has this group offriends.
They that they're like familyfriends.
You know the all these littlegirls and it's funny because
they all have there's like twokids in each family.
So each one of the familiesthey call them by their hair
color.
So they got one family thatit's the reds, so they're all
these redheads and they get it.
(08:03):
Then they another companythey're the blondes.
And then mila and her sister,they're the brunettes.
So mila's like explaining thiswhole thing to me and she looks
up at me and she's like, oh you,you're, you're the grays.
I'm like nice, thank you, Ilove you, mila, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You know, I was going to give it to you just there
for a minute, because I wassitting there thinking the reds,
the blondes, the brunettes,that was you dating years ago.
You're talking about theselittle kids, I'm talking about
these little kids, and then nowyou're the gray hair guy.
Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
So the groups that come to her little birthday
party she's got the reds, thebrunettes, the blondes, and now
she's got her family, the grays,little shit, anyways, yeah.
So another thing that's sofunny is that when I show up to
Mila and Reagan is my niece'snames they love to hear Uncle
sean's stories.
So they're always like tell usa story, tell us a story.
(09:09):
And I'm like I'm always tryingto think of these like stories,
like, like I didn't realize,like all my stories are so
exciting to them.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
But they were like you're like okay, honestly
though, you're animated, so yeahI'm a little animated.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
So they were like, like you know, they're like
uncle sean, tell me stories, solike I leave them.
Um, one night we were there andI said, tomorrow I'm gonna tell
you the story about me rollingout of a car.
And they're like what?
So literally like the next day,like when, the first time I see
him, they're like tell us thestory.
What's the story?
(09:41):
We've been waiting all night.
We need to know the story, likeanticipating this thing.
So then I'm like I reflect onthis story and I'm like you know
what, I go back in my day.
I go our parents.
You know we would.
We would be driving aroundthese cars and the cars back
then were like big, and I'mtalking like we had like a 57
chevy or something you know likethese, because you know how
(10:03):
like, like the interior of thecars were like massive.
Yeah, it's like a room and thena lot of the cars didn't have
seat belts.
Right like in our day we grewup, there's no seat belts
there's no such.
You get like six kids back therethere was no such thing as car
seats, nope, there was no suchthing as boosters.
Like like all this stuff andtheir mind, or like their eyes
and their mind are being totallyblown.
(10:24):
They're like what, how did youtravel, you know, how did you
get from the without this andall this stuff?
I'm telling them like thisdidn't exist.
So you got to imagine thisworld where all that didn't
exist.
And I said and so I'm in thebackseat of my car and one of
the things I love to do in mycar, like the, you know, like
between the front and back seat,was so big as a kid and there
(10:46):
was a hump on the on those cars,and that hump was like warm.
So we'd like curl up in those,like in the bottom, like on the
floor in the car, and just likedrive around.
You know, like all warm andeverything.
Yeah, so I was telling them allthis stuff and they're like wow
, like you know, they couldn'teven envision what I was talking
about.
But I said so we're drivingdown the street one day and I'm
(11:07):
sitting in the back of the carwith my parents and I'm looking
out the window and my parentsturned the corner and the door
flew open and I rolled out ofthe car and they turned around
their intersection.
I wasn't rolling out in the carin the street in the street.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
The reason I'm laughing is because I actually
left the door open one time,leaning against it.
I almost fell out too.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Yeah, I mean, that was very common back then.
You're holding on just lookingat the window and all of a
sudden the door swings open.
I went rolling out the car andluckily I didn't get hit by
other cars.
Other cars stopped and stuff.
My parents had to come up andpick me up off the ground and
get me back in the car.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
Uncle Sean's rolling out of the car store.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I guess.
I guess that's why they haveseat belts and seat boosters.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
A few changes, but you know they used to load half
the neighborhood back in thosecars.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Oh, dude man, you could put, like all your friends
, in the back of those cars.
You could have like six sevenkids in the back seat Like we'd
all fit.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Oh well, we had a brown station wagon, so you know
when you're going to the movies, you load everybody in there.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, we were talking about that too.
Like the station wagons, likethe ones that you like, can face
each other in the back yep inthis, oh yeah right, or?
Or you'd like the family sportwagon yeah, the station where
you're gonna like sit in thething and it was rear facing so
you'd see out the back window,type of thing yeah and and uh,
if you were, if you were younger, you had to sit in the back and
face backwards.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
And you're the older kids you're facing forward.
No, we didn't have any ruleslike that, we just sat where no,
that's, that's what it was ours.
Ours was the younger ones inthe back, and Yvette and Alan
were in the front.
Oh gotcha.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Yeah, let's see, I mean me and my sister.
That was it.
So it was like sit wherever youwant to sit, but we all have
these cars.
It's so crazy.
Like we all in our generationwe grew up with this whole thing
and kids nowadays don't evenunderstand.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Like they can't even fathom, like this world.
But well, because now the carsare like little bitty match
boxes, I mean even even mine.
It's a smaller car but backthen, what did you drive in high
school?
Okay, here we go again.
I forgot crying out loud, youwalked into it.
Yeah, I, you know something.
I did that and I even knew thatI was looking at you going I
just knew that okay, let me.
Let me tell you what I drove.
I drove a 76 Monte Carlo Sport,do you?
Speaker 1 (13:28):
remember what those were?
Yeah man, Big cars, Big asscars.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
But you know, that's when gas was like 98 cents a
gallon.
Right, which was expensive forus it was expensive, but you
didn't care so much about gas.
I mean, you put a few dollarsin, you could at least get home.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I mean, you put a few dollars in, you could at least
get home.
Oh yeah, that was how weoperated too, like a few dollars
at a time.
Right, it's true, I don'tremember anybody in my
generation filling up gas tanks.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
No, like four or five bucks.
You're like we can cruise forlike four or five bucks.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You got some change, man, I need to give it to you.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
We used to have this strip in Decatur.
It was El Dorado and we used togo.
There was a McDonald's at eachend of it.
It was so funny there was aMcDonald's at each end.
So you'd drive all the way downto one end.
You'd cruise from one end tothe other.
That's what our thing was,right You'd cruise.
At one end there's like thehigh schools of like Mount Zion
and Decatur They'd be over hereand at the other end you'd have
(14:24):
like Stephen, decatur andMacArthur.
That's where everybody hung outand if you ever crossed paths,
you know what I mean.
That's where the fights started.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
But we used to cruise back and forth in those big old
boat cars when we were young.
I know the weekends in smalltowns in America.
That's what the thing to do inthe weekends was to cruise back
and forth up and down thestreets, back and forth.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
It was innocent, but man, it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, it was a lot of fun because you're like yelling
and honking and hooting andtalking to people along the way.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
And it all started out from Uncle Sean falling out
of a car.
Yeah, that's right, All right,man.
Hey, listen, I read this storyand you know this one's cool.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
This guy's name is Johnny Kim.
Johnny Kim man I'm.
That dude is off the Richterscale, Amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
I was reading this and I'm like is this dude real?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, I mean going through the like, seeing this
whole story about him andeverything and where he come
from and all this stuff, I waslike this dude is like, he's
like I.
You know, in my life I'm alwaysand I know you're the same way
like we strive to achievewhatever we want to do, like we
weren't.
We're going to go and do whatwe need to do.
Right, this cat like came from,uh, a single parent family.
(15:42):
You know dad was a wife beateror somebody a drunk, drunk,
alcoholic, all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Which is common in our day Everything against him.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Everything against him.
The guy ends up being a NavySEAL.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
To start with.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, he literally was like he wanted to be a
warrior and that part of itreally like everything he's
doing.
He's trying to be a warrior inanything he's doing.
Like people pop that vision intheir head and they think in
battle and gladiator and thattype of thing.
(16:16):
And warriors aren't always justthat person.
A warrior can be anything andany type of like shoot.
If you're striving to beexcellent.
You're a warrior.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
But first of all, and you know from being in the
military, when you first thinkof Navy SEAL, right, you think
of some muscle-bound beefed-upkilling machine, right?
Oh yeah, and that's not it withthe SEALs.
The SEALs it's a mentaltoughness, and you can be
physically bigger than everybodyelse and you could fail the
first day because your musclesgive out on you soon.
(16:50):
Sure, Right, but will yourbrain?
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, I mean the military focuses and you know
SEALs are the ultimate.
You know one of the elitefighting forces out there, but
all military they're going tobreak in and try to get you into
understanding what yourlimitations are, because you
need to know what you can andcan't do, right, I mean, and and
being like physical and allthat stuff is is a good, good,
(17:15):
great thing, and being healthyand all that stuff.
But to have that mentalfortitude to understand and be
smart enough to work as a teamto achieve things.
And that's what the seal is allabout.
It's all about a team.
You're a team, you're, you're,you're like that, like that
watch.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
You know every integral part of the watch is
important and that's what sealsdo, you know when, when I was
reading this story, it madecomplete sense, though, that he
started off being a SEAL.
Yeah, okay, it did, and exactlywhat you just said, because
I've done a lot of research onthe Navy SEALs, because I love
our SEAL teams, I mean they'rejust awesome Actually, all of
(17:52):
our special forces and all ofour military, I mean I give
credit to every one of them thatserve Even you.
You know, you did plenty oftime yourself in there, but the
SEALs, that mental toughness youcan understand.
He completed 100 successfulcombat missions.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Yeah, I mean that's out First of all the mental
toughness.
That's where it comes into,like trying to handle that as
anybody, as a human being, goingon.
I mean the stuff that he saw on100 missions.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Don't even want to re-envision that If you guys
really want to see about being aNavy SEAL.
I mean, truthfully, go watchwhat it takes to be a Navy SEAL
and then watch what it is to gothrough Hell Week and I know
we're going to talk about the100 successful combat missions
but just to go through Hell Week, just to get to be a Navy SEAL,
(18:45):
and then you didn't make it.
Then I mean you made it throughthe program, but after that I
mean it just all starts afterthat.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Yeah, I mean that that first part of it, and you
know all military training.
You know you have to getthrough that initial part in
order to continue on with yourjob.
Right, like who, who can reallyhandle this job?
And that's what they're doingis they're just weeding out to
make sure who can handle thisjob, because we're getting ready
to invest millions in you.
Right, the military, like, weplay with a lot of expensive
(19:16):
equipment and they're not goingto just give that to anybody.
You need to be the right personfor the right job.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Right, and you see these guys, this guy's picture.
But what's so cool about thisis you'd think, okay, you're a
Navy SEAL, right?
I mean, that's what your jobwas.
You're a killing machine.
Well, he was a medic, I know,but it wasn't enough for him.
What'd he do after that?
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah, After that he didn't decide it, he's.
I'm going to go to medicalschool and went to freaking
Harvard, Harvard medical schoolbecame a doctor on freaking,
believable.
Yeah, I mean that's, that'sawesome.
I mean, like this guy, likeBilly, his succession of, like
his, uh, his career is like soamazing from a Navy SEAL to now
a doctor.
And then when he actuallyentered the program in the
(20:00):
doctor, he decided he saw alaunch during that period and
started becoming this totalspace geek and he was like you
know, I want to do that.
So he literally told HarvardMedical School hey, I signed up
to be an astronaut and if theypick me, that's when I'm leaving
(20:20):
.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
And guess what?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
They picked him.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And he is actually the first Korean-American
astronaut and he was therecipient of the Silver Star.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Yeah.
Did you see the video with Cruztalking to him?
No, yeah, so Senator Cruz waslike you know.
He's like you know, kim, johnny, kim, here is a guy.
He's a Navy SEAL, he's a doctor, so he can kill you and he can
bring you back to life.
He goes they need me doing allthat up in the space station.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
You know, what I thought was funny, though, when
I started looking at this story,was you know how people, when
they go through their careers,they have their different
pictures.
Yeah, he's got some badasspictures.
Oh, he's got badass pictures.
I mean, he's got a Navy SEALpicture, he's got a Harvard
Medical School picture, and thenhe's got an astronaut picture.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
First of all, here's the thing Most people in the
world dream of being one thingright.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Like we all like focus on.
This is my dream, this is mydream job.
This guy keeps on flippingthrough dream jobs Like he's
doing the elite of the elite ofthe like he just keeps doing it.
I mean his next thing if Ididn't, if this guy like signed
up, I'm now going to be thepresident, I wouldn't, it
wouldn't be surprising.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
It's like he's got his own wall right.
I mean, you get your picturewall and it's like me, me and me
right, I mean, what's his nextaccomplishment after this?
If you walked in his house andyou seen those pictures, you'd
be like oh, those are funny,that's bullshit.
You're like oh yeah, you were aSEAL, you're a Harvard doctor
and then you're now an astronaut.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, I think there was a post up on the on the
internet where they were showinglike his three pictures of
different things.
They were like this is not ameme you know Exactly.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
And you're right, it would be the first Korean
president.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, that'd be next.
Right, just set him up there,this dude was incredible, though
.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Seriously, if you guys get a chance, take a look
at this man.
I mean he is.
He's incredible Big props outto you.
I just thought those yourpictures alone got drew me into
the story because you had somereal bad-ass pictures.
Bad-ass they were.
They were really cool.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, that guy doesn't do, there's nothing he
can't accomplish.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
I mean, obviously he's already proved that to
himself whatever he wants to door be, he's going to it.
But, like I said, it goes backto the very beginning of it navy
seal.
I understood it then.
I mean I, I did, I understood alittle bit more, but even even
accomplished navy seals, becausewe've had former seals that
that are pilots oh yeah going onto other careers and stuff, but
(22:55):
to three different ones likethat that's.
That was unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Yeah, the guys like smoking through careers.
It's unbelievable.
I mean, wow, anyways man uhtalking about like space and
stuff.
Um, did you see it where thatus carriers like actually
installing star link into theirwhole entire fleet?
What's Starlink Like?
Starlink said that Elon Musk uhvideo, you know?
Speaker 2 (23:21):
what that Elon Musk video?
You know what Starlink I'm?
Speaker 1 (23:22):
sorry.
I had to do that, yeah, butStarlink is like I mean, for
those that don't know, and yougot a point like it's a internet
connectivity system that's alldone with satellites and
basically anywhere andeverywhere is going to be
streaming.
It's Elon Musk's next big, youknow.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Future.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Yeah, and so they're putting in their planes and then
everybody on the plane Ithink's eventually going to have
free internet on this plane andthey're talking about upload
speeds at 250 megabytes peraircraft, which is like so much
faster than I mean we'reprobably in by the time it all
get installed there.
We like this is slow, you know,but but now, man, what we have
(24:04):
on the aircraft now and all thedifferent systems that are
across all these differentcompanies, I mean it's so smart,
so smart.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
So they said it takes like four days to install the
system into the planes.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, whereas the current system is actually like
a couple weeks in order eachaircraft to install the system
into the planes yeah, whereasthe current system is actually
like a couple weeks in ordereach aircraft install.
So, like this system is likeultra fast, so this should be
going up pretty quick as far aslike installing across your
whole entire fleet.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
So I'm looking forward to that, like you know,
now, are they gonna pay for thatone, or are they gonna get it
for free?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
they're gonna.
They're gonna get it for free.
I they're going to, they'regoing to get it for free.
I mean, that's the whole pointof the system is like it's.
It's very cost effective.
The equipment that goes on theaircraft was like half the
weight of the old system.
It's like it's a.
It's a total upgrade.
But here's my thing about theinternet this Like, we always
(25:04):
look at the internet from aperspective of, like you know,
we, we purchased that.
We, you know, we got thatprivilege right now, and where
we're at in life, you know wecan, we can afford to do that.
But people don't understandthat there's probably about only
50% of the world that hasinternet.
And that's mind blowing whenyou think about it.
Like 50% of the world hasinternet, so there's half the
world doesn't have internet.
And they's mind-blowing whenyou think about it.
Like 50 of the world hasinternet, so there's half the
world doesn't have internet andthey don't have access.
(25:26):
And that's where musk is comingin and he's trying to give it
to everybody and it should befree.
And the internet is becoming athing there.
It should be free for everybody, like everybody should have
access to this now these the,the home systems with starlink.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Have you seen that at all?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I have not, but I mean I, I, I want to investigate
into it because we're not.
We used to be kind of remoteout where we're at right now but
we're not anymore because youknow, all the fiber optic
companies and stuff can comeinto our areas but for like
farmers and stuff that are outthere and like in these rural
areas and stuff.
I just flew with this gal thather family's big farm and I mean
(26:01):
I'm talking big farm and youknow they employ like 500 folks
on their farm.
This is a gigantic farm and uh,she was talking about how they
don't have internet access outthere and it's super slow and
they get spotty and all thatstuff.
But this would be a perfectsystem for their farm, you know,
to be able to connect everybodyand everything.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Everybody have it, um , but on an aircraft, though if
it is half the weight, I meanjust the fuel consumption, yeah,
I mean per year of an airline.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That's unbelievable I really, I honestly think that
someday the internet will befree to everybody and everybody
should have access to it.
You know, like it's it'ssomething that it's it's so
powerful of a tool for all of usthat have the privilege of
doing having it, those 50% thatthe other 50% should have it to
as well.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Everywhere.
Yeah Well, I mean, like I said,I'm looking forward to seeing
it.
Um, and a free internet servicemeans, uh, people can actually
do something on the plane ifthey don't have entertainment.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, stop bothering us.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
All right man.
Newark has been a freakingnightmare, dude Stay away.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Beware, stay away.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
You've been told about this over and over again.
Let me tell you this summertimein Newark, every time, every
day, I walk in there, I don'tcare what day it is.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Sean, delay, delay, delay, yeah man, newark is like
the total shit show of I meanlike we always call it the
armpit of the nation.
It is Like it's right now it isso bad and there's so many
things breaking down with itright now and and the
complications are all stemmingfrom that like um runway
shutdown, that's that started itall and so they're trying to
(27:47):
like upgrade their runwaybecause newark has is like a
little tiny spot and there's somany spaces like that we fly
into that are like problem-esqueright now.
Like dc that washingtonnationals airport.
I mean that's that's kind of ashit show right now.
Like DC Washington NationalsAirport I mean that's kind of a
shit show right now too.
I mean they keep that in andout but they keep having
incident after incident.
(28:08):
I mean they just had more ofthe like another helicopter
almost got you know and hitanother plane, I mean it is bad.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
I told you this week there was so much stuff that was
going on.
I mean you had to pick andchoose what you wanted to talk
about this week.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Yeah, I mean, you know, with all these airports
that have these space problems,like Newark has a space problem,
laguardia, you know, LaGuardiahas a space problem.
We can just go on and on and on,all these airports that have
space problems.
But here's the thing that havespace problems.
(28:44):
But here's the thing, placeslike Denver, you know, their
airport was very close to theirdowntown, it was convenient and
everything, and they decided,you know what, we're getting rid
of it.
We're going to move this so farout and we're going to build a
system where we're going to havea train system, all these
different ways to communicate,you know, get in and out.
But they put it so far out thatit's not so much as a
convenience but it's actuallynot an area that's going to
(29:06):
create problems.
You know, I'm saying likegrowth will come out to that
airport in space.
That's what a lot of theseplaces need to do.
They need to start like puttingthem so far out that they you
know, new york, the space, thatairspace should never have three
airports within the range theyhave right now.
No, and there's.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
There's actually more than that in there, yeah, and
it's always congested well.
La guardia, I mean privateairports, yeah, but even a uh
and a cloud, just uh, it'll shutla guardia now yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
it's just there are all these airports that are so
tight on space.
I mean like Midway over inChicago.
I mean convenient airport,right, but the runways are so
dang short for the planes thatare being flown.
Nowadays the planes are slidingoff the end of the runway.
Yeah, you know, and we hearabout that every now and then.
So you know, newark, stay awayfrom it this summer.
(29:58):
This summer it's a bad, badsituation.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
You're going to hear us talk about it again, because
I guarantee you there's going tobe a shit meltdown this summer
Sometime you're going to, you'regoing to hear about it.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
The other part, you know.
The other thing that we didn'ttalk about was the ATC factor in
that, too, right, atc right nowhas a huge, huge.
We've got a big problem, andhere's my thoughts on it.
It's so impactful to the entirenation Every business that
travels, every person that getson a plane, every company that
(30:30):
is there, a travel company,everybody should be concerned
about this entire issue becauseit's going to impact everyone.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Well, we talked about the air traffic control a few
podcasts ago, way before theyeven the summer started, because
we talked about how they were.
They were short air trafficcontrollers.
Yeah, Like 3,500 across thenation.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Oh well, they were talking about that.
You know that 90 second glitchand that happened.
One of them there's beenmultiple now where they'd lost
community community blah and oneof them there's been multiple
now where they've lostcommunication.
Philadelphia right now isrunning Newark's airspace and
(31:14):
supposedly when that allhappened there was only like
four ATC guys working.
There's supposed to be 14 atcguys working.
I mean that that just saysbells and whistles and all kinds
of if you know how newark workslike we do.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Yeah, that's.
That is freaking crazy scary.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
It's scary like when we I know we're flying in there
and we're being handled by thesepeople, you know, like you know
you, hope you're being handled.
Yeah, you're hope you're beinghandled.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
But um yeah it's it's stay away from Newark.
Stay away from Newark, for sure, and it's a bad place, but
anyways, man, hey, um, so let'sgo around the globe.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
All right man.
This one just seen this otherday had to had to throw this one
in there because it wasactually funny.
It was going around theinternet.
It said this pastor had given aflight attendant an allergy
list.
An allergy list, yep, anallergy list about, okay, what
you can and can't do because I'mon the airplane.
Please, why Come on, sean?
(32:15):
What you can and can't dobecause I'm on a plane.
Speaker 1 (32:18):
Dude, I'm just like every time somebody comes on me
I got a peanut allergy or I gotthis and could you please make
sure, but the first one's thebest.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
Yeah, go ahead.
Listen, don't brew any coffeebecause I'm allergic to the
smell what.
Yep.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Right.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
On an airplane.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
On an airplane.
We've already brewed it.
She needs.
Whoever this is needs their ownplane.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
We already brewed it yeah, we already brewed it Be
coming on the plane.
I'm drinking it yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
As I'm drinking it right in front of you, right,
right, right.
Oh yeah, maybe you should takeanother flight to coffee, and
then next no cashews, no cashewswell, no nuts.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
Well nuts, I can see it's being specific about no
cashews.
Come on, she's in 4A, sean 4A.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Cashews are in 4A, sean.
Oh right, right, right, allright, so no cashews.
Sherry knows that.
And then no fragrance orchemical smells.
So we can't have any cologneperfume.
If you have any scented soap orbody lotion, you have to go
wash that off.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Yeah, this person is allergic to people.
Period we're not done yet, keepgoing.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
And here's the other one Whatever, just make sure
that there's no gasoline orairplane fuel smells.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Oh yeah, as if we can control that.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
On an airplane.
On an airplane, on an enginestart Exactly no smelling of
fuel.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Good luck, this person needs to be walking on in
like a little bubble suit.
You know, with a little like alittle.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Like a plastic bubble yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
She looks like a little astronaut walking in and
sitting down in a seat.
That's what she needs to be in,because this lady is
unrealistic.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
But she'd appreciate it if you didn't brew that
coffee and you would refrainfrom serving any nuts in first
class because of her allergies.
Also, if, by chance, she hasseveral medications that she
needs to take and she's going toneed to drink a lot of water.
So if you could give her alarge bottle of water on the
(34:28):
onset of the flight, it wouldgreatly be appreciated.
So she wants a larger bottle ofwater.
Could you give that to her?
Speaker 1 (34:34):
No, dude.
Let me explain something rightnow.
One if you've got all theserequests and you've got all
these problems and stuff, youneed to take care of yourself.
It's kind of like that diabeticthat comes on and they're like
oh, I didn't bring my insulin,you know?
Like why aren't you taking careof yourself?
This person needs to take careof themselves.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Now see, I'm thinking different.
I'm imagining me and youworking a flight and we get
handed this piece of paper andat the end of it it says thank
you for your patience andunderstanding and trying to make
the flight as enjoyable aspossible for me.
I really appreciate you.
4a.
I would love to see.
(35:19):
I would absolutely love to seeour face, you being a lead, me
being the first class flightattendant, and we're reading
this and we're looking at eachother.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I'm serious man, that person sitting next to him.
They get cashews, they getcoffee oh, you didn't order this
and body lotion, yeah, yeah, Iwould definitely go spray my
little spritzer down there.
My poopery, poopery, I pooperyyour ass right off the air.
Exactly.
I'm telling you, like this ladyneeds a private jet, like
(35:52):
whoever she is, come on.
This isn't even realistic.
And the part that just tops itoff, the icing on the cake, is I
need you to give me water,because I can't bring my own
damn water.
Come on, no.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
As ridiculous as this sounds this is what we deal
with.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Yeah, this is the product of this culture, right
now.
I mean this is so unacceptableand for that person to even
think that that letter or thoserequests are acceptable is so
ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
You know we talk about this all the time.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
but remember folks, this is 1%.
This is only 1%, less than 1%.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Yeah it's even less than 1%, but we get to talk
about this less than 1% becauseit always stands out.
But could you imagine going towork and getting that kind of
letter?
I know me and you.
I would just start, I wouldjust bust out laughing.
But hey, listen, this one,you're going to love this one.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Yeah, what is it?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
Okay, airbus A320.
It diverted to Pensacola.
You know what it diverted for?
No, because the autopilotstopped working.
Yeah, they didn't pay thatmotherfucker?
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Oh my God.
First of all, the number onething a pilot does is fly a
freaking plane.
Are you kidding me?
That's like me pulling over tothe side of the road and I can't
go any further because mycruise control doesn't work
anymore.
Speaker 2 (37:12):
Are you kidding me Come?
Speaker 1 (37:13):
on.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
I was sitting there thinking well, they didn't pay
him right the autopilot.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Yeah, the autopilot didn't get paid enough, so he
left.
He stopped working, man.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
He was under contract negotiations.
They didn't pay his ass.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Right, that's so stupid man, but you diverted.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
Come on, could you imagine explaining that?
Could you?
Okay, If you was in the back?
And the reason why we'rediverting to Pensacola is the
autopilot is not working.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
Please.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
And now you're sitting there going wait a
minute, wait, aren't you a pilot?
And there are two of you inthere, right, well, why?
Don't you guys fly, fly, theycan't oh wow, oh yeah, oh, wait
a minute, you can't fly it yeah,that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
You know, I was uh, thinking about this and stuff
and back in the what a few yearsago, the big max issue, we're
having all that MAX and stuff,the stuff this report came out
of.
You know, all those planes thatcrashed into MAX were from
these countries where theyliterally do not train their
pilots to fly.
(38:14):
They train their pilots toautomation, like they heavily
rely on automation.
One of the planes that actuallyflipped over one of the pilots
when the autopilot flipped off,he flipped it back on and he did
it three times before theycrashed.
Like at one point would you besaying you know, I need to grab
the freaking yoke and startflying the plane well, you
(38:36):
understand why I don't leave ourcountry now.
You're going international nowyou're going international.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Now you're going international.
Yeah, man, that's going tohappen, but I'm playing with my
US pilots yeah you are man, butyou know something.
This one was a US carrier.
I thought that was hilarious.
Yeah, they actually divert,even as a crew member.
If me and you were sitting inthere and you're like, hey, guys
, listen, just want to let youknow we're diverting because the
(39:02):
autopilot's not working Me andyou would have something to say
about that, oh, yeah, I'd be onthem.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Like, yeah, white on rice, dude, I'd be there.
They would not stop me fromfreaking like comment about this
, like are you kidding me?
Do your damn job.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
Exactly, I got a place.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
I got a place.
I got to go Get her the asshome.
Yeah, I got an agenda righthere.
You don't have your freakingconveniences up there.
Speaker 2 (39:25):
I want to get off the plane, your ass can't fly the
damn thing.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
You're going to triple my pay.
Work Exactly, but you can't flythe damn airplane.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Only the autopilot can fly it and he don't want to
fly it no more because he'sunder contract negotiations.
Oh my God.
Anyway, listen, this was good A911 call.
You know where it's from, noExcuse me 911.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
Help me help you.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
Yeah, I'm in an airplane right now.
Where In an airplane?
Where are you at?
I'm in the belly Belly.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Yep when.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Well, I fell asleep in the belly of the plane and
now it's taking off and I'mgoing to get cut off real soon.
So, please, somebody's got tocome get me.
The baggage handler fell asleepin the belly of the aircraft.
And they locked his ass in theylocked his ass in and he got a
911 call.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Dude, here's the thing.
When I heard this story it'sknow I'd be like kicking and
pounding and banging like onbecause the floor of the plane
for the passengers you're justright underneath it.
Like I've been like pounding,trying to make as much noise.
Hey, get me out of this.
Like I gotta be out you knowlike I see, if you were down
(40:38):
there, I'm just turning thevolume up, right, but that's it.
That's the thing.
Everybody in that flightprobably had their headphones on
already.
They were already in theirlittle thing, unless you were
actually moving the plane.
The vibration they're like,what's that thumping?
They probably aren't hearingyou.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Okay, so you're stuck down there now, right, because
you just got cut off from cellservice.
Well, maybe you get Wi-Fi fromcell service because you're well
, maybe you get wi-fi.
Well, here's the thing, man,with starlink you'll get.
Why free wi-fi?
Speaker 1 (41:04):
you could actually text them and tell you tell them
that you're freezing your assoff down here?
It's not installed till yet.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
I would, I would ask you, I'd ask you.
Okay, so you're stuck downthere.
What's the first thing you'redoing?
Dude, I'm making as much noiseas possible okay, I'm going
through the bags and find somewarm ass clothes because it's
going to get cold quick.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Well, that's the thing, is that.
My other thought was they don'talways pressurize that Exactly,
like it's not required topressurize that system, like
people don't realize that anaircraft, like the luggage area,
isn't pressurized.
Speaker 2 (41:36):
And so, unless they have a live animal down there,
you better hope you see a dog.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
You better hope they do.
Unless they have a live animaldown there, you better hope you
see a dog.
Yeah, you better hope they do,because if one, you're going to
get real cold and hypothermia isgoing to kick in real quick if
you don't start.
Yeah, can you imagine if thatreally happened and survival
instincts.
And then you come in and theguy's like baggage is all dang
and the guy's just wrapped up inclothes?
Speaker 2 (41:58):
He's like you, better hope your ass got free wi-fi
baggages are all done.
Speaker 1 (42:03):
You're trying to like it comes off the rack here's
your open bag and you know, yourunderwear is on top of his head
we found the 911 guy.
He's down here he's like apopsicle.
He survived with all yourguys's clothes you get your
underwear on his head.
Right, you do, you do.
You do want to put anything onyour head to keep yourself warm?
(42:24):
That's for sure A little bitdifferent than a wheel well,
right, well, yeah, that'd belike first class.
Yeah, you've got all thisdifferent amenities you can use.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
I wonder if they made him go back.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
The same way, I'd be looking for something to eat,
because people put stuff intheir bags too.
That's true, because people putstuff in their bags too.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
That's true, I'd be looking for a dog and hoping
they're going to pressurize thatcabin.
Yeah, that's crazy man.
Okay, what about the one?
You had?
Two flights diverted fromMexico to Montgomery Alabama
because of the storms.
Yeah, all the passengers, allthese passengers, had to remain
on board for six hours.
Two planes.
Speaker 1 (42:59):
That's great, you know.
So people don't realize likethere's a lot of routes that we
fly that are like just onborders.
You know like we're coming fromCanada to US, or you know like
you're coming over borders andstuff and if you've got a cell
system you know pilots are goingto divert to the closest
airport that doesn't haveweather Right.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
But what's the reason ?
They're stuck on a plane though, Sean.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
They're stuck on a plane because they're in customs
.
No customs, there's no customs.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
No customs, no getting off the plane.
Speaker 1 (43:30):
Yeah, I had a situation like that one time
where we diverted Guy was havinga heart attack on a plane.
We're coming back from Cancun,we're going Cancun to I think we
were heading to San Franciscoand this guy has a heart attack
and you know we're going todivert, so we divert.
But we actually diverted intoEl Paso.
(43:50):
So we diverted from Cancun toEl Paso, dropped down the dude's
having a heart attack,ambulance comes, all this stuff.
They take him off the aircraft.
Guess what happened?
They were not going to let hiswife get off the aircraft
because the customs yeah, I wasthe lead in the flight and I'm.
I looked at the guys, I'm like,listen, somebody better figure
(44:11):
out something, because that guygetting off in the she's going
with him and I'm not doing thatto any family, right?
I said we're not moving theaircraft until we get here off.
I said so, somebody figure itout, because this is you're
talking stupidness.
Nobody's going to tell you, oh,we're going to separate your
families, right here.
But we, we got her off and gotit, the whole things, and their
customs agents finally comethere from whatever they had to
(44:34):
come to whatever.
But uh, that's, that'sridiculous certain circumstances
.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
I can understand that , uh because?
But they're still gonna have tobe a customs person that's
going to have to follow thembecause, for whatever reason,
they're going to have to staywith them.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Yeah, in this situation, like with all the
diversion for weather and stuff,the whole plane's not going to.
You know they're not justdumping the whole plane off.
Speaker 2 (44:53):
Six hours, though, man, I tell you you're going to
run out of every damn thing.
Speaker 1 (45:06):
You're going gonna be giving them every pretzel on
board, those little damn cookies, all those little tarmac
cookies.
You're gonna give them themdamn things away too.
Yeah, water, these are thepasture rules of uh, all this
stuff.
And you know, were these uscarriers too, by the way they
were, but you're gonna.
You're gonna be down todrinking plain water yeah, I
mean there's just you're gonnabe doing whatever you got to do
to like get through it, right,yeah, anyways.
Speaker 2 (45:22):
All right, man, we had another one.
It had a land.
This air bus was landed in SanJuan, puerto Rico, right, and
it's so hard to pieces of itjust came off plane.
Oh shit, you slam the.
You slam that shit down, man.
Speaker 1 (45:38):
When a piece falls off.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
Yeah, but it didn't it.
It didn't.
It actually took back off andand uh, because they didn't
supposedly they didn't have, Ithink they overshot it and uh,
and some pieces fell off.
So they had to actually circleback around.
They had to clean the runawayoff so they could land again
unbelievable dude.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
Uh, hard landings are brutal, brutal.
We've been through hardlandings, yep, I mean like.
I mean you can have hardlandings and planes where, like,
the plane doesn't get damaged,but there's still, even there's
hard landings that the planewhen it does.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
I can't even imagine well, you've seen the wheel.
Well, what happens to the wheel?
Well, it collapses yeah someoneon some of them.
You slam it down, it's going tocollapse the wheel.
Speaker 1 (46:16):
Well, oh, all kinds of things, blow, blow tires Blow
tires out, blow wells, bend thestructures, you know all kinds
of crazy stuff.
The planes now have sensors onthem.
I don't know if you knew thatthe four hard landings Like
there's sometimes, like we mightnot think it's a hard landing
as far as like boom, it wasrough, whatever.
But if the sensor on the planenow they have sensors where if
(46:43):
it goes off um, the plane has tohave this like hard landing
inspection so they have to undothe structural instruction to
the whole plane well, if shitfell off your airplane, that
would be basically that youdidn't even need a sensor.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
You didn't need a sensor.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
Yeah, you just pick the shit up off off the freaking
runway yeah, when you pick upthe piece off the runway, you go
there's.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
There's a little bit of hard line.
Speaker 1 (47:00):
I'm sensing that this was a hard lane A little bit.
Speaker 2 (47:04):
Oh my God, that's unbelievable.
Okay, flight from Sydney to SanFrancisco.
It took approximately nowlisten to this one 28 hours.
No way, yeah, sydney to SanFrancisco 28 hours, diverted
twice.
Speaker 1 (47:18):
Oh my gosh, that's like a round-the-world trip.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
Well, it sounded like yours.
The first one was divertedbecause, well, this is common,
we have medical emergencies.
Yeah, so they had to divert fora medical emergency and they
had to land in Samoa.
Wow, yeah, so they diverted toSamoa for the medical emergency.
Took a little while they tookback off and then they realized
(47:42):
they have another problem theother problem was crew
legalities.
Crew legalities, wow so we'reall timing out.
Yeah, they're all timed out.
Speaker 1 (47:50):
So they had to uh, they had to divert to Honolulu
the crazy thing about that isthat, like the I don't know what
exactly the crew legalities areinternational I'm gonna know
here soon.
But, um, like for the pilots,there's three pilots on those
international trips Right,because you have the
international relief officerthat takes over.
So they do like rotating breaksand stuff, so the pilots
(48:13):
actually get a break to sleepand all that stuff.
But still this is a lot.
That's a long-ass flight.
Speaker 2 (48:20):
Too freaking long for me.
Hey, listen, when you're partof that 28-hour group, you just
let me know, buddy.
Yeah, Because I'll be sittingthere doing my little turn down
here in Florida and I'll be backat home again.
So you just let me know I'm notgoing to be there ever?
Speaker 1 (48:35):
Yes, you will no.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
All right, man Go with the destination.
Speaker 1 (48:41):
Destination man.
All right, man, go with thedestination destination man.
He, you know what?
I don't have a destination, butI was looking on on this, uh,
this uh internet the other dayand, uh, you know, wicked is
like the thing right now.
Everybody, like all my nieces,all my like I have so many
nieces, all the nieces, they'reall running around.
You know, uh, you know I'mpopular, I'm so popular like
(49:01):
they're you should have been onwiki, dude, they're like like
all the songs are wicked,they're just like it's.
It's the thing right now,especially for little girls
right now they're watching thosethings over and over and over
and over.
But uh, I came across a thingwhere you know, um, part of you
know, the wicked story is thewizard of oz.
So the wizard of oz is supercool, but we always thought you
(49:22):
know dorothy's from kansas andstuff, and you're like, well,
where in kansas?
They've always just said she'sfrom kansas.
So some city in kansas this uhliberal kansas decided to claim
dorothy's house and they built ahouse there.
That um the 1939 film, it's areplica of that, and so you can
(49:45):
actually like go into this houseand everything and and see all
of like auntie m stuff and youknow dorothy stuff.
And then their big thing rightnow, um, the house is
constructed with a yellow brickroad outside of it and in the
other thing they've added thisthing where they have a tornado
(50:05):
simulator in it, which I thoughtwas like pretty wild, like I've
seen that one time.
Have you ever seen a tornadosimulator?
no so in chicago if you go tothe science and industry museum,
they actually have a tornadosimulator inside the museum.
So you literally like startthis thing up and they like pump
(50:26):
some smoke and whatever liketheater smoke and you'll see the
freaking tornado.
But this building is like, Igotta say, like six, seven
stories high inside and they'llhave this tornado form in the
middle of the freaking building.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
It's wild all Now going back to Wizard of Oz,
since we were going.
I know, Wicked, who were yourfavorite characters in Wizard of
Oz.
Speaker 1 (50:52):
Well, that's a good question.
I would probably say I wasdigging the Tin man, tin man.
Are the scarecrows probably myguys?
Speaker 2 (51:02):
I like the flying monkeys, the flying monkeys.
I like Fly, monkeys, fly.
Have you seen Wicked?
Yeah, I've seen Wicked, but I'mtalking about the.
You're talking about theoriginal Dorothy, so I'm talking
about the Wizard of.
Speaker 1 (51:17):
Oz.
Right, right, right.
So the monkeys flying were,those were super cool, but the
new wicked like made thosemonkeys so like kind of a
different light to those monkeysI mean there was.
So it was super cool how theydid them and they grew those
wings and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (51:32):
it was wild okay, now you the munchkins, right,
munchkins, you remember that?
Um, we represent the lollipopkids.
See, I knew, you knew, you knowyou know.
Yeah, I love the lollipop yeah.
Speaker 1 (51:47):
The wizard boss has such a.
It's such a cool.
You know the one thing, one ofthe things that we've kind of
like gotten away from in usgrowing up, we always had
traditional movies, like holidaymovies.
Through the holidays, certainmovies always came, came and
went.
Came when they were on tv, ohcool, it's wizard boss time.
You know like oh cool.
(52:07):
And you know christmas we gotfreaking.
You know all these santa clausstories and all you know like
all that type of stuff washappening.
But today is that still evenaround?
no, I mean is that like is it?
Are we out of so touched thatwe're?
That's not.
I don't see that because of theinternet and because of all the
streaming and stuff, we don'thave those like traditions where
(52:27):
we're like the whole familysitting around watching these
cool movies I mean you, you goback to where's it?
Speaker 2 (52:32):

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Yeah, I knew that was coming.
Yeah, but you know, diana Ross.
Speaker 1 (52:46):
Diana Ross yeah.
Speaker 2 (52:48):
I mean, it was unbelievable, I mean, but it was
the simplicity of that and whenyou used to, you've seen this
and it was like even the smallthings, like the monkeys, and
you remember the lollipop Kenand the Wicked Witch how did she
melt?
Speaker 1 (53:08):
Yeah, throwing water on her Water.
Yeah, simple water, yeah.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
