The sensationalism of airline incidents has reached fever pitch in recent media coverage, prompting us to offer a reality check from our perspective as working flight crew. With 45,000 flights taking off daily worldwide, we explain why the occasional mishap shouldn't overshadow aviation's remarkable safety record. From go-arounds (rejected landings) to ground equipment incidents, many procedures that appear alarming to passengers are actually standard safety protocols working exactly as designed.
We dive into the world of disruptive passenger behavior – from the infamous Louis Vuitton bag standoff to people vaping mid-flight and even stripping to try to deplane. While these stories make headlines, they represent a tiny fraction of travelers, with the vast majority being respectful and pleasant. Those few who do cause problems often face serious consequences, including removal from flights, legal charges, and potential placement on no-fly lists across multiple carriers.
Between airline stories, we recount a hilarious adventure as two crew members braved Seattle's steep hills, public transportation, and a $9 scooter ride – only to balk at the $23 Space Needle entry fee. Their journey showcased the less glamorous side of layovers, complete with colorful local characters and transportation mishaps.
The episode wraps with nostalgic reflections on technology evolution – from cassette tapes to CDs to streaming – and a travel guide to San Antonio, highlighting the beautiful Riverwalk, historical Market Square, and the surprisingly small Alamo. Through it all, we emphasize our closing quote: when life gives you reasons to break down, remember you have a million reasons to stay strong and keep smiling.

Hey, have you?
You've seen a lot of this.
Uh, all these incidents in the,in the airlines right going on.
I mean passengers, planes, allthat stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So much shit happening every in the whole
airline.
It's like it feels like it'sunder like this magnifying glass
right now, like everything'shappening with it.
I mean it doesn't matterwhether it's aircraft incidents,
past your behavior, you know,crew, it's crazy.
Everything out there is going.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's going nuts right now okay, now I got something
on that because you know me, I'mon the planes every single day.
I truthfully, folks, I want totell you every single day
because, when he's talking aboutthe wind blowing, yeah, my ass
was up in the plane yesterdayand that freaking wind, he ain't
shitting you.
That wind was blowing.
Yeah, we were all over theplace and we were hitting all
kinds of crazy turbulence.
So, yeah, he was right aboutthe weather there.
(06:09):
But with the incidents with theairlines, let's talk about that
for a minute.
Sean, there's 45,000 flights aday.
Right, 45,000 flights a day.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Something's going to go wrong.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
All the time.
You know what they're doing isthat they're blowing this up in
the media.
You know that they are.
I mean, you know they are.
Let's just talk about a fewthings.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well, they're just sensationalizing anything they
can find just to make it likenews, right?
So I mean you kind of like gotto take everything with a grain
of salt.
There's people that are havingbad days every day, every place,
every industry, right?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
installed.
There's people that are havingbad days every day, every day,
every place, every industry,right?
Yeah, we talked about it on thelast, uh, the other podcast
about the, the incident with theairplane that that flipped up
upside down.
That was a miracle plane, right.
But let me all this other stuffthat's going on when they, when
you see an incident and theysit there and it's like an
aborted landing, rejected tooclose, whatever it is.
How many times does that happen, sean?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Dude, it happens all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
We're in final approach, and then what happens?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, we get rejected like a rejected landing.
We go around all the time.
I mean we don't have enoughfingers and toes in our we're
way past those.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
When they were doing this, I was watching in the news
and the whole time these peoplewere like oh, I don't want to
fly, I don't want to fly.
Quit doing this, because you'rescaring people and this shit
happens every single day.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, Some of these things that they sensationalize,
kind of like go-arounds, it'slike that's normal, like that's
normal procedures in the airlinebusiness.
There's so many reasons why acaptain in charge of aircraft
coming in for a landing is goingto reject a takeoff.
I mean reject a landing, yeah,I mean, if they even think it's
(07:56):
going to be close, whatever it'stheir call, the pilot has total
authority there.
They can decide.
Hey, I'm going around.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, if the distance itself is too close right.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, I mean, you know the plane's not configured
right.
The wind blew us off course,more than we thought, like
there's all kinds of differentvariables that can happen.
But I mean, if I'm with acaptain that goes around, I'm
like, yeah, that's aninconvenience to our schedule,
right, that's.
That's the biggest gripe there.
The biggest gripe in everythingis everybody's.
Oh, you're gonna make me late,but I mean you.
(08:28):
How many times have we heardthat when we're like you know,
15, 20 minutes early?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
yeah, exactly.
But you know, the funny thingtoo is like you'll see these
incidents where, like, groundequipment hits a plane, yeah,
and somebody goes how the helldid you, how'd you miss that
right?
And then you see a stupid videoof a truck that goes underneath
the bypass, that's stuckunderneath bypass.
Well, how in the hell did younot go underneath that bypass,
right?
Because they end up busting upa wing or they tear up a plane.
(08:52):
Or you see some cart that youknow that it just takes off and
starts circling around.
You see that video that onebaggage cart just starts
spinning around a circle.
Nobody could get on that thing.
You can't figure out whathappened.
But then it spins in and ithits an airplane yeah, I saw.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I saw one like a tug.
It was pushing a plane and itstarted spinning out of control
and the tug like flippedunderneath the wing, like
between the wing and the enginelike it was.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Like that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I was like wow, you know, like all these type of
incidents happening.
I was on the aircraft one timewhere I was at the gate and it
was windy out, I mean reallywindy out, and you know we're
deplaning the aircraft and asthe plane was getting lighter
and lighter, people don'trealize all these.
You know, the freaking planewants to fly.
Yeah, it wants to put its noseinto the wind and it wants to
(09:39):
fly.
So as soon as that wind kicksup like that, this plane we were
deplaning, the actual tail ofthe plane, started spinning away
.
So the plane was at the gate.
But now the plane was actuallypushing away and actually
spinning away from the chipbridge and uh, man, I literally
grabbed a lady before she likewalked right off the edge, off
(10:00):
the door, like not even painted.
She just turned the corner andstarted going.
I like grabbed her, boom, anduh I I didn't realize what was
going on at the time.
I knew like we were moving awayfrom the gate and there was a
big gap and all that stuff.
I didn't know if it was memoving or the jet bridge
movement, you know.
You just don't know which wasgoing on, but uh yeah but the
news just blows it out, though.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
right, I mean seriously, they just blow it out
because they want to hypeeverything up.
I mean, I remember years ago,you know the little wheel on the
jetway that keeps it right onthe plane.
The auto level, the auto level,yeah, for the jetway.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Sure To the door.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
We was on a plane and they didn't put the auto
leveler on there.
Oh geez, ripped the door rightoff, sean, yeah, ripped the door
off.
Yeah, that the door off.
Yeah, I mean it folded up likea freaking accordion.
Wow, I mean, it was millions ofdollars worth of damage that
was done just because of onewheel that wasn't on an aircraft
.
And these are incidents, butthis happens.
I mean, this is a business towhere you know there's going to
(10:54):
be incidents happen, but folks,trust me, still is the safest
way to travel.
Don't listen to these guys, man.
I I drive into this airportevery single day.
I worry about deer on 71.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I mean I got to tell you, like people don't realize,
like there are, like I would say, on average about 30 people
that are inspecting that planeevery time it touches down lands
, de-planes, re-planes,everybody like there's a whole
team of people that are checkingthis thing.
I mean Indianapolis doesn'thave shit on us on the pit top.
(11:28):
Oh yeah, we got so many peoplechecking a plane.
I mean, just imagine that, likeyour car, Every time you parked
in your garage there's like 30people checking every instrument
and every freaking system onyour car.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You don't do that.
But you got flight attendants,even like me, and you, you're
checking stuff.
I'm checking stuff, I mean, aseven we're walking through,
we're looking at wings.
Yeah Right, I mean even as acrew member.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
There's so much redundancy in our safety system
for flying.
I mean, incidents are going tohappen, right, but come on,
you've got to look at how manydon't happen, right.
There's so much.
It's like winning the lotterywhen things are happening.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's just like it's just irritating, though.
When they start hyping it, Imean I'm like you guys are just
hyping this up and I get it, butthere's 45,000 flights a day.
Man quit hyping it up when anincident happens like that.
It was phenomenal, those peoplelived, it was great.
I mean, it was just anincredible situation on that
(12:29):
airplane, but now, rest assured,this crap happens every day.
This other stuff that we talkabout, right.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Passengers.
I mean, we talk about this allthe time.
This week was just full of allkinds of crazy-ass people.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Crazy-ass people everywhere.
Man, you can't get away fromthis shit.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
No, every airline.
I mean, they were coveringevery airline.
They were just spanned over allthe airlines.
Florida couple they tried topush past the gate agent.
They were denied boarding,going to Cancun, right.
So let's just look at what thisperson does Instead of hey know
, hey, I'm really sorry, couldyou put me on the next flight?
(13:07):
I apologize, I won't do itagain.
Nope, I'm going to take my hotcoffee.
I'm gonna throw it on your ass.
Oh, geez.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Right, you know people are so stupid, stupid,
Like I mean, what's that solving?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
coffee, right?
Okay.
So now at what point do youthink you'll get on that
airplane after you threw thatcoffee, right?
So you throw the coffee on themand you know who's coming next?
Yep, they're calling the police, right?
So for this stupid, stupidresponse, you're going to get
two counts of a battery charge,right, both of you are.
(13:40):
You got one count oftrespassing and one count of
resisting arrest because youdidn't want to go with the
police officers either.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You know what they were really doing?
They were dousing theirvacation, Putting their vacation
out.
The dude really probably didn'twant to go.
There's some ulterior motive.
This is so stupid that you'relike why would anybody do this?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Okay, let's go back to what we were talking about
with the media.
So what we're talking aboutright now is passengers in the
news, right so?
Now they're blowing this up inthe news too, because you got
passengers incidents and theyjust love to hype that up.
Right, right, so they haveanother passenger.
She has a Louis Vuitton bag.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Now, I know there's no way y'all didn't see this one
dude first of all, when you saylouis vuitton, it cracks me up
because I was like I had apassenger once and then nowhere
this is going.
You know people are always likeit's a louis vuitton, it's so
expensive.
But then you know how manytimes do we see like louis
vuittons on the floor and youknow they kick their bags on the
(14:44):
floor Like it's so crazy.
But I had this one pastor onetime.
She was like she had justgotten like her new coach purse
and she was like I am notputting this bag on the floor,
you know.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I'll blame her.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It's like I am not putting this $300 bag on the
floor.
I'm like my wallet was moreexpensive than that damn bag.
It's so funny, like the valuesystem on the clientele that are
on aircrafts that are differentvalue systems than we all have.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
When you watch this video that was going on between
this passenger and this gateagent.
There's no space on board theairplane, right.
Where the hell are you puttingyour bag?
You're not.
You're going to check that shit.
Nope, there's no policy, shesaid.
For that, show me the policy.
There ain't no damn policy,right.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I love when people will ask me like where's the
rule, Where's the stuff?
Like as if we're supposed tojust flip it out of our freaking
pocket or something.
Right, here's the rule.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Here's where it's written yeah, show me where it's
.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Just because you don't want to put that louis
vuitton down in there, I mean,okay, don't have a louis vuitton
bag, then right, if you don'twant to check that bag, don't
have it yeah, if you don't wantto like, uh, check the bag or
you know, place it in theluggage overhead or place it on
the floor or whatever you thinkthat is going to damage your bag
, keep that shit at home.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
How about getting an Amelia Earhart bag?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
What Amelia Earhart bag?
What's that?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah Well, she's been lost for like what?
100?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
years.
No, those bags that get checkedturn into Amelia Earhart bags.
Right, I just thought AmeliaEarhart.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That would be kind of funny getting a bag like that.
What is that?
That damn thing's been lostforever, so what difference does
that make?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, that agent or the fly agent, they're going to
Millionaire Heart.
That bag, that's what they'regoing to do?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Those two were going back and forth, though, man, you
guys want to see a funny video.
That was actually pretty funny.
Were going back and forth, anddo you think she won?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
No, they're not going to win.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No, no, no.
You're never going to win thatbattle.
Man, I don't care, a thousandtimes over, you're not going to
win that battle.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, he removed her from the flight.
She doesn't even understand therepercussions or what's going
to happen.
She's going to be listed as anon-flyer, competitive, all this
stuff.
A non-flyer, you know?
Competitive, all this stufflike, just because she caused a
stupid incident, just like it'sjust not worth it.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
It's a small percentage, though, right.
Right, I mean it is a smallpercentage because we got great
people.
I mean I, I just got off athree-day trip and let me tell
you, almost every flight I hadsome really cool people.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, man, though that's the beauty of our job.
We love people and we love to,like you know, talk to them and
communicate, interact with themand all that stuff.
I mean, that's the fun part ofour job and that happens 99.9 of
the time.
You know, like not even onepercent of the time do we have
to deal with, you know, sometype of craziness like this, but
(17:42):
you, the news things makes ithappen, you know, think that
it's happening like every day.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, every second they blow it out.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Doesn't matter what flight you're on, something's
going to happen.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
They blow it out of proportion, man, every single
time.
But I'll tell you what, man.
We talk about this all the timeY'all got to quit.
I mean, I understand you gotgas, stop, stop it, man.
About threw up the other nightwhen I was coming in, you're
talking about farting yeah, Imean it was just so bad, sean.
I mean it was so bad, you know.
I mean it really was.
(18:10):
I mean like I was like aboutready throw, it was like coming
up into the galley yeah you knowhow could you do that, though?
I mean you're sitting next tosomebody.
I mean that is, we talk aboutthis all the time and I guess if
your body releases it, you knowlike once, but it's like a
free-for-all up there well, Imean technically speaking, we're
all off gassing all the time,like your body always is like
(18:32):
expelling gases, right, but Imean there are.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I will give it you a uh like benefit of the doubt.
Like there's a lot of peopleout there with you know the
bowel problems and things likethat that you know they just
can't hold it, and it justhappens.
You know, like I, bowelproblems and things like that
that you know they just can'thold it, and it just happens.
You know, like I got a buddythat we, we traveled, we
literally did a car trip down toFlorida, dude, I mean, half the
way I had the windows open hehad uh um, um, freaking, uh,
(19:00):
whatever colon cancer, and he,he, just he couldn't hold it
anymore.
Like it would, just like ithappened, and he just couldn't
hold it anymore.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
It just happened.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I was like dude, you got to stop eating, getting on
some type of diet.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
It was terrible.
It's horrible, man, I'm justtelling you it's horrible.
I mean, we talk about that allthe time, but that is probably
one of the nastiest things.
If you can try to control it,try to control it, because that
is just straight nasty.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Altitude does some shit on your body, though.
Oh, it did some shit on thatperson's body.
That's right, that's for damnsure.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But they had this other first-class passenger.
Now this is a ding-dong right.
This guy was vaping up in firstclass.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Come on Vaping.
First of all, he shouldn't evenhave had that on the plane,
right?
What would you?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
do I mean?
You know?
I mean, if this big cloud ofsmoke comes out of there, right,
I mean, what would you, whatwas your reaction on?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
that I mean, my reaction always is to find out
where it is, where it's comefrom, Right, and then then first
I'm trying to identify it.
Because, you know, first thingwe're doing is we're we're
sniffing, we're trying to figureout is this real smoke or not
smoke?
And all that stuff smoke on aplane.
It shouldn't just happen to bethere, period you don't want to
see.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
It doesn't matter what it looks like, but you want
to.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You know we're trained to do.
You know, identify what it is.
But I mean, I've had people onthe plane and the first thing I
do is, you know I'm like, giveit to me, give it me you know,
like I'm either getting I mean,there's no choice.
Like this, is you?
They know they're not supposedto have it.
Give it to me and uh, we'regoing to talk about this at the
end of the flight.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You know like I don't deal with that nonsense, but if
he's not going to give it to menow, Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
So this guy apparently didn't give it to
anybody.
He wouldn't stop vaping, sothey had to make an emergency
landing.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, but that's when a skilled seasonal flight
attendant is going to turn therest of the cabin on that guy.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, yeah, but you're still.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You're going to have to.
I mean you might have someStill diverting.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Diverting.
Let me tell you somethingDiverting is a very expensive
thing for you being a passenger.
If they have to emergencydivert because of you, oh yeah.
I mean the fines that you'regoing to get, man.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You're going to get a fine because, I mean, the cost
of that, doing just a, just asheer cost of that, is
ridiculous.
Not only are you not getting toyour destination, your
inconvenience and all the otherpassengers on the plane which
you know how many times have weencountered the um, the bubble
boy your girl.
You know, this is their worldand we're just living in it.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You know, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Well, it's like this guy.
I mean, when you're talkingabout this guy, this guy was the
same thing.
It's like he didn't care.
You told him not to do it.
They don't give a shit.
We come across those all thetime, right, we just tell them
simply to put a tray and thenthey look at you like you're
stupid.
I don't understand that.
Everybody else you got 99% ofthat cabin will do exactly
because you're just telling themnice, can you put the tray
table up, seat back up.
(21:40):
And then you get to that oneperson all the time and it's
like you ask them to give themtheir right arm.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, Right.
Or like I didn't do anything,Like why are you talking to me?
Yeah, why are you?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
yelling at me.
You got your headphones on.
You can't hear a damn thing.
Right, you're all the wayacross at the window seat,
nobody can touch you.
But then you touch you.
You're like what the hell areyou touching me for?
Well, because you're not payingattention.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Right, I mean you're not paying attention because
that's what they do.
They don't pay attention andwe're supposed to do what we
need to do.
They still don't pay attention.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I've been on planes like I'm screaming at a person,
sir, sir Ma'am, I want to saybitch, asshole.
But you know it's like—.
I've been with you too.
Right, right, you're screamingat her and finally, you have to
reach over and touch the personand like get their attention
because we got a job to do right.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
We need to—you know something, we need to get one of
those little extension stickswith like a hand on it, with a
cattle prod maybe on it.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
No, like a little hand, right hand extension hand
like an extent we would justlike tap them on the shoulder
right.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That'll do.
That'll work yeah so like didyou touch me?
No, I didn't touch you.
I didn't touch the hand, didthis.
But hey, they had this woman.
This was good, right.
She wanted to get off the plane.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
They told her no, you know what?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
she did what's that?
Got naked.
Got naked, she startedstripping.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Well, that's either a good thing or a bad thing.
I mean, either you're going tocause the plane to evacuate.
The only way you're getting offthis plane is you start taking
your clothes off.
I don't know how that action isgoing to make you get off the
plane.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Just recently she started stripping.
They got her off the plane,though.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yeah, I mean it will get you off the plane.
Somebody will be like you arebutt-ass and freaking crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
They pull back up, they take her off the plane.
But the funny thing about it is, this is what kills me, and you
know this happens sometimes toono charges, no charges.
Not even in decent exposure.
She must have been fine.
All that incubation.
How?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
did?
I know that was coming, man,come on.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
How did?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I know that was coming.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
There's something that somebody was like didn't
stroke that keyboard for areason.
Decent exposure instead of notdecent right.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, that's decent exposure.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
All right, let's talk one more thing Norovirus.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Norovirus.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, that was going on the cruise lines.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Dude, there's so many bugs going around right now.
I mean it's unbelievable.
Everybody in my family andstuff was like sniffing and
coughing and my nieces aregetting sick and you know it.
It's been going aroundeverywhere.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, but you ever want to see bookings go down in
cruise lines.
Yeah, do I ever want I said ifyou ever want to see them go
down in cruise lines, tell themthat they had a norovirus on
that cruise.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Norovirus dude.
Well, first of all, anytimeyou're in any type of isolated
situation where you're on a shipor a plane or you know it's
just like a train, it doesn'tmatter.
You don't want to be confinedwith some type of virus, right?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
No, you don't want to be confined with gas either,
but we are.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's stinky as gas man.
But you know we are.
I mean we're right there andyou know, but they we are.
I mean we're right there and,and you know, now they're
hacking all over the place.
I mean the kids are sniffling.
You gotta, you gotta watch allthe time and we're constantly
telling each other when we seesomeone that's sick, but yeah,
norovirus on the cruise lines,man that right there, that will
definitely dampen their uh,their little, uh, the amount of
(25:12):
people that we put in bookings.
Are you a cruiser?
Yeah, I do like it.
I mean we only did it a fewtimes, but I like it yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, I need to do it again.
I went on one cruise and theexperience was just semi-okay.
I think it's just the way wedid.
It is more so because I'mlooking at some of these
different friends of ours andstuff and we've got a lot of
people that we know that docruises and stuff and uh, I just
think that I think I need tojust give it one more chance,
but it's well, okay, now me andyou know this number one thing
(25:46):
if you do a cruise, it's thefood man.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Let me tell you, if you're going to go on that boat
for seven days, make sure theygot good freaking food.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, the food was.
I mean the food.
I had no complaints about thefood because the food was always
available.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah, but good food not just available though.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, no, no, it was good food.
I didn't have any complaintsabout the food whatsoever, and I
can have as much food as Iwanted to, but it was more of
just like the.
I didn't like the.
You know, a ship is like ouraircraft times 25.
Yeah, but there's a lot ofthings to do on that ship though
, I know, but just like thegetting on and getting off and
(26:24):
all those like thousands ofpeople getting on and off, I was
just like that.
It was terrible, terrible, butanyways, that was just my
experience at one time, butwe'll give it another shot one
day.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I bet, if you went with a group of people, that was
fun.
Yeah, because then you go onexcursions and everything would
be fun.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, I mean we did it, listen.
I mean we did our first cruise.
It was like excursion city.
We did all kinds of excursions.
I did some scuba diving, we didall these boat things and
snorkeling and you know, got offthe ship and did the different
destinations.
The experience was okay.
It was just I didn't like theon-off of the ship and it was
(27:05):
constant on-off.
That's how it kind of felt onthis cruise.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
But you know, nor of ours is bad on cruise, though,
because you know everybody'stouching everything.
Anybody is yeah, it's going tospread fast.
Yeah, not good, but it wasactually kind of spread around
that boat, so they had it in thenews there you go.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It was funny that you brought up to you were talking
about farting my nieces.
I just wrote them this littlestory about, about, because they
always call it tooting.
So, I wrote them this littleStory about trying to teach them
that, you know, tooting is notcool, because they're always
tooting, dude, they'reconstantly.
We can go out to restaurantsand these little girls be like.
(27:47):
And they were like yep, thatwas me, you know like.
They're like proud of it, bearsmake sure they ain't dating
much when they get older.
So I wrote them this story aboutthese two princes fairy princes
that lived in this land and allthis stuff, and they had this
tooting problem and what theyhad to do about it Root tooters
(28:08):
Yep, they got a kick out of it.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
But anyways, hey, I had to tell you went on a three
day trip.
Yeah, right, was telling youwhat are you?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
doing these multiple days.
Man, that thing was worth a lot.
It was worth.
You know if I'm worth.
You know.
You know if I am on a trip forthree days.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
You're working.
It's worth money.
I getting on that plane.
You ain't sightseeing most ofthe time.
Nope, I'm basically I'm, I'mspending a lot of time on that
plane, but I worked with thesetwo guys.
It was a lot of fun.
Um, you know, you know, youknow one of them rich, and uh,
this other guy's name his nameis blake, but it was a lot of
fun.
Uh, we were flying together onthis three-day trip and, uh, and
(28:50):
we ended up overnight.
One of our overnights wasSeattle.
Right Now, you know what's inSeattle, right?
Well, where do you want me tostart?
Well, what are they known fordowntown?
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Well, you know the fish market and then all kinds
of cool stuff.
You know Starbucks startedthere, all kinds of fun stuff.
But what else?
What are you getting?
Speaker 2 (29:15):
at.
Well, blake wanted to go down.
He to go to see the um thespace needle, space needle I've
never done that yeah, spaceneedle.
Seattle, uh, you know, it's a,it's a big iconic thing downtown
.
And seattle, it's a, it's a biglandmark built in 1962 at the
world's fair.
Uh it, it was 605 feet tall,360 panoramic view of the city
(29:39):
of Mount Rainier.
And then what is it?
Just pronounce that, sean Puget.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Sound Puget.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Yeah, that's what it is, Puget Sound.
I thought you'd get a kick outof that.
See, I told you to go ahead andpronounce it Puget Sound.
So I just threw it out therefor you to pronounce it anyway.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
So there for you to pronounce it anyway.
So good, laugh about it.
It's one of the icon signatureoutlines of the city line.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I always do that, I love.
I love doing that with you.
Sometimes, go ahead, justpronounce for me.
Anyway, they had a an elevatorride up to the observation deck
and it was known as the firstrotating glass floor in the
world.
That's cool.
So these guys wanted to go seeit.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah, that's cool.
I've been on many of likerotating restaurants and stuff
like that.
That's kind of cool, likeyou're just sitting there and
you know I don't know how Ican't go around and around.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It would get me sick.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
No, no, no, it goes so slow, dude, it's not even
like.
Oh really, it's like justmoving, like just inches at a
time, like it's just a very,very gradual you know, like I
don't know how, like a rotationtakes you 30 minutes maybe.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Oh, really, yeah, it's like.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
It's not like even that you're moving Philly.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
So check this, you got it, you got it.
You know we always love a goodstory though, though Right.
So we get off the van and theseguys they're like, hey, Gary,
you want to go.
And I'm like, nah, I ain'tgoing.
I ain't going downtown Seattle.
First of all, there ain't me.
Yeah, if they were, if it was me, and I was telling you your ass
(31:07):
is gone, yeah, I'm gone.
I mean, well, that's different.
Though, I mean that's different, that's me and you.
But we get out.
We get out of the hotel van.
What do you think?
The first thing that we smelloverwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Weed, weed.
I'm just going straight to weed, I know, right in front of the
hotel.
You can't get away from it now.
Freaking hate that, sean, I do.
I can't stand the smell of it.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
For me, this is the crazy thing about weed.
Like you know, I grew up inCalifornia the first part of my
life and weed was around right.
I mean, I was born in the 60s,there was lots of weed in
California and I don't know whatit is.
But the weed has changed smell.
The weed when I was a kid didnot smell as bad as it does
today.
(31:49):
The weed today, oh, it stinks.
It stinks man.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
It's just nasty, it stinks, and here's the worst
part.
Here's the worst part.
There was this family gettingout of this SUV, right, and they
had like four kids.
The smell was coming out of theSUV.
Sean, yeah, how could you dothat?
How could you put your kids insomething and, like, you got
four kids coming out of this SUVand all those kids out of the
(32:17):
suv.
In the suv smells like weed.
They don't give a shit.
It's freaking horrible.
I don't, parents don't care.
It's horrible, I know, butanyway, let's go back to the
story.
Yeah, so these guys goingdowntown, so they have to go
down, they have to jump on thetrain.
Okay, so the train ride downwas uneventful.
Yeah, that's unusual forseattle.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
No, no, the no.
The train to Seattle is cool.
Have you been on it?
I have, but I'm saying the ridedown is uneventful is
surprising, right?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
So, anyway, they get down there and they get on the
bus.
Now here comes the part ofSeattle.
So as they sit down next tothem, this guy starts tweaking.
It's just another friendlyneighborhood Seattleer.
Yeah, yeah, he starts tweaking.
He, he, he's just going, he'sjust going crazy.
(33:03):
Now these two are looking athim and the first thing that
they're thinking is is thisguy's going to reach in his bag,
grab some knife and startstabbing people?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, you got to keep your your.
Uh, situational awarenessstarts like going off there,
right.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
That one thing you don't want to do is what Eye
contact?
Sure, because you don't knowwhat this crazy person is going
to start doing.
You have no idea.
So the whole time on the busthey're looking at this person
and they go down to that carrypart to the overview.
Okay, so they get to the bottomof the overview and and and
rich looks up and he's like theygot four hills to climb.
(33:39):
Dude, they're like 80, 90degree hills they gotta climb
there's nothing flat in seattle.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
I mean, if you go to seattle you better have some
good hiking or walking shoes andon, because uh called an
overview for a reason rightright, there's a lot of hills
there they climb up.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
they climb up these four hills, they get up to the
top of the four hills and thenthey got a whole other staircase
about 50, 60 staircases to goup to the top of this damn thing
.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Now most flight attendants they're going to have
a heart attack when they get upthere, most people are going to
have a heart attack.
It's a lot of up and down there, dude.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yeah.
So they get up to the top, theystart looking around and
they're looking around the city.
It's a good view, though it's areal nice view.
I mean, they were showing methe view of it and it's actually
really nice yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I mean I think I talked about this before where,
like Seattle, has like somepanoramic views and cityscape
views that are just like awesome.
I mean they're just signature.
I got a picture that I tookthere in Seattle that's like
amazing.
I mean I caught Mount Rainier,the cityscape, you know there's
a moon in the picture.
I mean it was beautiful.
(34:45):
I mean if you could catch it ona nice sunny day where it's not
freaking.
You know overcast and rainy,you know Seattle's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, it's a beautiful city, except for a few
other things, but anyway.
So they had to go to the needlenow, right.
So they were like well, let'sjust take those scooters,
because you know those scootersare all over the place.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, scooters are the way to go, man.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
So they take that scooter, they jump on the
scooter, they go down there andthey're like it's like I don't
know.
10 minutes down, 12 minutesdown, they jump off there and
they had to pay nine bucks Oneway, one way $9 for a damn
scooter down a hill.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Dude.
First of all, if you're ascooter and you're traveling
hint, hint all flight attendantsand people that travel if
you're going to use thosescooters in the city, there are
like deals where you can getthem like cheaper for like I bet
you anything.
There was like a deal for thewhole day for that was like 15
bucks.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Oh, yeah, Well, no, the fifth.
They could get it $15 for 30minutes.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Oh okay, yeah, I mean they have these, I run these
things and I'm, I'm, I think Isubscribe to like I have the
apps for all of them, becausewhen I get in the city, the last
thing I want to do is be likelooking for the app and you know
what companies here in thiscity and stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
I just want to jump on, scan my phone and go Listen.
If I'm going to pay $9 for acouple minutes, I'm definitely
paying $15 for $30.
Right, right, right.
So then they get to the needle.
All right, they're all ready togo in, they're all excited,
they get to go up to the top.
Yes, $23.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
And they look at it like no way, hell, no, I'm not
going up for $23.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
The whole purpose of this trip.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yeah, they spent all that money to get there.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
You go on a train, train, bus, bus, climb up the
hills to the overview right.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Scooter.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Scooter, $9 for the scooter.
And you get down there andyou're like I ain't paying $23
to go up.
That damn thing, dude, I'mgoing up, I know you are.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
I am going up I know you are.
If I'm doing all thosedifferent transactions, $23 does
not keep me from it.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
They're down there justifying a pizza, a burrito,
something that they can eat.
So just to say that they wentinside the building, they had to
go into the little store that'sdown below there.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I'm sure Rich was in the freaking store taking
pictures and stuff.
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
He kills me, man we're going to have Rich on here
sometime.
I was talking to him about it,rich, we'll get back to the
story, but Rich is a guy.
He rode his bicycle all the wayacross the United States.
I know that boy.
He is like our Forrest Gump.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
He is crazy, crazy, crazy.
He does everything.
He is like our Forrest Gump.
He is crazy, crazy, crazy andhe does everything.
He's a dude.
He's the cheapest kid that canbe.
He is.
I mean, love the dude.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
He is a character, but he is as cheap as he is.
I was dying, Sean.
You know what he did.
Okay, listen, you're going tolove this.
He brought a rotisserie chickenwith him for three days.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
He looked at me and he goes, he goes.
Hey, at least I kept it on icethis time.
Yeah, man see, that's my, mycomment proven right there.
Like you and I, you and I bringfood and stuff, but we don't
bring no rotisserie chicken forthree days on the third day, man
, he was still picking that.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
He was killing me.
He's so funny, such a nice,though, but his story when we
talk about this later about himgoing across the United States,
will be absolutely crazy.
Yeah, we had to get him on theshow.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
I'm so looking forward to that one.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
And he's a funny person.
But anyway, they went to theneedle and Rich was just sitting
there saying it's funny.
They called it the space needlebecause there's a lot of people
that were spaced out fromneedles.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, I'm sure there was many needles laying around
the Space Needle area.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
That's the sad thing about Seattle, though I mean a
lot of these cities, and we saidit before, man, they really
jacked them up.
Yeah, they did, they jackedthem up.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
You know, between the homeless problems that these
cities have and you know, justlike the riffraff that goes with
it, and then you get into themental problems and drug
problems.
I mean it's sad.
I mean when we go on theselayovers like we get, we get to
see all of us, like you get tosee the real rawness of the city
and and and most people are ina bubble.
(39:05):
Sean, yeah, I mean, cities are,cities are beautiful and visit
and stuff that you're going tothose areas to see are going to
be usually cleaned up for themost part.
But I mean, when you get intothe city and you start
transiting throughout the cityand stuff, man, you just get to
(39:28):
see it's real, real and raw.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, it is Okay.
So the ending part of this isthe train ride back.
What happened?
It was real simple.
A guy was trying to light up ameth pipe did you try to share
with him?
I'm sitting here going.
Wait a minute, you got weedgoing, right, weed walking, uh,
(39:51):
tweaking on the bus.
Scooters didn't, didn't get upin a needle and a meth pipe
coming home.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
That's an adventure man.
It cost him a lot of moneyactually to go and do nothing.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
You know what I did, sean.
What's that?
I stayed in a hotel, yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, that was a good trip missed.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Those two were great, though, man, I had a lot of fun
with you guys, flying with youguys.
I do it again a thousand timesover, rich, looking forward to
you being on the show.
What?
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Let's talk about some fun things, fun things man, fun
facts, some stuff that I'vepulled up out of the freaking
archives here.
Did you know on this day in1931 that the uh us first
adopted our national anthem?
Nope, but I'm glad they didyeah, man, I mean, that's 1931,
(40:45):
like you wouldn't think that ournational anthem's been around
that long, you know, right,because uh, you're like, well,
first of all it's 1776, right,so that so it's been around that
long, but it just, it's a.
It's amazing that it took thatlong to adopt.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Right.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Sure, right, right.
So, uh, 2018, there was abottle discovered by a couple
walking on the beach in WesternAustralia.
It's known as the oldestmessage in a bottle Genie, I
would.
There was no genie in it, but Imean, when I was a kid, didn't
(41:20):
that kind of like fascinate you,like you're like, I've always
wanted to, like you know, bewalking around and you find some
treasure, right?
I'm always been that like cool.
I think that stuff is cool.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Those gold doubloons.
They found those too, you know,like on beaches and stuff,
because with the ocean churns upand it comes from the bottom.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff, like you're
walking down a beach and youfind shells.
People always want to look forthat, but finding a message in a
bottle would be super cool.
Yeah, I mean, first of all, Idon't know, even if I wouldn't
be picking up the freakingbottle.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Normally people don't pick up trash right.
You would consider that trashright.
I found a fit bit in there.
I mean it's actually in thesand and in the water yeah,
there's not a treasure not atreasure.
Sorry it wasn't.
It wasn't a note in the bottle,but that'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Right, find an old note dude and they found this
note.
But what I didn't tell you wasthe note was from 1886.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
That's crazy, that is absolutely crazy.
That is, you wonder.
Would the paper actually fallapart, though?
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Yeah, well, I mean, it depends, you know, like, the
elements is what kills all thisstuff.
It breaks it down, right.
So I mean, if it's in thebottle and it's corked off and
it's, you know, sealed off fromall elements, you know when, all
that stuff, you know maybe.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
I guess it did.
It's kind of cool though.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Yeah, anyways, uh, 1912, man, this is all about me
right here.
Oreo sales went on sale for thefirst time in 1912 I wonder
when they had double stuff oh,that didn't.

his patients at a mentalhospital.

Just a mental hospital andcrazy In the same sentence,

Speaker 2 (47:02):
All right destinations.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
Destination man, and today we're going to be talking
about San Antonio.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
Texas.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
San Antonio Riverwalk San Antonio has.
I have so many mixed feelingsabout San Antonio.
I got good feelings, I got somescrewed up, crappy feelings
about San Antonio.
But this is all personal to me,the bad ones, the bad feelings.
Here's my bad feelings.
I'm going to throw it out therebecause we're talking about San
(47:29):
Antonio, because I got somestrong feelings about this.
San antonio is where my fatherdied, so it's always been a city
that's like got a little stainon it for me.
Yeah, the other thing that sanantonio had too is when I moved
there as a kid and uh, you know,I lived there for about two
years it was the first time thatI really really had racism
(47:51):
thrown right in my face.
Really, I mean it was bad.
Yeah, we can go into a lot ofmany, many stories about that,
but this is south and it was theuh, you know, in the in the uh
70s and um, yeah, it is what itis.
That's history, right.
But then san antonio has somecool stuff.
I mean the really cool stuffand cool history.
Yeah, it's got the Riverwalk.
(48:13):
I mean you can't go to SanAntonio and not go down to the
Riverwalk.
I mean Riverwalk's got so manycool places you can walk around
there.
There's shops, there'srestaurants, all kinds of food.
You can get into all kinds ofstuff on the Riverwalk and it
connects like there's a mall onone end of what they're known
for down.
Yeah, it's just they're knownfor that, taking the little
cruise on a boat on the riverwalk, all that good stuff, yep,
(48:35):
um, and river walk was cool, um.
The other thing that's cool andreally was like a uh,
anticlimactic for me, for me is,uh, have you ever been down to
the alamo?
No, well, the alamo, likeyou've heard about that right
and you heard the whole storiesAre you shitting me or have I
heard about the Alamo?
Speaker 2 (48:54):
I'm just questioning, dude.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
I don't know Davy Crockett.
No, you grew up in Illinois.
I don't know what you know you?
Speaker 2 (49:01):
better stop it.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
So anyway, when you go to see the Alamo, have you
been down?
Have you heard of the damn?
Speaker 2 (49:08):
But when you go to see the Alamo, have you been
down?
Go ahead.
No man, I lived underneath arock my entire life.
No, I grew up the same time asyou.
You shouldn't meet.
We had that in history.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
The people listening to the show don't know you.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Yeah, whatever Go ahead, don't know the Alamo.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Remember, this is the guy that said he stayed in his
room in Seattle, so anyways, sothe Alamo, have you seen it in
person?
Yeah, you've seen it in person.
How big is the Alamo?
Not big, it looks like a smallapartment building, right?
Speaker 2 (49:36):
Yeah, I mean it is so small.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
You were thinking like this big, huge, like
mission or something like thatFord and the way they talk about
it in the stories, I mean it issurrounded by like San Antonio
has like engulfed that.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
Like a hut.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
Yeah, it's just, it's so small and it seems so
insignificant, but you got toimagine that, that that mission
was sitting there in an areathat was just nothing but flat
around it.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
There was no city around it, hey Sean.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
Yeah, remember the Alma, remember it.
Okay, I'm remembering it rightnow.
Speaker 2 (50:08):
I know you are.
I'm remembering it.
I know you are All right, go tothe next one, you killed me.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
The other thing, about Seattle too, is I mean not
Seattle about San Antonio, ismy other great fond memory of
San Antonio is that's where Iwent through Air Force basic
training.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
Really.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
Yeah, lackland Air Force Base is right there in San
Antonio and you know everybodythat is in the Air Force, my son
Dalton, yeah, your son,everybody goes through Lackland
Air Force Base, absolutely.
And so good memories, I meanbecause you know I remember
going on leave and the firstthing we did was we went down to
the Riverwalk.
You know, like as soon as weget off base and get out of
(50:46):
there had some, you know, a freeminute to ourselves.
That's where we went, you know,and if you're ever there on a
weekend where the military getstheir break, you're just going
to see them everywhere in ariver walk.
No shit, they're going crazy.
I mean they're just thereeverywhere.
I mean you're just like whoa,what just happened?
You know, ship pulled in orsomething.
You know it's crazy.
(51:07):
But the other thing too is, uh,has lots of history down there.
One of the cool places I alwayslike to visit is this place
called the historical marketsquare and it's like this whole,
like little mexico there, likeit has all these, like like
shops and all these, like youcan get all that stuff that you
get over in mexico, all you know.
You go across, you know, downbrownsville and you go across
(51:27):
the border there all thoselittle teeny shops and stuff has
all those knick-knack crap andall this stuff like ponchos and
hats and all they got it allthere too.
Anything historical likeHispanic and stuff is there in
that market.
But the food they got all kindsof cool food places and when you
talk about San Antonio, thefood, I can't tell you just
pinpoint one place.
(51:48):
You got to go, because the foodis.
I mean, you go to San Antonio,you should be eating either
Tex-Mex or Mexican, right?
Oh yeah, like that's whatyou're eating down in San
Antonio.
But of course they got all theother chains and stuff.
You want a McDonald's, you geta McDonald's, right.
Speaker 2 (52:06):
I'm still looking at you going.
You asked me if I knew thefreaking Alamo.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Oh, you know, life in general, you know, still trying
to do all that stuff.
Unfortunately, bad news in thefamily front Father-in-law
passed away last week.
So all the complications of youknow dad, you know the whole,
you know just, you know humanreaction to that as far as
(01:28):
family and stuff, you knoweverybody goes through this in
life and we're in a state rightnow with our life and our age
and all that stuff A lot ofpeople in the world are.
You know we're all doing.

He has a great familyeverybody's there to support.
It was just, you know, chaosand the whole thing.

entire week and then, uh, nowback to trying to regroup and
resettle and all that stuff.
(02:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
I think a lot of times with uh, when we lose our
parents and I go back to when,when I lost mom um, it's hard,
right, I mean it's.
It's just one of those things.
It's hard and it doesn't matterwhat anybody says to you, it's
a difficult time and you knowthey're just not there and it's
just a hard time.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, I mean, you know I lost my father when I was
16.
So, you know, being anadolescent at the time and, you
know, just beginning tounderstand the world and life
and all that stuff, you know ittook me, like, I would say, a
couple of years before I gotover my father's death, you know
.
So you know it's totallyunderstandable and normal for
(02:55):
anybody to be like.
You know, this, this is notjust going to go away.
You know it's going to, it'sgoing to linger on and you know
your feelings and thoughts andall that stuff are going to
continue, no matter who you are.
But it's natural.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, the best part of it, though.
You know, my mom is always withme.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
He don't come out much, does he?
Yeah, he ain't no punks atonicpill, that's damn sure.
Hey, have you?
You've seen a lot of this.
Uh, all these incidents in the,in the airlines right going on.
I mean passengers, planes, allthat stuff.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
So much shit happening every in the whole
airline.
It's like it feels like it'sunder like this magnifying glass
right now, like everything'shappening with it.
I mean it doesn't matterwhether it's aircraft incidents,
past your behavior, you know,crew, it's crazy.
Everything out there is going.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It's going nuts right now okay, now I got something
on that because you know me, I'mon the planes every single day.
I truthfully, folks, I want totell you every single day
because, when he's talking aboutthe wind blowing, yeah, my ass
was up in the plane yesterdayand that freaking wind, he ain't
shitting you.
That wind was blowing.
Yeah, we were all over theplace and we were hitting all
kinds of crazy turbulence.
So, yeah, he was right aboutthe weather there.
(06:09):
But with the incidents with theairlines, let's talk about that
for a minute.
Sean, there's 45,000 flights aday.
Right, 45,000 flights a day.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Something's going to go wrong.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
All the time.
You know what they're doing isthat they're blowing this up in
the media.
You know that they are.
I mean, you know they are.
Let's just talk about a fewthings.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well, they're just sensationalizing anything they
can find just to make it likenews, right?
So I mean you kind of like gotto take everything with a grain
of salt.
There's people that are havingbad days every day, every place,
every industry, right?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
installed.
There's people that are havingbad days every day, every day,
every place, every industry,right?
Yeah, we talked about it on thelast, uh, the other podcast
about the, the incident with theairplane that that flipped up
upside down.
That was a miracle plane, right.
But let me all this other stuffthat's going on when they, when
you see an incident and theysit there and it's like an
aborted landing, rejected tooclose, whatever it is.
How many times does that happen, sean?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Dude, it happens all the time.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
We're in final approach, and then what happens?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah, we get rejected like a rejected landing.
We go around all the time.
I mean we don't have enoughfingers and toes in our we're
way past those.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
When they were doing this, I was watching in the news
and the whole time these peoplewere like oh, I don't want to
fly, I don't want to fly.
Quit doing this, because you'rescaring people and this shit
happens every single day.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah, Some of these things that they sensationalize,
kind of like go-arounds, it'slike that's normal, like that's
normal procedures in the airlinebusiness.
There's so many reasons why acaptain in charge of aircraft
coming in for a landing is goingto reject a takeoff.
I mean reject a landing, yeah,I mean, if they even think it's
(07:56):
going to be close, whatever it'stheir call, the pilot has total
authority there.
They can decide.
Hey, I'm going around.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, if the distance itself is too close right.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Yeah, I mean, you know the plane's not configured
right.
The wind blew us off course,more than we thought, like
there's all kinds of differentvariables that can happen.
But I mean, if I'm with acaptain that goes around, I'm
like, yeah, that's aninconvenience to our schedule,
right, that's.
That's the biggest gripe there.
The biggest gripe in everythingis everybody's.
Oh, you're gonna make me late,but I mean you.
(08:28):
How many times have we heardthat when we're like you know,
15, 20 minutes early?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
yeah, exactly.
But you know, the funny thingtoo is like you'll see these
incidents where, like, groundequipment hits a plane, yeah,
and somebody goes how the helldid you, how'd you miss that
right?
And then you see a stupid videoof a truck that goes underneath
the bypass, that's stuckunderneath bypass.
Well, how in the hell did younot go underneath that bypass,
right?
Because they end up busting upa wing or they tear up a plane.
(08:52):
Or you see some cart that youknow that it just takes off and
starts circling around.
You see that video that onebaggage cart just starts
spinning around a circle.
Nobody could get on that thing.
You can't figure out whathappened.
But then it spins in and ithits an airplane yeah, I saw.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I saw one like a tug.
It was pushing a plane and itstarted spinning out of control
and the tug like flippedunderneath the wing, like
between the wing and the enginelike it was.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Like that's crazy.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I was like wow, you know, like all these type of
incidents happening.
I was on the aircraft one timewhere I was at the gate and it
was windy out, I mean reallywindy out, and you know we're
deplaning the aircraft and asthe plane was getting lighter
and lighter, people don'trealize all these.
You know, the freaking planewants to fly.
Yeah, it wants to put its noseinto the wind and it wants to
(09:39):
fly.
So as soon as that wind kicksup like that, this plane we were
deplaning, the actual tail ofthe plane, started spinning away
.
So the plane was at the gate.
But now the plane was actuallypushing away and actually
spinning away from the chipbridge and uh, man, I literally
grabbed a lady before she likewalked right off the edge, off
(10:00):
the door, like not even painted.
She just turned the corner andstarted going.
I like grabbed her, boom, anduh I I didn't realize what was
going on at the time.
I knew like we were moving awayfrom the gate and there was a
big gap and all that stuff.
I didn't know if it was memoving or the jet bridge
movement, you know.
You just don't know which wasgoing on, but uh yeah but the
news just blows it out, though.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
right, I mean seriously, they just blow it out
because they want to hypeeverything up.
I mean, I remember years ago,you know the little wheel on the
jetway that keeps it right onthe plane.
The auto level, the auto level,yeah, for the jetway.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Sure To the door.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
We was on a plane and they didn't put the auto
leveler on there.
Oh geez, ripped the door rightoff, sean, yeah, ripped the door
off.
Yeah, that the door off.
Yeah, I mean it folded up likea freaking accordion.
Wow, I mean, it was millions ofdollars worth of damage that
was done just because of onewheel that wasn't on an aircraft
.
And these are incidents, butthis happens.
I mean, this is a business towhere you know there's going to
(10:54):
be incidents happen, but folks,trust me, still is the safest
way to travel.
Don't listen to these guys, man.
I I drive into this airportevery single day.
I worry about deer on 71.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I mean I got to tell you, like people don't realize,
like there are, like I would say, on average about 30 people
that are inspecting that planeevery time it touches down lands
, de-planes, re-planes,everybody like there's a whole
team of people that are checkingthis thing.
I mean Indianapolis doesn'thave shit on us on the pit top.
(11:28):
Oh yeah, we got so many peoplechecking a plane.
I mean, just imagine that, likeyour car, Every time you parked
in your garage there's like 30people checking every instrument
and every freaking system onyour car.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
You don't do that.
But you got flight attendants,even like me, and you, you're
checking stuff.
I'm checking stuff, I mean, aseven we're walking through,
we're looking at wings.
Yeah Right, I mean even as acrew member.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
There's so much redundancy in our safety system
for flying.
I mean, incidents are going tohappen, right, but come on,
you've got to look at how manydon't happen, right.
There's so much.
It's like winning the lotterywhen things are happening.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
It's just like it's just irritating, though.
When they start hyping it, Imean I'm like you guys are just
hyping this up and I get it, butthere's 45,000 flights a day.
Man quit hyping it up when anincident happens like that.
It was phenomenal, those peoplelived, it was great.
I mean, it was just anincredible situation on that
(12:29):
airplane, but now, rest assured,this crap happens every day.
This other stuff that we talkabout, right.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Passengers.
I mean, we talk about this allthe time.
This week was just full of allkinds of crazy-ass people.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Crazy-ass people everywhere.
Man, you can't get away fromthis shit.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
No, every airline.
I mean, they were coveringevery airline.
They were just spanned over allthe airlines.
Florida couple they tried topush past the gate agent.
They were denied boarding,going to Cancun, right.
So let's just look at what thisperson does Instead of hey know
, hey, I'm really sorry, couldyou put me on the next flight?
(13:07):
I apologize, I won't do itagain.
Nope, I'm going to take my hotcoffee.
I'm gonna throw it on your ass.
Oh, geez.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Right, you know people are so stupid, stupid,
Like I mean, what's that solving?
Speaker 2 (13:20):
coffee, right?
Okay.
So now at what point do youthink you'll get on that
airplane after you threw thatcoffee, right?
So you throw the coffee on themand you know who's coming next?
Yep, they're calling the police, right?
So for this stupid, stupidresponse, you're going to get
two counts of a battery charge,right, both of you are.
(13:40):
You got one count oftrespassing and one count of
resisting arrest because youdidn't want to go with the
police officers either.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
You know what they were really doing?
They were dousing theirvacation, Putting their vacation
out.
The dude really probably didn'twant to go.
There's some ulterior motive.
This is so stupid that you'relike why would anybody do this?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Okay, let's go back to what we were talking about
with the media.
So what we're talking aboutright now is passengers in the
news, right so?
Now they're blowing this up inthe news too, because you got
passengers incidents and theyjust love to hype that up.
Right, right, so they haveanother passenger.
She has a Louis Vuitton bag.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Now, I know there's no way y'all didn't see this one
dude first of all, when you saylouis vuitton, it cracks me up
because I was like I had apassenger once and then nowhere
this is going.
You know people are always likeit's a louis vuitton, it's so
expensive.
But then you know how manytimes do we see like louis
vuittons on the floor and youknow they kick their bags on the
(14:44):
floor Like it's so crazy.
But I had this one pastor onetime.
She was like she had justgotten like her new coach purse
and she was like I am notputting this bag on the floor,
you know.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
I'll blame her.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
It's like I am not putting this $300 bag on the
floor.
I'm like my wallet was moreexpensive than that damn bag.
It's so funny, like the valuesystem on the clientele that are
on aircrafts that are differentvalue systems than we all have.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
When you watch this video that was going on between
this passenger and this gateagent.
There's no space on board theairplane, right.
Where the hell are you puttingyour bag?
You're not.
You're going to check that shit.
Nope, there's no policy, shesaid.
For that, show me the policy.
There ain't no damn policy,right.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
I love when people will ask me like where's the
rule, Where's the stuff?
Like as if we're supposed tojust flip it out of our freaking
pocket or something.
Right, here's the rule.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Here's where it's written yeah, show me where it's
.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Just because you don't want to put that louis
vuitton down in there, I mean,okay, don't have a louis vuitton
bag, then right, if you don'twant to check that bag, don't
have it yeah, if you don't wantto like, uh, check the bag or
you know, place it in theluggage overhead or place it on
the floor or whatever you thinkthat is going to damage your bag
, keep that shit at home.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
How about getting an Amelia Earhart bag?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
What Amelia Earhart bag?
What's that?
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah Well, she's been lost for like what?
100?
Speaker 1 (16:17):
years.
No, those bags that get checkedturn into Amelia Earhart bags.
Right, I just thought AmeliaEarhart.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
That would be kind of funny getting a bag like that.
What is that?
That damn thing's been lostforever, so what difference does
that make?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah, that agent or the fly agent, they're going to
Millionaire Heart.
That bag, that's what they'regoing to do?
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Those two were going back and forth, though, man, you
guys want to see a funny video.
That was actually pretty funny.
Were going back and forth, anddo you think she won?
Speaker 1 (16:42):
No, they're not going to win.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
No, no, no.
You're never going to win thatbattle.
Man, I don't care, a thousandtimes over, you're not going to
win that battle.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, he removed her from the flight.
She doesn't even understand therepercussions or what's going
to happen.
She's going to be listed as anon-flyer, competitive, all this
stuff.
A non-flyer, you know?
Competitive, all this stufflike, just because she caused a
stupid incident, just like it'sjust not worth it.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
It's a small percentage, though, right.
Right, I mean it is a smallpercentage because we got great
people.
I mean I, I just got off athree-day trip and let me tell
you, almost every flight I hadsome really cool people.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah, man, though that's the beauty of our job.
We love people and we love to,like you know, talk to them and
communicate, interact with themand all that stuff.
I mean, that's the fun part ofour job and that happens 99.9 of
the time.
You know, like not even onepercent of the time do we have
to deal with, you know, sometype of craziness like this, but
(17:42):
you, the news things makes ithappen, you know, think that
it's happening like every day.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Yeah, every second they blow it out.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Doesn't matter what flight you're on, something's
going to happen.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
They blow it out of proportion, man, every single
time.
But I'll tell you what, man.
We talk about this all the timeY'all got to quit.
I mean, I understand you gotgas, stop, stop it, man.
About threw up the other nightwhen I was coming in, you're
talking about farting yeah, Imean it was just so bad, sean.
I mean it was so bad, you know.
I mean it really was.
(18:10):
I mean like I was like aboutready throw, it was like coming
up into the galley yeah you knowhow could you do that, though?
I mean you're sitting next tosomebody.
I mean that is, we talk aboutthis all the time and I guess if
your body releases it, you knowlike once, but it's like a
free-for-all up there well, Imean technically speaking, we're
all off gassing all the time,like your body always is like
(18:32):
expelling gases, right, but Imean there are.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
I will give it you a uh like benefit of the doubt.
Like there's a lot of peopleout there with you know the
bowel problems and things likethat that you know they just
can't hold it, and it justhappens.
You know, like I, bowelproblems and things like that
that you know they just can'thold it, and it just happens.
You know, like I got a buddythat we, we traveled, we
literally did a car trip down toFlorida, dude, I mean, half the
way I had the windows open hehad uh um, um, freaking, uh,
(19:00):
whatever colon cancer, and he,he, just he couldn't hold it
anymore.
Like it would, just like ithappened, and he just couldn't
hold it anymore.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
It just happened.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I was like dude, you got to stop eating, getting on
some type of diet.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
It was terrible.
It's horrible, man, I'm justtelling you it's horrible.
I mean, we talk about that allthe time, but that is probably
one of the nastiest things.
If you can try to control it,try to control it, because that
is just straight nasty.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Altitude does some shit on your body, though.
Oh, it did some shit on thatperson's body.
That's right, that's for damnsure.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
But they had this other first-class passenger.
Now this is a ding-dong right.
This guy was vaping up in firstclass.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Come on Vaping.
First of all, he shouldn't evenhave had that on the plane,
right?
What would you?
Speaker 2 (19:41):
do I mean?
You know?
I mean, if this big cloud ofsmoke comes out of there, right,
I mean, what would you, whatwas your reaction on?
Speaker 1 (19:47):
that I mean, my reaction always is to find out
where it is, where it's comefrom, Right, and then then first
I'm trying to identify it.
Because, you know, first thingwe're doing is we're we're
sniffing, we're trying to figureout is this real smoke or not
smoke?
And all that stuff smoke on aplane.
It shouldn't just happen to bethere, period you don't want to
see.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
It doesn't matter what it looks like, but you want
to.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
You know we're trained to do.
You know, identify what it is.
But I mean, I've had people onthe plane and the first thing I
do is, you know I'm like, giveit to me, give it me you know,
like I'm either getting I mean,there's no choice.
Like this, is you?
They know they're not supposedto have it.
Give it to me and uh, we'regoing to talk about this at the
end of the flight.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
You know like I don't deal with that nonsense, but if
he's not going to give it to menow, Okay.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
So this guy apparently didn't give it to
anybody.
He wouldn't stop vaping, sothey had to make an emergency
landing.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Yeah, but that's when a skilled seasonal flight
attendant is going to turn therest of the cabin on that guy.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Yeah, yeah, but you're still.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You're going to have to.
I mean you might have someStill diverting.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
Diverting.
Let me tell you somethingDiverting is a very expensive
thing for you being a passenger.
If they have to emergencydivert because of you, oh yeah.
I mean the fines that you'regoing to get, man.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
You're going to get a fine because, I mean, the cost
of that, doing just a, just asheer cost of that, is
ridiculous.
Not only are you not getting toyour destination, your
inconvenience and all the otherpassengers on the plane which
you know how many times have weencountered the um, the bubble
boy your girl.
You know, this is their worldand we're just living in it.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
All the time.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You know, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Well, it's like this guy.
I mean, when you're talkingabout this guy, this guy was the
same thing.
It's like he didn't care.
You told him not to do it.
They don't give a shit.
We come across those all thetime, right, we just tell them
simply to put a tray and thenthey look at you like you're
stupid.
I don't understand that.
Everybody else you got 99% ofthat cabin will do exactly
because you're just telling themnice, can you put the tray
table up, seat back up.
(21:40):
And then you get to that oneperson all the time and it's
like you ask them to give themtheir right arm.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Yeah, Right.
Or like I didn't do anything,Like why are you talking to me?
Yeah, why are you?
Speaker 2 (21:51):
yelling at me.
You got your headphones on.
You can't hear a damn thing.
Right, you're all the wayacross at the window seat,
nobody can touch you.
But then you touch you.
You're like what the hell areyou touching me for?
Well, because you're not payingattention.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Right, I mean you're not paying attention because
that's what they do.
They don't pay attention andwe're supposed to do what we
need to do.
They still don't pay attention.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
I've been on planes like I'm screaming at a person,
sir, sir Ma'am, I want to saybitch, asshole.
But you know it's like—.
I've been with you too.
Right, right, you're screamingat her and finally, you have to
reach over and touch the personand like get their attention
because we got a job to do right.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
We need to—you know something, we need to get one of
those little extension stickswith like a hand on it, with a
cattle prod maybe on it.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
No, like a little hand, right hand extension hand
like an extent we would justlike tap them on the shoulder
right.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
That'll do.
That'll work yeah so like didyou touch me?
No, I didn't touch you.
I didn't touch the hand, didthis.
But hey, they had this woman.
This was good, right.
She wanted to get off the plane.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
They told her no, you know what?
Speaker 2 (22:55):
she did what's that?
Got naked.
Got naked, she startedstripping.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Well, that's either a good thing or a bad thing.
I mean, either you're going tocause the plane to evacuate.
The only way you're getting offthis plane is you start taking
your clothes off.
I don't know how that action isgoing to make you get off the
plane.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Just recently she started stripping.
They got her off the plane,though.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yeah, I mean it will get you off the plane.
Somebody will be like you arebutt-ass and freaking crazy.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
They pull back up, they take her off the plane.
But the funny thing about it is, this is what kills me, and you
know this happens sometimes toono charges, no charges.
Not even in decent exposure.
She must have been fine.
All that incubation.
How?
Speaker 1 (23:42):
did?
I know that was coming, man,come on.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
How did?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I know that was coming.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
There's something that somebody was like didn't
stroke that keyboard for areason.
Decent exposure instead of notdecent right.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Yeah, that's decent exposure.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
All right, let's talk one more thing Norovirus.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Norovirus.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, that was going on the cruise lines.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Dude, there's so many bugs going around right now.
I mean it's unbelievable.
Everybody in my family andstuff was like sniffing and
coughing and my nieces aregetting sick and you know it.
It's been going aroundeverywhere.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Yeah, but you ever want to see bookings go down in
cruise lines.
Yeah, do I ever want I said ifyou ever want to see them go
down in cruise lines, tell themthat they had a norovirus on
that cruise.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Norovirus dude.
Well, first of all, anytimeyou're in any type of isolated
situation where you're on a shipor a plane or you know it's
just like a train, it doesn'tmatter.
You don't want to be confinedwith some type of virus, right?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
No, you don't want to be confined with gas either,
but we are.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Yeah, that's going to happen.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
It's stinky as gas man.
But you know we are.
I mean we're right there andyou know, but they we are.
I mean we're right there and,and you know, now they're
hacking all over the place.
I mean the kids are sniffling.
You gotta, you gotta watch allthe time and we're constantly
telling each other when we seesomeone that's sick, but yeah,
norovirus on the cruise lines,man that right there, that will
definitely dampen their uh,their little, uh, the amount of
(25:12):
people that we put in bookings.
Are you a cruiser?
Yeah, I do like it.
I mean we only did it a fewtimes, but I like it yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Yeah, I need to do it again.
I went on one cruise and theexperience was just semi-okay.
I think it's just the way wedid.
It is more so because I'mlooking at some of these
different friends of ours andstuff and we've got a lot of
people that we know that docruises and stuff and uh, I just
think that I think I need tojust give it one more chance,
but it's well, okay, now me andyou know this number one thing
(25:46):
if you do a cruise, it's thefood man.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Let me tell you, if you're going to go on that boat
for seven days, make sure theygot good freaking food.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Yeah, the food was.
I mean the food.
I had no complaints about thefood because the food was always
available.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Yeah, but good food not just available though.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Yeah, no, no, it was good food.
I didn't have any complaintsabout the food whatsoever, and I
can have as much food as Iwanted to, but it was more of
just like the.
I didn't like the.
You know, a ship is like ouraircraft times 25.
Yeah, but there's a lot ofthings to do on that ship though
, I know, but just like thegetting on and getting off and
(26:24):
all those like thousands ofpeople getting on and off, I was
just like that.
It was terrible, terrible, butanyways, that was just my
experience at one time, butwe'll give it another shot one
day.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
I bet, if you went with a group of people, that was
fun.
Yeah, because then you go onexcursions and everything would
be fun.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Yeah, I mean we did it, listen.
I mean we did our first cruise.
It was like excursion city.
We did all kinds of excursions.
I did some scuba diving, we didall these boat things and
snorkeling and you know, got offthe ship and did the different
destinations.
The experience was okay.
It was just I didn't like theon-off of the ship and it was
(27:05):
constant on-off.
That's how it kind of felt onthis cruise.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
But you know, nor of ours is bad on cruise, though,
because you know everybody'stouching everything.
Anybody is yeah, it's going tospread fast.
Yeah, not good, but it wasactually kind of spread around
that boat, so they had it in thenews there you go.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
It was funny that you brought up to you were talking
about farting my nieces.
I just wrote them this littlestory about, about, because they
always call it tooting.
So, I wrote them this littleStory about trying to teach them
that, you know, tooting is notcool, because they're always
tooting, dude, they'reconstantly.
We can go out to restaurantsand these little girls be like.
(27:47):
And they were like yep, thatwas me, you know like.
They're like proud of it, bearsmake sure they ain't dating
much when they get older.
So I wrote them this story aboutthese two princes fairy princes
that lived in this land and allthis stuff, and they had this
tooting problem and what theyhad to do about it Root tooters
(28:08):
Yep, they got a kick out of it.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
But anyways, hey, I had to tell you went on a three
day trip.
Yeah, right, was telling youwhat are you?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
doing these multiple days.
Man, that thing was worth a lot.
It was worth.
You know if I'm worth.
You know.
You know if I am on a trip forthree days.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
You're working.
It's worth money.
I getting on that plane.
You ain't sightseeing most ofthe time.
Nope, I'm basically I'm, I'mspending a lot of time on that
plane, but I worked with thesetwo guys.
It was a lot of fun.
Um, you know, you know, youknow one of them rich, and uh,
this other guy's name his nameis blake, but it was a lot of
fun.
Uh, we were flying together onthis three-day trip and, uh, and
(28:50):
we ended up overnight.
One of our overnights wasSeattle.
Right Now, you know what's inSeattle, right?
Well, where do you want me tostart?

Well, blake wanted to go down.
He to go to see the um thespace needle, space needle I've
never done that yeah, spaceneedle.
Seattle, uh, you know, it's a,it's a big iconic thing downtown

So good, laugh about it.
It's one of the icon signatureoutlines of the city line.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
I always do that, I love.
I love doing that with you.
Sometimes, go ahead, justpronounce for me.
Anyway, they had a an elevatorride up to the observation deck
and it was known as the firstrotating glass floor in the
world.
That's cool.
So these guys wanted to go seeit.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah, that's cool.
I've been on many of likerotating restaurants and stuff
like that.
That's kind of cool, likeyou're just sitting there and
you know I don't know how Ican't go around and around.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
It would get me sick.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
No, no, no, it goes so slow, dude, it's not even
like.
Oh really, it's like justmoving, like just inches at a
time, like it's just a very,very gradual you know, like I
don't know how, like a rotationtakes you 30 minutes maybe.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Oh, really, yeah, it's like.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
It's not like even that you're moving Philly.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
So check this, you got it, you got it.
You know we always love a goodstory though, though Right.
So we get off the van and theseguys they're like, hey, Gary,
you want to go.
And I'm like, nah, I ain'tgoing.
I ain't going downtown Seattle.
First of all, there ain't me.
Yeah, if they were, if it was me, and I was telling you your ass
(31:07):
is gone, yeah, I'm gone.
I mean, well, that's different.
Though, I mean that's different, that's me and you.
But we get out.
We get out of the hotel van.
What do you think?
The first thing that we smelloverwhelmingly.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Weed, weed.
I'm just going straight to weed, I know, right in front of the
hotel.
You can't get away from it now.
Freaking hate that, sean, I do.
I can't stand the smell of it.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
For me, this is the crazy thing about weed.
Like you know, I grew up inCalifornia the first part of my
life and weed was around right.
I mean, I was born in the 60s,there was lots of weed in
California and I don't know whatit is.
But the weed has changed smell.
The weed when I was a kid didnot smell as bad as it does
today.
(31:49):
The weed today, oh, it stinks.
It stinks man.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
It's just nasty, it stinks, and here's the worst
part.
Here's the worst part.
There was this family gettingout of this SUV, right, and they
had like four kids.
The smell was coming out of theSUV.
Sean, yeah, how could you dothat?
How could you put your kids insomething and, like, you got
four kids coming out of this SUVand all those kids out of the
(32:17):
suv.
In the suv smells like weed.
They don't give a shit.
It's freaking horrible.
I don't, parents don't care.
It's horrible, I know, butanyway, let's go back to the
story.
Yeah, so these guys goingdowntown, so they have to go
down, they have to jump on thetrain.
Okay, so the train ride downwas uneventful.
Yeah, that's unusual forseattle.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
No, no, the no.
The train to Seattle is cool.
Have you been on it?
I have, but I'm saying the ridedown is uneventful is
surprising, right?
Speaker 2 (32:42):
So, anyway, they get down there and they get on the
bus.
Now here comes the part ofSeattle.
So as they sit down next tothem, this guy starts tweaking.
It's just another friendlyneighborhood Seattleer.
Yeah, yeah, he starts tweaking.
He, he, he's just going, he'sjust going crazy.
(33:03):
Now these two are looking athim and the first thing that
they're thinking is is thisguy's going to reach in his bag,
grab some knife and startstabbing people?
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, you got to keep your your.
Uh, situational awarenessstarts like going off there,
right.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
That one thing you don't want to do is what Eye
contact?
Sure, because you don't knowwhat this crazy person is going
to start doing.
You have no idea.
So the whole time on the busthey're looking at this person
and they go down to that carrypart to the overview.
Okay, so they get to the bottomof the overview and and and
rich looks up and he's like theygot four hills to climb.
(33:39):
Dude, they're like 80, 90degree hills they gotta climb
there's nothing flat in seattle.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
I mean, if you go to seattle you better have some
good hiking or walking shoes andon, because uh called an
overview for a reason rightright, there's a lot of hills
there they climb up.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
they climb up these four hills, they get up to the
top of the four hills and thenthey got a whole other staircase
about 50, 60 staircases to goup to the top of this damn thing
.
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Now most flight attendants they're going to have
a heart attack when they get upthere, most people are going to
have a heart attack.
It's a lot of up and down there, dude.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yeah.
So they get up to the top, theystart looking around and
they're looking around the city.
It's a good view, though it's areal nice view.
I mean, they were showing methe view of it and it's actually
really nice yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
I mean I think I talked about this before where,
like Seattle, has like somepanoramic views and cityscape
views that are just like awesome.
I mean they're just signature.
I got a picture that I tookthere in Seattle that's like
amazing.
I mean I caught Mount Rainier,the cityscape, you know there's
a moon in the picture.
I mean it was beautiful.
(34:45):
I mean if you could catch it ona nice sunny day where it's not
freaking.
You know overcast and rainy,you know Seattle's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, it's a beautiful city, except for a few
other things, but anyway.
So they had to go to the needlenow, right.
So they were like well, let'sjust take those scooters,
because you know those scootersare all over the place.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
Yeah, scooters are the way to go, man.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
So they take that scooter, they jump on the
scooter, they go down there andthey're like it's like I don't
know.
10 minutes down, 12 minutesdown, they jump off there and
they had to pay nine bucks Oneway, one way $9 for a damn
scooter down a hill.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Dude.
First of all, if you're ascooter and you're traveling
hint, hint all flight attendantsand people that travel if
you're going to use thosescooters in the city, there are
like deals where you can getthem like cheaper for like I bet
you anything.
There was like a deal for thewhole day for that was like 15
bucks.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Oh, yeah, Well, no, the fifth.
They could get it $15 for 30minutes.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
Oh okay, yeah, I mean they have these, I run these
things and I'm, I'm, I think Isubscribe to like I have the
apps for all of them, becausewhen I get in the city, the last
thing I want to do is be likelooking for the app and you know
what companies here in thiscity and stuff.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
I just want to jump on, scan my phone and go Listen.
If I'm going to pay $9 for acouple minutes, I'm definitely
paying $15 for $30.
Right, right, right.
So then they get to the needle.
All right, they're all ready togo in, they're all excited,
they get to go up to the top.
Yes, $23.
Speaker 1 (36:27):
And they look at it like no way, hell, no, I'm not
going up for $23.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
The whole purpose of this trip.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Yeah, they spent all that money to get there.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
You go on a train, train, bus, bus, climb up the
hills to the overview right.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Scooter.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Scooter, $9 for the scooter.
And you get down there andyou're like I ain't paying $23
to go up.
That damn thing, dude, I'mgoing up, I know you are.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
I am going up I know you are.
If I'm doing all thosedifferent transactions, $23 does
not keep me from it.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
They're down there justifying a pizza, a burrito,
something that they can eat.
So just to say that they wentinside the building, they had to
go into the little store that'sdown below there.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
I'm sure Rich was in the freaking store taking
pictures and stuff.
I'm here.
Speaker 2 (37:16):
He kills me, man we're going to have Rich on here
sometime.
I was talking to him about it,rich, we'll get back to the
story, but Rich is a guy.
He rode his bicycle all the wayacross the United States.
I know that boy.
He is like our Forrest Gump.
Speaker 1 (37:31):
He is crazy, crazy, crazy.
He does everything.
He is like our Forrest Gump.
He is crazy, crazy, crazy andhe does everything.
He's a dude.
He's the cheapest kid that canbe.
He is.
I mean, love the dude.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
He is a character, but he is as cheap as he is.
I was dying, Sean.
You know what he did.
Okay, listen, you're going tolove this.
He brought a rotisserie chickenwith him for three days.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
He looked at me and he goes, he goes.
Hey, at least I kept it on icethis time.
Yeah, man see, that's my, mycomment proven right there.
Like you and I, you and I bringfood and stuff, but we don't
bring no rotisserie chicken forthree days on the third day, man
, he was still picking that.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
He was killing me.
He's so funny, such a nice,though, but his story when we
talk about this later about himgoing across the United States,
will be absolutely crazy.
Yeah, we had to get him on theshow.
Speaker 1 (38:21):
I'm so looking forward to that one.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
And he's a funny person.
But anyway, they went to theneedle and Rich was just sitting
there saying it's funny.
They called it the space needlebecause there's a lot of people
that were spaced out fromneedles.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, I'm sure there was many needles laying around
the Space Needle area.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
That's the sad thing about Seattle, though I mean a
lot of these cities, and we saidit before, man, they really
jacked them up.
Yeah, they did, they jackedthem up.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
You know, between the homeless problems that these
cities have and you know, justlike the riffraff that goes with
it, and then you get into themental problems and drug
problems.
I mean it's sad.
I mean when we go on theselayovers like we get, we get to
see all of us, like you get tosee the real rawness of the city
and and and most people are ina bubble.
(39:05):
Sean, yeah, I mean, cities are,cities are beautiful and visit
and stuff that you're going tothose areas to see are going to
be usually cleaned up for themost part.
But I mean, when you get intothe city and you start
transiting throughout the cityand stuff, man, you just get to
(39:28):
see it's real, real and raw.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, it is Okay.
So the ending part of this isthe train ride back.
What happened?
It was real simple.
A guy was trying to light up ameth pipe did you try to share
with him?
I'm sitting here going.
Wait a minute, you got weedgoing, right, weed walking, uh,
(39:51):
tweaking on the bus.
Scooters didn't, didn't get upin a needle and a meth pipe
coming home.
Speaker 1 (39:59):
That's an adventure man.
It cost him a lot of moneyactually to go and do nothing.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
You know what I did, sean.
What's that?
I stayed in a hotel, yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Yeah, that was a good trip missed.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Those two were great, though, man, I had a lot of fun
with you guys, flying with youguys.
I do it again a thousand timesover, rich, looking forward to
you being on the show.
What?
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Let's talk about some fun things, fun things man, fun
facts, some stuff that I'vepulled up out of the freaking
archives here.
Did you know on this day in1931 that the uh us first
adopted our national anthem?
Nope, but I'm glad they didyeah, man, I mean, that's 1931,
(40:45):
like you wouldn't think that ournational anthem's been around
that long, you know, right,because uh, you're like, well,
first of all it's 1776, right,so that so it's been around that
long, but it just, it's a.
It's amazing that it took thatlong to adopt.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Right.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Sure, right, right.
So, uh, 2018, there was abottle discovered by a couple
walking on the beach in WesternAustralia.
It's known as the oldestmessage in a bottle Genie, I
would.
There was no genie in it, but Imean, when I was a kid, didn't
(41:20):
that kind of like fascinate you,like you're like, I've always
wanted to, like you know, bewalking around and you find some
treasure, right?
I'm always been that like cool.
I think that stuff is cool.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Those gold doubloons.
They found those too, you know,like on beaches and stuff,
because with the ocean churns upand it comes from the bottom.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Yeah, there's all kinds of stuff, like you're
walking down a beach and youfind shells.
People always want to look forthat, but finding a message in a
bottle would be super cool.
Yeah, I mean, first of all, Idon't know, even if I wouldn't
be picking up the freakingbottle.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
Normally people don't pick up trash right.
You would consider that trashright.
I found a fit bit in there.
I mean it's actually in thesand and in the water yeah,
there's not a treasure not atreasure.
Sorry it wasn't.
It wasn't a note in the bottle,but that'd be kind of cool.
Speaker 1 (42:08):
Right, find an old note dude and they found this
note.
But what I didn't tell you wasthe note was from 1886.
Speaker 2 (42:17):
That's crazy, that is absolutely crazy.
That is, you wonder.
Would the paper actually fallapart, though?
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Yeah, well, I mean, it depends, you know, like, the
elements is what kills all thisstuff.
It breaks it down, right.
So I mean, if it's in thebottle and it's corked off and
it's, you know, sealed off fromall elements, you know when, all
that stuff, you know maybe.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
I guess it did.
It's kind of cool though.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Yeah, anyways, uh, 1912, man, this is all about me
right here.
Oreo sales went on sale for thefirst time in 1912 I wonder
when they had double stuff oh,that didn't.
I don't know.
That's a, that's a google andthat's a google question.
I hate the shit out of somegoogle double stuffs, I mean you
(43:04):
don't like.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
No, I love oh man.
Oh, I was gonna say I know Ilove double stuff.
I normally have a packageupstairs and downstairs, yeah,
double stuff, man, I'd killthose, yeah I, and downstairs,
yeah double stuff, man, I'd killthose.
Speaker 1 (43:12):

We're going back a couple weekshere, all right, anyways, night
1897, uh, a doctor, johnkellogg, served the first
(44:02):
cornflake, and the crazy thingabout it is that the doctor
believed that a strict diet ofthese cornflakes would benefit
his patients at a mentalhospital.
How crazy is that.
Speaker 2 (44:14):
Well, that's kind of crazy.
Just a mental hospital andcrazy In the same sentence,
right and cornflakes.
Speaker 1 (44:24):
Well, I mean, we go through all these remedies and
different things that are outthere, right, and you start
thinking about how, how, likescience has changed.
But here's a doctor back.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
He made that shit up, Sean 1896.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
He still made a cornflake is going to like help

Yep, it all went obviously toone device.
Now, pretty cool, yeah, it is.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
All right destinations.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
Destination man, and today we're going to be talking
about San Antonio.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
Texas.
Speaker 1 (47:09):
San Antonio Riverwalk San Antonio has.
I have so many mixed feelingsabout San Antonio.
I got good feelings, I got somescrewed up, crappy feelings
about San Antonio.
But this is all personal to me,the bad ones, the bad feelings.
Here's my bad feelings.
I'm going to throw it out therebecause we're talking about San
(47:29):
Antonio, because I got somestrong feelings about this.
San antonio is where my fatherdied, so it's always been a city
that's like got a little stainon it for me.
Yeah, the other thing that sanantonio had too is when I moved
there as a kid and uh, you know,I lived there for about two
years it was the first time thatI really really had racism
(47:51):
thrown right in my face.
Really, I mean it was bad.
Yeah, we can go into a lot ofmany, many stories about that,
but this is south and it was theuh, you know, in the in the uh
70s and um, yeah, it is what itis.
That's history, right.
But then san antonio has somecool stuff.
I mean the really cool stuffand cool history.
Yeah, it's got the Riverwalk.
(48:13):
I mean you can't go to SanAntonio and not go down to the
Riverwalk.
I mean Riverwalk's got so manycool places you can walk around
there.
There's shops, there'srestaurants, all kinds of food.
You can get into all kinds ofstuff on the Riverwalk and it
connects like there's a mall onone end of what they're known
for down.
Yeah, it's just they're knownfor that, taking the little
cruise on a boat on the riverwalk, all that good stuff, yep,
(48:35):
um, and river walk was cool, um.
The other thing that's cool andreally was like a uh,
anticlimactic for me, for me is,uh, have you ever been down to
the alamo?
No, well, the alamo, likeyou've heard about that right
and you heard the whole storiesAre you shitting me or have I
heard about the Alamo?
Speaker 2 (48:54):
I'm just questioning, dude.
Speaker 1 (48:56):
I don't know Davy Crockett.
No, you grew up in Illinois.
I don't know what you know you?
Speaker 2 (49:01):
better stop it.
Speaker 1 (49:04):
So anyway, when you go to see the Alamo, have you
been down?
Have you heard of the damn?
Speaker 2 (49:08):
But when you go to see the Alamo, have you been
down?
Go ahead.
No man, I lived underneath arock my entire life.
No, I grew up the same time asyou.
You shouldn't meet.
We had that in history.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
The people listening to the show don't know you.
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Yeah, whatever Go ahead, don't know the Alamo.
Speaker 1 (49:25):
Remember, this is the guy that said he stayed in his
room in Seattle, so anyways, sothe Alamo, have you seen it in
person?
Yeah, you've seen it in person.
How big is the Alamo?
Not big, it looks like a smallapartment building, right?
Speaker 2 (49:36):
Yeah, I mean it is so small.
Speaker 1 (49:39):
You were thinking like this big, huge, like
mission or something like thatFord and the way they talk about
it in the stories, I mean it issurrounded by like San Antonio
has like engulfed that.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
Like a hut.
Speaker 1 (49:51):
Yeah, it's just, it's so small and it seems so
insignificant, but you got toimagine that, that that mission
was sitting there in an areathat was just nothing but flat
around it.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
There was no city around it, hey Sean.
Speaker 1 (50:04):
Yeah, remember the Alma, remember it.
Okay, I'm remembering it rightnow.
Speaker 2 (50:08):
I know you are.
I'm remembering it.
I know you are All right, go tothe next one, you killed me.
Speaker 1 (50:12):
The other thing, about Seattle too, is I mean not
Seattle about San Antonio, ismy other great fond memory of
San Antonio is that's where Iwent through Air Force basic
training.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
Really.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
Yeah, lackland Air Force Base is right there in San
Antonio and you know everybodythat is in the Air Force, my son
Dalton, yeah, your son,everybody goes through Lackland
Air Force Base, absolutely.
And so good memories, I meanbecause you know I remember
going on leave and the firstthing we did was we went down to
the Riverwalk.
You know, like as soon as weget off base and get out of
(50:46):
there had some, you know, a freeminute to ourselves.
That's where we went, you know,and if you're ever there on a
weekend where the military getstheir break, you're just going
to see them everywhere in ariver walk.
No shit, they're going crazy.
I mean they're just thereeverywhere.
I mean you're just like whoa,what just happened?
You know, ship pulled in orsomething.
You know it's crazy.
(51:07):
But the other thing too is, uh,has lots of history down there.
One of the cool places I alwayslike to visit is this place
called the historical marketsquare and it's like this whole,
like little mexico there, likeit has all these, like like
shops and all these, like youcan get all that stuff that you
get over in mexico, all you know.
You go across, you know, downbrownsville and you go across
(51:27):
