Squabble Up: Life Lessons, Travel Stories, Alligator Canoes and Robot Mishaps

Leave us a message, or ask a question?

Have you ever wondered if college is really necessary for success? Or what happens when airline staff completely lose their cool on camera? Shawn and G tackle these questions and share wild workplace stories that'll make your job seem like a dream by comparison.

The conversation kicks off with local dangers on country roads before Shawn whisks us away to Charleston, South Carolina, where he discovered "booze pops" - the adult version of popsicles served alongside ice cream for kids. This leads to reflections on how airline culture has shifted, separating crews and diminishing the camaraderie that once defined the industry.

When the hosts dive into the viral video of gate agents verbally sparring with a customer in Raleigh-Durham, they don't hold back their criticism. "Customer service F...they get a total F," Shawn declares, sparking a discussion about de-escalation and professionalism in an age when everything gets recorded.

The episode's most thought-provoking segment challenges our educational priorities. "Fifty or more of the people that go to college shouldn't be there," G asserts, highlighting how trades like plumbing and welding offer six-figure incomes without student debt. The hosts lament how schools have eliminated shop classes, creating generations who can't handle basic home maintenance.

Shawn delivers the episode's most memorable moment during a time travel discussion, refusing to go to the past with a perfectly timed "I take my black ass back in time, I ain't gonna be happy." This blend of humor and social commentary exemplifies what makes Cabin Pressure unique - the ability to tackle serious topics while keeping you laughing.

Man had to do it three freaking times man, the
growth right now in the lawns,like as soon as they, as soon as
you cut your lawn, I mean thatthing grows like crazy it grows
like a freaking.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
We're in like peak growing season right here yep,
and it doesn't help when you youput the fertilizer on it, I
mean, it grows like a weed, yeah.
But you know this other thingtoo I was coming down, you know,
fixler, and uh, bonita, yeah,just today I, I was uh heading
to the a bad accident again upthere.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
Dude, I almost got an accident too.
That lady jumped out in frontof me, coming over, I think I

coming down and you know howfixer you have the right away on
that track and and slam on mybrady skid.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
I was like sliding the car sideways, like I mean.
But you know a lot of thesecountry roads.
I don't know where most of youguys live, but we're tucked away
back in the country um off ofthe the main highway.
But these old country roads,they have some of these, uh,
blind hills and fixer is a blindhill going and benita crosses
it.
Man, we've had some badaccidents.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yeah, really bad.
I really think they need to putin that intersection.
There's a few in the area herethat I like.
When they have those lead-upflashing red stop signs, they do
, they put one in.
Oh, they did put one in.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
They put it in and then the stop sign just
completely got destroyed.
Put it in and then the, thestop sign just completely got
destroyed from the.
It was a.
It was actually a panel van anda, a tahoe, one of the.
I think the tahoe t-bone, the,the panel van, but you know that
whole corner, they.
They went in, they cleaned that, all that brush and everything
out still doesn't matter,because when they come over,

(03:20):
fixer is a blind hill andthey're flying.
You know these people that arenot from this area, they're,
they're going 55, 60, at least60 miles an hour down these
country roads and they don'trealize right over the top of
the hill is a intersection witha stop and if a car pulls out
there's no way you're stopping,you're going to hit them yeah, I
mean it is.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
We got some really bad intersections that are as as
the population's growing herein our area and stuff that
there's a lot of accidents.
Same thing here in poe in uh inuh 57.
You know it's like it's.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
It's terrible yeah, you, you really got to be
careful, especially if you don'tknow where you're going.
Really slow down, especiallyhere in the country, because
there's a lot of train tracksthat that you know they, they
drop off.
There's a lot of uh they dropoff.
There's a lot of uh four wayintersections.
There's a lot of uh two waysand you're you got the straight
through it, like on Fixler, andthere's been so many accidents.

(04:12):
I mean it's crazy how manyaccidents are at that that
intersection.
So really be careful out there.
So what's going on with you?

outside our hotel.

(04:39):
It was called a booze, it waslike the booze pop truck and it
was like what is a booze pop?
A booze pop truck?
So what it was is this wholebusiness where they had like a
food truck and they had uh madethese booze pops.

I mean, if you've been tocharleston and I know you have,
it's like uh only in the southman, you know it's got that
south, southern vibe to it.
The whole.
Uh, charleston's cool.
I mean I had never, like I'dnever, been on a layover there
actually until the other day,and you know I've been to South

(05:49):
Carolina and all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
But man walking around Charleston like I had
never seen so many summerdresses in my life let me tell
you something if we had a, if wehad a base in North Carolina,
my ass would be there tomorrowoh yeah, I mean that would be a
very senior base, oh my god, Iwould be there tomorrow.
Oh yeah, I mean that would be avery senior base.
Oh my God, I would be theretomorrow.
I love the Carolinas.
I mean it's absolutelybeautiful.
The weather's beautiful allyear long.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it was just.
It was so nice to be justwalking around and chilling and
seeing the, seeing the sites andCharleston has so much food
dude.
So you know, I was in heaven.
I mean like I couldn't pickjust one place to go.
There was like so many placesthat I was like I need to go
here.
I need to go here.
This, these ribs look good.
What'd you eat?
So we went to this uhrestaurant called pugans porch.

(06:36):
It was this little house thatuh, uh, we'd like stepped into
and it had just some great likesouthern cooking.
I had red fish, black and redfish it was.
It was amazing it was someone'shouse.
Yeah, it was like a littlehouse, like it was like this
like little house that they madeinto a restaurant.
So you like walk into likethese little hallways that go

(06:57):
down, like those like uh, Idon't know what you would call
them like those little narrow,colonial, thin houses.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
You know I'm talking about in the south unit.
There's a couple of them overhere in ohio like that too.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yeah, yeah, so like they had like a patio in the
back and all this stuff and theyhad made it hold the downstairs
main area was into a bar andstuff.
It was cool.
It was cool.
So we ate in the bar andchilled out.
And yeah, the other thing thathappened on that trip too is
that I had a first officer thathad been flying for like two
years and he had said this isthe first time I'm actually

(07:28):
going out with crew.
I thought in two years, that'sthe first time.
I mean, that's sad man.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
That's that just reflecting on my business like
it's a reflection of whathappened in the industry yeah,
not of the business like when westarted I was talking to these
other crews about this.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
I was like when we started, I mean, uh, the company
.
Like when we started I wastalking to these other crews
about this.
I was like when we started, Imean, the company that we were,
we initially started with, wenever separated from pilots and
flight attendants.
Nope, so we got like we hadthis cool culture where we like
got to hang out Four days andyou know, four days together and
we got to lay over together andgo out to dinner together and,
like you know, talk about ourlives and you know, like we got

(08:05):
there was bonding on that stuffand you never had a thing.
Where it is now, where, likethese bigger corporations have
like literally separated thecrews pilots go one way, flight
attendants go another way and wenever get to talk to each other
other than so we're only in ourlittle uh groups, so we can't
talk about shit, right, right,yeah, we can't like like, hey,

(08:26):
give me, give me my yourperspective on this, this, this
thing right here.
Like we were talking on a crewthe other day about, uh, uh, the
air bus.
Like one of the procedures onthe air bus just pisses flight
attendants off and that's whenthey call back to the cabin,
they only call back and only thelead.
Can they call the lead?

Speaker 2 (08:44):
It's the most annoying freaking thing.
It is the most annoying thing, Itell you.
But you know something, theydon't even just do it.
Now, it's not just on theAirbus, sean.
You get these.
Some of these pilots are doingthe same thing on the 7-3s.
How are they doing that?
Well, when they call back,they're checking on them, and

(09:08):
then they want you to check inthe back.
And then you check to the backand the back tells you
everything's okay and and youknow, you have to wait till
somebody gets on the phone.
It they, it's this wholedifferent mentality, it's just,
it's bullshit but like on theair bus in particular it only
ran on the wide it only rings tothe front, I know.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
So you try to pick up to listen what's going on in
the back and you get nothing,which is like the three.
You can pick up and stilllisten right, whereas the airbus
you can't do that and it'sannoying as shit.
I was like, so we just did.
I flew that new uh neo umairbus.
Yeah, that one's fun, dude talkabout a giant pile of suck on a

(09:43):
new plane.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
I can't stand that.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Who, in their right mind, thought let's put doors in
front of our cart doors.
I'm like, why, why?
Why is this Like?
This is just an aesthetic.
This is some jockey up infreaking a tower here in our
business saying, oh yeah, thiswould be really neat.
This will make the plane niceand pretty.
It's as functional as a fuckinglike.
It's horrible.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
That whole plane.
I mean, you could go on and onabout that plane, but you know,
there's other things too is evenBoeing Boeing, when they
changed the coffee makers.
What do you think about thosenew coffee makers, those?

Speaker 1 (10:24):
are shit Dude.
We need a class on those son ofa bitches.
Those are freaking crap, man,like when you push the lights,
you don't know which lights,when they're on, when they're
off, not on, you don't knowwhether it's brewing, whether
it's not brewing, and thenwhether the sensor's working and
that sensor doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
We were on a wide body and I'm not kidding you,
man.
We had one freaking coffeemaker that was working.
Yeah, One.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
On that Neo brand new plane we had two coffee makers
making.
I mean, it was so weird.
And then what's the deal with,like an Airbus I'm just not an
Airbus fan, but like some of theolder Airbuses that we've
gotten and stuff, like they havea switch, Like you can only use
one coffee maker at a time.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's that one that was made in China.
Yeah, that's that crap one.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
What are you talking about?
Yeah, who comes up with thisshit?
Like, here's some advice forany airline executive that's out
there If you want to know howto make a plane right and make
your company like hum and worktogether and all that shit, ask
a flight attendant, bring themin.
Like, bring us in like the oldcompany that we used to work for

(11:34):
, that's what they did.
They brought us in and wehelped design the areas we
worked in.
Like we gave them some inputand they followed that stuff
because, like I mean that newneo, it's dangerous.
Those doors are dangerous.
You got to open the door, toopen another door and you have
to keep this other door anddoesn't like lock back.
It's just bullshit.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
So, anyways, man, uh, let's talk about what's
happening okay, starting off,okay, you had to have seen that
video with the, the agents andthe way they were treating that
guy in Raleigh-Durham.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Dude.
Let me tell you customerservice fucking F, they get a
total F.
I mean, nobody in the worldwants an employee to act like
those two agents.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Look what it did for the airline right there.
I mean that went around thecountry.
I mean that thing was crazyviral.

Speaker 1 (12:25):
Yeah, yeah, and I'm not trying to stereotype
anything, but, um, that was justa like ignorance beyond belief.
I mean, you never, as acustomer service agent, like,
first of all, if you're gonnalike that, that just like
dictates what's happening in theworld right now.
Everything that happens, thefirst thing people do pull out
their phone.
If you're working for a company, you don't pull out your phone

(12:47):
to record a customer.
No, like that, that was like Iwas like what are they doing?
Like this should have been onlyif the video should have only
been from the customer'sperspective, they could
videotape you.
Fine, you know like they're notsupposed to do that too, but
you know that's where it shouldbe.
Your behavior as a, as acustomer service agent should

(13:07):
never be like you're reacting tothis and they had their phones
out recording the customer,getting real like ghetto on them
, like it was like I hated it.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
It should have been.
It should have been simply thisthis exactly what you were
saying is that it's hisperspective and it should have
been them diffusing.
Basically, tell them what thepolicy of the company and
understand that you're upset.
Okay, I don't know exactly thewhole situation.
I know that he was late togetting there and explain to him

(13:36):
the company's policy as far aschecking in at that time and try
to diffuse the situation.
But man, oh man, that was justpeeing kerosene on a fire.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, there was zero training there,
you could see, of de-escalation,the agents were making it worse
.
The more they talked they keptjust continuing to make it worse
and worse.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
Well, it went from them and then it looked like
there was a supervisor behindthem.
Right, okay, so the supervisordidn't step in until later parts
of it and then she walked awayand then you had another agent
at the other end chiming in too,and it was like the whole group
was just a bunch of negativity.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah, yeah, it was bad.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
It was a bad situation, but I mean, yeah, it
was bad.
It was a bad situation, but Imean, talk about not get
de-escalated, and this passengeris really irate.
What do we do, Sean?

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Dude, we get somebody else to talk to him and then,
if that, doesn't happen.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
We take him off the plane, right, but we do it in a
way that we do not.
We don't do anything other thande-escalate and we're not going
to get into this big yellingmatch or arguing.
We're just going to remove youfrom the plane and you're going
to go on another plane withsomeone else and nobody else is
going to have to listen to youthe rest of the flight.
But if it goes that far, butthis situation, this was

(15:19):
horrible.
And what happened?
They got fired.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Oh, yeah, they got fired.
They got fired oh yeah, theygot fired.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
They got fired.
So I mean, you know.
So you did all this, you proveda point, you went viral and all
you did was lose your job.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
I'm telling you right now nobody in customer service,
in any industry, should ever,never, ever employ those two
ladies.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
No.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
I mean it was like so blatantly wrong in so many
levels, I mean geez, We'll.
So it was so blatantly wrongand so many levels.
I mean geez, we'll put an,we'll put it on our Facebook
page Like, we'll put a link toit.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
I don't even think you have to shoot it.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
It's all over the country everywhere on viral
right now.
But um, yeah, just bad, bad,bad.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
All right, now I got one for you.
What's that?

Speaker 1 (16:10):
Would you ever get in a canoe in a Florida lake
knowing that there's alligators?
Hell, no, I'm not going to bean alligator fritter snack,
that's very damn sure.
Like I mean no, no, no, no, no,no, I mean there's too many.
I've seen so many incidentsdown in Florida without the
canoe, like you can be on landand alligators are like coming
running up to you and stuff youknow.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Like no, no, Okay.
So you're going into this canoeand you're seeing alligators
and nothing crossed your mindlike bumping them rolling over.
I mean, a canoe rolls anyway.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Yeah, this is not Disney, where they got the
alligators on the side like rawrrolling over.
I mean a canoe rolls anyway.
Yeah, this is not Disney wherethey got the alligators on the
side like you know like theseare real alligators that will
snack on your ass.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
I mean I felt bad.
I mean this what happened downin Florida.
I felt bad for the woman.
She had lost her life.
But come on, I mean there's noway.
Could you imagine you, youtelling you, telling your wife,
yeah, get in this canoe andwe're gonna go across this lake
and there's only it's only likelike three or four feet of water
?
I mean that they were in rightso the alligator's like I don't

(17:16):
know, like eight inches fromyour side of the canoe?

Speaker 1 (17:19):
yeah, man, I mean, those things are so fast.
It's like people don't realizelike they're, they're just
sitting around resting to dothat quick jump.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
Death roll.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Yeah, but they do that death roll too they snap on
you and start rolling, doingthat death roll.
You're like you're done.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
And they got rolled right out of the canoe and then
she ended up getting killed.
That was unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Yeah, basically they're just drowning Whatever
they catch.
They're just trying to drown it, and that's why they did that
roll and all that stuff.
But it's like it is so crazy.
I mean, this whole thing, thisincident reminds me of that baby
in Disney.
You remember that?
Yeah, oh yeah.
Where like the alligator justjumped out of the pond and
snacked on the baby.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Well, when my parents they used to live down in
Okeechobee, right there on thelake down there, and Dad used to
take us out into the waterwayand we'd be parked out in the
hydrilla.
Have you ever been onOkeechobee?
No, okay.
So you go through the locks andin the morning time it's pitch
dark and you're coming out therewith the boats and you're
getting the boats and Dad'sflying back through there and he
turns all the lights off and heturns this big spotlight on.

(18:25):
He goes hey, you want to seesomething really cool.
I said, what's that?
And he goes watch this.
And he turns this spotlight onand for as far as you can see,
sean, all you see is thesefluorescent orange eyes on both
sides, on both sides.
Oh yeah, the reflection fromtheir eyes, yeah, it was like it
looked like a runway and you'reright in the middle and you

(18:45):
look backwards and it's as longthe other way as it is there and
he goes.
There's gators everywhere.
Yeah, you know what that littlealleys are for gators, right?

Speaker 1 (18:57):
What are they?

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Yeah, so in the military terms that right, there
is like a kill zone.
Well, we go back in there.
This was the best part, thefirst time I I went back there
because we were fishing forcrappie back then.
But, um, we, we backed up tothe hydrilla and it's that big
weedy stuff coming out.
Yeah, so I'm sitting there, I'mlike looking around.
You know, I mean you're lookingfor godzilla.
Yeah, I mean you're.
It's pitch dark, you can't seeanything.
Dad's got like a little lighton.

(19:23):
He's out there fishing likenothing.
You know nothing's out there,you know.
And all of a sudden you heardthis thing like coming through.
You know you could hear itmoving through the hydrilla.
And all of a sudden you heardthis and then boom, boom and
it's like running through thishydrilla and it's one of them
damn gators going after like abass or something.
But shit, I about jumped out ofthat damn boat yeah, you know

(19:43):
what.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
That's why you don't go in a canoe versus like an
airboat.
You know those airboats,they're like up like 10 feet off
the water.
There's a reason.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Yeah, no gators.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Because those guys have figured out that gators
will come in, Like they willjump in, whatever you know.
You got to have at least achance to get away from them.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Stay out of a canoe in the Lake Kissimmee.
I'm telling you, don't do it.
It's not worth it.
Yeah, man.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
That's crazy stuff.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
But I had to tell you this one was for you, because
you know you're all into tech.
Did you see that little killerrobot video?
No, I have not seen Smith.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Oh yeah, I love that movie man, so they, they had all
those.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Yeah, they had all those robots Right and they had
this, uh, this Chinese guys andhe was.
He was um working with thisrobot and all of a sudden this
robot went ape shit, man, it waslike doing all these karate
chops and everything is fine.
It was the funniest video.
Yeah, I surprised you didn'tsee it.
No, I didn't, I didn't see it,man, you know did you just hear

(20:48):
that long pause, sean, using theword work in the last, in the
last week?
Yeah, he goes, he goes to southcarolina one time and I was
like, yeah, man, I'm workingexactly, I want to get something
to eat.
I'm working.

Speaker 1 (20:59):
Yeah, I know, man, you know that whole I robot
thing and that dystopian view ofyou know like robots gonna take
over the world and ai is gonnatake care.
You know like all that stufflike kind of contributes to the
stuff, like people just likefeed into that stuff and I'm
sure that video, that robotgoing crazy, is just like some
AI somebody is doing some funnystuff, whatever.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
But no, it wasn't.
It was actually.
They had it in a plant and they, they were doing the, the, the,
you know how they from thecomputer when they put the feed
into it and the robot just wentapeshit.
But I was sitting therethinking of that movie, that
iRobot from there, and thinkingabout these eventually will be
in some people's houses.
Could you imagine that robotgoing apeshit and just

(21:41):
destroying the inside of yourhouse?

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, man, you know there's all this stuff where
it's like you people are likethinking about all this crazy,
you know negative views of whatcan happen with these robots and
stuff, but that was a perfectvideo, man, of your house
getting destroyed, right?
Right, that's kind of like this.
That was almost I can imagine.
It was like like the video oflike that deer that gets in that

(22:06):
car.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Oh yeah, remember, tommy boy, the video of like
that deer that gets in that car.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Oh yeah, remember tommy boy, remember tommy boy oh
my god destroyed that freakingcar exactly but you know, I
could see this one day in yourhouse.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
I'm gonna walk in here and there's gonna be some
damn robot sitting right thereand be like hey, gee, look what
I got.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
Yeah it can happen.
It can, it can.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
It'll happen in your house before it does mine yeah
right, but hey, on a sad note,listen.
There was a lacrosse player inOhio, a young kid that was a
sophomore in high school.
He had a freak accident duringthe game and he was injured and

(22:47):
he lost his life up here and itwas really, really sad.
Really sad, I mean you know Iwas reading about this and you
know, a lot of our friends havekids that actually go to a lot
of these schools and they weretalking about this and how this
young man lost his life and itwas such a freak accident.
And you know, Dalton, my son,played lacrosse, yeah, and he

(23:12):
played at Albright Universitytoo, but it's one of those games
that you know they crossfootball with hockey and you
know these kids love it.
But man, it was a freakaccident, supposedly that you
know, a kid had thrown the balland the kid turned his head and
at the wrong second it hit himin the back of the head, in the
spinal area, and it caused a, abrain bleed.

(23:34):
But you know it, it was so sadbecause you know, you see, all
these kids and and we've we havea lot of flight attendants,
unfortunately, that have losttheir children, um, at at a
young age- yeah mean I get it'sa sad story when all these freak
accidents it just reminds me.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
I get these like flashbacks because you know our
experience of like going throughthis stuff and having flight
attendants you know that havelost their children and stuff
like that for various differentreasons.
It's just like it's just a sadsituation, but there's these
freak accidents.
The good thing that comes outof this, I would hope, would be
that you know the equipment andstuff to protect these kids when

(24:15):
they're print.
Playing will happen, you knowlike there is.
They do wear helmets and stuffin those things, but the helmets
don't come down past past theirneck, right right.
So maybe they need a flexiblesystem with the helmet where
we'll protect it.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
So like, cause those balls are traveling fast, dude
at least some kind of a pad orsomething that extends that back
.
I think it'd be hard pressedhaving having a hard piece of
equipment.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
But like a hinged piece.
You know, something that's aflexible piece, even something
that's like a pad or soft pad,like dampen that blow.
If there was something tohappen like that, that's
comfortable enough to play in alot of stuff.
But you know, we got science,we could, we can do these things
.
But as far as, uh, the wholeoutcome, I mean, I can't tell
you like I had a when I was inhigh school.

(25:05):
There was a kid where he'splaying football and you, you
know, back in our day ourgoalposts used to have the two
poles and it was just like a bigH there.
Right, most schools had thattype of things.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Right.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
And this kid, you know they're running a play and
the kid literally runs rightinto the pole, killed them right
there.
It was like you're like wow,you know like how could this
happen?
How could this?
Now they do these single polegoals right that are flexed way
off the field, stuff like that.
But all these different typesof freak accidents and

(25:37):
unfortunately it's kind of likethe airlines, you know like we
have accidents and we learn fromthese accidents and then we
change whatever the systems areto like, improve those systems.
I mean, like in our day, right,right, I mean it started off
when we started flying there wassmoking in the cabins and we
didn't have fire retarded seats.
Right now we have fire retardedseats, there's no smoking.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
You know like we live and learn, but unfortunately it
takes lives to do that andthat's terrible I think a lot of
times when, um, especially whenyou uh lose a life, this young,
it affects a lot of these kidsdifferently, because I know
whenever I was in high school Ilost my best friend, danny, and
me and him grew up since we weretwo years old and I was

(26:19):
supposed to be in with him thatnight and he had gotten in a car
accident because of drinkingand driving.
It cost him his life and I'llnever forget that I've never
drank and drive.
I never will.
I've made that promise to mymom years ago and I've kept that
promise.
It's one of these things thatwhen these kids lose their life,

(26:39):
for the parents it's time standstill and it's really sad.
And that's all I could thinkabout with this kid, really,
when I started reading this washow time doesn't move forward,
because with these parents, thisyoung man, you know, 14 or 15
years old, it doesn't moveforward.
His friends move forward, theygraduate, and then the parents

(27:02):
see that, and then they move onto college and his parents see
that, and then they see them onFacebook and they see that all
of a sudden they get married orthey have kids, but this young
boy, his life doesn't moveforward.
So I was just sitting therethinking about this family and I
felt really bad for them and myheart goes out to them and the

(27:24):
young man that lost his life inthis freak accident.
And it was a freak accident, itwas no one's fault, it was just
something that was happening.
It's really sad, but I feel forthe families when their lives
don't move forward.
It just stays still, it juststays at that age.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Yeah, thoughts and prayers to the families, for
sure.

Speaker 2 (27:46):
All right, I got a question for you.
What's that?
Do you think these kidsactually need to go to college?

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Need to go to college .

Speaker 2 (27:53):
Yeah, we had to switch it up a little bit.
Do you think they need?

Speaker 1 (27:55):
to go to college.
So here's my thoughts on this.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
No, I mean I'm so glad you said that I am so glad
you said that.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Well, I mean, here's the thing Like there's so many
like our culture has been likethis grooming like stage, like
through our, through our lives,and you know this, this thing,
us raising the kids andgeneration after generation, and
gotten this thing where we'relike, yeah, you know the to, you
know grow and make enough moneyand all this stuff, that you
should be going to college andyou know college is a must and

(28:26):
everything, and I think, like 50or more of the people that go
to college, they shouldn't bethere.
Like it's, like it's, it's awaste, like you're not.
A lot of them don't useanything, they do nothing.
First of all, they, they don't.
It's a, it's a, um, definitelya colonial institute that we've
instituted here in the worldthat was brought over from

(28:47):
europe, that we've kind of likeinstilled into our culture.
And it's terrible because,because of this drive to go to
college and because America hasgotten so rich and you know,
like prosperous and all thisstuff, you know, sending your
kids to get to college is just anormal thing, right, like this
is a progression of stuff, thisis what we have to do, but now

(29:07):
we've like literally weeded outall the trades, all the trades.
Nobody's supporting the tradesanymore and we need plumbers, we
need carpenters, you know, weneed all those things that this
is exactly what I was talkingabout.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
I was reading this article and, um, and they were
talking about exactly that.
Sean, is that how the trades?
The none of these kids do anyof the trades anymore.
And and some of the kids werelaughing because, oh, you're
going to be a plumber.
Let me explain something to you.
So you're laughing at that guybeing a plumber and if you
looked at him and he's got hisbelt on, he jumps out of his

(29:41):
little van and stuff like thatand you're like, oh, I'd never
do that and would you look athim the same way?
As you said that he owns thatcompany and that company is
worth $3 million, $4 million.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Yeah, people don't get it Like the trades.
Right now they can almost writetheir own ticket like do
whatever they want to do.
Because I mean you can startoff as a freaking apprentice
plumber right now and you caneasily get very close to three
digits in income, very close tothree digits in income.

Speaker 2 (30:08):
Sean, you're going to come out.
If you took welding classes inhigh school, you're going to
come out $60,000, $70,000 a yearas a welder.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (30:18):
I mean, if you just went into the trade, you have no
debt.
You're getting trained in highschool to do this.
They don't have hardly any ofthese classes in high school
anymore, do you remember?
We always had that.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Yeah, I was just about to say that I was like in
high school.
No, no, no, they don't do thatanymore.
When we went to school, I tookwelding, I took woodworking, I
didn't take auto I should have,but auto was available All these
trade things, the schools havetotally gotten rid of them.
And, Like, all these tradethings, the schools have totally

(30:54):
gotten rid of them.
And it's so sad because, likehere's a funny story Like my
nephew he's just called, youknow, recently graduated young,
20 year old guy, you know, andhe's coming up but he's calling
me for like basic stuff that youshould know about your house.
Like he's renting from a houseand he doesn't know how to
change the head on a shower.
Like I'm like what you know,like this is what the generation

(31:14):
right now we've, like you know,back to the original thought
here, where we've groomedourselves to think that going to
college is going to fixeverything and you're going to
be rich and you're going to havea good life.
And yeah, that is all possiblemost of the time.
But there's so many people thatdon't need to go to college and
even shouldn't be there andprobably should be working a
trade rather than spending themoney and doing the college, you

(31:36):
know, and they could be just aswell off.
You know, they don't even haveto be the owner of the company.
You don't have to be theplumber that owns the company.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
You'd be working for him, Make plenty of a good, good
salary right, my nephew DylanSean, instead of going to
college he went to a tradeschool and it was down in
Florida.
He was working on small enginesfor a couple years.
Right, he's never been withouta job.
He has a beautiful home down inFlorida, a beautiful family
down in Florida, has a greatincome, and all because he went

(32:05):
to a two-year school for smallengines, learned that, came out,
had a trade, didn't have debt,he came out and he had a job
right when he came out and he'sbeen employed ever since.
He's never been without a job.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Yeah, yeah, I mean we really need to like.
The world has to like.
I think we're in like areadjustment stage right now in
the world period here in theUnited States In fact I
shouldn't say world, becausewe're only looking at it from a
perspective of being Americanbut in America right now we we
are in adjustment stage.
Like we have figured out,there's so much, so many of

(32:43):
these jobs that are trade jobsand so many areas that we need
Like.
Right now we're in desperateneed of farmers.
Like farmers are that we needLike.
Right now we're in desperateneed of farmers.
Like farmers are in desperateneed.
People don't realize there'sgoing to be a food shortage here
soon because we don't haveenough farmers and we don't give
them enough value.
And farming is a very, verytough life, but if you've been

(33:04):
born and raised a farmer, youknow boom.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Well, look what happens to all these farms, even
around here, though they'reselling them into developments.
Yeah, I mean they're right nowthey're.
They're becoming new, newdevelopments in our area.
All these small farms.
I mean you go up there bonnieglenn is, is I mean look at the
houses on that man they're.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
They're like starting off at like 1.2, 1.3 million in
those things yeah, they'regetting ready to put in like
right around the corner, here,on corner here, less than a mile
down the street, here they'reputting in another 500 houses, I
know, right down the street theother way too.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
You guys think about a lot ofareas of growth around here, but
it's crazy.
But anyway, you do not have togo to college, you don't have to
be in big debt.
But if you want a good life foryourself, man, there's so many
trades operators.
But you know, if you want agood life for yourself, man,
there's so many trades Operators.
Even those guys that drivethose big-ass tractors on the
interstate, man, they're makingbank.
Those guys are making big bucks, man, for driving those

(33:57):
tractors.
And you know a lot of those areair-conditioned cabs too, so
you don't have to get out in theelements.

Speaker 1 (34:04):
So here's the thing If you're thinking about doing
college and you're like thisisn't for me, start looking at
the trades, like there's so manycool trades out there.
But I would give you one thingof advice, like the truck driver
thing for me.
Um no, I think those robots aregetting ready to take over yeah
, I wouldn't like they don'thave a, they don't.
There's not too much future inthat.

(34:25):
Yeah, um, but like for theplumber, I don't see a robot
plumber coming in my house, youknow, right, right yet plumbing.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Plumbing has gotten really really high tech too,
though very technical you knowthose that new, uh, all those
new pressure lines.
Man, you can just wave that orweave that um the the piping
through anything now.
Yeah, I mean that pex is in thepex, the pex climbing, yeah, oh
yeah it's, it's, it's, uh itthere's.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
There's good and bad, pro cons.
You know, like it's so funny,like over our lifetime you
started even talking aboutplumbing, like we started off
when we were kids.
It was all like copper oh, yeahand uh, sweating joints, yeah
sweating joints and all thatstuff, and it just moved from uh
um pvc goes from the pvc and,and, and then now you go into

(35:15):
the pecs yeah, packs and allthat stuff I mean, but there was
even iron before copper, ohyeah.
So like my father-in-law's housethat we had sold not too long
ago, and like you could see that, like the all the different,
you know, generations ofplumbing technology, because it
was all these differentconnections melding each one
with one.

Speaker 2 (35:33):
And there was always somebody trying to add this to
this to make it work.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
It always leaked.
I mean it leaked and you gotsome nasty-ass smell because
somebody tried to put PVC oversome iron thing.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah, it was so crazy .
Oh, it'll work, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
It just goes down, don't worry about it, it still
comes in through the ceiling ofyour house.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
We need trades, we need people doing trades and
people should be thinking about.
Whatever trade you do go into,make sure that it's one that's
going to last a long time,because technology,
unfortunately, is taking over incertain things.
I mean, you could see it likeyou know, in the auto factories,
like factories aren't on theline anymore, they're operating
the robots on the line.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
You're going to have a job, you know, but there's
jobs, you're going to have a job, all right, listen, I had to
ask you this one what's that?
We haven't talked about thisfor a while, and get a little
brief thing.
What have you?

Speaker 1 (36:27):
been well.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
I haven't been working a lot lately and uh you
guys can't, you can only see myface right now working a lot
face of no dude.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
I'm gonna tell you there's some cool uh shows that
I watch.
One, uh, one big one.
That latest one I watched wasuh apple's dope's dope thief.
Dope thief was cool.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
It was a while.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
Yeah, dope thief was.
Uh, it's about these two catsthat uh decide to pose a DA
agents and they go in.
Uh, robin, uh, dope dealerscats.
You know these two guys twocats no, not a dog no not a dog
and a cat.
I'm going to try to get G up onhis lingo here.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
But he said cats, two dudes, two cats.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Now dudes is different.
All right, so you got two dudesyou said cats.
I said cats, dude.
People are laughing at you.
You don't know what cats are.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Cats are like from the what 60s 70s Between 60s 70s
.
Come on, man from the what 60s,70s between 60s, 70s.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Come on, man, you gotta pay up on your
generational, all right, so twocats anyways.
So these jokers get into doingthis and, uh, they rob the wrong
people.
So it's it's a good show andit's crazy.
That's a good one.
But the latest one like we'retalking about technology and
stuff, which is my total jamshow is black mirror.
Have you watched black mirror?
no, come on black mirror man, itwas like black mirror is like
the modern day, like twilightzone that's what I can compare

(37:55):
to um, but it's all ontechnology.
So everything that's in theseshows, like each individual show
, is like that single individualshow, like check, like, uh,
twilight zone was um, but eachone talks about like these weird
wild technology possibilitiesthat are normally like these
dystopian views of like what cango wrong with you know these

(38:19):
technology and they got allkinds of stuff man like like
killer robot.
They got like robot robot killerbees.
That'd be cool.
No, I'm telling you, you got tocheck out the show.
It is wild man.
They got stuff that are wild.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
Killer, like drones and like it goes all kinds of
crazy things.
I knew you was going to havesomething for us to watch.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, if you're into thattype of thing, that's a really
cool, some cool shows.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Let's have a little fun on a rundown though.
All right, let's do that, allright.
Worst.
I was asking a couple people onthe planes, uh, this past week,
and one of them you know Roband um and I asked him what was
the worst job you ever did.
His response was he was uh, hewas a shoe salesman for Thomas
McCann.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Oh, no, he wasn't.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
Yeah, he was Al Bundy .
He was Al Bundy.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
Yeah, yeah, you know what?

Speaker 2 (39:17):
he said I can see this too.
He said his biggest thing iswhen the parents would bring
these kids in.
The kids never wanted to tryshoes on.
I don't want to try it on.
I don't want to try it on.
Kids never wanted to.
You know, try shoes on.
I don't want to try it on, Idon't want to try it on.
And he's over there with hislittle shoe horn and that little
measuring thing.
Remember they used to put yourfoot in there?
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Step in the pose, slide the little foot, yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:39):
And then you put your foot in the shoe and he's like
well, can you feel the toe?
I can't feel it.
I'm sitting here pushing downand he goes.
You know, ow, it hurts, ithurts and he goes.
I just want to kill this littlekid.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Yeah, I'm going to tell you right now that would be
like a job in purgatory thatI'd have.
I never would be working withsomebody else's freaking stock
feet.
You with feet, no feet dudeperiod Especially if you want
some sandals, got some nasty oldtoe jam.
Hell, no, no, hell, no.
All right, what's your worstjob?
Yeah, my worst job man isprobably like um me, cleaning
out the sewer lines for my auntone time there was like cali out

(40:18):
in california.
They come through the sewersand they have these like robots
that like clean, like flush thesewers, they can like scrape the
things, but what they end updoing is like scraping down the
sewers and they create theselike huge giant oil logs and
they clog up the drain pipesthat are going from your house.
So then all of a sudden, aftera period of time and a number of

(40:40):
flushes, certain things startcoming back up and it just, it
just so happened that I was busyin my aunt at the time and it
just, it just so happened that Iwas visiting my aunt at the
time and it ended up that, um,she was like, oh my god, I'm
gonna have to get a plumber todo this.
Blah, blah, mom, I want my fleshout.
You know, line is, uh, is allclogged up.
And they knew that everybody inthis whole like when they do

(41:03):
this in california it was likeeverybody in a block.
It was like a plumber's dream,because everybody's gonna have
this problem, unless you knowhow to clear it yourself.
And so, yeah, man, I starteddigging into the line.
I had to go in there and getthat whole thing.

Speaker 2 (41:17):
That's nasty, nasty dude.
That's nasty Because that'sother people's poo-poo yeah man
Other people's poo-poo.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Working in other people's poo-poo is not a good
thing, but that's why thoseplumbers make a ton of fucking
money, right.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Okay, me, dave and Bruce Dad had us go get water
blasting qualified, right, it'swater demolition.
So he's like, oh, got you thisgreat job.
So we were sent out to thepower plant in the middle of
freaking nowhere, okay, and itwas like, I don't know, we were
supposed to work from midnightto eight in the morning.

(41:52):
You know what they did, sean.
They took us out to this damnhole in the ground and they had
a big clam bucket over there andthey had a foreman over there
and we were dressed up like theGhostbusters, because you had
these big packs on, these waterpacks and you had like a water
gun, but with a lot of power inthat thing, right, and and
they're like okay, what you'regoing to do is that we're going

(42:13):
to lower you, lower you down by80 feet and into this hole, and
you guys are going to cut outthe metal sickle around that,
around this power plant, andthen cut it up in pieces and
then we're going to offload itin the morning time and you guys
are just going to keep doingthat.
Yikes, did you just hear?
I said 80 feet down.
Yeah, so we're going.

(42:33):
This is the stupidest thingwe've ever done.
So we lay it lower down in thisbucket.
And we got these little lampson our heads that were like
little miners, and we go downthere and it's not bad enough
that you have to walk throughthis water.
That's probably about at kneeheight as you're walking through
there.
But then all of a sudden youstart hearing these noises.
You know what's down there,sean.

(42:53):
Oh, dude, all kinds of crittersRiver rats, river rats, them
damn things were the size ofcats.
You probably didn't hear thesnakes, oh my God.
Well, I was more concerned withthe river rats, so our job was
two of us were cutting, one ofus was basically hunting Yikes,
killing them, basically huntingyikes, and killing them with the
water blaster water blaster.
Yeah, so we had to cut thatsickle out and it worse, john, I

(43:16):
mean the bottom line worse so.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
So here's.
Here's my question, like I'msure many of the listeners out
there is thinking the same thingas me, is what those are like?
Did your father love you?

Speaker 2 (43:29):
you know what was with dad?
With dad was this Dad was inconstruction his whole life okay
.
And what he said was he wasgoing to make sure that his sons
never worked construction.
He gave us the shittiest job,sean, I swear to God, have you
ever heard of hod carrying no?
Okay, so you had to carry thesebig ass.
You know, when they used tobuild these big storage

(43:51):
facilities, they used to usethese big-ass cinder blocks.

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
So they would drop them off on the semis Right, and
so you'd have to take thesecinder blocks, carry them over
to this Mason's pallet and thenyou'd have to hoist this shit
back all the way up to theMason's and then repeat all damn
day long.

Speaker 1 (44:09):
No, okay.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Now, that was one, and the other one is running 125
pound jackhammer all day.
Oh no, so, how many kids, howmany of his boys do you think
ended up in labor?
Zip Zero Zero he accomplishedeverything that he set out,
because not one of us ended upin labor.
We all ended up in differentjobs because that's bullshit.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
You mean one, none of you.
So like I love killing riverrats, I love, I love killing
myself.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
Basically, that's what it is, because I'm telling
you, man dad gave us theshittiest jobs because he did
not want us working in in laborat all and, like I said, that's
why I'm a flight attendant.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
All right man, if you could travel back in time,
where would you go?
Whatever, all right man, if youcould travel back in time.

Speaker 1 (44:53):
Where would you go?
Whatever dude, I'd stay my assright here.
Really, there's no way I'mgoing back in time.
I didn't ask you that, I knowyou didn't let me tell you if
you could, I'm gonna tell youthe reasons.
If I could, you know I wouldn't.
I'm in fun, listen to this,because this is all about
perspective like you're talkingabout.
Let's go back in time.
You take your ass back in time.

(45:14):
You're just fine.
I take my black ass back intime I ain't gonna be happy.
It ain't gonna be a funsituation, and so you gotta you
gotta think about this inperspective.
So so here's a, here's thething like I take myself back to
like colonial time, I'm dead.
I take myself back into the 20s, I'm getting lynched, you know

(45:36):
like no, no dude.
So so I like right where I'm atright now, because the world
really likes people you'rekilling me man I a little thing
like an era thing and we're allyou can't take.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Go back here because they'll kill me, can't go back
here, they'll kill me.

Speaker 1 (45:53):
You're fantasizing like this is, like you know, the
land of the lost and stuff, andI'm gonna run around and I'll
take you back to that one.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
That'd be funny.
Yeah, how about the cavemantimes?
What happened to you?

Speaker 1 (46:03):
then I'm freaking, I'm on the spit, all right that
was pretty funny.

Speaker 2 (46:12):
That shit was funny.
I like that.
That was a good one.
If I was going back I'd say I'dlove to go back to the 50s.

Speaker 1 (46:18):
Yeah, the 50s.
Yeah, I could see you.
It was freaking like the slickback hair.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
It's not that bad.

Speaker 1 (46:24):
And the leather collar flipped up.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the James Dean, get on the
motorcycle, on your motorcycle.
Yeah, I can see you Run yourass down.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Yeah, yeah, dragging that black dude behind your bike
, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
That was damn wrong, that was wrong, that was wrong,
that was so wrong.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
No, I'm just telling you.
It's all about perspective.

Speaker 2 (46:50):
No, the reason why I said the 50s was Elvis
Presleyley.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
Elvis presley, yeah, oh yeah, man, I love elvis.
Yeah, elvis was cool man.
I mean like he was so coolbecause I love that.
Like here's this dude thatliterally went into the world
that nobody was going into atthat time and that's like soul,
southern music and stuff, and hetook that shit and he made it
his.
You know like it was, like itwas so good, you know like it

(47:17):
was, and then it just broughtthat.
That's where, like that was thebeginning of our culture meld.
Like people were starting toaccept other cultures and stuff
like that.
Not that it's not to say thatlike there's people in the world
that always, you know, gotalong with everybody, but there
was a lot of like discriminationand well, yeah, but elvis had
had a huge black influence.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Like his money, his it came from church music.

Speaker 2 (47:41):
Black southern soul music right yeah, you ain't
nothing about a hound dog man,it was like a soul song it's
original.

Speaker 1 (47:47):
The original person that sang it was a black dude.
That, um, I don't know his nameright off the top of my head,
but he, you know it was a blackdude that, um, I don't know his
name right off top my head, buthe, you know it was a rhythm and
blue song.
So I sound a little bit betterthan that.

Speaker 2 (47:59):
But some of that you know.
But, um, you know, the 50sdefinitely would have been mine.
But you know, what I love aboutwith me and you.
I agree too.
We can just make fun of allkinds of shit.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Oh yeah, man I was just thinking that that was so
funny.

Speaker 2 (48:14):
I mean we can't, we can't make fun of all kinds of
shit, but I love that.

Speaker 1 (48:17):
All right, biggest pet peeve do I have to say it,
freaking open toe shoes.
Nobody in the world should bewearing open toe shoes as pretty
as some of these little ladiesthink their feet are and stuff
like that with their paintednails and stuff and blah blah.
But the majority of peoplewalking around open toe shoes is
just about now funk, fungusnastiness.

(48:41):
They look like cavemen mine'sbody funk man, but oh, I can't
stand by I just had this dude onthe plane man, it was like just
that was my first flight backLike he was in the back of the
cabin and the whole entire cabin.
You could smell that likeammonia aroma.
How could?

Speaker 2 (49:00):
you not smell that?

Speaker 1 (49:01):
I don't know, dude, you got to get up like people
take showers, I mean body funk.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
That's like use deodorant.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
We got all kinds of technology to keep it down and,
like, become acceptable in thisworld.
You know, you don't have to bea caveman.
All right, man, favoriteconcert you too, man, you too

these service jobs and stuff andit's kind of like between
military and college and allthis stuff.
Anyways, I roomed with 18 women.
Now, half of them were gay,that's immaterial, but there's
18 women in this sorority house.
I was the guy, I was like thewatchdog on the first floor,

(49:49):
right, so we're listening toradio back then and this YouTube
concert was happening and thetickets were sold out and nobody
can get it.
And all of a sudden on theradio they announced you know,

(50:36):
I was so freaking drunk by thetime I got to kansas city
because it was nothing but aparty.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
Hey, before we get into around the globe, did you
see that Houston'sintercontinental airport has
Garrett's popcorn now?

Speaker 1 (53:21):

It's on concourse c, okay.
So I mean, like they got youknow abcd there or whatever, but
it's like, uh, yeah, we weretalking about how you know, with
them, uh, expanding out.
So yeah, that was that wasincredible.
But hey, let's go around theglobe.
Yeah, quickly, okay, did yousee?
How did?
How does two wide bodies,aircrafts, clip wings, backing

(53:50):
out one, backing out one'sbehind?
How in the hell does thathappen?

Speaker 1 (53:53):
Wingwalkers.
It's a combination of a bunchof stupidness happening Because
I mean, there's so manyprotocols with the pushing a
plane back, especially inairports.
You have wingwalkers, you getall that stuff and you know when
you look out the window whenthey're doing the wingwalkers
tell me how good they're payingattention, like it's like
there's something.

(54:13):
I'm not trying to slam anybody,but it only takes one wing and
one guy to be out there justfalling asleep, walking out,
doing his job not really doinghis job, just being there.

Speaker 2 (54:24):
How about the guy walking back?
He can't see that there's abig-ass plane right behind them
too, right, okay, so you've gotthree of them and then, and you
got the guy on the tug that isactually pushing it back, and
you can't see that there's aplane in the alley too.

Speaker 1 (54:40):
Two of them took out two planes this is how accidents
happen, because all it takes isone of those people to fall
asleep and then boom, clippingwings.

Speaker 2 (54:49):
Straight stupidity, yeah, alright.
Guy runs down the jetway.
He's late for the late for hisflight, runs past the gate agent
, gets down to the plane, thejetway still attached.
He's beating on the side door.
Do you open?

Speaker 1 (55:02):
hell.
No, you know what I do.
I give him a thumbs up youmissed your flight that's
exactly what I do.

Speaker 2 (55:12):
I'm not opening that door for you this guy was
beating on the side of theairplane.
The gate agent backed up waslike hell.
No, I had no idea.
You know what?

Speaker 1 (55:19):
this because you know , but you can't back up because
he'll fall off the jetway right,and you know, because nobody
else can see us like in theplane or anything, because we
were like at the door and stuff,you know I might stick my
tongue out at him you, you startwaving, you'll be like bye See
you later You're out of here.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Oh my God.
Okay, first-class passengerwouldn't come out of the
lavatory.
He was repeatedly asked to comeout.
He wouldn't come out.
They said, listen, you know yougot to come out.
And he said it's not coming outyet.
And they're like, well, youhave to come out of the lab.
And he wouldn't come out andthey say, well, then we're gonna
unlock the door.
Guess what he's doing, sean?

(55:57):
smoking nope he was playing withhimself, dude, come on, yep,
there is just like so stupidokay, but when you, when you

(56:18):
land, and you and the policemeet the plane, okay, that's
gonna be one to talk about in it.

Speaker 1 (56:22):

sure.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
But I mean he, he definitely, he definitely wasn't
coming out of that lap until hewas done, until they opened the
door and unlocked it.
So but you know we tell you allthe time I mean in this
industry we're gonna have stuffto talk about all the time.
I mean we kind of hit on itthis week, but you know there's
a ton more.
