When paradise beckons spring breakers, danger sometimes lurks beneath the surface. Shawn and G tackle the massive spring break travel season by sharing crucial safety information every traveler should know before boarding their flight.
The episode opens with a harrowing account of a Tampa flight gone wrong, where severe weather trapped passengers on the tarmac for hours despite the crew's best efforts to get them to their destination. This no-win situation highlights how Mother Nature can disrupt even the most meticulous travel plans, leaving flight crews to bear the brunt of passenger frustration.
As millions flock to popular destinations like Panama City, Cancun, and South Padre Island, the FBI has issued serious warnings for Americans traveling abroad. The hosts provide vital context about the false sense of security many travelers have when visiting international destinations, sharing sobering advice about knowing the location of U.S. embassies and understanding that American laws don't protect you overseas. With recent troubling incidents in Punta Cana making headlines, their firsthand expertise offers essential guidance for staying safe while having fun.
The conversation takes several entertaining detours, including an encounter with a first-class seat thief, discussions about "dragon breath" passengers, and the unique character types that emerge during spring break travel season. They wrap up with a spotlight on Key Largo as their destination of the week, highlighting its world-class diving, fishing, and seafood offerings.
Whether you're planning your own getaway or simply curious about what flight crews experience during this chaotic travel season, this episode delivers insider knowledge that could make or break your next vacation. Have you prepared properly for your international adventure? The answer might determine whether your spring break memories are wonderful or worrisome.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, I don't know if smokers don't realize that.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
No, I don't think they do.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, that sense is just like that smell has just
been burnt out.
Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
But you're super sensitive to it.
I mean, anybody that doesn'tsmoke is super sensitive.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, it's kind of like that smoker that's sitting
next to you on a plane, right,like I mean, and you're a
non-smoker, I mean you're almostgagging, you're moving, yeah,
or you want to move, no, you'removing.
I know you, no me, yeah, Imight change flights.
Yeah, you're, you're definitely.
(03:06):
I mean, I, I can't stand it.
It's just, it's something aboutit.
Nausea as a little kid, when Iwas growing up, like my, my
parents were smokers, right, andyou know, when you're a little
kid you don't know anydifference.
But literally I rememberhanging my head outside of the
freaking car window as myparents smoked in the car.
You know it was that bad.
I mean, you gotta remember it'snot today's world.
So for all you youngsters outthere thinking, oh, terrible
(03:28):
parents, whatever, but everybodyand their mom was doing that
back then.
And guess what, there was noc-belts in our car either back
then.
That's how long ago was sittingin the back of a truck.
Yeah, I mean, it was just uh,just that, that rancid, nasty
smell.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
But but now they're switching over to vaping, and
that's horrible too, though Imean, that's as stinky, it's not
.
But you know something?
It's annoying as hell becausethey they think they can just do
it anywhere yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That's the one thing.
I like they just think they cango and do it anywhere and all
that stuff because it doesn'tstink.
Or some of them like smelldecent actually, like have fruit
smells and stuff like that, butit's like, yeah, you can't just
do all that stuff anywhere.
I mean, people that arenon-smoker are so hypersensitive
to that and people don't, andthey don't get that and there's
no offense to them, like astheir personality and as a
(04:14):
person on stuff, this is a habitor you know, a bad habit they
have that they need to kick.
Eventually they will, becausethe health is going to catch up
with them, right?
Yeah, you can't, you can'tcontinue.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
There's no betting on .

Speaker 1 (06:42):
If we're doing it between the two of us, it's our
money.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Acting like I don't know what the hell March Madness
brackets are.
I was sitting there thinkingyou were just gambling on it.
No, there's no gambling, I gotyou.
It's like asking me about thedamn Alamo again.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Literally people will be like, yeah, asking how'd you

In your own bracket there's alot of non-gambling.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah.
So everybody that was laughingat me at the beginning don't
freaking laugh, because I knewwhat the hell he was talking
about.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
No, he didn't.
No, he didn't.
Oh, hell, yes, I did, anyways.
So what's going on with you,man?
Nightmare, nightmare, yep, anightmare win what I'm getting
to that man?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Do you remember?
This past week I've been doingthe Tampa turns Right.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
That weather, oh man, the weather here has been
totally like freaking psychotic.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Okay, but I'm talking about down in Florida.
Oh yeah, that was a wholeweather front that was going
through.
It went across the whole nation, yeah, but it actually started
at the top of like Florida andthen you've seen this whole
thing and we had to go all theway to the East Coast, down the
coast, all the way across thestate of Florida, just to get
back into Tampa, just gettingdown there.
(07:53):
Yeah, but that system thatyou're talking about that was a
huge Went across the UnitedStates, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I mean, yeah, it went across the United States, but
that particular system was thatone that killed all those people
in tornadoes and stuff beforeit even got to Florida.
But when you got to Florida,how did it affect you?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
That's what I was saying, yeah, so anyway, we came
down the coast and we had tocome all the way across the
state of Florida, come back intoTampa.
We got there, we got in there.
It was crazy.
Turbulence was absolutely nuts.
There was another crew thatwent through.
Actually, they took like astraight shot through there and
they said the turbulence wasjust freaking crazy springtime
(08:30):
is the worst time to fly that is, but I mean everybody's like.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You know we do it because of our schedules and
stuff and spring break and allthat crap, but it's like it is
the one of the worst times tofly in volatile weather yeah,
tampa's like a couple-hourflight, but anyway it takes us
like almost four hours to getdown there.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
It's crazy.
We had to come down the coast,come back around hold, but
anyway, we got into Tampa.
So then we had to make adecision, because it's either we
board these people up and thissystem's coming in.
We know it's going to shut theairport down.
So we had a decision to make dowe board them up, go sit out in
the bullpen right and wait forthis storm to clear we'll be
(09:08):
number one for takeoff, we canget these people out right, we
have like three hours of playtime here or do we just sit them
in the terminal and know thething is going to cancel and we,
we know it's going to cancelbecause we, we're all going to
go illegal, because there's noway.
Once that tail end got there,there, the lightning and
everything you know howlightning is it shuts the whole
airport down.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, but you know that freaking passional rule of
rights and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Okay, we're getting to that.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You can't just like sit them out there forever?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
We're going to get to that.
So, anyway, we made thedecision that we're going to try
to get these people out.
We're going to try to come outthe back back in the storm.
So we boarded these people up.
We take them out there.
We told them that the re whatwe were doing and we were number
one for takeoff.
We sat out there and, um, andwe were waiting it out.
Well, it turned into a absoluteshit show because we were
(09:59):
sitting out there and we weredoing water, we do snacks, we
were doing uh, we have uh tarmac, uh supplies in case.
We were out there for a lengthof time.
So we were waiting out thereand the three-hour mark came.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You were sitting out there for three hours, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
So we had to taxi back in.
But when we started taxiingback in, the lightning was so
bad the whole ramp was shut down.
Then you got stuck out thereeven longer, got stuck out there
even longer.
Now they can't taxi, can't move.
The whole ramp was shut down.
Then you got stuck out thereeven longer, got stuck out there
even longer.
Now.
Now they can't taxi, can't move, the ramp can't do anything.
We're stuck out there.
Now there's a group of peoplethat was getting pissed.
Now this is what I'm trying totell you about your flight crew.
We were trying to make adecision to get you guys out on
(10:39):
your flight.
Now, if we would have taken offguess what, taken off, guess
what we're heroes, right,because we made the right call
and we got you out there.
But because we went illegal.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
now we're a zero.
Yeah, Mother nature, she's abitch.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Exactly.
So this woman starts yelling atme about it and I said you know
, next time you tell me, whatdecisions should we have made?
Should we just gone and sat ina terminal?
We could have sat in the planeat the terminal.
Knew we was going to go illegal, just waited it out.
We're going to go illegal, justwaited it out.
We're going to go illegal, walkoff that plane.
But we tried to get you out.
But in doing that, in doingthat, what did we?
We became that zero.
We became your problem, yourissue, everything that that that
(11:13):
happened out there now, andthat wasn't even explained to
him before you like, took pushoff very first thing that we did
was tell them that and weinformed them everything and we
were out there and I was outthere with constant water,
snacks, everything.
But it just proves.
It just proves that it doesn'tmatter what you do.
Now the rest of the passengersunfreaking, believable and when
I'm telling you, 99% of thosepeople, absolutely they
(11:37):
appreciated what we tried to do.
Okay, but we always say there'sthat 1%, there's that 1% and
this is what we talk about inthese incidents and all this
stuff that we talk about oncabin pressure.
Is that that 1% that alwayshave got to.
They have to needle you right,they have to sit there and make
you be the bad person.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, you know, here's the thing, like, yeah,
it's that one, like everybodycan be like oh yeah, we
understand, let's do this, yeah,let's do this, yeah, hurrah,
hurrah, hurrah, yeah.
And you go out there and yousit and then impatience happens,
yep, and people start gettingimpatient and then all it takes
is one of those people to like Imean literally that flight, I
(12:18):
kid you not probably there'sprobably somebody filed a report
against the airline, sayingthat you trapped them on the
airline.
Oh yeah, even though you guystried to like, accommodate them
and everything.
But you know that's the.
That's the whole like, give andtake and ebb and flow of this
industry.
Like you, just you.
You either get it, you don'tget it.
Most people do, right.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, it's a no win situation.
Sometimes you just got to makea decision.
You run with it.
See what happens.
Would I do it again?
Yeah, but that Tampa turn, Sean, that Tampa day was 10 hours A
10-hour.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, a 10-hour.
First of all, that trip is likemore like five, five hours,
yeah, yeah, I mean it's down andback.
Take them down there, drop themoff, load them up, come back.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Absolute flipping nightmare.
We had to stay the night andthen we had to come back the
next day and then you think thatwe were just deadheading home.
Nope.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Oh well, once that gets in the back, then company
to company, this gets kind ofcan you get squirrely because
they don't.
You don't know what they'regoing to be doing.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Well, they had us deadheading right and I was like
there's no way, one word right,activated, right, of course
they're going to do that.
So yeah, so anyway, that was it.
Tampa turned into an absoluteflipping nightmare.
But that happens.
You know, we're an industrythat deals with the weather and
sometimes the weather does notcooperate.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And all those rules and regulations are for, you
know, so that everybody doesn't,you know, push things and get
things into unsafe situationsbecause I mean.
I mean I don't know how manypeople on the on the plane knew
how long you guys been workingyou know, yeah, it was, it was,
it was a long time yeah, I mean.
So they're like.
You know anybody, you know,after an eight hour shift, they
want to go home, right, well, Imean, you guys are stuck on
there for 10 hours.
You know anybody, you know,after an eight-hour shift, they
(14:07):
want to go home, right, well, Imean, you guys are stuck on
there for 10 hours, you knowit's like, come on so.

That was one that I didn't.
It was like spring break andit's a young city, though but
(20:25):
it's big party, big countrymusic, all kinds of bars and
partying and fun, fun thingslike that.
You know like?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
yeah, but spring break in vegas I mean vegas yeah
.
Well, unless you're at thehotel anytime, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I mean anytime, anywhere, and you know, back in
our day vegas was fairlyinexpensive to go there.
Like the entertainment and thefood in vegas used to be the the
driving force to go to vegas, Imean we can go to and when we
were in vegas like a vegaslayover and laying over to, uh,
eat and stuff, there we go tobuffet.
It was costing us like 20 bucksand we go to a seafood buffet
(20:58):
and eat all the lobster we caneat.
You know, possibly, possiblyeat.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
You know, it was so much cheaper than it is today.
Today's world, it's likeeverything in Vegas just went
like a hundred times moreexpensive, right?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
But you know, if, if, if I was a college kid, I mean
Panama city, that'd be it.
Panama city, yeah, Because,because that I mean that's a
little part, I mean that's ahardcore party.
I mean, if you're going to gothere to have a party and have
fun, I mean that's a hardcoreparty.
But when you look at some ofthese destinations, like Key
West Key West is an adultplayground.
It is because they don't have alot of beach.
(21:32):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
But here you can get there by the car.
I know, you know, so that's youknow.
So Key West has a lot ofdifferent places to offer.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
There's tons of dive bars there man, I'm saying, as
far as spring break, collegekids, yeah, I mean because Key
West is big for snorkeling anddiving and everything Partying.
Yeah, I know that, but more foradults.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I think it's more for partying period.
I mean, I went to Key West, andyou know what?
Here's my thing in my.
I went to Key West and you knowwhat here, here's my thing in
my, my little analysis of KeyWest.
I'm not going back, causethat's not my type of vacation.
Right, like I explored thewhole place and checked out the
fort there, checked out thewhite house, checked out uh, um,
what's his name's house?
The writer's house, you awriter's house?
(22:17):
You know, I looked at all thatstuff, but it was, it was mainly
just, you know, the keys itselfis just a giant party.
Right, it didn't matter whereyou did key Largo, key West, key
, you know, you name it, it'sthis part big party.
But if you're into that, coolman, I mean do it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I'm still saying, though college kids, Panama city
, Panama city, that's your place.
All right, yeah, I think Panamacity, I mean you know it is if,
if I was going for thenightlife and the party for the
spring break, yeah, that'd be it, Because you, I mean you have
like Punta Cana, which is isreally cool, but it's more
resort style.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Well, let's, let's, let's I'm breaking this into a
and foreign, because here's thething when you transfer this
whole time and you say I'm goingto go international, there's a
whole new dynamic to thisExactly Right, I mean like and
this gets into the point of likewhat's happening right down in
Punta Cana.
It's like that dynamic of yes,I want to go have fun, but
(23:18):
there's this huge, huge dangerright now.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
as an American, International laws basically too
, though.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, I mean, it doesn't matter where you go.
There's certain places that areeven heightened Like to be an
American outside the borders ofthe United States.
It can be kind of dangerousright now.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Now, we were just talking about that.
I know you don't have a kid,but if you had a kid we're going
to go on to the internationalpart of this Would you let your
kid go there?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, internationally .
I would definitely be veryquestionable on the destination
they're going to go, becausethere's some that are much less
concerned than others, like meright now in Mexico, I don't
know.
No way in hell, sean.
Yeah, there's no.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, I mean, you know me, my three no way, not
one of them would be on a planegoing to an international
destination for spring break.
That's just trouble.
It's just trouble.
I mean you're out having fun.
Next thing you know it could bethe police, it could be cartel,
it could be just somebodylooking for trouble.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Well, here's the problem is that these American
kids go internationally rightand they are applying American
laws and rules to theirsurroundings, Like they think
that that is what is applied tothem and it's not.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
It's.
A false sense of security iswhat it is.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, you get to these foreign countries, they
got different rules.
You're not aware of the rulesbecause you're not educating
yourself before you go there.
And then you start doing somecrazy stuff that you might think
might be innocent here in theUnited States, whereas over
there it's a crime, you know.
And then, not to mention now,like you know, we got big old
targets on our back beingAmericans abroad, you know, like
(25:00):
you can't just, you know, justbe going out there like having
fun and stuff and not thinkingthat somebody's not looking at
you.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
You're, I don't care, you're always as of an American
, I think you're always a targetwhen you go to these
international destinations.
You got to be careful.
You do, you got to be careful.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You got to be careful .
It doesn't matter where you arein the world, it doesn't matter
if you're on spring breakeither.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
These college kids don't think about that at all.
And I mean here's a perfectexample too is that this girl,
this girl down there?
She lost her life.
And here's this other kid.
You know he's fighting for hislife because we don't know what
he did or what she did or whathappened, but we do know this
there's two families right nowthat are feeling this and they
(25:38):
made the decision of letting onelet their kid go and they lost
their kid.
One let their kid go andthey're fighting for their kid.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Right, it's a bad situation, because that kid that
they're fighting for right now,he got detained for like 12
days and they hadn't pressed onecharge.
They can't even do that in theUnited States.
If you're thinking, do that inthe United States, you know Like
.
If you're thinking you're inthe United States, you can't
just be held for no reason, youknow right.
I guarantee you, though, withthat one In these other
(26:07):
countries, they can do whateverthey want.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I bet you money.
There's a piece of paper that'ssigned that says if anything's
found out, he's extradited back.
Who knows I, I bet you.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I don't know Anyway, and I haven't looked into it.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Let's just say this though Internationally no way in
hell I would not let my kid go.
If I was letting him go tospring break, it would
definitely be domestic, domestic.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
There's no way I would let the international go
If you were going internationaland you didn't have these
concerns, and it was just you.
Where are some places?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
That I'd go yeah, cabo, cabo, you like cabo yeah,
I go to cabo, I go, um, I go.
I like cancun though.
Yeah, I do, I like cancun well,here's my.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I'm a cabo lover.
Now I've switched from cancunto cabo.
As far as my me, destinationslike it's like Cabo is a much
more um, there's a little bit ofeverything there for everybody.
You know like you can getwhatever you want.
So if you want hardcorepartying and craziness, you know
Cabo Wabo and go have fun.
(27:12):
Or you want to chill out andrelax on a beach and just chill
out at the resort hundreds ofresorts to do that, you know,
whereas, uh and uh and I thinkthere's just more to offer there
, period uh, opposed to cancun,you're kind of like really
isolated in this very narrowstrip, and you know they got you
kind of like isolated in thisthing, which is a good and a bad
thing, because being isolatedmeans there's a little bit more
(27:35):
control with security and allthat stuff.
But, um, yeah, cabo's, cabo's ajam.
The other thing, man, there'sall these different
international destinations thatkids are going to regardless.
So one that used to be like abig hot spot is jamaica.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Have you ever been in jamaica I have.
Yeah, I've never been injamaica, I don't want to go,
yeah, yeah I always hear it'slike one side island's good and
one side's bad yeah, we.
We went into the port on umwith a and, yeah, it's not a
place I'd want to go.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
And you were not impressed with it.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Nope, not at all.
I mean, I was ready to get backon the boat, just nothing I
wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, and then St Martin, st Martin's nice St
Martin, st Croix, all thoseplaces, bahamas I've been there
Anywhere in the Bahamas.
I would highly recommend peopleto go.
Yeah, the security there is alittle different.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That's why all the cruise lines stop there too,
though, because it's cool.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, I mean they're all attached in different
countries and affiliated withtheir own little country.
But it's like uh, nasa, dude,not a lot of spring breakers are
going to go to nasa becauseit's so damn expensive right
like it's super expensive there.
Have you been to nasa?
Yeah, yeah, I mean it is likewow, um, anyways, yeah,
(28:53):
punticana, I've never been there, that's someplace I've been,
like you know.
Yeah, I've been there either.
Yeah, and then, uh, porto rarta, I've never been there, that's
someplace.
I've never, like you know.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, I haven't been there either.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, and then Puerto Vallarta.
I've never been there either,but these are all destinations
that people are going to here onspring break, like right now.
If you're going abroad, the FBIhas put out a warning, and if
you, you know a lot of peopledon't like look at the news and
look at what's happening in theworld before they get to go.
(29:22):
They just plan these things sixmonths ago and then, hey, we're
going on vacation, right?
Not even a freaking care in theworld.
What happened?
What's getting ready to happen?
Right, anything, just just tohappen, you know, I mean,
anyways, they said listen, youneed to maintain your vigilance
throughout your travel and beprepared to contact the nearest
(29:44):
embassy.
How many times have you beenabroad and knew where the US
embassy is?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Flying I usually know like when I was going in I knew
where the embassy was.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, I mean, that's your only safe haven.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yeah, that's it.
You got to get there.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yeah, you got to get to a US embassy to be protected
under US laws in order toprotect yourself if you get in
any type of situation abroad.
I mean, I got to be honest withyou.
I go abroad a lot.
I don't always know where theUS embassy is.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
When I was flying international, I knew where it
was.
Yeah, on the destinationsyou're going to, yeah, yeah,
yeah, I made sure that,especially it's like the
Philippines when I used to flyout there.
You know exactly where thatdamn place was.
Yeah, I did, man, I'm tellingyou, I knew exactly.
Because they used to rememberthe Marcos, yeah, melda Marcos.
They used to demonstrate downthere and I got caught up in
(30:33):
some of that shit.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I mean I did?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
man?
I was running.
I was running from the big parkright across from the Manila
Hotel because they had a bigdemonstration and I was a US
citizen and they seen that I wasand a bunch of these people
started chasing me.
Oh wow, and as soon as I got tothe hotel they opened up the
doors and the guys with machineguns are out in the front of
that place and I ran insidethere.
Then you were safe.
(30:56):
But yeah, I know exactly whathappens in there.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
You got to be, you were safe, but yeah, I know
exactly what happens in there.
You gotta be really careful.
I only had one incident in mywhole life that was in that type
of same type of situation.
That was in italy.
I uh was out with buddies andstuff and we were stationed
abroad whatever with my familyand we walked into one of these
squares and at the time I meanthis is mid, this is early 80s.
Um, I walk in the screen.
There's this giant party goingon.
We, we, you, you know kids werejust like hey, let's check it
out, what's happening here.
You know some other festival orsomething like that.
(31:24):
We walk in and we get into themiddle of this square and it's a
huge communist rally.
I mean that place you want tobe.
Yeah, we like literally lookaround and all you start seeing
is nothing but hammers andsickles everywhere and red flags
, and we're like not the placeto be right now we need to get
the fuck out of here exactly itwas crazy.
(31:46):
So we like slowly slid out ofthere and by the time we got to
the edge of the square, you know, somebody realized, oh, these
guys are americans.
And then they started chasingus and, you know, we were young
and fresh and we got away.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
That's what I said.
You have a false sense ofsecurity as a US citizen man,
when you get out there in anyother country, be careful,
because it's completelydifferent.
Their laws are different andyou don't know their laws and
you could actually be in troublefor doing something that is
stupid, but it's against theirlaw.
So you want to be careful withthat.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
So the other thing that the FBI is warning for us
is to you one you should avoidactions, anything illegal,
improper.
Be discreet about your actionsand all that stuff when you're
abroad.
Also, in addition to that, youneed to avoid sexual
companionship.
Sounds crazy, right?
But you know these people aretrying to lure you in.
(32:39):
They can do room raids.
They do try to, but you knowthese people are trying to lure
you in.
They can do room raids.
They try to photograph you,blackmail you.
There's all these differenttypes of things that the FBI is
warning you about, and MexicoCity is probably the hot spot of
this thing.
We didn't mention that otherthing.
Like, as far as like no springbreakers you can probably go in
Very few in the world.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I don't see that with kids though I don't.
I mean I don't see that.
I mean I get it, but I don'tsee that.
I see that with some, someyounger guys, but you know,
here's the thing, the beauty ofwhat you just said is that you
don't see it Right, Right andyou need to have your highlight.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
You know, be alert.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I'd be more worried about the laws, though, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
They're saying US citizens should exercise caution
in downtown areas of popularspring break spots, and the
number ones they're talkingabout is Cancun, playa de Carmen
, tulum are the especially darkspots that are on.
That are hot spots right nowthat the FBI is warning about.
So just a shout-out toeverybody If you're listening,
just be careful out there if youare going abroad.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Spring break is fun, man, but you know something it
could cost you a lot.
I mean it could, it could costyou a lot.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah, one little quick decision.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Anyways.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Airlines man.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Airlines had some crap going this week.
Man, real quick, I had to tellyou about this guy.
He came on board, didn't knowabout it.
I was working the back of theplane.
So they come back and they tellthe guys.
The flight attendants up frontand they're like you would not
believe what this guy did.
So they came in first classGate agent came in first class
and said we should have a seatopen in first.
So she have a seat open himfirst.
(34:25):
So she starts going through andasking everybody for their
their boarding pass, verifyingeverybody, and this guy in uh 2e
gets up and walks straight tothe back of the aircraft he just
sat down.
He just sat down, sean.
Now, he not only sat down, buthe sat down and immediately
requested for a drink.
And then, and the flight saidwe're just doing mimosas and he
said I want two mimosas.
(34:46):
And so he took two mimosas andhe guzzled them down real quick.
Well, as soon as that gateagent started verifying, he gets
up, he picks up and he leaves.
He was in 35D, sean, 35d, comeon man.
Bullshit is that.
That's just bullshit.
I'm sorry, that's bullshit.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
As an experienced flight attendant, I'm going to
tell you right now anybody walksonto into first class on our
aircraft and they demand likethey want a drink right away to
me.
That's like bells and whistlesare going off, like who are you?
You're not acting like a normalfirst class passenger.
So I mean I'm not accommodatingpeople that are just first of
(35:25):
all demanding things like that.
I'm like questioning who isthis person the whole nine yards
.
Like I'm going to pick up andverify myself too if this guy is
supposed to be up there.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Would you let him go?
No, neither would I.
I mean, if I was up front, I'mlike you're not, because that's
theft, you just tried to stealfirst class.
Try to steal first class.
I mean you think you're gettingaway with it and you think it's
funny.
It's not funny.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
You just you're trying to steal something from
from our airline and that's.
That's a bunch of crap.
I mean, minimum I would do ismake them pay for those drinks,
right, I mean, he'd be had to.
You got to pay for those drinksand you, just, you just drink.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
You're on the next flight you know and if you got
any problems, be like you're onthe next flight anyway, because
you can sit down here and thinkabout doing something stupid.
Because if you just let him go,if you just let him go, he's
going to do it again.
This guy's going to do it againbecause as soon as he went back
there, he thought he was goingto get a drink from me and the
other flight attendant and wehad already talked about it and
(36:16):
he's like Gary he goes, I'm notgiving him a.
He already smells of alcohol.
So he went back and he told himas we took the cart back.
He said we're not serving youany alcohol, because he wanted
something to drink.
And I told him.
I said, yeah, your judgment wasimpaired.
Right, because it's just.
How did he react?
It's ridiculous.
He just sat there because heknew that he was wrong and
(36:38):
afterwards the one flightattendant said something to him.
He goes oh yeah, I just triedto get away with it.
That's bullshit, sean.
I mean it is.
I mean those guys.
When that happens, they shouldtake them off, put them on the
next plane.
That's fine, but you're goingto have to wait four or five
hours to get on that next damnflight because you think that's
so funny.
Now, this is real funny.
You're just going to sit hereand hope that to get on.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
That's the difference between you and I being in
charge, and we got a youngerflight attendant in charge, like
I don't put up with thatbullshit, but yeah, that's not
cool.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
So if you're a person that does this and even when I
went to the back, I was likewhat kind of person does that,
right?
I mean, I found a wallet on theplane just yesterday and it had
like $1,000 in it I made surethe guy got his wallet back
because it's karma, right, right, and it had like $1,000 in it.
I made sure the guy got hiswallet back because it's karma,
right, right, karma, I meankarma's a bitch.
I mean, if you don't do theright thing karma's a bitch.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
I mean it comes back and it will bite you.
Dude, you know we're there todo a job Like.
We're not there freaking tryingto capitalize off of.
You know people's mistakes andstuff and people leave shit on
the constantly.
You know, like you just got to,you just got to be do the right
thing, but this was theft man.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
I mean right now theft.
He tried to steal first class.
I mean, honestly, he shouldhave been in the terminal, put
on.
Okay, I'm going to put you onthe next flight.
Okay, I'm not going to denyyour availability to get home,
but I am going to sit there andI'm going to put you on the next
flight and you're going to waitfour or five hours to get there
.
And maybe you can think about,maybe, if you, if you ever do
(38:05):
this again, and then I'm goingto put in your record locator
that you did this and make surethat you know it for sure.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, I mean, people just got to realize, you know
like, you just can't be likeit's not certain areas of life,
or you can have fun, have fun,play games and stuff, but like
being on an aircraft and stuff,there's too many rules and
regulations and things to befollowing and and we definitely
aren't a bus, you know, we don't.
It's not like just sit downwherever you want to sit, right,
you know.
That's just not the, that's notthe company that we work for.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
So All right, how about this one?
All right, the flame, theplane's ready to go.
We're all packed up,everybody's there.
Okay, we're ready to close thedoor.
Nope, we got to wait.
Why, there's four people stuckin security.
What Four?
Okay, do you think it's rightthat you wait?
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Well, there's a lot of dynamics here in this, like
whether to wait or not.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Forget that.
Do you think it's right to wait, because you got every other
passenger that's on board thataircraft right now and you're
waiting for four people stuck insecurity?
Do you think that everybodyelse should wait for those four
people that decided not to showup to the airport late?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
so here's my answer.
Because you're not liking myanswer, because I'm no, I'm yeah
, exactly so listen to what Igot to say here.
This is it's a dynamics likethe airline has to make that
choice.
I mean, it's a business, right?
So we're here trying totranslate, transport people from
point a to point b.
I think it's rude,inconsiderate, ridiculous, like
(39:37):
to inconvenience all thesehundreds other people on the
plane.
That's total bullshit.
But in in also, there arepeople out there that bring a
lot of money to the airlines andit's a business.
So if that's this group,whatever is those people that
are bringing a lot of money andyou're delaying this um, that's
the airlines got to make thatchoice.
Is that the repercussions andthe the fallout for the um?
(40:01):
You know comments and stuffthey're going to have with all
the people that they'reinconveniencing?
That's what they got to dealwith.
They got to make that choice.
I personally am 100% with you.
Close the damn door.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
I think it's bullshit .
It's bullshit, right, I do.
I just think it's bullshit.
Everybody has an excuse of whythey're late for anything,
especially in our business.
They all have an excuse, andeverybody else is that you, you,
you make everybody else's day alittle bit longer because you
decided, hey, I don't have toshow up at this time, but that's
(40:33):
fine.
I mean I get it.
I mean you know if, if that'sthe case, I mean they hold, we
stay.
But I don't agree with it.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I'm with you.
100.
I do not agree that we shouldbe inconvenienced.
And all these people, I mean, Idon't care how much money you
bring to the plane, the companyor whatever go yeah, you should
be going.
But here's the thing we live inthis world that this happens all
the time and we see it everyday.
I know right and like and andlike it's inconvenience us as a
(41:02):
crew too, like we're just tryingto do our job and get there and
do everything on time, thewhole nine yards, what we're
trained to do, but at the sametime you know it's rude.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Yeah, it is.
It's rude.
All right, now this one realquick on this one.
So, flight attendant, I wasworking with her across the
aisle and all of a sudden shegot this bad look on her face
and I knew exactly what it was.
What do you think it was Bad?
Look on her face.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Yeah, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Like all of a sudden, your face just made a funny
look on it.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Well, I probably think that she's like not liking
what she's looking at.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
No dragon breath, man .
I mean, you know, it was like Iwas like what was going on.
She's like, oh my God, it wasso bad.
Whose so bad?
Who's the person that she wasasking what they wanted to drink
?
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Oh, oh, I get you.
Okay, now I'm following whatyou're talking about.
Yeah, the person that she justthe customer she just talked to
has dragon breath.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Yeah, she was like I couldn't help it.
She goes, my face just reacted.
It was so bad.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Dude, you know what I'm thinking about this.
I'm like thinking you know whatyou want to get rich.
You know they got all thesedevices out there.
You know, blow into this thing,lose weight.
Blow into this thing to figureout you're too drunk.
Why don't they got like adragon breath detector?
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Level level level level of how bad your breath
smells.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think the thing would justlike take off like something
that you could sell the publicwhere, hey, I got gonna check my
breath because it's called ayou stink pan, yeah something.
It's like like a you knowdragon monitor, you know like
it's literally.
That can happen with aco-worker, they can have it with
a passenger, they can have,like even I like if I had bad
(42:39):
breath and we all have badbreath, we're all human, right.
So if you, if I had it, man, Iwould.
I really want somebody to tellme, but everybody's not like
that, right.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
I you know the one thing I can say with me being in
this industry I'm veryconscious of my breath because,
you know, I always make surethat I always make sure that
either have gum or got some kindof breath freshener or whatever
it is Cause I'm conscious aboutit.
I mean, I really am.
But anyway, it was just funny.
I felt kind of bad for theperson because you know, and
(43:09):
you're right, everybody has badbreath every once in a while.
But when you're sitting acrossfrom somebody and you're looking
at them, that face, oh my God,it was so funny.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
It's bad.
I mean bad breath is bad.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
All right, let's go over a couple other things.
Lithium battery runaway fire onthat plane.
Did you see that?
No, all right.
So they had.
It was up in the overhead bin.
It started and you couldactually see it torch from the
overhead bin up and they'relucky that they got it in time.
And uh, and that crew reactedreally great.
They came on there with water,liquids, everything.
They were dousing it, soakingit and it was dripping down
through the cabin.
But uh, lithium batteryrunaways man, we talked about
that numerous times.
(43:45):
Folks make sure about thoseyeah, man, we.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
There's so many devices out there right now.
They could have that.
That can happen, but peoplejust don't think about that.
But um, back to your story here, because I'm not familiar with
it.
When did it happen?
Was this on the ground?
Was in the air?
Speaker 2 (43:58):
oh, yeah, he's in there, okay, gotcha.
Yeah, I mean that's, that'ssuper dangerous right there.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
Yeah, I mean it was bad.
I mean, yeah, it was in the air, okay, gotcha.
Yeah, I mean that's superdangerous right there.
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
It was bad, I mean, but the crew reacted really good
.
I mean, like I said, they werejust dousing it and, as we know,
we flooded with liquid, butyeah, they cooled it off and
they got it contained.
So props to them.
That was a good one.
How one?
How about the aircraft thatalmost took off on the on the
taxiway?
What?
Yeah, yeah, come on I believethat one yeah, that's crazy.
(44:29):
I've heard you've been clearfor takeoff I mean over our
career and stuff.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
I've heard of crazy stuff like I've heard of planes
landing on a taxiway, but takingoff on a taxiway, man, come on,
I mean there's no.
There's no lights like for evenday or night on a train.
There's lights for the runway,right.
I mean they're bright.
I mean, how do you mistake ataxiway to take off?
Speaker 2 (44:52):
They rebooked all the passengers.
Now, do you think there was adebrief in that one?
Speaker 1 (44:57):
Somebody might not be flying for a little while, just
a little bit.
Maybe a little extra trainingis coming your way.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
But yeah, taxiway takeoff not a good one.
And maybe an eye exam.
Now this next one, this nextone.
Okay, this person.
There's a special place in hellwaiting for her.
Who's that?
This woman was recently foundguilty, but the occurrence
happened in 2024.
She was accused of drowning herdog at the airport.
(45:25):
Oh my God, how messed up isthat?
You know how much I love dogs.
Why?
Why?
So she did not have the correctpaperwork and she didn't have
the funds to have the dog travelwith her.
So they rejected her.
So they had her on video andthey showed her going into the
bathroom, while she came outwithout the dog.
(45:45):
All right, so nobody reallythought anything about it, right
?
Because they'd just seen allthis water they were cleaning up
and no one was paying attention.
Right.
Well, when the airport cleaningpeople went in there, they were
cleaning all this water up andwhen they went to take the trash
out, they knew it was reallyheavy.
Well, they found this, this, um, this dog and it was a white
(46:07):
dog that was in the trash candead.
She had went in there and shehad drowned that damn dog.
And and in there and put in thetrash can and she, then she.
Just recently she was found.
She was found guilty of that.
But you know something specialplace in hell just waiting for
you when you do that to ananimal, come on, yep, I I can't
kill an animal animal because ofyour inconvenience yeah,
(46:27):
because, because you didn't wantto pay, or whatever it was yeah
, I mean that's bullshit.
I mean you know something youdid.
That that's just a bunch ofcrap.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Oh my gosh you know people that you just you just
kind of sometimes wonder, likewhat, what reasoning like drove
her to this, like this point?
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
There's no reason.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
Hey, did you hear about the update about the plane
that rolled over there?
Speaker 2 (46:52):
The, the the preliminary results.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
No, you're going to tell me about that.
Yeah, yeah.
So the preliminary resultsright now.
Just like we had said, we werelooking at the video, man, the
plane came down to hard descentand the, the, the wheels
collapse, you know?
Speaker 2 (47:06):
that's exactly what me and you were talking about
yeah that, just that justhappened today.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
I mean, like this is a fresh off the press here.
I mean it is, uh, it was a hard, hard landing and uh, that's
what resulted and luckilyeverybody got out of there alive
and all that stuff that didn'ttake minimal, it didn't take
long yeah, just a preliminaryresult, but I mean it for all of
us that are in the industry.
Looking at that, it doesn'ttake the brain science or you
(47:30):
know, all these people to likeanalyze this we.
We saw it ourselves, yeah, butum other things happening right
now too is uh, if you're goingon spring break now, you had
london heathrow shut down.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
I seen that?
Yeah, I Did you see that.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Yeah, I did Until midnight tonight, right, no, no,
no, no, no, not until midnight.
They burnt the power station.
There was a fire at the powerstation for the entire airport.
No way the airport won't beopened up.
They have no idea when it'sgoing to open up again.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Entire airport.
That is freaking crazy.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
International flights all over.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Could you imagine the amount of just the people and
money that's going to be lost?
Speaker 1 (48:06):
Yeah, they're like people you're talking about
diverting and all this stuff andinconveniencing.
All these people are going todifferent countries.
They're you know.
Hey, I'm getting ready to go toLondon Now I'm landing in
France.
You know like what?
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Yeah, you can't even go to Heathrow.
You're going to have toactually travel a train or
whatever.
It is Right.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
You're going to have to either schedule another
flight into Gatwick or you'regoing to have to be able to go
into another country and getthere by train or something like
that, or by boat.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
That is freaking crazy.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
This is going to go on for a while.
This is a breaking story thatjust happened, but I wanted to
get into fun facts now.
In 1914, the first commercialflight scheduled happened, and
it was on a plane that was madeout of wood how many passengers
I have.
No, I don't know the details ofthis, but I just know that
(48:56):
there's fun facts like they.
They were saying that the firstit was from st petersburg to
tampa bay uh, to tampa.
It was on one of those airboatplanes and, um, it was the first
scheduled flight ever, but itwas made.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
Imagine being in line sitting there.
Hey, you're the only customeron that plane yeah here.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
here's the crazy thing.
But like we're so modernizednow when people don't like
realize like all aircraft weremade out of wood.
In the beginning they didn'teven think about making aircraft
out of metal.
They started putting metalaround wood later on they still
had this structure.
Inside wasn't just metal, itwas wood and metal.
(49:38):
All this is just involved ineverything.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
I can't even imagine that first passenger's face
right as you're taking off going.
God, I hope this gets off theground.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
Yeah that, that, that's crazy man.
Anyways, um 1918, the standardtime acts was uh started
happening.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
I hate this shit.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Do you like?
Do you like the no-transcript,like they change it for the
(50:35):
farmers?
But I think there's more to itthan just the farmers, but I
hate it.
But uh, 1918 is when ithappened and then they did an
amendment to it, uh, in the 60s.
Uh, just because there's somestates that the line was wrong
and the because they hadestablished five different time
zones and stuff.
But other than that man, we'vebeen stuck with it ever since
and I'd love to get rid of thatcrap yeah, they should say
(50:56):
changed in 2025 change betweenlike right now, right right
change that shit.
Stop it absolutely anyhow.
All right, so let's talk aboutthe destination.
This week destination is keylargo, as we're talking about
key largo.
Key largo is, uh, superinteresting, something that just
happened, like last two days atkey largo.
(51:18):
And here's something thatimpacts people if you're driving
out to the key log.
Have you ever drove out to thekeys?
Oh yeah, yeah, one highway in,one highway out, and it is like
the um.
I got stuck on it once in fogand there was a major accident
shut us down.
We were like staying stilltraffic for almost five hours.
(51:39):
It was crazy, but that justhappened in key largo.
They had brush fires down thereand, uh, it shut down the
highway for a few hours as well,yeah, well, the fire and smoke
and it's not a lot of land there, yeah, so, uh, it was, it was
all.
It was shut down.
But anyway, key largo is a coolplace to go.
It is one.
It's known for uh being thedive capital of the world.
(52:01):
It's one of the um.
It's got one of the only well,it is got the only reef, uh,
coral barrier reef in the UnitedStates.
Did you know that?
I did yeah, and um in in indoing that.
You know we're always trying tolike build up that coral reef
and stuff.
And back in the day, um, in theuh mid 70s I believe it was um
(52:25):
the spiegel grove boat.
They scuttled it out there tomake bigger and more reef.
Have you're you're a diver?
Are you a diver?
no, okay so I mean, I've been on, uh, some boat dives because I
do dive into other stuff and uh,you know seeing scuttled boats
and stuff and it's amazing, likein the time span, like they
(52:46):
sink these boats just to makethe coral like grow and grow on
it.
And you know life, you knowunderwater life and stuff, it
gets all over them, all thestuff, but it's super fast.
It's unbelievable.
But I guess the last, a biggiant hurricane that hit the
keys, the boat was on its sideand now it flipped it upright.
So now in underwater the boatis sitting straight upright in
(53:08):
the water, um, but it's prettywild and it moved it.
I guess another like 500 feet orsome of that, really, yeah, so
pretty wild, even though it'slike staved down and it's all
growing.
All this core and everythingocean just came up, said moved
it crazy water power, water, thepower of water, but other
things that are uh awesome and Iknow you're into this.
It's fishing, yep, fishing, 125miles of fishing, uh, down down
(53:34):
in the keys, um, some of thebest fishing in the united
states is right there, um, andthen there's the eating man my
favorite part.
And then there's the eating man.
Speaker 2 (53:43):
My favorite part you got tons and tons with the
shrimp, the fish, the stone crab.
Speaker 1 (53:49):
Dude, yeah, all of it .
You go down to the Keys period.
You are eating seafood.
Don't go down.
I hate when people go downthere and eat a hamburger, are
you?
Kidding me.
There's so much good seafooddown there, and then they're
famous for key lime pie rightShoot they used to have years
ago when I first moved toFlorida.
Speaker 2 (54:08):
Man, they would have the shrimp boats down there.
You could go down there andjust get.
You could get your own shrimp,oh, hell yeah.
Speaker 1 (54:14):
Oh yeah, the shrimp down there, like everything, and
Key Largo is known for theirshrimp too, so their shrimp too.
So we didn't like nearly anylike specific place to eat there
and there's a lot of differentplaces to eat, but the food
types and the stuff that you doeat down there is the seafood
for sure, I agree.
All right, so give us a quote.

You know, this seems like thisproject.
This freaking flood in mybasement like is uh, it wasn't

forever.
It's like it just keeps goingon and on and on.
And you got these workerscoming in.
I got painters and stuff tocome in and, uh, you ever have
workers in your house whereyou're just like, um, they are
annoying you for some reason ifthat was just in case, I'd annoy
(01:28):
myself.
No, you know I'm the worker, Iknow you're a worker, I know
you're a worker, but you knowthere's something about.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
No, you know, when the house was built, yeah, yeah,
annoyed the shit out of me.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Yeah, I mean, there's people that work in your house
like there's, there's, there'sprobably people you hire.
Everybody hires somebodysometime in their life, whatever
.
But my number one pet peeve issmokers oh yeah, I know that
dude.
I can't stand smokers man.
I I had this little pig pendude.
He came in and nicest,friendliest guy, but he just
(01:59):
reeked.
I mean, everything about himwas like this repelling, like
like smoke.
He was like this little you can, you could see the like, a
little like waif around him.
It was, it was, it's, it'snauseating.
I just don't, I can't stand itand there's nothing like he as
he walked through the house,like after they went, I'm like
spraying Lysol and everything.
(02:19):
Lysol was challenging it, youknow, trying to get it, get rid
of it, it's as bad as body odor.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I mean it's bad.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, I don't know if smokers don't realize that.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
No, I don't think they do.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Yeah, that sense is just like that smell has just
been burnt out.
Yeah, right.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
But you're super sensitive to it.
I mean, anybody that doesn'tsmoke is super sensitive.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Yeah, it's kind of like that smoker that's sitting
next to you on a plane, right,like I mean, and you're a
non-smoker, I mean you're almostgagging, you're moving, yeah,
or you want to move, no, you'removing.
I know you, no me, yeah, Imight change flights.
Yeah, you're, you're definitely.
(03:06):
I mean, I, I can't stand it.
It's just, it's something aboutit.
Nausea as a little kid, when Iwas growing up, like my, my
parents were smokers, right, andyou know, when you're a little
kid you don't know anydifference.
But literally I rememberhanging my head outside of the
freaking car window as myparents smoked in the car.
You know it was that bad.
I mean, you gotta remember it'snot today's world.
So for all you youngsters outthere thinking, oh, terrible
(03:28):
parents, whatever, but everybodyand their mom was doing that
back then.
And guess what, there was noc-belts in our car either back
then.
That's how long ago was sittingin the back of a truck.
Yeah, I mean, it was just uh,just that, that rancid, nasty
smell.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
But but now they're switching over to vaping, and
that's horrible too, though Imean, that's as stinky, it's not
.
But you know something?
It's annoying as hell becausethey they think they can just do
it anywhere yeah, yeah, that's.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
That's the one thing.
I like they just think they cango and do it anywhere and all
that stuff because it doesn'tstink.
Or some of them like smelldecent actually, like have fruit
smells and stuff like that, butit's like, yeah, you can't just
do all that stuff anywhere.
I mean, people that arenon-smoker are so hypersensitive
to that and people don't, andthey don't get that and there's
no offense to them, like astheir personality and as a
(04:14):
person on stuff, this is a habitor you know, a bad habit they
have that they need to kick.
Eventually they will, becausethe health is going to catch up
with them, right?
Yeah, you can't, you can'tcontinue.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Very, very, very, very, very few people no, I
watched my mom I watched my momgo through it and I watched um,
you know, unfortunately, the thewhat happens from smoking and
it's horrible.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I mean it's absolutely horrible yeah, I mean
the deterioration of your body,your skin, the neck, molecular
breakdown and all that stuff.
Anyways, other other thingshappen.
Man is, uh, it's March madness,march madness, march madness.
Man, you know, my wife is likethe biggest freaking basketball
fan.
Oh, I know that.
And uh, yesterday she comeswalking down in, uh, down here
(04:57):
to my desk and she's like, she'slike, here's your bracket, fill
it out, you gotta, you got liketwo, two hours before it, you
know, opens, I'm like really andshe goes and don't cheat.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
So whose bracket were you in, was it?
I mean somebody like we knowdude you are.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
You are.
Every person out there justlaughed at you like beyond laugh
.
They're rolling over who'sbracket?
We all have your.
You don't have your personalbracket no much madness.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
There's a person that runs that no, no, no, no, no,
right, no, no.
People that play March.
There's people that are bettingyes, there's people out there
Vegas and all that stuff, butpeople just have their own
brackets just to be playingalong, type of thing.
It's like I'm following thistournament.
Let me fill out what I thinkwas prediction Innocent.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
No money.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
You know like so yeah no, it's not Whose bracket's
your own personal bracket.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I knew that.
Forget it.
You're missing what I'm saying,because when people do this for
March Madness, right, they getpeople together and they each
have their own brackets, right,yeah, they pick their bracket
and they bet on it.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
There's no betting on .
Always like you're, you're,you're the gambling part of it.
You're, you're, throwing thegambling part in it.
A lot of like millions ofpeople don't do any gambling
whatsoever, it's just your ownbracket.
Okay, I got it.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
It's just the follow.
Okay, I just thought you weregambling on it.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
No, it's just me against my wife right now.
And it's like who picks themost and who gets the most right
picks and all that stuff,because it goes on for a while.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I got you.
Okay, now I got it because it'sjust a friendly little bracket.
Alright, it was between you andher.
See now, I was sitting therethinking that you guys were
getting into some little thing,that each one of you were
betting your bracket on abracket, none of us win.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
If we're doing it between the two of us, it's our
money.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Acting like I don't know what the hell March Madness
brackets are.
I was sitting there thinkingyou were just gambling on it.
No, there's no gambling, I gotyou.
It's like asking me about thedamn Alamo again.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Literally people will be like, yeah, asking how'd you
do?
In your own bracket there's alot of non-gambling.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Yeah.
So everybody that was laughingat me at the beginning don't
freaking laugh, because I knewwhat the hell he was talking
about.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
No, he didn't.
No, he didn't.
Oh, hell, yes, I did, anyways.
So what's going on with you,man?
Nightmare, nightmare, yep, anightmare win what I'm getting
to that man?
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Do you remember?
This past week I've been doingthe Tampa turns Right.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
That weather, oh man, the weather here has been
totally like freaking psychotic.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Okay, but I'm talking about down in Florida.
Oh yeah, that was a wholeweather front that was going
through.
It went across the whole nation, yeah, but it actually started
at the top of like Florida andthen you've seen this whole
thing and we had to go all theway to the East Coast, down the
coast, all the way across thestate of Florida, just to get
back into Tampa, just gettingdown there.
(07:53):
Yeah, but that system thatyou're talking about that was a
huge Went across the UnitedStates, yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I mean, yeah, it went across the United States, but
that particular system was thatone that killed all those people
in tornadoes and stuff beforeit even got to Florida.
But when you got to Florida,how did it affect you?
Speaker 2 (08:08):
That's what I was saying, yeah, so anyway, we came
down the coast and we had tocome all the way across the
state of Florida, come back intoTampa.
We got there, we got in there.
It was crazy.
Turbulence was absolutely nuts.
There was another crew thatwent through.
Actually, they took like astraight shot through there and
they said the turbulence wasjust freaking crazy springtime
(08:30):
is the worst time to fly that is, but I mean everybody's like.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
You know we do it because of our schedules and
stuff and spring break and allthat crap, but it's like it is
the one of the worst times tofly in volatile weather yeah,
tampa's like a couple-hourflight, but anyway it takes us
like almost four hours to getdown there.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
It's crazy.
We had to come down the coast,come back around hold, but
anyway, we got into Tampa.
So then we had to make adecision, because it's either we
board these people up and thissystem's coming in.
We know it's going to shut theairport down.
So we had a decision to make dowe board them up, go sit out in
the bullpen right and wait forthis storm to clear we'll be
(09:08):
number one for takeoff, we canget these people out right, we
have like three hours of playtime here or do we just sit them
in the terminal and know thething is going to cancel and we,
we know it's going to cancelbecause we, we're all going to
go illegal, because there's noway.
Once that tail end got there,there, the lightning and
everything you know howlightning is it shuts the whole
airport down.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Yeah, but you know that freaking passional rule of
rights and all that stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Okay, we're getting to that.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
You can't just like sit them out there forever?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
We're going to get to that.
So, anyway, we made thedecision that we're going to try
to get these people out.
We're going to try to come outthe back back in the storm.
So we boarded these people up.
We take them out there.
We told them that the re whatwe were doing and we were number
one for takeoff.
We sat out there and, um, andwe were waiting it out.
Well, it turned into a absoluteshit show because we were
(09:59):
sitting out there and we weredoing water, we do snacks, we
were doing uh, we have uh tarmac, uh supplies in case.
We were out there for a lengthof time.
So we were waiting out thereand the three-hour mark came.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
You were sitting out there for three hours, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
So we had to taxi back in.
But when we started taxiingback in, the lightning was so
bad the whole ramp was shut down.
Then you got stuck out thereeven longer, got stuck out there
even longer.
Now they can't taxi, can't move.
The whole ramp was shut down.
Then you got stuck out thereeven longer, got stuck out there
even longer.
Now.
Now they can't taxi, can't move, the ramp can't do anything.
We're stuck out there.
Now there's a group of peoplethat was getting pissed.
Now this is what I'm trying totell you about your flight crew.
We were trying to make adecision to get you guys out on
(10:39):
your flight.
Now, if we would have taken offguess what, taken off, guess
what we're heroes, right,because we made the right call
and we got you out there.
But because we went illegal.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
now we're a zero.
Yeah, Mother nature, she's abitch.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Exactly.
So this woman starts yelling atme about it and I said you know
, next time you tell me, whatdecisions should we have made?
Should we just gone and sat ina terminal?
We could have sat in the planeat the terminal.
Knew we was going to go illegal, just waited it out.
We're going to go illegal, justwaited it out.
We're going to go illegal, walkoff that plane.
But we tried to get you out.
But in doing that, in doingthat, what did we?
We became that zero.
We became your problem, yourissue, everything that that that
(11:13):
happened out there now, andthat wasn't even explained to
him before you like, took pushoff very first thing that we did
was tell them that and weinformed them everything and we
were out there and I was outthere with constant water,
snacks, everything.
But it just proves.
It just proves that it doesn'tmatter what you do.
Now the rest of the passengersunfreaking, believable and when
I'm telling you, 99% of thosepeople, absolutely they
(11:37):
appreciated what we tried to do.
Okay, but we always say there'sthat 1%, there's that 1% and
this is what we talk about inthese incidents and all this
stuff that we talk about oncabin pressure.
Is that that 1% that alwayshave got to.
They have to needle you right,they have to sit there and make
you be the bad person.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, you know, here's the thing, like, yeah,
it's that one, like everybodycan be like oh yeah, we
understand, let's do this, yeah,let's do this, yeah, hurrah,
hurrah, hurrah, yeah.
And you go out there and yousit and then impatience happens,
yep, and people start gettingimpatient and then all it takes
is one of those people to like Imean literally that flight, I
(12:18):
kid you not probably there'sprobably somebody filed a report
against the airline, sayingthat you trapped them on the
airline.
Oh yeah, even though you guystried to like, accommodate them
and everything.
But you know that's the.
That's the whole like, give andtake and ebb and flow of this
industry.
Like you, just you.
You either get it, you don'tget it.
Most people do, right.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Yeah, it's a no win situation.
Sometimes you just got to makea decision.
You run with it.
See what happens.
Would I do it again?
Yeah, but that Tampa turn, Sean, that Tampa day was 10 hours A
10-hour.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, a 10-hour.
First of all, that trip is likemore like five, five hours,
yeah, yeah, I mean it's down andback.
Take them down there, drop themoff, load them up, come back.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Absolute flipping nightmare.
We had to stay the night andthen we had to come back the
next day and then you think thatwe were just deadheading home.
Nope.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Oh well, once that gets in the back, then company
to company, this gets kind ofcan you get squirrely because
they don't.
You don't know what they'regoing to be doing.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Well, they had us deadheading right and I was like
there's no way, one word right,activated, right, of course
they're going to do that.
So yeah, so anyway, that was it.
Tampa turned into an absoluteflipping nightmare.
But that happens.
You know, we're an industrythat deals with the weather and
sometimes the weather does notcooperate.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
And all those rules and regulations are for, you
know, so that everybody doesn't,you know, push things and get
things into unsafe situationsbecause I mean.
I mean I don't know how manypeople on the on the plane knew
how long you guys been workingyou know, yeah, it was, it was,
it was a long time yeah, I mean.
So they're like.
You know anybody, you know,after an eight hour shift, they
want to go home, right, well, Imean, you guys are stuck on
there for 10 hours.
You know anybody, you know,after an eight-hour shift, they
(14:07):
want to go home, right, well, Imean, you guys are stuck on
there for 10 hours, you knowit's like, come on so.
A lot of fun, a littleinteresting.
I get that man Been there donethat in our career how many
times right?
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yep, hey, listen, though you know the whole thing.
Now, though, is spring break,the travel full effect right now
, man spring break.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, the wife was just so.
She went to work this morningand she's been like cheating in
the parking in front of thebecause of you.
She's been parking in thefreaking garage in front of the
airport, which is very, veryexpensive, she's not smart,
she's very expensive.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
She's smart, she's not smart, she's very expensive.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
She's smart, and so, anyways, she gets into the
garage and she's thinking oh,you know what?
The garage is pretty empty man,it's going to be not busy.
She walked into the terminal.
She's like you know, theairline security lines were
crisscrossed from end to endfrom the airport.
It's been crazy.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Sean yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
And she's like where is everybody parking?
But it's been crazy.
Yeah.
She's like where is everybodyparking?
But it's spring breakers, yeah,so they're all cheap and trying
to do that cheap vacation, sothey're off.
You know property parking likesmart people right, not at the
airport anyways.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
So I still agree with her man.
I told her all the time I waslike you need to park right here
, yeah right yeah, yeah, that'sa bill that doesn't need to be,
I mean, every day.

There's always that one, Iguarantee you're going to get

You're gonna get one of those.
You're always getting somethinglike that.
People are just acting fools.
But uh, you know spring breakright now.
There's a lot to talk about inspring break.
People always like did you goon spring break when you're in
college?
Speaker 2 (16:32):

and do spring break I did and like what were some of
your destinations daytona beachback then, okay, okay.
So you were in college in theMidwest, right yeah, and then
you went down to Florida.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Drove.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, so cool, yeah, driving.
There's tons of college kidsdoing that right now, driving,
and families and stuff, becausewe all don't have the means to
fly, right.
But hey, cool, you do what youcan do, but everybody's doing
that vacation time right now.
I personally never, ever in mylife, did a spring break trip,
(17:08):
really Never, never.
I just didn't have the means todo it, man.
And when I had that time off itwas like more of just a break
to relax.
It's always been that break torelax and chill out and kind of
catch up with yourself, you know, from school or work or
whatever it is.
But never got to do that.
But for all these people thatare doing, the millions of
people that are doing it, I meanthere's so many places to go
right, there's tons, especiallynow, man, there's even more than
(17:28):
ever.
Yeah, and you were talking aboutlike, um, all this stuff that's
happening in the news, likebecause the news is so freaking,
you know, highlighted with allthis bullshit that's happening
and stuff, and that thing thatjust happened down in punta,
cana, with that girldisappearing.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
you know I'm talking about yeah, that's, that's
horrible.
I mean, that's, that story isunbelievable.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
If you listen, that story is unbelievable so this
event that we just went to uh gand I went to this weekend, uh,
the lady that runs thefoundation, her older, her son,
oldest son, that old son, one ofher sons, he was just at that
resort the week before.
Really he was there.
He was like everything was fine, everything's good, you know,
and really to to to that wholesituation like unfortunate, who
(18:15):
knows what happened.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
It sounded like the girl drowned and you know, drift
off in the sea and whatever,but it's like there was a lot
more to it, man, when you, whenyou heard that that kid's story
it's changed like three or fourtimes but I'm not trying to make
anybody guilty or anything, buthere here, here's the
interesting thing about it isthat we're going to get into
this a little bit, a little bitmore heavier.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
But, um, you know, when you're going international
there, you know there'sdifferent laws and stuff.
We're going to talk about thatstuff here.
But back to what we're ourspring break thing here the.
There's so many places here inthe united states to go right
tons, I absolutely tons of them.
Yeah, yep, and so like, uh like, we're going to name off.
(18:56):
Here's a list.
These are kind of like topspring break retreats.
Locations yeah, yeah, yeah,panama City, that's a big one,
myrtle Beach, new Orleans, likeI mean, there's a lot of people.
A lot of people think like aspring break.
They always think of like oh,we're going to a beach and stuff
.
Cheap-ass one is South Padre,south Padre, south padre, south
(19:19):
padre.
Yeah, I've been down to south Iknow, but never on spring break
.
But I, and when I got there Iwas like why?
it's like a budget yeah, it'sjust like uh beach, a budget
beach yeah, it is it's budgetbeach, yeah, so out padre yeah,
great shrimp down there, though,but um, anyhow, uh, the, uh,
nashville, nashville.
Man, that's like uh, what is it?
(19:40):
The wedding destination?
All the different bachelorparties, bachelorette parties.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
And anyways, west Coast, honolulu, love Honolulu.
Yeah, a lot of people go toHawaii for spring break.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Depends on how much money All these destinations,
man, it's funny because you haveto look at its cost, right,
Because a lot of them bigdifference in price.
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
In the beginning that was what I was saying.
I didn't have the means to dothis ever on a spring break.
That was not an experience thatI got to enjoy in college.
But there's all these differentplaces Fort Lauderdale, Orlando
, Austin, Austin, texas.
That was one that I didn't.
It was like spring break andit's a young city, though but
(20:25):
it's big party, big countrymusic, all kinds of bars and
partying and fun, fun thingslike that.
You know like?
Speaker 2 (20:31):
yeah, but spring break in vegas I mean vegas yeah
.
Well, unless you're at thehotel anytime, yeah exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I mean anytime, anywhere, and you know, back in
our day vegas was fairlyinexpensive to go there.
Like the entertainment and thefood in vegas used to be the the
driving force to go to vegas, Imean we can go to and when we
were in vegas like a vegaslayover and laying over to, uh,
eat and stuff, there we go tobuffet.
It was costing us like 20 bucksand we go to a seafood buffet
(20:58):
and eat all the lobster we caneat.
You know, possibly, possiblyeat.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
You know, it was so much cheaper than it is today.
Today's world, it's likeeverything in Vegas just went
like a hundred times moreexpensive, right?
Speaker 2 (21:11):
But you know, if, if, if I was a college kid, I mean
Panama city, that'd be it.
Panama city, yeah, Because,because that I mean that's a
little part, I mean that's ahardcore party.
I mean, if you're going to gothere to have a party and have
fun, I mean that's a hardcoreparty.
But when you look at some ofthese destinations, like Key
West Key West is an adultplayground.
It is because they don't have alot of beach.
(21:32):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
But here you can get there by the car.
I know, you know, so that's youknow.
So Key West has a lot ofdifferent places to offer.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
There's tons of dive bars there man, I'm saying, as
far as spring break, collegekids, yeah, I mean because Key
West is big for snorkeling anddiving and everything Partying.
Yeah, I know that, but more foradults.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I think it's more for partying period.
I mean, I went to Key West, andyou know what?
Here's my thing in my.
I went to Key West and you knowwhat here, here's my thing in
my, my little analysis of KeyWest.
I'm not going back, causethat's not my type of vacation.
Right, like I explored thewhole place and checked out the
fort there, checked out thewhite house, checked out uh, um,
what's his name's house?
The writer's house, you awriter's house?
(22:17):
You know, I looked at all thatstuff, but it was, it was mainly
just, you know, the keys itselfis just a giant party.
Right, it didn't matter whereyou did key Largo, key West, key
, you know, you name it, it'sthis part big party.
But if you're into that, coolman, I mean do it.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I'm still saying, though college kids, Panama city
, Panama city, that's your place.
All right, yeah, I think Panamacity, I mean you know it is if,
if I was going for thenightlife and the party for the
spring break, yeah, that'd be it, Because you, I mean you have
like Punta Cana, which is isreally cool, but it's more
resort style.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Well, let's, let's, let's I'm breaking this into a
and foreign, because here's thething when you transfer this
whole time and you say I'm goingto go international, there's a
whole new dynamic to thisExactly Right, I mean like and
this gets into the point of likewhat's happening right down in
Punta Cana.
It's like that dynamic of yes,I want to go have fun, but
(23:18):
there's this huge, huge dangerright now.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
as an American, International laws basically too
, though.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Yeah, I mean, it doesn't matter where you go.
There's certain places that areeven heightened Like to be an
American outside the borders ofthe United States.
It can be kind of dangerousright now.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Now, we were just talking about that.
I know you don't have a kid,but if you had a kid we're going
to go on to the internationalpart of this Would you let your
kid go there?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yeah, internationally .
I would definitely be veryquestionable on the destination
they're going to go, becausethere's some that are much less
concerned than others, like meright now in Mexico, I don't
know.
No way in hell, sean.
Yeah, there's no.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, I mean, you know me, my three no way, not
one of them would be on a planegoing to an international
destination for spring break.
That's just trouble.
It's just trouble.
I mean you're out having fun.
Next thing you know it could bethe police, it could be cartel,
it could be just somebodylooking for trouble.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Well, here's the problem is that these American
kids go internationally rightand they are applying American
laws and rules to theirsurroundings, Like they think
that that is what is applied tothem and it's not.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
It's.
A false sense of security iswhat it is.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, you get to these foreign countries, they
got different rules.
You're not aware of the rulesbecause you're not educating
yourself before you go there.
And then you start doing somecrazy stuff that you might think
might be innocent here in theUnited States, whereas over
there it's a crime, you know.
And then, not to mention now,like you know, we got big old
targets on our back beingAmericans abroad, you know, like
(25:00):
you can't just, you know, justbe going out there like having
fun and stuff and not thinkingthat somebody's not looking at
you.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
You're, I don't care, you're always as of an American
, I think you're always a targetwhen you go to these
international destinations.
You got to be careful.
You do, you got to be careful.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You got to be careful .
It doesn't matter where you arein the world, it doesn't matter
if you're on spring breakeither.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
These college kids don't think about that at all.
And I mean here's a perfectexample too is that this girl,
this girl down there?
She lost her life.
And here's this other kid.
You know he's fighting for hislife because we don't know what
he did or what she did or whathappened, but we do know this
there's two families right nowthat are feeling this and they
(25:38):
made the decision of letting onelet their kid go and they lost
their kid.
One let their kid go andthey're fighting for their kid.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Right, it's a bad situation, because that kid that
they're fighting for right now,he got detained for like 12
days and they hadn't pressed onecharge.
They can't even do that in theUnited States.
If you're thinking, do that inthe United States, you know Like
.
If you're thinking you're inthe United States, you can't
just be held for no reason, youknow right.
I guarantee you, though, withthat one In these other
(26:07):
countries, they can do whateverthey want.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
I bet you money.
There's a piece of paper that'ssigned that says if anything's
found out, he's extradited back.
Who knows I, I bet you.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
I don't know Anyway, and I haven't looked into it.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Let's just say this though Internationally no way in
hell I would not let my kid go.
If I was letting him go tospring break, it would
definitely be domestic, domestic.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
There's no way I would let the international go
If you were going internationaland you didn't have these
concerns, and it was just you.
Where are some places?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
That I'd go yeah, cabo, cabo, you like cabo yeah,
I go to cabo, I go, um, I go.
I like cancun though.
Yeah, I do, I like cancun well,here's my.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
I'm a cabo lover.
Now I've switched from cancunto cabo.
As far as my me, destinationslike it's like Cabo is a much
more um, there's a little bit ofeverything there for everybody.
You know like you can getwhatever you want.
So if you want hardcorepartying and craziness, you know
Cabo Wabo and go have fun.
(27:12):
Or you want to chill out andrelax on a beach and just chill
out at the resort hundreds ofresorts to do that, you know,
whereas, uh and uh and I thinkthere's just more to offer there
, period uh, opposed to cancun,you're kind of like really
isolated in this very narrowstrip, and you know they got you
kind of like isolated in thisthing, which is a good and a bad
thing, because being isolatedmeans there's a little bit more
(27:35):
control with security and allthat stuff.
But, um, yeah, cabo's, cabo's ajam.
The other thing, man, there'sall these different
international destinations thatkids are going to regardless.
So one that used to be like abig hot spot is jamaica.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Have you ever been in jamaica I have.
Yeah, I've never been injamaica, I don't want to go,
yeah, yeah I always hear it'slike one side island's good and
one side's bad yeah, we.
We went into the port on umwith a and, yeah, it's not a
place I'd want to go.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
And you were not impressed with it.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Nope, not at all.
I mean, I was ready to get backon the boat, just nothing I
wanted to do.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Yeah, and then St Martin, st Martin's nice St
Martin, st Croix, all thoseplaces, bahamas I've been there
Anywhere in the Bahamas.
I would highly recommend peopleto go.
Yeah, the security there is alittle different.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
That's why all the cruise lines stop there too,
though, because it's cool.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, I mean they're all attached in different
countries and affiliated withtheir own little country.
But it's like uh, nasa, dude,not a lot of spring breakers are
going to go to nasa becauseit's so damn expensive right
like it's super expensive there.
Have you been to nasa?
Yeah, yeah, I mean it is likewow, um, anyways, yeah,
(28:53):
punticana, I've never been there, that's someplace I've been,
like you know.
Yeah, I've been there either.
Yeah, and then, uh, porto rarta, I've never been there, that's
someplace.
I've never, like you know.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, I haven't been there either.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Yeah, and then Puerto Vallarta.
I've never been there either,but these are all destinations
that people are going to here onspring break, like right now.
If you're going abroad, the FBIhas put out a warning, and if
you, you know a lot of peopledon't like look at the news and
look at what's happening in theworld before they get to go.
(29:22):
They just plan these things sixmonths ago and then, hey, we're
going on vacation, right?
Not even a freaking care in theworld.
What happened?
What's getting ready to happen?
Right, anything, just just tohappen, you know, I mean,
anyways, they said listen, youneed to maintain your vigilance
throughout your travel and beprepared to contact the nearest
(29:44):
embassy.
How many times have you beenabroad and knew where the US
embassy is?
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Flying I usually know like when I was going in I knew
where the embassy was.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Yeah, I mean, that's your only safe haven.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Yeah, that's it.
You got to get there.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Yeah, you got to get to a US embassy to be protected
under US laws in order toprotect yourself if you get in
any type of situation abroad.
I mean, I got to be honest withyou.
I go abroad a lot.
I don't always know where theUS embassy is.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
When I was flying international, I knew where it
was.
Yeah, on the destinationsyou're going to, yeah, yeah,
yeah, I made sure that,especially it's like the
Philippines when I used to flyout there.
You know exactly where thatdamn place was.
Yeah, I did, man, I'm tellingyou, I knew exactly.
Because they used to rememberthe Marcos, yeah, melda Marcos.
They used to demonstrate downthere and I got caught up in
(30:33):
some of that shit.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
I mean I did?
Speaker 2 (30:35):
man?
I was running.
I was running from the big parkright across from the Manila
Hotel because they had a bigdemonstration and I was a US
citizen and they seen that I wasand a bunch of these people
started chasing me.
Oh wow, and as soon as I got tothe hotel they opened up the
doors and the guys with machineguns are out in the front of
that place and I ran insidethere.
Then you were safe.
(30:56):
But yeah, I know exactly whathappens in there.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
You got to be, you were safe, but yeah, I know
exactly what happens in there.
You gotta be really careful.
I only had one incident in mywhole life that was in that type
of same type of situation.
That was in italy.
I uh was out with buddies andstuff and we were stationed
abroad whatever with my familyand we walked into one of these
squares and at the time I meanthis is mid, this is early 80s.
Um, I walk in the screen.
There's this giant party goingon.
We, we, you, you know kids werejust like hey, let's check it
out, what's happening here.
You know some other festival orsomething like that.
(31:24):
We walk in and we get into themiddle of this square and it's a
huge communist rally.
I mean that place you want tobe.
Yeah, we like literally lookaround and all you start seeing
is nothing but hammers andsickles everywhere and red flags
, and we're like not the placeto be right now we need to get
the fuck out of here exactly itwas crazy.
(31:46):
So we like slowly slid out ofthere and by the time we got to
the edge of the square, you know, somebody realized, oh, these
guys are americans.
And then they started chasingus and, you know, we were young
and fresh and we got away.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
That's what I said.
You have a false sense ofsecurity as a US citizen man,
when you get out there in anyother country, be careful,
because it's completelydifferent.
Their laws are different andyou don't know their laws and
you could actually be in troublefor doing something that is
stupid, but it's against theirlaw.
So you want to be careful withthat.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
So the other thing that the FBI is warning for us
is to you one you should avoidactions, anything illegal,
improper.
Be discreet about your actionsand all that stuff when you're
abroad.
Also, in addition to that, youneed to avoid sexual
companionship.
Sounds crazy, right?
But you know these people aretrying to lure you in.
(32:39):
They can do room raids.
They do try to, but you knowthese people are trying to lure
you in.
They can do room raids.
They try to photograph you,blackmail you.
There's all these differenttypes of things that the FBI is
warning you about, and MexicoCity is probably the hot spot of
this thing.
We didn't mention that otherthing.
Like, as far as like no springbreakers you can probably go in
Very few in the world.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
I don't see that with kids though I don't.
I mean I don't see that.
I mean I get it, but I don'tsee that.
I see that with some, someyounger guys, but you know,
here's the thing, the beauty ofwhat you just said is that you
don't see it Right, Right andyou need to have your highlight.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
You know, be alert.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
I'd be more worried about the laws, though, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
They're saying US citizens should exercise caution
in downtown areas of popularspring break spots, and the
number ones they're talkingabout is Cancun, playa de Carmen
, tulum are the especially darkspots that are on.
That are hot spots right nowthat the FBI is warning about.
So just a shout-out toeverybody If you're listening,
just be careful out there if youare going abroad.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Spring break is fun, man, but you know something it
could cost you a lot.
I mean it could, it could costyou a lot.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
Yeah, one little quick decision.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Anyways.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Airlines man.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Airlines had some crap going this week.
Man, real quick, I had to tellyou about this guy.
He came on board, didn't knowabout it.
I was working the back of theplane.
So they come back and they tellthe guys.
The flight attendants up frontand they're like you would not
believe what this guy did.
So they came in first classGate agent came in first class
and said we should have a seatopen in first.
So she have a seat open himfirst.
(34:25):
So she starts going through andasking everybody for their
their boarding pass, verifyingeverybody, and this guy in uh 2e
gets up and walks straight tothe back of the aircraft he just
sat down.
He just sat down, sean.
Now, he not only sat down, buthe sat down and immediately
requested for a drink.
And then, and the flight saidwe're just doing mimosas and he
said I want two mimosas.
(34:46):
And so he took two mimosas andhe guzzled them down real quick.
Well, as soon as that gateagent started verifying, he gets
up, he picks up and he leaves.
He was in 35D, sean, 35d, comeon man.
Bullshit is that.
That's just bullshit.
I'm sorry, that's bullshit.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
As an experienced flight attendant, I'm going to
tell you right now anybody walksonto into first class on our
aircraft and they demand likethey want a drink right away to
me.
That's like bells and whistlesare going off, like who are you?
You're not acting like a normalfirst class passenger.
So I mean I'm not accommodatingpeople that are just first of
(35:25):
all demanding things like that.
I'm like questioning who isthis person the whole nine yards
.
Like I'm going to pick up andverify myself too if this guy is
supposed to be up there.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
Would you let him go?
No, neither would I.
I mean, if I was up front, I'mlike you're not, because that's
theft, you just tried to stealfirst class.
Try to steal first class.
I mean you think you're gettingaway with it and you think it's
funny.
It's not funny.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
You just you're trying to steal something from
from our airline and that's.
That's a bunch of crap.
I mean, minimum I would do ismake them pay for those drinks,
right, I mean, he'd be had to.
You got to pay for those drinksand you, just, you just drink.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
You're on the next flight you know and if you got
any problems, be like you're onthe next flight anyway, because
you can sit down here and thinkabout doing something stupid.
Because if you just let him go,if you just let him go, he's
going to do it again.
This guy's going to do it againbecause as soon as he went back
there, he thought he was goingto get a drink from me and the
other flight attendant and wehad already talked about it and
(36:16):
he's like Gary he goes, I'm notgiving him a.
He already smells of alcohol.
So he went back and he told himas we took the cart back.
He said we're not serving youany alcohol, because he wanted
something to drink.
And I told him.
I said, yeah, your judgment wasimpaired.
Right, because it's just.
How did he react?
It's ridiculous.
He just sat there because heknew that he was wrong and
(36:38):
afterwards the one flightattendant said something to him.
He goes oh yeah, I just triedto get away with it.
That's bullshit, sean.
I mean it is.
I mean those guys.
When that happens, they shouldtake them off, put them on the
next plane.
That's fine, but you're goingto have to wait four or five
hours to get on that next damnflight because you think that's
so funny.
Now, this is real funny.
You're just going to sit hereand hope that to get on.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
That's the difference between you and I being in
charge, and we got a youngerflight attendant in charge, like
I don't put up with thatbullshit, but yeah, that's not
cool.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
So if you're a person that does this and even when I
went to the back, I was likewhat kind of person does that,
right?
I mean, I found a wallet on theplane just yesterday and it had
like $1,000 in it I made surethe guy got his wallet back
because it's karma, right, right, and it had like $1,000 in it.
I made sure the guy got hiswallet back because it's karma,
right, right, karma, I meankarma's a bitch.
I mean, if you don't do theright thing karma's a bitch.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
I mean it comes back and it will bite you.
Dude, you know we're there todo a job Like.
We're not there freaking tryingto capitalize off of.
You know people's mistakes andstuff and people leave shit on
the constantly.
You know, like you just got to,you just got to be do the right
thing, but this was theft man.
Speaker 2 (37:44):
I mean right now theft.
He tried to steal first class.
I mean, honestly, he shouldhave been in the terminal, put
on.
Okay, I'm going to put you onthe next flight.
Okay, I'm not going to denyyour availability to get home,
but I am going to sit there andI'm going to put you on the next
flight and you're going to waitfour or five hours to get there
.
And maybe you can think about,maybe, if you, if you ever do
(38:05):
this again, and then I'm goingto put in your record locator
that you did this and make surethat you know it for sure.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Yeah, I mean, people just got to realize, you know
like, you just can't be likeit's not certain areas of life,
or you can have fun, have fun,play games and stuff, but like
being on an aircraft and stuff,there's too many rules and
regulations and things to befollowing and and we definitely
aren't a bus, you know, we don't.
It's not like just sit downwherever you want to sit, right,
you know.
That's just not the, that's notthe company that we work for.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
So All right, how about this one?
All right, the flame, theplane's ready to go.
We're all packed up,everybody's there.
Okay, we're ready to close thedoor.
Nope, we got to wait.
Why, there's four people stuckin security.
What Four?
Okay, do you think it's rightthat you wait?
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Well, there's a lot of dynamics here in this, like
whether to wait or not.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Forget that.
Do you think it's right to wait, because you got every other
passenger that's on board thataircraft right now and you're
waiting for four people stuck insecurity?
Do you think that everybodyelse should wait for those four
people that decided not to showup to the airport late?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
so here's my answer.
Because you're not liking myanswer, because I'm no, I'm yeah
, exactly so listen to what Igot to say here.
This is it's a dynamics likethe airline has to make that
choice.
I mean, it's a business, right?
So we're here trying totranslate, transport people from
point a to point b.
I think it's rude,inconsiderate, ridiculous, like
(39:37):
to inconvenience all thesehundreds other people on the
plane.
That's total bullshit.
But in in also, there arepeople out there that bring a
lot of money to the airlines andit's a business.
So if that's this group,whatever is those people that
are bringing a lot of money andyou're delaying this um, that's
the airlines got to make thatchoice.
Is that the repercussions andthe the fallout for the um?
(40:01):
You know comments and stuffthey're going to have with all
the people that they'reinconveniencing?
That's what they got to dealwith.
They got to make that choice.
I personally am 100% with you.
Close the damn door.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
I think it's bullshit .
It's bullshit, right, I do.
I just think it's bullshit.
Everybody has an excuse of whythey're late for anything,
especially in our business.
They all have an excuse, andeverybody else is that you, you,
you make everybody else's day alittle bit longer because you
decided, hey, I don't have toshow up at this time, but that's
(40:33):
fine.
I mean I get it.
I mean you know if, if that'sthe case, I mean they hold, we
stay.
But I don't agree with it.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm, I, I'm with you.
100.
I do not agree that we shouldbe inconvenienced.
And all these people, I mean, Idon't care how much money you
bring to the plane, the companyor whatever go yeah, you should
be going.
But here's the thing we live inthis world that this happens all
the time and we see it everyday.
I know right and like and andlike it's inconvenience us as a
(41:02):
crew too, like we're just tryingto do our job and get there and
do everything on time, thewhole nine yards, what we're
trained to do, but at the sametime you know it's rude.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Yeah, it is.
It's rude.
All right, now this one realquick on this one.
So, flight attendant, I wasworking with her across the
aisle and all of a sudden shegot this bad look on her face
and I knew exactly what it was.
What do you think it was Bad?
Look on her face.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
Yeah, like you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (41:24):
Like all of a sudden, your face just made a funny
look on it.
Speaker 1 (41:29):
Well, I probably think that she's like not liking
what she's looking at.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
No dragon breath, man .
I mean, you know, it was like Iwas like what was going on.
She's like, oh my God, it wasso bad.
Whose so bad?
Who's the person that she wasasking what they wanted to drink
?
Speaker 1 (41:43):
Oh, oh, I get you.
Okay, now I'm following whatyou're talking about.
Yeah, the person that she justthe customer she just talked to
has dragon breath.
Speaker 2 (41:52):
Yeah, she was like I couldn't help it.
She goes, my face just reacted.
It was so bad.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
Dude, you know what I'm thinking about this.
I'm like thinking you know whatyou want to get rich.
You know they got all thesedevices out there.
You know, blow into this thing,lose weight.
Blow into this thing to figureout you're too drunk.
Why don't they got like adragon breath detector?
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Level level level level of how bad your breath
smells.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think the thing would justlike take off like something
that you could sell the publicwhere, hey, I got gonna check my
breath because it's called ayou stink pan, yeah something.
It's like like a you knowdragon monitor, you know like
it's literally.
That can happen with aco-worker, they can have it with
a passenger, they can have,like even I like if I had bad
(42:39):
breath and we all have badbreath, we're all human, right.
So if you, if I had it, man, Iwould.
I really want somebody to tellme, but everybody's not like
that, right.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
I you know the one thing I can say with me being in
this industry I'm veryconscious of my breath because,
you know, I always make surethat I always make sure that
either have gum or got some kindof breath freshener or whatever
it is Cause I'm conscious aboutit.
I mean, I really am.
But anyway, it was just funny.
I felt kind of bad for theperson because you know, and
(43:09):
you're right, everybody has badbreath every once in a while.
But when you're sitting acrossfrom somebody and you're looking
at them, that face, oh my God,it was so funny.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
It's bad.
I mean bad breath is bad.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
All right, let's go over a couple other things.
Lithium battery runaway fire onthat plane.
Did you see that?
No, all right.
So they had.
It was up in the overhead bin.
It started and you couldactually see it torch from the
overhead bin up and they'relucky that they got it in time.
And uh, and that crew reactedreally great.
They came on there with water,liquids, everything.
They were dousing it, soakingit and it was dripping down
through the cabin.
But uh, lithium batteryrunaways man, we talked about
that numerous times.
(43:45):
Folks make sure about thoseyeah, man, we.
Speaker 1 (43:48):
There's so many devices out there right now.
They could have that.
That can happen, but peoplejust don't think about that.
But um, back to your story here, because I'm not familiar with
it.
When did it happen?
Was this on the ground?
Was in the air?
Speaker 2 (43:58):
oh, yeah, he's in there, okay, gotcha.
Yeah, I mean that's, that'ssuper dangerous right there.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
Yeah, I mean it was bad.
I mean, yeah, it was in the air, okay, gotcha.
Yeah, I mean that's superdangerous right there.
Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
It was bad, I mean, but the crew reacted really good
.
I mean, like I said, they werejust dousing it and, as we know,
we flooded with liquid, butyeah, they cooled it off and
they got it contained.
So props to them.
That was a good one.
How one?
How about the aircraft thatalmost took off on the on the
taxiway?
What?
Yeah, yeah, come on I believethat one yeah, that's crazy.
(44:29):
I've heard you've been clearfor takeoff I mean over our
career and stuff.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
I've heard of crazy stuff like I've heard of planes
landing on a taxiway, but takingoff on a taxiway, man, come on,
I mean there's no.
There's no lights like for evenday or night on a train.
There's lights for the runway,right.
I mean they're bright.
I mean, how do you mistake ataxiway to take off?
Speaker 2 (44:52):
They rebooked all the passengers.
Now, do you think there was adebrief in that one?
Speaker 1 (44:57):
Somebody might not be flying for a little while, just
a little bit.
Maybe a little extra trainingis coming your way.
Speaker 2 (45:03):
But yeah, taxiway takeoff not a good one.
And maybe an eye exam.
Now this next one, this nextone.
Okay, this person.
There's a special place in hellwaiting for her.
Who's that?
This woman was recently foundguilty, but the occurrence
happened in 2024.
She was accused of drowning herdog at the airport.
(45:25):
Oh my God, how messed up isthat?
You know how much I love dogs.
Why?
Why?
So she did not have the correctpaperwork and she didn't have
the funds to have the dog travelwith her.
So they rejected her.
So they had her on video andthey showed her going into the
bathroom, while she came outwithout the dog.
(45:45):
All right, so nobody reallythought anything about it, right
?
Because they'd just seen allthis water they were cleaning up
and no one was paying attention.
Right.
Well, when the airport cleaningpeople went in there, they were
cleaning all this water up andwhen they went to take the trash
out, they knew it was reallyheavy.
Well, they found this, this, um, this dog and it was a white
(46:07):
dog that was in the trash candead.
She had went in there and shehad drowned that damn dog.
And and in there and put in thetrash can and she, then she.
Just recently she was found.
She was found guilty of that.
But you know something specialplace in hell just waiting for
you when you do that to ananimal, come on, yep, I I can't
kill an animal animal because ofyour inconvenience yeah,
(46:27):
because, because you didn't wantto pay, or whatever it was yeah
, I mean that's bullshit.
I mean you know something youdid.
That that's just a bunch ofcrap.
Speaker 1 (46:34):
Oh my gosh you know people that you just you just
kind of sometimes wonder, likewhat, what reasoning like drove
her to this, like this point?
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (46:45):
There's no reason.
Speaker 1 (46:46):
Hey, did you hear about the update about the plane
that rolled over there?
Speaker 2 (46:52):
The, the the preliminary results.
Speaker 1 (46:53):
No, you're going to tell me about that.
Yeah, yeah.
So the preliminary resultsright now.
Just like we had said, we werelooking at the video, man, the
plane came down to hard descentand the, the, the wheels
collapse, you know?
Speaker 2 (47:06):
that's exactly what me and you were talking about
yeah that, just that justhappened today.
Speaker 1 (47:10):
I mean, like this is a fresh off the press here.
I mean it is, uh, it was a hard, hard landing and uh, that's
what resulted and luckilyeverybody got out of there alive
and all that stuff that didn'ttake minimal, it didn't take
long yeah, just a preliminaryresult, but I mean it for all of
us that are in the industry.
Looking at that, it doesn'ttake the brain science or you
(47:30):
know, all these people to likeanalyze this we.
We saw it ourselves, yeah, butum other things happening right
now too is uh, if you're goingon spring break now, you had
london heathrow shut down.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
I seen that?
Yeah, I Did you see that.
Speaker 1 (47:42):
Yeah, I did Until midnight tonight, right, no, no,
no, no, no, not until midnight.
They burnt the power station.
There was a fire at the powerstation for the entire airport.
No way the airport won't beopened up.
They have no idea when it'sgoing to open up again.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
Are you kidding me?
Yeah, I didn't know that.
Entire airport.
That is freaking crazy.
Speaker 1 (48:01):
International flights all over.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Could you imagine the amount of just the people and
money that's going to be lost?
Speaker 1 (48:06):
Yeah, they're like people you're talking about
diverting and all this stuff andinconveniencing.
All these people are going todifferent countries.
They're you know.
Hey, I'm getting ready to go toLondon Now I'm landing in
France.
You know like what?
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Yeah, you can't even go to Heathrow.
You're going to have toactually travel a train or
whatever.
It is Right.
Speaker 1 (48:23):
You're going to have to either schedule another
flight into Gatwick or you'regoing to have to be able to go
into another country and getthere by train or something like
that, or by boat.
Speaker 2 (48:33):
That is freaking crazy.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
This is going to go on for a while.
This is a breaking story thatjust happened, but I wanted to
get into fun facts now.
In 1914, the first commercialflight scheduled happened, and
it was on a plane that was madeout of wood how many passengers
I have.
No, I don't know the details ofthis, but I just know that
(48:56):
there's fun facts like they.
They were saying that the firstit was from st petersburg to
tampa bay uh, to tampa.
It was on one of those airboatplanes and, um, it was the first
scheduled flight ever, but itwas made.
Speaker 2 (49:12):
Imagine being in line sitting there.
Hey, you're the only customeron that plane yeah here.
Speaker 1 (49:17):
here's the crazy thing.
But like we're so modernizednow when people don't like
realize like all aircraft weremade out of wood.
In the beginning they didn'teven think about making aircraft
out of metal.
They started putting metalaround wood later on they still
had this structure.
Inside wasn't just metal, itwas wood and metal.
(49:38):
All this is just involved ineverything.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
I can't even imagine that first passenger's face
right as you're taking off going.
God, I hope this gets off theground.
Speaker 1 (49:48):
Yeah that, that, that's crazy man.
Anyways, um 1918, the standardtime acts was uh started
happening.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
I hate this shit.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
Do you like?
Do you like the no-transcript,like they change it for the
(50:35):
farmers?
But I think there's more to itthan just the farmers, but I
hate it.
But uh, 1918 is when ithappened and then they did an
amendment to it, uh, in the 60s.
Uh, just because there's somestates that the line was wrong
and the because they hadestablished five different time
zones and stuff.
But other than that man, we'vebeen stuck with it ever since
and I'd love to get rid of thatcrap yeah, they should say
(50:56):
changed in 2025 change betweenlike right now, right right
change that shit.
Stop it absolutely anyhow.
All right, so let's talk aboutthe destination.
This week destination is keylargo, as we're talking about
key largo.
Key largo is, uh, superinteresting, something that just
happened, like last two days atkey largo.
(51:18):
And here's something thatimpacts people if you're driving
out to the key log.
Have you ever drove out to thekeys?
Oh yeah, yeah, one highway in,one highway out, and it is like
the um.
I got stuck on it once in fogand there was a major accident
shut us down.
We were like staying stilltraffic for almost five hours.
(51:39):
It was crazy, but that justhappened in key largo.
They had brush fires down thereand, uh, it shut down the
highway for a few hours as well,yeah, well, the fire and smoke
and it's not a lot of land there, yeah, so, uh, it was, it was
all.
It was shut down.
But anyway, key largo is a coolplace to go.
It is one.
It's known for uh being thedive capital of the world.
(52:01):
It's one of the um.
It's got one of the only well,it is got the only reef, uh,
coral barrier reef in the UnitedStates.
Did you know that?
I did yeah, and um in in indoing that.
You know we're always trying tolike build up that coral reef
and stuff.
And back in the day, um, in theuh mid 70s I believe it was um
(52:25):
the spiegel grove boat.
They scuttled it out there tomake bigger and more reef.
Have you're you're a diver?
Are you a diver?
no, okay so I mean, I've been on, uh, some boat dives because I
do dive into other stuff and uh,you know seeing scuttled boats
and stuff and it's amazing, likein the time span, like they
(52:46):
sink these boats just to makethe coral like grow and grow on
it.
And you know life, you knowunderwater life and stuff, it
gets all over them, all thestuff, but it's super fast.
It's unbelievable.
But I guess the last, a biggiant hurricane that hit the
keys, the boat was on its sideand now it flipped it upright.
