Have you ever wondered what flight attendants are really thinking when your plane is delayed for the fifth time? The glamorous life of airline crews isn't nearly as shiny as it appears on Instagram.
In this eye-opening episode, Shawn and G pull back the curtain on the reality of working at 30,000 feet. From equipment swaps that turn a simple turn into a 15-hour nightmare to the bizarre case of a flight attendant whose dog transport side hustle accidentally became an illegal immigration operation, we dive deep into aviation's strangest stories. The hosts share their first-hand experience dealing with mechanical issues that forced a diversion, only to have a passenger accuse them of "doing it on purpose" as part of some elaborate conspiracy.
The conversation takes unexpected turns as we explore truly bizarre reasons for flight delays that passengers rarely hear about: a 450-pound seal lounging on the runway, mice scampering through the cabin, planes grounded for lack of toilet paper, and the now-viral "Garfield t-shirt guy" being dragged off a plane. Throughout these tales, a common theme emerges: the stark contrast between what passengers perceive and the complex reality of commercial aviation operations.
Between laughs about the "puny mortal" passenger who attacked a crew member and heartfelt reflections on the Texas flash floods and community response, Shawn and G deliver an honest look at airline life that will forever change how you view your flight crew. Whether you're a frequent flyer, aviation enthusiast, or just enjoy workplace drama, this episode offers a first-class ticket into the controlled chaos of commercial aviation.

Coast.
And then we get out to bad shit, crazy LA and we load up the
plane.
Dude, it was like I am likeevery day, every week is a freak
show man.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
So you go from normal to not so normal.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's the contrast.
I, I mean people need to seeour view of like the world and
like the markets we like fly to,because it is so crazy how
different they are.
Like so much drama getting on aplane in la cleveland man, they
just come on, they sit, theychill they, they entertain
themselves.
You know they want a beverageand to get something to eat,
(02:03):
whatever normal normal shitthat's why I said normal to not
normal.
Yesterday that call light wentoff, like if it went off once.
It went off 50 times.
It was like constant.
Like you know that flight islike ding yeah, ding, ding, yeah
.
And then like we're having aconversation, yeah, ding, like
come on, stop, stop.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Already you know it's like, uh, it's, it's, it's so
annoying it's funny, when youleave cleveland they'll get on
board and you see blue jeans,some t-shirts, you know I mean
right, pretty normal rightsweatshirts and it.
You get la how you?
You have no idea what's comingon your plate.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You have no idea.
And and this is welcome to thefreak show yeah, it's.
It's this like need of like, um, there's so fucking needy, it's
just like and then, and then,how I'm important.
Yeah, I'm in part of it.
Everybody's entitled towhatever they want to do,
whatever.
But yeah, that's been happeningand we never talked about this.
(03:04):
Is that?
One aspect of this businessthat happens to us constantly is
swapping.
Swapping what?
What do you have equipment?
Oh yeah, dude.
We've never really talked aboutthis, but this is one of the
big sucks in our life and thatis we're going and doing this
turn.
We're just thinking, oh, we'regoing to get to work, we're
(03:25):
going to fly here, fly back, andyou know this.
These are the delays of oursystem.
With that, we do not get paid.
I don't think in the no, flightattendants in the united states
are getting paid for sittingaround not just that, though.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
People really don't.
They don't understand how itworks.
Uh, in the airlines, it's likea game of chess, right, I mean
you.
At times, you'll, you'll playthe game.
You'll all be together most ofthe time as soon as you land,
right, are you not with thepilots?
You're not with the planes?
You're not.
You're moving all over theplace.
Some days, you're a king andqueen, right, when you move.
(03:58):
Most days, you're a freakingpawn, yeah, but you don't.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And the whole point is you don't know what you're
going to get when you get there.
So, like in flight, they'relike they're changing and
swapping equipment, the aircrafton us.
So we think that we're going tobe flying this plane out to LA
and then flying it back toCleveland and we get there, and
every week for the last twoweeks now they keep swapping our
planes out, so we take a delay,so they give our plane to
(04:24):
somebody else, which makes them,I guess, on time, and then we
get to sit around and they keepdoing it to us yeah, but what
the bet?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
the better part of that, though, sean, is when they
take like you're, you'resupposed to have like a 900, and
there's there's 20 seats infirst class, yeah, and then they
downgrade it we've been gettingit.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
We've been like a 700 yeah, we've been.
They have not been doingdowngrades, which is fantastic.
We've been equal.
But you've done it beforethough, oh yeah, when you talk
about swapping.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, I mean really the story is, when you talk
about swapping aircraft, whenyou go from a 900 to a 700, then
you deal with those LA peopleinsane, so that people are not
getting on a plane people arenot, you know.
And then they're coming onsuper unhappy, right, they're
pissed, yeah, they're like superunhappy, entitled, pissed, yeah
(05:11):
, pissed yeah, so, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
So we've been.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I've been dealing with that man every week and
this, the swapping, is just soannoying and unbelievable but
then you know, one of the goeswith that too is when they swap
aircrafts, it's like they wantyou to board right away.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You don't even have pilots yet yeah, the the line
that's going on in the industrywith like, oh, the plane's
coming in here at uh x 30minutes, whatever right, and
we're gonna board like in thirdon no problem, just go ahead and
board them up.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, but the pilots aren't here yet.
Oh, that's okay.
Operations says go ahead andboard.
You can board.
Yeah, you can board.
Okay, but it's hot on the plane.
Well, it's not that bad.
So you guys go ahead and board.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, yeah, but never mind that we have to clean it
and cater it and unload all theother luggage and get the other
luggage back on it and all thatcrap that goes with it.
But you know what?
Let's start boarding twominutes after they got off.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, and then let's just line their ass in that hot,
hot ass jet way.
That's not air conditioning,yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
That's, it's just so.
So this is just like some ofthe aches and woes of our
industry and stuff, but that'sbeen going on and it's been
driving me nuts and I'm like youknow me.
That's why I fly so little.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You're going to love my part of the catch-up on the
swapping part, but go ahead,keep going, because you're going
to love my part of whathappened this week, right?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So, anyways, now my decompress is me coming home and
I get to golf and golf's beengoing pretty good.
I've been having you know theups and downs of golf and
everything, but uh, you're nothaving any houses, no houses.
Everything's been other thanlike.
It was funny.
Like Tuesday I went out and Iplayed golf and I hit like four
(06:59):
or five balls out of bounds.
And then today I go out playingthe same damn course not ball
is out of bounds.
And then today I go out playingthe same damn course not a ball
out of bounds, not a you know,like the.
There's like literally almost a15 stroke difference between my
score.
It's so crazy, but that's golf.
But uh, I got a big tournamentcoming up this weekend so I had
to like tune it up and get readyfor this tournament and uh, I'm
(07:21):
looking forward to it.
So there'll be stories fromthat, I'm sure, because to it.
So there'll be stories fromthat, I'm sure, because there's
always some shit that these guysdo at the tournament.
That is funny.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Now you've been playing a long time.
Yeah, now with golf, they saythat that one small thing that
you do like the difference is,say you're in your swing, so you
have this consistent swing.
All of a sudden, say you turnthe head a certain way.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, just one little difference swing all of a
sudden say you turn the head acertain way, yeah, and then, and
then that ball's gone.
Yeah, just a slight littledifference in whatever you're
doing will change everything.
I mean, it's it, golf is a veryuh, it's a very technical sport
.
So, like you, gotta everythingyou do, I don't care what you're
putting, swimming, you know,driving, hitting your irons, it
(08:03):
doesn't matter.
Everything is like so precise,so you got to get it right every
time.
If you don't, it's going toshow you that you didn't do it
right.
So you're playing a tournamentthis weekend yeah, this internet
, and it's a big moneytournament for me.
So, um, every year we did, meand my buddy, that, uh, we, I
golf with his partner and we do,we do pretty decent, decent.
(08:23):
So we're looking forward to it.
She'd be good a weekend.
But here's, here's the coolthing.
So the wife took off to Indiana.
Oh, you're alone.
And now I got bachelor weekend.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
And you're not working either.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
I'm not working.
All I'm doing is golfing andfun and sun.
Oh, the other thing thathappened today in my round was a
dude on my round got a hole inone.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Really.
Yeah, I'm going to blow yourphone up because my ass is
working.
I was just sitting therethinking about that.
I'm blowing your phone up.
No, it's bullshit.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
He'll be in mute during the rounds, but you can
catch me drunk after the rounds.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Tell me how much money you won, right.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Right, tell you how much I won that day and what
we're looking forward for thenext day and all good stuff.
You know, what you should do,though this is what would be
super cool is for you to comeover and actually experience one
of the shootouts.
So like, like so, on Saturdaywe were going to play Saturday,
we're going to Sunday, and thenSunday after Sunday was round
(09:25):
Like normally, I'd say aroundfive o'clock or something like
that they, we have a shootoutand the shootout's fun because
it's a crazy shit show likeeverybody gets their carts and
we go from hole to hole and it'skind of like going to a golf
tournament and you would like it, it's have you been drinking
the whole?
time.
Um, some people are drunk, somepeople are very drunk by that
time if you've been like ifthey've like been golfing and
they had a really bad day andthey they're like they showed up
(09:45):
to shoot out like shit pace.
Normally I'm not because Idon't drink and golf like that's
not my thing.
If I'm doing a tournament, Ican't do that.
I don't have that ability.
Some guys get better shootinggolf like drunk, but I can't do
that.
But, uh, you should show up.
I mean, it's sunday, I don'tknow what you're doing.
I'm working, sean.
You're not working.
(10:06):
You're probably doing a turn.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
No bullshit, you'll be back home, I'm actually
working.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You're gone.
You're like doing a layover.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
No, you know something?
I actually traded one of mytrips for tomorrow too.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Imagine that yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Anyways, what's been going on with you?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Oh my God.
So you know you guys can relateto this.
Have you ever started your dayand your day is great?
You just wake up and you'relike everything's going good.
You get to work and then boardthe aircraft Everything's going
great.
We're sitting there and boardedup.
We went on time.
All we were doing is a littlefour turn.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Just a little Florida turn Down to Florida and back.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Right Done by like 1 o'clock.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That's it.
Yeah, and they swapped myequipment.
Yeah, this is the same feelingI'm going when I go to my
freaking doing the LA turn.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
This is what people really don't understand about
our glamour.
I love that.
When people say, oh, yourlife's so glamorous, I'm like
that's bullshit, there ain'tnothing glamorous.
There's nothing glamorous aboutthis job.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, like a handful throw up or nothing glamorous
about it.
People shitting on the carpet.
We take off on time.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We took off on time.
We're at cruise altitude andwe're going down there and the
next thing in the year we're inthe middle of our service here
at Ding and Gary comes to theback.
So I come to the back and I'mlistening to this sound.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's one of those sounds Airplanes make certain
sounds right, we all know them,dude we know the plane like it's
our car or our house, right,like any little wrong sound, we
know.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
We're just tuned in we could be doing all kinds of
shit and all of a sudden youhear something that you know
that's not an airplane soundnormal and all of a sudden,
you'll just sit there.
It's like that um, thosegophers, right like when they
whistle, they just look up thewhole crew's, like looking at
each other going oh shit, thatthat wasn't normal yeah, if
you're on a plane and all thecrew starts like looking at them
(12:05):
, each other like an oh shit.
Yeah, that shit wasn't normal,but anyway, we had one of those
oh shit, that wasn't normallooks.
But so I went to the back, waslistening to the sound and then
get a hold of the cockpit andthat's the one thing we talk
about all the time is crewcommunication?
Right, we have really good crewcommunication when we hear
(12:27):
sounds on an airplane that isnot supposed to sound like that.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
And also there's like um crew currency on that too,
you know, and what I'm talkingabout is like the difference
between us telling the pilotslike oh, we just heard something
that's doesn't sound right,Right, and you got a new hire
like oh, we just heard somethingthat doesn't sound right, Right
, and you got a new hire like oh, I heard something that doesn't
(12:52):
sound right to me, thecredibility level just doesn't
equal.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Okay, this is where this is going today.
Is the credibility part of that?
So we call the cockpit andthey're like we can't feel
anything.
But they're like Gary, what doyou think it is?
And I, and I was telling them,I was like this is what it was.
And and so, when, when, uh, wewere going, everything was fine.
So they, they said we're justgoing to get it checked out.
When we got down to Orlando.
(13:14):
So we got down to Orlando and,um, they, they did their whole
check.
So this takes a long time.
I mean, when they do a servicecheck like that, it takes a long
time because they're checking alot of things out, because when
you're talking about soundsthat are not right and this is a
senior crew- that's thedifference.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Did you say where you're going, like what city?
Did you fly?
To Orlando?
You went to Orlando, yeah, okay, and then so this happened
coming into Orlando.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Going in about mid, I mean probably about not even
halfway there.
I mean you could hear the sound.
I mean it was pretty consistent.
But anyway, we got down thereand so they checked everything
out.
I mean they checked out thewings, the tail, they got up on
the lift, they got everywhere totry to see if there was a
problem and rightfully so,because it's safety of flight.
(14:03):
Well, they came back back andthe report was to the cockpit.
They couldn't find anything.
So if you can't find anythingand there's still a sound,
something still isn't right.
Right, so they go ahead andmake the decision.
They look at this other.
It's like a cover underneaththe side of the plane.
(14:23):
So when they went down there,they checked it out and they
seen that one of them was alittle bit loose.
So they just took it, theyreplaced it, put a new one in
and then they did the reports.
But by that time, shit, we werealready like an hour and a half
, almost two hours, late.
That's how long some of thesechecks take for the maintenance
guys.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
So they turn around and said okay, you're cleared to
go.
So we take off and I'm thinking, finally, right, we're going to
be a few hours late, but hell,it's not that bad, let's get
going, let's go home.
So, yeah, we get at cruisealtitude and I'm thinking, okay,
no dings, right, Because whenwe hear a ding, then we know
that the shit's going to go badagain.
Sure, so next thing, you know,I'm getting up, getting in the
(15:06):
galley and I'm thinking, okay,we're good.
I told the other flightattendant, I said we're good, we
didn't hear anything out ding,they're like gary, come to the
back.
I'm like shit.
So I go to the back.
I heard the same same sound.
This is the the part that itstarts really going to shit.
So, make a phone call.
Now it becomes that thing.
(15:27):
What you're just saying it'syou have this senior crew and
they're telling you the sameproblem happens.
So a decision's got to be made,right, all right.
So a decision is made is alwayssafety of flight.
So what we did is that weturned around and we had to go
back to Orlando.
No, excuse me, we had to goactually back to.
(15:50):
I started this thing.
We went to Orlando, right, yeah, no, we were going.
I'm sorry, we were going toFort Myers.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Our first part.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
No, we were going, I'm sorry we were going to fort
myers, our first part.
We were going to fort myers.
Oh, okay, so you flew down tofort myers, this mechanical
happened going down to fortmyers, down to fort myers yeah,
they were dealing with it, andthen we had to divert to orlando
.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
It kind of screwed that up, didn't I?
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
so we had a little bit, but I was trying to set you
up no, I screwed it up myself,right?
That's how crazy that day Iknew that but uh keep going so
you just let me go with it, letyou go with it, keep going but
anyway, so we we'd, we had to,had to divert to orlando.
We landed in orlando and uh,and we went and we, we taxied
(16:34):
over into the other terminal, wepulled up and we and they had
told us they had anotherairplane.
That's freaking amazing, right.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, the cool thing about Orlando, too, is this is
that, like for our airline,there's a big, huge maintenance
facility there, and anotherthing about there is that they
do like big checks and stuffthere, so they have the aircraft
that you can swap out to andall that stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
But that was a problem though.
That is, you're exactly right,but usually they're right in the
middle of those big checks onthose planes, so there's usually
not another extra plane.
But there was today.
So it actually ended up workingout pretty good, because we
they say that there's anotherplane, so we had to walk from
this aircraft, go going to theother side of the concourse.
So we're deploying the aircraftand we're telling people you
(17:21):
know, yeah, we're going over tothis other plane and there's
that one guy that comes off andhe goes.
You did this on purpose, swearto God, he goes.
You did this on purpose.
I said did what on purpose?
He goes.
You took off and then then youturned around and you landed in
(17:42):
Orlando on purpose, because youneeded the plane in Orlando.
And I looked at him.
I said so you're telling me.
We took off, we flew up toalmost the panhandle and then we
turned our asses around andwent back to Orlando because we
needed the plane.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
We had planned to do this.
This is a conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Swear to God, you can't make this up.
I mean it's ridiculous, butanyway, he makes all of his dumb
comments, gets off the plane,so we deplane, go to the other
side of the airport.
Sean, when have you ever seenthey had a plane already pulling
up?
Never, you've never seen it,right, no?
So then they pull it up.
You've never seen it, right, no?
So then they pull it up.
Now you have to go throughsecurity checks, you have to go
(18:17):
through the sweeps because thatplane's been in the hangar.
They've got to go through allthis shit just to get this plane
back in.
So then what do they do?
This is the crap that justkeeps rolling down, rolling down
.
Then they bring in all of theold catering.
We've already heated the mealsup.
Meals aren't any good.
Oh jeez the ice or bags of water.
You got all this shit you gotto deal with.
(18:37):
So then you got a hot airplane.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah.
See people don't understand allthis stuff that goes on, all
the logistics that go intoprepping an aircraft for a
flight.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Just a board, yeah, so you're trying to get somebody
to cool the aircraft off.
You're getting the cateringcome back on and and they're
just throwing all that shit backon there and they want you to
serve that that nasty cookedshit that's been like six, six
hours old, to these passengers.
I'm like I'm not doing that.
So then we got to get ice, wegot to get catering, we got to
(19:08):
do all this stuff.
We start boarding back up, okay, and then, and, and then we're
thinking, okay, we're here, wego right, right, right
Legalities.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Oh no, yeah, I knew that was getting ready to come,
because this was going on for awhile.
Yeah, legalities, legalitiesalways creep into the picture,
and then now everybody startsreally scrambling.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And this is what passengers don't know.
In our cockpit, what they didis for these people to act
because they're going to getstuck.
They were done right.
So our cockpit, they extendedtheir legalities to fly.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
If you want to get stuck someplace, orlando's the
place to get stuck at, though itis Because there's lots of
hotels there, there's lots ofall this stuff to accommodate
the passengers, and stuffopposed to Greensboro.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Who in the hell wants to get stuck though, after
you've already boarded a planeright there?
Ain't no way in hell, nobody.
So.
But anyway, they extended.
Um, we, we got back intoCleveland and it was one hell of
a day, I'm telling you.
It was like 15 hours.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We're supposed to get in at one o'clock and it was
like a 15 hour Fort Myers turn.
You're like a 15 hour fortmyers turn.
You're supposed to turn into 15hour, 15 hour, 15 hour for
myers turn, yikes yeah this is.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
That's a big suck dude.
You think, yeah, there's therewas.
Did you notice there was youraircraft swapping yeah in in
that that is, that is the um,the glamorous part of our job.
There's no glamour, there's noglamour, I don't know, you know
every time somebody says thatthere's no damn glam.
People believe there's noglamour nope, these are like.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It's like rainbows shooting out of unicorns ass.
Here we are having fun rainbows.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
That's right, that's a good one anyhow.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
So, yeah, man, so uh, you know, the world has been
going crazy with two since, uh,last time we talked, I mean this
flash flood that just happenedin texas, that was crazy.
Wow, that was crazy.
Wow, you know, when I startedhearing all the stories about it
and at first it was like, youknow, oh, there's flash floods,
and you know, and they weren'treally making a big deal out of
(21:16):
it, everything and.
And then then you startedhearing about, like this, like
the death toll going up and allthis stuff and these
catastrophic losses, and you'relike, wait a minute, wait a
minute, there's, this is a major, major event that's happened.
That just kind of like justeased into the news, you know it
was.
It was kind of of it's kind ofweird to me like the whole thing
(21:37):
.
It wasn't like like a hurricane, you know, here comes hurricane
etna, you know, and she's gonnawipe out the whole eastern
coast, or you know shit likethat.
This was just like something'shappening, this flooding over
here, like we hear in here inohio, like we get flooding all
the time, right, but we don'thear about like massive
catastrophes like this.
But it was all all the timeRight, but we don't hear about
(21:58):
like massive catastrophes likethis, but it was all about the
time it hit, like in the middleof the night this all happened.
Had no idea it was coming.
Yeah, just like hit thesepeople like nothing.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I mean the stories I've heard and like the heroism
that was happening and it waslike wow, I think some of the
most gut-wrenching things iswhen you hear these people talk
about these kids that werebasically screaming and they
couldn't help them.
Yeah, they couldn't help them.
I mean it was just.
I mean it's incredibly sad.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
The power of nature is unbelievable when you see it
up personal.
When you see it up personal, Imean to have a body of water
coming through and moving at thepace it was moving and washing
away buildings in the camp andall that stuff and not being
able to get to them and stuff isjust it's tragic, but you know
(22:49):
something I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I think that most people don't really understand
how you know, with flash floods,how, how that really works, and
and and and how, with flashfloods, how that really works.
And it was amazing that theyhad actually videos of people
during the day, though, sean, Imean, this wasn't just at night,
it was continuing on throughthe day.
And it's amazing to me thatwhen you're standing there,
(23:11):
you've got your kids there andyou see, and you're like, oh,
the water's supposed to becoming, the water's supposed to
be coming, their water'ssupposed to be coming.
And they're looking down thisvalley and they see the water
start coming and they realizehow bad it is right, and then
they all start running.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, the force of nature, I mean, it's kind of
like that.
Uh, tsunamis that happened overin, you know, in asia, and all
that stuff that you're like, youknow, when you see this wall of
water coming at you and stufflike that and flash floods
normally isn't like a water, awall of water, it's just a a
gradual, quick rise of the water, you know.
(23:49):
So you're not, they're notseeing like a dam breaking and
like it's coming down andwashing it right type of thing.
It's just like all of a suddenwater comes and it starts
getting higher and higher andhigher and higher until wow,
well, it's coming down toWashington, that type of thing.
It's just like all of a suddenwater comes and it starts
getting higher and higher andhigher until wow.
It's already on you, it's up tothe second floor of a house.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Right, but they were showing videos of the daytime of
these people actually runningout of the way.
Now you can understand howthese kids in this camp didn't
get out, because it was in themiddle of the night, wow, okay.
But these people, you knew itwas coming.
I mean, you actually knew itwas coming and you were, and you
even put your kids in harmharms away.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, yeah, later in the later in the, the whole what
was happening as it was goingon.
I mean people, just you reactto what you see and what you
know and what you think you, youknow how you, how you feel,
wherever you feel you're gonnabe safe at, um, but I feel
wherever you feel you're goingto be safe at, but I feel for
all these people that are likethat were had at that camp
mystic, I mean, to send your kidaway from camp and then not to
(24:49):
be in, like most of theirparents weren't there.
There was no parents there forthose camp campers.
You know they were only thepeople that worked at the camp
and, like, the owner of the campdied.
Right, you know, trying torescue people.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
But you know what's amazing?
There's a couple other things.
That was amazing with that,though, too, is that it's
amazing that the response of thejust the community, I mean the
state, not just I'm not evensaying our government yet just
the state of Texas it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
The highway was just flooded with trucks already
going there, sure packed up yeah, I mean, that is what america
is all about, right, you know, Imean that but that just warms
on that that warms my heartabout, like the people that like
are doing this stuff for free,like they're not in it for
anything other than to justassist people, and and that's
(25:38):
how more of america should belike you know so many other ways
.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
When they showed, when they showed a lot of these
videos and and there's atremendous amount of videos of
of young men, right, younger men, right, middle-aged men that
were down in these, uh, thismarsh area, cutting all this
stuff up right, right, so manyof them fatigues, army, yeah all
all all you know they, they'reprobably some some branch you're
(26:06):
in texas.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
First of all, I know, I know, but it's it's.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It's amazing, though, when you're watching this and
and, and you see the response,say whatever you want to say
about Texas or anything, but letme tell you something, man.
They went down and all they didwas started going to work.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
That was it Started helping people.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I mean it was amazing .
But then you had these otherpeople because of whatever the
camp was a Christian camp orwhatever.
It is saying these idiotic,stupid things.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah Well, there's always going to be stupid
comments about it Things.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It just, I mean, it just amazes me when you see this
amazing things and then you seethese stupid people saying dumb
things about about this tragicthing that happened.
But the better.
The better part of that waswatching these people come to
help these other people.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
That was amazing.
You know what I think?
It was that guy that was onyour plane.
He came up and he said you guysplanned this.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, exactly, you did it on purpose, right.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
You did this on purpose, right.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yeah, you flooded this whole thing, idiots.
But hey, listen, you knowsomething.
Let's go on to this one.
This one is pretty funny.
What happens when a good deedgoes bad?
Sean, good deed goes bad.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
A good deed.
It's bad.
Yeah, it goes bad.
You want my answer?
It goes bad.
Oh, this shit went bad for him.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
So you had this flight attendant.
Now what he was doing he wasvolunteering, he was
transporting dogs fromMexicoxico into the united
states like doing, like rescue,or were they it?
Was like a side hustle.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
So the side hustle was, but like.
So there's so many aspects tothat and what you just said.
So was he doing like was thishe was making money doing this.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Like then people were purchasing dogs yeah, yeah, he
was working as an internationalshipper, oh gotcha.
Or a pet transportation company?
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Okay, I get you.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
So he had done this without any problems for years.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, Going back and forth, driving back and forth,
doing it side hustle.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
He probably used to fly back and forth to Mexico.
Seen all these dogs and thought, you know, this would be a good
deed.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I mean, there's how many animal all the animal
lovers out there, like I knowmany of our friends that are
animal lovers and they volunteerat the, you know SPCA and you
know rescue places and stufflike that.
I mean, I get it.
Yeah, he's doing something heloves to do.
He's doing it with animals.
Would you do that though?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
First of all, I need to be golfing.
You know something?
We got a lot of dogs in theUnited States.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I don't know if I can go down to Mexico and just
bring them back.
Yeah, there's a lot of dogs weneed to rescue in here in the
United States itself.
But I mean that's one of thereasons why I asked you what was
the situation.
But I mean that's one of thereasons why I asked you like
what was the situation Like whyare you doing this?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
What's this rescue?
How do they call it?
A side hustle?
Well, he was making money.
It's only a hustle.
If you're making money, right,exactly, you're making some kind
of income from it, sure, okay.
Well, now the good deeds aregoing to go a little bit bad.
So he was going down there.
He got a couple other people tocome pick up some other dogs.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
And he went down there and they kept changing the
location on him.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Where to pick up the dog.
Yeah, okay, dogs Dogs, pluralGotcha.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
So he went down there and when he finally got to the
final location and he pulled hiscar up, it wasn't dogs, what
was it, it was illegalimmigrants, oh man.
So here here, this guy.
He's in a situation now allright, and it's not normal
people that he's sitting therewith.
This is a cartel.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
so that that's a comfortable feeling shit's going
bad.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Right thought our day was going bad, his day just got
a lot worse, his equipment gotswapped yeah, it's not good.
So they, they told him.
They, they said that you'rebasically transporting these
illegal immigrants across thethe um border yeah, what would
you do?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
what do you think you would do like be in face of
that?
Let me I I'm thinking thatthese people that are meeting
him also has guns, like it's notjust like you know, jose and
Pablo saying no, you gotta take,you gotta take these three guys
over there, you know, and uhwell, it does remind me of
Honduras, with you Right, andthat would go to hanging from a
(30:33):
bridge, you know, with somethingbeing cut off your body.
But no yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
No, what I would think would be first of all,
you'd be shitting your pants,okay, because they're basically
telling you if you don't do it,they're going to kill you, right
, Okay, so you know that they'regoing to follow you.
Sure, all right.
So decision time.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Well, you just keep doing it, you know?
Here's the thing, like I don'tknow what I would do in a
situation, because I'm going totell you what I would do, but I
want to know what you do first.
Well, I mean, I'm telling youright now that I don't know what
I would do, given the situation, because I need to know.
There's a lot of variablesthere, like do they have weapons
(31:17):
?
If they don't have weapons, I'mnot sure.
But if they did have weapons,then maybe they would get in my
car and I would take them across.
But here's the thing Whetheryou take them across or not,
take them across.
Once you get onto the otherside or you get into that other
side, are you going to take themto their destination?
Are you going to take them tothe local authorities?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
You know, I thought you put up like an Uber sign.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
No, change my Uber.
Sign here now.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Like a Mexican transport service, transport.
No, you know something?
I think that what I would do isokay, they're, they're
following me, they're followingme, they're following me.
And then about, I'd say about,in the view of um, the border, I
would pull over and go, hey,listen, you know, you guys get
out, stretch your legs before itdoesn't be a little bit of time
before we get there, and gostretch their legs and then
(32:10):
close the damn doors.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
But I think they're going to follow you all the way.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
I don't give a shit.
At that point At least I'm inview of the customs agents.
I mean, at least you got a shot.
But I don't think I'd do it.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
But here's the thing.
I'm right back at you.
You're talking about cartel.
I know that, and they're goingto do whatever the F they want
to do.
I understand that Even at theborder in front of us, right
Like you do that and they'll belike get out, and they just
shoot you.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Okay, so this is what's going to happen to you.
So, anyway, he goes across andhe gets caught.
Right, so he gets caught andhe's transporting illegal
immigrants.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
So he's fired from his job, the airline job.
He's a flight attendant.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Well, and the reason why he gets fired is why.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Well, because of the TSA, Well it's a federal offense
right We've gone over that abunch of times.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
No, no no, no, no.
I'm trying to make sure thatthe audience here understands
why he gets fired Because, as aflight attendant, you cannot
have a federal charge chargedagainst you.
You can't be committed a felonyand be a flight attendant, and
so that's.
That's the point is why he'sgetting charged.
He's not getting.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
He's not getting fired because he's an uber
driver out of mexico it doesn'tmatter what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I don't care what he was doing, it's because he
committed a felony and and youcan't be a felon being a flight
attendant.
But keep going to the story.
I just want to point likethat's the reason why he got
fired.
It's not because of what he wasdoing or any like.
There's all different types offelonies out there and so the
point is he became a felon.
He can't be a flight attendant,he gets fired, he's criminal
(33:56):
now.
Sean Right Cool, where's that?
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Keep going with your story.
This dog transportation person,who is now a convicted felon,
sean, is no longer employed atthe airlines.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Right.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
So he's now got to go through this whole process.
He's now got to go through thiswhole process and he convinced
them that he actually it waswhat he was.
He was actually, he was forcedto by the cartel Right.
So they cleared him of allthose charges.
Yeah, Cool.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
So then he wasn't a felon.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Nope, right, he's not , he's still.
He's still a felon.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
How's he still a felon?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Well, he's cleared him all the charges he's well,
how, how's he still, how's henot employed?
Speaker 1 (34:43):
well, that's a contention that he has to do
with his airline.
Whatever you know, what I'msaying is that that was my whole
point.
Like he can be fired becausehe's a committed, a felony, you
can't just the act.
I don't care what the act was.
They're gonna be transferringpeople whatever, whatever type
of felony committed.
But once he's cleared of thatfelon he can be a flight
(35:04):
attendant.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Okay.
So why was this guy?
Why was this guy is still fired?
Was it TSA?
Was it the reason of TSA?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Cause he's not going to be able to clear it because
there's there was charges fromtsa, right, but the tsa had like
flagged him and all that stuffright, so then he can do his job
right.
So like he, if he was doinglike international flights,
stuff like that, he can be or hecan maybe get into the airport.
I don't know what the, I don'tknow what the flag level is
right, still didn't have his job.
(35:31):
Yeah, yeah, that's crazy thoughbut then, yeah, I mean that's a
bad situation.
But if he's not a felon, it'skind of like you're, you know,
proven, proven, you're supposedto be proven guilty, you know
you're not, you're innocentuntil proven guilty, type of
thing.
That's how it's supposed to be.
But he's like guilty beforehe's proven innocent, right so
(35:52):
he's not convicted of being afelon right.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
so he's no longer has a felony rap sheet, so why
wouldn't he get his job back?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Paperwork Red tape.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Would you have done that, though he's got the
scarlet letter.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Would you have done it?
Speaker 2 (36:08):
though.
Would you have done that?
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Dude, again I'm right back at you.
I don't know all the variablesof the situation.
Would I or wouldn't have doneit?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
You.
I don't know all the variablesof the situation.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Would I or wouldn't have done it.
You'd have been golfing.
I guarantee you, what I wouldhave been doing is I wouldn't
have been transporting anyanimals, period, first of all.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
You'd have been golfing, I'd have been golfing
yeah, for sure.
Yeah, that is crazy.
I mean, when I read that storyI was like so the cartel?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
was coming at me and was like we got some golf balls
that are, you know, you knowfentanyl that we want you to
take across.
That's how they would get me,because I'm not transferring
animals.
Hey, did you see what changedthis week?
What's that?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
uh, they, they're starting to allow passengers on
with, uh, their shoes oh, mylisten, that is like the best
news since sliced bread.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
I mean, I'm telling you like this has been 20 years
since we've had to, like, takeoff your shoes during the TSA.
And you know crew members, youknow all of us.
Anytime we go through, if yourshoes go off, you got to take
off your shoes, you know, andall that stuff.
But then they for 20 yearsthey've always made the public
do that.
The crew members, we can gothrough with our shoes, right,
(37:20):
we've always been able to dothat since a known crew member
started, and the only thing isis that in this whole news, it
doesn't matter if your shoes gooff, still, so you can go
through with your shoes, but ifyour shoes go off and they
unless that's alarm off, you gotto take off your shoes.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Right, and so a lot of these women that have nails
in their shoes, I mean that'swell, there's like a shank in
the shoe, like they're in.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
a lot of the shoes are made with like a metal shank
right down the center.
So that's, why they have thoselike TSA.
One aspect that is uh, um, youknow that slows things down, but
(38:05):
we'll see okay, it's a good,most bizarre, most bizarre
reason for a delay.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
that'd be.
Oh man, there's so many, somany reasons for crazy delays.
I mean we could talk about foryears and stuff, but I did come
across all these things on thisarticle on the Internet about
some of the stories and stuff,and the first one I came across
was the delay was they couldn'tget their luggage because the
(38:36):
luggage bin was iced over.
What exactly?
Like the the, you know, theluggage bin underneath the plane
.
Right, yeah, like they couldn'tget the plane luggage door open
.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Oh, okay, the door, I got you ice all over the plane
oh, I got it okay yeah, and I'mthinking, there's this thing
called de-icing fluid yeah, theyspray it actually on the ground
to spray it on that help I meanmaintenance comes out and
sprays the engines manually.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
You know like they spray inside the engines before
they go over to the dsc pad.
You know like, but but if thishappened, you know, I don't know
where this exactly happened,but that that was kind of a
bizarre one.
And then the other thing, likeI ran into one that was like
this had to have been the story,had to have been um an older.
Like we can't, they can't findthe pilots, like remember the
(39:28):
day like we were, like we can'tfind any pilots.
That still happens.
It happens less because thecomputer systems, like we know
where pilots are coming from andwhere you know, just like us
where they're supposed to becoming where they're supposed to
be coming, then we're like wecan't find pilots.
From the perspective of thecustomers, they're like you
(39:51):
can't find pilots.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
You're lying to us.
You did this on purpose, that'sbullshit.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
You can't find pilots .
Are you kidding me?
You?
Speaker 2 (40:00):
found a flight attendant.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah, flight attendants are here.
Where's the pilots?
How did you expect to fly thisplane if you don't have pilots?
Where's?
Speaker 2 (40:05):
your boarders Right.
It's too damn hot in here.
Give me something to drink.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Dude, it's a yeah, you owe us a hotel Vouchers,
Right?
I need five, eight free airline.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Are you going to give us drinks now?
Can we get drinks for free?
And drink drinks for free isthe first request, always.
Exactly.
Then there's a one I cameacross.
It says uh midair, uh pilotsuffers a heart attack.
(40:37):
Now that's a shocker, sean.
Yeah right.
Yeah, with our fit guys, rightoh, there's, yeah, they're.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Yeah, we do have like some very picture of fitness
going on in the airlines, butanyhow, yeah.
So this I guess a pilot got hada heart attack and they were
actually in this, this wholething.
They were asking you know, doesanybody know how to fly a plane
?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
on the remember.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Remember that that movie air the autopilot when
they inflate the autopilot andall that stuff, yeah, but I
guess this actually happened andI don't know when the
interesting thing in thisarticle didn't say like when
this happened, like what yearsthis happened?
These are just stories thathave collected over the years, I
guess, of different things thatare happening.
But like back in the day, likewhen we didn't pre-9-11 right,
(41:22):
like that's something.
Like that happened and like wecould say are there any other
pilots, are there some non-revenpilots or their pilots?
And you know, somebody knowshow to.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
And I guess and did anyone stay at a holiday and
express?
Speaker 1 (41:32):
right, all those things that could apply that
could assist us to get the planeon the ground safely, yeah, but
I guess they had some air forcepilot and this story was uh
stepped up and helped out theother co-pilot that was there
land a plane, but kind of crazy.
Um, the other thing was like uh, there was a flight that had
(41:57):
200 passengers.
They had to change planesbecause there was a mouse on
board.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Let me tell you something.
Years ago we was in Manila andwe were boarding the plane
Manila, as we're boarding, youknow the little runs down the
jetway.
You're sitting there and it'slike the little drain holes.
Yeah, as we're walking down thejetway, this big-ass rat just
ran up that freaking hole, randown.
It looked like ben ran down.
(42:26):
That little, that little, uhtrack yeah and then his ass went
right down the other hole andall I could think about was did
any of them?
Speaker 1 (42:35):
get in that damn plane, dude.
I had this happen to me like amouse was on the plane.
We were doing a service.
We're, like you know, pullingup the car down the aisle.
And we're going down the aisleand you know like how you're
kind of like turned your bodydown the aisle to kind of see
what you're going, pulling itwith one hand and looking where
you're going with the other way,and as I'm doing it, like from
(42:59):
one, like under somebody's seat,this mouse like darted down out
and like ran like five rows andthen darted in the other side
of the plane.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
I was like I just pictured a bunch of flight
attendants going oh hell, no,they just take off running.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
The first thing that went through my head was like it
was like that whole thing oflike you're like it.
You know, am I high.
Like am I really seeing what Ijust saw?
It, you know, am I high.
Like, am I really seeing what Ijust saw?
Like is this really happening?
Did I see a mouse?
And then some dude in the aisle.
He's like that was a damn mouthand you're like, oh shit, yeah,
(43:37):
but mice on plane is a serious,serious problem.
I mean the airlines ground.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
They will ground that aircraft you know, the only
time is not a problem, when yougot a cat on the plane.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Yeah, you got a cat, go get it.
Yeah, go get that mouse unzipthat damn mice get everywhere
and there's so many littlecracks and crevices and stuff to
get into in a plane and lots ofwires to chew on.
You know, last thing you wantis a mouse chewing on some wires
.
Anyways, yeah, so another delaythat was kind of crazy too that
they had in this article wasthey got delayed for about five
(44:13):
hours because the plane didn'thave toilet paper.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
I'm not going if it didn't have toilet paper.
Man there ain't no way.
Not going.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
If you ain't got some tissue to wipe my ass or
anybody else's ass, we're notgoing.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
There's a lot of asses that go back into that
bathroom.
First of all.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
One of the most important pieces of the aircraft
is the facilities right, yeah,I mean, I had to divert one time
because all of our freakinglabs stopped working.
Well, they stopped workingbecause you run out of our
freaking labs stopped working.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
Well, they stopped working because you run out of
toilet paper and they startfreaking putting paper towels
down at shit.
Yeah, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
I was doing.
I was doing like a transcon,and we got halfway across the
United States and we got toabout Denver and boom, the
toilet started stopped working.
Don't put shit, and I'm like westill got another two and a
half hours ago.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Yeah, and I'm like there's no way.
I was gonna say don't put shitin the lab, but that's the only
thing you want to put in the lab.
Right, put shit in the lab, butkeep the other shit out of all
the other crap.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
Keep it out, keep it out because you'll just mess the
lab up exactly and they havesigns about all that stuff.
But you know that's crazy.
But totally get that delay.
Um, the other one uh, dude, aplane was taxiing out and ran
into the toilet truck.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
That's nasty if he, if he broke that thing open.
That is nasty clean up on aisleone.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
I'm sorry that is would be the nastiest.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Like that's a biohazard, call the fire
department I'm just parking thetruck and I'm leaving, man who
has a hazmat cert wasn't myfault.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
I mean, that's just oh good grief.
Um, the other thing here's thefunniest one that I came across
was a delay.
There was a massive 450 poundbearded seal that was laying on
the runway and wouldn't movewho's gonna move a?
450 he had crawled up onto therunway and laid on the runway.
(46:20):
It was like chilling, like youknow I seen that picture now.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
The funny thing about it, that seal was looking at
you like go ahead.
Yeah, he's like give it yourbest shot Like they normally do
wherever they're laying down.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
They always kind of like just looking at you.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
You got a fish.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
You guys, I'm going to eat.
You got to have something.
I'm hungry.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
My ass ain't getting funny.
Try to roll me.
That shit was funny.
They end up having to callanimal control that delayed this
whole thing and to get this uhseal off the runway unbelievable
.
These are the crazy things thathappen in the airline industry.
That causes crazy delays, thatone dude in florida thinks that
we all intended to do it onpurpose.
On purpose you.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
There's a reason, because you had to get the plane
back and and and leave out ofthat.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
Out of that, okay yeah, man, let's go around the
globe another.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
Another thing okay, lithium batteries, folks don't
put them in your freaking bags.
Another one exploded in abackpack.
A forced aircraft to divert.
We tell you this all the timeif you got a lithium battery,
take the shit out, get it out ofyour bag.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
I'm so surprised that this doesn't happen.
Like more and more often, likethere's so many times, like, uh,
when you get a runaway, youknow fricking battery that, like
you know, starts starts on fireand stuff.
But it is it with the amount ofbatteries that we carry in the
plane on a daily basis you knowall those phones, laptops,
computers it's amazing that itdoesn't happen more often.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Well, and thank God, because you don't want that
runaway.
They don't understand too, isthat if you've ever seen a fire
from a lithium battery.
It's crazy, isn't it, sean?
Speaker 1 (47:58):
Yeah, they're lethal man.
I mean those little batteries.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
They heat up and they get hot and the smoking is one
thing, but as soon as they catchfire, man, those things are
nasty and you're not talkingabout, like the, the fumes from
it crazy.
Yeah, it is crazy.
Hey, this one was.
This one was really funny,though.
I'd seen this video.
A gate agent was dealing with apassenger and this other
passenger was videoing her frombehind.
This woman was up there.
(48:23):
She was.
She was online shopping as thiswoman.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
She did she was amazon in it right in front of
her, like really not payingattention to whatever this
person was doing not, kind ofnot even just scrolling looking
at shoes.
Yeah, do you realize it'samazon week, is amazon times
right now?
Speaker 2 (48:42):
yeah, got free, I've got not.
I'm sorry, man, what was that?
No, no, no, I've got freedelivery.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
Yeah, exactly, I got some free delivery.
I got Prime.
I got Prime, it's Prime daysright now.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
Exactly, I'm going to get these shoes, these Qs are
so cute.
Anyway, what was that?
Again, destination is notavailable, your luggage wouldn't
go where Exactly and then, ohmy God, look at those shoes
Right, these are so cute.
Don't you think these are cute?
But this was actually.
This is crazy.
These people, they got phones,man, and you're over there
(49:14):
freaking shopping at work.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
Unbelievable.
It's so unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Okay, how about this one?
The passenger attacks anotherflight attendant right.
And the best part of this, thebest part of this, is when he
attacks this person, he says youpuny mortal man.
Who's that remind you?
Speaker 1 (49:32):
of yeah, he's like a superhero or something like that
.
Who's that?
Speaker 2 (49:37):
remind you of I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
Yeah, loki from.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Incredible Hulk.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
And Hulk grabbed him.
He was like Hulk smash Bam bambam.
Yeah, and Hulk grabbed him.
He was like Hulk smash Bam bambam.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
You puny mortal.
You could have came up withanything, right.
Right, you puny mortal man.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
People are way too into their Netflix.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Now here's the one I don't understand.
If you were in a window seat,okay, if you're in a window seat
and a parent wanted their kidto have that window seat and
you're there and they said wouldyou mind moving and taking this
seat, because my son or mydaughter really wants a window
seat.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
Yeah, I'm cool with it, as long as I'm going to like
an aisle.
I'm not moving to a middle seat.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, I'm cool with it, as long as I'm going to like
an aisle, okay, but I'm notmoving to middle seat, okay, but
what if it's a middle seat?
Speaker 1 (50:28):
yeah, middle seat that look that little kid's not
looking out the window.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
That's how that works it amazes me that people shame
people for taking a gift forgetting their seats.
That's bullshit yeah listen,your kid has to learn.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
No, you're not getting a little johnny yeah,
that's one word that a lot ofpeople out in the world don't
understand.
No, tell their kids no, no, no,you can't do that no, you can't
do it.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
You know why?
Because that big man over theresitting over there again and
he'll open the.
Speaker 1 (50:55):
He'll open that, that window for you so you can kind
of look over the side of it yeah, he'll be like yeah, you puny
mortal human, get away from me,sip your, sip your ass, and then
I'll see you and shut up, quitcrying.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
All right, you're killing me, man.
90 degrees outside, no APU.
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
That means you don't board the damn plane.
Speaker 2 (51:17):
That's what that means.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
That means that your ass is sweating.
Yeah, dude, the comfort levelon a plane like and everybody
complains about the planetemperature Like it can be too
cold, it can be too hot, it canbe like there's only you know
that little window of likeeverybody's going to be happy
type of temperature.
But I mean, if you have no APU,which is the auxiliary power
(51:40):
unit of the plane that runs yourair conditioning system and all
that good stuff, dude, and it's90 degrees outside in the, in
the plane it's hot as hell.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
What do you travel with?
Speaker 1 (51:53):
what do a fan, a fan?
I I have my own fan, and I'mnot talking about one of these
little handheld, little puny ohhell, no, puny mortal things
that people use like fanthemselves out.
I got one that mine's like 12inches wide, man, it is a big,
huge, it's a clip-on fan.
It goes in.
(52:13):
That shit was so hot.
Speaker 2 (52:15):
When me and sean was boarding one day, I'm telling
you, we were at the front of theairplane and I'm not kidding
you, it was so damn hot at thefront of the plane.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
Me and Sean put that fan up and we put this dry ice
in front of it so it would blowcool air, making our own cool
air, hanging dry ice behind it,just so that we can get some
type of coolness going.
Speaker 2 (52:36):
We had that fan blowing across that dry ice and
blowing cool air to us.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
So many.
We need to sell these thingsbecause so many flight
attendants have bought that fansince I've seen it and and it's
not a fan that you like, like,uh, if you google fans on the
like clip-on fans you're gonnaget these little like puny
mortal ones.
Speaker 2 (52:53):
But um, you're you're going, I like it, I'm gonna use
it too.
Speaker 1 (52:58):
In fact, next time somebody pisses me, I'm gonna
plane, I'm gonna be like youpuny mortal, stop your bitching
do not board the freaking planesif you don't have an apu.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
Yeah, you're gonna have passengers pissed and
passed out.
Yeah, yeah, not a goodcombination.
Speaker 1 (53:13):
All you, all you flight attendants out there,
like buy a fan with you, likeyou should have that with you.
It'd be bad.
I don't care what size it is.
These planes get hot.
You know we're getting.
It gets too crazy man.
Speaker 2 (53:23):
This last one, absolutely freaking, killed me.
What's that?
All right?
So they drug this passenger offthe aircraft because he wanted
to sit in the emergency exit row, and they told him no.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
Yeah, this isn't old school things like.
Just because it's empty doesn'tmean you can sit there.
Speaker 2 (53:42):
But it's funny part they're dragging his ass off and
the whole video.
I mean we see this all the timewhen they do something stupid
and they drag him off.
But here's this guy, you'regetting drug off the airplane
and the video is shooting andyou see kind of like a side view
and I'm like, okay, you'rewatching this guy get drug off
the funniest part as they'redragging him by Sean.
(54:03):
You see this big.
Okay, he's getting drugged byhis alarms, he's getting drugged
out of there.
And you see this big GarfieldT-shirt on.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
I'm thinking first of all all right, you're a guy.
Is this a kid or is this a man?
No, it's a man.
He's got a Garfield T-shirt on.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
So you're getting drug off the aircraft and all
these people are looking at you.
Not only is your Garfieldt-shirt on, but your shorts have
written up your nuts so farthat they're splitting you in
half.
And I'm thinking now this thinghas went completely viral.
Speaker 1 (54:36):
video right and there it is, You've got this Garfield
First of all, I thought theyalready learned not to drag
people off of aircraft.
No, they, I mean they don't dragpeople off aircraft, it's
easier, like.
The solution to me is alwayslike this like if it's gonna
happen to me and I gotta takesomebody off, like every
motherfucker on that plane isgetting off, I'm taking
(54:57):
everybody off.
Let's see them and the guysitting here and he'd be like
I'm not getting off, and onceeverybody's off and all those
cameras are gone, it's on now,see you just, we would have
never gotten garfield garfieldvideo man he'd have more than
like he'd have a additional likeuh, he'd have new bruises on
(55:19):
him and you know, the funnything about it is around the
globe this week this is justpart of it.
Speaker 2 (55:25):
Around the globe was crazy.
I mean, it was absolutely crazy.
There were so many.
There was so many arguments andfights on on the planes this
week.
It was crazy.
Yeah, these people just justbeating the shit out of each
other on an airplane yeah, thisis.
Speaker 1 (55:39):
This is I'm glad.
Uh, first of all, we don't getit like the.
The percentage of this reallyhappening is probably pretty
small, but just it shouldn't behappening in the first place
period.
Speaker 2 (55:51):
It should be zero.
Yeah, but they have a bunch ofvideos making it funny.
Speaker 1 (55:54):
Yeah, crazy.
Anyways, man, what's the quotetoday?
Man, let's wrap this up.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
The best and the most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with theheart.
Speaker 1 (56:10):
Boom, Exactly man.
Speaker 2 (56:13):
And that goes back to all those, those people in
Texas, uh man, all the peoplethat are helping big hearts, all

Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's Shawnee time.
What's going on?
Oh man, you know it's the samestuff.
I'm back at work doing crazy,uh, flying, and I know that's
nothing to you, but it's verytraumatic for me.
What kind of crazy fine, areyou crazy flying?
You know I've been doing thesela turns and you know what our
(01:15):
market it's like.
I love my midwest people, right, don't you like your midwest
people?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I already know where this is going, but it's gonna be
fun, I know, I know you know me, you know me in, you know me
and the West.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Coast.
And then we get out to bad shit, crazy LA and we load up the
plane.
Dude, it was like I am likeevery day, every week is a freak
show man.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
So you go from normal to not so normal.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and it's the contrast.
I, I mean people need to seeour view of like the world and
like the markets we like fly to,because it is so crazy how
different they are.
Like so much drama getting on aplane in la cleveland man, they
just come on, they sit, theychill they, they entertain
themselves.
You know they want a beverageand to get something to eat,
(02:03):
whatever normal normal shitthat's why I said normal to not
normal.
Yesterday that call light wentoff, like if it went off once.
It went off 50 times.
It was like constant.
Like you know that flight islike ding yeah, ding, ding, yeah
.
And then like we're having aconversation, yeah, ding, like
come on, stop, stop.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Already you know it's like, uh, it's, it's, it's so
annoying it's funny, when youleave cleveland they'll get on
board and you see blue jeans,some t-shirts, you know I mean
right, pretty normal rightsweatshirts and it.
You get la how you?
You have no idea what's comingon your plate.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You have no idea.
And and this is welcome to thefreak show yeah, it's.
It's this like need of like, um, there's so fucking needy, it's
just like and then, and then,how I'm important.
Yeah, I'm in part of it.
Everybody's entitled towhatever they want to do,
whatever.
But yeah, that's been happeningand we never talked about this.
(03:04):
Is that?
One aspect of this businessthat happens to us constantly is
swapping.
Swapping what?
What do you have equipment?
Oh yeah, dude.
We've never really talked aboutthis, but this is one of the
big sucks in our life and thatis we're going and doing this
turn.
We're just thinking, oh, we'regoing to get to work, we're
(03:25):
going to fly here, fly back, andyou know this.
These are the delays of oursystem.
With that, we do not get paid.
I don't think in the no, flightattendants in the united states
are getting paid for sittingaround not just that, though.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
People really don't.
They don't understand how itworks.
Uh, in the airlines, it's likea game of chess, right, I mean
you.
At times, you'll, you'll playthe game.
You'll all be together most ofthe time as soon as you land,
right, are you not with thepilots?
You're not with the planes?
You're not.
You're moving all over theplace.
Some days, you're a king andqueen, right, when you move.
(03:58):
Most days, you're a freakingpawn, yeah, but you don't.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And the whole point is you don't know what you're
going to get when you get there.
So, like in flight, they'relike they're changing and
swapping equipment, the aircrafton us.
So we think that we're going tobe flying this plane out to LA
and then flying it back toCleveland and we get there, and
every week for the last twoweeks now they keep swapping our
planes out, so we take a delay,so they give our plane to
(04:24):
somebody else, which makes them,I guess, on time, and then we
get to sit around and they keepdoing it to us yeah, but what
the bet?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
the better part of that, though, sean, is when they
take like you're, you'resupposed to have like a 900, and
there's there's 20 seats infirst class, yeah, and then they
downgrade it we've been gettingit.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
We've been like a 700 yeah, we've been.
They have not been doingdowngrades, which is fantastic.
We've been equal.
But you've done it beforethough, oh yeah, when you talk
about swapping.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Yeah, I mean really the story is, when you talk
about swapping aircraft, whenyou go from a 900 to a 700, then
you deal with those LA peopleinsane, so that people are not
getting on a plane people arenot, you know.
And then they're coming onsuper unhappy, right, they're
pissed, yeah, they're like superunhappy, entitled, pissed, yeah
(05:11):
, pissed yeah, so, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
So we've been.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
I've been dealing with that man every week and
this, the swapping, is just soannoying and unbelievable but
then you know, one of the goeswith that too is when they swap
aircrafts, it's like they wantyou to board right away.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
You don't even have pilots yet yeah, the the line
that's going on in the industrywith like, oh, the plane's
coming in here at uh x 30minutes, whatever right, and
we're gonna board like in thirdon no problem, just go ahead and
board them up.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, but the pilots aren't here yet.
Oh, that's okay.
Operations says go ahead andboard.
You can board.
Yeah, you can board.
Okay, but it's hot on the plane.
Well, it's not that bad.
So you guys go ahead and board.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Yeah, yeah, but never mind that we have to clean it
and cater it and unload all theother luggage and get the other
luggage back on it and all thatcrap that goes with it.
But you know what?
Let's start boarding twominutes after they got off.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, and then let's just line their ass in that hot,
hot ass jet way.
That's not air conditioning,yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
That's, it's just so.
So this is just like some ofthe aches and woes of our
industry and stuff, but that'sbeen going on and it's been
driving me nuts and I'm like youknow me.
That's why I fly so little.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
You're going to love my part of the catch-up on the
swapping part, but go ahead,keep going, because you're going
to love my part of whathappened this week, right?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So, anyways, now my decompress is me coming home and
I get to golf and golf's beengoing pretty good.
I've been having you know theups and downs of golf and
everything, but uh, you're nothaving any houses, no houses.
Everything's been other thanlike.
It was funny.
Like Tuesday I went out and Iplayed golf and I hit like four
(06:59):
or five balls out of bounds.
And then today I go out playingthe same damn course not ball
is out of bounds.
And then today I go out playingthe same damn course not a ball
out of bounds, not a you know,like the.
There's like literally almost a15 stroke difference between my
score.
It's so crazy, but that's golf.
But uh, I got a big tournamentcoming up this weekend so I had
to like tune it up and get readyfor this tournament and uh, I'm
(07:21):
looking forward to it.
So there'll be stories fromthat, I'm sure, because to it.
So there'll be stories fromthat, I'm sure, because there's
always some shit that these guysdo at the tournament.
That is funny.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Now you've been playing a long time.
Yeah, now with golf, they saythat that one small thing that
you do like the difference is,say you're in your swing, so you
have this consistent swing.
All of a sudden, say you turnthe head a certain way.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Yeah, just one little difference swing all of a
sudden say you turn the head acertain way, yeah, and then, and
then that ball's gone.
Yeah, just a slight littledifference in whatever you're
doing will change everything.
I mean, it's it, golf is a veryuh, it's a very technical sport
.
So, like you, gotta everythingyou do, I don't care what you're
putting, swimming, you know,driving, hitting your irons, it
(08:03):
doesn't matter.
Everything is like so precise,so you got to get it right every
time.
If you don't, it's going toshow you that you didn't do it
right.
So you're playing a tournamentthis weekend yeah, this internet
, and it's a big moneytournament for me.
So, um, every year we did, meand my buddy, that, uh, we, I
golf with his partner and we do,we do pretty decent, decent.
(08:23):
So we're looking forward to it.
She'd be good a weekend.

dude on my round got a hole inone.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Really.
Yeah, I'm going to blow yourphone up because my ass is
working.
I was just sitting therethinking about that.
I'm blowing your phone up.
No, it's bullshit.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
He'll be in mute during the rounds, but you can
catch me drunk after the rounds.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Tell me how much money you won, right.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Right, tell you how much I won that day and what
we're looking forward for thenext day and all good stuff.
You know, what you should do,though this is what would be
super cool is for you to comeover and actually experience one
of the shootouts.
So like, like so, on Saturdaywe were going to play Saturday,
we're going to Sunday, and thenSunday after Sunday was round
(09:25):
Like normally, I'd say aroundfive o'clock or something like
that they, we have a shootoutand the shootout's fun because
it's a crazy shit show likeeverybody gets their carts and
we go from hole to hole and it'skind of like going to a golf
tournament and you would like it, it's have you been drinking
the whole?
time.
Um, some people are drunk, somepeople are very drunk by that
time if you've been like ifthey've like been golfing and
they had a really bad day andthey they're like they showed up
(09:45):
to shoot out like shit pace.
Normally I'm not because Idon't drink and golf like that's
not my thing.
If I'm doing a tournament, Ican't do that.
I don't have that ability.
Some guys get better shootinggolf like drunk, but I can't do
that.
But, uh, you should show up.
I mean, it's sunday, I don'tknow what you're doing.
I'm working, sean.
You're not working.
(10:06):
You're probably doing a turn.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
No bullshit, you'll be back home, I'm actually
working.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
You're gone.
You're like doing a layover.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
No, you know something?
I actually traded one of mytrips for tomorrow too.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Imagine that yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Anyways, what's been going on with you?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
Oh my God.
So you know you guys can relateto this.
Have you ever started your dayand your day is great?
You just wake up and you'relike everything's going good.
You get to work and then boardthe aircraft Everything's going
great.
We're sitting there and boardedup.
We went on time.
All we were doing is a littlefour turn.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Just a little Florida turn Down to Florida and back.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Right Done by like 1 o'clock.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
That's it.
Yeah, and they swapped myequipment.
Yeah, this is the same feelingI'm going when I go to my
freaking doing the LA turn.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
This is what people really don't understand about
our glamour.
I love that.
When people say, oh, yourlife's so glamorous, I'm like
that's bullshit, there ain'tnothing glamorous.
There's nothing glamorous aboutthis job.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, like a handful throw up or nothing glamorous
about it.
People shitting on the carpet.
We take off on time.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We took off on time.
We're at cruise altitude andwe're going down there and the
next thing in the year we're inthe middle of our service here
at Ding and Gary comes to theback.
So I come to the back and I'mlistening to this sound.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
It's one of those sounds Airplanes make certain
sounds right, we all know them,dude we know the plane like it's
our car or our house, right,like any little wrong sound, we
know.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
We're just tuned in we could be doing all kinds of
shit and all of a sudden youhear something that you know
that's not an airplane soundnormal and all of a sudden,
you'll just sit there.
It's like that um, thosegophers, right like when they
whistle, they just look up thewhole crew's, like looking at
each other going oh shit, thatthat wasn't normal yeah, if
you're on a plane and all thecrew starts like looking at them
(12:05):
, each other like an oh shit.
Yeah, that shit wasn't normal,but anyway, we had one of those
oh shit, that wasn't normallooks.
But so I went to the back, waslistening to the sound and then
get a hold of the cockpit andthat's the one thing we talk
about all the time is crewcommunication?
Right, we have really good crewcommunication when we hear
(12:27):
sounds on an airplane that isnot supposed to sound like that.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
And also there's like um crew currency on that too,
you know, and what I'm talkingabout is like the difference
between us telling the pilotslike oh, we just heard something
that's doesn't sound right,Right, and you got a new hire
like oh, we just heard somethingthat doesn't sound right, Right
, and you got a new hire like oh, I heard something that doesn't
(12:52):
sound right to me, thecredibility level just doesn't
equal.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Okay, this is where this is going today.
Is the credibility part of that?
So we call the cockpit andthey're like we can't feel
anything.
But they're like Gary, what doyou think it is?
And I, and I was telling them,I was like this is what it was.
And and so, when, when, uh, wewere going, everything was fine.
So they, they said we're justgoing to get it checked out.
When we got down to Orlando.
(13:14):
So we got down to Orlando and,um, they, they did their whole
check.
So this takes a long time.
I mean, when they do a servicecheck like that, it takes a long
time because they're checking alot of things out, because when
you're talking about soundsthat are not right and this is a
senior crew- that's thedifference.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Did you say where you're going, like what city?
Did you fly?
To Orlando?
You went to Orlando, yeah, okay, and then so this happened
coming into Orlando.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Going in about mid, I mean probably about not even
halfway there.
I mean you could hear the sound.
I mean it was pretty consistent.
But anyway, we got down thereand so they checked everything
out.
I mean they checked out thewings, the tail, they got up on
the lift, they got everywhere totry to see if there was a
problem and rightfully so,because it's safety of flight.
(14:03):
Well, they came back back andthe report was to the cockpit.
They couldn't find anything.
So if you can't find anythingand there's still a sound,
something still isn't right.
Right, so they go ahead andmake the decision.
They look at this other.
It's like a cover underneaththe side of the plane.
(14:23):
So when they went down there,they checked it out and they
seen that one of them was alittle bit loose.
So they just took it, theyreplaced it, put a new one in
and then they did the reports.
But by that time, shit, we werealready like an hour and a half
, almost two hours, late.
That's how long some of thesechecks take for the maintenance
guys.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
So they turn around and said okay, you're cleared to
go.
So we take off and I'm thinking, finally, right, we're going to
be a few hours late, but hell,it's not that bad, let's get
going, let's go home.
So, yeah, we get at cruisealtitude and I'm thinking, okay,
no dings, right, Because whenwe hear a ding, then we know
that the shit's going to go badagain.
Sure, so next thing, you know,I'm getting up, getting in the
(15:06):
galley and I'm thinking, okay,we're good.
I told the other flightattendant, I said we're good, we
didn't hear anything out ding,they're like gary, come to the
back.
I'm like shit.
So I go to the back.
I heard the same same sound.
This is the the part that itstarts really going to shit.
So, make a phone call.
Now it becomes that thing.
(15:27):
What you're just saying it'syou have this senior crew and
they're telling you the sameproblem happens.
So a decision's got to be made,right, all right.
So a decision is made is alwayssafety of flight.
So what we did is that weturned around and we had to go
back to Orlando.
No, excuse me, we had to goactually back to.
(15:50):
I started this thing.
We went to Orlando, right, yeah, no, we were going.
I'm sorry, we were going toFort Myers.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Our first part.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
No, we were going, I'm sorry we were going to fort
myers, our first part.
We were going to fort myers.
Oh, okay, so you flew down tofort myers, this mechanical
happened going down to fortmyers, down to fort myers yeah,
they were dealing with it, andthen we had to divert to orlando
.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
It kind of screwed that up, didn't I?
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
so we had a little bit, but I was trying to set you
up no, I screwed it up myself,right?
That's how crazy that day Iknew that but uh keep going so
you just let me go with it, letyou go with it, keep going but
anyway, so we we'd, we had to,had to divert to orlando.
We landed in orlando and uh,and we went and we, we taxied
(16:34):
over into the other terminal, wepulled up and we and they had
told us they had anotherairplane.
That's freaking amazing, right.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Yeah, the cool thing about Orlando, too, is this is
that, like for our airline,there's a big, huge maintenance
facility there, and anotherthing about there is that they
do like big checks and stuffthere, so they have the aircraft
that you can swap out to andall that stuff.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
But that was a problem though.
That is, you're exactly right,but usually they're right in the
middle of those big checks onthose planes, so there's usually
not another extra plane.
But there was today.
So it actually ended up workingout pretty good, because we
they say that there's anotherplane, so we had to walk from
this aircraft, go going to theother side of the concourse.
So we're deploying the aircraftand we're telling people you
(17:21):
know, yeah, we're going over tothis other plane and there's
that one guy that comes off andhe goes.
You did this on purpose, swearto God, he goes.
You did this on purpose.
I said did what on purpose?
He goes.
You took off and then then youturned around and you landed in
(17:42):
Orlando on purpose, because youneeded the plane in Orlando.
And I looked at him.
I said so you're telling me.
We took off, we flew up toalmost the panhandle and then we
turned our asses around andwent back to Orlando because we
needed the plane.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
We had planned to do this.
This is a conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Swear to God, you can't make this up.
I mean it's ridiculous, butanyway, he makes all of his dumb
comments, gets off the plane,so we deplane, go to the other
side of the airport.
Sean, when have you ever seenthey had a plane already pulling
up?
Never, you've never seen it,right, no?
So then they pull it up.
You've never seen it, right, no?
So then they pull it up.
Now you have to go throughsecurity checks, you have to go
(18:17):
through the sweeps because thatplane's been in the hangar.
They've got to go through allthis shit just to get this plane
back in.
So then what do they do?
This is the crap that justkeeps rolling down, rolling down
.
Then they bring in all of theold catering.
We've already heated the mealsup.
Meals aren't any good.
Oh jeez the ice or bags of water.
You got all this shit you gotto deal with.
(18:37):
So then you got a hot airplane.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah.
See people don't understand allthis stuff that goes on, all
the logistics that go intoprepping an aircraft for a
flight.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Just a board, yeah, so you're trying to get somebody
to cool the aircraft off.
You're getting the cateringcome back on and and they're
just throwing all that shit backon there and they want you to
serve that that nasty cookedshit that's been like six, six
hours old, to these passengers.
I'm like I'm not doing that.
So then we got to get ice, wegot to get catering, we got to
(19:08):
do all this stuff.
We start boarding back up, okay, and then, and, and then we're
thinking, okay, we're here, wego right, right, right
Legalities.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Oh no, yeah, I knew that was getting ready to come,
because this was going on for awhile.
Yeah, legalities, legalitiesalways creep into the picture,
and then now everybody startsreally scrambling.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
And this is what passengers don't know.
In our cockpit, what they didis for these people to act
because they're going to getstuck.
They were done right.
So our cockpit, they extendedtheir legalities to fly.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
If you want to get stuck someplace, orlando's the
place to get stuck at, though itis Because there's lots of
hotels there, there's lots ofall this stuff to accommodate
the passengers, and stuffopposed to Greensboro.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Who in the hell wants to get stuck though, after
you've already boarded a planeright there?
Ain't no way in hell, nobody.
So.
But anyway, they extended.
Um, we, we got back intoCleveland and it was one hell of
a day, I'm telling you.
It was like 15 hours.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
We're supposed to get in at one o'clock and it was
like a 15 hour Fort Myers turn.
You're like a 15 hour fortmyers turn.
You're supposed to turn into 15hour, 15 hour, 15 hour for
myers turn, yikes yeah this is.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
That's a big suck dude.
You think, yeah, there's therewas.
Did you notice there was youraircraft swapping yeah in in
that that is, that is the um,the glamorous part of our job.
There's no glamour, there's noglamour, I don't know, you know
every time somebody says thatthere's no damn glam.
People believe there's noglamour nope, these are like.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
It's like rainbows shooting out of unicorns ass.
Here we are having fun rainbows.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
That's right, that's a good one anyhow.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
So, yeah, man, so uh, you know, the world has been
going crazy with two since, uh,last time we talked, I mean this
flash flood that just happenedin texas, that was crazy.
Wow, that was crazy.
Wow, you know, when I startedhearing all the stories about it
and at first it was like, youknow, oh, there's flash floods,
and you know, and they weren'treally making a big deal out of
(21:16):
it, everything and.
And then then you startedhearing about, like this, like
the death toll going up and allthis stuff and these
catastrophic losses, and you'relike, wait a minute, wait a
minute, there's, this is a major, major event that's happened.
That just kind of like justeased into the news, you know it
was.
It was kind of of it's kind ofweird to me like the whole thing
(21:37):
.
It wasn't like like a hurricane, you know, here comes hurricane
etna, you know, and she's gonnawipe out the whole eastern
coast, or you know shit likethat.
This was just like something'shappening, this flooding over
here, like we hear in here inohio, like we get flooding all
the time, right, but we don'thear about like massive
catastrophes like this.
But it was all all the timeRight, but we don't hear about
(21:58):
like massive catastrophes likethis, but it was all about the
time it hit, like in the middleof the night this all happened.
Had no idea it was coming.
Yeah, just like hit thesepeople like nothing.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
I mean the stories I've heard and like the heroism
that was happening and it waslike wow, I think some of the
most gut-wrenching things iswhen you hear these people talk
about these kids that werebasically screaming and they
couldn't help them.
Yeah, they couldn't help them.
I mean it was just.
I mean it's incredibly sad.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
The power of nature is unbelievable when you see it
up personal.
When you see it up personal, Imean to have a body of water
coming through and moving at thepace it was moving and washing
away buildings in the camp andall that stuff and not being
able to get to them and stuff isjust it's tragic, but you know
(22:49):
something I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I think that most people don't really understand
how you know, with flash floods,how, how that really works, and
and and and how, with flashfloods, how that really works.
And it was amazing that theyhad actually videos of people
during the day, though, sean, Imean, this wasn't just at night,
it was continuing on throughthe day.
And it's amazing to me thatwhen you're standing there,
(23:11):
you've got your kids there andyou see, and you're like, oh,
the water's supposed to becoming, the water's supposed to
be coming, their water'ssupposed to be coming.
And they're looking down thisvalley and they see the water
start coming and they realizehow bad it is right, and then
they all start running.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Yeah, the force of nature, I mean, it's kind of
like that.
Uh, tsunamis that happened overin, you know, in asia, and all
that stuff that you're like, youknow, when you see this wall of
water coming at you and stufflike that and flash floods
normally isn't like a water, awall of water, it's just a a
gradual, quick rise of the water, you know.
(23:49):
So you're not, they're notseeing like a dam breaking and
like it's coming down andwashing it right type of thing.
It's just like all of a suddenwater comes and it starts
getting higher and higher andhigher and higher until wow,
well, it's coming down toWashington, that type of thing.
It's just like all of a suddenwater comes and it starts
getting higher and higher andhigher until wow.
It's already on you, it's up tothe second floor of a house.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Right, but they were showing videos of the daytime of
these people actually runningout of the way.
Now you can understand howthese kids in this camp didn't
get out, because it was in themiddle of the night, wow, okay.
But these people, you knew itwas coming.
I mean, you actually knew itwas coming and you were, and you
even put your kids in harmharms away.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, yeah, later in the later in the, the whole what
was happening as it was goingon.
I mean people, just you reactto what you see and what you
know and what you think you, youknow how you, how you feel,
wherever you feel you're gonnabe safe at, um, but I feel
wherever you feel you're goingto be safe at, but I feel for
all these people that are likethat were had at that camp
mystic, I mean, to send your kidaway from camp and then not to
(24:49):
be in, like most of theirparents weren't there.
There was no parents there forthose camp campers.
You know they were only thepeople that worked at the camp
and, like, the owner of the campdied.
Right, you know, trying torescue people.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
But you know what's amazing?
There's a couple other things.
That was amazing with that,though, too, is that it's
amazing that the response of thejust the community, I mean the
state, not just I'm not evensaying our government yet just
the state of Texas it was crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
The highway was just flooded with trucks already
going there, sure packed up yeah, I mean, that is what america
is all about, right, you know, Imean that but that just warms
on that that warms my heartabout, like the people that like
are doing this stuff for free,like they're not in it for
anything other than to justassist people, and and that's
(25:38):
how more of america should belike you know so many other ways
.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
When they showed, when they showed a lot of these
videos and and there's atremendous amount of videos of
of young men, right, younger men, right, middle-aged men that
were down in these, uh, thismarsh area, cutting all this
stuff up right, right, so manyof them fatigues, army, yeah all
all all you know they, they'reprobably some some branch you're
(26:06):
in texas.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
First of all, I know, I know, but it's it's.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It's amazing, though, when you're watching this and
and, and you see the response,say whatever you want to say
about Texas or anything, but letme tell you something, man.
They went down and all they didwas started going to work.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
That was it Started helping people.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I mean it was amazing .
But then you had these otherpeople because of whatever the
camp was a Christian camp orwhatever.
It is saying these idiotic,stupid things.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah Well, there's always going to be stupid
comments about it Things.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
It just, I mean, it just amazes me when you see this
amazing things and then you seethese stupid people saying dumb
things about about this tragicthing that happened.
But the better.
The better part of that waswatching these people come to
help these other people.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
That was amazing.
You know what I think?
It was that guy that was onyour plane.
He came up and he said you guysplanned this.
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Yeah, exactly, you did it on purpose, right.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
You did this on purpose, right.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Yeah, you flooded this whole thing, idiots.
But hey, listen, you knowsomething.
Let's go on to this one.
This one is pretty funny.
What happens when a good deedgoes bad?
Sean, good deed goes bad.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
A good deed.
It's bad.
Yeah, it goes bad.
You want my answer?
It goes bad.
Oh, this shit went bad for him.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
So you had this flight attendant.
Now what he was doing he wasvolunteering, he was
transporting dogs fromMexicoxico into the united
states like doing, like rescue,or were they it?
Was like a side hustle.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
So the side hustle was, but like.
So there's so many aspects tothat and what you just said.
So was he doing like was thishe was making money doing this.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Like then people were purchasing dogs yeah, yeah, he
was working as an internationalshipper, oh gotcha.
Or a pet transportation company?
Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Okay, I get you.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
So he had done this without any problems for years.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Yeah, Going back and forth, driving back and forth,
doing it side hustle.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
He probably used to fly back and forth to Mexico.
Seen all these dogs and thought, you know, this would be a good
deed.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
I mean, there's how many animal all the animal
lovers out there, like I knowmany of our friends that are
animal lovers and they volunteerat the, you know SPCA and you
know rescue places and stufflike that.
I mean, I get it.
Yeah, he's doing something heloves to do.
He's doing it with animals.
Would you do that though?
Speaker 2 (28:43):
First of all, I need to be golfing.
You know something?
We got a lot of dogs in theUnited States.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
I don't know if I can go down to Mexico and just
bring them back.
Yeah, there's a lot of dogs weneed to rescue in here in the
United States itself.
But I mean that's one of thereasons why I asked you what was
the situation.
But I mean that's one of thereasons why I asked you like
what was the situation Like whyare you doing this?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
What's this rescue?
How do they call it?
A side hustle?
Well, he was making money.
It's only a hustle.
If you're making money, right,exactly, you're making some kind
of income from it, sure, okay.
Well, now the good deeds aregoing to go a little bit bad.
So he was going down there.
He got a couple other people tocome pick up some other dogs.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
And he went down there and they kept changing the
location on him.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Where to pick up the dog.
Yeah, okay, dogs Dogs, pluralGotcha.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
So he went down there and when he finally got to the
final location and he pulled hiscar up, it wasn't dogs, what
was it, it was illegalimmigrants, oh man.
So here here, this guy.
He's in a situation now allright, and it's not normal
people that he's sitting therewith.
This is a cartel.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
so that that's a comfortable feeling shit's going
bad.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Right thought our day was going bad, his day just got
a lot worse, his equipment gotswapped yeah, it's not good.
So they, they told him.
They, they said that you'rebasically transporting these
illegal immigrants across thethe um border yeah, what would
you do?
Speaker 1 (30:12):
what do you think you would do like be in face of
that?
Let me I I'm thinking thatthese people that are meeting
him also has guns, like it's notjust like you know, jose and
Pablo saying no, you gotta take,you gotta take these three guys
over there, you know, and uhwell, it does remind me of
Honduras, with you Right, andthat would go to hanging from a
(30:33):
bridge, you know, with somethingbeing cut off your body.
But no yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
No, what I would think would be first of all,
you'd be shitting your pants,okay, because they're basically
telling you if you don't do it,they're going to kill you, right
, Okay, so you know that they'regoing to follow you.
Sure, all right.
So decision time.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Well, you just keep doing it, you know?
Here's the thing, like I don'tknow what I would do in a
situation, because I'm going totell you what I would do, but I
want to know what you do first.
Well, I mean, I'm telling youright now that I don't know what
I would do, given the situation, because I need to know.
There's a lot of variablesthere, like do they have weapons
(31:17):
?
If they don't have weapons, I'mnot sure.
But if they did have weapons,then maybe they would get in my
car and I would take them across.
But here's the thing Whetheryou take them across or not,
take them across.
Once you get onto the otherside or you get into that other
side, are you going to take themto their destination?
Are you going to take them tothe local authorities?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
You know, I thought you put up like an Uber sign.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
No, change my Uber.
Sign here now.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Like a Mexican transport service, transport.
No, you know something?
I think that what I would do isokay, they're, they're
following me, they're followingme, they're following me.
And then about, I'd say about,in the view of um, the border, I
would pull over and go, hey,listen, you know, you guys get
out, stretch your legs before itdoesn't be a little bit of time
before we get there, and gostretch their legs and then
(32:10):
close the damn doors.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
But I think they're going to follow you all the way.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
I don't give a shit.
At that point At least I'm inview of the customs agents.
I mean, at least you got a shot.
But I don't think I'd do it.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
But here's the thing.
I'm right back at you.
You're talking about cartel.
I know that, and they're goingto do whatever the F they want
to do.
I understand that Even at theborder in front of us, right
Like you do that and they'll belike get out, and they just
shoot you.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
Okay, so this is what's going to happen to you.
So, anyway, he goes across andhe gets caught.
Right, so he gets caught andhe's transporting illegal
immigrants.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Right.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
So he's fired from his job, the airline job.
He's a flight attendant.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Well, and the reason why he gets fired is why.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
Well, because of the TSA, Well it's a federal offense
right We've gone over that abunch of times.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
No, no no, no, no.
I'm trying to make sure thatthe audience here understands
why he gets fired Because, as aflight attendant, you cannot
have a federal charge chargedagainst you.
You can't be committed a felonyand be a flight attendant, and
so that's.
That's the point is why he'sgetting charged.
He's not getting.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
He's not getting fired because he's an uber
driver out of mexico it doesn'tmatter what he's doing.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
I don't care what he was doing, it's because he
committed a felony and and youcan't be a felon being a flight
attendant.
But keep going to the story.
I just want to point likethat's the reason why he got
fired.
It's not because of what he wasdoing or any like.
There's all different types offelonies out there and so the
point is he became a felon.
He can't be a flight attendant,he gets fired, he's criminal
(33:56):
now.
Sean Right Cool, where's that?
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Keep going with your story.
This dog transportation person,who is now a convicted felon,
sean, is no longer employed atthe airlines.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Right.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
So he's now got to go through this whole process.
He's now got to go through thiswhole process and he convinced
them that he actually it waswhat he was.
He was actually, he was forcedto by the cartel Right.
So they cleared him of allthose charges.
Yeah, Cool.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
So then he wasn't a felon.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Nope, right, he's not , he's still.
He's still a felon.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
How's he still a felon?
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Well, he's cleared him all the charges he's well,
how, how's he still, how's henot employed?
Speaker 1 (34:43):
well, that's a contention that he has to do
with his airline.
Whatever you know, what I'msaying is that that was my whole
point.
Like he can be fired becausehe's a committed, a felony, you
can't just the act.
I don't care what the act was.
They're gonna be transferringpeople whatever, whatever type
of felony committed.
But once he's cleared of thatfelon he can be a flight
(35:04):
attendant.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Okay.
So why was this guy?
Why was this guy is still fired?
Was it TSA?
Was it the reason of TSA?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Cause he's not going to be able to clear it because
there's there was charges fromtsa, right, but the tsa had like
flagged him and all that stuffright, so then he can do his job
right.
So like he, if he was doinglike international flights,
stuff like that, he can be or hecan maybe get into the airport.
I don't know what the, I don'tknow what the flag level is
right, still didn't have his job.
(35:31):
Yeah, yeah, that's crazy thoughbut then, yeah, I mean that's a
bad situation.
But if he's not a felon, it'skind of like you're, you know,
proven, proven, you're supposedto be proven guilty, you know
you're not, you're innocentuntil proven guilty, type of
thing.
That's how it's supposed to be.
But he's like guilty beforehe's proven innocent, right so
(35:52):
he's not convicted of being afelon right.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
so he's no longer has a felony rap sheet, so why
wouldn't he get his job back?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Paperwork Red tape.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Would you have done that, though he's got the
scarlet letter.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Would you have done it?
Speaker 2 (36:08):
though.
Would you have done that?
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Dude, again I'm right back at you.
I don't know all the variablesof the situation.
Would I or wouldn't have doneit?
Speaker 2 (36:16):
You.
I don't know all the variablesof the situation.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
Would I or wouldn't have done it.
You'd have been golfing.
I guarantee you, what I wouldhave been doing is I wouldn't
have been transporting anyanimals, period, first of all.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
You'd have been golfing, I'd have been golfing
yeah, for sure.
Yeah, that is crazy.
I mean, when I read that storyI was like so the cartel?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
was coming at me and was like we got some golf balls
that are, you know, you knowfentanyl that we want you to
take across.
That's how they would get me,because I'm not transferring
animals.
Hey, did you see what changedthis week?
What's that?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
uh, they, they're starting to allow passengers on
with, uh, their shoes oh, mylisten, that is like the best
news since sliced bread.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
I mean, I'm telling you like this has been 20 years
since we've had to, like, takeoff your shoes during the TSA.
And you know crew members, youknow all of us.
Anytime we go through, if yourshoes go off, you got to take
off your shoes, you know, andall that stuff.
But then they for 20 yearsthey've always made the public
do that.
The crew members, we can gothrough with our shoes, right,
(37:20):
we've always been able to dothat since a known crew member
started, and the only thing isis that in this whole news, it
doesn't matter if your shoes gooff, still, so you can go
through with your shoes, but ifyour shoes go off and they
unless that's alarm off, you gotto take off your shoes.
Speaker 2 (37:37):
Right, and so a lot of these women that have nails
in their shoes, I mean that'swell, there's like a shank in
the shoe, like they're in.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
a lot of the shoes are made with like a metal shank
right down the center.
So that's, why they have thoselike TSA.
One aspect that is uh, um, youknow that slows things down, but
(38:05):
we'll see okay, it's a good,most bizarre, most bizarre
reason for a delay.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (38:11):
that'd be.
Oh man, there's so many, somany reasons for crazy delays.
I mean we could talk about foryears and stuff, but I did come
across all these things on thisarticle on the Internet about
some of the stories and stuff,and the first one I came across
was the delay was they couldn'tget their luggage because the
(38:36):
luggage bin was iced over.
What exactly?
Like the the, you know, theluggage bin underneath the plane
.
Right, yeah, like they couldn'tget the plane luggage door open
.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Oh, okay, the door, I got you ice all over the plane
oh, I got it okay yeah, and I'mthinking, there's this thing
called de-icing fluid yeah, theyspray it actually on the ground
to spray it on that help I meanmaintenance comes out and
sprays the engines manually.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
You know like they spray inside the engines before
they go over to the dsc pad.
You know like, but but if thishappened, you know, I don't know
where this exactly happened,but that that was kind of a
bizarre one.
And then the other thing, likeI ran into one that was like
this had to have been the story,had to have been um an older.
Like we can't, they can't findthe pilots, like remember the
(39:28):
day like we were, like we can'tfind any pilots.
That still happens.
It happens less because thecomputer systems, like we know
where pilots are coming from andwhere you know, just like us
where they're supposed to becoming where they're supposed to
be coming, then we're like wecan't find pilots.
From the perspective of thecustomers, they're like you
(39:51):
can't find pilots.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
You're lying to us.
You did this on purpose, that'sbullshit.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
You can't find pilots .
Are you kidding me?
You?
Speaker 2 (40:00):
found a flight attendant.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Yeah, flight attendants are here.
Where's the pilots?
How did you expect to fly thisplane if you don't have pilots?
Where's?
Speaker 2 (40:05):
your boarders Right.
It's too damn hot in here.
Give me something to drink.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Dude, it's a yeah, you owe us a hotel Vouchers,
Right?
I need five, eight free airline.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Are you going to give us drinks now?
Can we get drinks for free?
And drink drinks for free isthe first request, always.
Exactly.
Then there's a one I cameacross.
It says uh midair, uh pilotsuffers a heart attack.
(40:37):
Now that's a shocker, sean.
Yeah right.
Yeah, with our fit guys, rightoh, there's, yeah, they're.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
Yeah, we do have like some very picture of fitness
going on in the airlines, butanyhow, yeah.
So this I guess a pilot got hada heart attack and they were
actually in this, this wholething.
They were asking you know, doesanybody know how to fly a plane
?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
on the remember.
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Remember that that movie air the autopilot when
they inflate the autopilot andall that stuff, yeah, but I
guess this actually happened andI don't know when the
interesting thing in thisarticle didn't say like when
this happened, like what yearsthis happened?
These are just stories thathave collected over the years, I
guess, of different things thatare happening.
But like back in the day, likewhen we didn't pre-9-11 right,
(41:22):
like that's something.
Like that happened and like wecould say are there any other
pilots, are there some non-revenpilots or their pilots?
And you know, somebody knowshow to.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
And I guess and did anyone stay at a holiday and
express?
Speaker 1 (41:32):
right, all those things that could apply that
could assist us to get the planeon the ground safely, yeah, but
I guess they had some air forcepilot and this story was uh
stepped up and helped out theother co-pilot that was there
land a plane, but kind of crazy.
Um, the other thing was like uh, there was a flight that had
(41:57):
200 passengers.
They had to change planesbecause there was a mouse on
board.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Let me tell you something.
Years ago we was in Manila andwe were boarding the plane
Manila, as we're boarding, youknow the little runs down the
jetway.
You're sitting there and it'slike the little drain holes.
Yeah, as we're walking down thejetway, this big-ass rat just
ran up that freaking hole, randown.
It looked like ben ran down.
(42:26):
That little, that little, uhtrack yeah and then his ass went
right down the other hole andall I could think about was did
any of them?
Speaker 1 (42:35):
get in that damn plane, dude.
I had this happen to me like amouse was on the plane.
We were doing a service.
We're, like you know, pullingup the car down the aisle.
And we're going down the aisleand you know like how you're
kind of like turned your bodydown the aisle to kind of see
what you're going, pulling itwith one hand and looking where
you're going with the other way,and as I'm doing it, like from
(42:59):
one, like under somebody's seat,this mouse like darted down out
and like ran like five rows andthen darted in the other side
of the plane.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
I was like I just pictured a bunch of flight
attendants going oh hell, no,they just take off running.
Speaker 1 (43:15):
The first thing that went through my head was like it
was like that whole thing oflike you're like it.
You know, am I high.
Like am I really seeing what Ijust saw?
It, you know, am I high.
Like, am I really seeing what Ijust saw?
Like is this really happening?
Did I see a mouse?
And then some dude in the aisle.
He's like that was a damn mouthand you're like, oh shit, yeah,
(43:37):
but mice on plane is a serious,serious problem.
I mean the airlines ground.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
They will ground that aircraft you know, the only
time is not a problem, when yougot a cat on the plane.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
Yeah, you got a cat, go get it.
Yeah, go get that mouse unzipthat damn mice get everywhere
and there's so many littlecracks and crevices and stuff to
get into in a plane and lots ofwires to chew on.
You know, last thing you wantis a mouse chewing on some wires
.
Anyways, yeah, so another delaythat was kind of crazy too that
they had in this article wasthey got delayed for about five
(44:13):
hours because the plane didn'thave toilet paper.
Speaker 2 (44:16):
I'm not going if it didn't have toilet paper.
Man there ain't no way.
Not going.
Speaker 1 (44:23):
If you ain't got some tissue to wipe my ass or
anybody else's ass, we're notgoing.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
There's a lot of asses that go back into that
bathroom.
First of all.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
One of the most important pieces of the aircraft
is the facilities right, yeah,I mean, I had to divert one time
because all of our freakinglabs stopped working.
Well, they stopped workingbecause you run out of our
freaking labs stopped working.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
Well, they stopped working because you run out of
toilet paper and they startfreaking putting paper towels
down at shit.
Yeah, yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1 (44:50):
I was doing.
I was doing like a transcon,and we got halfway across the
United States and we got toabout Denver and boom, the
toilet started stopped working.
Don't put shit, and I'm like westill got another two and a
half hours ago.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Yeah, and I'm like there's no way.
I was gonna say don't put shitin the lab, but that's the only
thing you want to put in the lab.
Right, put shit in the lab, butkeep the other shit out of all
the other crap.
Speaker 1 (45:16):
Keep it out, keep it out because you'll just mess the
lab up exactly and they havesigns about all that stuff.
But you know that's crazy.
But totally get that delay.
Um, the other one uh, dude, aplane was taxiing out and ran
into the toilet truck.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
That's nasty if he, if he broke that thing open.
That is nasty clean up on aisleone.
Speaker 1 (45:42):
I'm sorry that is would be the nastiest.
Speaker 2 (45:45):
Like that's a biohazard, call the fire
department I'm just parking thetruck and I'm leaving, man who
has a hazmat cert wasn't myfault.
Speaker 1 (45:56):
I mean, that's just oh good grief.
Um, the other thing here's thefunniest one that I came across
was a delay.
There was a massive 450 poundbearded seal that was laying on
the runway and wouldn't movewho's gonna move a?
450 he had crawled up onto therunway and laid on the runway.
(46:20):
It was like chilling, like youknow I seen that picture now.
Speaker 2 (46:24):
The funny thing about it, that seal was looking at
you like go ahead.
Yeah, he's like give it yourbest shot Like they normally do
wherever they're laying down.
Speaker 1 (46:30):
They always kind of like just looking at you.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
You got a fish.
Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
You guys, I'm going to eat.
You got to have something.
I'm hungry.
Speaker 1 (46:45):
My ass ain't getting funny.
Try to roll me.
That shit was funny.
They end up having to callanimal control that delayed this
whole thing and to get this uhseal off the runway unbelievable
.
These are the crazy things thathappen in the airline industry.
That causes crazy delays, thatone dude in florida thinks that
we all intended to do it onpurpose.
On purpose you.
Speaker 2 (47:02):
There's a reason, because you had to get the plane
back and and and leave out ofthat.
Speaker 1 (47:07):
Out of that, okay yeah, man, let's go around the
globe another.
Speaker 2 (47:12):
Another thing okay, lithium batteries, folks don't
put them in your freaking bags.
Another one exploded in abackpack.
A forced aircraft to divert.
We tell you this all the timeif you got a lithium battery,
take the shit out, get it out ofyour bag.
Speaker 1 (47:25):
I'm so surprised that this doesn't happen.
Like more and more often, likethere's so many times, like, uh,
when you get a runaway, youknow fricking battery that, like
you know, starts starts on fireand stuff.
But it is it with the amount ofbatteries that we carry in the
plane on a daily basis you knowall those phones, laptops,
computers it's amazing that itdoesn't happen more often.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Well, and thank God, because you don't want that
runaway.
They don't understand too, isthat if you've ever seen a fire
from a lithium battery.
It's crazy, isn't it, sean?
Speaker 1 (47:58):
Yeah, they're lethal man.
I mean those little batteries.
Speaker 2 (48:03):
They heat up and they get hot and the smoking is one
thing, but as soon as they catchfire, man, those things are
nasty and you're not talkingabout, like the, the fumes from
it crazy.
Yeah, it is crazy.
Hey, this one was.
This one was really funny,though.
I'd seen this video.
A gate agent was dealing with apassenger and this other
passenger was videoing her frombehind.
This woman was up there.
(48:23):
She was.
She was online shopping as thiswoman.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
She did she was amazon in it right in front of
her, like really not payingattention to whatever this
person was doing not, kind ofnot even just scrolling looking
at shoes.
Yeah, do you realize it'samazon week, is amazon times
right now?
Speaker 2 (48:42):
yeah, got free, I've got not.
I'm sorry, man, what was that?
No, no, no, I've got freedelivery.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
Yeah, exactly, I got some free delivery.
I got Prime.
I got Prime, it's Prime daysright now.
Speaker 2 (48:52):
Exactly, I'm going to get these shoes, these Qs are
so cute.
Anyway, what was that?
Again, destination is notavailable, your luggage wouldn't
go where Exactly and then, ohmy God, look at those shoes
Right, these are so cute.
Don't you think these are cute?
But this was actually.
This is crazy.
These people, they got phones,man, and you're over there
(49:14):
freaking shopping at work.
Speaker 1 (49:15):
Unbelievable.
It's so unacceptable.
Speaker 2 (49:17):
Okay, how about this one?
The passenger attacks anotherflight attendant right.
And the best part of this, thebest part of this, is when he
attacks this person, he says youpuny mortal man.
Who's that remind you?
Speaker 1 (49:32):
of yeah, he's like a superhero or something like that
.
Who's that?
Speaker 2 (49:37):
remind you of I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (49:38):
Yeah, loki from.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
Incredible Hulk.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:42):
And Hulk grabbed him.
He was like Hulk smash Bam bambam.
Yeah, and Hulk grabbed him.
He was like Hulk smash Bam bambam.
Speaker 1 (49:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (49:50):
You puny mortal.
You could have came up withanything, right.
Right, you puny mortal man.
Speaker 1 (49:57):
People are way too into their Netflix.
Speaker 2 (50:03):
Now here's the one I don't understand.
If you were in a window seat,okay, if you're in a window seat
and a parent wanted their kidto have that window seat and
you're there and they said wouldyou mind moving and taking this
seat, because my son or mydaughter really wants a window
seat.
Speaker 1 (50:21):
Yeah, I'm cool with it, as long as I'm going to like
an aisle.
I'm not moving to a middle seat.
Speaker 2 (50:26):
Yeah, I'm cool with it, as long as I'm going to like
an aisle, okay, but I'm notmoving to middle seat, okay, but
what if it's a middle seat?
Speaker 1 (50:28):
yeah, middle seat that look that little kid's not
looking out the window.
Speaker 2 (50:32):
That's how that works it amazes me that people shame
people for taking a gift forgetting their seats.
That's bullshit yeah listen,your kid has to learn.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
No, you're not getting a little johnny yeah,
that's one word that a lot ofpeople out in the world don't
understand.
No, tell their kids no, no, no,you can't do that no, you can't
do it.
Speaker 2 (50:51):
You know why?
Because that big man over theresitting over there again and
he'll open the.
Speaker 1 (50:55):
He'll open that, that window for you so you can kind
of look over the side of it yeah, he'll be like yeah, you puny
mortal human, get away from me,sip your, sip your ass, and then
I'll see you and shut up, quitcrying.
Speaker 2 (51:08):
All right, you're killing me, man.
90 degrees outside, no APU.
What does that mean?
Speaker 1 (51:15):
That means you don't board the damn plane.
Speaker 2 (51:17):
That's what that means.
Speaker 1 (51:18):
That means that your ass is sweating.
Yeah, dude, the comfort levelon a plane like and everybody
complains about the planetemperature Like it can be too
cold, it can be too hot, it canbe like there's only you know
that little window of likeeverybody's going to be happy
type of temperature.
But I mean, if you have no APU,which is the auxiliary power
(51:40):
unit of the plane that runs yourair conditioning system and all
that good stuff, dude, and it's90 degrees outside in the, in
the plane it's hot as hell.
Speaker 2 (51:51):
What do you travel with?
Speaker 1 (51:53):
what do a fan, a fan?
I I have my own fan, and I'mnot talking about one of these
little handheld, little puny ohhell, no, puny mortal things
that people use like fanthemselves out.
I got one that mine's like 12inches wide, man, it is a big,
huge, it's a clip-on fan.
It goes in.
(52:13):
That shit was so hot.
Speaker 2 (52:15):
When me and sean was boarding one day, I'm telling
you, we were at the front of theairplane and I'm not kidding
you, it was so damn hot at thefront of the plane.
Speaker 1 (52:23):
Me and Sean put that fan up and we put this dry ice
in front of it so it would blowcool air, making our own cool
air, hanging dry ice behind it,just so that we can get some
type of coolness going.
Speaker 2 (52:36):
We had that fan blowing across that dry ice and
blowing cool air to us.
Speaker 1 (52:40):
So many.
We need to sell these thingsbecause so many flight
attendants have bought that fansince I've seen it and and it's
not a fan that you like, like,uh, if you google fans on the
like clip-on fans you're gonnaget these little like puny
mortal ones.
Speaker 2 (52:53):
But um, you're you're going, I like it, I'm gonna use
it too.
Speaker 1 (52:58):
In fact, next time somebody pisses me, I'm gonna
plane, I'm gonna be like youpuny mortal, stop your bitching
do not board the freaking planesif you don't have an apu.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
Yeah, you're gonna have passengers pissed and
passed out.
Yeah, yeah, not a goodcombination.
Speaker 1 (53:13):
All you, all you flight attendants out there,
like buy a fan with you, likeyou should have that with you.
It'd be bad.
I don't care what size it is.
These planes get hot.
You know we're getting.
It gets too crazy man.
Speaker 2 (53:23):
This last one, absolutely freaking, killed me.
What's that?
All right?
So they drug this passenger offthe aircraft because he wanted
to sit in the emergency exit row, and they told him no.
Speaker 1 (53:37):
Yeah, this isn't old school things like.
Just because it's empty doesn'tmean you can sit there.
Speaker 2 (53:42):
But it's funny part they're dragging his ass off and
the whole video.
I mean we see this all the timewhen they do something stupid
and they drag him off.
But here's this guy, you'regetting drug off the airplane
and the video is shooting andyou see kind of like a side view
and I'm like, okay, you'rewatching this guy get drug off
the funniest part as they'redragging him by Sean.
(54:03):
You see this big.
Okay, he's getting drugged byhis alarms, he's getting drugged
out of there.
And you see this big GarfieldT-shirt on.
Speaker 1 (54:15):
I'm thinking first of all all right, you're a guy.
Is this a kid or is this a man?
No, it's a man.
He's got a Garfield T-shirt on.
Speaker 2 (54:20):
So you're getting drug off the aircraft and all
these people are looking at you.
Not only is your Garfieldt-shirt on, but your shorts have
written up your nuts so farthat they're splitting you in
half.
And I'm thinking now this thinghas went completely viral.
Speaker 1 (54:36):
video right and there it is, You've got this Garfield
First of all, I thought theyalready learned not to drag
people off of aircraft.
No, they, I mean they don't dragpeople off aircraft, it's
easier, like.
The solution to me is alwayslike this like if it's gonna
happen to me and I gotta takesomebody off, like every
motherfucker on that plane isgetting off, I'm taking
(54:57):
everybody off.
Let's see them and the guysitting here and he'd be like
I'm not getting off, and onceeverybody's off and all those
cameras are gone, it's on now,see you just, we would have
never gotten garfield garfieldvideo man he'd have more than
like he'd have a additional likeuh, he'd have new bruises on
(55:19):
him and you know, the funnything about it is around the
globe this week this is justpart of it.
Speaker 2 (55:25):
Around the globe was crazy.
I mean, it was absolutely crazy.
There were so many.
There was so many arguments andfights on on the planes this
week.
It was crazy.
Yeah, these people just justbeating the shit out of each
other on an airplane yeah, thisis.
Speaker 1 (55:39):
This is I'm glad.
Uh, first of all, we don't getit like the.
The percentage of this reallyhappening is probably pretty
small, but just it shouldn't behappening in the first place
period.
Speaker 2 (55:51):
It should be zero.
Yeah, but they have a bunch ofvideos making it funny.

Yeah, crazy.
Anyways, man, what's the quotetoday?
Man, let's wrap this up.
Speaker 2 (56:02):
