Have you ever witnessed an airport brawl where wet floor signs became makeshift weapons? Shawn and G kick off this wild episode of Cabin Pressure with a firsthand account of the chaos at Chicago's airport, contrasting the madness with the tranquility of adult coloring books. Dive into Shawn's creative world as he shares his latest projects, including a new book and whimsical coloring books featuring unicorns and mandalas. We find humor in the unexpected, from airport altercations to the therapeutic delight of coloring between the lines.
But the journey doesn't stop there. We recount a friendship forged in the heat of a misunderstanding involving dreadlocks—but no, they weren't rope! This tale from the past highlights the importance of staying cool and seeking help rather than resorting to fists. We revisit a memorable night outside a bar that sealed a lifelong bond and explore the loyalty born from shared adversity. Our message? Think twice before acting, and remember: sometimes the strongest friendships are forged in the most unexpected places.
As holiday travel kicks into high gear, we tackle the stress and humor of in-flight annoyances, from unresponsive passengers to smelly lavatories. Our candid anecdotes spotlight the patience required from airline staff, while a reflective discussion takes us into societal issues like homelessness and mental health. As a cherry on top, Sean and G whisk you away to New Orleans, savoring the city's vibrant culture and mouth-watering cuisine before wrapping up with warm holiday wishes. Whether you're dodging airport chaos or savoring gumbo on Bourbon Street, this episode has a bit of everything to keep you entertained and thoughtful through the holiday season.

throwing down at the terminal.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Wow yeah, they were sitting there.
And then they grabbed ahold ofthe signs and started hitting
each other.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
They started banging on each other with the signs in
the airport.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, there's.
You know, there's a wet signs,there's yellow wet signs.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
They started swinging andswinging on each other.
But you know the funny thing,this whole time when I was
watching this video, it, it, itjust had me thinking that,
listen, guys, if in your lifethat you have never thrown hands
(03:46):
with someone, gotten a bigfight other than your sister,
and you got beat like thesethree guys did, this one guy he
was throwing one guy throughthis opening and he grabbed this
other guy, threw him the otherway.
The little other dude wasgrabbing the sign, chasing him
around with it.
But you can tell these guyshave never gotten in a fight,
(04:08):
even with their sister.
The one guy and here's thething you'll know this Sean a
guy with dreads.
Oops, what happens if you're ina fight with a guy with dreads?
What happens?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
He might have a little less dreads.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That's exactly what happened.
That dude grabbed a hold of hisdreads and ripped him off,
scalped him.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh wow, yeah, he was holding.
That had to hurt like a son ofa bitch.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You know, it got hot and cold at the same time and he
was feeling that breeze.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Hey, but you know those dreads and stuff, man,
they're like decaying and allthey might come off a little
easy.
Actually, that's a rope, sean.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That was a rope.
He grabbed a hold of that thingand he ripped those dreads
right off of his head.
You could tell he was holdingthat patch area on his head
where he got ripped off.
And then he seen the little guyover in the corner.
He was holding the sign andthey're all coming at him and
they're getting ready to come athim again and he grabs a hold
of this pole and then they allstarted backing up.
(05:03):
But going back to what I wassaying, folks listen, if you
have never gotten a fight before, when you have an altercation
like this, go get the police.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, go get somebody to assist you, don't start.
Now is not the time to startyour WWMA career.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Especially if you've got dreads, because you're going
to get scalped in a minute.
You cannot throw hands becauseyou're going to get scalped in a
minute.
You cannot throw hands.
You're going to get your asswhooped for sure.
How?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
do you even correct that?
The dude goes home with it inthe night and he's got this
missing patch of dreads out ofhis head.
You just braid them over andtie them into a ponytail.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't know.
Well they've got that sprayhair stuff that you could spray
over the patch, right?
You can't just go and like trimit, not with dreads, you know
what this goes back to, you know, when we first started our
podcast and we said how webecame friends and I have to go
back to this because we neveractually touched on this Right
(06:00):
Years ago, me and Sean and thisis a long time ago, long time
ago this is how I became reallygreat friends with him.
We were in a situation it wasoutside of a bar and it was late
at night Not going to get intothe whole situation but it got
really bad really quick and wewere out in the parking lot and
(06:23):
the next thing, you know, wehave these guys there's probably
anywhere from I don't know, 16,18 guys running at us At least.
And we were out there and I waswith my brothers and me and
Sean our friendship just startedand there was this other guy
that was with us and when heseen this big group of guys
(06:44):
running at us, he took offrunning, didn't he?
Yep?
And I looked at Sean and I saidlook, I don't leave my brothers
, you do what you got to do.
And he looked at me and he'slike I'm with you.
And he turned around and nextthing, you know, all hell broke
loose in that parking lot.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And that ended up a little while later as all of us
spread eagle on police cars inthe middle of the heat in
Florida, which is a whole otherstory.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But going back to what I was saying, though, sean,
this, the difference was thisokay, you had four guys and I
didn't know, sean, at that time,how he could, you know, throw
hands, basically.
But we had four of us in thisparking lot and probably 15, 18
guys running at us, and the fourin the parking lot could throw
(07:25):
hands.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, we did our damage.
Let's put it that way.
They end up letting the policelet us go at the end of the day,
because it was like they werelike wait, you four were all
fighting all those guys.
And I could hear the policegetting policeman.
He was like get the hell out ofhere.
I don't want could hear thepoliceman.
He was like get the hell out ofhere.
I don't want to hear about it.
I don't want to see youarrested today.
(07:46):
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That was the most fortunate thing that ever
happened to us, because it wasself-defense.
These guys came at us and theyhad other witnesses.
But going back to what I wassaying is that that's the reason
why, folks, when you have afriend like that and you have a
situation like that, and thatperson turns around and he
stands there and you're lookingat these insurmountable odds and
(08:11):
he was like, let's get it,that's why he's still here today
.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Man, we've been friends for a long time you got
to stand by your friends, man.
Oh yeah, friends family, that'swhat the life is all about.
Right, absolutely.
But hey, listen going Friends,family, that's what life is all
about right, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But hey, listen, going back to those guys, listen
, next time you think aboutgoing after a passenger or
anybody else, realize, come backto this video and it will make
sure that you don't ever do itagain.
And, mr Dreadlocks, trust mewhen I'm telling you man, look
at that bald spot in your headand your ass ain't going to get
in a fight ever again.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, we'll repost that video.
That's online.
We'll put the link on ourFacebook page.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, and you're going to see that this guy has
his hair actually in his hands,yeah, but hey, listen.
Going back to the holidaytravel, you know me, I work a
lot and this last couple days Iactually took an extra day off.
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You don't wait, wait, wait.
First of all, this man doesn'ttake days off.
I mean, he's the hardestworking platter den I know, like
period.
I don't know anybody elseanywhere in the freaking United
States world that works harderthan this man right here and he
gets at it like always.
Do you know when?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
we talked about the rants.
We always talk about our rants.
Well, take our bag of rants,put them in Santa's bag.
And that shit was what happenedduring the week.
Every damn day, oh no.
And forget that 5% that Italked about last week.
It was like 95% and 5% werenormal, right, and I was like I
have got to get away from thisairplane for a few days because,
(09:50):
man, they are killing me.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Hey man, holiday stress is not only for the
customers, it's for theemployees as well.
I mean we have plenty of we gotto deal with everybody's
problems coming on the plane andstuff.
So I mean I get it 've got todeal with everybody's problems
coming into the plane and stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
So I mean, I get it, You've got to decompress.
Sometimes Just step away.
Well, you're going to hear mesay this a lot throughout our
podcast Take the headphones off.
It absolutely drives me nuts.
I can't tell you how much itdrives me nuts.
This past week, Sean, I'mtelling you, all I wanted to do
was just kind of rip thoseheadphones off their heads.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I know I have gotten to be a very short fuse with
those headphones.
I mean you can literally you'retalking eye to eye, they're
(10:49):
looking at you back and forthand they have the headphones on
and they can see, see your lipsmoving and you're trying to
communicate with them, but theystill.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They'll be like.
Then they'll like take off oneor remove one and be like what'd
you say?
I know it like.
It absolutely drives me crazydude, I don't got time.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
This is like we're.
We're in a time situation here,like most of our job is
dictated on.
We only have so much time to docertain things on the plane,
and one of them is not to repeat100, 200 times on a plane the
same damn stupid stuff.
Fasten your seatbelt.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You're going to get an ugly.
Look, I'm telling you, I feltmy face changing by the time
that I got to the back of theairplane because I was like if
one more person with thoseheadphones just asked me again
to repeat what I was saying,it's just going to absolutely
drive me crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, hey, you know what.
Here's the headphones.
So this is related.
So you know one.
My big annoyance during whenI'm flying is that people are
always asking us for headphones,you know?
And so now I go down to thecabin and like one of the first
things I'm like I'm yelling.
I go down to the cabin and oneof the first things I'm like I'm
yelling, I'm like all right,this is it.
(11:49):
You snooze, you lose.
You got one chance at this.
I'm handing headphones out.
Who needs headphones?
And if they, hey, I'm notcoming back.
By the time I get to the end ofthe plane, if you haven't heard
and you ring your flightattendant call button, another
flight attendant is going tohelp you.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And you know, as soon as you get in the aisle, the
first thing they're going to askyou is for the headphones.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Dude.
I mean, I get belligerent aboutit because people have their
headphones on all this stuff Ineed a headphone, whatever.
Oh dude.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
But hey, here's another one, this little lady.
She comes on board the plane,I'm in the back, I'm getting
stuff ready in the back andthere's nobody on the plane.
There's her and probably, likeI don't know, three other people
all the way in the front of theaircraft and when she comes out
, completely blows the lav up.
Blew the lav up, but thatwasn't that part.
(12:38):
That happens, unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Every day, on every flight.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Not in the morning, oh my God, in the morning
especially, it's a ramped upthing.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I think it's the coffee and our digestive systems
all working together in theworld.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
She comes out though, sean, and she looks at me and
she goes.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
excuse me, sir, yeah, you need to tell the pilots
they need to service those labsbecause they really smell.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Listen, this lady is just trying to cover up her
embarrassing ass stink.
I looked at her and I said,ma'am, there's four people on
the plane and you're the onlyone that used that lav, yeah.
And she's like well, the labsare full and that's like they
didn't stink whenever we boardedthe plane.
And they're, they're not full.
The plane's been here all nightand they they dumped the whole
thing yeah, we check.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Oh, we have gauges for all that.
They check the labs.
Like here's a little publicannouncement one when we get on
the plane, the crew, the wholecrew, okay, pilots, flight
attendants, everybody,everybody's checked in every
system on the plane to make surethat is ready to go.
And when you get on the plane,by the time you get on the plane
, we already know the labs havebeen cleaned, the the plane has
been cleaned, everything's empty, everything's ready to go,
(13:46):
we're stocked, resupplied, readyto go for the next flight.
So when you walk on board andtell us, oh, you need to service
the labs because they're dirtyand they're full, no, that's
just you putting a big old dumpin there.
They don't want anybody else tosmell it.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You should just do what most people do.
It's called a shit and run.
Yeah, just do it and leave theytake off running through the
airplane because they just stunkthe whole lab up.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Well, here's the other thing too.
Why Tell me this?
Why do people and we've seenthis for our entire career but
why is it like the first peoplegetting on the plane, they go
immediately?
I got to run back to the laband take a shit.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Because they've been standing in that line.
They wanted to be first on theplane, so they're holding that
present for us.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I mean, here's my personal thing Laboratory on a
plane, last place in theuniverse.
I want to take a shitAbsolutely.
And if I can get off theaircraft and go to a public
facility or some other privatearea that we can find a decent
toilet, that's where I want togo, not on a freaking plane.
I'm trapped in a tube.
(14:53):
Then I'm going to take thatsmell with me for the next two
plus whatever hours.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
No, so listen.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
People get your shit together.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
If you ever do this, just go back to your seat.
Don't bring it to our attention, because I really don't even
want to have a conversationabout it.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Dude, I bring my own spray, like if I have that
emergency.
Like you know, we've all beenthere as crew members.
You have that emergency, yougot to do what you got to do.
I got my own spray.
I mean, I don't leave homewithout it.
Exactly, they carry poopery,yeah, poo-pourri, baby.
Hey, I'm going to tell youright now, go on our link right
now on Amazon.
Dude, poo-pourri, poo-pourri issome good stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I'll tell you this other thing that happened.
I think this one is the onethat set me off more than
anything.
It really pissed me off becauseyou know how much I love dogs.
Yeah, this lady was travelingjust the other day would not
keep her dog in the carrier, andyou know, listen, I'm normally
like I said you know, you knowhow we get a little dog.
(15:54):
Look the other way everything.
But she wasn't like that.
She was a big pain in the rearend, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
You know what, when you bring animals on board and
like, there's so many peopletraveling with emotional support
animals nowadays and all thatstuff and they go through all
the steps to get theirdocumentation, whether it is or
isn't an emotional support dogor cat or whatever it is.
But here's the thing If you'rejust bringing on a pet and
you're trying to take it out ofthe carrier, which you've
(16:21):
already been told that you can'tdo that when you sign the
release to pay for your animal,don't be an ass about it,
especially if the crew's goingto be cool about it.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Well, she's being an ass because I'm an attorney.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
No, she threw that in your face.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yep, I'm an attorney Now she actually threw that in
the other crew members and Icame into it a little bit later
but I was listening to what wasgoing on with the other crew.
So the flight attendants keptgoing up there and asked her to
put the dog in there and thenshe said the dog won't go and he
(16:57):
gets out, he gets out.
Yeah, like he takes his mouthand unzips it from the inside of
that carrier and gets outhimself.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
That's basically what she was saying.
She was saying like this dogwas getting out on his own.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
He's like Inspector Gadget or something like that of
the dogs.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, and then the lady next to her was getting
really pissed because the dogkept getting up and moving
around and stuff and she keptcoming to the back.
And I get it.
She, she's upset because nowshe can't just sit down in her
seat.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
But here's what really pissed me off is when I
went up there and and we weregetting this dog back in the
carrier the carrier was way toosmall for the dog Pisses me off.
I can't tell you that's animal,animal abuse.
They take these little bittycarriers and then what she did
is here's the other thing shekept the tag on it, the price
(17:50):
tag because you know what theydo On the carrier.
Yeah, Because they use it fortheir travel and then they take
it back.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So this carrier was so small, that little dog, we
had to scrunch that little dogup into that thing.
It was absolutely ridiculous.
So just to let you know whathappens after this, all this
thing, you don't want to keepthe dog and carry.
We, we had the aircraft met andand we, we have a airport
(18:17):
personnel, they, they meet theaircraft and because they, like
you said, they, they sign anagreement.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, they sign the agreement, yeah, you get to,
they sign the agreement with thewhole the process of what they
need to do to bring the pad onand they get a whole, you know,
whole list of you know whatdon't drink, have the dog or the
cat or whatever, drink and eatand be tons before they get on
flight.
All you know it's got all thesegood advice for them, but they
just come on and you, you know,just transporting those animals
(18:45):
and they're all, most of thetime, most of the time they're
doing it correct For themajority, the majority of people
are doing it correct.
But you have those incidents,especially with this.
Sounds like this lady justdidn't want to follow the.
They wanted to be entitled,right?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Entitlement?
Yeah, absolutely is the thingthat she was being the whole
time.
I mean, you know, that's thething when people throw what
they do for their life at youand you're supposed to jump.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, hey, man, I'm telling you right now she would
have been like I'm a lawyer.
I would have been like I'm aflight attendant.
So you can read the paper thatyou signed right, and I'm the
flight attendant in charge ofthis flight right now that has
the authority to tell you to getoff the flight and take your
little foo-foo dog with you.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I felt so bad for this dog.
I mean, honestly, listen folks,the thing about when you travel
with the dog.
Make sure the dog can stand upin the kennel.
It can lay down underneath theseat, but make sure that inside
the kennel the dog's able tostand up.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That dog was like a little burrito, and more so than
her.
She pissed me off because thedog, because I love dogs and to
me that's animal abuse and youshouldn't be.
You shouldn't have a dog ifyou're going to stick them in a
little bag like that.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, I'm damn sure she's not going to travel that
way.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You might as well stick her in a little bag You'd
like to right.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, you know this goes intowhat I was talking about too.
We talk about this all the time.
I was watching this video, Isent it to you.
It was about a?
Um, it was about a professorand he talked about um, uh, why
we have laws.
Yeah, did you?
(20:29):
Did you take a look at that?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
It's an excellent, excellent video.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
What'd you think about that?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
We're going to post that too.
I mean, it's something thatliterally, uh, everybody in
America needs to literally watch.
It's a great, uh, learning toolto um Watch.
It's a great learning tool tounderstand why we should be good
citizens.
Why should we?
We should be upholding andkeeping everyone.
(20:53):
It's not only theresponsibility of just our law
enforcement and all this stuff,but it's also our responsibility
as citizens to keep each othersafe, make sure people aren't
being treated unfairly or being,you know, attacked or all kinds
of stuff.
You know our laws are there toguide us.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And protect us.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Right and protect us.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
So when I was watching this video, it was
really interesting, because wetalk about diversity a lot in
our business and in this wholevideo.
If you look at every person inthere, it's a very diverse group
of people.
That was in his class.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, I mean, it's an excellent video.
We're going to post it.
We're going to post a link onour Facebook page.
Check it out for sure, but itis the dynamics.
Whoever produced that videoreally did an excellent job of
pointing out some really goodpoints about, um, our loss and
um, you know, in in this video,um, it's not.
(21:51):
It's not a spoiler alert,because we want you to see it,
um, but you know, the firstthing is, uh, instructor does
comes in this classroom she'sgetting ready to lecture and he
doesn't start talking aboutanything at school.
He just points out one of thestudents and tells her to leave.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, he removes her from the class.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, Just like, get your stuff and get up, and she's
like what?
And he's like I'm not going totell you a second time.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
And she has to get her belongings and leave, and
everybody is standing therelooking at her and the first
thing that he says is why do wehave laws?
And they go on and they startsaying different things.
But when he comes to one personand he says for justice and it
(22:42):
really hit me because everythingthat's been going on in our
world recently, it really thisvideo kind of covers it all.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Well, yeah, I mean it really impacts us as flight
attendants.
I mean because you want peopleto understand, evaluate and
understand when we should begetting involved in certain
situations, but at the same time, we don't want situations to
get out of hand, right?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Right.
But it goes back to criticalthinking, right, and just what
we talked about in the fightsituation going into the airport
, that fight going to theairport right.
Right, there's an injusticegoing on right there.
We don't know exactly what thesituation was, but something.
There's some kind of injusticegoing on right there.
We don't know exactly what thesituation was but something.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
there's some, some kind of injustice going on.
Oh yeah yeah.
But people, people are alwaysafter the first thing they're.
Their reaction isn't to likehelp or to assist, it's to
record and they want to gettheir five seconds of fame for
the, because they'd have thisvideo.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
But that's that's our world anymore.
That's that was telling you isthat when we're on an airplane
and me and you have hadsituations that we've been on
the plane with each other andwhen something happens, we've
always had each other's back-the safety of my friend, the
safety of the public is numberone concern period.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
So I mean we're going to have, we're going to deal
with the situation in thatrespect Like you're not going to
just, you know, jump in, youknow, uneducated to the
situation of what's happening.
You're going to assess, usesome critical thinking, figure
out what's happening here andfigure out how to do with it,
and we're going to do it also asa team.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You maintain order on an aircraft.
But you know, and we're justgoing to touch on this, but just
like what happened with DanielPenny, on on the, on the, on the
subway, yeah, What'd you thinkabout that?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Well, you know, first of all, I mean I don't want to
get political and all this stuff, but I mean this is a huge
problem.
I don't live in New York.
I've traveled on the subways inNew York many, many times and
there's some crazy-ass peopleout there.
I mean I'm talking about crazy,unnerving people.
If you're not from New York andyou experience the subways
(25:01):
today, I mean they're going toscare the shit out of you.
There's a lot of people downthere a lot of mental illness, a
lot of homeless, a lot of allkinds of people down there that
you can make you feel veryunsafe.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
And when I said this to him I'm not saying this to
actually be political, becausewhen you're in a situation and
it's not just in the subway afew years back we had a big
homeless problem in the airport,right Okay, and I used to come
into the airport from theparking garage.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And they had a tremendous amount of homeless
people that had taken overairport areas.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
That's all changed now.
They had to change that andthey had to get a lot of these
homeless people out.
But let me explain something toyou.
What happened during those twoyears of walking in from the
parking garage, I was threatenedthree times with my life
threatened three times, and Iwent to the police all three
(26:03):
times and it was respondedsaying the same thing we can't
do anything until something hadbeen done.
I said what do you mean?
Something had been done andthey said until someone does
something to you.
I said wait a minute.
So someone actually has to stabme or has to do this before you
, before you, before you doanything about it.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, that's a that's .
I mean this is a really strongpoint.
I mean I this really drives mecrazy.
In society right now, we areset up in this, like, instead of
having a preventative system,we have a reactive system where
we do not do anything untilsomething's done, and so they
can only react until thatsituation happens, until
something's done, and so theycan only react until that
situation happens when we, aseducated individuals, as
(26:47):
citizens of this world, as thepublic, as we can all see where
it's going, as as as thesethings are transpiring, but we
can't do anything until we, youknow, something happens.
I mean that's some bullshit.
I mean, you, we should be ableto, we should be able to react.
I mean good leadership, as faras I'm concerned, should be
(27:08):
reactive.
It shouldn't be not reactive,it should be preventative.
It should be where we are going.
We're seeing a problem evolving.
We should step in and dosomething about it, try to, or
at least try to do somethingabout it.
But yeah, I mean I rememberthis whole situation where the
airport here, our local airport,was not doing anything about it
until there was severalincidents.
(27:31):
We had flight attendantsattacked, we had passengers
attacked, all kinds of stuff,and eventually they have gotten
the homeless out of there andthere's no more situation now.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Let me explain something to you too, though.
More situation now.
Let me explain something to youtoo, though.
Coming down the escalator, thelast time I had two flight
attendants with me.
Another passenger was behind me.
This other guy was behind herand coming into the terminal, he
had threatened to kill all ofus as we're walking in.
He threatened us Okay.
So, as I'm going down theescalator, I made those guys get
(28:02):
in front of me, and then I toldthe female passenger to step
down and get in front of me onthe escalator.
Now he's right behind me andhe's telling me basically, I'm
going to fucking kill you, andthis whole time he's sitting
there doing this and I'mthinking you know, if he makes
one move, I'm throwing him downthis escalator.
Right, he's going to do aSuperman all the way down this
thing.
So so his picture burns in myface.
(28:25):
You know what he did two weekslater, Sean.
What's that he assaulted anemployee in the parking garage.
Jeez Physically assaulted them,but that's the whole problem.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I'm saying it's a reactive instead of preventative
.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Exactly.
And for this, for this thing,this guy would not.
I had his picture and I wentdown and showed him.
I said this is the guy thatcame down and was basically
verbally abusing us coming downthe escalator.
So we're letting these peopledictate basically our safety and
(28:58):
then until someone's actuallyinjured, we're not doing
anything about it.
But going back to the DanielPenny thing and, like I said,
it's not about being political,it's about stepping up and doing
something because you'reprotecting people.
You're from the military.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm , I'm.
I mean, I watched thatinterview with Daniel Penny and
and, uh, what he had to say, andI got to tell you that, uh, I
would be in the same situationas him.
I mean, if I'm on a subway andwhat had happened and transpired
with him, um, uh, and like wewere talking about this before
we even got on, get on our show.
Here we were.
I will, I'm not going to letsomeone get harmed.
(29:33):
And I couldn't sit there andlet somebody get harmed.
You need to be stand up forpeople, and that video that
we're talking about in thebeginning it talked to this
subject.
You need to know when is theright time for you to step up
and step in for justice.
You know, I mean, you don'thave to be the initiator, no,
(30:00):
but you can definitely be thepreventer and you can be the
protector.
And what Daniel Penny didthere's not one soul in my
inkling body that says that hedid anything wrong.
I mean it's unfortunate that MrNeely, you know, had his
problems and all that stuff andhe ended up dying, but I mean in
this situation— that was yourchoice, right.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, yeah, you made a decision.
That was your choice.
You made a decision.
That was your choice, right,you made a decision.
That was your choice.
When you come and you do thatto other people and you put
people in the position to wherethey feel like their lives are
in jeopardy, you did that toyourself and, as far as I'm
concerned, that was your choice,and thank God that you had
someone there that was willingto actually stand up and to
(30:45):
protect people.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah, I know, I know you or I, if we were sitting on
that subway, would have probablybeen right there.
You know, with Daniel Penny Imean, I would definitely 100%.
The interesting thing is that Ididn't see a lot of people
helping him.
You know, there wasn't a lot ofpeople helping him.
He had the situation undercontrol as far as like
restraining him, you know therewasn't a lot of people helping
him.
He had the situation undercontrol as far as like
restraining him, but therewasn't a lot of people that like
(31:08):
got up and assisted.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
But that goes back to what we were talking about,
though, is that you have a roomfull of people and an injustice
happens and everybody staysseated, because this is our
world anymore is that we arebreeding this.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
We are breeding this to where people don't stand up
for people anymore yeah, andthen unfortunate things is like,
uh, going back to, uh, puttingthis into the airline
perspective, like being on theplane, I will tell you like,
ever since 9-11, the level ofinteraction and people willing
to assist is heightened so muchmore.
(31:42):
I mean, I think that, um, theseincidents of you know, and it's
horrible that we're a reactivesociety, that we have to wait
until something terrible happensin order to change our demeanor
and how we deal with situations.
But, um, you know, daniel Pennywas, uh, he's, as far as I'm
concerned, he's a hero andthat's how he should be treated,
(32:04):
not how he was treated.
But we're not going to get intoall that type of stuff right
here, but public safety and ourregulations and what is going on
in the world.
We need to help enforce andprotect the innocent.
I mean, protect the people thatdo not have the ability to do
it themselves.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Well, that's the same thing.
The reason why I was sayingthis is that it's basically
standing up, because me and youdo it all the time.
Whenever we're on the plane andwe feel like a flight attendant
is in a situation that we feellike they could get hurt, we
step up.
I know you do and so do I.
It doesn't matter, I'll putmyself between them and the
(32:49):
other flight attendant 100% ofthe time.
I'm not letting them get tothem without getting through me.
And that's more what I wassaying, because I love this
video, because it proves thefact is that a lot of people
they just sit down and theydon't, and they know something
that's going wrong and theydon't do anything about it.
(33:11):
They just watch or they grabtheir phone.
The first thing they do is theytake a short video.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, interesting video.
Definitely check it out.
We're going to post it on ourFacebook.
We post the link.
It's on YouTube.
Great video.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Hey, let's talk about the destination, Destination
New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
All right.
Destination New Orleans.
First of all, I can sit hereand talk all day long about the
big easy.
The big easy is the, I mean,one of my favorite places to go
in the South, and it's alldriven by food for me.
I mean, you can't go to NewOrleans and not get good food.
(33:55):
I mean there is so much goodfood.
If you like flavor, if you likespices, if you like all kinds
of different stuff that you'venever eaten before, New Orleans
is the place to go.
I mean, it is off the hook.
I mean, let's back up here Onewhy is New Orleans called Big
Easy?
It was a nickname.
(34:15):
There's a million differentreasons out there of why it's
kind of like this is justpersonified and the folklore of
these, why it's called the BigEasy.
But some of the things thatthey said, the reason of it,
it's just a relaxing lifestyledown there.
The jazz scene that's there.
The history of prohibition, allthese different things that
have happened.
There's been movies, books, allthese different things that
(34:37):
have happened.
So that nickname is stuck.
So there's not one thing thatthis is the reason why, but
that's why they call it the bigeasy and it is.
I mean, you go there.
You're kind of like in arelaxed atmosphere, this fun
jovial mardi gras flights arehilarious, man, there's so much
fun I mean everybody iseverybody's just having a great
time I'm going in, coming out,man, they're hungover
(35:01):
have you been down on bourbonstreet?
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean likebourbon street is like an
experience from one end toanother.
I mean you can walk downbourbon street and it looks like
you're going through um, Iwould say like different, um
social, uh, you know, clustersof people.
As you go, I mean the, thewhole social network and the
(35:23):
whole social atmosphere of asyou go, I mean the whole social
network and the whole socialatmosphere.
As you go down, it changes.
And how I say this is thatthere's just different types of
people in different areas ofthat, and I'm going to let you
go explore that.
I'm not going to explain it toyou because we're going to get
ourselves.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
It's like you're constantly being watched, though
, because there's people alwaysup top.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah, there's people up top, there's people down
below.
Everybody's looking at you,everybody's on the street.
People are yelling, trying toget you to come in and buy
drinks.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
There's always naked bodies somewhere.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
There's lots of naked bodies, lots of stuff you've
never seen.
You might see a bowlconstructor around somebody's
neck and walking down the street.
I mean it's just, it's justcrazy.
But, um, I mean you've got togo down there.
If you like music, it doesn'tmatter if you I'm not talking
about just jazz.
There is every kind of musicdown on Bourbon street you can
think of.
You can go into bar after barafter bar and, uh, most of these
(36:17):
bars there's no cover oranything like that and you just
go into them and you can sitthere and watch this live
entertainment.
All is unbelievable.
Love Bourbon Street.
The other part of a big historyabout New Orleans is the French
Quarter.
I mean the beautifularchitecture.
The whole area has got lots ofgreat restaurants and food.
You've got to get down there.
(36:41):
New Orleans is known for theirstreetc cars as well.
They got these street cars thatdrive all over it's, it's, it's
like their signature look kindof like of the city.
Um, you know, street cars goingdown the streets and stuff.
That's.
It's kind of like that sanfrancisco vibe.
You know how they got thetrolleys?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
oh yeah, they got street cars but they don't run
those during that, uh, duringmardi gras.
Oh yeah, they, yeah, yeah, yeahbut I mean the street.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
They don't run those during Mardi Gras, oh yeah, yeah
, they don't.
But I mean the streetcars don'tgo down Bourbon Street, because
Bourbon Street is like almostan alley.
It's like just an offshoot ofthe main strip there, but on the
main streets and stuff thestreetcars are always operating,
but it's a really cool place.
I mean.
Back to the food.
I mean I'm a—.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
You know how much I love Cajun too.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Dude, I mean the gumbo, the jambalaya, the
crawfish man.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
I couldn't even imagine me and you sitting down
eating crawfish.
Those damn things are so littleWe'd be killing a ton of them.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Oh, dude, you order them by the pounds.
I mean they come in like I'llstart off with like pounds.
Yeah, so like I'll start offwith like three pounds of
crawfish and I'm just likeshucking and sucking heads and
just just going at it, man, Imean it is crazy.
It is like, um, you're gonnalove, but crawfish season's only
between, uh, early march andmid-june and you can get
(37:59):
crawfish all year round.
But when you want some goodcrawfish and you want to be down
in new orleans or that area, um, in louisiana, that's the time
to get the crawfish.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
You're going to get some really good crawfish at
that time you know what I usedto love whenever we'd uh, we'd
fly down there is do youremember the?
Even in the airport.
I don't know if they still doit, oh it's there red beans and
rice.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Yep, yep, the cafeteria there.
It had red beans right and thenthey had.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
They had the, um, uh, the, what was it?
Uh, the cornbread the cornbread.
Yeah, dude, oh, dude this, thefood is just amazing the red
beans rice was always the to-gomeal for when we were flying
yeah, yeah, I that's just agreat staple.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
But you know the shrimp and grits they got down
there.
But you can't not talk aboutdesserts too.
Their signature dessert's downthere Bananas Foster's.
Bananas Foster's like one of myfavorite, favorite things.
I think, we covered that before, didn't we?
I know that was in.
We ran into that restaurant inIowa that had that bananas
foster the whole deal.
(39:04):
It was awesome.
But they also have the beignets.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Hey, you know that's funny as a flight attendant.
When you stop in the airport,there is a little place that
sold the beignets and one of thefunniest things is if you've
never had them is you'll get anew person.
You're like, hey, listen, youwant a beignet and they're like,
okay, and you just give it tothem, Don't tell them anything,
and their first reaction isthey'll pop it in their mouth
(39:34):
and they suck in that powder andthey instantly cough, Choke and
that white shit is all overtheir uniform.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Powdered sugar is everywhere.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
And they're covered in white powdered sugar.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, they're a mess to eat, but they're delicious.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
They are so good New.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Orleans Airport has a beignet place.
There that you definitely, inthe morning time, you're going
to see lines of people gettingbags of beignets.
Beignets is like a little donut.
If you don't know what it isthat, these little square donuts
that they put in a sack andthen they scoop a giant scoop of
(40:12):
powdered sugar and just shakeit up all over these uh donuts.
It is.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
It is out of this world and I love, I absolutely
love shrimp and grits.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Yeah, shrimp and grits, dude I love grits.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
But man that just says south to me right, yeah, oh
yeah, I mean, just says, just Ime right.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely.
I mean not just New Orleans, itjust says Southern cooking.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
If me and you were in the restaurant, we'd be like,
okay, one of each, yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Gene's looking at the list of what we're talking
about right here, of all thesedifferent things.
I was making sure that Icovered stuff.
Yeah, could like literally eatthis whole list, right?
Speaker 2 (40:42):
now, if we just cover the menu just one of these,
just bring.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
You have to cover the table right now right, the food
down in new orleans is justamazing.
I mean, if you go to neworleans and not get good food,
you've made a big mistake,because I mean you don't have to
go to.
Like you know, you can askanybody hey, where's some good
food?
I mean they're gonna tell youfreaking a whole list of places
to go to, but I I mean there isgreat food all over the place.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
One thing you didn't cover, though.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
What's that?
Which one is it?
Oh yeah, yeah, I didn't talkabout the muffaletta, muffaletta
, muffaletta.
Gee gets a kick out of me justsaying muffaletta.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
He doesn't even know what a muffaletta is.
I had no idea.
He goes gee, do you know what amufflet is?
And I said, no, is it a Cajungirl?
And he goes no, it's a, it's asandwich.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
If you haven't had a mufflet.
Mufflet sandwiches are amazing.
Especially, I'm a huge oliveperson so I like anything with
olives is just crazy.
But mufflet is this biggigantic uh, like a pie of uh.
They use a mufflet of bread andif you've ever had that in a
restaurant and stuff, it's a youknow this like kind of like
flat bread, but they slice thatinto a sandwich and then with
(41:49):
that bread they'll make thisgigantic round sandwich with
layers of all these differentlike you know more mortadello,
salamis, a bologna, all the allthese different slices of deli
set meat.
And then they took the takethis relish, this olive relish,
and they spread this big oliverelish all over the entire
(42:09):
sandwich and it's just thisgiant stack and they just cut
slices like a pie off this biggiant bread.
But that's what a muffaletta is, man.
You've got to check it out.
You'll love it.
Believe me, I know you, I knowhow much you eat.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
I just got a kick out of the name.
I mean, that was actuallypretty funny.
He's like you don't even knowwhat a muffletta is.
No, I don't know what amuffletta is.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
That's right.
We're going to get him amuffletta soon.
We're going to edumacate him onsome good food.
I said it in person, becauseyou don't know what I'm up to.
That's actually pretty funny,so all right.
Well, what's the quote?
Man?
Let's wrap this up.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Hey, before we get to the quote, I just want to say
one more thing.
Folks, listen, if you ever comeacross a situation for yourself
and what we covered today isyou don't have to be a hero, but
we do have to stand up for eachother.
So if you come into a situation, just remember there's power in
numbers and there's power inyour voice, and sometimes it's
(43:14):
all it takes is your voice.
So stand up and help peoplethat sometimes can't help
themselves.
So just remember that.
Like I said, I just want totalk about that today, but quote
of the day never expect anyoneto give you what you want.
Work hard, show some dedicationand get it yourself.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yeah, man, that's how you do it.
Do it, nobody's going to do itfor you.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Muffletta man.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yeah, we're going to leave right now and go get him a
muffletta, because he needs toexperience some good food.

Anyway, you should have seen.
Did you see that brawl inChicago?
These three guys?
I don't know exactly whathappened on there, but these
three guys were fighting thisother guy.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
So one guy against three guys and they're fighting
in the terminal.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Yeah, holiday season starting it off.
But these three it looked likethey were employees Really.
Yeah, they had.
But these three it looked likethey were employees Really.
Yeah, they had badges.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
I mean it was hanging around their neck Like TSA or
like just airline employees,don't know the guy didn't want
to check his bag or something, Idon't know, but they were
throwing down at the terminal.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Wow yeah, they were sitting there.
And then they grabbed ahold ofthe signs and started hitting
each other.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
They started banging on each other with the signs in
the airport.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, there's.
You know, there's a wet signs,there's yellow wet signs.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
They started swinging andswinging on each other.
But you know the funny thing,this whole time when I was
watching this video, it, it, itjust had me thinking that,
listen, guys, if in your lifethat you have never thrown hands
(03:46):
with someone, gotten a bigfight other than your sister,
and you got beat like thesethree guys did, this one guy he
was throwing one guy throughthis opening and he grabbed this
other guy, threw him the otherway.
The little other dude wasgrabbing the sign, chasing him
around with it.
But you can tell these guyshave never gotten in a fight,
(04:08):
even with their sister.
The one guy and here's thething you'll know this Sean a
guy with dreads.
Oops, what happens if you're ina fight with a guy with dreads?
What happens?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
He might have a little less dreads.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
That's exactly what happened.
That dude grabbed a hold of hisdreads and ripped him off,
scalped him.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Oh wow, yeah, he was holding.
That had to hurt like a son ofa bitch.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You know, it got hot and cold at the same time and he
was feeling that breeze.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Hey, but you know those dreads and stuff, man,
they're like decaying and allthey might come off a little
easy.
Actually, that's a rope, sean.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That was a rope.
He grabbed a hold of that thingand he ripped those dreads
right off of his head.
You could tell he was holdingthat patch area on his head
where he got ripped off.
And then he seen the little guyover in the corner.
He was holding the sign andthey're all coming at him and
they're getting ready to come athim again and he grabs a hold
of this pole and then they allstarted backing up.
(05:03):
But going back to what I wassaying, folks listen, if you
have never gotten a fight before, when you have an altercation
like this, go get the police.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
Yeah, go get somebody to assist you, don't start.
Now is not the time to startyour WWMA career.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Especially if you've got dreads, because you're going
to get scalped in a minute.
You cannot throw hands becauseyou're going to get scalped in a
minute.
You cannot throw hands.
You're going to get your asswhooped for sure.
How?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
do you even correct that?
The dude goes home with it inthe night and he's got this
missing patch of dreads out ofhis head.
You just braid them over andtie them into a ponytail.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I don't know.
Well they've got that sprayhair stuff that you could spray
over the patch, right?
You can't just go and like trimit, not with dreads, you know
what this goes back to, you know, when we first started our
podcast and we said how webecame friends and I have to go
back to this because we neveractually touched on this Right
(06:00):
Years ago, me and Sean and thisis a long time ago, long time
ago this is how I became reallygreat friends with him.
We were in a situation it wasoutside of a bar and it was late
at night Not going to get intothe whole situation but it got
really bad really quick and wewere out in the parking lot and
(06:23):
the next thing, you know, wehave these guys there's probably
anywhere from I don't know, 16,18 guys running at us At least.
And we were out there and I waswith my brothers and me and
Sean our friendship just startedand there was this other guy
that was with us and when heseen this big group of guys
(06:44):
running at us, he took offrunning, didn't he?
Yep?
And I looked at Sean and I saidlook, I don't leave my brothers
, you do what you got to do.
And he looked at me and he'slike I'm with you.
And he turned around and nextthing, you know, all hell broke
loose in that parking lot.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
And that ended up a little while later as all of us
spread eagle on police cars inthe middle of the heat in
Florida, which is a whole otherstory.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
But going back to what I was saying, though, sean,
this, the difference was thisokay, you had four guys and I
didn't know, sean, at that time,how he could, you know, throw
hands, basically.
But we had four of us in thisparking lot and probably 15, 18
guys running at us, and the fourin the parking lot could throw
(07:25):
hands.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, we did our damage.
Let's put it that way.
They end up letting the policelet us go at the end of the day,
because it was like they werelike wait, you four were all
fighting all those guys.
And I could hear the policegetting policeman.
He was like get the hell out ofhere.
I don't want could hear thepoliceman.
He was like get the hell out ofhere.
I don't want to hear about it.
I don't want to see youarrested today.
(07:46):
Get out of here.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That was the most fortunate thing that ever
happened to us, because it wasself-defense.
These guys came at us and theyhad other witnesses.
But going back to what I wassaying is that that's the reason
why, folks, when you have afriend like that and you have a
situation like that, and thatperson turns around and he
stands there and you're lookingat these insurmountable odds and
(08:11):
he was like, let's get it,that's why he's still here today
.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Man, we've been friends for a long time you got
to stand by your friends, man.
Oh yeah, friends family, that'swhat the life is all about.
Right, absolutely.
But hey, listen going Friends,family, that's what life is all
about right, absolutely.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But hey, listen, going back to those guys, listen
, next time you think aboutgoing after a passenger or
anybody else, realize, come backto this video and it will make
sure that you don't ever do itagain.
And, mr Dreadlocks, trust mewhen I'm telling you man, look
at that bald spot in your headand your ass ain't going to get
in a fight ever again.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, we'll repost that video.
That's online.
We'll put the link on ourFacebook page.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, and you're going to see that this guy has
his hair actually in his hands,yeah, but hey, listen.
Going back to the holidaytravel, you know me, I work a
lot and this last couple days Iactually took an extra day off.
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
You don't wait, wait, wait.
First of all, this man doesn'ttake days off.
I mean, he's the hardestworking platter den I know, like
period.
I don't know anybody elseanywhere in the freaking United
States world that works harderthan this man right here and he
gets at it like always.
Do you know when?
Speaker 2 (09:27):
we talked about the rants.
We always talk about our rants.
Well, take our bag of rants,put them in Santa's bag.
And that shit was what happenedduring the week.
Every damn day, oh no.
And forget that 5% that Italked about last week.
It was like 95% and 5% werenormal, right, and I was like I
have got to get away from thisairplane for a few days because,
(09:50):
man, they are killing me.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Hey man, holiday stress is not only for the
customers, it's for theemployees as well.
I mean we have plenty of we gotto deal with everybody's
problems coming on the plane andstuff.
So I mean I get it 've got todeal with everybody's problems
coming into the plane and stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
So I mean, I get it, You've got to decompress.
Sometimes Just step away.
Well, you're going to hear mesay this a lot throughout our
podcast Take the headphones off.
It absolutely drives me nuts.
I can't tell you how much itdrives me nuts.
This past week, Sean, I'mtelling you, all I wanted to do
was just kind of rip thoseheadphones off their heads.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
I know I have gotten to be a very short fuse with
those headphones.
I mean you can literally you'retalking eye to eye, they're
(10:49):
looking at you back and forthand they have the headphones on
and they can see, see your lipsmoving and you're trying to
communicate with them, but theystill.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They'll be like.
Then they'll like take off oneor remove one and be like what'd
you say?
I know it like.
It absolutely drives me crazydude, I don't got time.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
This is like we're.
We're in a time situation here,like most of our job is
dictated on.
We only have so much time to docertain things on the plane,
and one of them is not to repeat100, 200 times on a plane the
same damn stupid stuff.
Fasten your seatbelt.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
You're going to get an ugly.
Look, I'm telling you, I feltmy face changing by the time
that I got to the back of theairplane because I was like if
one more person with thoseheadphones just asked me again
to repeat what I was saying,it's just going to absolutely
drive me crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Yeah, hey, you know what.
Here's the headphones.
So this is related.
So you know one.
My big annoyance during whenI'm flying is that people are
always asking us for headphones,you know?
And so now I go down to thecabin and like one of the first
things I'm like I'm yelling.
I go down to the cabin and oneof the first things I'm like I'm
yelling, I'm like all right,this is it.
(11:49):
You snooze, you lose.
You got one chance at this.
I'm handing headphones out.
Who needs headphones?
And if they, hey, I'm notcoming back.
By the time I get to the end ofthe plane, if you haven't heard
and you ring your flightattendant call button, another
flight attendant is going tohelp you.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
And you know, as soon as you get in the aisle, the
first thing they're going to askyou is for the headphones.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Dude.
I mean, I get belligerent aboutit because people have their
headphones on all this stuff Ineed a headphone, whatever.
Oh dude.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
But hey, here's another one, this little lady.
She comes on board the plane,I'm in the back, I'm getting
stuff ready in the back andthere's nobody on the plane.
There's her and probably, likeI don't know, three other people
all the way in the front of theaircraft and when she comes out
, completely blows the lav up.
Blew the lav up, but thatwasn't that part.
(12:38):
That happens, unfortunately.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Every day, on every flight.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Not in the morning, oh my God, in the morning
especially, it's a ramped upthing.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I think it's the coffee and our digestive systems
all working together in theworld.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
She comes out though, sean, and she looks at me and
she goes.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
excuse me, sir, yeah, you need to tell the pilots
they need to service those labsbecause they really smell.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Listen, this lady is just trying to cover up her
embarrassing ass stink.
I looked at her and I said,ma'am, there's four people on
the plane and you're the onlyone that used that lav, yeah.
And she's like well, the labsare full and that's like they
didn't stink whenever we boardedthe plane.
And they're, they're not full.
The plane's been here all nightand they they dumped the whole
thing yeah, we check.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Oh, we have gauges for all that.
They check the labs.
Like here's a little publicannouncement one when we get on
the plane, the crew, the wholecrew, okay, pilots, flight
attendants, everybody,everybody's checked in every
system on the plane to make surethat is ready to go.
And when you get on the plane,by the time you get on the plane
, we already know the labs havebeen cleaned, the the plane has
been cleaned, everything's empty, everything's ready to go,
(13:46):
we're stocked, resupplied, readyto go for the next flight.
So when you walk on board andtell us, oh, you need to service
the labs because they're dirtyand they're full, no, that's
just you putting a big old dumpin there.
They don't want anybody else tosmell it.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
You should just do what most people do.
It's called a shit and run.
Yeah, just do it and leave theytake off running through the
airplane because they just stunkthe whole lab up.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Well, here's the other thing too.
Why Tell me this?
Why do people and we've seenthis for our entire career but
why is it like the first peoplegetting on the plane, they go
immediately?
I got to run back to the laband take a shit.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Because they've been standing in that line.
They wanted to be first on theplane, so they're holding that
present for us.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
I mean, here's my personal thing Laboratory on a
plane, last place in theuniverse.
I want to take a shitAbsolutely.
And if I can get off theaircraft and go to a public
facility or some other privatearea that we can find a decent
toilet, that's where I want togo, not on a freaking plane.
I'm trapped in a tube.
(14:53):
Then I'm going to take thatsmell with me for the next two
plus whatever hours.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
No, so listen.
Speaker 1 (15:01):
People get your shit together.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
If you ever do this, just go back to your seat.
Don't bring it to our attention, because I really don't even
want to have a conversationabout it.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Dude, I bring my own spray, like if I have that
emergency.
Like you know, we've all beenthere as crew members.
You have that emergency, yougot to do what you got to do.
I got my own spray.
I mean, I don't leave homewithout it.
Exactly, they carry poopery,yeah, poo-pourri, baby.
Hey, I'm going to tell youright now, go on our link right
now on Amazon.
Dude, poo-pourri, poo-pourri issome good stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
I'll tell you this other thing that happened.
I think this one is the onethat set me off more than
anything.
It really pissed me off becauseyou know how much I love dogs.
Yeah, this lady was travelingjust the other day would not
keep her dog in the carrier, andyou know, listen, I'm normally
like I said you know, you knowhow we get a little dog.
(15:54):
Look the other way everything.
But she wasn't like that.
She was a big pain in the rearend, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
You know what, when you bring animals on board and
like, there's so many peopletraveling with emotional support
animals nowadays and all thatstuff and they go through all
the steps to get theirdocumentation, whether it is or
isn't an emotional support dogor cat or whatever it is.
But here's the thing If you'rejust bringing on a pet and
you're trying to take it out ofthe carrier, which you've
(16:21):
already been told that you can'tdo that when you sign the
release to pay for your animal,don't be an ass about it,
especially if the crew's goingto be cool about it.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Well, she's being an ass because I'm an attorney.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
No, she threw that in your face.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yep, I'm an attorney Now she actually threw that in
the other crew members and Icame into it a little bit later
but I was listening to what wasgoing on with the other crew.
So the flight attendants keptgoing up there and asked her to
put the dog in there and thenshe said the dog won't go and he
(16:57):
gets out, he gets out.
Yeah, like he takes his mouthand unzips it from the inside of
that carrier and gets outhimself.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
That's basically what she was saying.
She was saying like this dogwas getting out on his own.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
He's like Inspector Gadget or something like that of
the dogs.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Yeah, and then the lady next to her was getting
really pissed because the dogkept getting up and moving
around and stuff and she keptcoming to the back.
And I get it.
She, she's upset because nowshe can't just sit down in her
seat.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
But here's what really pissed me off is when I
went up there and and we weregetting this dog back in the
carrier the carrier was way toosmall for the dog Pisses me off.
I can't tell you that's animal,animal abuse.
They take these little bittycarriers and then what she did
is here's the other thing shekept the tag on it, the price
(17:50):
tag because you know what theydo On the carrier.
Yeah, Because they use it fortheir travel and then they take
it back.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So this carrier was so small, that little dog, we
had to scrunch that little dogup into that thing.
It was absolutely ridiculous.
So just to let you know whathappens after this, all this
thing, you don't want to keepthe dog and carry.
We, we had the aircraft met andand we, we have a airport
(18:17):
personnel, they, they meet theaircraft and because they, like
you said, they, they sign anagreement.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, they sign the agreement, yeah, you get to,
they sign the agreement with thewhole the process of what they
need to do to bring the pad onand they get a whole, you know,
whole list of you know whatdon't drink, have the dog or the
cat or whatever, drink and eatand be tons before they get on
flight.
All you know it's got all thesegood advice for them, but they
just come on and you, you know,just transporting those animals
(18:45):
and they're all, most of thetime, most of the time they're
doing it correct For themajority, the majority of people
are doing it correct.
But you have those incidents,especially with this.
Sounds like this lady justdidn't want to follow the.
They wanted to be entitled,right?
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Entitlement?
Yeah, absolutely is the thingthat she was being the whole
time.
I mean, you know, that's thething when people throw what
they do for their life at youand you're supposed to jump.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, hey, man, I'm telling you right now she would
have been like I'm a lawyer.
I would have been like I'm aflight attendant.
So you can read the paper thatyou signed right, and I'm the
flight attendant in charge ofthis flight right now that has
the authority to tell you to getoff the flight and take your
little foo-foo dog with you.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I felt so bad for this dog.
I mean, honestly, listen folks,the thing about when you travel
with the dog.
Make sure the dog can stand upin the kennel.
It can lay down underneath theseat, but make sure that inside
the kennel the dog's able tostand up.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
That dog was like a little burrito, and more so than
her.
She pissed me off because thedog, because I love dogs and to
me that's animal abuse and youshouldn't be.
You shouldn't have a dog ifyou're going to stick them in a
little bag like that.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, I'm damn sure she's not going to travel that
way.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
You might as well stick her in a little bag You'd
like to right.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, you know this goes intowhat I was talking about too.
We talk about this all the time.
I was watching this video, Isent it to you.
It was about a?
Um, it was about a professorand he talked about um, uh, why
we have laws.
Yeah, did you?
(20:29):
Did you take a look at that?
Speaker 1 (20:30):
It's an excellent, excellent video.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
What'd you think about that?
Speaker 1 (20:33):
We're going to post that too.
I mean, it's something thatliterally, uh, everybody in
America needs to literally watch.
It's a great, uh, learning toolto um Watch.
It's a great learning tool tounderstand why we should be good
citizens.
Why should we?
We should be upholding andkeeping everyone.
(20:53):
It's not only theresponsibility of just our law
enforcement and all this stuff,but it's also our responsibility
as citizens to keep each othersafe, make sure people aren't
being treated unfairly or being,you know, attacked or all kinds
of stuff.
You know our laws are there toguide us.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And protect us.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
Right and protect us.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
So when I was watching this video, it was
really interesting, because wetalk about diversity a lot in
our business and in this wholevideo.
If you look at every person inthere, it's a very diverse group
of people.
That was in his class.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Yeah, I mean, it's an excellent video.
We're going to post it.
We're going to post a link onour Facebook page.
Check it out for sure, but itis the dynamics.
Whoever produced that videoreally did an excellent job of
pointing out some really goodpoints about, um, our loss and
um, you know, in in this video,um, it's not.
(21:51):
It's not a spoiler alert,because we want you to see it,
um, but you know, the firstthing is, uh, instructor does
comes in this classroom she'sgetting ready to lecture and he
doesn't start talking aboutanything at school.
He just points out one of thestudents and tells her to leave.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, he removes her from the class.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Yeah, Just like, get your stuff and get up, and she's
like what?
And he's like I'm not going totell you a second time.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
And she has to get her belongings and leave, and
everybody is standing therelooking at her and the first
thing that he says is why do wehave laws?
And they go on and they startsaying different things.
But when he comes to one personand he says for justice and it
(22:42):
really hit me because everythingthat's been going on in our
world recently, it really thisvideo kind of covers it all.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
Well, yeah, I mean it really impacts us as flight
attendants.
I mean because you want peopleto understand, evaluate and
understand when we should begetting involved in certain
situations, but at the same time, we don't want situations to
get out of hand, right?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Right.
But it goes back to criticalthinking, right, and just what
we talked about in the fightsituation going into the airport
, that fight going to theairport right.
Right, there's an injusticegoing on right there.
We don't know exactly what thesituation was, but something.
There's some kind of injusticegoing on right there.
We don't know exactly what thesituation was but something.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
there's some, some kind of injustice going on.
Oh yeah yeah.
But people, people are alwaysafter the first thing they're.
Their reaction isn't to likehelp or to assist, it's to
record and they want to gettheir five seconds of fame for
the, because they'd have thisvideo.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
But that's that's our world anymore.
That's that was telling you isthat when we're on an airplane
and me and you have hadsituations that we've been on
the plane with each other andwhen something happens, we've
always had each other's back-the safety of my friend, the
safety of the public is numberone concern period.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
So I mean we're going to have, we're going to deal
with the situation in thatrespect Like you're not going to
just, you know, jump in, youknow, uneducated to the
situation of what's happening.
You're going to assess, usesome critical thinking, figure
out what's happening here andfigure out how to do with it,
and we're going to do it also asa team.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You maintain order on an aircraft.
But you know, and we're justgoing to touch on this, but just
like what happened with DanielPenny, on on the, on the, on the
subway, yeah, What'd you thinkabout that?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Well, you know, first of all, I mean I don't want to
get political and all this stuff, but I mean this is a huge
problem.
I don't live in New York.
I've traveled on the subways inNew York many, many times and
there's some crazy-ass peopleout there.
I mean I'm talking about crazy,unnerving people.
If you're not from New York andyou experience the subways
(25:01):
today, I mean they're going toscare the shit out of you.
There's a lot of people downthere a lot of mental illness, a
lot of homeless, a lot of allkinds of people down there that
you can make you feel veryunsafe.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
And when I said this to him I'm not saying this to
actually be political, becausewhen you're in a situation and
it's not just in the subway afew years back we had a big
homeless problem in the airport,right Okay, and I used to come
into the airport from theparking garage.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Right.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
And they had a tremendous amount of homeless
people that had taken overairport areas.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
That's all changed now.
They had to change that andthey had to get a lot of these
homeless people out.
But let me explain something toyou.
What happened during those twoyears of walking in from the
parking garage, I was threatenedthree times with my life
threatened three times, and Iwent to the police all three
(26:03):
times and it was respondedsaying the same thing we can't
do anything until something hadbeen done.
I said what do you mean?
Something had been done andthey said until someone does
something to you.
I said wait a minute.
So someone actually has to stabme or has to do this before you
, before you, before you doanything about it.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah, that's a that's .
I mean this is a really strongpoint.
I mean I this really drives mecrazy.
In society right now, we areset up in this, like, instead of
having a preventative system,we have a reactive system where
we do not do anything untilsomething's done, and so they
can only react until thatsituation happens, until
something's done, and so theycan only react until that
situation happens when we, aseducated individuals, as
(26:47):
citizens of this world, as thepublic, as we can all see where
it's going, as as as thesethings are transpiring, but we
can't do anything until we, youknow, something happens.
I mean that's some bullshit.
I mean, you, we should be ableto, we should be able to react.
I mean good leadership, as faras I'm concerned, should be
(27:08):
reactive.
It shouldn't be not reactive,it should be preventative.
It should be where we are going.
We're seeing a problem evolving.
We should step in and dosomething about it, try to, or
at least try to do somethingabout it.
But yeah, I mean I rememberthis whole situation where the
airport here, our local airport,was not doing anything about it
until there was severalincidents.
(27:31):
We had flight attendantsattacked, we had passengers
attacked, all kinds of stuff,and eventually they have gotten
the homeless out of there andthere's no more situation now.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
Let me explain something to you too, though.
More situation now.
Let me explain something to youtoo, though.
Coming down the escalator, thelast time I had two flight
attendants with me.
Another passenger was behind me.
This other guy was behind herand coming into the terminal, he
had threatened to kill all ofus as we're walking in.
He threatened us Okay.
So, as I'm going down theescalator, I made those guys get
(28:02):
in front of me, and then I toldthe female passenger to step
down and get in front of me onthe escalator.
Now he's right behind me andhe's telling me basically, I'm
going to fucking kill you, andthis whole time he's sitting
there doing this and I'mthinking you know, if he makes
one move, I'm throwing him downthis escalator.
Right, he's going to do aSuperman all the way down this
thing.
So so his picture burns in myface.
(28:25):
You know what he did two weekslater, Sean.
What's that he assaulted anemployee in the parking garage.
Jeez Physically assaulted them,but that's the whole problem.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
I'm saying it's a reactive instead of preventative
.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Exactly.
And for this, for this thing,this guy would not.
I had his picture and I wentdown and showed him.
I said this is the guy thatcame down and was basically
verbally abusing us coming downthe escalator.
So we're letting these peopledictate basically our safety and
(28:58):
then until someone's actuallyinjured, we're not doing
anything about it.
But going back to the DanielPenny thing and, like I said,
it's not about being political,it's about stepping up and doing
something because you'reprotecting people.
You're from the military.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm , I'm.
I mean, I watched thatinterview with Daniel Penny and
and, uh, what he had to say, andI got to tell you that, uh, I
would be in the same situationas him.
I mean, if I'm on a subway andwhat had happened and transpired
with him, um, uh, and like wewere talking about this before
we even got on, get on our show.
Here we were.
I will, I'm not going to letsomeone get harmed.
(29:33):
And I couldn't sit there andlet somebody get harmed.
You need to be stand up forpeople, and that video that
we're talking about in thebeginning it talked to this
subject.
You need to know when is theright time for you to step up
and step in for justice.
You know, I mean, you don'thave to be the initiator, no,
(30:00):
but you can definitely be thepreventer and you can be the
protector.
And what Daniel Penny didthere's not one soul in my
inkling body that says that hedid anything wrong.
I mean it's unfortunate that MrNeely, you know, had his
problems and all that stuff andhe ended up dying, but I mean in
this situation— that was yourchoice, right.
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Yeah, yeah, you made a decision.
That was your choice.
You made a decision.
That was your choice, right,you made a decision.
That was your choice.
When you come and you do thatto other people and you put
people in the position to wherethey feel like their lives are
in jeopardy, you did that toyourself and, as far as I'm
concerned, that was your choice,and thank God that you had
someone there that was willingto actually stand up and to
(30:45):
protect people.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah, I know, I know you or I, if we were sitting on
that subway, would have probablybeen right there.
You know, with Daniel Penny Imean, I would definitely 100%.
The interesting thing is that Ididn't see a lot of people
helping him.
You know, there wasn't a lot ofpeople helping him.
He had the situation undercontrol as far as like
restraining him, you know therewasn't a lot of people helping
him.
He had the situation undercontrol as far as like
restraining him, but therewasn't a lot of people that like
(31:08):
got up and assisted.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
But that goes back to what we were talking about,
though, is that you have a roomfull of people and an injustice
happens and everybody staysseated, because this is our
world anymore is that we arebreeding this.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
We are breeding this to where people don't stand up
for people anymore yeah, andthen unfortunate things is like,
uh, going back to, uh, puttingthis into the airline
perspective, like being on theplane, I will tell you like,
ever since 9-11, the level ofinteraction and people willing
to assist is heightened so muchmore.
(31:42):
I mean, I think that, um, theseincidents of you know, and it's
horrible that we're a reactivesociety, that we have to wait
until something terrible happensin order to change our demeanor
and how we deal with situations.
But, um, you know, daniel Pennywas, uh, he's, as far as I'm
concerned, he's a hero andthat's how he should be treated,
(32:04):
not how he was treated.
But we're not going to get intoall that type of stuff right
here, but public safety and ourregulations and what is going on
in the world.
We need to help enforce andprotect the innocent.
I mean, protect the people thatdo not have the ability to do
it themselves.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Well, that's the same thing.
The reason why I was sayingthis is that it's basically
standing up, because me and youdo it all the time.
Whenever we're on the plane andwe feel like a flight attendant
is in a situation that we feellike they could get hurt, we
step up.
I know you do and so do I.
It doesn't matter, I'll putmyself between them and the
(32:49):
other flight attendant 100% ofthe time.
I'm not letting them get tothem without getting through me.
And that's more what I wassaying, because I love this
video, because it proves thefact is that a lot of people
they just sit down and theydon't, and they know something
that's going wrong and theydon't do anything about it.
(33:11):
They just watch or they grabtheir phone.
The first thing they do is theytake a short video.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, interesting video.
Definitely check it out.
We're going to post it on ourFacebook.
We post the link.
It's on YouTube.
Great video.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Hey, let's talk about the destination, Destination
New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
All right.
Destination New Orleans.
First of all, I can sit hereand talk all day long about the
big easy.
The big easy is the, I mean,one of my favorite places to go
in the South, and it's alldriven by food for me.
I mean, you can't go to NewOrleans and not get good food.
(33:55):
I mean there is so much goodfood.
If you like flavor, if you likespices, if you like all kinds
of different stuff that you'venever eaten before, New Orleans
is the place to go.
I mean, it is off the hook.
I mean, let's back up here Onewhy is New Orleans called Big
Easy?
It was a nickname.
(34:15):
There's a million differentreasons out there of why it's
kind of like this is justpersonified and the folklore of
these, why it's called the BigEasy.
But some of the things thatthey said, the reason of it,
it's just a relaxing lifestyledown there.
The jazz scene that's there.
The history of prohibition, allthese different things that
have happened.
There's been movies, books, allthese different things that
(34:37):
have happened.
So that nickname is stuck.
So there's not one thing thatthis is the reason why, but
that's why they call it the bigeasy and it is.
I mean, you go there.
You're kind of like in arelaxed atmosphere, this fun
jovial mardi gras flights arehilarious, man, there's so much
fun I mean everybody iseverybody's just having a great
time I'm going in, coming out,man, they're hungover
(35:01):
have you been down on bourbonstreet?
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean likebourbon street is like an
experience from one end toanother.
I mean you can walk downbourbon street and it looks like
you're going through um, Iwould say like different, um
social, uh, you know, clustersof people.
As you go, I mean the, thewhole social network and the
(35:23):
whole social atmosphere of asyou go, I mean the whole social
network and the whole socialatmosphere.
As you go down, it changes.
And how I say this is thatthere's just different types of
people in different areas ofthat, and I'm going to let you
go explore that.
I'm not going to explain it toyou because we're going to get
ourselves.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
It's like you're constantly being watched, though
, because there's people alwaysup top.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah, there's people up top, there's people down
below.
Everybody's looking at you,everybody's on the street.
People are yelling, trying toget you to come in and buy
drinks.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
There's always naked bodies somewhere.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
There's lots of naked bodies, lots of stuff you've
never seen.
You might see a bowlconstructor around somebody's
neck and walking down the street.
I mean it's just, it's justcrazy.
But, um, I mean you've got togo down there.
If you like music, it doesn'tmatter if you I'm not talking
about just jazz.
There is every kind of musicdown on Bourbon street you can
think of.
You can go into bar after barafter bar and, uh, most of these
(36:17):
bars there's no cover oranything like that and you just
go into them and you can sitthere and watch this live
entertainment.
All is unbelievable.
Love Bourbon Street.
The other part of a big historyabout New Orleans is the French
Quarter.
I mean the beautifularchitecture.
The whole area has got lots ofgreat restaurants and food.
You've got to get down there.
(36:41):
New Orleans is known for theirstreetc cars as well.
They got these street cars thatdrive all over it's, it's, it's
like their signature look kindof like of the city.
Um, you know, street cars goingdown the streets and stuff.
That's.
It's kind of like that sanfrancisco vibe.
You know how they got thetrolleys?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
oh yeah, they got street cars but they don't run
those during that, uh, duringmardi gras.
Oh yeah, they, yeah, yeah, yeahbut I mean the street.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
They don't run those during Mardi Gras, oh yeah, yeah
, they don't.
But I mean the streetcars don'tgo down Bourbon Street, because
Bourbon Street is like almostan alley.
It's like just an offshoot ofthe main strip there, but on the
main streets and stuff thestreetcars are always operating,
but it's a really cool place.
I mean.
Back to the food.
I mean I'm a—.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
You know how much I love Cajun too.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Dude, I mean the gumbo, the jambalaya, the
crawfish man.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
I couldn't even imagine me and you sitting down
eating crawfish.
Those damn things are so littleWe'd be killing a ton of them.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Oh, dude, you order them by the pounds.
I mean they come in like I'llstart off with like pounds.
Yeah, so like I'll start offwith like three pounds of
crawfish and I'm just likeshucking and sucking heads and
just just going at it, man, Imean it is crazy.
It is like, um, you're gonnalove, but crawfish season's only
between, uh, early march andmid-june and you can get
(37:59):
crawfish all year round.
But when you want some goodcrawfish and you want to be down
in new orleans or that area, um, in louisiana, that's the time
to get the crawfish.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
You're going to get some really good crawfish at
that time you know what I usedto love whenever we'd uh, we'd
fly down there is do youremember the?
Even in the airport.
I don't know if they still doit, oh it's there red beans and
rice.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Yep, yep, the cafeteria there.
It had red beans right and thenthey had.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
They had the, um, uh, the, what was it?
Uh, the cornbread the cornbread.
Yeah, dude, oh, dude this, thefood is just amazing the red
beans rice was always the to-gomeal for when we were flying
yeah, yeah, I that's just agreat staple.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
But you know the shrimp and grits they got down
there.
But you can't not talk aboutdesserts too.
Their signature dessert's downthere Bananas Foster's.
Bananas Foster's like one of myfavorite, favorite things.
I think, we covered that before, didn't we?
I know that was in.
We ran into that restaurant inIowa that had that bananas
foster the whole deal.
(39:04):
It was awesome.
But they also have the beignets.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Hey, you know that's funny as a flight attendant.
When you stop in the airport,there is a little place that
sold the beignets and one of thefunniest things is if you've
never had them is you'll get anew person.
You're like, hey, listen, youwant a beignet and they're like,
okay, and you just give it tothem, Don't tell them anything,
and their first reaction isthey'll pop it in their mouth
(39:34):
and they suck in that powder andthey instantly cough, Choke and
that white shit is all overtheir uniform.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Powdered sugar is everywhere.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
And they're covered in white powdered sugar.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, they're a mess to eat, but they're delicious.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
They are so good New.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Orleans Airport has a beignet place.
There that you definitely, inthe morning time, you're going
to see lines of people gettingbags of beignets.
Beignets is like a little donut.
If you don't know what it isthat, these little square donuts
that they put in a sack andthen they scoop a giant scoop of
(40:12):
powdered sugar and just shakeit up all over these uh donuts.
It is.
Speaker 2 (40:13):
It is out of this world and I love, I absolutely
love shrimp and grits.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Yeah, shrimp and grits, dude I love grits.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
But man that just says south to me right, yeah, oh
yeah, I mean, just says, just Ime right.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Yeah, oh yeah, absolutely.
I mean not just New Orleans, itjust says Southern cooking.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
If me and you were in the restaurant, we'd be like,
okay, one of each, yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Gene's looking at the list of what we're talking
about right here, of all thesedifferent things.
I was making sure that Icovered stuff.
Yeah, could like literally eatthis whole list, right?
Speaker 2 (40:42):
now, if we just cover the menu just one of these,
just bring.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
You have to cover the table right now right, the food
down in new orleans is justamazing.
I mean, if you go to neworleans and not get good food,
you've made a big mistake,because I mean you don't have to
go to.
Like you know, you can askanybody hey, where's some good
food?
I mean they're gonna tell youfreaking a whole list of places
to go to, but I I mean there isgreat food all over the place.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
One thing you didn't cover, though.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
What's that?
Which one is it?
Oh yeah, yeah, I didn't talkabout the muffaletta, muffaletta
, muffaletta.
Gee gets a kick out of me justsaying muffaletta.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
He doesn't even know what a muffaletta is.
I had no idea.
He goes gee, do you know what amufflet is?
And I said, no, is it a Cajungirl?
And he goes no, it's a, it's asandwich.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
If you haven't had a mufflet.
Mufflet sandwiches are amazing.
Especially, I'm a huge oliveperson so I like anything with
olives is just crazy.
But mufflet is this biggigantic uh, like a pie of uh.
They use a mufflet of bread andif you've ever had that in a
restaurant and stuff, it's a youknow this like kind of like
flat bread, but they slice thatinto a sandwich and then with
(41:49):
that bread they'll make thisgigantic round sandwich with
layers of all these differentlike you know more mortadello,
salamis, a bologna, all the allthese different slices of deli
set meat.
And then they took the takethis relish, this olive relish,
and they spread this big oliverelish all over the entire
(42:09):
sandwich and it's just thisgiant stack and they just cut
slices like a pie off this biggiant bread.
But that's what a muffaletta is, man.
You've got to check it out.
You'll love it.
Believe me, I know you, I knowhow much you eat.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
I just got a kick out of the name.
I mean, that was actuallypretty funny.
He's like you don't even knowwhat a muffletta is.
No, I don't know what amuffletta is.
Speaker 1 (42:31):
That's right.
We're going to get him amuffletta soon.
We're going to edumacate him onsome good food.
I said it in person, becauseyou don't know what I'm up to.
That's actually pretty funny,so all right.
Well, what's the quote?
Man?
Let's wrap this up.
Speaker 2 (42:53):
Hey, before we get to the quote, I just want to say
one more thing.
Folks, listen, if you ever comeacross a situation for yourself
and what we covered today isyou don't have to be a hero, but
we do have to stand up for eachother.
So if you come into a situation, just remember there's power in
numbers and there's power inyour voice, and sometimes it's
(43:14):
all it takes is your voice.
So stand up and help peoplethat sometimes can't help
themselves.
So just remember that.
Like I said, I just want totalk about that today, but quote
of the day never expect anyoneto give you what you want.
Work hard, show some dedicationand get it yourself.
Speaker 1 (43:38):
Yeah, man, that's how you do it.
Do it, nobody's going to do itfor you.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Muffletta man.
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Yeah, we're going to leave right now and go get him a
muffletta, because he needs toexperience some good food.
